[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7482155, member: 6689161"] Your feedback and suggestions sound good, spell and invocation selection in particular. I did have one idea which I hope is not cheesy. If I see the character as a herald/prophet, one level of bard might not be too much of a stretch perhaps. I am really thinking about this. Here, I could take disguise self and the equivalent of misty visions. Likewise, I could take detect magic and comprehend languages and cast them as rituals. The shield and staff do sort of bother me. And quarterstaff is largely a flavor choice with polearm master later to make him able to fight as I am ignoring (likely) eldritch blast entirely. I want to be an ambassador social skill master who can really fight when all else fails. I agree with you on invocations but might take fiendish (angelic!) vigor for a couple early levels only. I loses its appeal later I agree. I am staying away from devils sight and darkness primarily for thematic reasons and resources are limited afterall too. I want to use light and later daylight if I must! I think my biggest struggle now after seeing everyone's suggestions is the whole armor class and hit point issue. Really thinking about moderately armored level one but with a staff, no shield and questionable dexterity this is an issue. That is why I really thought hard about tomb of levistus. A shield spell could be good, and a level of divine sorcerer would be thematic, but then I am struggling to get utility spells. Bottom line: I like the theme but it is hard hard hard to do something other than EB spam without losing most utility. As it is, there are not enough melee centric invocations! Its a hard row to hoe.
