The feat, in regard of polearms, allows you to do so as a bonus action, I don't see why you should wrinkle your nose up to this one ^^You're not spending 2 feats for the sole purpose to do this combo. Magic initiate helps you in 3 aspects of the game rather than just one like many other feats could do (e.g. sentinel would push you down the field control one). I wasn't even looking at MI when I've first chosen polearm master, I was going for Sentinel! Then I've changed mind when I found myself very strong on the battle control and very weak in all other compartments and then replaced it with a "wider" feat <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Shillelagh is just an extra 1 damage per swing (3.5 for a d6, 4.5 for a d8) but it's magic damage, which bypasses standard damage resistance (which apparently most of our foes have, these past encounters -.- )Honestly the whole spell slot thing was just greediness. ^^'druids aren't good first liners with my DM (FYI I'm a druid right now) and I'm not making the cut. Everything was just fine up to level 4th, now I simply can't keep up with the pressure. Druids are stuck with only 2 shapeshifts per short rest and are not efficient first liners as humans (i'm topping a respectable 18ac and i'm getting my ass handed to myself more often than not) and since we can't short rest more than twice per day (DM ruling) I can't keep up with the 5-8 encounters per short rest pace our DM expects us to keep. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, perhaps he's pushing too much, I can't say, but our sorcerer and monk seem to be fine with it, so apparently it's my issue, not theirs :|</blockquote>
