I was wondering how it would work if players fought a devil in Avernus or something and managed to scare him enough for him to sign a contract that is in one of the PC's advantage, how would it work? Would that pc who is benefiting from it take a level or some levels in warlock if the contract offers power or will he just take extra effects and benefits like boosts or something? And if it's a contract to utilize a weapon for example would he get to be a hexblade warlock? Then he wild need 3 levels for the subclass which is weird since the contract is signed instantly, please explain to me how it would work I'm really curiouse and thanks!

I mean is it possible to play an arcane Archer build that mainly focuses on bursting arrow, like piercing arrow for close air but what about a ranged aoe build of bursting arrow? Is it possible

What is a build that uses charisma like sorcerer warlock paladin or swashbuckler or smt, that has high charisma and can use mind control spells like crown of madness and hold person and command and those kind of spells but mainly uses rapier for damage? I'm thinking 3 levels of sorcerer for subtle spell for more controll before entering fights and the rest in hexblade for swordfighting, or maybe instead of hex use swashbuckler or battlemaster and have good charisma, or maybe an enchantment wizzard with fighter.. idk something that has dexterity and charisma, can use controll spells and fights using rapier, what I wanna do with it is controll the field and the enemies as much as possible but be able to fight using rapier when a fight is inevitable or I need not waste my spell slots or sorcery points and/or be able to talk my way to my goal in other occations, I hope I explained the idea correctly please help! And thanks in advance :) (other than bard tho I played enough of it haha)

-just in case this kind of build wasn't very viable, I won't mind an enchantment wizzard build, like I said earlier controll the field and stuff, but instead of when it comes to fights I have magic instead of melee, or maybe a sorcerer focusing on controll or something like that, but the rapier version is very much preferable to me pls :D-

I'm looking for something like someone who pulls the strings or like acts as a mastermind yk, like idk if there are traps in the game or not but generally someone assassin like who instead of fighting head on I just controll enemies, for a better idea of what I have in mind, maybe an illusionist assassin like or swashbuckler as a rapier user kind of thing who shows a good heroic image but is aiming for what benefits him the most in terms of power and general gain while also being viable in combat in case I end up in an inescapable combat or I fail in a plan, I hope this gives an idea of what I'm looking for, I'm thinking charlatan background and idk what else tbh give me your idea please! And thanks in advance.

Hi! I wanted to play fire sorcerer and when I looked for builds I found that sorlock 11/1 is the better build but I dislike the idea that I'm getting power from another entity and the power is not naturally mins, like warlocks and clerics, so is there a way to explain having hexblade warlock dip in this build? I saw a guy say it could be a master duelist being a mentor and trapped in a sword that I use but I fail to see how that would give me access to magical abilities, Im thinking of something like I defeated a demon on my own which earned me his weapon and consumed it to upgrade my abilities further, but idk if that works lore wise, or maybe I should just go 12 sorcerer? How much of a difference in damage and viability will that make? Pls help and thank you!
