The problem is that, as you level, you relatively quickly reach the point where you always have a better spell to cast, even if its from a scroll or wand. The main advantage of an artificer is having a bunch of low level spells via magic item generation. Its relatively easy to make an Uncommon...

No, the main problem with Cartographer is the reliance on Faerie Fire, a Concentration spell that doesn't level great. Very few people want to still be using it, or spamming Guiding Bolt, when your character is level 6-8. Cartographer is a great subclass at level 3 and 4. The problem is that it...

Teneborous actually has some pretty cool lore behind it. Keeps showing up in different places too. Huh. Missed that bit. Or forgot. So both escaped in different ways, I guess. Well, if the eternal war with vecna was what caused the binding in the first place, then losing the ability to attack...

So, here's the thing about 3e's Vestiges. They basically didn't exist. It's not that they were dead, its that they somehow slipped out of reality and into a weird limbo-non-state. For example, one of them was based on buddhist monk that managed to escape the cycle of life and death... but made...

nvm

You asked for concerns / thoughts on your build. So that's what I'm doing. Your feat slot in this build is going towards something else, so setting aside Eldritch Mind might be something you want to consider if you do want Concentration spells. You wanna ignore the thoughts, fine, dandy. But...

Okay, you know what? Lets do that. Ignore the stuff about single class paladin, and lets start fresh. True Strike builds are often quoted as being frustrating. Until you get that paladin 3 level at character 9, you have a good chance of missing, and lots of people have said that they find it...

Prayer of healing isn't available until Paladin 5. Which your build hasn't even touched - you've only suggested Paladin 4/Warlock 7+. Assuming multiple short rests is something that's generally not played out favorably at most tables. Just as often, there were NO short rests. In fact, this was...

Nitpick - its Warlock 6/Paladin3, not Warlock 5/Paladin 4. I generally assume 12 rounds of combat, 3 rounds and 4 fights, with 1 short rest, per day. Multiple short rests a day seems to be as common as no short rests, ime - one blatantly favors pure class, one obviously the multi-class. Most...

Assuming 1 short rest... that's 7 spell slots a day reserved entirely for smiting. 9 with the free Divine Smite cast and warlock recharge. Compare to single class paladin - 10 spell smites at level 9; the multiclass has more level 3 slots, admittedly, but no level 2 slots, and 1 less level 1...

Kobolds aren't lizards, they're tiny dragon people. Warm blooded. White dragons have kobold underlings all the time. Fire mages also sound like somthing local towns would love to have to help keep the place heated and not freezing. I can imagine that having some help heat bath houses would be...

That's more of an upcast with an alternative cost, not more spells. There's no real way to argue that its more spells, because its still linked to one Concentration, one turn casting that's using 1 spell slot (or 1 charge on a staff/wand), and isn't going beyond what said spell was already...

17 with subclass, not 16. You get two from the subclass when you hit level 3 for having spell level 1 and spell level 2 magics, then a third for getting spell level 3 magics. But if we're going to discuss Bladesinger, the subclass without offering more spells, then you have to take into account...

Everyone laughed at my farmer, maid, chef, merchant classes too! I think that people are just being silly. I picked my four based on classes from jrpg games and the species options from stereotypical video game options. So, its not like what I said hasn't been done elsewhere, but its all in...

Wizards do have more spells without adding scrolls or books, though the amount is small. They start with 6 known spells, then gain additional 2 per level, and the spell school grants them an additional 1 per new spell level when they get subclass. At level 3, they have 12 known spells. A...

Its related to how the two classes prepare spells. Wizards can rearrange their prepared spell list every short rest. Sorcerers need to wait for a level up. This lets the wizard prepare a spell, scribe it, then swap out the spell for a new one to scribe. This gives the wizard a larger pool of...

Arcane recovery was touched on, as was rituals, but I think the conclusion is mistaken, as well as missing an important aspect - scroll scribing Ultimately, Arcane Recovery, rituals, and a better method for scroll scribing doesn't lend towards better exploration vs a Sor's better "combat."...

They're not just similar. They're mirror reflections of each other, two different approaches to the same exact role. Warlock, at least, feels more like... the playstyle is closer to paladin or ranger than it is to wizard or sorcerer, imho. But sorcerer has never truly outgrown its status as an...

Good luck
