We came up with a lot of interesting things you could do when thinking with portals, including some odd suggestions involving bison, and there’s a lot of fun to be had with this ability if you’re the kind of person who likes thinking outside the box, but as far as everyday usage goes one of the more practical uses was as a method of transportation. Still, it’s something that is just so cool that we couldn’t help but return to it again and again, never quite coming up with a build we liked but still endlessly discussing it. The ability to use bardic music to completely redirect portals, breaches and other similar passages is so tantalizing in its potential, but when you sit down and think about how a build based around it would actually play at a real table, it starts to break down. I mentioned a couple of showcases ago that one of the abilities we’ve looked at longingly as the basis for a full build many times is the planar bard ACF, portal dissonance. Typically one of us writes up the build concept and possibly a stub, the others share feedback on Discord or in some of the shared documents we have, and together we refine things until we’re happy with the final product.įor this showcase, we’ll have a bit of a departure from our usual builds: Ghost Riding the Whip!īecause why bother leaving the house unless you can ride in style? Right now the group consists of myself, the Viscount, Akal Saris, Venger, WhamBamSam, Darrin and daremetoidareyou. Also, feel free to use anything showcased here in any of your campaigns-and let us know how they work out if you do! Again, the goal is discussion, so feel free to discuss the build, talk about other options, make suggestions or tear it all to shreds. While each of us has a different build philosophy, in general the intent is to create something that can be played in most groups from level 1 to level 20.
The goal is (usually) not to show off any fancy new TO trick, but to showcase effective, playable builds and spur discussion. In the spirit of Tempest Stormwind’s Weekly Optimization Showcase (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?), I thought I’d showcase the end results here. Recently I decided to make a dedicated effort to flesh out some of these builds into full write-ups, and reached out to some friends in the CO community who might be interested in doing the same.
Even when I don't have an active game going, I still like to pop open my builds folder and try to refine things.
With more than a decade and a half of toying around with 3.5, I’ve accumulated a lot of spare builds and ideas.
