[5E] Any arcane half-casters yet?

[Jiggy]

I remember chatting about this a bit when the PHB first came out, and wanted to follow up on it now that some supplements and DM's Guild material has had a chance to accumulate.

5E has full casters (wizard, cleric, etc), half-casters (ranger, paladin), 1/3 casters (eldritch knight, arcane trickster), and non-casters (non-EK fighters, non-AT rogues, etc).

Here's the thing:
Full casters include both arcane and divine options.
Half casters are only divine.
One-third casters are only arcane.

Now, I believe Nefreet is already working on a divine 1/3 caster, so that's taken care of.

But what about an arcane half-caster? Has anybody made that yet? And if not, would there be an audience for it if I made one? Should that be my next project?

Discuss!

I'm working on it, but I don't publish for the DM's Guild.

Outside warlock (which is a special caster), no there is not and there is a lot of interest in Gishes. Something like an arcane Paladin is very highly desired from what I've read.

The other thing I would like to see is something like an Oracle using the warlock as the base (or sorcerer but as 5e matures I feel sorcerer is by far the weakest class).

In Xanathar's Guide To Everything are the Divine Soul Sorcerer and the Celestial Warlock.

I think that's what you looking for.
Very nice options.

I might have to take a crack at it, then.

I wonder if I can find the old thread where I first pondered such a thing...

I'm aware, but there are only a handful of things in Pathfinder that I find both unique and deserving porting into future systems. From my personal tastes I would like an anti-magic barbarian path, an oracle class, an alchemist class, and a witch wizard tradition.

That's not exactly a lot considering the glut of materials in Pathfinder, but those are the tropes that personally appeal to me and I think are not covered adequately from the existing material.
