If I make a warlock villain, would giving them PC features be unbalancing, for example, pacts and invocations

AC 11 HP 115 Str 10 Dex 14 Con 12 Int 14 Wis 16 Cha 20 CR 12

Resistance to damage from spells

My party is currently 6th level and I was figuring that by level 10 they should be able to take her on as well as her 4 Acolyte minions, which are using just the standard stat block from the monster manual

    I think you've got a few questions in here that need to be parsed out and asked individually. Are you mostly wanting to know if you can create a NPC/Villain based off of a PC build? Or are you asking if your changes to the Archmage keep it at it's current CR? – NotArch May 29 '19 at 18:59

    Welcome to the stack! Some of us are voting to close this question as unclear right now because there appear to be multiple issues you're trying to address, and we generally prefer to keep individual questions focused on specific issues. If you want to split this question into A) "Am I allowed to use Player Character features when designing NPC creatures?", B) "Would adding [this list of features] to the Archmage upset their balance?", as individual questions, we might be able to give them the attention they deserve. – Xirema May 29 '19 at 19:03

  • Sorry about that, I edited it to the more basic question I had in mind – Asiryft May 29 '19 at 19:16
  • Excellent! But we will definitely need the full stat block of your build and what CR you want it to be. – NotArch May 29 '19 at 19:22
  • That's a good start, but I think it's missing information. I thought you said this was going to be based off of a warlock build? Are you doing the archmage conversion or are you building a standard PC Warlock? – NotArch May 29 '19 at 19:58
  • I was going to just build a standard pc warlock, but my friend told me to use the template instead, so I was converting the archmage from having wizard stats to haviong warlock stats, as well as fiddling around with the spell list. Then he told me I cant include the warlock features since its not an actual pc, and thats where Im getting stuck. – Asiryft May 29 '19 at 20:03
  • You can see this Q&A to cover using a PC build as NPC. – NotArch May 29 '19 at 20:10
  • Okay, thanks a lot, it looks like I will try my original idea and just make some minor tweaks – Asiryft May 29 '19 at 20:19
