[QUOTE="WanderingMystic, post: 9431027, member: 69157"] You should be able to cast a cantrip using war magic because that is using the attack action and allows you to replace an attack with a cantrip. I still don't think the extra attack from bard that allows you to replace an attack with a cantrip should stack with war magic. Assuming that it does work however you would need the following Fighter lvl 7 Bard lvl 6 Sorcerer lvl 2 Warlock lvl 2 Agonizing Blast, Pact of the Blade, +1 Warcaster: for casting in melee range At this point you can attack with Eldritch blast with agonizing blast (3 beams) and then a wizard cantrip every round while also being able to use sorcery points to quicken Eldritch blast to cast as a bonus action. If you action surge that give you a 3rd Eldritch blast and a 2nd wizard cantrip. As far as haste goes I would rule that since the bards ability to swap out a cantrip is part of the extra attack action and haste only lets you make one attack I would let you swap it out for a wizard spell but not Eldritch blast That is 3 wizard cantrips and 3 Eldritch blast (for 12 beams). All of this is at level 17 you have only gotten 3 feats and one of those needs to be warcaster so I'm guessing that you will have an int 16, cha 20 [/QUOTE]
