# Warlock Reworked ## Minor changes to the class This document includes optional buffs to the warlock, change to hexblade, additional eldritch invocations, and invocation changes. ## Warlock Changes ### Pact Buffs Pact of Blade is the only pacts that is getting a direct changes in this document. Chain already has a great change made on GM Binder and includes a link to said document. Tomb is already in a good place and needs no changes in my eyes. #### Pact of Blade You can use your bonus action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it. You are proficient with it while you wield it and when you attack with this weapon you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for attack and damage rolls long as the weapon lacks the two-handed weapon property. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die. You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can’t affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks. #### Pact of Chain [Pact of Chain](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LGvaRqlGEbT0DNSVvlm) this is a good change for pact of chain. ### Hexblade Hexblade loses Charisma bonus to weapon attacks but gains a fighting style from this list #### Hex Warrior At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. The influence of your patron also teaches you a fighting style from the list below.
