One of my groups has started a playthrough of the Mad Mage campaign using 5e rules. Couple of sessions in and enjoying it (2nd time in the campaign but never finished it in a different group). PC started at 5th level. I was considering doing something along the lines of a Hexblade Sorlock to max EB and MM. But as I was pondering character creation ideas I decided to go a different route with a concept I'd never considered before.
This group is heavy into RP with deep back stories, PC interactions, between session RP on Discord etc. Normally I'm a DM for the group but we fortunately have several other players that are also DM's so this is giving me a great break. Most of us decided to do something completely different than our 'normal' characters. For example the guy that is normally the half-Orc murder hobo went with halfling Bard. The elven Rouge guy went with Minotaur Barbarian. Stuff like that. Went with Fairy as it's a race I'd never even thought about playing and it looked like fun with a lot of possibilities.
So I currently have 2 levels of Archfey Warlock and three levels of Wild Magic Sorcerer. Wanted the 2 Warlock levels to get the Invocations, chose Agonizing and Repelling Blast. Wanted 3 levels of Sorcerer to get to the MM stuff and have some additional spell slots. That's where I'm at now.
I'm leaning towards the next level being Warlock in order to get Pact of the Chain (Sprite). Not looking so much for the most optimal min-max but leaning into the whole 'Fey' angle. Don't get me wrong, I like min-maxing different PC's occasionally as to me it's kind of relaxing to research stuff with a lot of synergy. But like I said, this time around it was going for a whole different angle for RP fun and shenanigans. But I feel that with EB + Hex and/or Chaos bolt + Hex gives me some solid damage output. But also want to have a lot of support and utility for a variety. Faerie Fire, Enlarge, Charm, Frighten and that whole route.
Beyond that I'm 'thinking' going Sorc the rest of the way but undecided. Have some time before I need to make a decision.
Anyway, first post on this particular forum so just wanted to put up a post with some current thoughts and doings. Thoughts, suggestions and experiences with this or similar builds are always welcome.
