Message: <blockquote data-quote="Savage Orc" data-source="post: 7017080" data-attributes="member: 6872942">So I played D&D years ago when it was AD&D (1E I guess you would call it) back in the early/mid eighties, didn't really get into 2E, but did a brief stint with 3E (a handful of gaming sessions before my group fell apart) when it first came out.I just recently started getting into 5E and was wondering about trying a Monk/Warlock build.My idea was to do a half elf using pregen stats. Str:8Dex: 15 (16 from +1 race bonus)Con: 12Int: 10Wis: 13 (14 from +1 race bonus)Cha: 14 (16 from +2 race bonus)I was thinking that maybe everyone in my Monastary was devoted at one level or another to a patron (not sure if it would be an Archfey, Fiend, GOO).I was thinking taking 6 levels in Warlock and the rest in Monk. Probably start out as Monk first 2 levels then 3 warlock, then alternate maybe. I'm not sure. 6 levels of Warlock would get the 3rd level spell slot and a 3rd Invocation (any ideas for those?). And the 6th level Pact ability (Misty Step from Archfey would be nice if I get overwhelmed)Hex would be used for the extra d6 necrotic damage. And originally I was thinking pact of the blade so I could have my monk weapon (spear or quarterstaff) appear for combat. If I understand it correctly I could use the weapon two handed for 1d8 damage (+1d6 from Hex), and then Flurry of Blows for 2 attacks at 1d4 +1d6 (Hex). But I'm not sure if maybe the Tome pact might work for the extra cantrips if you think if any would be worthwhile.I also considered Archfey for the faerie fire, but since it is a concentration spell I couldn't use it with Hex. But it would be good for the whole party, I assume. Maybe you would have advice if another patron would be better.At 4th level I could take Warcaster feat instead of ability increase to help with the concentration. And at low levels Armor of Shadows would be 1 point better than my Monk AC (10+Dex+Wis modifier). Mirror Image would help too in melee. And Eldritch Blast for ranged when needed.So what do you all think? Will this work out? Should I do something else with spells/cantrips that would make this better? How about the levels: Monk 14/ Warlock 6? Does that make sense?Any advice would be appreciated.</blockquote>
