D&D (2024) Can I get Armor of Agathys without being a Warlock?

[ECMO3]

True strike doesn't work for unarmed attacks. Not that I would see any issue with allowing it.

It also won't work for the bonus action attacks.

I don't want it for unarmed attacks or bonus action attacks.

I am not finding that to be the case in 2024

I am finding it to be the case. In the games I am playing with 2024 characters, the multiclass weapon-using characters we have are generally outrunning the single class martials using similar builds in DPR, either because they are using:

1. Truestrike-Agonizing Blast and Green-Flame-Blade Agonizing Blast along with either Divine Smite or Sneak Attack or both plus a weapon mastery

or

2. They are using Vex+Nick+Martial Arts getting more attacks than a single class character and with a better selection of weapons than a single class Fighter or Ranger can use with Dexterity.

Single class Martials need to take feats to keep up in DPR and they can keep up with feats, but these characters get to take ASIs or other feats instead without losing out and have a bunch of spells and other abilities to boot.
