[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7287238, member: 58197"] Interesting question. Normally fighter is the dip class (for that sweet, sweet Action Surge). If you're playing a fighter but dipping something else, and only dipping a single level... hmm. You make a solid case for the forge cleric. It does depend on how generous your DM is with the magic items, though. The stingier your DM, the better the forge cleric dip becomes. To get the most out of the dip, play an eldritch knight, so you have more spell slots to play with. A fighter who can cast [I]shield[/I] in combat is a scary thing. Rogue is an excellent dip for a Dex fighter. You get Expertise and +1d6 damage on your first attack each round. But I think it's possible to do better. Here's my pick: Hexblade warlock. [I]Hex[/I] and Hexblade's Curse both stack fearsomely with the fighter's ability to attack six bazillion times per round, and they refresh on a short rest, so you'll have at least one of them up most fights. If you go eldritch knight, you can use your EK slots to cast [I]hex[/I] as well. The best part is that Hexblade's Curse does not require concentration, so you can stack it with [I]hex[/I]. If you really want to go to town on an enemy, you can Curse that enemy on the first round, whack it twice with Extra Attack, then on the second round cast [I]hex[/I] and Action Surge to attack four times with a bonus 1d6+3 damage per hit. And after a short rest, it all recharges and you can do it again. [/QUOTE]
