An armor patron could be interesting but I think it'd be better as a fighter subclass.Shadow, as you've said. I personally would like something like 3.5's shadow conjuraton or shadow evocation, but those were rather janky spells in actual play. The third is a hex-focused patron, which actually needs the least work to fill. Hexblade's Curse, Armor of Hexes, and Master of Hexes can all just carry over, and Accursed Specter is broadly fine (although I dislike the trigger - I'd probably change it to "if a creature you have hexed or cursed dies, you can summon a specter...)So now we just need to replace Hex Warrior. My first thought is bonus castings of hex and possibly bane, along with text that makes bane count as hexed/cursed for other features. Just to ensure you can always have a hex and/or curse going.</blockquote>
