As the title says, please add the Booming Blade and Green-Flame cantrips furing the early access. Currently the battlemaster overshadows the eldritch knight. I believe this is because no matter which party composition you choose there will be at least one spellcaster. This diminishes the utility of the eldritch knight as it doesn't bring anything unique to the table. Additionally the battlemaster does bring both more damage and utility to the table with its manuevers. In fact, the eldritch knight doesn't even gain any more damage than the battlemaster because it's cantrips are weaker than a normal weapon attack, and it's spells are weaker than a normal weapon attack. My suggestion on how to mitigate this problem is to grant the eldritch knight a different way to deal damage compared to the battlemaster. I believe the path of achieving this is to implement either or both of the booming blade and green-flame blade cantrips.

Agreed. Another good reason to remove dipping from the game -- at this point a candle takes the place of the martial cantrips.
