Hello everyone,
Recently I had an idea that I wanted to run by the community, get everyone's thoughts, and help to maximize this specific build. So here's my idea:
The idea of this character is to use a majority of necromancy spells, to suck/drain the life of his foes.
The class would be as follows: Warlock X/Wizard 2.
The Wizard school: Necromancy (for grim harvest)
The Warlock Patron: Fiend (for dark one's blessing)
Pact of the Tome.
Essentially with these two features, with every kill, the character would obtain both temporary and regular hit points. The tome is for more utility.
The Race would be Variant Human and the feat that would be chosen is Moderatley Armored as to have survivability when in close combat.
Stats (point buy):
STR-8
DEX-13 + 1 (feat)= 14
CON-14
INT-13
WIS-9 + 1 (race) =10
CHA-15 + 1 (race) = 16
With medium armor and shield AC would be 19.
At Lvl 4 the next thing would to take War Caster.
Invocations:
Devil's Sight
Mask of Many Faces
Book of Ancient Secrets (find familiar, ?)
(Need help with future choices)
Essentially, the mask of many faces is used as a way to stalk and pounce on the enemies. Devil's sight to prey on said foes with advantage in darkness. Book of Ancient secrets to have a crow help and to be an omen to those the character encounters.
Spells:
- Cantrips:
Toll of the dead (Wiz)
Shocking Grasp (Wiz)
Light (Wiz)
Eldritch Blast (War)
Minor Illusion (War)
Friends (War)
- Tome:
Vicious Mockery
Message
Mage Hand
- 1st Level Spells:
Shield (Wiz)
Silent Image (Wiz)
Detect Magic (Wiz)
Arms of Hadar (War)
Hex (War)
Armor of Agathys (War)
- 2nd Level Spells:
Shadow Blade
Darkness
Invisibility
- 3rd Level Spells:
Vampiric Touch (bread of butter of character)
- 4th Level Spells:
Blight
I haven't thought everything through but that's what I got so far. The main thing is getting to Vampiric touch to drain the life out of the enemies with Hex stacked on top. The character would obtain health from Vampiric touch as well as the feats from each class. The character would be sinister due to its Patron, but he focuses what we would call evil tendencies into hurting those that need harm. So, far this is what I got. Tell me what you think and if you can help with the build I'd love the feedback please. This character isn't meant to be an optimized character. It's meant to be something different from a blade lock and different from your average eldritch blast warlock. Thank you for the help and for taking the time to read this. It means a lot to me.
