This page serves as a table of contents to access many of B.F. Griffith’s relatively powerfully “optimized” (as well as hopefully thematically interesting and distinctive) personal favorite 5ₑ D&D character-builds.
Some are builds he has personally playtested, while others are merely theorycrafted in the hope that he may one day have the opportunity to experience them in action.
All could, of course, also optionally be used as élite NPCs or adversaries with as much mechanical simplification (or further customization) as desired compared to rigorously following a fully detailed “by the book” player-character progression of advancement (which traditionally isn’t deemed necessary for most monsters or NPCs).
