[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 9535388, member: 15882"] To follow up from some previous posts, I got to use EK this weekend. Started at 4th. Dumped INT, boosted CHA. Human feat gave me Magical Initiate and took Shillelagh, Starry Wisp and fog Cloud keyed off of CHA Took Fey touched with hex and Misty step. All EK spells were support spells with no saves so the dumped INT was not an issue. How it played: Pretty awesome. With the boosted charisma and proficiency in lots of social skills, I was the main Face. Nobody was quite sure what class I was. I always had a good spell to help out the party. I took Blind fighting, which offered 10 foot blindsight and, a couple of times, I dropped fog cloud on groups of enemies(as someone on the forum suggested I try) and, between hex and shillelagh, it was easy to mop the floor. Very versatile for a single class EK. I missed not having some INT skills but the wizard picked up most of the missing pieces. I could have done the fog cloud Shillelagh trick with INT as easily as CHA but having the added social pillar covered was really nice. The party kept calling me a bard but the fighter abilities were so much nicer than you'd get from a straight bard. Getting to use second wind to add 1d10 to skill checks is a huge bonus - especially since we were doing a heist game. Great build. [/QUOTE]
