Errata: I had an error in my calculations at levels 13 and 17 - I accidentally added 10 damage to Cloud of Daggers for some reason - this lowers the damage numbers at those levels, but still keeps them at the top of the class overall. I'll adjust the spreadsheets accordingly. Also! Contingency only works on 5th level spells and lower and the spell only affects you - no Force Cage or Wall of Force or Crown of Stars! :) Also! I'm seeing people talk about Mage Armor - I'll admit, while I was working the build I was just thinking "Natural Armor and Mage Armor don't stack" and, while that's true, I don't believe there's any reason why you couldn't cast Mage Armor (which lasts for 8 hours without concentration), and benefit from it while wild shaped *instead* of your Natural Armor, since the PHB states "If you have multiple features that give you different ways to calculate your AC, you choose which one to use." So yeah, that's a 13 instead of an 11 (Alas, Brown Bears have a 10 Dex or it'd be higher). I'll take a +2 bump. Especially since it'll eventually be at an 18 when bladesinging... not bad at all.

I love how you’ve taken several elements that individually people hate on and combined them into a great build. A druid/bladesinger multiclass is a challenge, but you made it work with cloud of daggers, no one’s first choice for 2nd level spells, and giff, no one’s first choice of ancestry. You announce you’re a giff druid/bladesinger and they start laughing, you up-cast cloud of daggers and they start laughing harder, then you wildshape into bear, drag them into cloud of daggers and hold them there until they die and suddenly they’re not laughing anymore.

This build seems like the kind of thing that a DM would start building encounters specifically to counter after seeing more than twice.

I like the idea of taking two more druid for giant octopus. Flavor it with a piraty curved sword or rapier as the singer blade and sea shanties out of wild shape. Almost same str, more hp, and you now have a single 15' reach 2d6 tentacle attack that initates grapple to hold the poor soul in your piratey cloud of daggers. And that's just on land.

@CaspaDeSobaco

Relying on a +5 to hit to grapple will be very rough, especially later on. Similarly, the 10 speed will make it near impossible to drag enemies into the cloud of dagger. So unless you're playing an underwater or pirate-style campaign, I'd advice against it.

I want the Paladin Bladesinger now!

Re: Song of Defense and Concentration: I know the bear has a higher than typical chance of getting hit, but if you get hit by something big, you can use your reaction to drop the damage to a point where your concentration check is more manageable. "He gets hit for 30." (That's a 15 to save concentration) Second level spell to prevent ten damage? Now it's a ten.

You can cheese the heck out of Contingency. "When I go 'rowr, rowr, rowr,' it casts fireball." Get a free action fireball (or whatever) while in bear form.

7:14 "they actually have a new candle, and they SCENT it to me" 😂

The more time passes the more I'm getting convinced Cloud of Daggers is the strongest damage spell at 2nd level, potentially period. No save, magical slashing damage, enter-and-start-of-turn clause, insane scaling, this spell is the best spellblade spell in the game.

Love the synergy between you and the Dungeon Dudes. I don’t know that “is it better than…” is the best question here. But certainly you can answer “yes!” to “is this a fun and powerful build.” Bonus points: super distinctive.

I would think that Mage Armour would be a fairly obvious pickup instead of Absorb (much though I love Absorb, taking that at Wizard 2 seems perfactly reasonable) or Silvery (if that is even allowed at your table). A 2 point AC bump to your bear form will help extend your wildshape durability.

@DnDDeepDive

8 ай бұрын

going to add to my pinned comment about this...

The major drawback that is probably the biggest one is... 34 health. By level 10 enemies are going to be doing multi attacks that can eat through 34 health in a moment, or a fireball (or many other spells) and you only have ONE reaction fairly late in the build to even reduce the damage. I would imagine that you will be dropping out of bear form fairly often once reaching around level 10 (especially if you are the largest creature and or the enemies know anything about your tactics)

@DnDDeepDive

8 ай бұрын

Very possible. I'm hoping that, with the help of either wild shape healing or, later, song of defense, we can mitigate that as much as possible, but don't forget: we're not going to be getting hit *every* time an enemy attacks, and we have two uses of wild shape per short rest... get knocked out, next round, new bear, keep grappling. I'd love to try it out in game and see how well it works outside of the lab.

