Now things are starting to happen for us. This will prove beneficial as a way to heal ourselves in the thick of combat We get our Second Wind ability from the Fighter class. Rounding out the cantrips are Message and Mending for utility, non-combat options.

I really recommend watching the 5E Battle Mage Build video for more information on how to use the Booming Blade cantrip. Booming Blade is going to be a powerhouse and will be our primary form of attack until we reach level 5 in fighter and get the extra attack ability. So, Chill Touch seems really good for this. We definitely want a ranged attack so we don’t need to rely on our less than desirable dexterity score for a crossbow. A fantastic spell to lessen the burn of a wizard’s Fireball or other arcane element spells. Shield: use our reaction to gain +5 to our AC until our next turnĪbsorb Elements: use our reaction to gain resistance to an energy damage type (acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder) until our next turn. With regards to spells, I feel that reaction spells are the bread and butter of a battle mage, so the easy choices are:
With this ability our character has a chance of dropping to 1 hp instead of 0, should they find themselves on the losing end of combat. The other Shadow Sorcerer ability is Rise of the Grave.
Now, that is a ways off at the current time, but will be tactically efficient as I will explain later. With Eyes of the Dark not only does our halfling get 120′ Darkvision, but we also get the Darkness spell when we reach 3rd level in this subclass. While plenty of solid options with regards to Sorcerer Origins are concerned, the main two selling points, in my opinion, for Shadow Magic is the abilities you receive at first level. Speaking of skills, we will be selecting the following: Since we will be wearing heavy armor for most of our adventuring career, stealth checks will be made at disadvantage so every little bit helps. We have also elected for the 12 in dexterity to help give a slight bonus to initiative and to help with our Stealth. Since we will be in the thick of melee, Constitution is our next most important score and finally, we need at least a 13 Charisma in order to multiclass into Sorcerer. Strength will be our prime requisite as we look to capitalize on our to hit and damage bonuses in combat. If we use the Standard Array, we can allocate our ability scores as follows: In this case, we will strategically place them so that our Strength and Constitution to be 16. Using the Customizing your Origin – Ability Scores rules from Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, we are able to place the Halfling’s +2 and +1 modifier wherever we see fit. For this build we will be playing as a Stout Halfling.
While I provide a written layout here, I highly suggest watching the detailed video on the Battle Mage character for optimal information: D&D 5E Battle Mage Character Build – Fighter/SorcererĮasy enough, on this level we begin our adventuring career. Along the way, we will discuss the spells, skills and abilities selected with this build along with the Battle Master Fighter and Shadow Magic Sorcerer subclasses and a recommended path for leveling up. In this #DnD5e character build we will begin at level 1 and advance through every progression until level 12. A melee combat fighter that is able to cast spells to supplement their martial prowess. Today we create a D&D Battle Mage or Gish character.
