Restore stand-alone functionality to Warlock War Cry. Its neat how it works as a summons aid, but I would recommend warlocks not physically be prevented from casting it and utilizing its fear function. Dismissal and Banishment also senselessly disable this spell in current rules.

It's the way it is for a reason (mainly flavour) - fiendlocks are not meant to be self-buffing fighter types, play a bard or cleric if you want to go down that path.
