[QUOTE="Blue, post: 6864689, member: 20564"] Rogue is interesting. It works with your Booming Blade/Greenflame blade cantrip for more damage. But if you want to do even more multiclassing I would think you'd go for something that can give you Con saves for concentration. Fighter gives a lot at 1st level including great HPs, Con saves, fighting style, second wind. Plus is you want to toss later levels into it you get Action Surge at 2nd and a martial archetype at 3rd. Or start with Mystic to get Int/Wis their ability to swap Wis save for another save could cover it. As long as your planning on being primarily melee, the delay of higher level spells isn't a huge deal - attack cantrips, shield and absorb elements (from the EE spells) will be your early friends. But if the campaign goes to the teens or later you might miss the pure-caster aspects of your character. Mystic 5 is a big difference from Mystic 3 in terms of PPs and your max of 5 per opens up some new powers, plus 5th you can start taking Greater Disciplines. There are lots of cool disciplines, but if you plan on having lots of PP to spend then Psionic Weapon can give you nice smite bonus damage when you hit. With low level spells, bladesinging bonus to AC, and your temp HPs every round you've already got a good defense started so it rounds it out nicely. With the fantastic ability scores you rolled, delaying getting ASI wouldn't hurt you vs. point buy. But if everyone rolled really well and your DM calibrates challenges against that level you may feel it. It's really depends on your table, but I'd tend towards not worrying too much. [/QUOTE]
