Heretic of The Seventh Circle
I did suggest that in a past thread. At the time I was considering a warlock with no spell slots, who had one use of hex, a bunch of at-will stuff, invocation granted spells, etc, but no actual spellcasting as in the phb, and they'd get back uses of spells by meeting conditions.Recharge when your hex target dies?
One way to go with that would be to make Hex at-will, and killing hex targets is the main way you get back uses of limited use abilities, with some having special conditions of their own, your patron spells have patron-appropriate conditions, etc. Basically a class where you reset with a long rest, more than recharge as such.
So is a warlock. Including in this UA.A wizard is an arcane spellcaster whose primary mechanical niche is spell casting.
So is a sorcerer.
WHy would you make the warlock into something it's never been? Even my ideas above would very much be a variant class not meant to replace the real warlock, probably with a different name.It not pedantry. You have 2 classes that do what you want. Let the warlock be something else.
The only previous version of the warlock exists in a PHB with no arcane spell list, but is considered an arcane class by pretty much everyone.Especially since they never cast arcane spells to begin with. They had their own list (admittedly a very similar one).
This is all pedantry.
