Can't believe this guy got through this whole video without once asking us what we knew about rolling down in the deep.
Adele is passe.
I cant fathom it.
@@ericpeterson8732Think he meant Masked Wolf - Astronaut in the Ocean
The best multiclass is with the Bard, for ..... _reasons._
For all the sea shanties you can sing! Right?
…right?
*New bard college unlocked: College of H3nt@!*
Bard: *Procceds to roll a Nat 1*
Dragon: Keep your Kentucky fried fetish away from me!
*Procceds to melt the Bard with acid*
Oh so you can be the Soggy Bottom Boys
Obviously, it's because the Human world is a mess. Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there!
This is BY FAR my favorite Warlock subclass. The flavor, the mechanics, it’s all just *chef’s kiss*.
Great damage, great utility, awesome flavor. I have a sea elf fathomless warlock I bring to a lot of one-shots that's a blast to play.
When the dm ask “how do you kill him” after I roll a critical as tentacle warlock 😈
Me as the forever DM. " Oh no! Not again!"
Naur!
Oh you already know how😉😏
NOOOO
"Bigby's Almighty Pimpslap"
I read the title as HOMELESS warlock, and was super excited to know what this subclass will be like. 😂🤣🤣🙃
The patron would be the Bowery King from the John Wick movies.
Ah yes, the Fat Homeless Warlock. Truly a subclass ever made. 😂
Just make a Great Old One Warlock whose patron is "The Illuminati"
A Warlock with the Far Traveler, Hermit or Urchin background. 😂
D20 Modern Warlock, with the Ghost In The Machine patron.
...not a joke, that's actually a thing in Unearthed Arcana.
Crab themed. All the tentacles become crab claws, take levels in Wizard for the Necromancer subclass, animate undead crab legions. Call him the Crabomancer.
As someone whose favorite warlocks are Fathomless and Great Old One I will never be free of tentacle jokes.
As someone who's favorite playable race is the Centaur, I know your pain. But they're all horse jokes in my case.
Kidnaps the wizard to cast shape earth and fill it using a decaner of endless water to create fixed teleport locations

Kraken week brought us an early gift
I love fathomlesswarlock because of how easy it is to reflavor spells with tentacles.
Time to make my totally original character Javey Dones.
currently playing a fathomless warlock dip with a graviturgy wizard, it feels fucking awesome. no one gets to reach me or my squad unless i let them , and my ranger loves plopping down spike growths for me to turn into an organic arcane blender. looking forward to the day i can play a character whos main lvls are in fathomless warlock
There just no reason for the phrase “icy nonsense” to make me giggle for so long
Glad to see you made a Kraken Week video too!
Fathomless has some interesting ideas. I do like the controlling route. Slowing effects without saves would be fun. Telekinetic, Crusher, Ray of Frost, etc just be the annoying guy.
One of the most overlooked benefits of the Fathomless Warlock is Guardian Coil. As a Reaction, after you or your ally within ten feet of your Tentacle of the Deep take damage, prevent 1d8, eventually 2d8, damage. Keep in mind the EXACT WORDING: When you or a creature you can see within ten feet of your tentacle TAKES DAMAGE, you can use your reaction to reduce it.
It doesn’t say reduce the damage dealt, it says once they take damage, reduce the damage to that creature. This is important, because this means you can choose to apply it before, or after, Resistance or Vulnerability. Be your Bear Totem Barbarian’s best friend.
I feel like this would work with a swords bard to make a good island hopper ex-pat soldier
I had a fathomless warlock/tempest cleric who’s warlock patron was a leviathan that lived in a rimmed mountain, holding a vast and deep inland sea… that was slowly going dry thanks to global warming. So, he was sent on a mission to strengthen bonds with a god of rain, to petition them into establishing a permanent rainfall over the mountain.
It was nice to have a friendly warlock patron who just needed help and really disliked the eldritch profiling that they received.
It was also the first time i had a character be devoted to multiple powers, which was quite fun to explore.
Ooooh that's a cool idea, I must steal it
@@icelessgreen6160 feel free! I think i took pact of the chain and had an imp reskinned as a seagull.
I was hoping you would cover this one!!!! I'm super excited to play the character I made around this class, hopefully one day haha
Your videos made me start playing DnD now I’m obsessed and in debt because of how expensive books are
I absolutely love this subclass! I have a Pact of the Chain Sea Elf Fathomless Warlock I bring to a lot of one-shots. She plays up the charisma side of things by being a musician who got rejected from bard colleges for not having all the other bard skills. Her familiar is an imp that was true polymorphed into a squid she calls Mr. Cuddles (his actual name is Grover). She's so much fun to play ☺
Absolutely concur with this and Genie being my favorite Warlock patrons. Not even necessarily mechanically (well...yes, mechanically too, but I didn't put your level of thought into it - I just saw "easily transportable pocket dimension" and "ability to breath and survive water's cold and crushing pressure" and fell in love), but just the scope of potential patrons.
