This is why I say that number alone cannot answer questions about how effective things are at the table. If I’m not gonna sneak, sure, but I’m also happy to spend an invocation on not needing armor for thematic reasons. Which is why it is, like most tools, situational in usage. Both are there primarily for fighting big critters.Since the build would be allowed to use EB and artificer stuff together, hitting more often isn’t really a problem.You might be forgetting that firing from 240 feet away is not soemthing you can actually do all the time.Honestly I only ever look at Undead Warlock when it comes up in conversation, so good catch. Of course I don’t mind being a little squishier on this build. Yeah Art/War is definitely a rolled stats build. Yeah I’ll take a look again at those, but my gut reaction is that they will take too many levels to really do what they’re there to do, compared to Evocation. Illusion is very interesting. Conjuration is as well, tbh. Well, from memory. But artificers are good at concentration saves which is the one big weakness of summoning. I somewhat agree, though I think the real killer for this build is that Bladesinger’s cool later feature requires the attack action, not spell attacks through your wand. At that point, might as well have taken fighter levels. But increased speed, AC, Concentration, and acrobatics, is very good for a ranged character in my group’s games. YMMV, obviously. It’s 2d8 damage. It’s not that big a deal. Bladesong is a BA once, at the start of combat, sometimes just before. Not a big deal. Tbh I don’t like much about War Magic. I’d rather go Abjuration, between the defensive buff PHB Wizard schools. Especially with how good the low level Abjuration are, and the fact I’ve got shield autoprepared because I’m an Artillerist.</blockquote>
