Wyll - Pact Boon

Recommendations, here? I'm only mildly familiar with 5e, and I've never had anything to do with Warlocks, or familiars. I have no idea what is a good choice here.

I like Blade thematically but Tome is probably the best if you're just trying to squeeze the most usefulness out of him.

Kind of depends on what your other party is.

Blade is certainly thematic for role-playing him. Tome would be good if you don't already have people that can cast those same spells.

Whatever you choose, mostly any warlock is going to lean very heavily on just spamming eldritch blast anyway. Blade is kind of nice for the case when he ends up in close melee and a ranged spell gets disadvantage.

My main is a melee Paladin. I haven't picked up all the companions yet, so I'm not married to a particular lineup.

lvl 2 for eldritch upgrade, then the rest into sorc for double eldritch!

Do you know if you can still convert the warlock slots into sorcerer points ever short rest?

[Mike Garrison]

I have done the "sorlock" thing, but ultimately I found I preferred just straight warlock. YMMV, of course.

yes but the game eats your regular spell slots before the warlock ones so you can't cheese it as much. you don't need any other spells though so convert away and blast your enemies to oblivion
