“It’s probably Matt Mercer’s fault.”
Why for warlocks and not clerics? Surely a priest's connection with their deity should be at least as unique and personal as a warlock's with their patron.
I suppose ideally it would. Although it's not the "unique personal connection" I'm looking at, but the nature of the being with whom the connection is made. Warlock Patrons are, as mentioned, Dragons, Fey, Abyssals, etc., while Clerics all worship "Deities", which aren't even really defined. Also there's a lot more history to Clerics, and they know a lot more spells so the custom lists would get a lot more unwieldy.
The Warlock spell list doesn't bother me in the way EB itself does. I just think it would help differentiate Warlocks as more unique from other spellcasters if there were pact-specific spell lists.
Do you not see any of this? Do you not find the Eldritch Blast thing to be a little wonky?
