[QUOTE="Kilgore Trout, post: 6853747, member: 6819364"] Appreciate everyone's input, especially the bit about levels in Wizard and the EK guide. I am still toying with my EK build, thinking of either going with a DEX-based gnome or a STR-based Half-Orc. Here are my thoughts on Half-Orc...open to suggestions! Also, since this is for AL, I can only go with EE or SCAG, not both, hence the reasoning behind my spell selection. Still have some spells to figure out. Also couldn't figure how to take the odd numbered stat to my advantage... Also not sure if I'm taking levels in Wizard but the build below does not have any Wizard levels. If I took any, it would likely be after 11 per another suggestion on this board. Race - Half-Orc Class - EK Fighter S – 17 D – 10 C – 15 I – 14 W – 10 Ch – 8 Defense Fighting Style Feats 4 – +1 STR / +1 CON or Great Weapon Master 6 – +1 STR / +1 CON or Great Weapon Master 8 – Resilient - Wisdom 12 - +2 INT 14 - +2 STR 16 - +2 CON 19 - +2 INT EK Cantrips – Not sure, actually, given that I won't be taking anything from SCAG. Open to suggestions. Spells @: Level 3 – Shield, Protection from Evil, ???? Level 4 – Absorb Elements Level 7 – Shatter or Scorching Ray Level 8 – Hold Person Level 10 – Darkness or Gust of Wind or Melf’s Acid Arrow Level 11 – same as above or maybe another Level 1 spell Level 13 – ???? Level 14 – Haste Level 16 – ???? Level 19 – Fire Shield Level 20 - Polymorph Thank you! KT [/QUOTE]
