D&D 5E Warlock of Yeenoghu/fiend patron

[Scott Steven Bell]

A Claw pact of Yeenoghu can only create claws as their (blade)pact weapon. These claws are considered magical and cause 1d4+ str damage.
A Claw of Yenoghu may use a multi-attack with his off hand as a rake if he hits with his primary attack.

Invocations

claws of yeenoghu, grow extremely sharp claws on each hand that cause 1d6 damage + str bonus and have the sharpness. Minimum CL level 5

superior claws of Yeenoghu, claws now deal 1d8+str damage. These claws are considered to have the vorpal quality. Minimum warlock level 11.

Voracious claws of Yeenoghu, claws now deal 1d10+ str damage and may have either the vorpal or wounding property. The claws reflect the difference in either a serrated claw or with an overly sharpened one.

Scales of Yeenoghu, creates shadowy scales that cover your body granting a base AC of 15+ half cha bonus if unarmoured. cast at will

Plates of Yeenoghu, creates shadowy plates that cover your body granting a base AC of 18+ half cha bonus if unarmored, cast at will. Min WL 5

Playable?

This is a cool idea.

A warlock has so few invocations -- I'd imagine there is a better use for them than spending three to go from d4 to d10 (with an average damage gain of only +1/invocation).

For the armours, it would be more straightforward just to take 13+CHA, 15+CHA (though I would wait later than level 5 for that). Hope this helps!

Thanks, that does help.

As for 3 invocations he would really only be using one. he would trade up to the better one at higher levels. ie. claws go to superior then to voracious.

maybe at lvl 5 he could take scales at level 5 then plate at level 8. Or maybe just let him use plate at level 1. I hate the current set up where you have to multi class to be a good blade warlock.

The armor class of this armor is 18 +1/4 WL levels up to a maximum of +5 based on charisma modifier).The armor grants advantage on intimidation checks but disadvantage on all other interaction charisma based checks.
