===Striker Builds===
'''1. 5 Paladin + 5 Warlock + 2 Fighter:''' Probably the strongest pure striker class in the game, this build utilizes a ''possibly'' unintended interaction between '''Improved Pact''' '''Pact of the Blade''' Warlocks and the Extra Attack class feature from other striker classes.  Currently, this combination of '''Improved Pact''' and '''Extra Attack''' allows a character to make a weapon attack three times per action, and naturally scales further with other sources of bonus actions.  While you can do this with classes other than Paladin, like Bard, Paladin offer the greatest single target burst damage due to Divine Smite, which does extra damage to fiends and undead, which happen to be a good number of enemies and bosses in this game. While you are going to be using your spell slots almost purely for extra damage, you can throw in a Hold Person for guaranteed crits.  If you use Bind Weapon, you can dump strength and completely focus on Charisma for better spell accuracy.  I wanted to include this build just for fun, but it's not a very "good" spellblade.
