    It's not like doing more damage changes their role at all. Warlocks don't even struggle to deal good damage when they have things like Hellfire Warlock, Eldritch Claws and Eldritch Glaive to use.

    I just integrate Hellfire Blast and some Hellfire mitigation into the base class since they are basically manditory anyway: at even levels I give them +1d6 Hellfire Blast and +1 free daily Hellfire Blast, and Hellfire Con damage is restored at rest. It just means their better blasting can come online sooner.

    You don't have to perfomr experiments on the action economy to give the Warlock extra damage. Just give him extra damage.
