I don't know what your deal is with its use, but it seems to bother you tremendously, so imagine I used whatever other words wouldn't have tilted you so much and move on.I think that using a few powerful spells on an encounter by encounter basis instead of many spells on a daily basis is a key part of the warlock's mechanical identity. I am open to tweaking the details of how that function is expressed. What I am not open to is completely changing the warlock's resource management, as changing to the type of spellcasting you don't like calling Vancian would do.It's absolutely encounter based. You get about two spell slots between short rests and about two encounters between short rests. The encounter is therefore the basic unit of game activity around which a warlock player needs to manage their spell slots. That is the thing I consider to be core to their mechanical identity and desire to preserve above all. If they get a few more spell slots between short rests, fine. If they get some other way to cast a few spells in addition to that, fine. If their spell slots change to the daily resource management model that every other class uses, not fine. This is not compliated.</blockquote>
