I think it’s whether you want the temp hp to stack.

Murderhobos gonna murderhobo.

I think this really depends how you see the spear working. If its "bathe me in blood and I will grant you vigor," then why wouldn't squirrel (or chicken!) blood work? If its "I drain the life from your opponent and transfer it to you," then it seems like a squirrel wouldn't really have enough...

Well if you add dex to damage every round, that helps quite a bit.

I definitely read it as a one-time thing.

Probably not, they are both the same spell level and have similar baseline damage. Heat metal is just swingier, in that it is much more effective against an armor-wearing foe and less against a creature with no equipment. That said, Melf's is pretty weak for a 2nd level spell. You could use...

Goodness, I looked it up on twitter. Crawford seems to say that alchemists fire doesn't deal any damage at the time it hits, but you do add your dex to the fire damage every round. I see the logic but I wouldn't have thought of that...

I think the 1d4 impact is debatable... Acid says "Make a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the the acid as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 acid damage." That really sounds to me like the acid damage is used in place of the normal 1d4 bludgeoning damage...

Just to make the point that psychic scream is not unique here... we see similar mechanics in finger of death, immolation, and the gibbering mouther. I imagine there are more.

Proficiency in Con saves is a fine thing, but it sounds like you’ll be stretched a little anyways. You want crossbow expert and sharpshooter, plus you have both dex and cha worth maxing. And you lose an ASI from multiclassing. But you have to put the spare point somewhere, nothing wrong with Con.

I see... doesn't seem too unreasonable. Seems to synergizes a little better with the warlock spells than War does, but I don't think I'd have a problem.

I guess I don't know the zeal domain, what is it from?

Would you be unhappy with the war domain? I don't immediately see any conflicting issues for it.

IMO reskinning thunder and lightning to just psychic would be an appreciable upgrade, because of how thunderbolt strike and divine strike would interact. You'd probably want to do something about that. edit: Also while the domain spells don't seem to break anything, they also don't fit your...

If that's the dominant factor, you can solve it with variant human and magic initiate.

What domain would you want to play? War sounds appropriate, and I wouldn't expect any trouble combining that with the warlock spell list.

That isn't crazy, but the official ruling says no. Here is the Sage Advice explanation:

Are you thinking of a life cleric getting the domain spells here? I don't think magic initiate in itself is too bad, you only get one casting that way. And the lack of invocations makes EB a lot less potent; it's better than sacred flame, but I don't think its that much better. It's really the...

I think it would stay pretty much the same, but the character of the class would change from more support to more offensive. Would you still get the same domains spells? If so then I think life cleric might be borderline too good, since it would get most of the best cleric spells from its...
