[QUOTE="Nikioko, post: 7351205, member: 6936904"] Could you please post ability score and proficiencies/spells you have so far? Otherwise people can give you just some general suggestions: pick non-warlock cantrips for your Book of Shadows (e.g. Shillelagh for melee, shocking grasp to get out of melee without provoking an attack of opportunity, green-blame blade when you are in melee with more than one opponent). Since you only have few spell slots, don't bother taking AoE spells, your cantrips should do, of which you get Sacred Flame for free (nice to finish off undead), Eldritch blast as your standard attack (strongly recommended) and Shocking Grasp (see above) as a melee spell attack. And that's enough. Use your other slots for utility cantrips (mending can be VERY nice if you don't want to buy new clothes all the time, also Blade Ward can be a help when you are really in the mess). As for the spells: since you don't need combat spells (see above), take Spells that either enhance your damage (like Hex on Eldritch blast), halp you to survive long enough (Cure Wounds is great, since it is always cast on the highest level, but also Misty Step, Invisibility and Mirror Image can be very helpful when you are overpowered), otherwise concentrate on utility spells (cave: if those spells are rituals, take them into your tome instead; on very few occasions time matters to cast a Detect Magic or Comprehend Language): Dispel Magic, Hypnotic Pattern, Fly and that sort of are great.
