Its a multiclass dream, but a pretty meh patron for all-in warlocks. They can almost be considered fix-patch, like the new ranger's archetypes.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Zealot is a better berserker than the berserker.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The inquisitive, mastermind, duelist, samurai, cavalier, spirit barbarian, warmage, forge and death cleric etc are pretty balanced and dont overshadow the PHB's archetype.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Storm barbarian and arcane archer are not that great.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Some spells were a little, Healing Spirit was even modified. Most of the elemental evil spells are pretty bad.</li> </ul>So, all in all, I dont think this would count as powercreep. Most of the stuff from the guide plays nicely with the stuff from the PHB.</blockquote>
