With 6 in fighter you get 2 asi's, 8would give you 3. However you lose 7th level spells and those slots, and the 13th level bard ability which I dont recall but I would wager is better than your 7 fighter feature.

Afaik there is no paragraph specifically dealing with this. My interpretation with sunblade type weapons is that it would me radiant damage. No piercing or slashing is happening so it wouldnt make sense to add that type of damage. Additionally with a flametongue i would personally rule for 1/2...

Of those 2 choices I would pick trickery, mostly due to the lack of it in the party so you can make that an option in a pinch.

That is definitely a great way to go, full casting, for utility and aoe, and solid uses for your bonus action/reaction really shore up the fighter's main weaknesses.

Any time sowething says it deals "an extra xdx's" it isnt modifying the weapons damage but adding to it. Anything else that refers to the weapot damace still only finds the bare weapon. Again though talk to your dm if this is important to you 5e is much more based on dm discretion than previous...

The only aoe spells you get are destructive wave, ice storm, and spirit guardians. Rangers also have aoe spells with better range and damage, not to montion their non spell aoe is much better. Still has cure wounds for some support, albeit not much. And I would prefer ensnaring strike and...

I like your idea. Personally id limit it to extra attack and not the extra attack(2) or(3). Hex and hunters mark arent the only on hits, divine favor, improved divine smite, elemental weapon all only take one bonus action far tho whole encounter and are generally better than tex/wark for that...

Single target damage yes. Any class can do that and its pointless because if theres only a few enemies you have a clear advantage. You dant need to be good at single target damage un my opinion. Melee rangers, especially with great weapons, are amazing at aoe damage. If you can deal with...

As i said since its unclear ask your dm. Hunter's mark werks the same way.

If i recall corrctly anytime a spell or ability adds non-specified damace to an attark it is the sawe damage that weapon would normally produce. That said it is somewhat vague so check with your dm.

Barbarians, rogues(more chances to sneak atk), and paladins are the best options for twf. Anyone using hex/hunters mark or divine favor/crusaders mantle are also good. Basically more on hit effects the better twf is. In general a two handed weapon will be better after extra attack esp if you...

As mello said the ranger, s real strength lies in aoe. An often underrated area. In 5e the hardest fights fou will have will be the ones where you are outnumbered. Aoe is so much more valuable in a bounded accuracy system. That said a dip to level 5 gets you most of that, level 9 if you vant...

Fes absolutely. This is actually a concept ive had for a while. The best path ive found is to go lvl 1 fighter and dip one into warlock arund 5 for the short rest slot and hex(waiting til 10 for it is soo long). What you gain; +Full casning, more spell slots better selection. +Swift quiver...

Mello definitely has the more specific advice covered so I'll just add my advice for any bard; Make sure to look at Paladin, and Ranger for great spells for their level. Many of them, since the classes progress slower magically, are much stronger than the same level spells of other classes. Some...

It is a classic bladelock thing to do. I definitely prefer it over the very played out polearm version. Warlocks are set up oddly well to be defensive too. Things like the invocation for mage armor at will, dark one's blessing, armor of agathys, Darkness, hold person etc are all great things for...

Literally any character of any race or class can choose to be tied to a deity. Nothing in the character creation of a paladin has you choose to have allegiance to a god or even gives you that option. If that's the flavor you're going for sure that's fine, but you could do the same thing with a...

Rangers also do not get gwf, and paladins lack archery. As far as get w/e you want goes i like the flavor of the class not being lent to thosestyles naturally.

Also keep in mind that you get no benefit from raging if you are wearing heavy armor so stick to medium!

As rcanine said, being loyal to lolth sure, but you arent 'of lolth'. On the subject of damage. I assume you are speaking of hunter's mark and their CD. While those are good honestly usually crusaders mantle or divine favor is better. You get d4s but you never have to move it with your bonus...

The edition I finally got to play. Been wanting to play d&d for 6years finally found a group. Alternatively; 2.5gallons of alchemist's fire usually does the trick.
