As one might expect I am rather happy with the class in 5th ed. It really keeps that unique feel they had with 3x and the higher complexity and versatility of 4e. They do seem to be one class that won't mix well with multiclassing, but I'm sure at some point someone will discover a wicked little combo. One issue I have with the class is that - as others have said - it seems to be a bit of a mish-mash, rather thrown together. The way spells work for example, I suspect is designed as such to diversify the spell-casting classes. Wizards are.. classic wizards with the ultimate spells. Sorcerers have their sorcery point system (though no unique spells which I find really odd), etc.The only way in which I am disappointed is how mechanically similar the Fey Liege is with the Old One while being quite significantly less powerful. Compared directly the issue becomes apparent.The Archfey1st Level - Project fear or charm (saved)6th Level - Invisible & Teleport when hit (essentially Blink, which is free & much better.)10th Level - Reflect the occasional Charm power, resisted with a saving throw.14th Level - Charm a creature for 1 minute, requiring concentration oh and can be saved against.Great Old One1st Level - Telepathy with any nearby intelligent creature (fey arguably better)6th Level - Gain Advantage and give Disadvantage when hit (Blade Pact here I come!)10th Level - Block telepathy, resist psychic damage and reflect that damage.14th Level - Perma-Charm an incap. creature and gain unlimited telepathy on the same plane.Compared like above, it becomes obvious which is the better choice unless you want to be able to occasionally put the Fear condition on an enemy or just 'gotta' have that Psuedodragon pet. Mechanically there is no reason to chose Archfey over the Old God.</blockquote>
