This is my first dual wielder in 5e so forgive the lack of knowledge here. However, if booming blade uses your standard action (as would lightning lure I believe), which part of that prevents you from using your bonus action for the off hand attack?

You'll have to forgive me it's late and my brain just went blank when you said "without the fs"? It's not so much that I'm set on rogue/fighter it just happens to be what the character already was when our tank had to leave the party for rl reasons. Currently sitting at Rogue(Swashbuckler)...

Pretty much this, but it's even more in favor of uncanny dodge than what bid mentioned. As a Rogue(Swashbuckler)/Fighter I almost always top the initiative list. Going battlemaster puts me into a guessing game every round where I have to weigh the risk of using a maneuver offensively, even a...

It's entirely possible that it is, but if you read the OP then you'd know this character is already level 6, so that ship has sailed. Initially that decision was made because #1 I wanted to start as a rogue, and #2 I wanted to rush Crossbow Expert for his play style before the tank had to drop...

I honestly had not even considered mariner style. I need to go take a closer look at it as I've only glanced over it before. Reliable talent could still be acquired obviously. I was mainly thinking fighter 11/rogue 9 to get that 2nd extra attack from fighter levels. I need to weight the...

I'm actually a Dark Elf. The Dex/Cha worked really well for the swashbuckler and so far there's been a lot of subterranean excursions be it crypt/caverns or what not. So the sunlight hasn't been an issue... yet. The tempest cleric is also pretty reliable at providing cloud cover when necessary...

Hello, all. Recent reader/forum lurker and first time poster. I've recently run into a bit of a road bump in the campaign I'm playing in and was hoping for a little help making the best out of a less than ideal situation. I'm currently running a Rogue(swashbuckler) 4/Fighter 2, although after...
