      One level of warlock buys you eldritch blast and mask of many faces.

      One level of artificer buys you the ability to cast cure wounds with your spellslots, and the ability to use medium armour.

      They’re real popular splashes.

        so if i understood that correctly… basically if you dont multiclass you’ll be worse than others of the same class

        does mean its never a good choice to play stricly as one class? or at least that there are classes that gain more than they lose from going off course?

      is bardlock a mix of bard and warlock?

      Yes

      why is everything a warlock in dnd?

      It multiclasses well, two levels for agonising repelling blast, plus a subclass feature, and then you can pick any charisma caster.

      Next campaign, I want to roll a bardbarian inspired by Eddie Riggs of Brutal Legend. Stat spread would be abysmal but worth it.

    I accidentally made a rom-com subplot in one of my games… Twice… And the players loved it both times.

    The first time there was a divorced smith lady who sort of had a death wish, and the timid tavern owner who had a massive crush on her. Of course the players wanted to set them up.

    The second time, the players had to infiltrate a masquerade ball. Sadly I’m starting to forget the details. I think there was tension around meeting them while masked and, like a rom com, trying to figure out what they thought about the PC. And then they tried to get the NPC involved in their heist, because they just happened to have a skill they needed. And of course it wasn’t a clean heist, and the NPC had some trauma.
