I'm going to ask one of my players if they would like to try playtesting it.I think the framework is good and it just needs power adjustment. The pact abilities are well explained and each one gets a free virtual invocation at 5th level. Really it's not that different from the 2014 warlock. With more spell slots they don't need the short rest recharge, but the highest level spell slots are very much delayed compared to the old warlock.My suggestions will be (pending playtesting):<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2/3 casting progression instead of 1/2 so that the highest power spell slot and corresponding patron spells are not too far delayed (getting your 3rd level spells at 9th character level is a huge downgrade)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In compensation for the above, Mystic Arcanum could require the expenditure of spell slots with a total level equal to the spell level, in addition to the once/long rest restriction.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pact abilities as class abilities, not cantrips (I don't see any value to defining them as cantrips, does someone else? And it doesn't make sense to send the PC to the spells chapter for this information.)</li> </ul></blockquote>
