    D&D 5E (2014) The Eldritch Knight...what am I missing?

    Look like we agree in many things, lol. My point is just how EK/sorc is superior than EK/wiz, since you're EK probably because DPR, and sorc multiclass can add more of that (with consumable resources), while wiz add utility, but you lose DPR. If you want ranged EK, full EK, EK 11/warlock2(or...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Eldritch Knight...what am I missing?

    if you're using haste, will be probably an evocation spell. But as you said, you don't need to use haste. You're not an EK only because desadvantage, just check what an EK 11 can do. You're EK probably because DPR. Still, why would you go 11 lvls as EK to be a 9th wizard? If you want to...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Eldritch Knight...what am I missing?

    If you want ranged attack, yes sorlock is probably a better option. But if you want melee, EK/sorc will be better. You can make 3 attacks and than cast a spell and all targets from that and the last round will save with desadvantage, none full caster have that and warlock doesn't have that too...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Eldritch Knight...what am I missing?

    Still, you need to choose: make 3 attacks, or cast a spell. As a sorcerer you could do both in the same turn. And add your Cha mod to your fireball damage as draconic bloodline (besides I prefer wild magic), and even reroll damage dices if you get empowered spell. sorry, maybe I'm to noob to...

    leave at 12 is an option too, if you need an extra feat/ASI.

    D&D 5E (2014) Sentinel+Polearm Master+Quarterstaff+Lance+Mount?

    attacking someone that is grappling you don't give you desadvantage. Only if you're restrained or prone, or something else. the frog can't bite again if he's restraining someone, you will lose 2 attacks. But he can release, and attack again restraining again (but he can miss too). Yes, I...

    Many feat options, like great weapon master, or polearm master, tht one is good with spell sniper too, to cast booming blade or gfb at 10ft. Even warcaster is very usefull in that case. Warcaster if you use shield, or shield master. Magic initiate can bring more options. Sharpshooter and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Great Weapon Fighting and damage dice from other sources

    Good remember. But even in that absurd exemple I gave, I don't think RAW is broken.

    D&D 5E (2014) Great Weapon Fighting and damage dice from other sources

    My issue with RAI is that GWF do less damage that dueling, and for me, a feature of two hand weapon need to be equal or better in damage than a one hand. But I understand that some DMs will not like a critical smiter sneak attacker booming blader elemental weapon rerolling all 1 or 2.

    don't know any class at lvl 12 that can do in a single target up to 8d6 +7d8 +60 rerolling 1 and 2 in one turn for the cost of a 1st lvl spell. Can you provide me that information?

    D&D 5E (2014) Sentinel+Polearm Master+Quarterstaff+Lance+Mount?

    Any target grappled can attack you, there isn't any statement agaist that, he only can't move. So grappling without another condition isn't really useful agaist an enemy that make good melee attacks. yes, restreined is a much better condition, but is basicly the same of a grappled and prone...

    D&D 5E (2014) Great Weapon Fighting and damage dice from other sources

    RAW, yes, it say damage dice for the attack, not weapon dice. RAI, no, as Jeremy Crawford said.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Eldritch Knight...what am I missing?

    I really think EK 11/sorc 9 is better than multiclass in wizard. just dump int, use the EK spells for buffs. The fact you can attack 3 times and cast the spell as bonus action, break any wizard school. Or twin your haste or even banishment. wild sorcerer let you be the king of of saves, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sentinel+Polearm Master+Quarterstaff+Lance+Mount?

    let's agree that the DC to get out of the grapple is ridiculous at mid levels, but ok, the target lose one action to leave (but he can stay and attack you). You still lose one action to shove prone, and that is the big deal of grapple (but the enemy probably will succeed to leave the grapple in...

    Good Multiclass Options for Arcana Cleric?

    start as fighter 1 for heavy armor and martial weapon, con saves, fighting style, second wind. fighter 2 for action surge. 3 for superiority dices. druid 1 for shillelagh, goodberry, entangle... sorcerer 3 for metamagic. wizard 2, choose the best school as abjuration or divination warlock...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sentinel+Polearm Master+Quarterstaff+Lance+Mount?

    I know, but you need polearm master + sentinel + mounted combatant + str + dex 14 + wis (if you want to cast something beyond hunter's querry), to that start to work, how you're not human v. we are talking about lvl 12. And at that point, many enemies with resistance or imunity to non magical...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Eldritch Knight...what am I missing?

    yes, EK is lackluster at low lvls compared to BM or paladin, but is an amazing class in later game. comparing EK with cleric is impossible, EK is waaaaay better martial and melee than cleric. Cleric is a full caster and is waaaaay better in this (but at lvl 10 EK can do desadvantage in save...

    Sell me on the Warlock

    without EB, the best option would be multiclass. Many options, many many options. But without multiclass too, I think pact tome shillelagh BB/GFB would be a good option, but you spend many spells in your survability.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Eldritch Knight...what am I missing?

    EK normaly isn't one of best options at low lvl, but is great at high ones. You can really multiclass with any class, you can dump Int and invest in another stat. EK11/sorcerer x is fantastic, you can attack 3 times (6 with action surge or even 7 with haste) and cast spells with your bonus...
