My main is a polearm master half-orc and I’ve been loving the extra reach and bonus action hit. I’ve slapped two items on him that set intelligence and dexterity to fixed values which has countered my two dump stats. Recently I found an invisible glaive which gives advantage in combat until you miss a strike. It’s fantastic.
I’ve also been really enjoying Wyll with pact of the blade. Having the ability to just eldritch blast from a distant or get into melee range is great. My only issue is I normally forget to bind his weapon after a long rest and I’m using a short sword he isn’t normally proficient with.
I'm having the same experience with Wyll; love Pact of the Blade both mechanically and thematically, but needing to rebind his weapon every time I long rest is very annoying
