Bladesinger is the other side, where you have a full caster who has a smattering of fighting. I feel like Psychic Warrior and Soul Knife (to a lesser degree) give you that first flavor and once we have more specifics, I have a hunch that the Metamorph is going to end up being the other end of their spectrum with the "full caster who has a smattering of combat". To be fair, I did not play 4e, skipped straight from 3rd to 5th, so I'm un-familiar with those classes or their abilities, and how the subclasses shakeout is a little weird relative to 3rd/4th allowing your 1st level decision to drive much of the flavor concept of a build. But honestly it's better than 3.x where we had to wait until 6th level to get our first level of PrC going. I'll take being a generic fighter for 2 levels over 5 levels any day from a concept building stand point. Digression: Green Flame blade should be the go to combat action for most EK as it's better than regular attack and once you get to 7th it's better than Extra attack because of how the cantrip scales and War magic giving you a 2nd attack as a bonus action.  Unless you're fighting something immune to fire that is I suppose.</blockquote>
