#number crunchy munchy metagaming

[thrilling-fantasm]

guesses for DnDads S2 builds (based on the patreon art)

[Unnamed Beth May character]: knowing beth does not love crunchy number d&d, probably a fighter? though a rogue redux would be great. cannot imagine her finding any joy in being a caster class, i would love that character growth but I think that the second beth has to say "and i'm casting magic missle at the second level, using my last spell slot" she would die a little inside. At the same time, Death Cleric would be metal.

Taylor (i'm assuming his last name is Swift): so many great ideas here: i'm leaning towards demonic bloodline sorcerer, CHA builds seems like freddie's playstyle, its a little crunchy with the sorcery points but who knows if they'll actually follow those (or maybe freddie's moved over to dndbeyond for ease of keeping track. OPTION THE SECOND: Warlock with Well Actually as his patron because seeing anthony and freddie do a warlock/patron relationship would be great.

Link: Monk? I think Matt would be a great utility player and the team probably needs some healing balance. Also fits with the sports vibe i'm getting.

Normal: god, I don't even know. you don't name a kid Normal and have their dad/uncle start the apocalypse without some serious issues he'll have to work through (as is Oak Family Tradition?) How great would he be as an Abberant Mind sorcerer like Imogene though, like he's just Very Eldritch but he's trying to be a real team player!! Knowing that Will bit the bullet before to pick druid just so party comp wasnt a total mess, I'm thinking he's less inclined to pick a healer class again. a Wizard in this setting is frankly DANGEROUS if anthony isnt making them do a resource grind, and i would dig it! Barbarian fits with the sportsaholic archetype, there's path of the zealot or berserker if he wanted to bring those "cursed by the gods"/"mindless frenzy" vibes that could switch in and out. But casting spells is probably the most fun plot twisty tool Will has used, so Paladin? EDIT: Oh wild magic sorcerer tho... EDIT THE SECOND: Discord suggested artificer and I'm a big fan, very number crunchy and versatile, lots of opportunities to be creative and a pain in Anthony's ass (I say as an artificer player)
