As the title says. Basically I want better saves.

Feats

Race Human or Elf (true strike elf or Magic initiate: wizard).

Origin. Guide (Magic Initiate Druid shillelagh+guidance)
Feats. Lvl 1-8
Warcaster
Fae Touched (hex)
Resilient; Wisdom
Duelist, weapon master prone+ranged one of your choice.

All EK spells are not attack roll based. Eg shield, jump etc.

Base damage. 1d10+7 force+1d6 necrotic,+ 1d6 radiant 1/round (+ action surge..

Warcaster didn't really needed if the DMs not to hard on VSM parts. Is for the S part, staff is your arcane focus.

Playtest one has +1 shield ad this weapon from BG3.

Cacophony - bg3.wiki

Cacophony is a rare +1 Quarterstaff that grants the wielder the Thunderous Smite spell.

I like these types of weapons vs vicious or flametongues.

I don't like Resilient Wisdom on this build when you get Indomitable one level later. You also do more damage than that at round 7 and 8 because you are getting Truestrike Plus an attack with each action.

There is also a good two-weapon fighting build in there using a club and scimitar.

With Warmagic you would truestrike with a scimitar, attack with your shillelagh club, nick with your scimitar. With Hex that would be a significant damage boost over a shillelagh and board. Your nick attack would be with strength so with a 16 and Hex you are looking at: 7d6+1d10+11 at level 7 with an 18 Wisdom and 16 Strength.
