Just a slight correction, Spirit shroud doesn't do an additional d8 for every spell slot level upcast. With a fourth level slot The damage increases by 1d8. But then it takes two spell slot levels to increase again. Also, at around 18:50 you say you have a +13 to hit. I'm trying to figure out what I missed. I know you would have +5 from your proficiency bonus, and +5 from your charisma. What is the other +3 coming from? Now I see that you maxed your charisma after that. So now I'm even more confused.
@@brynwtsn thanks for pointing that out! I didn’t mention the scaling of the spell because I’m trying to keep the run times down. But it’s an important clarification. The damage increases with spell slot levels 5,7, and 9. At 18:50 I was referring not to the to hit, but to the damage modifier. It was at a +13 because using Aura of Hate, and Great weapon master, we are adding our charisma (+4)twice and our proficiency (+5)once. So +13 total. Our to hit modifier would be a +9 at this point. Thank you for the comment!
I like that build and it gave me good inspiration, but I have to make some adjustments for mine because I want the Tiefling, so no extra feat on Level 1. 😅
@@ovoss89 Devil Death Knight! I like it! I was say gonna if you start level 1 in warlock then you wouldn’t need the Magic Initiate Wizard origin Feat. But then you miss out on heavy armor from Paladin, so that might not be worth it. Actually after some thinking, you could do without Tough at level one, and then at level 7, warlock level 2, take the Lessons of the Old One’s invocation to get an extra Origin Feat, and take tough then.
Wait so at that point if you casted Divine Favor, had Form of Dread and Spirit Shroud with a level 5 warlock spell slot, you would deal on average : 6d6+48+6d8 which is close to a 96 damage per turn, or 99 accounting for the great weapon fighting fighting style, though that doesn't account for when you miss attacks. Still, it's a lot with relatively little ressource expenditure, and that's not even counting divine and eldritch smites or even crits 😅
@alexandredeberdt4066 Yeah the damage is nuts here! Next time I get to play in a high level campaign I’m gonna bring this build for sure. Paladin/Warlock is famous for a reason it seems!
Bro I really like these videos, but please for the love of all that draws breath under the sun, change that music/speaking mix. With headphones, it’s still quite difficult to hear you over the mythic violin theme. Nice build, as always.
@@Macchiavelie My bad, I’ll have the next one balanced better. I was rushing to get this one out so I didn’t check it properly. Thanks for your support!
Please do not use ai. You may believe, falsely, that it simplifies your workload, but seriously, just.... Just don't. It's offensive to actual artists. Commission someone to actually do art for you, learn it yourself, or just don't use art in your videos. It's painfully obvious when you do, and it looks horrible, always.
@@Irokutarabelmont I understand where you are coming from. I reached out to some artists whose work I admire when I was planning to start the channel. However commissioning four art pieces a month for my weekly uploads would be hundreds of dollars. I work full time to support my family, so I definitely can’t afford that. And the channel is too small for any artist to be interested in a sort of exposure compensation for their art. As for learning to make the art myself, I’m already stretching my time a bit alongside my real world responsibilities to make the channel, so I can’t attempt to learn a new skill and make these videos. But thank you for the feedback! In a perfect world I would love to partner with an artist, but realistically it’s not feasible at this point in time.
@Xenochrome If you don't see the harm ai is causing in visual media, your scope is much too small. You're the kind of person that would ask to pay for art in exposure, aren't you?

I am curious to see what you can do with a dampire or Dullahan start

Bro chill 🤣 You are telling him to learn to draw or pay an artist, which he may not know or cannot do, just enjoy the video, don't be rude

Are you an “artist” or are you taking offense on behalf of a theoretical one?