I was wondering if someone had mentioned this, as 11 AC base and 34 hp is really weak in mid levels even. Even if we were to add +2 ac from mage armour and +5 from Bladesong, 18 AC will help somewhat, but 34 hp is really low, you'd be out of wildshape in a single round, meaning this combo cant be used often at all. True, you{re still mostly a wizard, but you{re sacrificing 2 levels for this trick, that may or may not pay out.

For this reason, Mirror Image should be cast before every combat if possible. Honestly, it's not a bad Contingency target either. Alternatively Glyph of Warding Dwarf gives the Armor of Agathys spell to bolster our hp. (RAW this probably has to be contingency? Not 100% if you can cast it pre-wildshape and have it carry over. Either way a good option tho)

I LOVE this build. The flavor and background storyline are wide and varied. Having wild shape and wizard spells and zeroing out an enemy with grapple WHILE dumping out top tier damage? Bravo sir..

A fun thing I've seen for some people homebrewing that grappling makes the enemy occupy the same square is that they can have an infinite amount of creatures on the same square as long as you continuously grapple a creature that already has another grappled.

Normally when i play a moon druid i take the telepathic feat (the first time up until level 8 i had a patchwork quilt with things I could point to on it while in animal form "trap floor" "short rest later fight now" etc etc) I think for this though if you cant giff then the telekinetic feat would be really good lettinf you do some 5ft push/pull with your bonus action and spell DC each turn. There's also an argument that if theres no verbal or somatic components there'd be nothing stopping your bear form summoning a mage hand which could write messages in the sand or something

Hooray! New video! In love with the name :)

Just watching another d4 video, the bear necessities

Moon Druid 2/Wizard X has always been overlooked as a fantastic build. Lots of ways to do it. With the focus on Cloud of Daggers and Extra Attack with claws, I’d definitely take the Slasher feat on this particular one.

Was so stoked for what it was gonna be based off the short. Even more excited to see "Moon Singer" which is great fun. Good stuff as always. I love your friendly enthusiasm, even this many videos in. I'm gonna keep up with them all, too good to miss any. Had the Moon Singer realisation back in Feb 22. So excited to see someone do something with it. But thought you might enjoy my original concept for the build. Was more for flavour and fun rather than effect. Kalastar 5 bear barbarian 1 monk 2 blade-singer wizard 2 moon druid A turn into a Ape raging Resistant to all damage with a rapier add dex + Int + wis or con to ac +20ft movement

11:47 you can simply choose proficiency in Athletics no matter whtat background. See the "Customizing your Background" section in the PHB, which is often overlooked but NOT otptional.

I would like to see if most DMs consider the "Multiattack" action that monsters have as the same as a PC taking the "Attack" action with Extra Attack. Grappling requires you to take the Attack action and replace an attack with a grapple, so it is technically not the same as taking the multiattack action that monsters get. That being said, if I was the DM, as long as the attack could reasonably grapple the target I'd allow it.

18:37 Challenge accepted. I've always been a freak. Even among a Circle of animagi, an Awakened hippo that walks upright is shunned as a failed experiment. They could not kick me out or kill me because I was the "beloved child" of the leader of the Circle, the one who Awakened me, but the rest of the Circle never let me forget that I was not welcome. So when she fell in battle, I ran before they could make good on their many threats of what they would do when I was no longer under her protection. I ran and ran and ran. And when I could run no more, I collapsed in an open field under a full moon. I thought I must be hallucinating then because I saw two eleven maidens approaching me: one with skin like alabaster and hair of raven black, the other with skin like purple coal and hair of silver; one clothed, the other not; one laughing as she wept, the other crying as she smiled. They sang and danced over me and I felt strength fill to my body. I remember none of their words and sing them to this day. I remember none of the steps and I dance them each night. Just as I did that morning when I rose to sing and dance for she who calls all to sing and she who leads all life in dance. -The testimony of Grin the Singer Obviously, if the setting you're bringing this character to doesn't have Selune and/or Eilistraee, talk with your DM about an appropriate replacement. Not quite a hippo hippy from space but this is what I would use for my backstory if I was going to play this. That said, there would probably be a twist at some point later in the campaign (possibly the end of the story but maybe before) where he finds out that he's not actually an awakened hippo but was found by his adopted mother in a crater in what she thought was an asteroid when his biological parents show up in their spelljammer looking for him.

