More clarification about echo knight in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I can see it now, thank you. Also, just for clarification, with Reclaim Potential, when your echo gets destroyed and you have 1 temp HP, you're out of luck, right? the 2D6+CON won't overwrite this (so you get those instead), right?

More clarification about echo knight (lemm.ee)
 

First off, you have an amazing community here, congratulations. It really touches me to see lemmy getting big enough to be of actual help, rendering that other platform unnecessary. Thanks for your input recently.

I was hoping you could help me clarify some other questions about the echo knight so I don't need to create an account on the Dnd Forums.

  1. The echo can use the first part of the sentinel feat (says the FAQ on the forums) with it's reaction (reduce enemy movement to 0 with an attack of opportunity) - can it also benefit from the Shield Master (receive no damage on an successful dex-save)
  2. can the echo be used for the protection-fighting style (use reaction to impose disadvantage on an attack directed at someone next to you)?
  3. Can the ability to see through your echo avatar be used to create an echo at a spot your echo can see (that is still less than 1000' away from the knight)?

I hope that's all of them... Thank you so much in advance & keep on making social media social again :)

Thanks both of you (I hope @[email protected] sees this answer directed at him, too) . You do seem to have a lot of fun with Prestidigitation^^ We have a kender bard and a highelf mage in the party, both very attuned to mockery, so I believe my GMs sanity might be endangered if the Fighter starts something like that as well^^

I do have an Intelligence of 14 mind you, I'm not dumb, just ugly (CHA 9)^^ I can use the echo as cover, but more cover is always better, right? even more so as it's my duty to protect my spellcasting brother. He's rather feeble but very smart - he can see through the cover that the goblins think is solid.

Something to think about.

Mind Sliver

sounds cool! My GM also gave me your consideration - I don't profit from more attacks, which is true, but! I'm only using a longsword and shield, so I do D8s of damage, which is also how Booming Blade scales, so I'm "only" missing out on the +4 Strength Bonus (currently). Plus I intent to regularly make use of the extra damage Booming Blade gives by disengaging via echo. At least in my mind.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be smarter than what you suggest (I can't - I'm a noob), I just use the opportunity to check wether my plan would work in the first place.

I totally forgot to think about utilities, thanks. also the site is awesome, thanks for that as well. We have a kender bard and a highelf mage in the mix already, so I think they'll be much better at creative magic use and I don't want to "overdo" it (I heard magic in Dragonlance is rather rare). My Inteligence is 14 though, mind you.^^ It's that dangerous middleground where you feel smarter than many (and like to show it), but aren't anywhere near the really smart people. Roleplay potential yay!

I did not think of that, thanks. Prestidigitation sound really fun, but since we have a kender Bard and a Highelf mage in the party already, I believe there will be a great lot of magic shennanigans going on without me chipping in.

I’ve recently jumped into a game of Dragonlance despite the fact that all I know of D&D stems from Solasta & the old Neverwinter Nights games. I came to play an Elf Fighter that I want to subclass to Echo Knight. The GM was so friendly to let me rethink my choice of cantrip, which I humbly seek to be advised on. My current favourite is Booming Blade, which I find mixes well with the ability to move out of the current melee by switching with the echo. It also scales in damage the same way I’d receive extra attacks, so I won’t be missing out on much damage in my view. What would you choose, and why?
