[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 7526257, member: 71699"] I know exactly what you mean and believe there is plenty of scope in the game for versatile characters who are not hard-out optimised, but good in a variety of circumstances. Obviously there are some trade offs. The strongest ranged is with SS and clearly Archery style benefits that - both directly and via the need for more Superiority dice spent on Precision (if going that route). Yet I agree with taking Defense instead... it just means the ranged isn't so powerful. There's also a bit of fiddliness with switching weapons. I played an Eldritch Knight and I have to say, when it comes to switching to javelins, being able to drop a weapon and bonus action it back to hand later is neat! Maybe Dual Wield longswords or battleaxes, going the Strength route? You need 15 for plate anyway, and the feat allows them. Carry a shield strapped to your back for tougher fights. [/QUOTE]
