[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 7483093, member: 6677017"] I normally stick fairly closely to the original design parameters, but this one might actually work very well for the OP under two conditions: 1) The important theme is warlock (preferably single-classed) focused on a staff, rather than the official Pact of the Blade 2) The OP is okay with the character splitting up their damage between two adjacent opponents The combination negates the need for Strength entirely, and eliminates Polearm Master from the equation. Your Charisma works for magic and attacks now, and the only other stat you need is a Dexterity of 14. This frees up multiple ASIs, which you could plow into Constitution and Tough. AC 17 (not bad) and tons of hp is actually ideal for [I]armor of Agathys[/I], which can only do its job when you get hit. You can actually put out 10 points more damage per round, but not all to one target due to [I]green flame blade[/I]. Pretty nice, unless it is important to you to be able to focus all your melee fury on a single opponent. [/QUOTE]
