[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 9529279, member: 15882"] These two posts seem to agree and making the character sheet in D&D Beyond seems to backup that you have to track all your cantrips from various sources separately. Just to filter and condense what people have been talking about so far so I can get it straight in my brain. 1. According to the other first two posts quoted, You have to track all cantrips separately. If you take two instances of Mind Sliver - one from your 8 INT EK (chosen from the wizard spell list) and one from 17 charisma Warlock, each casting of those will have a different 'to hit' bonus. There doesn't seem to be any debate here. Seems pretty clear and I'm pretty sure this is how it always worked. 2. There's lots of reasons to drop INT on a EK but it surely isn't required. One of which is to boost CHA or WIS for mutli-classing, another is to create an interesting Face with high CHA. If you do so, you need to track spell sources. 3. There is still debate as to whether you can only use EK cantrips for EK abilities like War Magic. To go further, there's still debate whether you can use Wizard cantrips/spells for War Magic if they weren't given to you specifically by the EK subclass. If they were, say, given to you by taking a level of wizard or Origin feat, they might not be eligible. 4. There is still a debate on stacking various stat bonuses when multi-classing which isn't specific to EK but effects many builds with EK. Have I missed anything? [/QUOTE]
