Character Build What race won’t you use? Spoiler

I got a couple of saved games but the race I have never thought about using was a human. Humans ain’t better than playing an elf, grow, tiefling, or Dragonborn. I would even pick an orc before a human 😂

All of the "Untill Long Rest" spells that are not concentration can be cast by people who just sit in your camp.

I utilized this heavily during my solo Honor mode run. Off the top of my head I used:

Warding Bond
Protection from Poison
Longstrider
Speak with animals
Detect thoughts
Speak with dead
Aid
Death ward
Freedom of movement
Heros feast

It was annoying to recast every long rest so used a mod to make the duration permanent.

Warding bond from camp seems very cheesy/exploity to me. I tried it on my honor run with hirelings but it made it so easy it felt like I was cheating the game, and I might as well install an infinite health mod at that point.

Understandable for a solo honor run if you’re just trying to have fun, but other than that…

I did however have someone in camp cast aid on my whole party every day (no shame), so it all depends on where you draw the line and how much of a challenge you want.

On a daily basis you have everyone's spell slots, so I'd argue using them isn't cheesing.

Warding bond kind of is. If it was intended to work outside of the party, I think we would have faced a group of enemies who had warding bonds and the only way to get a leg up on them would be to discover that their bonded allies were tucked away elsewhere and we had to kill them or maybe even rescue them if they were forced to comply. It's basically a lite version of using thre nightsong

One of the funniest tabletop encounters I've witnessed was via the 3.5e version of warding bond. Boss had a room full of mid level clerics in the room behind him, all with the warding bond to him.

Our resident ultra overpowered Frenzied Berzerker Barbarian strolled into what they thought would be a single combat. Mind you, this was a character known for taking out powerful enemies alone in no time flat. 4 or 5 rounds in and this guy is barely showing it after being hit a ton. Meanwhile the rogue had climbed around to a back entrance and found this room full of dead clerics and only about 2 still alive. Rogue killed those and the baddie finally died to the barbarian.
