[QUOTE="Tessarael, post: 8954381, member: 12909"] Regarding temporary HP, if someone in your party with Charisma 13+ takes the Rallying Speaker feat, I think that's probably the best option for the group. Second to that, Fiendish Vigor gives False Life for 1d4+4 temporary HP and Noxious Invigoration boosts this by your proficiency bonus. I'd generally prefer Armor of Agathys instead if your DM permits that Warlock spell from 5E D&D, as it gives per spell level both 5 temporary HP and does 5 cold damage to creatures that hit you with a melee attack. I see temporary HP from Eldritch Whip as a boost to this when you get hurt in combat. Regarding Eldritch Prism, yes, it will typically be the most useful of the level 7 invocations that do area of effect damage. And I'll note that Agonizing Blast adds to the damage of these as they are a use of Eldritch Blast per the wording. Regarding magic items to bump the save DC for Eldritch Disturbance, there's Rod of the Pact Keeper from 5E D&D that gives a bonus between +1 to +3 to Warlock spell attack rolls and saving throw DCs. A5E doesn't have this magic item, so depends on your DM whether you could get this or not. In particular, Eldritch Blast is no longer a spell in A5E, so Eldritch Disturbance may not qualify for the benefit from this item, though the others which are melee/ranged spell attack rolls do.
