Okay so my current campaign is coming to an end in the next couple of months and I want to have a couple characters ready for whatever we play next.

My favourite playstyle is Gish, leaps and bounds by far! I’m a turbo fan of “guy who swings a sword with some killer spells to unleash”. I’ve considered Eldritch knight for a while but it seems very dependent on good stat rolls. I DID toy with a Hexblade EK a couple of years ago in a one shot, but I’m not sure how that translates to 5.5 (likely fighter 1, warlock POTB 1 then all fighter). But I wanna hear what else there is out there!

Edit: To add some details that I’ve since been asked. I’m looking for class features like the EK/BS/VB replace an attack with a cantrip. Or being able to quicken spell a bit is cool too.

Marked as 5.5 but the question works for any edition.

A personal example would be that I am always drawn to the most bog standard “good guy adventurer who does good simply because it’s what a hero does”. All but one of my characters have just wanted to do good in the world, be the pure hearted shounen protagonist (without the anime voice to be clear).

Oh and dual wielding, ever since playing KH2 as a kid I cannot refuse dual wielding. But that’s not an archetype on its own.
