Another day, another one of my revamped classes for DnD5e.
The Warlock is my favourite class in the game, but its reliance on short rests to recharge spell slots and the pitiful amount of invocations known turn DnD's most customizable class into a boring slog of "I cast Eldritch Blast" and "As my first invocations, I take Agonizing Blast and Devil's Sight. Again".
By adding the Patron's expanded spell list (which goes up to 9th level) automatically to their spells known, gaining more invocations (10, compared to the OG Warlock's 8) and rebalancing the invocations (including adding higher level Pact-exclusive invocations up to 14th level), the INT-based Occultist allows for much greater build variety, while retaining what made the original class so loved by many.
The final class was meant to include the third Pact as well (a rebalanced Pact of the Chain that was meant to summon an increasingly powerful familiar) and three more subclasses, but I kind of gave up on that after DnD2024 released, as I recon that most people will eventually jump ship and shift to the new system. I only completed two pacts (Blade and Tome) and one subclass (Undying) which are the ones that are in play in my current campaign. Feel free to expand on this concept if you like it!
