[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 7620280, member: 59057"] I agree with the posters above. The concept is perfectly fine. DPR dows not say much about an effective character. If you were PHB only, it would be more difficult to keep up. With green flame blade and shadow blade you can probably keep your damage up high enough to be semi competitive. Only thing I'd advise would be taking a first level of fighter. You need constitution saves to keep your shadow blade uo and running. Rapiers are nice as is duelling fighting style. A shield comes in handy. So you will raise your offense and defense by 2 to 3 points. Because you rely on green flame blade you don't have to worry about losing high level slots too much. Especially since a warlock only gets regular slots up to level 5. My progression would be: Fighter 1 Warlock 1-5 Fighter 2. Or fighter 2 after warlock 3. If you later want to do more damage, adding a level of rogue does not hurt. With fighter 1 your race can be any. I'd probably go with half elf for flavour and useful stats. 16 dex, 16 cha and 14 con is impossible to beat. The only thing coming close might be an eladrin. +1charisma and +2 dex could let you start with 17 dex and 14 con 14 cha. That lets you take elven accuracy as your feat which combines nicely with shadow blade in shadows. [/QUOTE]
