Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
fuddle naming outline aside , the newer Unearthed Arcana Warlock subclass feels very much like a patch for the poorly received Undying subclass create back in 2015 . With underwhelming ability like “ Undying Nature ” and “ Indestructible Life , ” the Undying subclass added fiddling to theDungeons & DragonsWarlock .
The Undead subclass ( again , that ’s the new one ) , however , impart a few much more interesting elements . From being able-bodied to self - destruct likeElectrode fromPokèmon , to being able-bodied to spirit - project like some sort of wizard version of Dr. Strange , the Undead Warlock subclass has a lot more to provide than Undying ever did .

The “ Defy Death ” power was by far the strongest implementation introduced with the Undying Warlock , but the caution of it only being available once per day leave behind the feature a bit too weak . fundamentally , “ Defy Death ” allowed the Warlock to mend 1d8 + their organisation modifierafter save someone with Spare the Dying , or after deliver the goods on a death delivery throw . This could be quite impregnable if someone was playing a more armored combat vehicle - oriented Warlock , provided it came back on a brusk eternal rest or had multiple uses per Clarence Day . The raw Undead subclass swop the “ Defy Death ” sixth - horizontal surface power with “ Grave Touched . ” “ Grave Touched ” go the precise opposite road , allow a player to switch their damage type with necrotic damage , and twine an extra scathe die while while using “ physical body of Dread ” ( a bonus action at law variant that gives the Warlock impermanent HP , and make them shivery ) . It also break the Warlock from needing to eat , drink , or breathe , just like originally let in in “ Undying Nature . ”
D&D: Undying Or Undead Warlocks At Higher Levels
“ Undying Nature ” unlocks at tenth horizontal surface for the Undying Warlock , and along with slowing the Warlock ’s get on procedure , it also ca-ca them immune to magical - aging gist . From a roleplaying viewpoint , something like that could be interesting down the line , but it does n’t add much from a hardheaded one . The Undead subclass ( the fresh one ) , swap this for “ Mortal Husk . ” “ Mortal Husk ” allow for a Warlock to explode when come to zero strike point , stimulate each wight within thirty feet to take 2d10 + their Warlock horizontal surface in damage . The Undead Warlock then revive with one strike point , one level of enfeeblement , and ca n’t blow up again until finishing 1d4 long rests . This is aninteresting addition by UA , and has a lot of potential in scrap and roleplay to create some ridiculous situations .
Lastly , at fourteenth level , Dungeons & Dragons’Undying Warlock gets “ Indestructible Life . ” Essentially just a underage healing power , “ Indestructible lifetime ” take into account a Warlock to heal 1d8 + their Warlock level as a bonus action . It also lets them reattach sever body parts , which seems way too specific to often be useful . At least it comes back after a myopic rest , but it ’s underwhelming in comparability to “ Spiritual Projection . ”
For up to one hour ( or until absorption is broken ) , the Undead Warlock can project their look . When it ends , the Warlock can choose to either teleport to their spirit ’s positioning or have the project tax return to them . The purport and trunk also get immunity to bludgeoning , thrust , and gash damage . Casting spellsin the necrotic or conjuring school can be done without component part ( V , S , or M [ so long as they do n’t have a gold cost ] ) , they can fell at the same speed they take the air , move through creatures and aim like hard terrain , and(while using “ Form of Dread ” ) can regain run into points equal to half the necrotic damage allot once per turn .
To say this is an improvement on “ Indestructible Life ” is an understatement . The Warlock class needed some more original ability , and both of these subclasses provide them . Overall , though , the unexampled Undead subclass beats the the Undying by quite a with child margin . It ’ll be interesting to see what UA tally toDungeons & Dragonsnext .
