The Gloom Stalker: 5-Minute Builds

Fighter 2 always felt so..gamey to me. My wizards a fighter cuz..ahh..reasons. I really like the druid of the Stars for this build. The duality of defending your forest with radiant light when attacked and sticking to the shadows when taking the fight to the enemy is really cool. And bonus action bow attack that scales off wisdom for a 2 level dip is pretty sweet. Guiding Bolt, guidence. Great class imo

I'm going Owlin; 150' Darkvision, attacking from beyond most monsters blindsight range (and flying, so tremorsense is not a worry) and beyond the range of light spells.

Nice build. The downside is how feat hungry it is, and lack of ASIs due to MCing. Using ShpStr with only a 16 DEX most of the way can hurt. If a DM gives you liberal usage of Umbral Sight, then it's non-issues.

With the new Shadar Kai revision would Vuman out perform the elf?

seems like nobody like to play with RP flavor and only plays OPtimized..where's the fun if you are optimizing every single aspect without any RP involved..give your character some flaws...makes things more interesting

Awesome, would you mind doing a melee based Gloom stalker build?

With Spelljammer, you can now be a firearms GloomStalker thanks to the Giff

I just rolled up a Bugbear Gloomstalker that I plan to multiclass into battlemaster and my DM is going to allow renaissance guns in the campaign so I plan to grab Gunner and a Musket at lvl 4.

I chose drow for my gloom stalker so I could take advantage of the 150 darkvision when I get to 3rd level. I’m fairly new to dnd still though but I thought the disadvantages wouldn’t hurt given that I’m going to be playing in a campaign that will have lots of dark or dim areas that invite combat. I also just have an rp idea that I want to play out. No, it isn’t the broody character. It’s the nervous wreck who wants to be more social type. No dark past on this one, that belongs to his parents and, given he is an elf and an adult, all of that is far enough into the past to be irrelevant to himself. Anyway, yeah. I’m excited to play gloomstalker. Thanks for the advice regarding choices!

wow, I've really been sleeping on rangers

I really like the 5-minute-builds idea. Looking forward to more!

I like it, but I also like the longer builds. Just have to make time for those.

Good idea with the new series
