I feel the magus might help in terms of using a magic weapon or raise a tome as a shield. could just roleplay the patron element. still to bad they did not take the oportunity to expand the witch options to have something like a tomb or weapon. maybe give them the effect like teleporting to your hand but they have to have them when casting.
I know the bladelock was extremely popular with the Reddit D&D community, but to be honest it's never super interested me. I like it existing as an option, but the magus is far too focused on that niche to work as a warlock. And using the tomb as a shield strikes me as just silly.
The tomb as shield becomes a little less silly when you factor in magic. It being a power object from a patron to me feels a bit more right with the scenario. Using any old tome does seem goofy but if its magical then makes sense.
It does if you're trying to look at it as something that is literally possible in that world. But it doesn't look less silly from a conceptual standpoint. Because wandering into combat with the intention of holding a book up as a shield is still silly even if that book is magic.
I guess I usually think of it as not like a shield but just having the same effect. so my rp is more of a force shield like a free shield spell that comes from the book. It hard to describe really but I see it in my head.
