Offering

Original:

Eldritch Offering (Su)

At 3rd level, the character is able to channel their eldritch energy into a bound vistage to rejuvinate a spend power faster. The eldritch pactmaster can choose to lose the ability to manifest any invocations or use their eldritch blast for 5 rounds in order to reduce the wait time of a vestige ability that recharges every 5 rounds by 1d2 rounds. Using this ability is a swift action.

This may be done at any time during the vestages cooldown period, though it can never reduce the remaining cooldown time to less than 1 round.

At 7th level, you are able to reduce the cooldown time of a vestage power by 1d4 rounds instead of 1d2 with the use of this ability.

I would change this to:

Eldritch Offering (Su)

At 3rd level, the eldritch pactmaster is able to channel their supernatural energy into a bound vestige to refresh a spend power faster. The eldritch pactmaster can choose to lose the ability to manifest any invocations (except blast essence or blast shape invocations) or use their eldritch blast for 5 rounds in order to reduce the wait time of a vestige ability that recharges every 5 rounds by 1 round. You may sacrifice multiple invocations this way, each reduces the recharge by 1 round. Using this ability is a swift action.

This may be done at any time during the vestiges recharge period, though it can never reduce the remaining recharge time to less than 1 round.

At 7th level, you are able to reduce the recharge time of a vestige power by faster. Least invocations are unchanged, but lesser invocations reduce the recharge by 2 rounds, greater invocations by 3, and dark invocations by 5. Eldritch blast counts as a least invocation.

Generalizing

This class can easily be made compatible with Dragonfire Adept.

• Rename class to "Invocative Pactmaster".
• Add "or 2d6 breath weapon" and add/or "2 invocations known".
• Rename "Eldritch Offering" to "Invocative Offering".
• In Invocative Offering, add a sentence to note that eldritch blast and breath weapon count similarly, and that breath effects also cannot be sacrificed.

Extra ability

Not that I think we'll get to 16th level but:

Invocation from Beyond (Su)

At 10th level, you learn of the existence of vestiges beyond those normally contacted. You may forfeit one of the vestiges to which you may bind to know any one additional invocation of any level allowed to you. You can use or not use this ability whenever you bind to vestiges (which may be more than once per day, if using Expel Vestiges, for example). Each time this ability is used (including the first), all binding checks suffer a cumulative -5 penalty. You may only learn one extra invocation at a time in this way. If you expel the "invocation vestige", consider that any currently active uses of it are dismissed or dispelled.
