[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 7708867, member: 1465"] I like all 3 concepts, very cool. [B]Hexblade[/B] as having an intelligent weapon as patron is very intriguing. I don't think this invalidates bladelocks of other patrons at all, and neither a hexblade tomelock or chainlock. However I would remove all references to the shadowfell. Does the weapon really need to come from there? I think not at all. Not everyone uses the shadowfell. And why not leaving the door open for a heavenly weapon or a relic of the past in the material plane? The Raven Queen patron is my favourite archetype of the three. The only drawback is that it's a lot more specific than any other patron option. Loremaster wizard basically covers the generalist archetype so it's very welcome. But it really shouldn't step on Sorcerer's sole unique feature ie metamagic. It doesn't matter that it fits the concept. This kind of stepping on another class's stick is just bad for the whole game. In addition I would also lower the complexity of this subclass a bit more so that it can serve as the low-complexity entry point to 5e for a player who still wants to play a spellcaster. New invocations are a nice addition, but the restrictions simply mean they won't be used much often, at which point it doesn't matter anymore if such restrictions made sense conceptually. [/QUOTE]
