[QUOTE="mellored, post: 9528501, member: 6801209"] I didn't do any math on it. But you can snag Pact of the Blade at level 1 and multiattack with Cha a few levels. Yes, that's why in went Devotion. Sounds right. Though nothing requires a longsword. You could use also use a greatsword. No, because you will be trading away your smite to quicken. Though you still might want to use a shining smite to boost your allies. Or you might quicken Hypnotic Patter any of your other spells. it's a spell, uses your spell attack, and deals radiant damage. Checks all the boxes. And it's not going to be OP. As you mentioned, worse than multi-attack with a longsword. Nothing about Radiant Soul or says it needs to be a "warlock" spell. It will be a bit weak damage compared to a dedicated damage build. But you can stand next to a greatsword fighter, give him advantage with shining smite, help him make his save with your aura, and heal him when he drops. Plus get disguises self at-will, scout with a familiar, unseen servant, and plenty of other spells. No high level ones, but a lot to choose from and plenty of slots. And even a decent ranged attack. Good (not great) damage, very good defenses, good support, good utility. Ends up being pretty well rounded. [/QUOTE]
