That’s one of my favorite warlock subclasses! I like how it combines well with aasimar both thematics and mechanics. The celestial relavation with the radiant soul ability works great together. Celestial relavation adds radiant damage to your spells and radiant soul adds more damage when spells deals radiant damage.
When they put these perfect species ideas out there and take there time they give you this awesome circumstance to build this character that is cohesive. The aasimar celestial warlock not only works in all the mechanical facets, but you can role play it a bunch of different ways and it works. Fallen pact of the blade evil aligned? Yes please, chaotic neutral radiant soul pact of the chain !! All viable, all work, all so different. That’s a well designed class in my opinion.
I’m playing one at my Monday game
A couple sessions ago our Star Druid and I chained guiding bolted the same target
It was glorious
I’m growing to love this sub class
Thanks for this video
Side note 3 out of 5 of our party at least the main party have healing
The rogue has a healing kits and the healer feat
The Druid has healing
And my warlock has healing light
This makes it hard for our dm to TPK the party or to kill any of our characters outright
Duel guiding bolts is some serious threats. It’s a cool thing to have almost everyone be able to heal. It dose ease pressure of classes that tend to be dedicated healers. So you could see some more offensive clerics and the such, which is nice.
Ive played this subclass 3 different times and every time. A few different invocation swaps and it really can be made into any role
That’s what makes the warlock the best man it’s so versatile
I've just recently chosen this as a multiclass. Two levels fighter and now everything gets put into celestial warlock. It's lots of fun so far. I flavoured it as having an overly zealous/black and white "inner voice" that presents himself as the God of war, trying to make my Aasimar slaying all the "bad people". She's still fighting his influence, but we'll see... 😅
That’s a cool concept, I like the love hate thing you seem to have going with the relationship with the patron.
Playing a Barbarian Zealot/Celestial Warlock in Vecna Eve of Ruin. The rage is when someone hurts her or those she cares for. And she stopped fighting the "rage" and allows it to take over and it gave her more power "warlock" so its pretty cool concept and is working pretty well.
How are you handling the offset of concentration spells and all other spell casting. Considering how the split would be wouldn’t you mostly deal your damage from your attacks? And then use spells for utility?
Making a celestial warlock for a one shot and in super excited!!! The DM suggested the subclass and has a cool story for the patron waitin for me !!!!
That’s awesome. The warlock is my favorite class. You can do so much with it. If you could try and sit down and figure out what the nature of your pact is and really flesh that out cus it could be a lot of fun! Especially if your dm already seems excited about it
@@TheSinisterheroes I'm so happy to report my celestial tome warlock was AWESOME!!!! i got to heal a bunch, use my super beefy eldritch blast as well and a cantrip called hand of radiance. i also took the invocations book of ancient secrest and beast speech so i had a familiar too hahaha it was a(n eldritch) BLAST!!!!
That’s so great to read! Warlock is my favorite class. It’s so cool to see what you did and how wildly different some one else could play it. It shows how with some time and a clear idea you can make the warlock something so new and exciting!
I love reading how people fall in with a class and just enjoy it!
Play the terminator. Use a goliath for a reaction damage reduction, take pact of the ever living one of you maximise ever heal on yourself, and wade into battle with cure wounds and healing light. You get hit but then you stand there in front of them as your wounds heal instantly and your ready to keep going.
That’s a really interesting build. I like that it’s scary looking for on lookers. You could be really intimidating. Especially since your familiar dosent need to be visible to others for you to gain its benefit
Depending on the chosen familiar they could hide inside a cloudkill or wall of fire.
How would they hide in wall of fire
@@TheSinisterheroes Imp is immune to fire and wall of fire is heavy obscurement if I remember correctly. The imp doesn't necessarily have to take the hide action, just being hard to see and or in a place where others would take a significant amount of damage can be enough.
That’s true. It is a tricky situation using the familiars. I really gotta just go through a game where I use the familiars better and really make them an extension of my character.
Played one of these before as an anti-organized religion prophet. This one lends well to using the talisman or tome
Interesting choice the talisman. I tend to see the talisman as more the adventuring pact choice. The rebuke is very cool in my mind.
Seeing a warlock with one always makes me think about them in a different manner.
I do have a friend that played one with an imp that always tempted him as a test from his patron. Which was a great angle
I treated the talisman as a pseudo holy symbol
I get that. I think it really fits. It’s a shame it dosent have an invocation to make it a plus 1 spell casting focus
I’m a 2 rogue/ the rest warlock. my patron is my great grandma who helps me as long as I’m a good boy.
That’s cool I like that.
Ashley Johnson?
This subclass does not look that bad (except of lack of access to Spiritual Weapon or Guardian Spirit spells) Sadly, Hexblade stole all thunder in Xanathar.
That’s part of the reason I hate and love hexblade. It’s so cool and so strong it’s seen constantly.
Oddly enough, I'm playing this subclass in a 5E Spelljammer game where the patron isnt a deity, but rather a lesser Solar of a deity.
In this case, the PC is a Custom Lineage (Half-Winged Tiefling, Half-Githyanki) character with the Golgari Agent background who came across a weird spellbook belonging to a lesser Solar of Wee Jas (from the world of Greyhawk).
