Hey Guys!
I've been wanting to play a HexBlade Warlock ever since it came out (and I've wanted to play Warlock since I first saw the D&D 5th Edition), but since I usually DM and a Warlock didn't fit the one campaign I got to play it, I haven't had the opportunity...until now! =)
Recently I got into a Curse of Strahd game where the group had no arcane caster, and I had a character concept for a Warlock that was bursting to get out. I've only played him one session and I love the character idea, but now I am looking to the future and am a little underwhelmed by the Warlock spell lists. I'm looking for some feedback and maybe some spell suggestions of solid ones to take.
For reference, some basic character info:
Str: 8
Dex: 14
Con: 14
Int: 14
Wis: 12
Cha: 18
Human - Variant, Warlock-HexBlade 4, Pact of the Blade, Background - Sage
Feats: Ritual Caster (Wizard), ASI Cha +2
Invocations: Agonizing Blast, Fiendish Vigor
Equipment: Breastplate, Greatsword (Pact Weapon)
Character Concept: Basic 15-Year Old "edgelord" who quit Wizarding-School because he thought he knew better...also because he found a forbidden arcane tome that connected him with his Patron. He considers himself a "Shadow Mage" and he is doing magic that regular Wizards "can't handle".
This is NOT an optimized build and I am OK with that since it fits the character concept more. However, when spell selection is concerned, I was looking at the roadmap of Spells and didn't see a lot that stood out to me post 3rd level. I was "considering" dipping into Shadow Sorcerer because I felt it fit and that the Metamagic Quicken Spell feature would be more useful than a 4th Level Damage equivalent Blight (4d10 +16 [38] vs. 8d8 [36]). But damage aside, I am sure there are other spells that I am severely overlooking right? What are some Pure-HexBlade-Warlock spells I should look closer at?
