[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 8023709, member: 6855259"] Thanks. All good points and I get what you are saying. I use a shortsword most of the time, not a rapier, so damage would be a point less than you noted already. The other thing is the 3rd level spell slot means Hex lasts 8 hours vice 1 hour. Since it is usually less than 8 hours between short rests, I can pretty much always have hex active (unless I fail a concentration save). With a 3rd level warlock it would usually only last 1 battle, maybe two in a stretch. So I think that makes up for the damage difference I think. I am also not taking an ASI, I will take a feat. Most likely one of the following: elven accuracy, lucky, sentinel or sharpshooter (I already will have alert). I don't have EB yet and I don't think I am going to get it because to make it worthwhile I would need agonizing blast. I have neither of these right now, so to get both I would need to go to level 5 anyway (level 4 for the cantrip, level 5 for the invocation). With EB and AB, the warlock can pretty much keep up with the sneak attack damage regardless of the level I stop at but to be honest that is not what I really want from a role play perspective.
