[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7105899, member: 6689161"] Well, I look forward to some small fixes. We shall see. Perhaps the most discouraging thing in all of this for me is that at the expense of a feat, you do not suffer disadvantage with EB. Crossbow expert, by my reading, suggests it works with spell attack rolls. Sage advice does as well. Slightly less damage for the cost of less MAD will make the optimizer salivate and I get that. Without this, it is clear to me that the Blade pact fills an clear niche. With this? Someone could armor up and run around point blanking people. In fact, I may need to see how that rolls. It sounds fun. Whatever I play I do not want to stand back and plunk. It is simply not the flavor I want (chocolate vs. vanilla). I want to play a rampaging warlock with either a sword or touch attacks. And yes, I will wear armor and likely cast armor of agathys. I cannot help but wonder at greatsword and blade pact though. I believe they do more damage until there is a fourth Eldritch blast and still it is close. For me it comes down to roleplay choices more than anything. Either one can play well in a party. I will be happy when and if hexblade comes online. I would not mind playing a pre armored Elric Half-Elf of questionable moral fiber... One thing I love about warlocks...there is a lot of space for many different characters in one class. [/QUOTE]
