[QUOTE="SaintRas, post: 7279172, member: 6920180"] I really like this build, but your to-hit calculations for advantage are incorrect. You write: "With advantage its (2d20/2)+11 your chance to hit AC20 is 66% for 106 aDPR" It looks like you are taking the average of 2 d20's to account for advantage, but advantage lets you roll 2 d20 and take the higher number. An easy way to calculate your chance to hit with advantage is finding out what your chance to miss with both d20's is, and subtracting that from 1. With the 60% to-hit on AC 20 with a +11 bonus, your chance to hit with advantage is actually 1-0.4^2 = 84%, much higher than the 66% you found. This probably makes Darkness much better than you give it credit for, especially if you start with 17 Dex (15+2 from Half-Elf), you can take the Elven Accuracy feat at level 6, bringing your Charisma to 18 and granting tri-vantage. Your chance to hit AC 20 with a +11 bonus and tri-vantage is 93.6%. Also, under Concentration options you suggest Faerie Fire, how would you get access to that spell? Isn't it only available to Druids and Bards? [/QUOTE]
