That looks right. You just look at your warlock table for warlock spell slots and spell slot level, and just look at sorcerer table for sorcerer slots and level. Just remember that how many slots you have and of what level is determined separately, and you should be fine.
Can I ask why you want to mix the two, btw? Warlock is a great class on its own!![]()
The reason why, is that I know a little more about the sorcerer spells from the d&d pc games . But I acknowledge that this approach does have it's limits. I would really like to have a familiar, I think it's fun to have a little companion full of mischief (I am a dad IRL). But since I only access to two invocations, I have to choose between "voice of the chain master" and "repelling strike". I think the first one are invaluable for a chain master. But then, on the other hand I want to have a character who are able to deal a amazing lot of damage, which makes Tome a valid option. With that perspective I will survive the loss of my dear familiar (but, well I may change my mind again)... And there you have another reason why I want to multiclass warlock and sorcerer. it's a win win. From warlock, I get a lot of cantrips (and one of them is truly awesome) plus a few good spells. From sorcerer I get Metamagic with together with Hex makes it possible for me to manipulate the spells and in that way I can make stronger then they were before.
Anyway, for Patron, they are pretty evenly matched. I'd look especially at the *low level* benefits of each, as they will be part of you character early, and thus have a bigger impact on how you end up seeing your character and how it plays.
I haven't decided yet wich patron I will use, I am trying to find out wich patron will be most usefull in the long run. The "sold your soul to the devil" thing with the pact of the fiend makes it a important decision. Do I want to play a character that is tempted by demons?
also, I haven't seen noobs have any trouble with playing warlocks, and as long as they have some guidance to avoid common multiclassing pitfalls, I've not seen new players have much trouble with multiclassing characters. Just make what you want and enjoy it.
I think that knowledge is the key. That is why I have joined the forum and started this thread. I am not afraid to ask questions. The possiible pitfalls makes it more a challenge. I understand why people have told me why I should avoid multiclass when I am new to the game. But as you say, with guidance and a ambition to learn I think it's possible to sucess.
Note: Eldritch Blast is powerful, and has more than one Invokation related to adding to it, but it can get boring. So...use other cantrips too.
As I wrote in a later post: Eldritch Blast is really awesome. I am amazed that such a strong skill is allowed to be a cantrip. To me, it seems like it could be a high level spell! I will try not to be too addicted to it... It seems so important to remember that the Sorcerer are a powerful class in it's own. And, how fun is it for other players, and the DM if I are overusing Eldritch Blast. I will try to use it as a tactical advantage (like a sniper riffle in a fps game).
edit: if sorcerer isn't actually important to the character concept, melee tome or blade warlocks that MC rogue and use the weapon cantrips from Sword Coast Adventure Guide are really fun to play.
I will make a mele character also, just to try it out =).
Last thing: how into character optimization is your group?
I don't really know. we will begin to play in the middle of january... I am studing to Java developer and I will play with a couple of classmates. We are 5 who will play together. At first they were 3, but they were unsure if there were more people in the class that wanted to play. And now one of them has asked some friends to join the campaign. That is why I have to wait. I will try to learn this as good as I can before that. But it is such a long wait. I am thinking about gaming at Roll20 but I am unsure. I am such a noob and I don't want to spoil the fun for a couple of strangers... And to your question... I really dont know, but they are atleast not as fanatic as me. I am the only one who is planning a character right now... I guess I am the biggest nerd among us =).
