      Warlock was apparently meant to be an INT-based caster in 5e, apparently the grognards didn’t like change so they reverted it after the dndnext playtest (but forgot to change all the starting proficiencies!) It makes more sense for the “mad mage who studied the forbidden magicks” archetype though.

        Man 5e really needs another INT caster and has too many CHA casters too. Every party is full of charismatic dumbfucks which I guess fits with how most players play.

          The trouble is that there’s basically no downside to dumping INT, it’s not like back in the day when things like languages and skill ranks depended on it
