Loremaster’s notes

The Archfey Warlock is the "I am a fae courtier" chassis. Fey Presence (level 1) lets you, 1/short rest, target a creature within 10 feet and have it make a WIS save or be charmed/frightened for 1 turn. Misty Escape (level 6) is the signature: 1/short rest, you can turn invisible and teleport up to 60 feet as a reaction when you take damage. Free escape from any single-target melee fight. Beguiling Defenses (level 10) lets you, on a charm or frighten you, use your reaction to cause the effect to hit the original caster. This is very rare to matter in play, but it's there. The chassis is identical to any other Warlock: Eldritch Blast + Agonizing Blast. Pick this for RP ("I am a pact with a Summer Court prince") not for math. Race: Tiefling (Dispater or Glasya) for CHA, or High Elf (high elf is fine for the cantrip but no CHA bonus).
