Hi! I took a great interest in the Unearthed Arcana Undead Warlock subclass, but it didn't cater to my specific needs, since I was looking to make a Warlock whose patron is Count Strahd von Zarovich, from Curse of Strahd. I found some neat remakes by other D&D players of the Undead UA subclass that offered some nice features, but there was still something missing, so with the permission from my DM, I decided to take some bits from here and there and homebrew it to my liking.
I have to note that I'm not planning on publishing this as a homebrew subclass, this is only for a specific character that I've built for my personal tastes and specifically for our campaign. However, since I've only been playing D&D since late fall of 2020, I know I'm not an adept when it comes to rules, or balancing out homebrew. This is why I'm looking for help from those of you who know what they're doing. Also, my opinion might be a tad bit biased when it comes to figuring out whether or not this subclass is balanced out or not. Lastly, more opinions on something is never a bad thing, that's what Unearthed Arcana is for, right? ;)
So, here it is. Any advice and/or critique regarding the extended spell list and subclass features is welcome! I'm trying to make this subclass as balanced and playable as possible while still keeping up a necromancer-vampire kinda vibe.
