You should take a look at the Oath of the Watchers Paladin. They're the Fantasy Men in Black and get some fun abilities like Counterspell, Moonbeam and the ability to give their teammates advantage on Int, Wis and Cha saves.
My only issue with this class, they literally lack any means to travel to or from the feywilds. A once a day solo planeshift or locate nearest portal to the feywilds would have really complimented this class.
It'd be the kinda class that I as DM would give the player either advantage on checks to find/identify a fey crossing, or just know it entirely so that the fey wanderer could find ways to the fey wild that feel more rangery and naturally part of the fey wild than just snapping your fingers and doing a generic planehop
@@CassapphicAgreed, Planeshift wouldn't be nearly as fitting as being able to locate or knowing where the nearest portal to the Feywild. Planeshift is kinda overpowered, with how you can arrive literally anywhere you target in the entire plane.
The UA version actually had this, but it’s honestly not very useful mechanically or for flavor. It was just kinda mid
I usually just agree with the dm that misty step can be done halfway and it allows me to travel between realms once a day, using eladrin, of course
The Fey Wanderer is one of the few characters I actually consider taking Two-Weapon Fighting with. Between Favored Foe and Dreadful Strikes, you're doing an additional 1d4 on both of your attacks right out the gate.
favored foe AND dreadful strikes is only once per turn per target
if you attack two different people (3 with TWF and extra attack) at level 5, you can deal dreadful strikes more than once but favored foe is locked to one character and is once per turn
you could blow through the uses and proc it on every enemy (you can do this with steel wind strike for added 1d6 psychic +1d8 force ontop of the 5d8 force damage) but it is a costly expense
So glad you finally got to cover this one, and enjoyed it.
The Miyazaki influence is definitely what hit me when I read it.
Since you mentioned the wisdom thing, I've got to note one alternate idea to the archery method.
Archery is probably better overall, but if someone is going that WIS as primary stat?
They could also take Druidic Warrior, grab Shillelagh and Magic Stone, and you've got magic bludgeoning damage to go with that nice psychic damage bonus.
Yes, you can throw rocks at a dragon until it dies.
And become a single stat dependant build, tanking, charming and survivalist, have great dc for spells and good attack bonus, can combine a shield and medium armor or even take 1 lv into some cleric calss and get subclass w heavy armor just for the ac, or take some levels into the lost brother of the feywanderer, the astral self monk, now you can unnarmed attack with wisdom, use wisdom for AC and can use wisdom for str checks
Both are fun melee builds and there is a kobold with packtactics getting angrier for that 😂😅
Was I expecting a Sacred Stones reference in my You Might Be In DnD video? no. Am I here for it? Absolutely yes!
Round 4; Scribes Wizard ('realistically' spell books would be a regular wizards great vulnerability).
And the Whispers Bard, a scary class.
If multiclassing with a Warlock ... really scary.
My longest running character is a 14th level Tabaxi Fey Wanderer, it's a fun skirmisher with boots of speed, cloak of Displacement and a belt of hill giant's strength. How she became one?
She ate a butterfly. That was also a fey prince. Look I don't make the rules, I gave the eat a butterfly idea and the DM sprinted with it.
My party's full of dex gremlins so sadly not the best dps or anything but she's the closest to a sane and cool headed leader the party has when you have an almost murderhobo echo knight fighter with a 3e level AC, a red dragon sorlock teenager level elf who's actually insane, a 17 year old Tiefling life cleric who's gotten worldweary way too early and an elf Mercy Monk with a +15 to hit.
Yeah this game is something alright and tbh we're all here for it.
Definitely my favorite ranger with swarm keeper taking a close second.
ITS FINALLY TIME BOYS WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR WEEKS WERE FINALLY GETTING OUT OF THE FEYWILDS WITH THIS ONE
Love this subclass, it'd be great to see the swarm keeper in round 4 too! Another wizard like scribe, abjuration, graviturgy or chronurgy would be fun too.
