[QUOTE="yakuba, post: 6619798, member: 6698582"] Just my opinion based on playing Dex based blade warlocks. Overall it seems that you've really focused your suggestions around the idea of helping the Strength based blade warlock concept. (1-3, 6) all benefit Strength based blade warlocks much more than Dex based blade warlocks. 1) This is nice plus for strength based bladelocks, but doesn't really make a big difference for Dex based bladelocks. I'd still add at least the Medium armor proficiency. I'm not as sure about the Shield proficiency 2) I wouldn't do this. All three Pacts have an associated Invocation, although Book warlocks can take theirs at lvl 3 and the Chain invocation isn't very exciting. This really isn't an extra burden for bladelock 3) I don't really see this. This seems specifically designed for the Strength based bladelock. 4 & 5) Not surprisingly, I don't like this at all. One of really nice things about the blade lock for me is the versatility of being competent in both ranged and melee combat depending on the situation. 6) I REALLY don't like this. I strongly prefer that weapon attacks for all classes depend on the stats, and avoid making weapon attacks dependent on whatever the classes primary stat seems to be. This is just a top level verisimilitude thing for me personally. [/QUOTE]
