[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9597444, member: 7030563"] I would not be Eldritch Blasting on a 1st level Warlock built for durability, in fact I would dump Charisma and use a crossbow which does more damage. I agree that ranged PCs are not always safely in the back, but I think they will be attacked less often than someone closer to the front, enough less that they will be more durable considering they have better action economy, comparable abilities to make themselves difficult to hit and relatively close hit points and AC. I actually gave a number above and said I think he would probably be attacked 15 times in 10 rounds of combat in 2-3 battles at 1st level. Do you think that number is off? The question was most Durable while doing decent damage output. A Rogue who hides at level 1 would do no damage. At 2nd level though, a Halfling Rogue who could use Cunning action to hide behind an ally without being fully obscured would certainly be a decent option. 2nd level is a lot more difficult than first though because there are a lot more class abilities that come into play (like Cunning Action). I think several classes would be more durable than a Warlock can be at 2nd level, a Halfling Rogue being one of those. [/QUOTE]
