[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9249405, member: 2629"] I was speaking of quickening ... but from multiclassing. I apparently edited out the rest of the build. It was Gloomstalker to 5, Cleric of Order 1 (for 6), Divine Soul to 5 (for 11), Battlemaster to 4 (for 15), Assassin to 3 (for 18), then finished off with a couple Sorcerer levels (for 20). Those selections were all story driven and made sense for the PC ... but turned out to be ridiculously strong. Level 3 we get Gloomstalker for the second round 1 attack. 4 brought us Sharpshooter. 5 Gave us second level spells and Multiattack. 6 was Voice of Authority (with most of my spell slots going to healing word for high damage ally attacks). 7 gave me Silvery Barbs for granting bonus attacks by using my (and an ally's) reaction while saving damage. 9 gave me quicken which then allowed me to be far more versatile than the pure Cleric of Order. I'd use quickened Aid, Bless, Protection form Good/Evil, etc... All of this was while I was dealing high damage with the bow. At 11 I added Haste to the equation. After that, my spellcasting was fairly stable as I focused on enhancing the archery side of things with Battlemaster and Assassin until higher level. I have an alternate version of the build which is stronger and uses the Clockwork Sorcerer, but I will likely not get a chance to play it. [/QUOTE]
