[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9675920, member: 7030563"] Yeah that is an option, the issue is boosting your attack stat cuts into your save DC although it is an option, Truestrike enables you to concentrate on Intelligence. It also affords both ranged and melee attacks with Warmagic. To circle back to the original start of this thread, my chagrin with 2024 EK is that I could not dump intelligence, dip Warlock and use Charisma-based Cantrips with War Magic. That is really ideal for an EK IMO. Get a pact weapon and you get a blade cantrip and truestrike on Charisma. Also get feat-based Charisma save spells for using with Eldritch Strike and use your EK slots to fuel them. Get spells with EK that does not rely on intelligence (Absorb Elements, Shield, Identify etc). In any case the DM I wanted to play this with ruled "Wizard Cantrips" and "Wizard spells" are any spell that is on the Wizard list regardless of how you got it. So Truestrike through Magic Initiate-Charisma or Green Flame Blade through Warlock are "Wizard Cantrips", but Starry Wisp or Eldritch Blast aren't. As a result I am planning an EK/Warlock. I am going to go Fighter 1/Warlock 1/Fighter 3/Warlock 2 then Fighter until at least level 13. I am also planning on picking up Agonizing Green Flame Blade and using it with War Magic, along with Truestrike from Magic Initiate.
