That's how progress is made.Fixing repelling blast is a different undertaking than fixing the warlock class. As a class I'm unconvinced they even need fixing. People occasionally say that warlocks feel like one-tricks, which is true, but where I personally feel most disappointed is with all the many invocations that languish due to the better effectiveness of a subset of them: Agonizing Blast, Devil's Sight, Repelling Blast, Fiendish Vigor were in constant play at out table.Were I revising warlock, I would look for better balance between invocations, so that I could see warlocks at my table feeling more of a genuine decision between them. But that is also very campaign dependent: Beguiling Influence and Mask of Many Faces might be very good in a political or heavily social campaign. I can attest that for a combat-focused campaign, the mechanically strong choices are narrow.I would commend switching repelling blast to "once on each of your turns". This does, in play in a wide range of encounters at all tiers, work very neatly. And I think it makes some other picks more viable.I've lived ten years in one, and frequently visited the other of those cities and the sight lines on major roads like the Champs-Elysees are hundreds of feet long. You can get elevation over pedestrians on statuary, and various walls and arches. It might be better to refer to Venice or Carcasonne as examples of what you mean.In those smaller medieval towns, that have not been altered so much by war and technology, you can see the sort of walled in and narrow lanes where spear would not be so useful. Even there I suppose you have the Grand Canal and the Piazza San Marco. There might be some streets where the overhang would block sight lines for a flying warlock... better to fight indoors if one lacks the range advantage.</blockquote>
