It depends on the character. For my Rogue / Hexblade, the Warcaster feat opens up the possibility for him to use Booming Blade as a reaction attack, gives him advantage on con saves to keep Hex up, and makes it easier for him to get a spell of if necessary while in combat. This versatility...

My storm sorcerer avoids melee whenever possible. Sometimes I will cast a first level spell or higher just the get the free 10 feet of movement without chance of a reaction when combat gets too close. Melee and sorcerers generally don't mix. As for optimization, take a look at the guides on...

The Hexblade Patron really enhances any melee based Warlock with the medium armor and shield proficiency, plus having your hit and damage based on Charisma so you only have to focus on one main stat makes it a lot easier to enhance your character with feats. The Hexblade really allows the...

In real life, I've worn protective leather (motorcycle racing gear) and can tell you that it makes movement a little harder and it's heavy compared to normal clothes or robes. Light armor is supple and thin when compared to medium armor, but it is less flexible than regular clothes. Less...

Unless it's a one shot, a character should be defined to be effective at what they do. Now, that doesn't necessarily need to be a combat skill, perhaps your character is good spy, or able to effectively track a fugitive. That said, effective doesn't equate to optimized, especially optimized...

Expertise. It is something that is always present when you roll, so all your checks in that ability are higher. Advantage is situational, and as others have said, I or the party can sometimes create a situation where I have advantage. I'm playing a rogue for the first time, and seeing that...

I'm about to start playing my first multi-class character and I'd say I did it less for mechanical power than just how well I saw the two classes skills meshing together. First, I always felt Warlocks were designed to be multi-classed. Wouldn't you need to be someone adventuring, thieving, or...

For the most part, the action economy is necessary to handle class features where a user can do something quick along with their normal action during a turn. It provides a place for these additional actions to take place, while defining that you only get one. That said, the action economy...

Wizards depending on spell selection and school (subclass) have a lot of combat control and great role playing spells as well. Illusions to trick the enemy, message to send long distance, a familiar to act as a scout. Warlocks have lots of versatility with the pacts and invocations. You can...
