Nice to see someone else who likes the Oath of Redemption Paladin!

10: Hexblade Warlock. I actually prefer a Tome Celestial Warlock that snags Shillelagh. Booming Blade and Green-Flame Blade, but I honestly can't deny how effective it is to make Charisma your sole offensive attribute that you can melee attack twice with. 9: Zealot Barbarian. The smite like Rage is heavenly, and the last feature that lets you be "Man literally too angry to die". And even if you do die, you're pretty easy to get revived at a temple. 8: Arcane Trickster Rogue. Being able to Mage Hand your thieves tools is good, being able to naturally take Booming Blade or Green-Flame Balde is great, playing the long haul and getting the Invisibility spells is downright amazing. 7: Ancients Paladin. The usual smite machine, but you're basically taking this for Aura of Warding. 6: Moon Druid. I actually prefer Land, Wildfire, Shepard and Dreams, but I cannot deny the absolute potency of the Wild Shape that basically puts you on par with the melee player characters without even needing to touch your spell slots. 5: Kensei Monk. Somewhat lackluster on the surface, but if you manage to sharpen a Frostbrand or Flame Tongue weapon, its actually extremely potent. 4: Enchantment Wizard. Ramps up all the control spells, and once you get to double up the Power Word Pain, Stun and Kill spells, its kind of terrifying. 3: Wild Magic Sorcerer. A constant nightmare for everyone including yourself, but once you start getting its other features (namely controlled chaos) its actually really solid. 2: Sword Bard. Basically the ultimately flex, as it turns your skill expertise full spellcaster into a very decent melee combatant 1: Light Cleric. Praise the sun, for Radiance of the Dawn does amazing area damage without friendly fire, recharges per short rest, and actually scales in damage with level. If you manage to play in Ravnica, the Boros Guild Spell list lets you take Firebolt. Praise be.

Could I get an example of how Swords bard can be utilized? Like 2 pala 18 sword bard, hold person > steel wind strike. When I go bard I'm always tempted to go lore bard purely cuz of peerless skill + early spiritual weapon/spirit guardians+dodge combo usually outweighing the other options.

@Gladerunner2113

@@OnionJuiceEnjoyer If you're going to take Lore Bard for Spiritual Weapon, Spirit Guardians and the Dodge action, you might as well play a Cleric (which would give you Medium armor and Shields without needing to multiclass) For the most part, once you start theorycrafting level 18 or level 20 stuff, everything's basically already broken, and it kind of detracts from the journey required to get there. I will lightly say that level 1-3 is a nightmare, because you're trying to build a half combat character before your subclass kicks in. Faerie Fire is your mob support spell, which will help everyone weapon attack down a bunch of enemies. Once you hit level 3, enjoy the medium armor, Shatter really is your best spell for damage, and Two-Weapon Fighting is technically better because it is more than possible to run out of Bardic Inspiration now that its tied to Blade Flourish. You also get Expertise, which is well spent on being the face of the party for Persuasion and Deception rolls. I'd recommend ASI for Charisma to better flex the skills and spellcasting. Once you get to level 5, you can get your Bardic Inspiration back on a short rest - which gels extremely well with a short rest party. Hypnotic Pattern is nothing to sneeze at though, provided you use it to stall a large enough group of enemies. Level 6 brings Extra Attack, which is good (though perhaps not as uber efficient as Spiritual Weapon + Spirit Guardians) so you're largely at the mercy of what magic weapons your DM hands out. It might be worthwhile to Multiclass into Hexblade Warlock so you can solely rely on Charisma, and get the Shield spell. I could continue down that rabbit hole for Invocations (Agonizing Blast and Improved Pact Weapon) or for Pact of the Blade, but at that point you'd probably be better served making a Hexblade Warlock from the start. (Neither do I want to lock out getting the highest level of Magical Secrets or stalling higher level spell progression.) Levels 7, 8, and 9 aren't too glamorous besides Greater Invisibility, which will let you swing your weapons for profit. Level 10 is the biggest power jump - Magical Secrets. Here, you pick Find Greater Steed and either Guardian of Nature, or Haste. Using either on yourself applies it to your steed, and both have significant merit. Guardian of Nature lets you use the Beast function on your steed for a significant improvement for Multiattack steeds, and gives you the option of either. Haste is kind of insane as it gives extra attacks, added AC, doubled speed, etc, to both your already fast steed and yourself. Technically, a Lore Bard can pull this off too, but Medium Armor and Extra Attack make this combo work better. Second round of Expertise can go into the party's week spot, though I prefer to take Animal Handling for steed synergy, and Perception if the Bard is diving first and fast into unknown territory. From then on, besides True Seeing, Magical Secrets are the only thing worth emphasizing. At Level 14, Magical Secrets for Tenser's Transformation, any of the Investitures, Crown of Stars (combo for advantage with the Great Tree Guardian of Nature), or Heal are pretty good choices. Regenerate is also stupendously efficient when it heals you and your mount. Its also at level 14 that you get Master Flourish, letting use it without digging into your Bardic Inspiration, which is very nice. At level 15, Mind Blank is good but situational, At level 17, Foresight and Invulnerability are extremely amusing choices for you and your mount. The last round of Magical Secrets is mainly to get Wish. Overall though, much of this depends on what magic items are thrown your way, or whether you reach the level 10 milestone. Once you get Tenser's Transformation, the distinction between Lore Bard and Sword Bard gets much smaller. Spirit Guardian/Spiritual Weapon is hard to beat, granted, but in that case I'd go straight to my first pick - Light Cleric. Much better AC, access to Radiance of the Dawn and the Word of Radiance cantrip. Loses out on skill proficiency, expertise, Jack of All Trades and Bardic Inspiration, sure, but if damage is the main focus, Light Cleric is very much a high tier pick for that.

