Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorbadwolf" data-source="post: 9617798" data-attributes="member: 6704184">Every attack will be using Dex. No part of the build relies on attacking with charisma. I understand why you’d assume otherwise, I should have specified this is a Dex build.Yeah I saw that after I posted. Not sure what version of the character during the building process had the ability to replace an attack with a cantrip or if I just got mixed up while building them at the same time as messing with my rogue/wizard. Oh well, doesn’t really matter since using an attack cantrip is a very small part of the build. TWF with divine favor and smite and hunter’s mark (vengeance paladin), all of which is radiant, is the meat.Anyway thanks for the catch. I could have sworn I had something in a build while updating characters that allowed the attack swap without necessarily having extra track yet, but I was on the travel channel, as it were.False.The “usual goal” is irrelevant, a Dex Paladin already works very well even without at-will mage armor. The Fey patron is quite hard to pin down, on top of that.Weapon masteries aren’t that important, beyond being able to dual wield effectively. They’re nice, that’s it. This character has Dagger and Longbow, allowing effective long range attacks without investing invocations into making EB broken.Admittedly, Slow isn’t the best mastery property, but it is extremely useful when it comes up. The build also has access to Vow of Emnity, and will eventually have a familiar to give her advantage on attacks with the help action. Vex just isn’t needed. Hiding her weapons in plain sight is. Because the game is more than combat.I’ve played Paladin/Warlocks before, and never gone heavy armor, they’ve all been Dex builds. They’ve all been very effective.I’ve been playing D&D for almost thirty years, and 5e for a decade, when I post about a build idea or concept I absolutely don’t need lectures about how I should just do something completely different. Please stop threadcrapping and just move on if you have nothing other than threadcrapping to say here.Which isn’t the case here, so this admonishment isn’t even relevant, beyond the fact that it’s needless lecturing that no one asked for.The TWF with a cantrip works fine, just not in this build, as noted above. My Rogue/Bladesinger switched to a scimitar from a rapier for this reason.Nope, this character literally isn’t losing anything. It’s a versatile characters that murders monsters, has a ton of utility in and out of combat, and will be very fun to play.</blockquote>
