#POLEARM MASTER SPELL SNIPER FULL#

The spirit guardians hit anyone who gets within 15 feet, anyone the cleric moves that circle around him into, and anyone starting a turn in that circle. THEN they have to avoid getting hit when moving in to the cleric who gets to attack them before they get in range to attack (assuming they don’t have halberds). Anyone within 15 feet of the cleric must make that save immediately, take the damage (full or half), those who don’t save have their speed halved. Even successful saves take half that damage. Spirit Guardians does 3d8 damage and scales up. With this feat combo and this spell he will tear up anything a DM can throw at them.

The coup d’etat: A heavy armored cleric with this combo who casts spirit guardians. There’s a reason this is the granddaddy of all the OP feat combos. This on a cleric with a backline bard focusing on battlefield control makes a surprisingly deadly 2-person D&D team. The character with this combo becomes a black hole for enemy movement and extra damage dealt, creating an utter zone of control. I’ve seen rounds where a cleric legally used 8 attacks in turn (5 from movement into range, 1 action, 1 bonus action, 1 reaction). Enemy within reach somehow dodges your first attack but attacks someone by you? Reaction-based opportunity attack.Įvery enemy hit is stuck there in place as the character gets tons of extra attacks every single time they try to move. Trying to move around? Opportunity attack. A hit means zero movement – which means a character with this who hits charging enemies who only have a 5 foot attack range can stop all of them before they get to do anything. Entering within 10 feet? Opportunity attack.

Well this should be obvious at this point, but basically everyone within 10 feet of the cleric is likely screwed. Polearm master allows the character (as long as they were using a glaive, halberd, or quarterstaff) to follow a melee attack with using a bonus action to do a 1d4 attack with the other side of the weapon, and all creatures who enter a 10 foot range provoke an opportunity attack. That’s a deadly feat in and off itself, but it gets even nastier when combined with polearm master.

Sentinel reduces an enemy’s movement to 0 when they get hit with an opportunity attack, forcing them to stay there for a full turn, creatures provoke an opportunity attack even when they take the disengage action, and when the enemy makes an attack at a target other than you, you then get to use a reaction (if you have one) to make a melee attack on them. Especially for clerics with spells like spirit guardians. This was one of the first combos that gained widespread popularity and for the right melee character this is a devastating combo. This is the first one that comes to mind when looking at feat combos that are overpowered, and there’s a really good reason for that.
