[QUOTE="fearsomepirate, post: 8239856, member: 7021420"] This is what you said: "1 divine sorcerer/1 hexblade/5 divine sorcerer/2 hexblade/x divine sorcerer" That's 3 levels of hexblade. Did you mistype it? With the above build, at 11th level, your highest level spell slot is 4th. That's 4d8. You don't get your 5th-level slot until 12th level, and you will never have more than 2 of them. You're not getting your 6th-level slot until 13th or 14th level, at which point the campaign is probably very close to over. I'm not saying this [I]sucks[/I]. I'm saying it's expensive for what it is. You can knock things around much harder with Eldritch Blast than you can with the "bladetrips," you can do lots of single-target damage extremely cheaply, and, for those times when you actually do want to use Spirit Guardians or whatever, sure, you can do that, too. It doesn't hurt to have Booming Blade [I]in case[/I] something gets in your face, but it really shouldn't be the focal point of your build. Text of Command: I don't know how other DMs would rule, but I wouldn't have the creature continue moving to take the secondary BB damage*. You can argue with me if you like, but I'm not ruling that way. *[SIZE=2]This is in a hypothetical world where I allow Warlock multiclassing and Crystal Pepsi still exists[/SIZE]. [/QUOTE]
