Initial setup.

Build plan, warlock

Multiclass options

• SORLOCK: Nerfed. Quicken Spell now 50% more expensive than DnD5E, 3 point cost per shot (a Fireball spell worth), and need 3 levels in Sorcerer minimum. Sorc does get Haste at level 5 at a lvl 3 slot, but 2 levels of Warlock to get Invocations costs the level 6 spells like Circle of Death. Too pricy.
• PALOCK: Trash at range. Would need to switch to Pact of the Blade variant, not necessarily preferable. Oathbreaker highest damage option with Aura of Hate, effectively the Lifedrinker invocation but a great deal earlier in level.
• BARLOCK: Maybe, but 2 levels of Warlock to get Invocations costs the level 6 spell slots. Would need College of Lore to get decent other spells like Haste and Fireball. Level 6 spell loss is very pricy.
