Hi all,
I have very much appreciated the discussion on these forums and would love to put forth a build I am planning on playing for critique. So, some context. I rolled the stats (pretty good ones). We are starting at Level 5 which is the example I have below; I would guess the campaign will go until 12-14th level. I envision this character being in the front-lines as a gish using spells and a high Con to stay up-front. My DM is also allowing me to use the Shadow Blade as my Pact Weapon for Hexblade so I can use my CHA for attacking and damage with it (We know it isn't RAW, but he agreed with me the fluff is cool and although powerful it isn't game breaking). Also, my DM is allowing anything UA, so my Sorcerer levels are the Favored Soul Original version. I would keep taking Sorcerer levels the rest of the way to keep almost full casting progression and the extra attack at Sorcerer level 6.
Please let me know your thoughts; thank you again!
