Here are some of D&D's most OP class builds.
BY: Lee E.
1) BarBEARian
Build Power Rating: 99/100
Bruce Banner eat your heart out!
Barbarians are awesome. Bears are scary. So what if you could be both? What if you could just… not be killed?
How to build it:
- Start with Druid, and I recommend the lesser known Ghostwise Halfling simply because telepathy is going to be really helpful in Wild Shape.
- Choose Circle of the Moon at second level.
- Switch over to Barbarian at level 3 and choose Totem of the Bear which gives you resistance to all damage other than psychic while Raging.
The result:
- Now you’re a Raging, telepathic bear with Unarmored Defense that’s immune to all damage other than psychic.
- Even if you somehow get dropped to zero HP, you’re then a Barbarian with full HP that can just Wild Shape back into a bear and do it all over again.
- In other words, you’re basically unkillable.
The best offense is always a good defense. So how about a defense that’s simply unstoppable? The BarBEARian combines two of my personal favorite classes and brings out the best in both. Not to mention, packing all that punch into a little halfling is just really fun to imagine.

Correction, you need the Dual Wielder feat so you can have 2 longswords for the damage. Otherwise, the offhand weapon needs to be a light weapon like a rapier which is only 1d6 dmg. The Two-Weapon fighting style is what lets you add your modifier to offhand attacks.

Yeah, the master assassin is way wrong. As someone else said before, you need to be at least lvl 3 Warlock to get invisibility. You don't need the Cleric level if you have Two Weapon fighting. Then the dice are twice what they should be. You get 2 swings per attack. And you get 1 attack, one bonus action, and one action surge. So that's 6 swings plus 2d6 sneak attack. Still a lot of damage, but half what is posted there. 6d8 + 8d6 + 24. and for that you have to have the Dual Wielder feat so that your proficiency bonus can be added to your off hand attacks. Otherwise, it's just 1d8 dmg for offhand swings, and 1d8+4 for main hand.

How did you come up with all the die damage

A level 1 custom lineage ranger could have a wisdom of 18 and the observant feat and expertise in perception could have a passive perception of 10+4+5(observant)+2+2 for a 23 passive at level 1

Number 2 is no longer viable? Invisibility is a second level spell.

Scratch that. I see that Circle of the Moon ups it to CR 1

It's an interesting idea, but a 2nd level can't wildshape into a bear. Rule states "At 2nd level, for example, you can transform into any beast that has a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower that doesn’t have a flying or swimming speed." Well, a bear is 1/2.

Looks like I messed up on the bear because of Circle of the moon, sorry about that. I still don't see how one can get invisibility at warlock or cleric lvl 12 though

Two things right away; The faceless man will need 3 levels of warlock to get invisibility, which is a 2nd level spell, and the barBearian needs 8 levels of druid to wildshape into a brown bear (4 for black bear).

So with the sniper do you multi class at level 6 so you get the extra attack from being a 5th level ranger?

Couple of things with the BarBearian... you mention reverting to "full HP" if you're taken down in Bear form - that's not entirely true. Any excess damage you take carries over, so in the RAW example if you're in bear form with 1 HP and take 10 damage, you revert back and take 9 damage. Also, you're not "immune to all damage other than psychic, you have *resistance* which gives you half damage, not full immunity :)

Agreed. I just don't see how the math adds up. With your Alpha Strike you've got 2d8+4 the Rapier Crit 2d6 for the Hex 4d6 for the Sneak Attack (You can only Sneak attack once per turn.) Surge Attack: 2d8+4 Rapier X2 2d6 Hex X2 Second Attack: 2d8+4 Rapier 2d6 Hex Bonus Attack: (You can only take *one* Bonus Action per turn.) 2d8+4 Rapier 2d6 Hex So the total is 10d8+24 + 14d6 unless I've missed some math there. The War Priest feature really doesn't help, as you're already using the bonus action for your off-hand attack with your 2nd Rapier, but going in with Divine Favor pre-cast definitely boosts your damage (by 5d4), and for your Fighter Archetype (which is never covered), none of them really boost your damage here except the UA class, Psychic Warrior, and even then it's only another 1d4.

For the "The Faceless Man A.K.A. A Girl Has No Name A.K.A. Master Assassin" how did you calculate the max damage he could do at the end?
