Which means that an entire playstyle has been eliminated from the game. Either the game is poorer for it or playing that way is BadWrongFun.Second, you might have played your warlocks as Ghost Rider. I played mine as illusionists, pinch hitters, and lightweight healers. At second level, pact of the tome, I've had a warlock able to cast Silent Image at will, Disguise Self at will, and back that up by Sfx from Minor Illusion, Prestidigitatation, and Thaumaturgy. Oh, and they were a Vuman with the Actor feat. I can guarantee that that trickster with a swirling mass of illusions around them who used their spell slots when they wanted to make something that was actually real wasn't the Cowboy. (Eldritch Blast didn't come through until level 5)I don't know how many times I am going to have to repeat this. But I am less annoyed by the nerf than I am by stinking up the class by adding the previously unnecessary bookkeeping of managing low level spells and slots from multiple levels at once. One of the mechanical appeals of the warlock was not having to bother with that crap.</blockquote>