@@Gladerunner2113 Ah it's just to make those two spells work on CHA and also gain access to god tier skill rolls with expertise and peerless skiil (up to 82 persuasion roll). Pretty much like you said, like Cleric but with limited support spell list in return for skill and spell versatility, burst and AC if two paladin levels at the start. Been trying to think of a way to make swords bard work over lore bard other than using it's extra attack for more paladin smites. I think it can definitely peak with a tenser's transformation + steel wind strike + smite combo, though hold person or haste would probably be better to not run out of juice. Lore bard smite build would average 57 damage using 5th level slots to smite Spirit guardians + spiritual weapons upcasted using 5th and 6th level slots would average 45 DPR Lore bard smite build using hold person would average 114 damage using 5th level slots to smite Swords bard using tenser would average 81 damage Swords bard smiting with tenser whilst using flourish on a target under hold person would be pretty scary Assuming all of this was done with flametongue for above for both cases Swords bard would probably work better endgame when enemies have legendary resistances, though a synaptic static + cutting words + bane combination from lore bard is equally enticing for that up to -22 to hit. Though I guess tenser would still work with lore, I definitely learned a nice tactic here then Surprisingly exceeded my expectations of pure bard when I did the math, didn't think they could break 80 DPR without multiclassing or the Animate objects spell

@@OnionJuiceEnjoyer I actually had to double check the validity of Steel Wind Strike + Smite, and apparently melee weapon attacks and melee spell attacks are discrete, separate entities - adn thus don't combo. If your DM doesnt know the distinction, you can probably make it happen, but thats the RAW for me for now. As for the other number crunching, the main draw of my build centers around Tenser's Tranformation and Find Greater Steed, and eeking out as much Tenser 2d12 force damage with advantage attacks. The advantage doesnt extend to the Steed because they can't wield simple or martial weapons, but the potential of giving the steed Extra attack still results in a lot of strikes - only some made at advantage, but all of them are at Advantage once Foresight becomes available. Though Lore Bard getting Spirit Guardians and Spiritual Weapon early, and still being able to attain the above combo is completely respectable. I'd say one side effect however, is that going Redemption Paladin (for the Persuasion Channel Divinity) does mean you have to subscribe to the tenets of that Oath. Additionally, the Lore Bard would require their musical instrument to cast spells, whereas the Sword Bard has the benefit of using their weapon as their focus. Probably worth the tradeoff for more skills and early secret spells I suppose.

Unless your games have a rule against 2 players using the same class (my games don't, except is the subclass is also the same), a very good 'last pick' type character is a healer feat thief.

