[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9475598, member: 6801845"] There are so many cool spells you can cast that don't focus on damage as well. Lean into your fighter abilities for damage, spells for control and distraction. You get weapon masteries and can summon weapons as a bonus action, so do something like get a heavy crossbow to push enemies away 10 feet or get a light crossbow to slow them down. Maybe take two weapon fighting style, crossbow expertise and hand crossbows*. For spells there are so many options that don't do damage. Shield is an obvious one but hideous laughter, color spray or even old standbys like grease could give you a bit of control. Depending on campaign I'd consider color spray. Heck, I'd probably be wasting all my money on scrolls because there are just so many cool things you could do when you don't have to be concerned about relying on spells for damage. Dang. Now I have yet another build I'll probably never get a chance to play. :mad: *Not needing a free hand to reload really bugs me but if we're going for cheese, why not? [/QUOTE]
