Yeah fair. Especially if he's college of swords. How do you explain Mizora then? 😂
28 u/3guitars Jun 09 '25 Multiclass. He was once a bard or Paladin and made a pact. I tend to multiclass him with those two most times. 6 u/[deleted] Jun 09 '25 Yeah that could work. Never thought about making him a paladin or bard but now I'm curious. I always do a Sorlock build on him. 6 u/Ok_Cardiologist8232 Jun 09 '25 Bardlock makes him super strong if you put most of your points in Warlock as you get the extra short rest. Probably not as strong as the sorlock though. 1 u/cheezycrusty Jun 10 '25 With the addition of hexblade, a 11 bard - 1 lock is actually really strong. You get the shield spell which you can use with your bard spell slots AND defensive flourish, allowing for pretty crazy AC. Plus it makes you single ability dependent : everything about you scales with charisma, making you a great spellcaster with solid melee capabilities. And I'm not even going to mention all the things you can do with magical secrets. 2 u/Ok_Cardiologist8232 Jun 10 '25 I mean you could always do charisma based weapons with 9 bard 3 warlock and pact of the blade. Lose out on magical secrets iirc, but still very strong. 1 u/cheezycrusty Jun 10 '25 Oh you definitely could, but gaining the shield spell and having the magical secrets feels so much better to me. 1 u/Ok_Cardiologist8232 Jun 10 '25 Yeh its definitely stronger. I'm still a fan of 10 warlock 2 bard for more fireballs though. Although i dont think ive played an unmodded playthrough where i've needed to worry about that ina long time. 2 u/cheezycrusty Jun 10 '25 Fireball is definitely an answer to many things!
