This might work better at low or medium levels but the idea is a tortle warlock, pact of the chain (to get a special familiar (imp etc.)) and when a fight breaks out he can hide inside his shell while the party members do their thing and hopefully clear off any attackers that are targeting me. By using the Invocation Voice of the Chain Master you could see/hear/speak through your familiar. Cast touch spells. Interact with things through the familiar as if it was my avatar. lol
Anything else you guys think this build might benefit from (like the new invocation for pact of the chain that gives your familiar some extras.
Can you forgo your attack to give your familiar an attack as a reaction (from pact of the chain)... and have it attack using your bonus action (from the aforementioned invocation that gives familiars extras)???

Yeah, it's not what I originally thought but could still work a little. You can see/hear/speak through your special familiar before retreating into your shell since you don't need your senses inside the shell. And can communicate telepathically to use your familiar to do stuff. Can't use touch spells but the familiar can still make one of it's own attacks since to do so you simply have to give up an action, not use one, so you should still be able to do that from inside the shell (especially since you can't use the action anyway, might as well let the special familiar make an attack with it).
Most low level fights average only 2 or 3 rounds anyway... and if it comes right down to it you can retreat inside the shell for the first 2 rounds of the fight, emerging on round 3 and doing something unexpected... maybe the enemy think you are going to stay inside the shell and you emerge and wreck their plans using any method you have available (spells, feats, features etc.)
I dunno, like I said it's a funny concept and might be a lot of fun to try sometime.

Hmm... if there was a way to get the Blur spell since hitting AC 21 with disadvantage is near impossible.
