Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fedifensor" data-source="post: 3213447" data-attributes="member: 7289">Sweeping Strike is nice, but it does rely on getting your foes adjacent to each other.Well, my first character for the campaign was a Warforged Warlock, but I eventually switched characters out because one of the players kept insisting it was broken.  The guy plays a Warforged Juggernaut that does tons of damage with a falcheon and Power Attack, so I'm not sure why he felt so threatened by my 4d6 Eldritch Blasts with Frightful Blast and Eldritch Spear blast invocations.  Maybe it was the Fell Flight...  My current character is a Human Sorcerer 6/Cleric 1/Silver Pyromancer 2 with the Heroic Spirit and Action Surge feats (he started out as a Sorcerer 6/Cleric 1 with no PrC when he first joined the group).  I just picked up a Lesser Metamagic Rod of Empower Spell.  Being able to dish out two fireballs in round 1 (doing [9d6 x 1.5] + 9d6 = 22 1/2d6 of fire damage) to everyone in a 20' radius puts my Warlock to shame.  And since I started out with nothing outside of the core rules and the ECS, I can't be blamed for using a new, unbalanced WotC book.  I'd be just as deadly (perhaps moreso) as a pure Sorcerer 9 with the same feats - at least the Silver Pyromancer has picked up Cure Light Wounds as a 1st level sorcerer spell to help the party out.Anyway, I've created the Kalashtar Warblade in case the same player complains about my sorcerer, or if my character dies in the next adventure (since we take turns DMing, and it's that player's turn to DM for us).  Since my other characters have been caster-types, I'm going to see if he complains when I use a melee character.  If he still complains...I'll find another campaign.I have to say that as much fun as I'm having with the sorcerer, I think I'd have even more fun with the Warblade.  It would be a nice change of pace to be in the thick of things instead of being the glass cannon blasting from the rear of the party.  The only reason I haven't played a melee character before now is that the options for fighters were rather sparse.  I much prefer a maneuver-based character who can alter his capabilities for different battles instead of using the same feat combos over and over again.</blockquote>
