[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 7708759, member: 6801226"] I thought about them a little more. The bladelock has always suffered from what I think of as hybrid oversell (people thinking they were getting 50/50 melee/magic, but really getting 25/75), so the hexblade seems like a good way to move that closer to 50/50. The hex related features make it useful for tomelocks and chainlocks as well, although the warlock wasn't suffering for a lack of ability to curse anyone before. It does annoy me that we didn't get a good version of this for the paladin though (oath of stewardship) The Raven Queen: I am glad she is still around and running things in the Fell (nice to get a little more lore on the Shadowfell and the Feywild from the invocations). I can see a patron being slightly for a pact type, but this one is really against the chainlock. Outside of someone trying to channel Mark Singer's Beastmaster (multiclass BM or BC ranger with RQ chainlock for 3 pets running around), I have a hard time seeing why you would want to chainlock with the RQ as a patron. The invocations are flavorful. I notice that all of the fiend ones were named after devils, but most of the fiend and GOO pact ones can be reflavored easily. The lore master wizard is in need of a serious beating with the nerf stick, and probably 2 beatings just to make sure. I have slowly become okay with taking part of Class A and putting into a subclass for Class B, but this is borderline putting the whole of the sorcerer into a wizard subclass. [/QUOTE]
