@JeremyECrawford Why are Warlock Charisma casters, when their descriptions in the PHB screams Intelligence caster?

Warlocks used Charisma in previous editions. Playtest feedback wanted that carried forward. (Our preference was to use Intelligence.) #DnD https://t.co/4VbJrCCrhF

@AnOkayDMDo you do it with Int in your own games? Nah. Charisma works.

@Ghostly_Daemon @BringerFictionwould anything be broken by house ruling it as Intelligence? No.

Charisma I see is a good fit. You are pact with an entity that relies on influence. Not divinity, or study. Nor nature or bloodline.
I kind of wish it was Constitution, as in channeling this powerful energy you don’t understand and didn’t earn takes a toll on you, so if you are frail you don’t make it. That would go well thematically with some kind of exhaustion mechanic, but even without it I think it makes more logical sense than CHA, AND it would give us at least one class to whom CON is essential.
