[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9542867, member: 7030563"] That will work, but I think it is far from ideal. I think if you are going Sword and Board over level 1-20 the best Fighter play is Eldritch Knight for the Cantrip Damage bonus. Also Sentinel works, but on a sword and board I think Shield master is better as your first feat for just about any build and Warcaster is better if you go Eldritch Knight. Then take Sentinel as your second feat. Also Topple is good, but Sap is usually better on a sword and board and it works better with the Sentinel feat as well. If you hit an enemy with the Sentinel reaction you give him disadvantage automatically with Sap. With Topple he gets a save, and even if he fails the save, most of the time he has enough movement to just stand back up. Topple tends to work better on maximum damage builds. There is no reason you can't do both though, have both a longsword and a Trident and switch out based on situation and at level 9 fighter you can use Sap with any weapon. [/QUOTE]
