This is base, without hex, manouver dice, etc. Meanwhile the Fighter WILL have better AC, hitpoints, and melee staying power (much better second wind, and so forth). The Ftr/Lock only has one ability boost (so 18 cha) so either his STR or CON will be bad. He will pull ahead a little further around level 14 but the difference is only another 2 damage per round. The lock can attack better at range, but the Fighter doesnt have to worry about disadvantage in melee. Also the fighter can be Mountain Dwarf or whatever which makes him even more durable than variant human in melee. Throw in Great Weapon Master for the Fighter and he is now a considerably better damage dealer and melee combatant overall, and hasnt slowed down his level progression to do it. Add in more feats (polearm master as well) and he completely eclipses the lock in melee combat.Think of it this way, which guy are you more likely to cast fly on to go fight the Dragon?If this guy wanted to do damage cheese through Eldritch Blast he probably should have gone for a SorcLock instead. His build is too MAD.</blockquote>
