Adding the ability mod to damage on Cantrips only comes after 5 Warlock levels. That's not a dip, anymore.off hand 1 level dip to pact of the blade for any cha caster (so bard, pally, sorcerer) and pact of the tome for wizards is almost comicly too good.
"Oh my wizard can grab two more cantrips and add my int mod to damage with all my cantrips for a 1 level dip"
Bards typically dump strength anyways and use Dex; Dex will still be needed."Oh my valor bard can dump str and use cha to attack with my new summonable cha attack sword?!?"
I don't think the sword is summonable. Rapier is still the go-to choice (though surely opening that up to other possibilities is a good thing). And a returning Spear or handaxe would be an awesomely fun thing to play with.
