[QUOTE="Jordan Kahl, post: 7158583, member: 6892497"] I'll readily admit that I'm inexperienced at the table, but I'm eager to learn. I accept that it is MAD, but why is that necessarily bad? The +3 shield is irrelevant to the build, as you can't wield one and dual wield or use bladesong and +3 armor would be a bonus, but it wasn't necessary to get to (27 at level 9). With 27 AC, you still have extra attack, two weapon fighting, divine smite, and colossus slayer for 3 attacks at DEX(4)+Prof(4) to hit and damage die+DEX(4) for damage, plus up to 4d8 smite and 1d8 slayer (if you hit even 2 of the 3 with a +8 to hit), all at level 9. You have 7d10+2d6 hit dice, so you don't suffer too much on the HP front for an AC that is +7. I will readily accept it, if there is some flaw I'm not understanding, but I'm just not quite seeing it. Please help me understand. [/QUOTE]
