Can a Knight use an eldritch blast as a Ranger?
Perpetually annoyed that Eldritch Knights can’t use Eldritch Blast, Eldritch Smite, and Eldritch Sight. Not more actions – a ranger using a stronger two-handed weapon gets the same number of actions as a two-weapon fighting ranger who only gets to use one of their weapons.
