So with the Undead Warlock coming across into Van Richten's Guide I was looking for options to play in Ravenloft. I really like the idea of an Undead Warlock with Lord Soth as a Patron and thematic inspiration. I want to make a deathknight type character. I feel Undead Warlock / Oath of Vengeance could fit this thematically very well. I was going to take Paladin first then Warlock at level 2. I'm not after a min max build but would like to be useful in the way I chose my abilities. Thematically I know I want to use a 2h great sword and for RP reasons going Reborn /Undead race. From a story perspective I want to get to Level 3 to unlock Oath of Vengeance but feel getting to level 6 for Grave Touched feels like a priority for the build.
As to the best way to go about it, I'm not sure. Any thoughts or anyone who has played a similar combination?
A slightly different bent, but Oath of Conquest would pair amazingly well with Undead Warlock, almost like they're custom made for each other. Oath of Conquest has an aura that makes anyone feared by you lose all movement speed and take psychic dmg at the start of their turn if their in it and Undead Warlock lets you turn into that undead form that makes you fear when you hit something once per turn? Or maybe every hit, I dont remember. Either way it would be really good.

I had read about this combination and it does make sense to look more into. Thanks for the response!
