And since Thirsting Blade doesn't stack with the Fighter EA, you can go Tome or Chain instead of Blade, both of which are better.
#3 Lilika Jun 24, 2015 12:23:49	Good point on the extra attacks not stacking.  For some reason I thought that extra attacks don't stack with non fighter classes, but that a fighters extra attack would stack with other classes extra attack.

With a crit on 19-20 w/ advantage, you have nearly a 1 in 5 chance to crit. Quite powerful.   Lot's of sources for it. One that you are already setup for is casting darkness centered on yourself paired with the warlock's devil's sight. There are some obvious downsides for your team of course.

#7 BurgerKingMan Jun 24, 2015 21:10:17	If you allow UA I would reccomend paladin 2 / sorcerer (favored soul) 18. Quicken a hold person / monster then procceed to use you two attacks to crit - smite the everloving crud out of whatever creature gets in your way.
