From his stat block splash, Warlock Hexblade with high Charisma and average Strength. So kinda yes in temperment, but mostly no.

This is true, but consider what it does give. You have access to your bow as much as any Battlemaster, Rogue, or Ranger, with the benefit of no disarms or the benefit of bonding a dagger and a rapier for unparalleled ranged/melee weapon access. Disarming shenanigans would actually occur less...

You can reduce this concept to a formula. (Max AC threshold) = (attack bonus) - (base damage/2) + 16 As your base damage increases, the maximum AC you should power attack on decreases. Any AC above the given max threshold will have better average damage not power attacking. Source...

They have the same HD as a cleric, Fiend Patron, Armor of Agathys, and at-will free Mage Armor, and that's just pure Warlock with no multiclass or feats. Warlock is one of the better full caster frontliners.

Not that it's the most optimized blaster, but there's a certain amount of satisfaction as an EK20 hitting 4-5 people with your attacks and then Action Surge for a Fireball all at disadvantage thanks to Eldritch Strike.

Base Fighters are already potent archers in general. In addition to the general utility and defense all Eldritch Knights get, Archer EKs can focus on getting superb mobility out of spells and abilities like Expeditious Retreat, Arcane Charge, Misty Step, and Haste. Self-Hasting also brings DPR...

If you're just going to be antagonistic, I guess this is done.

Two things: this isn't a compound sentence ('a friendly creature in attacking a creature' is a fragment) and it is more accurately a prepositional phrase (so not a subordinate clause which is dependent on the main clause). Prepositional phrases clarify the relationship of the subject with the...

It's not so ambiguous if we apply some syntactical parsing. It's not a compound sentence but it is a complex sentence, so there are multiple clauses with regard to the subject (you, or specifically familiar here) and the predicate (aid). The clauses in our sentence are "aid a friendly creature...

Effectively no. Find Familiar says they can't attack, but technically (pedantically) they never lost their "weapon". More importantly, the rule that you must be capable of a task alone is specifically under Ability Checks, PHB p 175. Attacks are a separate type of check, which the Help Action...

With Flyby, you have the option of getting half-cover consistently (hides behind you or another party member). 3/4ths and full cover is harder, but if it's available Flyby let's you get back to it. It's definitely not foolproof, but it mitigates some risk. Once you include Mage Initiate or...

+1 to saving throw, initiative, multiple skills, and potentially AC, attack, and damage, vs +1 to AC and a minor boost to an optional encumbrance rule. If it was the only way to break 17 AC (ignoring Shields) and still stealth without disadvantage it would be different, but there are multiple...

TWF doesn't work with Beast Master. TWF specifically requires you to take the Attack Action, and BM only lets you make an additional weapon attack. Polearm Master's bonus attack doesn't work for the same reason. Your table can, of course, waive or alter the requirement (most I know do).

He actually gave you a weighted arithmetic mean formula, not the "standard" average. (1+2+3+4+5+6+1+2+3+4+5+6+3+4+5+6)/16 is just (6*3.5 + 6*35 + 1*3 + 1*4 + 1*5 + 1*6) / (6 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) In other words, the exact weighted average formula. If you want a "standard" average, there are...