Even though he's from the world of Ravnica, he feels little connection to the world and instead leaves it behind in order to return the book to its rightful owner. But in the process of doing so, becomes confronted by an impending evil of extinction level event proportions: the arrival of Nicol Bolas himself (from the MTG universe).
I like that concept. It grounds your character, makes them like a reluctant hero. Your really well set in your own world which is cool even though your character has a disassociation with it. Correct me if I am wrong but dosent the mtg universe sit like in-between worlds? Like it’s a plane of existence but it’s really more of a pocket world consisting of like just ravnica and some lands around it? I might be wrong though
@@TheSinisterheroes, Ravnica doesn't necessarily sit in its own pocket dimension per sé. Within the context of Spelljammer, worlds like Ravnica tend to be treated as their own planet in space, thereby allowing Spelljamming vessels to travel there whenever they want to.
Within the context of MTG worlds specifically, I've seen some DM's connect GGtR to MOoT and SCoC, via the alternate Planeswalking rule found in PS: AKH (Plane Shift: Amonkhet) Module, which allows players to travel dimensionally to other MTG supported worlds like Theros & Strixhaven.
Ok I had heard or read somewhere that ravnica was it’s own thing. Thanks for clearing that up for me
@@TheSinisterheroes, it is it's own thing, as it connects to other MTG worlds. Within the context of Spelljammer, they're treated like different planets.
Yeah that’s kinda how I heard it almost as if it’s a hub between worlds
Im debating on multiclassing this with Wildfire druid for a Phoenix themed character
Have you considered the phoenix sorcerer so your not sooo mad it’s from like maybe a pseudo official book I can’t remember it’s like from people who worked on dnd that made it
@TheSinisterheroes I would, but Mechanically, it doesn't work well
Everything is tied to a 1/long rest feature
Oh ok I gotcha. If your looking to be kinda build around short rests being a very big recharging point I can definitely see why you like the wild fire druid
Brand new to D&D, so sorry if this is a common question. I want to make a warlock whose patron is either Pelor, or who could be mistaken by the warlock as Pelor. Are Prime Deities allowed to be warlock patrons, or should I be looking at solars, planetars, or something else?
Anything with a sizable amount of power could work as a patron. If you’re very creative you could always forge your own patron out of just whatever inspires you. Anything can work. For celestial pacts anything within the realm of holy entities good aligned soldiers, usually celestials are lawful good. The main idea for me is why did your warlock reach out, and why would this entity answer.
I usually use Prime deities but again you don’t need to. I like it because usually there’s a lot of lore behind them so I can make a warlock that reflects some of those traits.
If you’re going with someone impersonating another deity definitely use a trickster type entity or deity.
What species/race were you thinking of?
@@TheSinisterheroes thanks! I was thinking Pact of the Tome because the character’s background is a studious acolyte of the Dawnfather until her temple is attacked. During the attack, she prays for the ability to defend the helpless people there and promises to live her life in service to whatever entity helps her now. Something answers the prayer (maybe Pelor, maybe not, but she thinks it is), and suddenly she has warlock cantrips to fight back with. But when the temple leaders don’t believe Pelor would empower a warlock, she’s exiled from the temple and joins an adventuring party.
@@TheSinisterheroes She’s a tiefling who was abandoned at the temple as an infant. Been raised by the temple members like Maria from Sound of Music.
That’s such a great idea for a character. I love it. You can really take an idea like the Tiefling, tie it to such an iconic movie, and yet still make it feel new. It’s a great set up where you can set a precedent for how she experienced how the world sees Tieflings. Being in a temple as that kind of being, how do people see them? With a sense of sadness or disappointment, or do they just forgive for the sake of the temple?
@@TheSinisterheroes I could see her either being sheltered from the racism/speciesism by living at the temple, or being aware of it but held up by other acolytes as an example of a good/redeemed tiefling. Once she leaves the temple though, she would face prejudice more directly and frequently. Thanks for your advice on this. I’ll work with my DM about who/what her patron should be!
This was great! I always liked this subclass.
Quick question- I’m trying to make a build similar to the xman cyclops. Is there any way to make a warlock survive melee while being a blaster?
Hmmm. That’s a little tricky.
Ok so maybe if you went variant human or custom lineage, and take mobile, or grab schooling grasp so you can escape melee right, then you could use repelling blast to keep pushing things away, you could use your spells for armor of Agatha’s to boost you hp, with out having armor proficiency beyond light your a little strapped for ac, but you can overcome that with high mobility and ways to keep your self ranged.
Your survivability has to be redefined from being able to soak up hits, and to being able to out last your enemy
@@TheSinisterheroes OK, gotcha. Maybe I will multiclass to paladin for the heavy armor proficiency and a melee weapon. Lol. Thank you so much for your time.
My pleasure, I am so happy to help
Just a thought, what if you were a bad person, but the deity only provides you power when you do good?
Then you sir have just created a wonderful character dynamic. The duality of choice and morality. Is there a desire for power? How would one follow this path? Did the character want to change? Or did the character learn that deep down that’s what they wanted along the way, and this is the right path. With out even considering species backgrounds or motivations your character is so interesting.

FOR THE ALGORITHM!!!!! Thank you!!!!
