Meet Seraphel Vane and Lumen, his pseudodragon familiar. He's a Paladin 1 / Celestial Warlock X for an upcoming Tomb of Annihilation campaign.

Meet Atcoatl, my Tortle Sea Druid for an upcoming Tomb of Annihilation campaign.

Hi! We're starting a Tomb of Annihilation campaign next month. When ordering the mini for my first player character - a celestial warlock with pact of the blade - I also ordered a few other minis I thought were cool to play either in this campaign or a future one to combine shipping costs.

One of them is Uxas the Reborn. Now this mini gives obvious monk vibes, but it also made me think of Warcraft's demon hunters; using infernal magic to fight fire with fire. The new Infernal Pact origin with its Infernal Sight and the Infernal Bulwark feat with its Devil’s Flesh seem like a great fit. Using Drow for the species to have Darkness he can see through himself also seems fitting.

But the "problem" is that the Pact Seeker background (required for the Infernal Pact origin feat) and the Infernal Bulwark/Dragoon are mostly focused on Constitution and Charisma. That would lend themselves well for a bladelock, but I'm already playing the celestial bladelock so it would be nice to play something different.

Ideally something that is unarmored and dual wielding to fit the mini. I have a Drow Aberrant Sorcerer build that would work well with the Infernal feats, but that obviously wouldn't be using the weapons, so it's not a perfect fit for the mini. I've also been playing around with an Oath of the Noble Genies paladin to also get unarmored defense (and then pick Infernal Dragon or another feat), but it doesn't feel like a perfect fit. Dex would probably be low as you can't increase it with the background.

So basically I was wondering if there were other options I might have missed. We'll be playing 2024 with pointbuy, but we can use spells and sub-classes from 2014 if they haven't been updated yet.
