Lacks Push and your stuck with Vex, which won't stack with many other things. Bonus action attack is a little better than Steady Aim, but not significant. But at least you can add Trip at level 5. Seems ok. Not bad, not great. Not really better than an Assasin with a longbow.

Anything? Why does magnetic flux form lines?

This would also be be the math for Darkness + Devils Sight / Shadow sorcerer.

That's what quicken is for. But it really depends on the party. If you web creature and your Beserker run in to attack, that doesn't help. If you have a heavy crossbow battlemaster, then web is an lot more appealing.

Hmmm... Web uses Athletics to escape. So Hex could give disadvantage to escape. Not that you can concentrate on both, but worth noting.

Adv +Quicken vs Haste + Quicken 6d10+30 * .84 = 52.92 Vs 9d10+45 * .6 = 56.7 So Haste is a few more points of damage for you, but I expect Web will be far better for most teams.

What feat or feature? Crossbow Expert gets you from 1d8 to 1d10 Great Weapon master gets you +3 damage. Eldritch Blast is 1d10 with 1d6 extra damage. No different. 1d10+3+1d6 Vs 1d10+3+1d8 a few times. Battlemaster is better, but the difference is small. I'm waiting 2 levels. Right, but...

Yes. It's EB spam. Not sure why that's different from heavy crossbow spam. If you want more control, you can use Web instead of Hex. I do agree Battlemaster is better at lower levels

It's decent at 1 It's good at 7 Top tier at 13. Maybe a bit broken at 17. It is a sorlock. But you need Valor bard 6 to make use of Haste -> EB. Otherwise hex and Quicken compete too much for your bonus action. You can skip Bard and do more Warlock if your not going to higher levels.

Fair. Hex + Quicken do compete for bonus actions a bit. But then if you have a lot of little targets, Fireball. Swapping to Haste at 13 is a boost, and keeps the bonus action available for Quicken. You can also add a few Seeking metamagic, but that's not scaling very well. Yea, it doesn't...

I think it's fine if the Ice Devil or casting certain spwlls prevents you from changing. Monsters are allowed to have unique features. But it's hardly going to break anything.

Disagree in this case. The core is Warlock 2 for Hex + Eldritch Blast; makes you a decent ranged attacker no matter what other classes you take. Sorcerer 2 for quicken doubles your damage for a turn, scaling to multiple turns. Though I do realize I made an error. "You can’t have more Sorcery...

And to update the classic Sorlock Sorcerer 2 (quicken, Con saves) Warlock 2 (EB, Agonizing Blast Valor Bard 10 (extra attack, Magic Secrets: Haste, Warcaster, +2 Chq) Fighter 2 (Action Surge) Then you can Action: cast Haste Action Surge: attack + EB Haste Attack: EB Quicken: EB = 16d10+80 +...

Artificer 2, repeating heavy crossbow Sorcerer 3, web, quicken Devotion paladin 3, archery style Warlock 12, pact of the blade, thirsting blade. Quicken web, or Hypnotic Pattern. 3 heavy crossbow shots with +8 to hit that can push.

You're right, missed that. Sure, but fly 80', no opportunity attacks, means your not getting caught. Yea, the extra d10 basically makes up for advantage. Highest accuracy would probably be darts Artificer 2, returning weapon Devotion paladin 3, archery style Barbarian 2, advantage Advantage...

Barbarian's can at level 9. Do dagger (slow 15') + Nick dagger (push 15') + javelin (push 15' and slow 10'). Then dash 80' away (for wolf). You don't have advantage though, so perhaps 3 levels of fighter for precision srike and action surge.

Barbarian's can throw with advantage. Sharpshooter and javelin is 120'. Or Nick with a dagger for more throws. Beserker for the +2d6 damage or Wild Heart (Wolf) for mobility.

Divine Favor works for ranged.

The easiest ability system to balance is 0 ability scores. Everyone seems to start with a +3 anyways, so it's not doing much besides grouping skills.

I don't see anyone arguing that. In fact, everyone seems to be in unusual agreement. Dex +Cha, mostly melee, acrobatics, charm, kind of monk-ish thing.
