All I have to go on is your descriptions, which are clearly just summaries.  There could very well be details that alter the degree of similarity, but since I have no access to them, I'm being conservative in my assertion.On the other hand, if you assert that those descriptions are fully complete, then you're confirming my statement, and discrediting your own dismissal further down your post.I really am surprised at you characterizing this build as "needlessly complex", given the background of comparing this to a 4E class.  Further, at this stage, it's less complex than the Eldritch Knight that it was framed on, so you characterizing it as such comes off as merely antagonistic for the sake of it.</blockquote>
