[QUOTE="Noble, post: 7017698, member: 6872991"] I'm currently playing a Bladesinger/Eldritch Knight. I wanted a Magus sort of half caster, half fighter. Overall, less optimized than straight Bladesinger, but there are a number of fun things I got from EK. Fighting Style for either +1 AC or +2 to damage, Second Wind is a nice a little heal for a bonus action, War magic lets me combine the power of Green Flame Blade with Extra Attack, but the real cherry on this sundae is Action Surge. Should I cast spell A, or spell B? Why not both? Used properly at the beginning of an encounter, you can quickly change a difficult battle into a walk in the park. As a side note, keep a shield handy for when you don't have any Bladesong left. I don't think Mage Armor is necessary though thanks to light armor proficiency. It's the difference between 12+Dex for studded leather and 13+Dex for Mage Armor. +1 isn't all that great for a spell slot. I'd rather save the slot to fuel an additional use of Shield, which is my favorite spell for this character. I had no problem tanking an adult white dragon at around... I think it was lvl 6 or 7. If you are going for tanky as hell, I'd like to drop the idea of a Goliath Bearbarian. AC=10+Dex+Con+2(shield). It maxes out at 22 AC, but then you gain resistance to all forms of damage except psychic from bear totem rage. But not done yet, as the totem is not the only bear I'm talking about. 2 levels in Circle of the Moon Druid nets you a killer Brown Bear form. This basically gives you a second health bar and you can spend spell slots as a bonus action to heal itself. Since you retain the benefits of your classes, you are now a large sized Raging Brown Bear with 20 AC and 19 Str. And Goliath allows you to shrug off damage as well. Plus, the synergy of Bear Totem and Goliath's Powerful Build means you could lift a house... maybe... either way, you can drop very large heavy things on enemies. [/QUOTE]
