I’ve recently jumped into a game of Dragonlance despite the fact that all I know of D&D stems from Solasta & the old Neverwinter Nights games. I came to play an Elf Fighter that I want to subclass to Echo Knight. The GM was so friendly to let me rethink my choice of cantrip, which I humbly seek to be advised on. My current favourite is Booming Blade, which I find mixes well with the ability to move out of the current melee by switching with the echo. It also scales in damage the same way I’d receive extra attacks, so I won’t be missing out on much damage in my view. What would you choose, and why?

Booming Blade or Green Flame Blade are the best for Fighter in combat since they use your weapon stats to attack. You could also choose something not for combat since you will already be very good at combat anyway, and fighters usually don't have as much utility outside of fights. Good utility cantrips are Mage Hand, Mold Earth, Shape Water, Prestidigitation, Minor Illusion, and Mending. Those are in no particular order but Mold Earth and Shape Water are my personal favourites.

    I did not think of that, thanks. Prestidigitation sound really fun, but since we have a kender Bard and a Highelf mage in the party already, I believe there will be a great lot of magic shennanigans going on without me chipping in.
