[QUOTE="Antarx, post: 7033831, member: 6699371"] That was my fist idea also!! What puts me on doubt about this college are the other abilities. I don't know how to rate them, but they seem to be much less interesting than the lore bard skills. The greatsword options only would come into the game if, by any chance, I can put my hands over a ogre gauntlets or something alike. This invocation seems to be able to dish some big damage numbers. It will cost me 2 more warlock levels, but in exchange, it will save me a feat (you don't need a feat to cast spells with a 2 handed sword). But of course, I can't plan all my career around a magic item that may never appear. About the darkness... I think that you have a point. Also, that spell will totally butcher my party's chances to hit anything on combat. There are better spells around (I just need to cherrypick them :) ) I think that I can make some alterations, like changing from Warlock 2/ Bard1 to Bard2/warlock 1, but I don't think that I'll be able to shift to sorcerer. The race is fixed too, so I can't take the magic initiate route. But I suppose that you are right about the delayed magical progression. I had read somewhere that in 5e high casting levels aren't as importants as in past editions, and I simply accepted it without taking a look in detail to the spells (It's a big list, and it takes some time) I need to read them carefully. I think that I'm going to be a bit conservative with the build for the moment, and I will go hexblade warlock1/bard 2. I can always get more warlock levels in the future, if needed. I have still some time until level 4, so I can make my choice between Lore or Satire without hurry. Thank you, Sir!! I have another two bard-like characters on other games, and I tried my best to make them different between each other, so playing them doesn't gets boring. -One is a Skald (viking bard) on a Yggdrasyl game.
