[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9254981, member: 7030563"] I agree, but even at 50% of the time, my accuracy and DPR is ahead of a single class Paladin. Also key in this is it is not just advantage, it is Elven accuracy. Agreed, and I did not consider that. The multiclass character could have that as well, albeit it is not as effective as she is only making 1 attack a round. TBH I am probably using defense though. Sure, worst case, but how often is this really going to happen? It is 5 uses per short rest, you can't possibly use it unless you hit with an attack, you only get one of those a round and you wouldn't logically use it if the battle was more or less over. I have played a single class Whisper Bard before and after 8th level (when I got a 20 charisma) I don't think I ever ran out of Psychich Blades when I wanted it. That character was using spells more than this one will be, but after bard 5, I think it is going to be rare that I start a fight without Psychic Blades available. I think it is far more likely I will run out of spell slots for smite and even more likely that a single class Paladin would run out. Or use steady aim and shoot him with a crossbow for 1d10+2d6+3. Admittedly down on damage either way. And I agree I will have these kinds of rounds, but I will also have much higher damage rounds. Enough that I think I will average more damage overall. I think I am probably using plate only until/unless I have Warcaster (possibly level 14 if I don't take a Dex ASI at that level). [/QUOTE]
