[QUOTE="Anonymous3, post: 9731155, member: 7046807"] A fighter1 dip is a "no-brainer" here, if you looking for increased power. This is why I said I didn't want to engage with it. I have been to level 15 twice in my years of playing DnD so thinking past this level requires more energy. I'll pass on that challenge for now and consider level 10 only. Apologies, I should have been upfront as it would have narrowed the discussion a little. That said, Lend Faith (9th) is good - better than Warlock dip? I'm not sure. The Herald/Fighter MC can produce various combinations that I hadn't considered before. For instance, if you're trying to get access to more Maneuvers then you'll want more fighter; more spells then more Herald. It could be argued that higher degree maneuvers are worth the loss in Herald - I'm seeing it this way. After Herald6 it is hard for me to stay in the class just because of how many "goodies" I can get dipping out - Maneuvers are just a lot of fun. Additionally, you can get access to more power via [URL='https://a5e.tools/node/3722']Brute[/URL] but then you're trading exertion for more damage at the cost of not using Maneuvers. If that is the case, then is there a better way to gain more damage? In O5e the only time I ever saw [URL='https://a5e.tools/spell/divine-favor']Divine Favor[/URL] get cast was when someone else put up [URL='https://a5e.tools/spell/bless']Bless[/URL]. If the Herald is "responsible" for the latter, then I thought perhaps the level one Warlock dip was worth it. This felt more worthwhile for a TWF Herald. Regarding, [URL='https://a5e.tools/spell/protection-evil-and-good']PfGaE[/URL], I think that frightened and charm have come up often. In fights where we were unlucky, frightened TPK'd us twice - in two different campaigns. Very anecdotal though. [/QUOTE]
