[QUOTE="Glitchezz, post: 7251633, member: 6913845"] We are pretty new players, i started as our DM in March this year so we haven't played any high level stuff and because of this i have problems with thinking that far ahead in game (my highest level character was level 7 in a one-shot). The DM we will have for this campaign is a power gamer in all our campaigns and one shots, this is why we really have to optimize everything, as i said he will be throwing much deadlier encounters at us. Also in the next campaign after this i will have a Paladin Oathbreaker multiclassed with Warlock for roleplaying purposes that's why i don't want to make a caster this time, especially eldritch blast oriented one, i really don't like playing same things over and over, every game i take a new race and new class to play. But anyway i really love your idea of thinking outside the box not just in numbers, but for this particular campaign i think depending on the DM it would be much better to stack the number, like with assassinate for auto crit then having action surge, few extra attacks, extra damage dice from sneak attack or colossus slayer. And this way i have steady damage even when i don't auto crit and spend action surge. [/QUOTE]
