I’m thinking I’m going pure control. Like a freaky Shadow Sorcerer who invades people’s minds and gives them nightmares. Total gothic vampire vibe. Without the bloodsucking. Maybe.

And as such, I’m considering not taking any damaging spells, except a Cantrip or two. He’ll be focusing on Illusion and enchantment. Let the War Wizard do the blasty stuff.

Really thinking Helm of Telepathy. Fluff it as an circlet with an onyx stone in the middle. Shadow and all that. Being able to read everyone’s minds, communicate telepathically, effectively have a “Mind Radar”’ and cast suggestion, all without spell slot use? Yes please!

I may be metagaming, but I suspect an old shrine to have undead, notoriously immune to both charm and illusion. But if you think being shadow dude works. Go for it.

One note, suggestion requires that you first cast detect thoughts so it's not a one round action. Detect thoughts only works on one creature at a time.

You seemed to only have spent 26 points on point buy according to my formulas.

D&D Beyond has the full 27 PB used, and I redid the math.

I did forget the +1 non-racial ability score bump you gave us for character creation. Also forgot magic items and shopping. Just took the starting package. Need to redo that and go shopping instead.

First Post
Undead aren't usually immune to illusions. Some are immune to charm, though they don't have blanket immunity to mind-affecting effects as in previous editions.

Hm...if you're going shadow sorceror, I think I will change up my concept a bit. I was leaning shadowy too...but I can reskin the warlock powers to be other things pretty easily. I actually like that idea more and more now...
