Ah, I was misreading the poster's intent: I thought he/she/them was implying that you could cast a full spell, and then use GFB for the bonus action attack. Using it to get a second mundane attack as a bonus action totally works, though it's seven levels behind when the Eldritch Knight can do it.

I think this is a good middle ground, OP. In saying that, I'm making several assumptions, the most important of which is if this was going to be published content or not. I personally don't think it will be, because of Mearls' position regarding the class and how it was moved into 5e. But...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe even Battle Magic wouldn't allow for the casting of Greenflame blade, as it's considered casting a cantrip, not simply making a weapon attack.

I love this idea! Fighter/Wizard/Rogue/Druid all the way

Well this may have been covered earlier on in the thread, but I don't see much of a need for any classes outside of the 12 that we have already, with the exception of the Mystic. I really think that having one more Intelligence based full class, as well as from a new "power source" could be...

Like I said, Greenflame blade helps, but I feel like there are better ways to evoke that feel, much like you do. A feature like the one you're describing, or even a cantrip that just plain works better with multiple attacks to help out the EK specifically. Something that enhances attacks until...

I think the 3rd level feature is meant to be very potent, especially considering the fact that there may be another rogue in the party. But having said that, there seem to be other archetypes that are not nearly as combat oriented as their counterparts. Comparing the Fiend pact with that of...

I can see this. Eldritch Knights are supposed to be the gish class, and they just don't feel right as someone who came from the 4e Swordmage. There is very little actual blend of weapon and magic going on in the inherent mechanics. At the end of the day, it's very unsatisfying to want to cast a...

Love this. It makes more sense now how they're fitting a whole subclass plus into one page. This makes me excited to see the new Primal Paths, Druid Circles, The Bladesinger, the Purple Dragon Knight (which will most likely be refluffed into just "Knight" for my campaigns), etc.

You can always separate the rogue from the party. Drop encounters on him solo. Engage in personal duels. There are ways to make a character shine or to make them understand their limitations. I've personally never encountered a situation where I felt Sneak Attack was too much, even in a...

^ that. I admit that it may be ostensibly better on Arcane Trickster's due to how SA works, but still. At level 7 when you get the feature it allows you to up the damage on one attack, and still get a full second one off with a bonus action. On top of damaging a second enemy that is adjacent...

Hmm. I'm starting to question the validity of this, as it's still not posted on either the D&D website or the Extra Life page. The scan looks a little funky too, though that could maybe be my phone? Edit: Nevermind, I was wrong. It's posted on D&D's official tumblr.

Exact same here. I didn't mind the concept of the Eldritch Knight, but the spell selection was very poor, especially if I wanted to take advantage of War Magic. The EE supplement helped with things like Absorb Elements, or even Melf's Minute Meteors, but what I felt was really missing was...

I was hoping this would mesh well with the Eldritch Knight's War Magic feature, and I'm pleased that it does

Actually no I haven't! Haha, that's not to say it isn't a thing that happens, but I'm not expressly familiar with anyone I know having these types of experiences. And I certainly have no frame of reference personally. But it's certainly not unbelievable. I guess it just feels strange to me, but...

If it's like an alarm clock, then what makes the warlord's voice any different than the rogue or wizard shouting at them? Noise is noise, no?

This is what I'm having trouble understanding. The desire is healing that can raise an unconscious character out of that state. Can you "fluff over" what is actually happening in a situation like this? Without magic traveling through the air somehow, how does so-called "inspirational healing"...

My two cents: Your 16's should go in Strength and Intelligence. Third highest Constitution. The rest is at your discretion. I would shoot for War Magic as quickly as possible, at level 7. Level 6 could work too, at that point you'd have gotten both Strength and Intelligence up to a +4. At some...

I too plan on submitting a character. Battlemaster Fighter, sword and board. Though I do plan to do a little research before fully writing out a background, he's mostly built. That wiki link is greatly appreciated for some historical background on the region. Once I figure out how best to format...

I personally would love to see a Frankenstein mash-up of all three existing Ranger write-ups, based mostly off of the PHB version. Hide in Plain Sight is virtually useless, and Foe Slayer is interesting, but also very situational due to the tie to Favored Enemies. Honestly, what I'd love to see...
