Originally, I started as a fighter, but could not decide on a Constitution-boosting stat that fit the character I was going for. Then I figured, what if I didn’t start as a fighter and took Resilient - Constitution?
My plan is to start Warlock from levels 1-5 and then take Fighter at level 6 once I’ve earned the major spells and abilities from being a Warlock.
Pros:
Free weapon (pact of the blade)
Stealth enabled
Less delay on spells and warlock features up to level 5
Extra save proficiency
Cons:
”Waste” money on Studded Leather
Can’t use scale mail or shield until level 6
Delayed fighting style
No constitution save proficiency until level 13
Am I making a mistake switching proficiencies around unnecessarily, or is there something to not delaying my first warlock stuff by one level.
I mean, just don’t buy studded armor if you think it will be a waste- an extra point of AC is nice but not really essential.
About the only reason to start as Fighter is for Heavy Armor, but anything that will actually outperform Medium/Armor of Shadows requires an STR investment as well, so it’s a question of if you think the stat spread is worth it.
I think it’s actually 2 AC, taking me from 12 to 14, but I see your point.
I forgot to mention too that I didn’t want a strength-based or heavy armor character, so that works. I‘m not positive whether or not it’s worth it to dump strength in favor of a dexterity build, but it’s what I feel my character would be like, so as long as it “works” well enough.
Thanks for your comment!
