Point, though I've been wanting to make Maria particularly prone to ending up in that situation.<br/><br/>I guess the main thing is that I want Maria to have a way to recover a couple key items (her sword and amulet) even when she is unable to recover the rest of her gear.  But that inevitably implies that either she has magic or the items themselves have magical properties.<br/><br/>Anyway, to avoid being too much of a pain in the ass with this I think I should just choose one proposal to present to the GM and see if he rejects it or not.  And I think I'm going to go with the idea I had for flipping the L1-3 progression on a Fighter/Eldritch Knight build.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Normal vs Flipped Progression</div><div class="spoiler_body">Standard Fighter/Eldritch Knight Progression<br/><br/><strong>Level One:</strong> Fighting Style, Second Wind<br/><strong>Level Two:</strong> Action Surge<br/><strong>Level Three:</strong> Spellcasting (2 slots), Bond Weapon<br/><br/>Proposed Modified Progression<br/><strong><br/>Level One:</strong> Spellcasting, Bond Weapon<br/><strong>Level Two:</strong> Action Surge<br/><strong>Level Three:</strong> Fighting Style, Second Wind<br/><br/>Note: I was going to limit L1 to one spell slot, but then realized Eldritch Knights don't get Arcane Recovery like Wizards do.</div></div><br/><br/>They should sync once they get to Level 3.  Her L1 character sheet using this modified progression would look something like this (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=919971). (Still have some flavor text to add.)
