Yes, that is certainly true. I…strongly dislike that. In fact, the level up warlock is one of the things I dislike the most in level up. Even more than I dislike the weird “herald” stuff they did with the Paladin, and the fact they kept spells as this unique siloed thing that can’t mix with techniques or manuvers or whatever, when they could have run them all on “exertion” and allowed any gish to just smoothly mix them, and to have abilities that blur the line between them.Level Up uses spell points for warlocks, and doesn't require warlocks to always cast at the highest level. This means that, technically speaking, LU warlocks could cast a lot more low-level spells than their 5e counterparts.
To me, making martial moves into “powers” like that is almost pointless if they are siloed off from the other “powers” in the system.
But anyway yeah, I really dislike the warlock in LU. I have never liked spell points in TTRPGs, and like them least in any game where a level 6 spell doesn’t just cost 6 spell points. I mean, 133 spell points at level 20!? Who on Earth wants to track 133 spell points!?
lol sorry /rant
