[QUOTE="Yunru, post: 7029581, member: 6780961"] That being said, I did the first 6 levels of a Fighter 1/Warlock X vs a Eldritch Blade X anyway, because it's useful information. Assuming both went for Fiendish Vigor as an invocation, and that both took the Duelling fighting style: Fighter 1 | Eldritch Blade 1 High dmg: 1d8+5 High dmg: 1d8+5 Low dmg: 1d8+5 Low dmg: 1d8+5 Avg dmg: 9.5 Avg dmg: 1d8+5 Effective Avg HP: 32.5 Effective Avg HP: 13 AC: 17 AC: 17 Fighter 1/Warlock 1 | Eldritch Blade 2 High dmg: 1d8+1d6+5 High dmg: 1d8+1d6+5 Low dmg: 1d8+5 Low dmg: 1d8+5 Avg dmg: 11.25 Avg dmg: 11.25 Effective Avg HP: 40.5 Effective Avg HP: 54 AC: 17 AC: 17 Fighter 1/Warlock 2 | Eldritch Blade 3 High dmg: 1d8+1d6+5 High dmg: 1d8+1d6+5 Low dmg: 1d8+1d6+5 Low dmg: 1d8+1d6+5 Avg dmg: 13 Avg dmg: 13 Effective Avg HP: 80.5 Effective Avg HP: 63 AC: 17 AC: 17 *Not included Martial Archetype Fighter 1/Warlock 3 | Eldritch Blade 4 High dmg: 1d8+1d6+5 High dmg: 1d8+1d6+6 Low dmg: 1d8+1d6+5 Low dmg: 1d8+1d6+6 avg dmg: 13 Avg dmg: 14 Effective Avg HP: 88.5 Effective Avg HP: 72 AC: 17 AC: 18 Fighter 1/Warlock 4 | Eldritch Blade 5 High dmg: 1d8+1d6+6 High dmg: 2d8+2d6+6 Low dmg: 1d8+1d6+6 Low dmg: 2d8+2d6+6 Avg dmg: 14 Avg dmg: 28 Effective Avg HP: 86.5 Effective Avg HP: 81 AC: 18 AC: 18 Fighter 1/Warlock 5 | Eldritch Blade 6 High dmg: 2d8+2d6+6 High dmg: 2d8+2d6+6 Low dmg: 2d8+2d6+6 Low dmg: 2d8+2d6+6 Avg dmg: 28 Avg dmg: 28 Effective Avg HP: 94.5 Effective Avg HP: 90 AC: 18 AC: 18 As you may be able to discern, the Fighter 1/Warlock X has more effective HP, for the price of delaying a boost to attacking.
