[QUOTE="Failedlegend, post: 7047169, member: 6678500"] Never viewed it that way, I've always viewed it as the path to more fluid character advancement/roleplaying, 5e seems to loathe multi-classing, as if the devs added it to satisfy the people who wanted it but they didn't really want it. Note: My characters rarely ever stick with my initial level break/classes I just break it down to see if the idea would work, they almost always adjust for story purposes, main reasons I actual plan to follow the initial plan this time is because I don't know the system very well and I doubt adventurer's league spends much time on "character development" like my home group would Much of your adventuring career the build you put forth will be weaker than a single classed character of equal level. You did avoid one of the big pitfalls of delaying ASIs/feats, but you are missing the level 5 power bump. Also with so many early feats your attack ability scores will fall behind what is the normal. Hmmm, I totally read it as "when you hit a creature you may expend a spell slot to deal radiant damage to your target" totally missed the "melee weapon" part...noted, still a good ranged option and still works on OAs thanks to Warcaster Oh, that's kind of dumb, short rest has always been like 5-10 mins. That really lessens Warlock's niche to nearly pointless, you'd be better off with a Sorc than, no? That is a big downside yes but I do know that Eldritch blast gets a second shot at Level 5 and I think other cantrips get a boost as well, of course once I pick up Polearm Master I can do 2 smites in a single attack, 3 once I get extra attack I don't think I can use Polearm master at all on an OA as it requires a bonus reaction, Warcaster is a "reaction" so it does mix nicely with Sentinel though...that said I am starting to wonder if an Eldritch Knight or Arcane Trickster suit this better mechanically but a single class lock might be better for this character.
