[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 7339337, member: 1003"] I love it! Good selection of spells. In my current group, the House Rules give Warlocks their Expanded Spell list spells for free, just like Cleric Domain spells. I really think it's necessary, as Warlocks know so few spells they're basically forced to choose only the most basic, utilitarian spells. The way I see it, (1) Patron benefits are basically equal to Domain and Tradition features, so (2) Invocations + Spell Slots + Mystic Arcanum should be roughly balanced with the spell progression normally available to Wizards and Clerics, who I consider to be the baseline casters everyone else is measured against. By that measure, Warlocks are really hamstrung by the Spells Known limitation. I've run some spreadsheets and they're basically equal on spell slots as long as they get 2 SRs/day. But wizards just crush them on spells known, and of course clerics have access to their whole spell list for free. So giving Warlocks their Expanded Spell List spells as free spells known makes them equal to Bards and brings them closer to where Wizards and Clerics are in terms of utility and flexibility. I also have bonus Bloodline spells for each Sorcerer bloodline. Last bit: I also allow Warlocks to "borrow" any one spell from their class spell list from their Patron. The can do this once per long rest, at the end of any long or short rest. [/QUOTE]
