I was thinking on what to do for EK and some thoughts came up:
1) If I go Human variant and pick Fighter as my first class then I can't grab Warcaster which means I can't really make good use of the Shield spell for a long time while also using a great weapon or polearm.
2) Which leaves me in this weird spot where if I want to use a shield and the Shield spell and have the Warcaster feat then I have to be a Human who takes her first level in Wizard which then locks me into a Dex/Int build because then I don't get heavy armor proficiency.
3) Otherwise I can just make the decision that Shield won't be a thing I take(or take for niche purposes) and start over my decision from there.
4) SCAG cantrips are 5 feet for range which means I lose a bit of the benefit for being a Polearm wielder.
I don't know. It feels like I have to think about things more a bit.
