OT1H, Celestial patron as an option for what has become my favorite class might actually get me to play a healer.
OTOH, really disappointed that Hexblade didn't make the PHB. :(
REALLY like that 3rd point. I might have my first 5.5e character concept there, thank you.
Just to add, I think some deities might actually prefer warlocks. Consider a trickster god such as Coyote. Formal cleric & church? Paladin order? Naaah. Let's drop an 'interesting scroll' where this naive...
Also I must say - the idea that this is 'not 5.5e' is dying fast the more I see. I mean, when they've even said that 2024 rules characters shouldn't be played w/ 2014 combat rules? Ummm...? o_0

Always have the Divine Smite spell prepared.
Can be used with Unarmed Strikes.
Now requires a Bonus Action, which you can take immediately after hitting a creature with an attack.

I like the main one a lot, but am really loving this one. It gives me a very Tolkein vibe, & I'm planning on trying to get this copy when they come out. I hope they're released at the same time as the regular covers so I don't have to wait.

I'm looking for an urban fantasy game, and open to any system. I've played Heroes, and dabbled in Fate & CoC. Open to horror or steampunk as well, & 'nearish' future (Shadowrun looks interesting). Not really looking for a pure fantasy game currently, thanks (already in a regular 5e group).

With magic gone from the world, the wards that kept it closed off from the other planes have faded. Now the barriers are growing weak, and the paths have begun to open. New creatures - some wondrous, some terrible - are being seen.
Perhaps the adventurers meet a mysterious figure who offers to...
A classroom at the local police academy. Our DM was on the force & at that time teaching there. He got permission for us to use the facility on the weekend when it was closed. Who needs a battle mat when you can just draw it all out on the blackboard? :)
Bonus: If the zombie apocalypse hit...
Sounds like a good story (& I'm not at all biased since I'm playing much the same on my warlock, heh).
Personally I'd go Sorclock over Wizlock, just for the easier CHA synergy.
Also, don't underestimate the utility of Mask of Many Faces & a good Deception check when it comes to battlefield...
