[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7100873, member: 6689161"] Hello all, I just had a thought about a different character. I usually like using weapons with spellcasters; hence my doomed romance with blade pact warlocks. Surely not for everyone. But I was thinking about playing a character who is a warrior at least in some ways who relies on cantrips for their primary attack. So, with all of the eggheads on this site, I figured there would be some cool ideas to implement this. I would like to develop a character who is armored, often in combat but uses cantrips to a very great extent. I would want spells to be less frequent. Bonus if any spells used are touch attack where cantrips could be a variety. Some caveats: I want armor and to have some hit points; I do not want to do eldritch blast due to reasons. I am intrigued by poision spray, chill touch, acid splash and shocking grasp. Bonus points for a selection of cantrips that have a cool rider such as chill touch and undead. I do not (Clearly!) have optimization as a top concern. I want a combat centric character who uses touch attacks as well as cantrips which may/may not be touch. Which feats would make this fun (e.g. warcaster)? It is OK if it is not a full caster. Magic initiate and sharpshooter are fine considerations. Thanks for interesting ideas for class, race, and selection of cantrips and spells. Any commentary on predicted effectiveness would be very welcome as well. Thanks in advance for your creativity and brain power! [/QUOTE]
