[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 9680120, member: 6795602"] Random thoughts. My ideal 2024 Warlock is just straight EB + Control/Summon spells. At level 4 take Spell Sniper so I can fire it into melee. An early game Melee Warlock with Armor of Agathys and the False life at will invocation will be a beast. 12 Temp hp that you can replenish at any time that deals 5 damage anytime you are hit and that can potentially last an hour (so multiple encounters per 1 spell slot possibility) and with that much temp hp generation it isn't like you'll die early. I don't think I'd go for Strength. Either Dex or Charisma. Concentration Spells in melee will be a little rough, though you can take the advantage on concentration invocation as well. So if I really was leaning melee i'd go for 17 dex + 16 cha start. Maybe get Defensive Duelist feat at level 4. Use False Life + Armor of Agathys as much as possible. You still have the Cha to be effective with control spells when you have strong opportunities, just not quite as maximized for them. At level 5 that's something like 19 effective AC when Defensive Duelist is up. 15 Temp hp from Armor of Agathys and the ability to replenish that to 12 anytime it's nearly depleted. As long as the DM doesn't actively avoid targeting you then I think you'll contribute very well. [/QUOTE]
