D&D 5E 2014 - Solo Builds for the Combat Guide [Infographics]
Infographics of my Optimized Solo Builds for each class by the sequence in the INDEX page poll.
I will update you in the INDEX page as I add new builds.
The methods used to create these builds will be in another thread for members to discuss or learn.
Starting with Chronurgy Wizard that I just synthesized into a blend of min-maxed solo build and a narrative-enabled personality by only using the game mechanics.
I achieved this with a simple framework that's in the slides below. Early concept form of Synthesis Framework.
INDEX of Builds by Class
