[QUOTE="Shardstone, post: 9022410, member: 6807784"] I just don't like it man. I think a better solution is to make better invocations for higher levels to compete with spell slots. I like Mystic Arcanum being an Invocation. I like that, in theory, I can choose to have high magic or I can choose to have really cool passive magic effects. What I don't like is that there aren't enough high level passive magic effects in the invocation list. I should have True Sight 24/7 as a higher level option. Or one use of legendary resistance per rest, granted by my patron. Or an invocation where I summon my patron to help me in battle or break a spell once per 7 days, like the old Divine Intervention. These kinds of ideas are thematic to the warlock and would make me really question whether a high level spell or one of these crazy unique magic effects better fits my character. Imagine having a Pact of the Blade high level Invocation where your pactblade can "steal" properties from other magic items, or your pact of the chain familiar can be elevated into an actual dragon or angel for an hour, no concentration, all the benefits and more. Warlock could, in theory, fulfil the "weird caster," "arcane gish," and "pet class" niches all through better high level invocations IMO. It's right there. They just need to find the inspiration to do it. But I will, even if they don't. This new Warlock, every day, becomes my favorite class design, period. I think it's really smart and really flexible and just a little bit more work and it'll be a masterpiece to me. [/QUOTE]
