I'm planning on doing a halfling bard 9/ feylock 3
I'm undecided, if full caster mode with Lore and Tome or going melee with Swords/Blade.
But I'll get Devils Sight for my little girl.
Devil's Sight would pair nicely with the Illithid power related to darkness. Not sure if that will still be Rogue only in final release.
I won't use the Illithid power at all. Maybe in another playthrough ( I joked in another thread, that I might play Astarion for that since he likes his little guest so much and I don't like him, so wouldn't care, if he dies in the ebd, because of putting so much tadpoles into his head).
Fair enough, I wouldn't make a character who'd signed a pact with some demigod patron, but that's just me. Tapping Illithid powers seems very similar. Power now, price later.
I actually took my backstory from my pen & paper feylock and there the patron is benevolant. I mean, yes, it could turn out, that AUntie Ethel is my patron, but I think, it will stay more vague.
