[QUOTE="zaratan, post: 6845192, member: 6810501"] yes, EK is lackluster at low lvls compared to BM or paladin, but is an amazing class in later game. comparing EK with cleric is impossible, EK is waaaaay better martial and melee than cleric. Cleric is a full caster and is waaaaay better in this (but at lvl 10 EK can do desadvantage in save throws to any enemy he attack, and he can attack many. None full caster have something like that). About Int, if you don't want to multiclass, don't dump Int. If you want to multiclass, EK/sorc, EK/warlock or EK/bard are more optimized than EK/wiz, so dump Int and invest in Cha. If you only want to attack and buff, yoo can dump int and only invest in physical stats. As I said, at lvl 14 (EK 11/Sorc 3) you can make 6 attacks with action surge, and than cast a spell with your bonus action (and the targets will save with desadvantage). remember that a booming blade at high levels can do 7d8 + the melee attack damage. Ranged EK are great too. If you're with a group, starting at lvl 1 and low probability to go close to lvl 20, I wouldn't go with EK. Starting at high lvls, would be one of my first options. [/QUOTE]
