[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9008059, member: 7025282"] I really read carefully this time. Wow. Warlock is almost all that I play anymore. It allows me to play a magic warrior and suited my need for options. That said, playing non hexblade blade lock takes real understanding and skill. Now? It’s all right there for you. Medium armor (no shield?) for free. No need for dwarf, no need to wait for a feat. No need to always start variant human. I think it will be easier to take a half orc (or it’s equivalent) without playing 1-4 with a poor AC. I hate the pressure to have high dex due to poor armor. The invocation shortage is gone too. Thirsting blade is automatic. I can now take something more flavorful to make this blade lock different. I really like magic seekers. Maybe it will be eldritch sight. Saving my spells for eldritch smite meant not casting much. With more spell slots I can do some utility spells. I like the idea of creepy stuff for flair. I like being able to choose a spellcasting ability! I don’t want all of them to be charmers and leaders. A high wisdom warlock is…interesting. Largely seeing this open options/flavor… Now the downside…at least for blade locks… Is this going to be too cookie cutter in other ways? There aren’t many hard decisions. I always avoided the hexblade for reasons… No shield with medium armor (or does ONE include it)? No heavy pact weapons? Say it isn’t so! I love my dwarf with a fiendish greataxe!!! Will there be an eldritch smite invocation? Please tell me I missed it somewhere! This feature has led to so much fun for me! Pivotal 20s make people groan and cheer! I would be really sad if this was not an option!!! [/QUOTE]
