Eldritch Blade (Fighter/Warlock Hybrid)

[Yunru]

So with the Warlock I decided upon something different, due to their two sets of subclasses. Martial hybrids will (somewhat) mirror the Pact of the Blade, while spellcasters will mirror either the Tome or Chain. For the Eldritch Blade, as a half-caster, things get interesting: Half-Casters don't get cantrips.

Yunru, why would anyone ever play a fighter again?

Gee I dunno, maybe for all the reasons people currently play them vs. say the Paladin or the Ranger.

Right because your class isn't any stronger than a Paladin or Ranger.... :footStompingSmiley

Glad you're consistant with the proof. Now we can solidly agree that the class with less attacks, less durability, less actions, and less Ability Score Improvements (which you would of noticed, presuming you checked the content before posting, has yet to be filled in) is better than the class with all that because it has some short rest spellcasting.

This one is so obviously stronger than Fighters, Paladins and Rangers I don't even know why we are still talking about it.

 

[Cap'n Kobold]

Does this class get free choice of subclasses for both Warlock and Fighter as well as spells? Or are the Martial Archetype features referring to Eldritch Knight Archetype abilities?

Because you've yet to actually name any of the ways in which it's stronger. That's why.

It gets to choose a Patron and a Martial Archetype, yes. Not sure how I want to alter the EK, if at all. Might just leave it be.

Obvious???
