[QUOTE="Cain_the_Deceiver, post: 9342368, member: 7045715"] Are you forgetting pact of the blade hexblade warlocks? with just a few levels into that you can make any class a gish, proficiency with any weapon, spells like shield, armor of agathys, darkness cast on your weapon so it moves with you + devil's sight so you blind your enemies but are unaffected yourself (be careful with blinding your allies as well with this one, though), shadow blade for dual wielding or extra damage if you don't have a strong enough base weapon. 5 levels gives you the ability to have two attacks with the eldritch invocation. All that with light armor proficiency, d8 hitdie, and spell slots that come back on a short rest. Combine it with paladin, bard, sorcerer, since charisma classes have some of the best multiclassing options Or take fighter, ranger, cleric, monk, whatever, and let charisma take a back seat, focus on spells where your modifier doesn't matter to buff your main class, since none of the previous spells mentioned care about your modifier. Heck, even barbarian still works because armor of agathys is not concentration, just duration. Casting it then raging also effectively doubles the amount of temp HP you get since you're taking half damage, while still doing the full retaliation damage to your enemies, buffing your damage as well as your survivability. Plus neat buffs that will help you in and out of combat with evocations, like devil's sight for free non/magical darkvision or detect magic or disguise self at will. [/QUOTE]
