What about a multiclassed hexblade with ACCELERATED spell gain? How would you feel about it?

LOL. Yes, that would be worse; but hexblade isn't available in BG3.
See this thread (or the interview it's about), where it's claimed that Pact of the Blade will be boosted in power to be closer to hexblade.

Thanks for sharing that smile

For clarity subclass pacts and pact boons are different. Pact boons aren't selected until level 3, and the better invocations, like extra attack, for Pact of the Blade (the boon) aren't selectable until level 5 or later and eat up rare resources. You only have 3 invocations by level 5.

If you need to have Warlock 5 Paladin 6 in order to get the Cha benefits, things may feel a little more balanced. Still not perfect, but far more balanced than just taking a one level dip.

Back from timeout.
