This is an attempt at a quick warlock rebuild into the pathfinder ruleset that takes advantage of existing upgrades to use as a baseline as a balance of power.
If you are tired of Warlock conversions, this thread is not for you.
Alignment: Any
Hit Dice: d8
Class Skills: As Warlock in Complete Arcane, standard conversion to pathfinder per the conversion guide.
Weapon and Armor: As Warlock in Complete Arcane.
Invocations: As Warlock in Complete Arcane.
Eldritch Blast: As Warlock in Complete Arcane.
Detect Magic: As Warlock in Complete Arcane.
Damage Reduction, Deceive Item, Fiendish Resilience, Energy Resistance, and Imbue Item are Removed From Class Features.
Sorcerer Bloodline is Added: As Bloodline in Pathfinder Core Rules.
Bloodline Spells: Spells become invocations the Warlock can use at will as any other invocation. Spells with SR: Yes (Harmless) are limited to personal range only.
Quick and Dirty. Any Suggestions, Comments, or Death Threats?

Actually this thread would be great for them if it would end all those conversions/hombrew versions. f course it won't ends but that's another matter. ;)
Eldritch Blast: As Warlock in Complete Arcane.
Could be upped to a fixed progression of 1d6 at 1st level +1d6 every two leveles thereafter to avoid awkward irregularities of levels 13+. That additional die of damage at higher level wont make it overpowered in my opinion.
Damage Reduction, Deceive Item, Fiendish Resilience, Energy Resistance, and Imbue Item are Removed From Class Features.
I am unconvinced about removing them. Ok, Deceive Item seems to be added just because, instead I would change it to 1/2 level bonus to Use Magic Device checks, Fiendish Resilience I would keep and Imbue Item rewrote so the warlock level is treated as caster level for purpose of acquiring and using Item Creation feats.

No problem, I thought about it as well. However, would it grant access to any one bloodline or would you limit access to certain few (Abyssal, Infernal, whatothers fiendish bloodlines appeared).
Bloodline Spells: Spells become invocations the Warlock can use at will as any other invocation. Spells with SR: Yes (Harmless) are limited to personal range only.
Would need to look through all bloodlines accesible and check if there are any spells that should not be available at-will.

Agreed, 1d6 per odd level seems fitting with balance in other classes, channel energy, sneak attack, etc.

I did this because I envisioned a class not limited by fiendish bloodlines and these powers were fiendish. I feel like the powers you gain access to in the bloodline offset this loss with better flavor for the character model. YMMV

No Limit to which ones may be taken, but some would clearly be better than others. Given this is a complete homebreew experiament, I would think that a DM could adjust small features, ie. Arcane bloodline feats could include sudden <<metamagic>> spell like abilities feats. or Draconic bloodline would allow you to convert the eldritch blast to your enery type and gain the benefit of +1 damage per die.

Agreed, This is why I included the bit about harmless spells. Last thing I need is a warlock giving everyone in the party overland flight.... I would say swap as appropriate keeping with flavor.
Adamanent Entertainment did a warlock and its on the d20pfrsrd.com