@TheLegoLord100

@@GoblinLord when I played it myself, I never really had a shortage of healer kits, but it does depend on party size, how many times people go down and frequency of combats/short rests, as those are the limiting factors of the main combo. If you frequently short rest, the DM really like quickly knocking someone unconcious and have a big party, you will run out much quicker. So long as you stock up enough you will almost always have uses of them, and you will stock up as that is just what thieves do. Gotta stay on top of your rope, oil, ball bearing and caltrop supplies as well, might as well buy some more kits whenever you resupply any of those. As far a build goes, I played a ranged shortbow rogue that always stayed about 30 ft away from combat, close enough to swoop in and heal or disrupt combat with other items, far enough away to easily duck for cover. The Mobile feat and a friend routinely casting Longstrider on me also really helped. If I would do a full professional build I would have probably taken 2 levels of ranger for zephyr strike, my own longstrider and the archery fighting style

Honesty, picking my favorite subclass was hard but I eventually settled on Eldritch Knight Fighter, if only for the versatility and the fact that my two favorite classes are Wizard and Fighter.

Really enjoyed this video! It's fun to hear which are somebodys favorite subclasses, because that tells a lot about their playstyle. I'd gladly listen to more subclass related videos and perhaps some strategies to go with them.

Saving throw cantrips are good for front line/melee casters, which is what most Clerics will likely be. A ranged spell attack cantrip like Firebolt would have to be cast at a Disadvantage in melee. This is not a big problem for Wizards, because they shouldn't be fighting in melee, but disengaging and creating distance. A Cleric, with armor, shield and Spirit Guardians might still sometimes use Sacred Flame at longer ranges, but most of the time they will be using it in melee. So, while it's not the greatest cantrip, it offers flexibility, good for a front line support class and it leaves more room for utility cantrips, like Guidance and Mending.

Ooh, smart thinking

I see you like blasters a lot with those choices. :) I was thinking about putting a top 10 subclasses list of my own together, but that would take quite awhile to narrow things down to just ten, so instead will just give my favorite subclass for each class which is much easier to do, and will just do them in alphabetical order. Barbarian: Path of the Ancestral Guardian. In my opinion the best tank in the game, can just take the attention of enemies and be able to handle it as well. Bard: College of Swords. I just really like the battle bard concept, and swords seems to do it much better than valor, even though I find it really weird that it doesn't give you proficiency with shields (it's literally the only instance in the entire game where something gives you proficiency with medium armor but not shields). Cleric: Nature Domain. This was a really close call for me between forge and nature, but in the end I have slight preference for nature for how it lets you make a solid front line character that only needs con and wis to do everything since they can get Shillelagh along with heavy armor. The channel divinity is a bit situational, but every other ability of the sub class is great. Druid: Circle of Shepherd. This one simply comes down to epitomizing the druids jack of all trades theme, the subclass abilities really help you no matter what role you want to do, the spirits give you buffed healing and great buffs to your party, you get really solid buffs to your summons whether you need more bodies to take hits or to deal them out. The 14th level ability is likely not going to come into play often, but it can save you from tpk when it does. Fighter: Eldritch Knight. This was another really tough choice to make, I really WANT to like arcane archer, but it just gets such limited number of their trick arrows per rest, and battle master is great but doesn't really have that much versatility, whereas eldritch knight is amazing, I especially like to focus on reaction and bonus action spells as much as possible to get the most out of it, like the first two spells I take are always going to be Absorb Elements and Shield. But even just taking these kind of defensive spells will make you really hard to take down since you still have all the standard fighter features too, plus likely very high base ac. Monk: Kensei. This was a close call between kensei and drunken master, but in the end, kensei wins out simply because drunker master is so reliant on spending ki for their abilities, whereas kensei gives amazing abilities that don't require any ki, and then you have option to spend some ki to increase your damage output when it really matters. Paladin: Oath of Conquest. Paladin is probably my least favorite class in 5e, mainly because it just feels like all you ever do is hit things + divine smite. But oath of conquest at least has some nice synergies going with the frightened condition, and multiple ways to apply it, and I like the fallen aasimar as race for it to get yet another way to frighten things. In addition I also really like the oath spells that conquest gets which is big deal for me since one of the things that really turns me away from paladin in general is how incredibly lame their base spell list is. Ranger: Beastmaster. No it is not a joke, I actually really like Beastmaster and I think it is the most under-rated subclass in the whole game, it starts a bit slow, but once you get your extra attack feature you will be doing great, and then once you get bestial fury your effectively making 3 attacks per round (4 if you use one of the many ways to also get a bonus action attack), my favorite beast companion is the Flying Snake, which does very respectable damage, has great manueverability, and most importantly has the flyby ability which lets it stay out of harms way in most cases so it's low hitpoints aren't that much of an issue. Rogue: Arcane Trickster. This is a pretty easy one, the base kit of rogue is already amazing, so you don't so much need more abilities to make it better, but instead getting more versatility and options is great, and what better way to do that than becoming a spellcaster? There is also couple specific spells that I think arcane trickster rogue can utilize better than probably anyone else, those being Booming Blade and especially Shadow Blade (which btw is an illusion). Both of these will significantly increase your damage output, plus who doesn't like all the shennanigans you can do with invisible mage hand? Sorcerer: Draconic. To be honest, I don't really like any of the sorcerer subclasses, I wish there would be something like fiend or fey bloodline, and I am kind of surprised there isn't a fiend one really, taking in that tieflings are core race... but that aside, of the options that are there, draconic is the one I dislike the least, as every feature it gives is at least useful, even if not most exciting. Warlock: Great Old One. From my least favorite class to my most favorite, I have played so many warlocks but I am just a big sucker for eldritch horror, and as such, Great Old One speaks to me in a very personal level. It has so much flavor too, and many warlock spells have kind of this old god theme to it, most obvious being Hunger of Hadar, which just happens to be one of my favorite spells in the game, but it's not just flavor that I like this subclass for, it also gives some great features, starting up with fricking telepathy at level 1, Entropic Ward is the weakest ability and it's rather meh, then at 10th level you gain straight up immunity to attempts to read your mind, resistance to psychic damage, which is very rare resistance indeed, and as a bonus also do damage back to anyone who does psychic damage to you for free. And then at 14th level you get to make your own permanent slaves, what's not to like in that? The bonus spells you get from GOO are also quite nice, with my personal favorite being Evard's Black Tentacles, which is kind of like better version of Hunger of Hadar. Wizard: War Magic. This is a very easy choice for me, first of all, unlike almost all the other wizard subclasses, it doesn't shoehorn you into using spells of one school, but instead gives abilities that are always going to be great, no matter what spells you want to use, boosts your initiative, ac, and saving throws, all things you will always be happy to have, and you get some small damage boosts as well, though in general, I prefer to have my wizards focus more on controlling the battle and let the martials dish out the damage.