My current fathomless projects are a plasmoid who's convinced they're a materially-trapped water elemental (patron: Ben-Hadar, elemental prince of water) and an Owlin armorer artificer underwater archaeologist who prefers swimming to flying (patron, requiring DM approval: an ancient topaz dragon, who's happy for a treasure/squid delivery service that doesn't require getting wet).
If you as a DM really want to see the fathomless warlock get the most out of fathomless plunge and get up to some serious shenanigans, give them a decanter of endless water and a wand or blessing that gives them the mold earth cantrip. Preferably before level 5.
The Hat sent, curse him to the briny depths.
I would also suggest that sea weed, school of fish or other flavoring could replace the octopus arms.
@youmightbeadnd I have rewatched this at least five times now. Thanks for making this.
Just know, content like this helps pierce the dark that is my current struggle with depression.
I hope you're doing well. We all struggle sometimes. Try to keep moving and don't be afraid to lean on those you love!
the puns, u've outdone urself sir
Literally been waiting in this one forEVER! Thank you.
This reminds of me of another Warlock Subclass. The Lurker in the Deep. Which is essentially this
Lurker in the Deep was the UA version of the Fathomless.
I love the idea of the class and it's very near the top of my to play list. Thanks YMBADND
I read this so wrong. Fathomless not fatherless.
To be fair there is plenty of people who would play this to appeal to their own fantasies that I would call fatherless behavior
Finally. One of my favourite subclasses. Also I'm surprised I didn't see that coming. Like I thought you were gonna do the open sea paladin for kraken week for some reason
Sleet storm but its a bunch of frozen clams landing down on ya
This is the Cthulhu warlock I usually play because the GOOlock just doesn't have enough tentacles and the crowd control is just nice
Woo!! One of my favorite Warlocks for Kraken Week!
I’m so happy, this is my favourite warlock subclass and one of my favourite subclasses overall
I’m running a campaign for a heap of new players and these are awesome for that.
But the only video I need next is on the illusion wizard!
It’d a a great help for you to put this up next,
Thanks
Once played a pvp one-shot, capture the flag. Played a Fathomless Warlock / Giant Barbarian (Pact of the Blade + stuff like mirror image and armor of agathys). To quote me during that session; "I AM THE RAID BOSS"
Kraken week! Love it!!! One of my favorite Warlock types!!!!
That sponsor is just perfection.
The moment I saw this subclass, I knew I needed to add it to my swashbuckler character to effectively create a cursed pirate.
Great video!
i was expecting a tentacle joke, but not within the first thirty seconds
I made a Pact of the Tome Fathomless W with the ritual invocation. He's very much inspired by the drowned priests of the Iron Islands in Game of Thrones.
I feel that fathomless is the closest to 3rd editions aberrant sorcerer, with all of the evards black tentacles association
YEEEESSSS MY FAVORITE SUBCLASS TO MIX WITH SWASHBUCKLER ROGUE
BEST WARLOCK CLASS
I went with the Pact of the Blade myself, but you've given me alot of reasons to consider Talisman instead
Nice, a video about the subclass of my first ever warlock.
I love the flavor of this subclass, a shame I never get in sea related campaigns 😢
FINALLY HE MADE THE VIDEO
You even made the sponsor sea themed
definitely my favorite subclass for my favorite class !
slappy the tentacle is my best friend
7:24 R.I.P. Mr. Thomson
I adore this warlock 👏
I'd like to nominate Path of the Depths Barbarian for the Kraken themed thing that's going around. It is technically official and was made by wotc and as a LoL Bilgewater crossover with a group of subclasses. Was on DnDB but removed for unknown reasons but can find it on sites like wikidot etc.
If you multiclass this with a swarm keeper ranger you can make a waterbender.

This subclass and the bard in general are on a FBI watch list
Should do the holy version of this subclass, the Tempest Cleric. Currently playing one and it has some great mechanics, like Wrath of the Storm and Destructive Wrath.
I want to play my Teifling Fathomless Warlock again so bad
Honesrtly combining this with summon Shadow Spawn with the Despair option to further cut off movement by using the souls of Davy Jones locker to further hold things dowm can just break a boss fight by robbing it of literally all of its movement with no saves whatso ever. Combine this with your friendly wizard casting silence, and you turn your forever dm into a forever player. Try it, if ya land lovers dare.
I've actually had a Fathomless I've been waiting to play for forever who's flavor is that they are cursed so that they are turning into a sea monster. I need to play them so badly that I feel like I'm going insane.
This subclass sounds like it could be an utter PAIN for mobile monsters since you have so many ways of reducing their movement.
Fathomless Warlocks tend to cause DMs to rip their hair out. Lance of Lethargy, grasp of Hadar, Repelling Blast, tentacle strikes, all in your Evard’s Black Tentacles. It’s a Warlock cheese grater. If you just want them to hate you instead, use Sleet Storm. Difficult terrain, with 20 feet of movement knocked off, while you push and pull them to the middle of the area, and relentlessly mock them as they lay prone.
