AnonymousSo recently they finally got a level 1 feature but no unique 3rd level spells because the ones they get in 5e aren't in the game. This subclass really can't cacth a break

Bruh- literally useless other than learning a decent spell
Honestly, being able to use Entropic Ward as a free action so you have a 1/short rest powerful feature would be far cooler. It slightly increases defense, but it makes a contrast, you can either have a single-use feature or a consistent feature for the two subclasses.
This is entirely useless other than Dissonant Whispers

if they aren't going to give telepathy to great old one, they should consider replacing it with something else

Soo... The Great Old one adds 2 lvl 1 spells to the Warlock and... that's it? I take it more is coming or...?

It says that at Level 1, the Great Old One Features includes "Dark One's Blessings", though I believe this is a Fiend-Subclass ability
This is one of my favorite subclasses in dbd but wish they went with archfey first instead of this. They could have implemented it way easier.