This is a fun idea! I think my top 10 would be: 10. Monster Slayer Ranger 9. Ancestral Guardian Barbarian 8. Redemption Paladin 7. Sun Soul Monk 6. Swashbuckler Rogue 5. Storm Sorcerer 4. Forge Domain Cleric 3. Shadow Monk 2. Divination School Wizard 1. Celestial Warlock Honourable Mentions would be Tempest Cleric,Vengeance Paladin, Arcane Archer, and Shadow Magic Sorcerer.

Mg favourite subclasses are: Barbarian: Totem Warrior Bard: College of Lore Cleric: Grave Domain Druid: Circle of the Shepherd Fighter: Samurai Rogue: Swashbuckler Sorcerer: Divine Soul Warlock: Great Old One Wizard: Diviner

It makes you a hunter instead of a weak fighter. A scout Rogue can kite a melee fighter forever with enough open ground and when the fighter no longer have action surge.

(Though I lean more towards rogues and blasty mages, or anything that can reliably dish out utility abilities and DPS/DPT) If I had to pick my personal favorite subclasses I could only choose a handful of them because I haven't really gotten to be a player in many sessions mostly due to various schedule conflicts in the group I play with. For Cleric I like the Forge Domain as it does grant some extra hardiness on the battlefield and potential utility in social situations and downtime if materials are available. My personal favorite Wizard school is Transmutation, especially the way Liam O'Brien plays it on Critical Role and the Xanathar Transmutation spell: Maximillion's Earthen Grasp. While it is sadly a single-target control spell that also takes concentration to maintain, it does target the STR save which only bulky foes such as Giants, Ogres, or Trolls have a chance at shrugging off almost instantly Divine Soul Sorcerer is pretty nutty as it grants access to the entire Cleric spell list on top of the Sorcerer's allowing it to be a supportive-blasting hybrid class without multiclassing and allows access to the Fire Bolt cantrip if I'm not mistaken like you said you would probably change for the Light Domain Cleric. Lastly, Swashbuckler Rogue is a very fun subclass that I'm fairly certain was designed to piss off Rule-Strict DMs with how much it allows the character to practically glide and bounce across the battlefield with hardly any punishment.

