[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7634504, member: 6704184"] There it is! That’s (to quote Jerry Holkins) ballin’ outta control! And if it requires a bonus action and the bonus is based on a secondary stat, it can be roughly equivalent to an off hand attack getting +stat damage. (Doesn’t have to be perfect, just within normal power levels) So, “ while wielding a weapon in one hand and an arcane focus in the other, you can spend a Bonus Action to either gain a +2 bonus to AC, or to deal +Int Fire, cold, Lightning, Thunder, or Acid, damage on your next weapon attack.” So, it’s like switching between TWF and sword and shield as a bonus action, with the added bonus of choosing what elemental damage your bonus damage is. I’d be fine with letting the whole weapon attack damage be that type, but I’m not 100% on the balance there. So, you’re fighting like a Gish from day one of playing the character, but you aren’t overshadowing anyone. There are MC concerns, but I don’t think it will be a real problem. Fighter is almost always a very good MC option anyway. [/QUOTE]
