[QUOTE="Arial Black, post: 6967817, member: 6799649"] While Warcaster is nice, you only need it if you go sword & board or TWF; otherwise (single 1H or 2H weapon) you can have a free hand for the components. You don't need Action Surge to cast two spells until you have two worthwhile spells to cast! Start Ftr 1, then switch to Sor and come back to Ftr later. If you wear heavy armour, you'll waste the best part of Draconic (the base 13 AC); it's one or the other. GWM will get you a bonus action attack, quite frequently at lower levels. The SCAG cantrips (BB, G-FB) are incompatible with Extra Attack. I wouldn't pursue Extra Attack, and just let it arrive with levels in Favoured Soul. I'd start with 16s in Str/Cha, dump Dex to 8, have as good a Con as I could have with the points left over from having Int/Wis as low as I could bear. Take HAM as the bonus feat. Start with Ftr 1, use the heaviest armour I can afford, use a greatsword, no need for ranged weapons because I'll have a ranged cantrip, and for fighting style I'd choose GWF, although having the +1 AC is tempting. For the next 5 levels I'd take Favoured Soul, getting GWM as my feat. Then I'd start to think about when to take levels 2 and 3 of fighter/Battlemaster, depending on the campaign and the make-up of the party. [/QUOTE]
