I think valor bard is your best example for this. A full casting melee character, gets 1 extra attack at 6th, and medium armor + Shields. I would be fine if those came with the Blade Pact. I agree that AB looks like a requirement, and just about any time you see a "how to build effective warlock" thread someone responds with "Take EB, take AB". That said, I have specifically not taken Eldritch blast on either of my warlocks. They feel plenty interesting to me. If you want them to have interesting invocations to choose from make a Fighting Style Invocation that requires the Blade Pact. Pick 1 fighting style. Alternatively, going more magical with it and make riders like the Repelling Blast and Eldritch Spear. A Cleaving Strike that deals necrotic damage to an adjacent enemy to your target, or Piercing Cold that gives you a spear with a reach of 15, adn deals Cold damage. You could steal from critical Role, and have a Dagger Invocation that lets you teleport to where your dagger lands when thrown, 1 per short rest. There are all sorts of fun things you could tie to the chosen Pact weapon.</blockquote>
