Several years ago, ya'll helped me find, understand, and have a complete blast playing a half-orc Warblade.
He's level 8 (almost 9!! 4 levels in fighter), happily taking over sections of the underdark with his friends, leading a force of 150+ orcs with a mystic blade, having recently 'taken management' of some wizard's epic lava-covered castle.
And THEN....we realized we were spending so long on single turns, that we were practically not playing the game. So we're going to try 5e for it's simplicity.
We've been playing a 5e campaign (an evil one, where I have enjoyed a bit much playing a paranoid Schiz. Tortle with a Lucky Bardiche) for 3 sessions now, so I have SOME idea of how this works.
We've decided to continue with our main story, but to convert characters to 5e (going from lv8 to lv3 where levels 4-8 go twice as fast, just so we have more time to think and not have to make all decisions at once). My request is for general concepts and thoughts on converting an established character's feats/items/combat maneuvers to 5th ed. I don't really even know what to ask - I don't know what I don't know! (note, it's been awhile since we've played, and longer since I've been here - so I may be rusty on acronyms)
IF YOU WANT CHARACTER DETAILS:
Things I've got:
-Enlarge Belt, Healing belt properties (man I love that belt, and that DM let me have it)
-Intelligent sword (I think. We'll let the DM worry about that)
+5 composite bow
+2 spike shield: character is sword and board, dual wielding great sword and shield.
+2 Adamantine breastplate (and a total +18 to craft armor to make it....)
-Ring of protection +2
-Counter strike bracers
-cloak of resistance
-chronocharm of the horizon walker
-translocation anklets
-weapon crystal: Returning
-Homebrewish boots that let me move at speed with medium armor (grants that Dwarven ability)
(we also managed to steal an invisible flying carpet, lol!)
Fighter lv4, Warblade lv4
FEATS:
-Fearless (flaw)
-Powerful Build
-Sword & Board Character Alternate (homebrew, bonus to attack/dmg when S&B)
-Power Attack
-Two Weapon Fighting
-Cleave
-Improved Shield Bash
-Shock Trooper
-Uncanny Dodge (per warblade)
MANEUVERS: (if you know Warblade at all...not sure what to do here...except maybe just take a 5e class and try to make it look similar?)
Charging Minotaur
Mountain Hammer
Moment of Perfect Mind
Emerald Razor
Wall of Blades
White raven Tactics (man, I just got these last 2....love those!)
Iron Heart Surge
STANCES:
Leading the Charge
Absolute Steel
Thunder Bustle (homebrew, specific to S&B)
man, I'm just realizing how much WORK went into this build and learning maneuvers.....now it's all gone...
help me guys! Don't leave me so sad =(.
But seriously - as always, THANK YOU for always being so helpful. I tried thinking of what it would be like to convert and said "I'm going to Giant in the playground right now!!"
