So I have two ideas for this, but in principle it’s the same: allow a Warlock to change the damage type of Eldritch Blast. I have two options here, but they both have the same prerequisites, so I’ll be leaving that the same.
Eldritch Evoker:
Warlocks who are diligent in their study of the arcane arts are able to alter the properties of their Eldritch Blast.
Prerequisites: The Eldritch Blast cantrip, Proficiency in the Arcana skill
Whenever you deal damage with Eldritch Blast, you may choose to have the cantrip deal acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder damage instead of force. If you do, roll an Arcana check (DC25), and if you fail, the creature takes half the damage. If you know a spell that deals the same type of damage as the type you wish to change to, the check is rolled with Advantage.
Choose a damage type: acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder. Whenever you cast Eldritch Blast, you can choose to deal that type of damage instead of force damage.
At tenth level, and again at fifteenth level, you can choose an additional damage type.
If you have or obtain Expertise in Arcana, you can choose an additional damage type.
When you gain levels in Warlock and have the option to replace Your known invocations, you can instead change one or more of your Arcane Evoker options.
