I'm DM'ing a campaign where one of my players is a fighter lvl 12, and the party found a black pearl containing the Fathomless imprisoned in it. The Fathomless offered to give him power in exchange for freeing him by sacrificing some of his own power (levels). The Fighter agreed and gave the Fathomless as much power as he could until he passed out. My question is: If this build was a Fighter/Warlock multiclass, which split would be best at lvl 20? Fighter 8/ Warlock 12? or F9/W11? Or maybe a different split? Thanks for any help!

I played a version of this at level 11, awhile ago. But I used Plasmoid. It was inspired when I noticed that the Shape Self ability allows you to create pseudopods, but doesn’t remove them afterwards, or allow you to use the same one again. So technically, after a while, you just become a mass of pseudopods. I reflavoured them as tentacles, and thus was born Tentacles(pronounced Tentacleeze, like it was an ancient Greek name).

My favorite warlock subclass. Personally, what I like to do with it as a more defensive minded player is go harengon and take the alert feat to combo with the sleet storm spell. Alert pushes you to +11 initiative at level 5 and gives ranged attacks against you from inside the sleet storm disadvantage, and the spell itself is the best defense in the game against concentration/sight based features and combos excellently with repelling blast and tentacle of the deep. Plus the juxtaposition of an eldritch tentacle bunny is really fun flavor imo. There's also some tech with the 14th level feature, dm allowing. If you take the mold earth cantrip from pact of the tome or have an ally with that cantrip, you can excavate 20 cubic feet of earth and blow all 3 of your level 5 slots on create water to create 150 gallons or approximately 20 cubic feet of water. You now have a pond you can teleport your entire party to before you enter that dungeon, and for completely free after a short rest.

Super late to the party, but finally watching. Reminds me of your frost mage build. I ran that character, I forget the level, somewhere in the middle range, for a one shot. Three different giant enemies charged at us. Well, two charged at us. The other only had base twenty feet of movement and went no where. My allies kept me away from the other two and I kept that one way on the other side of the battlefield. Super satisfying.

I made a similar build a long time ago and I have to say this is by far my favorite warlock subclass! Also, another good race option would be Simic hybrid which has so many possibilities for watery/tentacly USABLE body modifications (not just cosmetic as with custom lineage), from crab claws and carapace (some kraken lores they are some crab/squid hybrid) to extra tentacles that can always be used with grappling appendages or nimble climber that can make your cosmetic squid legs let you easily climb things, which for squid/octopus type creatures just makes sense. It’s unfortunate that the grappling appendages are strength based, but fun nonetheless! That race was my choice at least 😁

I'm actually running a Pact of Chain Fathomless warlock on and off who, by great coincidence, made a pact with a rather powerful kraken. She's a member of one of the many seafaring clans on the great island chain of her world and after years of exploring, looting, fishing, and fighting, managed to prove herself in an awful test when one of its warlocks died. She probably should have wondered more about that last detail there and exactly what happened. The build's actually fairly similar, though with a few differences I took for roleplay purposes

For 15th level invocations I like Chains of Carceri (it's exclusive to chain-locks) which lets you cast Hold Monster as long as you are targeting celestial, fiends, or elemental without expending spell slots or using material components. Pretty nice. Gift of the Everliving Ones giving you max heals when within 100ft of you familiar is pretty nice too.

I always felt that the Fathomless was underrated and flew under the radar when it released. It just had amazing built in control potential and additional damage all tied into its BA which Warlocks rarely had a use for in the first place. I think an argument can be made that if you want to take a Warlock from 1 to 20, Fathomless is the strongest option. Its really between it, Genie, and Celestial. And Celestial "cheats" by having all of those Cleric spells.

One of the Subclasses, or really sub-subclasses I've always wanted to do, is have a Land Druid, but instead of having any dry land, having a Coral Reef, Open Ocean, or Deep Ocean Land Druid that is probably an aquatic race like Locatha, Sea-Elf, or Triton or even that one Mermaid Race from Ginnydi's Video. The Character would get all the Land Druid Stuff, but get a different spell list related to Ocean stuff, all should probably have the "Control Water" spell.

One of the Coolest things about Evard's black tentacles is that it's a Strength or Dexterity *CHECK* not a save, and not Athletics or Acrobatics. So it can get around the crazy high proficiency bonus' from high level monsters. even creatures with +7 to strength, that's around 55% chance to succeed and that's in a vacuum not considering magic items boosting save DC or Allies who can give disadvantage or cut their saves.

I played a fathomless warlock using the half-caster playtest rules and it was a blast! I felt like a tactical genius between vortex warp, repelling blast, grasp of hadar, telekinetic feat, misty step, and the tentacle positioning my allies and enemies basically at will. Plus I could take evard's black tentacles much sooner since it was on that spell list.

@24:35 - _Grasp of Hadar_ _Hunger of Hadar_ blocks vision THROUGH it as well, not just IN it.

It began rather vanilla, but I did flavor this as an elf ice mage. The twist was reflavoring the kraken tentacle as planted an eldritch tree that created thorny fields of ice (that secretly ripped holes in the dimensional fabric).

This is such a cool idea for a “ttrpg week”

I believe the 2024 PHB will allow the caster to move their Cloud of Daggers.

It will, though the mechanics are different in other ways. Surprised they didn’t talk about it yesterday.

Pact of the Chain is nice, but for me I'd go with Pact of the Tome. Have a book made out of seaweed. I'd pick up cantrips like thorn whip, which I'd reflavour to look like a tentacle. Even Bigby's hands says it appears as a tentacle. Too bad you can't get grasping vine. That could be fun.

I made a character using the Malenti background from one of the technically unofficial Eberron books. Basically, you're a sahuagin in the skin of another species. Fathomless warlock and tempest cleric. I'm not an optimizer but it seems fun.

I've always wanted a chance to grab the witch sight invocation. It's such a high level requirement, but I feel like level 15 is a great time to be able to see everyone for who they really are.
