UA5 Constitution Warlock Test (v2.0.

1)
Designer’s Notes: What is this?
This version is an experimental homebrew class, and
currently a work in progress. It seeks to be an
improvement upon UA5 Playtest material. You can use
this version of the class, or v1.3.0 depending upon your
preference.
While this is a functional class in its current state, it likely
requires additional work fluffing out the Eldritch
Invocation options, but there is still plenty for you to be
getting on with if you want to try it out.

Designer’s Notes: Eldritch Invocations

The design goal was to remove all “invocation taxes” – i.e.
anything that was an auto-pickup. The goal is picking
things that are fun, flavourful and utility-oriented, rather
than damage.
Such taxes have been turned into dedicated class features
(such as Potent Spellcasting at 5th level instead of
Agonising Blast), or into Pact Spells (no more picking
Thirsting Blade just to function at a basic level).
If it is not endorsed in the list of “unchanged” invocations
or here, then you should run it past your DM first. If it’s
just something that deals more damage (something like
Eldritch Smite springs to mind, which is basically
someone saying “I wish I was playing paladin right now”)
then be careful, as those will likely dominate the other
options. As I mentioned previously, I would prefer to stick
to encouraging things that promote a certain playstyle or
offer interesting utility.
This is also an experiment and a work in progress. More
Invocation options may be added at a later date. It
depends on whether this version is the one that wins out.

Pact Weapon
Conjuration cantrip
Casting Time: Action
Range: Self
Components: S
Duration: 24 hours
Tracing arcane sigils in the air, you conjure a Simple or
Martial melee weapon of your choice in your
outstretched hand, or you create a bond with another
weapon you touch. The weapon you conjure or touch
must lack the Heavy property, and the spell fails if you
touch a magic item that is attuned to someone else. For
the duration, the weapon grants you the following
benefits:
You have proficiency with the weapon, and you can
use it as your spellcasting focus.
When you attack with the weapon, you can use your
spellcasting ability modifier for the attack and
damage rolls, instead of using Strength or Dexterity.
If the weapon has the Thrown property, the weapon
returns to your hand immediately after hitting or
missing with an attack.