though my favorite character to play is a 2nd level paladin combined with a forge cleric because you get crazy amounts of bulk and can let loose a 4th level divine smite like its nothing

Instead of giving a top 10, I'm gonna say my favorite of each class (excluding artificer as I never played those.) Barbarian: Totem Warrior, particularly bear on level 3, eagle on 6 and either eagle or elk on 16. Bard: Lore Cleric: Storm Druid: Dreams Fighter: Eldritch Knight Monk: Drunken Master Paladin: Vengeance Ranger: Gloomstalker Rogue: Swashbuckler Sorcerer: Droconic Bloodline Warlock: Hexblade Wizard: Evocation.

I never understood why Draconic Bloodline Sorcerers were so popular. All you get is +3 AC and a breath attack (which is barely better than a cantrip). Divine Soul Sorcerers meanwhile get access to the entire Cleric spell list, a sizeable boost to healing output, and they get to fudge a saving throw each day (which can be super clutch)

It's not a top ten "best" list. It's Ted's favorites. Edit: that being said, div wizard 4 life!

Solid choices, Oath of Ancients Paladin to me is pretty dam strong.

While it's not entirely clear in the RAW, I read Aura of the Guardian as you taking whatever damage the target would have taken *after any damage reduction takes place*. For example, a raging barbarian has resistance to slashing, bludgeoning, and piercing damage, so the damage they'd take is halved, thus I read AotG as you taking the exact amount they'd take, which would be half of the damage roll the same as the barbarian would. Similarly, if an ally is somehow vulnerable to damage, you would take that extra damage. The real reason we're using this isn't to make the barbarians and such last longer than they already do, its to keep the squishy allies alive because you can take what they can't. I love the idea of Redemption Paladin because it does what I refer to as a Reverse Cleric, where the baseline cleric is a spellcaster that can be of a divine calling that lets them be more melee, a paladin is a melee class that can take a divine oath to make them be in the front lines less. EDIT: A quick clarification, the damage on the original target is what's getting reduced/improved when it hits you, I read the limitation listed in the ability as you being unable to reduce the damage after it's been transferred to you. To use our raging barbarian example again, he's got resistance, so that sword attack gets halved, the damage is transferred to you, but you have Blade Ward up, which also gives resistance to the same damage. Unfortunately, you can't reduce the damage any further due to the stipulation in the aura, so you don't halve the damage again. Another example is the Heavy Armor Mastery feat which would reduce the damage of slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning damage by 3, that wont work for this damage. Possibly the biggest thing to mention is the Redemption Paladin's own capstone ability, neither effect activates from damage received by the Aura. You can't reduce the damage in any way, so your resistance doesn't matter, and the target has to hit you with an attack, which isn't what's happening with the aura. You do not get to be some super counter shield for everyone in 30 ft., even though that'd be pretty awesome. There is one thing to note though, it only says it can't be reduced in any way, if you've been made vulnerable to that damage type then that means you CAN take extra damage still.

Before I start watching mine are swashbuckler, totem barbarian, evocation wizard, grave cleric, shadow monk, assassin rogue, Hexblade, shadow sorcerer, moon Druid, and eldritch knight not in order just spitballing some

I think you.cannot abuse magic missile with the Evocator feature, that one say that you apply the bonus to one roll of damage, and if i remember right Crawford explain that in the Sage advice, but.maybe i am missing something or i am confused with other feature. About the topic, i agree with most of the subclases, AND i am happy that not all people forgot the sword coast book, Way of the long death Is a so cool subclass

@spruceschmickington3005

There's an old sage advice that basically tries to argue that because Magic missile says "simultaneously" then you roll one damage die and each magic missile deals that much damage, allowing you to multiply the Evocation damage.

Hexblade also has the Eldritch Smite invocation which can knock an opponent prone with NO SAVE. It's great, and if you go ranged you can knock dragons out of sky )) (so I've heard, I'm a melee 'lock).

