[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 8083684, member: 72555"] My current Warlock patch is pretty simple. Along side buffs for the other pact tools: [b]Pact of the Blade[/b]: [...] In addition, while wielding your pact weapon, you can channel spells through your weapon. When would make a ranged spell attack you can instead make a melee spell attack using your pact weapon's reach. If you do so, you add 1/2 of your strength modifier (round up) to the damage if you hit; if your pact weapon is a finesse weapon, you can instead add 1/2 of your dexterity modifier (round up). At level 5 your half elven blade pact warlock with agonizing blast using a pact short sword can have 16 dex 18 cha and make a melee range agonizing blast for 1d10+6 x2 at +7 to hit. This scales with extra blasts. Adding a secondary stat/2 (round up) bonus gives you a slight edge over doing this at range. The fact it is a melee spell attack blocks certain kinds of existing synergy, like GWM/Sneak Attack/Smite. And I'm ok with that; hexblade dips are already good enough. [/QUOTE]
