Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9191352" data-attributes="member: 7030563">It is not a design problem it is a player making poor build choice problem and then following those poor build choices with poor in-game choices.I posted earlier about a Drow Fighter I plan to play in a future campaign.  On point buy, at 8th level she will have a 20 Charisma and the following spells as single-classed fighter:Eldritch Blast (magic initiate)Green Flame Blade (magic initiate)Dancing Lights (Drow)Booming Blade (Eldritch Knight)Friends (EK)Cause Fear (magic initiate)*Hex (Fey Touched)*Faerie Fire (Drow)*Detect Magic (DHM)*Protection from Evil and Good (EK)Shield (EK)Absorb Elements (EK)Alarm (EK)Darkness (Drow)*Levitate (DHM)*Blur (EK)Rope Trick (EK)Dispel Magic (DHM)*All of the spells with a * are cast once a day for free except Detect Magic which is at will as an action.I plan to start with a Greatsword and a Warhammer as my backup and blind fighting fighting style (which pairs well with darkness).  I will see where the campaign goes though, maybe I will end up sword and board if we find a good shield or single-handed weapon (recognizing the conflicts with shield spell and Hex) and maybe I will switch to superior technique, defense dueling or something else later on.She will also have a Raven familiar (unless it dies between level 6 and 8) and proficency in Deception, Intimidation and Persuasion.That is all on a single-class fighter chassis.  I have not played this build before, maybe it will be the bomb, maybe it will be a dud, but on paper it looks darn promising and I can say for a fact whether it is great or it sucks I will have fun playing it.</blockquote>
