The Highland Witch, also known as the witch of the Highlands, is a figure in Scottish folklore and mythology. The term refers to a magical practitioner who is believed to possess supernatural abilities, often associated with dark magic. In Scottish culture, the Highland Witch was considered to be a feared and powerful individual. They were believed to have the ability to cast spells, brew potions, and communicate with spirits. They were also thought to be able to shape-shift into animals and control the weather. The Highland Witch was often viewed with suspicion and fear by the local communities.

He also has studied giants extensively because his hometown was destroyed by giants several years ago. As the PC died and failed to protect his "students" (another PC died too, it was a "half-PK"), he feels guilty and that his hubris caused him to reject the giant's power (the runes). Thus, he will now fight fire with fire so to speak - or use the giants' power against them. Also, he seeks to understand the events better, and the seer powers of the storm giants may be key.

The Highland Witch was often viewed with suspicion and fear by the local communities. They were seen as a threat to the social order and were believed to be responsible for misfortunes such as illness, crop failures, and livestock deaths.

D&D 5E Rune Knights: how do you begin a fight?

Tl, dr: which power should I activate with a bonus action first?

So the Rune Knight has been a well-received subclass for fighters in Tasha's. It's a flavorful - and effective - alternative to the Eldrich Knight for a fighter with some magical powers. Now that the subclass has been out for a while, I imagine a lot of people have actual play experience with it (either as a player or GM).

For reasons that 99% of you won't care about 1 , my level 7 fighter is being reborn at a Rune Knight, and I'm wondering about how to play him best. He's the party tank, a decent damage dealer but very resilient, and uses his reaction to protect other party members (previously as a psi warrior). What you do in your first round of a fight can be pretty important, especially if it's a feature that will last the entire fight. It's a bit of a waste to keep those for the end of the battle, after all.

The Rune Knight has, for better or worse, a plethora of such options, and they almost all take a bonus action to activate, meaning there is a bit of a "traffic jam" to really get going (if it wasn't for this, the RK would frankly be OP). But which one to choose first?

• Hill giant rune, for that sweet sweet resistance to slashing, piercing and bludgeoning damage, significantly boosting my tanking prowess
• Storm giant rune, so I can use my reaction to boost party members by either improving their saves or attacks or by giving disadvantage to enemy attacks/saves. 2
• Giant might to get bigger, do more damage and have advantage on strength saves/checks

2: I will note that there is a bit of an overlap between this ability and both the cloud rune and runic shield, thus perhaps it is less urgent?

Seems pretty situational to me - not a class you can just run the same play every fight.

If you're fighting foes with a lot of energy damage, the Hill Giant Rune is lower priority, for example.

Rune Knight is the only subclass I've played twice.

It really depends on what you're fighting and where you're standing. If you can't get into melee, you're better off popping damage resistance or storm giant trance. If you're facing enemies that will force saves, the trance might take priority. If I'm not worried about getting hit immediately, I usually start with giant's might in order to get my damage buff going in round one.

So my Rune knight has unarmed fighting style and tavern brawler feat. She is actually a human level 1 Rogue, level 3 Rune Knight with a 16 strength and expertise in athletics so I won't really answer your question here as she is not 7th level.

She generally starts combat with a 1d8 unarmed strike. If she hits she follows it with a bonus action grapple attempt.

If she misses with her unarmed strike then she can use her bonus to activate Giant Might, but she only gets 2 uses of that a day so she only does it if it is one of the tougher combats.

If she is going nova she will start with giants might then grapple if successful then she uses action surge and shove prone. Now the enemy is grappled and prone and can't move so he can't stand up. Next turn she pulls out her rapier and sneak attacks with advantage.

She has cloud rune and stone rune so she activates those as reactions at times. Again if she is going Nova she will use the cloud on the BBEGs turn and then follow up with stone when convenient.

As for your question, I think the answer is to NOT take both Hill and Storm Runes, pick one and not the other. My character is a human so holding stone rune and darkvision when she gets to 7th level is a no brainer. If you are the tank I would think hill rune is better.

Despite the fear and mistrust associated with them, the Highland Witch was also often sought out for their supernatural abilities. People would approach them for help with problems ranging from love spells to curses on enemies. It was believed that their magic could bring about desired outcomes or inflict harm on others. In the popular imagination, the Highland Witch is often depicted as an old woman with wild hair, dressed in dark robes, and wearing a pointed hat. This image has been perpetuated through various forms of media, such as literature, art, and film. However, it is essential to note that the portrayal of the Highland Witch is largely rooted in folklore and mythology. There is no historical evidence to suggest that such individuals actually existed or possessed supernatural powers. The belief in witchcraft was prevalent in Scotland during the early modern period, resulting in numerous accusations, trials, and executions of individuals accused of practicing witchcraft. Today, the Highland Witch remains an intriguing figure in Scottish folklore. They continue to capture the imagination and fascination of people interested in the occult and the history of witchcraft..
