So with the hexblade available for some time, the endless discussions about the blade 'lock has gone quiet. So I'm a little sorry to bring it back up.
I don't really have a problem with the hexbalde, but I prefer the fluff of pact of the blade somewhat. I find it falls a little short in dps and survivability and offers very little compared to Pact of the Chain or Tome.
So I wanted to add a little something to the pact, centered around the blade part of the pact.
War Fiend/Fey/whatever
Essentially give the blade lock the Warpriest Feature keyed off CHA. This gives the warlock a slight dps boost.
Pact guard
As a reaction you can use your pact weapon to guard against an enemy's melee attacks. Until the start of your next turn you may ad your CHA modifier to your AC. Once you use this feature you may not use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
