[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9201370, member: 7030563"] I have a 1st level Drow Fighter S16,D8,C12,I13,CH17. Right now she has blind fighting fighting style and uses a Lance and a Maul as her primary weapons, with handaxes she can throw. I plan to take a Warlock Dip next level, not sure which subclass though. Will pick up GFB and Eldritch Blast. After this dip she is going to go to 8th level Eldritch Knight fighter getting Fey Touched with either Hex or Dissonant Whispers, Drow High Magic and a Charisma ASI on her three ASIs. My EK spells will be mostly defensive with Booming Blade and Blade Ward. After 9th level I am not sure what I am going to do, maybe a few Paladin levels, maybe War Magic Wizard or maybe more Warlock levels. I am debating whether to take my Warlock level in Hexblade or Undead. Since Charisma is higher than Strength Hexblade would let me attack with Charisma with her Lance, but I am not sure how long I will be using that and if we find a good two-handed weapon it won't work with that. If I take Hexblade I am probably going to get Wrathful Smite (working with reach weapons) and probably AOA as her spells. If I go Undead you get the form of Dread, which would seem better than Wrathful Smite, not requiring concentration or spell slots, but I won't be doing as much damage. For spells I would probably get Cause Fear and Hex and then get Dissonant Whispers on Fey Touched. This would give me Hex earlier and the synergy with Dissonant Whispers causing a Form of Dread Attack of Opportunity is pretty awesome. Storywise, Undead is a bit easier. Which do you think would work better? [/QUOTE]
