[QUOTE="Esker, post: 7833239, member: 6966824"] I think the biggest issue with these invocations is that they use a spell slot, which you have so few of to start with, not that they are limited to 1 / long rest. As it is, the only one I'd remotely consider taking is Sculptor of Flesh, just because Polymorph is so good. I'd like to see these phrased something like, "You know the X spell. You can cast it once at its lowest level without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to cast the spell in this way when you finish a long rest." In other words, make them work like Magic Initiate when you pick from your own class list. That way you can use your slots on these spells if you want, but you also get an extra daily casting that doesn't compete with your regular warlock spells (the latter being like a lower-level Mystic Arcana). Too strong? I don't think so, but the way to tell would be whether you'd feel like these invocations become auto-picks with this rewording. I mean, seven uses of Polymorph per day at level 7 would be strong, but it would also mean you're not casting anything else; and you can still only use it on one character at a time.
