I want them at the same time, but not at level 1.Whatever happens,
I hope 50e makes every class gain subclasses features at level 1.

It is hard to be a Warlock without making a pact at level 1, including its pact features.I want them at the same time, but not at level 1.
I don't wager much, since clerics can do so depending on the subclass and evokers can do half-damage on a save. EB is still the best option with way since it applies per blast and most attack cantrips are only one attack. Your better off with two 1d10+Cha mod attacks vs one 2d10+Cha mod attack.How balanced would it be if agonising blast applied to all damage cantrips? Would it make anything other than eb spam an option?
If we are thinking AE redesigns the Warlock, then this can be addressed, IMO.It is hard to be a Warlock without making a pact at level 1, including its pact features.
Seems to me that these things take time. I went through 3 majors over 2 years in college before finding Architecture. I think becoming a cleric can be similar.How can one be a Cleric at level 1, without having decided which sacred tradition one adheres to?
I just prefer to spread out class, and thus subclass, features. To grow into the class. I am less interested in backstory and more interested in the character's current story.It is hard to have grown up in an Eldritch Knight military academy, unless having spellcasting at level 1.
And so on. For too many archetypes, it works best when it is also part of the backstory, and available at level 1.
Eldritch Blast is the best damage cantrip (most damage, least resistance). So it seems fine if the Warlock can beef up other damage cantrips as well.How balanced would it be if agonising blast applied to all damage cantrips? Would it make anything other than eb spam an option?
Just something which makes me even more convinced that 5.5e will be DnD: Babies Edition.
All things being equal, it's not much different than "the warlock hits you with his flaming scimitar three times" except it's done in melee and not at range.I think the point was that they wanted to distinguish the Warlock monster variants so they're not all just blasting Eldritch Blast every round but instead are interesting and distinct from each other. They wanted to make it easier for the DM to pick the most interesting option and not the default "the warlock blasts you again."
