unusual PCs

[Quietus]

I've seen the aforementioned dex cleric - wood elf arcana cleric, made for an extremely aggressive damage build. Rapier scagtrips, with shillelagh for the long game. War caster. All the cleric goodies. She was our dps.

In the same game, I played a control barbarian. Dragonborn ancestral guardian, with dragon roar for fear aoe on a short rest, and skill expert : athletics. Played as sword and board. Ran into the thick of things, shaped the battlefield/took advantage of spirit guardians, used fear to hold back mobs.

:edit: Forgot to add, his dragon fear was flavored not as a roar, but as blowing his breath weapon through his bagpipes, like something out of mad max.