Tireless shaking off of exhaustion would be nice IRL, but being able to Trance would be life changing. Only needing 4 hours rest a day, and it being meditation instead of sleep!
Is there insomnia for meditation?
Having no attention span.
Try mixing in Alchemist Artificer so you can finish a whole class!
I LOVE the Fey Wanderer! It's one of my favorite subclasses. However I will say, my only complaint about the class is the "crazy fey magic" not being crazy enough. It's a complete, utter, absolute missed opportunity to incorporate Wild Magic. Especially when you consider how it doesn't have to be exactly like the Wild Magic Sorcerer - not like they haven't retooled it for other classes like the Wild Magic Barbarian before. I NEED a Fey Wanderer that has its own form of Wild Magic... maybe as an optional feature?
Beguiling Twist is even better. The effect activates whenever a CREATURE within 120ft succeeds on a saving throw. So even if an enemy succeeds his first saving throw against one of these effects, the Fey Wanderer can just take that effect and throw it on another enemy.
And while the Ranger spelllist isn't the best to get a frightend condition on the field, there is some neat synergie with the Conquest Paladin.
Fey Wanderers get Charm Person at third level, which is a great way to get Beguiling Twist going without any outside help:
Cast Charm Person in combat. The charmed condition during combat isn't the strongest and the target has advantage on the saving throw - because you're fighting them - so is likely to succeed. However, that's exactly what we want. After the initial target passes their save, we use Beguiling Twist to attempt to frighten another target.
I often see online discussions of Beguiling Twist overlook that Fey Wanderers can get a charmed->frightened chain going on their own without needing to to rely on other party members to do a frightened->frightened chain.
Oh, definitly. You can get the chain going all by yourself. I mostly pointed out the synergie with the conquest paladin because that class really wants enemies to have that condition while also empowering the effect.
A multiclass with undead warlock has great synergies as well, with the fearing affects and also with CHR investment for higher face skills since you add your WIS mod in addition to CHR mod and proficiency to those skills.
A curiouser hunter.
I’ve been waiting on this one😂😂😂. This is probably one of my favorite ranger sub classes.
been waiting for this one🙏
One of my favorite subclasses in the game. Thank you for doing this one.
MAYBE OATH OF THE ANCIENTS NEXT???
Give me all the nature/fey love, lol.
So glad I found your channel. Really fun way to break down the subclasses.
Voted for this everytime
Gives me a fresh perspective on this class. Thank you.
One of my favorite ever characters I've ever played was a Firbolg Fey Wanderer Ranger. He was a big Wise fella that was just a lovable guy. He also was Wisdom instead of Dexterity focused as Tashas just dropped so Druidic Was now a cannon Fighting style. Sheleighlah and Magic Stone were his go-to cantrips.
For those who are wondering
Level 1 stats
17 wis
15 Con
13 Dexterity
12 Charisma
10 strength
8 intelegence
I took resillient con, bumped both my wisdom and dexterity, then my wisdom up to 20 by 12th level. All the while hitting things with sticks and stones. I hear allegedly, it breaks bones, Yet Words can compell people to do things.
On the topic, Archfey Warlock
Well now I need to look closer at this one! Thanks!
man i was waiting for this for awhile
I am a big fan of your video but I just realized how much work it must take to put in all those clips and pictures. Its worth the time though, it makes the videos much more enjoyable 💪💪💪.
I love these videos so much, highlight of my week :)
Can't wait for Beastmaster. I can tell I will be equally offended and dying from laughter😂
It's not even close to the worst one. Horizon Walker and Monster Slayer are the worst Rangers, and the Beast Master can ride his flying companion
Tasha's variant kinda saves the subclass and makes it waayyyy better than the dredges of waste like hunter.
I'd argue it's been good throughout, and Tasha's adds utility if you don't want damage.
