The Warlock 2.0

Presented here is an updated version of the 5e Warlock class including updated mechanics, invocations, spell progression, and subclasses. This updated class is a 1/3 charisma-based caster with a high level spell slot that replenishes each time they roll initiative. This system allows Warlocks to have more spell slots in a standard adventuring day and the flexibility to cast spells at lower spell levels. Invocations have been updated so that all options present interesting and fun options without any that are traps or significantly worse than their counterparts. The class also included a much improved capstone feature that allows Warlocks to contact their patron and change out their Mystic Arcanum. Pact of the Blade have been updated so that all warlocks have the option to make weapon attacks using Charisma. Pact of the Tome now allows the cantrips to be swapped out each long rest, and Pact of the Talisman provides more benefits early on to failed saving throws and attack rolls. Subclasses have all been updated as well with changes indicated in bold lettering. These subclasses are also backwards compatible with the 5e warlock. All of these changes have been made for the sake of a) making all options fun with unique mechanics that make its gameplay interesting, b) balancing the power level of all options for the class, c) making sure that all features scale into the higher levels of play, and e) removing options that can be potentially game-breaking. I hope you enjoy these updates and find them as an interesting twist to a 5e staple.