@@nocteexmortis979 Add a Conquest Paladin to stack fear and potentially NO movement on top of that, and a ranged Rogue or Fighter can comfortably pick off the targets from a distance. Forget cheese grater, that shit is a BLENDER.
@@shadowldrago 😁 I know, but you can’t tell them all the secrets, they have to experiment. That’d be like me telling them about the fact that Pact of the Tome Fathomless Warlock is ridiculous because you suddenly become the best ritual caster in the game, plus pick up Guidance and Spare the Dying.
@@nocteexmortis979 Both of those DO sound very useful. I might make a Fathomless Warlock. Depends if I can think of a good concept for a character.

Yay more warlock
WHEN ARE WE GONA GET "yOU MIGHT BE A SPACE CLOWN" SHORT?
I kinda wanna multiclass this with Open Seas paladin
I don't want to go read it myself. That's literally why I watch the videos.
Please make celestial warlock! A bunch of us are waiting!
Can i just point out how is there an ocean themed warlock before an ocean themed druid or ranger
7:00 I don't recognize this fight or this lady, what Avatar spinoff/fan project is this from?
I want to play this so badly! But Im stuck as always the DM/GM, never a player. Maybe someday .
I Love Warlock
One thing to exploit, on my table that i dm the warlock/bard did it and we checked and is raw: the tentacle didnt dissapear when the pc falls to zero hp, also, is unatackble, enemies cant attack him, there's no npc chart for it, also is not a spell, so you can just use wall of force (an ally can), summon him on the other side of the wall, and start attacking the enemy each turn, you can encase the enemy on the wall of force ball and just sit down and see how the tentacle start slapping the bbeg to death for the duration
On my table, the patron was mr krabbs from bob squarepants and when the pc almost died on the sea, he offer him a deal, 100gp each month as a vip suscription of the sea powers, and with the bonus of a mr squidward to summon (the tentacle), so squidward literally appears, sometimes o the worst moments, like when its taking a bath, to help in battle, and one per ingame month, bob just arrives to collect 100gp from the pc... but imagining squidward slapping a bear to dead is really funny 😂🤣
I have been COOKING with this subclass. Made a Yuan-ti pureblood character that multiclassed into way of mercy monk. Named this character “the sea serpent” by flavoring the tentacles as snakes out eels. With all the oceanic potential and all the “storm magic” the potential is endless. Paired with the inky tentacle magic tattoo this quickly became a character who can keep enemies at BAY. See what I did there? 😅😢
👍for kraken week
I do have a character idea for fathomless though it kind of leans towards being an INCEL.
Drow male tiered of sexism in their matriarchal society made a pact with a creature of the deep that wants to ascend to godhood and overthrow Loth. If successful the Under Dark will be flooded and the faithful will be transformed into something resembling Ursula from the Disney version of The Little Mermaid.
Draconic Sorcerer next please 🙏🙏
Anybody else besides me think, “Hmmm Conquest Paladin Fear + Fathomless space control = BIG damage”? 😂
1 more video and you'll have 100 videos on your channel
Make it a good one :) (not that any other of your videos aren't great)
Also which sourcebook is the fathomless warlock in?
THANK YOU, MY LIST OF CHARACTORS HAS A WET BOY
Now that I think about it, do celestial warlocks exist? Can it be done?
Yeah.
I've been waiting for a video on that one.
Yeah, there’s an entire subclass devoted to it, and they are kickass healers and party power multipliers.
Shit, I have never been this early
Is there a Monk/Wizard subclass if not dude could you homebrew one for me I really need your help😢❤ love your chanel💕❤️
bottomless warlock
6:59 Where is this from? It's not from the show but it looks good...
Oathbreaker Paladin pls
please please let there be fat and homeless jokes
nooooo
Yeah
Is this a part of Kraken week? Or just really good timing?
Edit: KRAKEN WEEK KRAKEN WEEK KRAKEN WEEK KRAKEN WEEK KRAKEN WEEK
No mention of Kraken Week?
Can you do monster slayer ranger?
Man, I'm early.
But we didn't get a poll on this, what happened to democracy?
_You are not the Senate._
We demand the right to arbitrarily string a particular class along for ages!!
I agree but it is Kraken week
Snow warlock...... Mmm 🤔 so if I wanted to make one of those, how would I go about it?
I've thought about it as well. Was thinking ask DM to let me choose cold damage type spells only. And possibly change eldritch blast to 2D4, one of which is cold. Or add a scaling cold damage dice as an invocation.
Patron could be entities like the Yuki-onna or Ded Moroz (before he was turned into another iteration of Santa Claus).
You could have the element or the plane of cold itself as your patron, why limit yourself to a regular creature when the unfatomable force of cold itself can be your patron?
