I’ve recently jumped into a game of Dragonlance despite the fact that all I know of D&D stems from Solasta & the old Neverwinter Nights games. I came to play an Elf Fighter that I want to subclass to Echo Knight. The GM was so friendly to let me rethink my choice of cantrip, which I humbly seek to be advised on. My current favourite is Booming Blade, which I find mixes well with the ability to move out of the current melee by switching with the echo. It also scales in damage the same way I’d receive extra attacks, so I won’t be missing out on much damage in my view. What would you choose, and why?
Try it! Your ideas are sound and playing for a gimmick can be fun!
I’m about to start using a Fighter whose whole thing is shield bashing to shove enemies around and I expect it to be bad in most encounters.
I played a Ranger with Booming Blade and most of the time I didn’t use it, but when I did it was very satisfying.
