I have been looking through as many books as possible trying to find a feat that will allow me to use my invocations without verbal components.  Needless to say my character has a flaw where he cannot speak without sickening himself and I have been trying to find a means of bypassing this.  Silent Spell is right out seeing as how invocations do not use spell slots. Anyone know anything that could help?  Or should I just talk to my DM about a home-brew feat for this character?

While a warlock's abilities are unusual in that they have simple somatic requirements, there is nothing that adds verbal components. Also, this is why there is no existing Silent Spell-Like Ability feat; it'd be useless.
