[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 7490608, member: 1095"] You mentioned having to find an IC way to make a pact with a patron, Fiend is best for melee, especially with your Cha. Would you not also have to find a Gloomstalker to train you on how to evade darkroom and see in the dark etc as well? Not sure why one would be easier than another IC if your DM is willing to work with you? That being said, I always prefer versatility over focus so I would go with something that gives you more spells like Warlock... or even Shadow sorcerer. But then half of my PC’s have Magic Initiate just because spells. But I’m always for story first! A Shadow Sorcerer would be the easiest to MC onto IC’ly since it could be explained by your existing ties to shadow through the Monk subclass. It awakens something in your blood that you didn’t know before but also explains why you were drawn to the way of shadow.
