Alternate Warlock: Preview 2!

Hey all!

Been working a bit on the Alternate Warlock in the background (along with some other things as usual). I've made some changes/additions, and I thought it would be a good time to give ya'll another preview to see what you think!

As always, constructive criticism and comments are welcomed!
______________________________

Changes Since PREVIEW 1:

(The full change log from the PHB Warlock is below)

Eldritch Blast // Now the baseline EB deals 1d8 force damage, but no matter how your Patron Magic modifies your EB, you can always fall back on the 1d8 force damage (basically firebolt without all the pesky fire resistances). 

Pact Focus // Eldritch Familiar // You can now cast your spells and have them originate from your Familiar!

Pact Focus // Eldritch Tome // The Invocation formerly known as Agonizing Blast (aka INT mod to damage) is now part of this Focus. Blade has been buffed with Hexblade INT for attack/damage, and Familiars can shoot spells while you safely hide, so Tome needed something to keep up. 

The Fiend // Your fire damage from Eldritch blast now ignores resistances (gotta love hellfire). Accursed Blast (a new feature) empowers your Fiend-Blast, but Dark One's Luck has been reverted to compensate.

The Great Old One // Everyone's favorite unknowable, incomprehensible, eldritch horror Patron makes its grand debut! See below for the full changes.

Eldritch Invocations // Blasphemous Prayer has actually been included this time around. I've also included the first Arcanum Invocation, Minor Arcanum which gives you a single 6th-level spell you can cast once per long rest.

The goal is to offer Invocations that empower certain playstyles that would rival the power of the various Arcanum Invocations - not sure what they'll look like!
