[QUOTE="ad_hoc, post: 7302664, member: 6748898"] How do regular Warlocks, or Wizards, or Sorcerers defend themselves? Why do clerics wade into the thick of things? It's because they can. Just because a class could be given everything doesn't mean it should. That's how it ends up being overpowered. Even with Curse damage being restricted to weapon attacks it is still better than any other patron (and they still get a heal from Curse so it is still somewhat useful). Also, if you take Pact of the Blade you can use 2-handed weapons. Warlocks shouldn't have a base AC of 19. (Bladesinger shouldn't have Light Armour either while we're at it. The +3-5 AC is enough, make them spend the Mage Armour/Shield if they want it) If we just make all classes have 18-20 AC where is the variety? We lose the vulnerable spellcaster archetype. If your argument is that clerics have good armour so Warlocks should too, then how is that different than saying all classes should have good armour? [/QUOTE]
