[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9324681, member: 7030563"] Playing a Winter Elandrin Glamour Bard with a Feylock Warlock dip in a 1-20 (actually 3-20) campaign. We are starting at 3rd level after our 3rd-level party TPKed last week. She is currently a Warlock 1/Bard 2 and starts as a Warlock. The plan is to go to level 6 Bard, then take another Warlock Level then most of the rest of levels as a Bard. Maybe a 1-level Order Cleric dip in there somewhere, but at least 17 levels of Bard by level 20. She currently has 14 Dex and 17 Charisma. Her first three ASIs are going to be Shadow Touched (Charisma), Charisma ASI and Warcaster. Not sure about her late game ASIs, maybe magic initiate Wizard, maybe a Wisdom ASI, maybe something else. Here is her sheet at level 3, but it is subject to change until the first session: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/122882011[/URL] Warlock spells are PEG and Hex. Bard Cantrips pretty much suck for combat and I am debating her Warlock cantrips and I only get 2. Eldritch Blast is the no-brainer and she will eventually get Agonizing Blast too, although late around level 7. For her second Cantrip I am on the fence between Booming Blade and Chill Touch. Chill Touch would be a back up when I wanted someone to not regenerate, which can be super useful, especially at high levels, but it will be rare that I use this over EB and it is entirely situational. That said it is on Charisma and when the situation is right it is awesome to have. Booming Blade would be with a Rapier and a relatively poor attack bonus. This character is not designed to be in melee, but when she gets there she will often be able to cash in on the extra damage rider (assuming a hit) as an AOO with Warcaster and as something she can use before Fey stepping to safety. With her Fey Charm, Dissonant whispers and the 14th level Glamor Bard feature she is likely to get AOOs often when forced into melee. Honorable mention - Toll The Dead. I am going to pass on this I think because I have VM as a save cantrip, and although damage sucks, I don't think I need 2 save Cantrips. Rest of party is Barbarian, melee Cleric, Monk, Wizard Thoughts ? [/QUOTE]
