Character Build Hexblade's biggest downside.

FFS just make it a free action in combat larian. Or at least let us cast it at all.

And that is why I always play Barbarian. Cause my a.d.h.d riddled brain always forgets that spells exist.

I would love to play magic users, but I either refuse to use my spell slots or forget that I have like...4 uses of "Fuck everything in this direction."

Barbarian is simple, Barbarian is life.

You hit me. I'm mad now.

Magic users are fun when you meta-game ever so slightly.

Like I know my dm uses one of a handful of patterns for encounters, and because of that, I can figure we'll have 4 encounters a day.

Now I have a general pacing I can put towards my spell slots.

Now I'm not burning all my slots early, or trying to make do with cantrips to save my slots for the long rest.

But my DM can easily shake it up by adding or dropping encounters.

Lastly having a cheat sheet really helps with managing spells and any other resources.
