A long time ago I changed it in my games so that Warlocks just have the same amount of spell slots as their proficiency bonus. I did the same for Druid Wild Shapes and Barbarian Rages and Rage Bonus.
I specify though, the proficiency bonus in that class's level so that you can't abuse this by multi-classing.

“You can regain up to half your spells slots”

So 1 spell slot then…

But then how do I bait my warlock into doing stupid things for more spell slots?

[TheSingleTrucker]

I've run ArchFey Lock(no dips) and 2 spell slots and multiple cantrip with my book made the campaign far more enjoyable. Need more SL, roll a fighter hybrid. Our DM took us thru 14th lvl and 3 spell slots was a boost, + 2 arcanum and I had a blast and let our DM worry about 2 or 3 spell slots.

Yeah, even if you have a way to regain your spell slots easier with that feature, or short rest, it's still a pretty low number of spell slots overall.

[KevinSmith-yzzn]

Yes. More spell slots. Or at least the Invocations that give you a spell should pretty much all give them for free (perhaps limited uses, but always have a free casting).

[charrleschervanik]

The problem with the 6 level 5 spell slots is that they are level 5 spells that reset on a short rest.

[ericrbacher]

I think this is a good system. it increases the spell slots by 50%, but keeps them from burning all the spell slots in one encounter. they are a toolbox by the other features they bring. otherwise, they would just be a better sorcerer.

Chassis is pronounced "cha-see"

[InquisitorThomas]

Honestly, it’s a really meh ability. A minute is 10 rounds of combat, so whatever spell slot you’re trying to regain is better spent just Eldritch Blasting or running away or hide to get out of combat. So it’s only real use is give you back a free spell slot after combat for exploration, which is alright, but you can use the ability once per long rest. it helps you feel not as anemic on Spell slots, but it’s still not great… honestly it might have felt better if it recharged on a short rest.

[TheJPJT]

Could of just gave them the sane amount as paladin, but with arcane recovery 😅

[firedragon]

this is why Coffeelock made Warlocks a better thing

[leivaslt]

They should have changed to “you can regain your spell slots x times per day equal to your proficiency bonus”…then wouldn’t be GM dependent and we would few an improvement on higher levels.
This new feature is pointless if you can SR a lot and too basic if you can’t.

[pacree]

I thought this ability was trash because in a combat scenario you can't waste a minute doing nothing and after you can take a short rest

[blankff]

Don’t worry, in another 50 years the rules will finally work