But even at early levels, a Giant Poisonous Snake deals an average of 20 damage per hit on a failed save, or 12 on a success, we can average it to 16. Which other Ranger subclass can deal 16 damage in one hit at level 3? Then you have flying companions, or a spider that can le you spiderclimb by riding it, a pteranodon that lets you fly with 0 opportunity attacks against you, the list goes on. People call PHB BM bad because they never read the Monster Manual, or rules for Mounted combat, rules for Barding, etc.@@Cassapphic
That was fun. Thank you. 😃
I played one and took the druid cantrip fighting style for shillelagh and just pumped wisdom. He fought with a wooden training sword and fucked people up, it was dope
Would love to see the Oath of the Ancients Paladin! Great videos, I absolutely love these
Can wait for the Archfey warlock
I kinda hope we wait on that until after onednd because the playtest version of that class seems way more fun.
My fav ranger, is a single stat dependant, you can multiclass cleric for spells and heavy armor or monk astralself for nice bonus actions, with shillelag as a cantrip you are actually one stat dependant
My favourite ranger and a characteristically excellent video.
Now. Could you tell us what you know about the fathomless warlock? It's so thematic and the battlefield control is so cool.
Yes! Finally!!
second to favorite subclass of favorite class
My votes for what subclasses i would like to see in round 4. In order of favorite class.
Wildfire Druid - need to see you rage at more druid things hehe
Beast Barbarian - i would like to rage with more teeth please
Oathbreaker Paladin - to keep the evil theme coming
Great Old One Warlock - cause Cthulhu must be pleased
Makes me think I should give this subclass a shot!
As for what next, I remain stalwart in my support for the Banneret Fighter subclass! No one else will try to defend those bland boys, I might as well.
On of my Fav Sub for "Sword N board!" if you can Snag Shillelagh or Dueling FS. You can be a High Efficient Minion controller with you roll PAM + Shillelagh + Dreadful Strikes because it can trigger up to 3 times if you hit diferente targets each strike!
11:24 "that you sometimes forget that it's rude to disappear in the middle of a boring - "
wait are the fey just the Irish?
Kinda
All these subclasses make me wanna play DnD so bad lol. I've got to find a group to play with one of these days
I might I want to be a film Wonder for my next character sounds pretty funny
Man, I remember 3.5e, when animal companion was something every Ranger just got for free and it was considered OP. How the mighty have fallen.
(Honestly, it was more OP for druids, who also always had an animal companion, and a better one than a ranger!)
Rangers animal companions were -4 their level in 3.5 and Druids was equal if I am remembering correctly. I took the alternative choice from PHB 2 in 3.5 for my ranger. I didn't want the book work.
Scout Rouge next?
Yes, try mixing that with monk, way of mercy
Patiently waiting for College of Eloquence Bard
Would love to see you cover the Mastermind Rogue. In combat... suboptimal at best. However, quite possibly the best RP subclass in the game! (in my humble opinion)
Circle of Wildfire Druid please. Such a fun and interesting idea of both destruction and support as a Druid.
Hahahahah it finally got its video after being in the reject pile in all the votes
round 4: the bard of your nightmare, the whisper college
One of my players is a Fey Wanderer/ Druid multiclass and its so much fun trying to get her and the party into Feywild shenanigans. One player fell for the "can you hold this for me" and now is permanently stuck with a flower crown she cant let go of
I’m hoping we get horizon walker soon, I’ve been really enjoying it in my current campaign.
would love to see rune knight next round
I would love to see a video on the Horizon Walker Ranger a very cool Ranger subclass that is basically Guardian of the Multiverse and it gets a lot of abilities and spells to help with that including their signature ability they get at Lv. 3 Planar Warrior which according to the lore allows them to augment their weapon attacks with the power of the Multiverse itself gameplay wise it allows you to add an additional D8 of Force Damage every time you land a hit, with the number of D8 you add to the additional Force Damage going up to 2D8 at level 11.
You should do tempest cleric, stormy boys and dish out tons of lighting or thunder damage
I'd like to see the Oath of the Ancients paladin, it's my favourite subclass in the game.
