I play a pact of the fiend gnome warlock. his backstory is his daughter died and he was in a time of need when orcus (god of the undead) came along and said “if you do this and that i’ll help bring back your daughter” although he is untrustworthy and hasn't gone through with anything. my character plans on “dumping” orcus and leaving the party for a couple sessions to rethink if his daughter would even want to be revived. I talked to my DM a while back and they agreed a subclass swap would be fine and makes sense with my character (the other option they agreed with is losing levels in warlock and gaining them in another, unchosen, class).
does anybody have any ideas for a subclass that could go with this character? the patron could be his daughter in the afterlife, or a god he can trust. I am a huge fan of flavoring classes to make it fit so I would love that for a subclass.
another option is losing warlock levels and gaining them in a different class. this could be a variety of classes, I already have 2 (almost 3) levels in bard, college of spirits. in case you need them my stats are:
If your dead daughter is now in the realm of whatever god she believed in, you could also go with Divine Soul Sorcerer as the repentance and change of heart awakened the good in you. Though, this might be narratively in conflict with the Spirits Bard.
Otherwise you could go full tilt into Bard (DM allowing) or do what Mephista said and go Celestial or Fey Warlock.
thank you very much for this idea! I think sorcerer would be very cool, I'll ask my DM about that!

i would prefer to stick to a spell casting class.
I mean, the obvious answer is to go Celestial Patron. Or Fey. Both would match with reconnecting with Garl Glittergold and his pantheon.

Thank you for the idea! I'll look into those subclasses.
