D&D 5E - Oathbreaker Pally, Death Cleric, and Necro wizard in the same party......?

Publish date: 2024-04-29
There's actually not a lot of overlap between the three. Necromancer raises an undead army of doom, whereas the Death Cleric tends to focus on being more of a necrotic blaster / stabber and the Oathbreaker is good at doing fear effects. Sure, all three have animate dead, but really? Only the necromancer is good at it. The other two have other areas of specialty. Heck, the pally can't even have undead without someone else's help for two more levels. Meanwhile, there's a lot of synergy, especially when the Death Cleric starts summoning fiends to the table as well.

Honestly, the biggest problem I see here is that there's no scout class here. Rogue, ranger, some bards, shadow monk, even a tweaked warlock or dex-fighter have abilities that would work well. As it is? Not a lot of ability in that area, which leaves you facing some potentially difficult checks. Your best option is to try and have the Death Cleric slip into that role. Use some guidance, maybe some other magic to work a bit of an advantage. You're going to want to be Dex Wis anyways with the Death Cleric, and the lack of armor implies either ranged unit, or going for more of an assassin-y vibe. Possibly both, considering the paladin and undead will be your front lines.
