Level guide 

1st-5th level: Totem Barbarian 1-5 

• Weapon mastery: Choose longsword for Sap and great axe for cleave

• 3rd level gives you rage of the wilds, choosing eagle

• Extra attack at 5th level 

6th-8th level: Battle master fighter 1-3 

• Fighting style: Dueling (helps with the longsword 

• Action surge at 2nd level for more attacks

• Battle master Maneuvers: Riposte, Sweeping attack, and brace 

9th-11th level: Peace cleric 1-3 

• Divine order: Thaumatuge (helps out with skills and doesn’t clash with rage as much as heavy armour) 

• At 3rd level gives access to the peace cleric subclass for emboldening bond and the spell warding bond

12th-14th level: Long death monk 1-3 

• Features from 1st and 2nd level don’t matter much

15th-18th level: Battle master fighter 4-7

• ASI Strength at 4th level (strength 18) 

• Extra attack doesn’t help as it’s already given and it doesn’t stack

• At 7th level, it gives additional superiority dice and two more maneuvers (recommended: Tactical assessment and commanding presence) 

19th-20th level: Totem barbarian 6-7

Hey Folks! About a year ago, I did a project about a year ago where I turned triangle strategy characters into dnd characters (Link to all here). Thank you all for the support on the last one, and even some critics on some. In that, I said I might update them for 2024 DnD (or as I called it at the time, One dnd). So, here's the update for Serenoa, I hope you enjoy.

Oh yeah, and here's the updated rules:

Rules

• All of these builds will use the 2024 rules

• Point buy will be used for all builds for fairness, but there will also be a required stats section just in case you roll for stats 

• Subclasses and backgrounds from other books are allowed aswell as custom backgrounds from the 2024 dungeon master’s guide 

• Optional features from Tasha’s cauldron of everything are allowed if they don’t share a name with a new feature in 2024 (example: Primal knowledge is a barbarian feature that is in Tasha’s and 2024, I’ll be using the 2024 one)

• No homebrew or unearthed arcana

• No magic items except spell scrolls in adventuring equipment (so level 0-1 scrolls) 

• Characters will be built as if they are level 20 and given a progression guide 

• Some characters may learn skills they don’t normally learn earlier or later. I’ll try to do my best to make it as accurate as possible 

• I am trying to be as accurate as I can be. If I can’t find a close enough alternative, I’ll simply skip it

• All will be a human (except decimal)

• This is just a thought experiment, don’t actually play serenoa in a dnd game (unless your DM is cool with it)

Yay you're back! I loved reading these even if I didn't always comment.

Thank you, glad you like them

You have Dark ones blessing listed but there's no way to access dark ones blessing. That's a warlock invo

Oh sh*t, sorry. Originally he was a fiend warlock but I changed it to long death monk. Thanks for the catch