Man i love hexblade. Just made myself a nightcrawler assassin type

My first d&d character was an oath of redemption paladin; a half elf con man who decided to go straight and use his talky skills for good

The difference between Quivering Palm and Touch of Long Death, is that you have to make and attack roll with quivering palm, where as Touch of Long Death says you merely need to touch them. I think it's a fair trade off, but I haven't had much opportunity to use either ability myself, so if anyone can dispute otherwise, I would very much like to know.

I would agree with 60 percent of your choices only because I would have unearthed arcana in this list. Wish you would have put in the Artillerist from the Artificer class, it's one of the best Jack of all trades in the game. It's also my favorite character.

Huge fan of the tempest cleric and I agree insect plague is an odd pick.

Personally, I think the Scout rogue makes a better ranger than the ranger does! This is especially true with the new animal Warrior sidekick now available in Tasha's. However, I also think multiclassing it with the Gloom Stalker, Horizon Walker or the new Fey Wanderer ranger subclasses is a great idea too. If you start out rogue, you get ALL of the rogue's skill proficiencies PLUS an extra ranger proficiency PLUS Survival and Nature. You don't even have to play a half-elf to be a ridiculous skill monkey. ;) And you know, when I FIRST opened the 5e PH and looked through it, I read through all the classes, focused on the College of Lore bard, and said to myself, THIS is the best class in the game, bar none. I'm happy to say that nothing published since has changed my opinion ... though I'm always looking to optimize through a one-or-two-level dip into another class, and for that, well ... there really is NOTHING better than a couple of levels of Hexblade warlock, is there? Medium Armor + Shield means you don't need a DEX above 14, especially since you can use your CHA score for weapon attacks, and you can get Eldritch Blast (based on CHA) for ranged attacks ... plus add your CHA mod to every attack if you go to level 2. So you get almost ALL of the really good benefits of College of Valor along with the massive benefits of the College of Lore. AND you get access to the Shield spell, which sucks when you can only use it with your (max 5) warlock spell slots, but KICKS @SS when you can use it with a bard's many, many 1st-level spell slots. So yeah ... I'm a HUGE fan of the Hexblade warlock too, but to be honest, ONLY as a one-or-two-level dip (well, maybe three for a paladin, so you can go Pact of the Blade and use CHA as your attack mod on ANY weapon). Can you even IMAGINE how tanky a paladin X/warlock 3 combo with access to the Shield spell and heavy armor could be?

Taber McFarlin RAW you can add the feature to ALL of the missiles. So your (1d4+1)x3 turns into (1d4+1+Int Mod)x3. If you really want to cheese it, dip into Hexblade for Hexblade’s Curse and aim all the missiles on the cursed target. This turns each missile into a +1 dagger that procs on your Intelligence and deals your proficiency bonus in damage. At level 20, with 20 Int, you can on turn 1 deal: (1d4+12)x(2+spell level) So assuming a fifth level slot for Overchannel, this is (1d4+12)x7. You can do a minimum of 91 damage without having to roll to hit, at no save, nullified by a Shield spell. With Overchannel this goes up to 112. If you decide to for some reason use your 9th level slot on a Magic Missile, you could deal 143 damage minimum, or 178 maximum. (Or you could cast Meteor Swarm, or Time Stop, or Wish, or any other 9th level spell-Magic Missile is probably not the best choice for it.)

"Fewer than half your hit points remaining."

A character I would like to play would be a conquest paladin with 2 levels dip into hexblade. Get maybe swords burst and eldritch blast for cantrip and Agonizing Blast and Grasp of Hadar/Eldritch Mind for invocations. Start with Paladin, that way you can focus on charisma and con while pulling people closer to be afected by your aura and smited to oblivion while having a decent option for long range and wearing freaking full plate. Grab a sword and a shield and you are good to go. Maybe not the greatest damage dealer, but a consistent one in my opinion, with options for every range and good AC and HP.

