Yep. Two-Handed (p. 147). This property is relevant only when you attack with the weapon, not when you simply hold it. You only need 1 free hand to cast, and the only time you can somehow cast and attack concurrently is with BB/GFB, and then you can hold the sword/somatic componenet in both hands.

It's still 1d10 if you use versatile weapons with both hands.

It depends how strong you want your caster side. And if you want extra attack or will use SCAG's booming blade. EK is a full fighter but you won't get 3rd spell slots (fireball) until level 13. Paladin gets 3rd slots at level 9 and can choose different spells every day. Paladin 2 / sorcerer at...

Yeah, I thought "lucky bard" at the OP description. Seeing "wizard" was a "oh right, that works too."

At the very best, you should be barbarian 5 / fighter 2 or you'll gimp your damage for lack of extra attack. As a dwarf, I would get barbarian 9 before thinking of champion. Improved critical is merely decorative until you get some brutal critical dice. In fact, you could still use 2 handaxes...

Overall damage for the day is equivalent. A shorter day is better for BM, a longer one better for champion. This also assumes you randomly choose when to use your 4 SD, without taking advantage of the situation.

Yep, you need house rules to help avoid short rests. I was hoping you wouldn't bring the pocket cleric into the "all day long" fantasy. A Cleric 5th using all his 1st/2nd slots would heal 10d8+28 per week, another ~30 rounds for the week. At which point you should average the DPR of both...

While I don't disagree with that at high levels, there are 2 caveats: - A single riposte does ~15 damage on hit while a crit roll of 19 adds ~7; you need at least 20 attack rolls per SD (even dropping hit rate to 50%). - You will run out of health within ~40 rounds of combat, and ~20 rounds the...

Unless you really want Str18 / Con18 at level 4, start with 16 14 16 8 12 10. If you don't care about initiative, you can Dex10 for Cha14. And yes, you could start with 2 handaxes and switch at level 5, when greatsword does more damage. Pick defense fighting style though.

I've said it before. Just give champion an extra action surge at level 7. That's enough to balance it against BM.

So, the "trap option" does more damage. Until you get your 3rd attack, then it becomes a dead-end.

"I shoot at the wizard through the rock" seems good enough an investigation. This is why it's only good once.

With IDS you do 3d6+10+3d8, compared to a maul's 4d6+10+2d8. Not to mention you have 3 chances to crit and get an opportune smite. TWF is bad for fighters, mostly.

Never Cha17 unless you want the actor feat. So, at level 5 you'll be paladin 2 / sorcerer 3. If you push fighter, you won't get your 3rd attack until level 16. If you keep paladin, many things happen 2 levels earlier: ASI, extra attack. At level 12 you are paladin 2 / sorcerer 3 / EK 7, war...

None. CE is better than DW, but they both are incompatible with beast master. To get the bonus action attack, you MUST use the attack action. - your pet can only attack if you use your action to command it. No attack action. - your pet can help (at level 7) if you use your bonus action. No...
