[QUOTE="Sezarious, post: 6878073, member: 6792106"] Half Elf Warlock - Lv1 Stats: Str 15 Dex 18 Con 16 Int 13 Wis 15 Cha 18 - Swap Int and Str, and Wis with Con. Int means very little in 5e compared to previous editions unless it is class specific. Furthermore, in optimising a Charisma build, you want to prorotise Charisma, Dex, the Con. At Warlock level 2, you take the 'Many faces' Invocation and a throwaway second invocation you will need at lv 3. Warlock 3: If I were you, I'd go pact of the tome and swap your throwaway invocation for the tomelock ritual invocation. Take guidance shillaeghleigh and maybe resistance from the druid cantrips. Guidance is another little battlefield control spell, but shillaeghleigh is awesome, because it's a magic weapon that will use your Cha mod for damage! Take the find familiar spell from the ritual invocation and use an Owl. Owls have the flyby ability, meaning they don't provoke Attacks of opportunity. They can fly at an enemy, use the help action granting one of your party advantage and then fly back to safety. Chain familiars aren't that much better than normal ones when you use rhem in this way. Furthermore, to go with the spy concept, with the pact of the tome, you can eventually steal a wizards "phantom steed" ritual, so that you can periodically summon a ghostly looking 100ft speed mount without the need of a spell slot! Go to Warlock 4, when you should take the following ASI. ASI: CHA +2 This means more eventual bardic inspiration, harder spell save dcs and max damage with your melee weapon. Then 6 levels in lore bard will get you access to awesome spells like haste! Or paladin auras! Or maybe find steed. Maybe you'll then create a glyph of warding with the find steed spell and let another party member activate it. They'll be like.... Whoah! Intelligent celestial horse? Where did that come from? Best of all, most of yourabilities will refresh every short rest! Excuse me... Must sleep now. [/QUOTE]
