Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ashrym" data-source="post: 6875044" data-attributes="member: 6750235">Warlock has a bigger toolbox than sorcerers.  Between spells known, arcanum, and invocations they rival bards.  The difference is warlocks tend to be heavier damage at will compared to a bard and the spells are paced out by short rests while the bards can splurge or conserve slots.  Quite honestly, I could do a lot with silent image, arcane eye, levitate, alter self, and speak with dead (I had fun with that one) at will plus a lot of spells known even with only 3 or 4 slots available between plus cantrips plus rituals.  Agonizing blast and book of ancient secrets were important, but once a person has those and two or three more invocations for a couple good at-will SLA's the spell slots from pact magic didn't bother me at all.I didn't find the tome warlock to struggle at all for options.  There's a difference between having limited slots and having limited choices with those slots.  If a warlock wants to cast it, it's because it's the right tool for the job at the time and that warlock can cast it.  The slots will still renew on a short rest and the warlock still has other options.  There's no benefit the warlock would have gained in having cast the spell in a lower level slot so there's no loss.  The only difference is the other spell caster can spend more slots because the other spell caster has lower level slots to spend, and that doesn't change regardless of the level of the spell being cast.That's a bit of a red herring point.  The fact some spells don't scale doesn't actually hurt the warlock.</blockquote>
