[QUOTE="FlyingChihuahua, post: 7896608, member: 6904924"] This one takes a bit of investment and isn't combat related, but it sounds real fun. Great Old One Patron Warlock with the Actor feat and proficiency in Deception and Persuasion (conveniently available in one Invocation ) and the Mask of Many Faces Invocation. Get Friends and Hex and maybe a few other charm/dominate spells to dig into the niche. You can disguise as basically [I]anyone[/I] and if you observe them for a little bit you can sound like them too, and pass yourself off fairly easily with both Advantage and Proficiency. For any aliases created out of whole cloth or people you only need to deal with once, you can make Friends with them and get advantage anyway. Them being mad at you won't matter because they'll be mad at an alias (and if you ever need to distract them, disguise yourself as the alias and get them angry at, and distracted by, you). Here's where the [I]real[/I] fun begins though: With Awakened Mind, you can talk to other people inside of their heads, and with the Actor feat, you can, at least with the way I read it, disguise your voice as anyone's, including the person you are communicating with! You can [I]be[/I] the voice inside someone's head and drive them crazy like any good Great Old One follower should. Like I said, not combat related, but you can have some serious fun with this I think. EDIT: I forgot to mention why Hex is important. With Hex you can curse someone's ability checks and give them disadvantage, like say their Wisdom, crippling their Perception and Insight, so not only do you get advantage when lying to people, they get disadvantage on investigating your motives, and you can Hex someone to make it so it's harder for them to percieve you while you or your friends sneak by.
