Message: <blockquote data-quote="ClaytonCross" data-source="post: 7802394" data-attributes="member: 6880599">I actually like the Aberrant Mind Sorcerer being similar to the GOO warlock. I used the GOO warlock to make a scout but I really wanted a sorcerer caster version.  My only disappointment is that it doesn't get <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/shadow-of-moil" target="_blank">Shadow of Moil</a> or any "Psychic vision" but I don't see anything I would particularly want to change to get it, which is a decent indication that the subclass is pretty good. I can't find anything that makes me say "ugh, what a waste I don't want that".   … It might be a little broken with quicken spell (Mind Sliver), Psionic Sorcery (hard to counter spell), and heighten spell; however, since I never see anyone use heighten spell it would be nice to have a build that promotes that meta magic.The Lurker in the Deep Parton warlock seems to reflect the idea of Fjord on critical role and really leans into a pact of the blade providing some non-concentration AoE spells, bonus action melee in the form of summoned stationary tendrils, a 100% chance to resist 50% of 1 missive damage attack 5 times, and the ability to gain and recharge some temporary hit points.... its an interesting way to lean into a melee warlock without adding armor proficiencies, sheild, and absorb elements. I don't think its tough enough to tank but it would make a great "melee dpr / support fighter"...That's just my opinion for what its worth. I kind of like them both. They are both unique to there class if not to the game, thought I do worry "Mind Sliver" might become the new caster favorite, just being too good with a Int save, but wizards and warlocks have other cantrips they might prioritize (toll the dead, eldritch blast) it might be nice for some sorcerers to have a good save spell other than <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/frostbite" target="_blank">Frostbite</a>.</blockquote>
