[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 6844269"] I agree with the poster who said that's like building a fighter who doesn't wear armor. So I'm going to ignore the "no Eldritch Blast" part. I'd much rather take the cheap and easy DPR, and then put all my spells and points into more fun things, rather than having to use all my fun features to get the damage back up to par. Everything else in the game? That's where it gets fun. I'd go Tiefling for the Thaumaturgy and free Hellish Rebuke. And pure flavor. Fiend is the obvious choice, but all three are tasty options. I'm kind of partial to Archfey, both for the flavor as a trickster Warlock, and because Misty Escape is oh-so-useful. Tome Lock. That puts Cantrips up to Eldritch Blast, Friends, Thaumaturgy, Shillelagh, Vicious Mockery, and Sacred Flame. Sacred Flame because Ravenloft just launched so you just know it's going to be useful. And because the idea of a Warlock casting Sacred Flame just amuses me. Shillelagh because sometimes you gotta get physical. By level 9 you've got 20 Charisma. Screw Feats. Let's see, Invocations: - Agonizing Blast, of course - Repelling Blast. With two beams that's 20' knockback each turn. - Book of Ancient Secrets with Find Familiar. Owl. Oh, Advantage on every attack? TYVM. Eventually get Leomuds Tiny Hut and Phantom Steed. - Ascendant Step. Levitate at will. "Can't we just nuke them from orbit?" - One with the Shadows. Invisibility at will (requires dim light...of which there should be plenty in Ravenloft. In a pinch use Tiefling Darkness) Spells: - Hex (at 5th level you only need to cast it 1/day) - Hold Person - Hold Monster - Counterspell - Dispel Magic - Banishment - Vampiric Touch - Magic Circle - If Fiend: Flame Strike - If Archfey: Seeming [/QUOTE]