You should do a samurai fighter
Finally!
I have a fey wanderer/Archery warlock build I wanna play. They unknowingly at first guard a fey gate, and spent a lot of time swimming in a fey spring, and end up catching the eye of a minor royal/princess of the court. She likes them and they end up making a pact. It's a fey wanderer 17/warlock 3 build taking pact of the chain. So he constantly has a fairy companion watching over him.
It finally happened
Based YMBA playing peak Fire Emblem on his spare time ❤
Also because of the fey theme maybe college of glamour I just want to know what the majesty looks like
We did it boys they’re finally known
This is super cool but am I the only one who thought I was voting for the fey pact Warlock
00:00 - 00:05
... So just the baba yaga
I made a Harengon, Fey Wanderer (Ranger) based off the jackalope.
Nice
This is a surprisingly fun class. Which makes Beast Master look all the worse.
I mean the hunter subclass makes the default beast master terrible
Still looking for that Horizon Walker Ranger
Lv. 11 gives us access to "fey reinforcements" - gotta call it now: missed opportunity to call that feature "rein-Fey-rcements".
Gotta keep watching now.
(Also, PLS do Horizon walker 🥺)
Willy Wonka is absolutely a fey... How did I not realize this?
Fey Warlock with a bit of Bard
So _Buckets the Drummer_ came from the Fey Wild?
That actually makes sense.....
Finally! The true dragon seducer! (cany can give you persuasion expertise)
SWARMKEEPER PLEASE
Scout Rogue please
Barbarian Muscle wizard!!!!
Swarmkeeper please
Maybe kensei monk next?
I wonder what you have to say about beast master ranger
Pick up druidic warrior to get shillelagh and max out your wisdom and we're gaming
Oathbreaker Paladin pls
Do redemption paladin
shadow monk!!!!
My guy, what timezone are you in? Seriously, the upload schedule is wild😂
Time is made up... and also I was late lol
True story: I soloed the entire Wild Beyond the Witchlight adventure by playing a forest gnome fey wandering Ranger.
Still wish they'd bring back doom bots for Halloween again
do arcane archer
Order of scribes wizard por favor?
Fathomless round 4?
Storm sorcerer?
Foe slayer, thou, if you have shillelagh it goes to waste since you already are attacking with wisdom and cant add twice the same bonus (raw)
Fow slayer should be that you can autocrit once per turn on a hit a number of times equal prof bonus or wisdom mod per long rest, now THAT is a foe slayer, not a +5 that i cant add since im already adding
Than figuring out how to combine ranger and paladin becomes interesting.
@@woutvanostaden1299 that combination have too much ability score cost to be balanced or usable unless you rolled 15 or higher on everything (can dump int)
Ah yes
The ultimate Charisma Support Wisdom Class
Honestly need more Subclasses that can use their Main stat as another stat
Like idk, a Monk that can use Dex as Strength but heavily need to use Weapons
Or Inteligence Wizard as Wisdom to reveal certain things
P.S Horizon Walker and Monster Slayer are worse than Beast Master, garbage Subclasses period
I'm going to be playing a fey wanderer in the next campaign our group is going to be playing (wild beyond the witchlight, there's very few that fit better) after the current RotFM campaign I'm DMing is over. They have a simple premise, what happens to the firstborn child that parents trade away to the fey? So their formative years were spent with some hag/other fey (leaving that up to the dm so he can tie me into the main plot) but being rescued and taken in by a nameless ranger conclave or pre-established faerun organisation, like the harpers or emerald enclave. But with the guarantee of a lot of fey and because I like my concentration, I will be taking favored enemy (fey, later monstrosity) over favored foe, which also means together with half elf, deft explorer and a background that gives some, my character will be an absolute polyglot. Now to just find out what niche languages could be fun for the campaign, a concern that has only been born due to me DMing RotFM and NONE of the players picking up dwarvish, giant or draconic
Why're *ALL* of these videos so good? Lol