You should also be rest casting mage armour which will carry through just like enlarge/reduce would, so you will have a base AC of 17 in Bear form while blade singing.

Stop it Colby, the moment I accept that I can't possibly have enough games to play the characters I want to play you come and give me ideas! There goes my afternoon xD

Exactly what I'm looking for.. this Video could not have come out at a better time.

I will definitely use contingency for Polymorph, just for the memes. Think of the enemy working so hard to knock you out of your bear form and possibly your concentration only for you to insta transform into an Ooazaru from Dragon ball Z Edit: Also I would cough up the gold for simulacrum. What's better than one cloud of dagger casting , tough to hit and surprisingly nimble, shoving and dragging brown bear? two cloud of dagger casting....

‘Swiss army bear’ sounds like a character out of girl genius. I love it.

1:51 Today we are starting our first video of our 3 class series. Let's make sure and watch Kolby

Yeah this is alright, i like my stars druid/diviner wizard combo... astronomy and astrology all in one.

Looks like somebody got a new editing tool they wanted to play with 😏 Quick side note, you can't use Contingency to cast Force Cage or Crown of Stars since they're not 5th level or lower (and doesn't target you). In fact, rules as written, Cloud of Daggers targets a point within 60 feet, and not a creature, so even though you could cast it so it technically affects you and no one else, it's not a spell that can target you, and therefore can't be used with Contingency. Love the build as always, and looking forward to episode 150!

aye - pinned a comment on this one :)

I played a similar grappling moon druid cheese grater. Same race and background, but concentrated on spike growth and took levels in rogue (scout) instead of bladesinger to give extra movement with bonus action and reaction. I used a moorbounder instead of a bear. Any enemy that got grappled was instantly shredded with all that forced movement through the spikes.

yeah that Drakenheim monk was a bit broken but oh so fun!

Yes. And YES?!

I'm starting out with a Dhampir Moon Druid and I was given a Claws of Insignia as a starting magic item (DM is actually going to improve it further as certain milestones, probably tiers, are met; kind of like 4e items.) So this build is looking better and better for me. Grapple, spiderclimb as bear (Dhampir movement) up a wall and hold the enemy in the cloud of daggers. If they get out of the grapple, fall damage. Then at about the 47:30 mark, you mention the same magic item and I was excited. But I remember that I got the idea from your Dhampir video, so of course you'd be thinking about this item.

You are the Johnny of all Johnnys and I am here for it.

These are my two fav classes and subclasses combined

Man, that "All singing, all dancing bear of the world." line GOT ME. That's a fan shout out if I've ever seen one. XD Also, I always love these Grater builds. I don't plan on ever doing ANY of them myself (because 2-3 rounds of setup just feels... meh to me), but it does inform the way I think about damage with allies, and the importance of movement abilities. I'm in a campaign right now playing a control-oriented evocation wizard, and many of my choice spells push and pull enemies as a side affect. Soon, I'll have access to Pulse Wave, my two cleric allies will have access to Spirit Guardians, and my Ranger ally will likely have Spike Growth, and I would never have considered all of those interactions without regularly being reminded of the power of Graters. So the first time these new players see a Pulse Wave through Spike Growth into twin Spirit Guardians (and maybe even a Cloud of Daggers, from my wizard ally), I will think of you.

This is absolutely brilliant, one of your most fun builds yet. It’s effectively weaponizing your *movement* to deal damage, which I’ve never seen before (except in your cheese grater build) Armor of Agathys would be incredible on this build though, and I think I’d take the new Rune Shaper build to get it. You mentioned Fire Shield being great on this character-AofA is even better for damage, it lasts for eight hours, and the temp HP would go a long way to keep you in wild shape (plus hey, they stack)
