[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8564053, member: 6987520"] We (sort of) did something similar just recently, so I am pleased to see we aren't alone. First, we rolled Sorcerer in Wizard, so Wizards get metamagic and the Sorcerer class is gone. (There are many nerfs to wizards in our mod, so this became there "thing" like Clerics get Channel Divinity and Druids get Wild Shape.) Second, Bards became Universal half-casters. They only get up to 5th level spells, but there is no longer a Bard spell list--they can learn from any spell list. Third, Warlocks became half-casters for Wizards, akin to Paladins for Clerics and Rangers for Druids. This means they gain Extra Attack at 5th level now. We felt with all their Eldritch Invocations, they fit nicely as a half-caster class. In this process, they now use INT for their spellcasting ability, to mirror Wizards. Fourth, Clerics now use Charisma as their spellcasting ability, due to the concept of Conviction which is part of Charisma. This allows Clerics and Paladins to both use Charisma. Druids and Rangers both use Wisdom. This gives us a pair of caster/half-caster for each INT, WIS, and CHA; and allows Bards to be the universal half-caster. Now, do you still have a non-Hexblade Warlock class? Or are you really just giving all warlocks the Hexblade subclass and allowing them to choose a second subclass on top of that?? [/QUOTE]
