We are playing in the Neverwinter city setting to start and I will be playing an Eldritch Archer which is a slight alteration to the Eldritch Knight. http://richplayingitforward.blogspot.com/2014/11/5th-edition-builds-eldritch-archer.html
When I choose my Cantrips/Spells I need to be aware of what will translate well into the EA's War Caster ability.
If you use your weapon bond on a ranged weapon and that weapon is in your hand, you may spend a bonus action whenever you cast a cantrip to imbue one piece of ammunition with the cantrip's arcane power. As a part of the bonus action you may fire the piece of ammunition at any target or location within the weapon's range. If the spell requires an attack roll, the attack is rolled normally for the ranged weapon using Strength or Dexterity as appropriate, not your spell casting ability.
Obviously I don't need to worry about Spell Attack rolls because the cantrip goes off If I hit the target. I understand that, once reaching lvl 5, that most times I will be better off just using my extra Attack but I also wish to have cantrips that I can cast with a Bow Shot that will set me up to win.
Taking Magic Initiate could be an option @lvl 4 so we can look at those options as well
Any suggestions???
