Revanent Blade 5e

Which 5e Classes Make the Most of Revanent Blade?

The color code below has been implemented to help you identify, at a glance, how good the Revanent Blade 5e feat is for a specific class/subclass.

• Red: Weak, unlikely to contribute to your build
• Orange: Situationally good, but below average
• Green: A solid choice
• Blue: A great option worth considering
• Sky Blue: One of the best choices for optimization

Seeing as the double-bladed scimitar is a martial weapon, this feat has its effectiveness limited to classes that gain this proficiency. Also, double-bladed scimitars are technically only available in the Eberron setting, so ask your DM if they’ll be included in your campaign before taking this feat.

Artificer: Artificers don't gain anything from this feat.

Barbarian: While this is a solid weapon, you're probably still better off with a heavy weapon + Great Weapon Master.

Bard: Most bards can skip this, but Valor and Swords bards will love access to the best Dexterity-based weapon in the game. Unfortunately, the double-bladed scimitar's bonus action will interfere with your bard's Bardic Inspiration usage.

Cleric: Nothing here for clerics. Even martial clerics would rather have a shield to boost their AC, rather than this two-handed scimitar.

Druid: Nothing here for druids.

Fighter: Awesome option for Dexterity-based fighters as you can use your Fighting Style to pick up Defense, rather than having to take Two-Weapon Fighting.

Monk: Most monks don't get martial weapon proficiencies, but the Way of the Kensei monk could make good use of this weapon and feat combo.

Paladin: Paladins aren't usually one for Dexterity builds, so stick to maxing out your Strength and using heavy weapons.

Ranger: Great option for Dexterity-based rangers. The bonus action attack granted by the double-bladed scimitar will also work very well with your extra damage from hunter's mark.

Rogue: This is an incredible feat for rogues as it allows you to push out max damage with your Attack action while also getting access to a good bonus action attack. This can be helpful for activating Sneak Attack when you miss with your Attack, or just squeezing in some extra damage. Unfortunately, rogues don't normally get access to martial weapon or scimitar proficiencies, so you'll need to take either the Valenar high elf or wood elf race during character creation.

Sorcerer: Nothing here for a sorcerer.

Warlock: Nothing here for a warlock.

Wizard: Most wizards can ignore this feat, but Bladesingers will love the added AC, boost to Dexterity, and offensive capabilities
