    It's actually amazing how well fits with Lamb. The weapon proficiencies, the spells you get, and the flavor of being a pact-bound little killing machine with weapons almost as big as they are. Even the 6th level feature is perfectly on-brand.

      Literally just opened the video and saw this comment, and I think I'll take a blind guess to assume Hexblade?.. Though part of me can't help but think that feels... way too obvious so it seems like it has to be something else.

    For a background that gives you some more followers consider the Knight Background. Knight gives you the Retainer background feature, you get 3 commoners who handle mundane tasks for you, as long as you maintain their respect and not sacrifice them to an evil deity. They will not, however, enter conflict for you.

    Honestly so many warlock characters needing to take hexblade because most great powers give their followers a powerful item should be worked into the base warlock. Maybe have it be so you can either take eldritch blast or CHA on weapon attacks? The have invocations that let you get the other if you want both, with both being intrinsically given to hexblde.

Then it kind of just popped into my head. Inquisitive rogue / knowledge cleric seems like the right path... Except if you've seen the series you know House's dump stat is certainly dex. It seems like a fun challenge that I would love to see you tackle.

    Also.. Though it seems others are trying not to spoil it, I'll give some argument for your choice of patron. Though it'll require some (minor) CotL spoilers.
    In the Lore, The One Who Waits is Death. Like... The CotL World's Grim Reaper / God of Death. However, the Lamb's Power doesn't actually stem from TOWW himself. The Magical Weapons and the Curses come from the Red Crown, a magical artifact which is given to the lamb by their patron deity, and... The Red Crown's power is in fact separate from that of the one who waits, as we see in one of the endings which I will not spoil. So, the Red Crown as a Hexblade works perfectly.

    hoping for chai from hi fi rush in the future. I'm thinking human swords bard/hexblade (he made a deal with vandelay for his dreams to come true and it gave him unfathomable powers and also made performance part of melee combat.) shocking grasp pulls the enemy toward you, not you toward them, but meh, there's your magnet arm to close combat distance. thunderwave for a hibiki, other thunder based spells should absolutely be taken, and anything to whip things around with magnets is perfect. all of your enemies are part of the music video that is your life so hit 'em with otto's irresistable dance from time to time.
    warhammer is versatile melee bludgeoning, that's your guitar. you can even use it as a bard spellcasting focus with swords bard. if you run out of things you need hexblade and swords bard for, dip into battle master fighter for some maneuvers to switch up those combos and have a bigger hit die showing up.

    Hey guys, just to warn you there is a slight mistake in this build. He starts off with 15 Chr and 14 Dex with a +2 Chr and +1 Dex from race. With the ASIs provided we would have a character with 21 Chr and 19 Dex. The simplest way to fix this build is to easy swap the base scores or swap the boosts from the race bonus. You can start off with what is written in the video, but that will cause you to have 1 less AC and only a +2 to Dex checks and 1 less for Dex save until lvl 8 which is completely unnecessary it you start out with 16 Chr and Dex.

    As last of it's kind in a world filled with false prophets, a lamb is chosen by "The One Who Waits" to fulfill his commands: wearing the Red crown he will make a cult in it's name and lay waste to the four bishops of the old faith to set free this ambitious god, but maybe there is another one worthy to take the seat of lord of this world...

    Also gonna be the one to make the obvious angry comment that Monk is a bad move Technically yes it is a way to get a Claw equivalent, but I'd honestly chalk the claw weapons up to some kinda homebrew gauntlet weapon (Which question: WHY ARE THERE NO GAUNTLET OR CESTUS WEAPONS IN 5E). Or, mostly making that nots so obviously because the just generally better option would be to grab your last 4 levels of warlock and get life drinker + better spells.

      actually there ia work around , sort of , that being getting Eldritch Claw Tattoo.
      Magical Strikes. While the tattoo is on your skin, your unarmed strikes are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks, and you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with unarmed strikes.
      Eldritch Maul. As a bonus action, you can empower the tattoo for 1 minute. For the duration, each of your melee attacks with a weapon or an unarmed strike can reach a target up to 15 feet away from you, as inky tendrils launch toward the target. In addition, your melee attacks deal an extra 1d6 force damage on a hit. Once used, this bonus action can't be used again until the next dawn.

      Also an addition, in terms of D8 hit die Dex based Martial classes, I'd personally suggest Rogue over Monk for the Lamb.
      Though you lose the Long Death's Temporary Hit Points, you gain in exchange...
      - An extra skill (I think?)
      - Expertise in 2 of your many social skills. Decide whether you want to rule through Love, Fear, or even Both by going from a Great score to the Best score in the game on either of those skills.
      - Cunning Action, which is basically both Step of the Wind and Patient Defense put together into a single class feature.
      And then you can choose whether to just stay at the 2 levels, or jump up to 4 and grab Phantom Rogue to grab literally any 1 skill or tool proficiency per day (Helpful in doing all the menial labor you for some reason get into) and a like.. d6 of extra free damage to a second target per turn which acts a LOT like necromantic weapons even moreso than how the others work.

      It's not a weapon at all, really; it's the manifestation of a spell. I don't think it's actually capable of many of the pact weapon features, and would you really want your pact weapon to be unavailable until you cast one of your extremely limited spell slots?
