I would have made a fully different character. However I planned on being a book lock with a chain familiar if it matters.If your DM had said You COULD take pact boons cantrips as extra cantrips with slots, what ones would you have swapped?

Good catch. But I picked poison spray for the fact that I like d12s and toll the dead is not in the game yet.Sideline suggestion: Message can be covered by a L5 Pact of the Chain with the familiar sending the message. Poison Spray as a short range cantrip loses out to the Pact Blade.
I think it's literally impossible to not take Book lock without self-nerfing if you can drop a normal cantrip for it; you get two normal cantrips in its place. I think it's hard to find a cantrip that's remotely worth the Chain, especially at level 5. And blade? If you already have Eldritch Blast and Agonizing Blast (or Tome) it's a useful second combat cantrip but is very much optional.I would have made a fully different character.

Assuming the familiar is in combat they turn visible and can't turn invisible because they only ever use the dodge or attack actions.Go chain.
Take gaze of two minds.
Stand at the entrance of the dungeon while your familiar sneaks in, cast spells from it's invisible space.
If it dies, summon another and repeat.
much better then targeting a player and staying back and useing gaze to attackGo chain.

Dodging and running still works just fine. You can win against any melee that way.Assuming the familiar is in combat they turn visible and can't turn invisible because they only ever use the dodge or attack actions.
Yeah as cool as the new gaze is I can't see it making it to print. Literally the warlock could sit back in a lawn chair, be completely safe, yet provide its full suite of offense in a fight, by having spells come out of one of the other characters. That's just really crazy good.much better then targeting a player and staying back and useing gaze to attack
