Peaks between 3rd and 5th level. Warlocks in general are very front loaded.

Did you post this on reddit?

I thinking dex based dual wielding Paladins splash.

My bhaal obe in trying to tweak the assassin to CR 13. This one I'm using the archpriest as a template. That's CR12. I tweaked the spell list slightly. Im comparing my version to things I've CR 17 deathknight, CR21 Arch hag. Think mines weaker than both.

Armor of Agathys is kinda meh imho unless you're running stoneskin or are fiendpact. That's the other issue of bladelocks. Cast Agathys vs control vs Spirit Shroudvs Eldritch smite or whatever. Hell aid if you are celestial. Hence my play a Paladin comment it's just easier than bladelock...

Xan you check the CR8 5.5 assassin and see what your calculator suggests. 5.0 one was a complete joke I had lvl 8 PCs defeat CR21.

Chaon pact build ove been eyeing up for a whole is quasit+ summon undead. Once the familiar becomes eh focus more on control. I allowed a 2014 race for medium armor. You also kinda need 13 strength as lack of shield proficiency means two handed weapon is kinda almost mandatory...

Dragons are dealing very little damage for their CR. They're kinda crap. CR 6 critter have cone of cold Thus things spells are about CR 12 archpriest. Damage is CR12 base. I added legendary actions and the reaction smite. CR8s are 1d6+ 5d6 poison+4 with 3 attacks. That's 18d6 sage +12...

Aware. Smite+Eldritch smite if needed.

Anything with a bad wisdom save if it's lucky will get 1 round of actions. On Sunday a CR13 nalfeshnee demon got 1 round. If had 3 night bags for support. High encounter new rules. If it's humanoid it has to dodge hold person. Non humanoid hold monster or comnand halt. Often as bonus...

Are you using old rules? New monsters are a lot tougher. I used a CR 22 critter and added legendary actions and 1 attack+spell. Old critter had 3 attacks. Go look at a new CR 24 or 25 critter for comparison. Sanity check 3 attacks 1d6×4+5d6 damage.

CR 24 new rules is beyond them. They might get CR19 or 20. They took down CR17 5.5 at 9. Im running encounters RAW 5.5 xp buckets. Page q12 or 115 iirc DMG. 5 person party sometimes 6. Magic items fairly close to DMG suggestions.

The monsters i modified had unstoppable at CR5 and murder aura. CR 17 new rules is a death knight for comparison. Im thinking of lowering poison to 5d6 or removing the 4th attack. CR8 has same attack at 5d6 poison no Murder aura. I'm thinking if overturned the damage though. Poison...

Probably paladin armor and shields. As bladelock really tempted to MC out after 12. Wife's one is a gith with a silver sword. She wanted racial weapons and medium armor (2015 gith iirc).

I've been looking at celestial 6/paladin 3 for that.