The one thing i hate about the Oath of Redemption paladin is they got rid of the base 16 AC if you have no armor and are not using a shield. To me this makes the whole flavor of this class giving up your armor and shield to redeem myself. I want to play a half orc one

Not that Rogue Scout isn't good, but I do very much prefer Fighter Scout (and yes, for a character focused on archery, the Rogue Scout's ability to move away from trouble is great, but a wilderness Scout type in my mind really feels like they should be at least somewhat capable up close as well, which the Fighter's extra HP and Second Wind also provide). I think it does multiclasses quite well with some Rogue levels, but also begs for you to take the Martial Adept feat which ends up with a really nice range of uses for your Superiority Dice. (Tunnel Fighting if your DM doesn't instantly smite you for wanting to take it, has nice synergy, letting you use your Superiority Dice to avoid a hit/reduce it's damage while still letting you make AoO)

Dude your name is actually grammatically labyrinthine

I have a bit of an opinion on Warlock based on the fact that Hexblade is so popular and is considered the "fix" to warlock: Patrons shouldn't be the subclass, Pacts should be. Hear me out, nobody in their right mind picks Tome or Chain if you're a Hexblade, right? It's always Hexblade + Blade Pact and a few invocations that improve it like Thirsting Blade and Improved Pact Weapon. Why not merge Hexblade into Pact of the Blade, remove the shadowfell flavoring, and instead giving it Thirsting Blade at level 6 as an Extra Attack similar to Sword and Valar Bard? Now you can assign *any* patron to it and get a ton of flavor. Do the same with Tome and Chain, except since we don't have a subclass to go off of like Hexblade, either grab more of the invocations (don't forget to look at UA) or think about altering some other things instead to solve some other problems with the class, or rather, the spells "unique" to the class. Hey look, it's our good old friend Eldritch Blast, the thing any class can take a dip into warlock to take or just grab from Magic Initiate (Warlock), essentially giving any class a magical heavy crossbow that does multiple shots as you level up. The fact that it's recommended by literally everyone to consider taking a dip into warlock for this is a red flag to me. Here a couple ideas I've had to fix this: The first is to reduce the damage die to a d8, but make a baseline feature of the Tome Pact improve it back to a d10. This still makes it available for Level 1 and 2 warlocks but doesn't make it a stronger option than Fire Bolt. "Doesn't that kind of gimp the damage then?" Only at the first couple of levels, but it also makes you weigh in taking Blade or Chain instead. Agonizing Blast is still an invocation to take at level 2 to improve the damage a bit. Alternatively, just make it Force damage Fire Bolt, so instead of extra attack rolls as you level up, you just get the extra damage die, UNLESS you take Pact of the Tome which could have a baseline feature of changing that to the additional shots instead. Think of it like an ancient arcane secret that comes inside the Book of Shadows. You could also do the least popular option of just binding Eldritch Blast to the Tome. Warlock still has quite a few damaging cantrips, just update Agonizing Blast to "Agony" and make it work for all warlock cantrip damage. This still encourages multiclassing, but not just a 1 or 2 level dip, it should be the same amount of dip as every other class when considered for multiclassing. Also, remember, Wizards has added new Pact types before too, like with Pact of the Star Chain, which was interesting but, in my opinion, too specific. I read one person's attempt to fix the Warlock change it around from Star Chain to Mark, so that it can be flavored for the different patrons and represents something that is very fitting to a warlock in tattoos or brands, a common thing with cultists. So then what about the Patrons? Well, the additions to the spell lists wouldn't change, those are there to help give some flavor to you as a warlock, it's just that the patron becomes the secondary to the subclass rather than the thing that actually changes your playstyle. Patrons can still give their first feature too, as a gift from the patron. As for the rest of the features, either still give features at specific levels as they currently do, changing which levels those are, or instead we can have invocations for particular patrons. This way you can choose how you manifest your patron's gift rather than how you...can somehow not have to sleep anymore because you have a book. Can someone please explain why that's a thing? What's the moon have to do with Tome warlocks and why do they not have to sleep anymore? Anyway, allows you to not be bound to the specific features each patron had and choose other potential options instead (you know, like half of Undying, so you can still have that awesome undead patron and not feel like you got shafted). I personally look at invocations as asking your patron for power in specific forms in the first place, or in the case of GOO just weaving it into how you want while praying they don't notice you or the being so entwined into your mind that it knows what you want and grants it to you without you having to ask because you don't even know whom you're asking.

Grave domain is my absolute favorite, kind of sucks and I’m playing out of the abyss so things are incredibly insane but hey, it’s a good time
