[QUOTE="Retros_x, post: 9495508, member: 7033171"] I agree with these distinctions of complexity, but Warlock has not just the locked-in complexity. Even if Warlock could change their class feats on every long rest, they still have much more options they need to decide on than a cleric. Than the limited spell slots force the player to have a good understanding of the rules and combat to decide when its actually worth to spent one of these very scarce resources. The only reason warlock often is stated as "newbie friendly" is that they always cast on highest spell level, but the impact for new players is highly overrated IMO - on level 1 every caster has only one spell level anyway. Spell slots on higher level grow gradually and at the time players need to handle multiple different spell levels - they are not complete newbies anymore and hopefully can handle it a bit better. Haha, only after me and the other more experienced players adviced them to do so. But they still were frustrated to blast all the time and of of them plainly refused to, because it was boring. Interestingly they preferred to shoot their crossbow and had no problem with the crossbow being a "boring default attack roll". Because crowsbow shooting matched their expectations "target enemy, hit for damage". Meanwhile Eldritch Blast did not meet their expectations of magic, which should be more fantastic than "target enemy, hit for damage". Honestly, I cant blame them for that. [/QUOTE]
