I have a conundrum with Warlock Eldritch Invocations in 5e. Mainly that it has the familiar 4e problem of “do you want the cool thing or the thing that will make you more powerful”

It isn’t AS bad as 4e in that oyu get a lot more spell access and the like but (1) Choosing between things like agonizing blast (which I just give to my players usually because it just…. well if you aren't a hexblade it just makes the class).

I don't know if this is a good problem that makes the choices interesting or a bad problem.

I think it’s a bad problem. Would prefer math stuff to be preloaded, choices focus on fun tricks.
