Warlock spells: Booming Blade, Green Flame Blade, Vicious Mockery(tomb), Guidance(tomb), Thaumaturgy(tomb) Armor of Agathis, Shield, Darkness, Flock of Familiars.
Sorcerer spells: Mind Sliver, Chill Touch, Made Hand, Mending, Minor Illusion, sword burst, Absorb elements, charm person, Enhance Ability, Misty Step, Dispel Magic, Haste, Hypnotic pattern, Dissonant Whispers, Hex (replacing Arms of Hadar), Detect thoughts, Mind Whip (replacing Calm Emotions) Hunger of Hadar, Sending
Ritual Spells: Alarm, Comprehend Languages, Detect magic, Detect Poison and Disease, Find Familiar, Floating disk, Identity, illusionary Script, Purify Food and Drink, Speak with Animals, Unseen Servant, Locate Animals and Plants, Skywrite, Wristpocket.
Warlock Invocations: Mask of Many Faces, Book of Ancient Secrets (give me all the ritual spells!)
Magic items: Mind Blade Rapier, Fey Wild Shard, Cloak of Protection
Regular Equipment: Blasting Powder, Breastplate,
The basic back story: Naive kid dreams of becoming a wizard. Get tricked into working for a warlock and his mad alchemist partner who is working on a secret experiment. When he finds out there true goals he gets captured and becomes the next subject of said experiments….gain the powers of a mind flayer without becoming one. The twist is that it works. Warlock powers having been taken away then reignited by the experiment provides him the necessary power and chance to escape. Now he’s become a Dhampir that’s made from a strum of mind flayer trad poles, other ingredients and fey magic (I like the idea of they often other worldly and alien fey magic being the “stabilizing agent” for the strum.)
Basic idea: Pseudo-Gish build using the trifecta Booming Blade (1 target but can be twinned), green flame blade (2 targets) and sword burst (3 or more). Mind sliver and vicious mockery giving him this psychic quipy vibe. But largely spells chosen to make him a utility caster. Absorb elements is my version of uncanny dodge, shield because it’s shield, Armor of Agathis is my HP bump. Ritual casting from Book of ancient secrets for even more utility spells. I do have an idea for using a bat (vampire yes I know) as a familiar for the 60 ft blindsight to see in darkness.
The trifecta idea I came up with when reading RPGBOT breakdown of Melee Cantrip Vs extra attack.
Disclaimer: This character is something I’m working on for fun and had not been played in any actual games. It’s just a concept/wish list of stuff.
Owning up: I posted several questions a while back and apparently wasn’t doing this whole forum thing right. I don’t usually post on forums so I’m kinda a newb at it. So I’m sorry for spamming threads. I’ll try to do better in the future.
If you have read this far thank you and any genuine feed back and/or thoughts welcome please.
