My StarLock is about to turn L5 and I've just found the perfect power for him, CharDev-wise: Trumpet the Star's Fall.  It fits the flavor I'm trying to create for him.  But there is a glitch - it's an Invoker power, not a Warlock power.  Would it break game balance to re-write TTSF (change 'Divine' to 'Arcane', change WIS to CHR) and let my character use that?

I don't see anything wrong with turning Trumpet the Star's Fall into a Warlock power, but it would certainly require your DMs consent.  It would be much easier to find a Warlock daily that could be reflavored into Trumpet the Star's Fall.

Basically what Erachima said, but without the unnecessary meanness.

Sometimes class mechanical differences will make swapping powers simply by level incompatible, or affect balance.

Having read the power description, I don't think that's the case here. It will just give you a Daily power that plays strongly to the secondary controller part of the Warlock, and won't enhance the striker role much at all.

Definitely needs your DM's approval as a house rule if you are still keen.

If you are just hooked on the decription, then that's re-writable onto your own powers - any of those that blast an area could have an identical description to Trumpet, and would feel right.... that kind of change shouldn't usually need DM approval - although it's good to mention your re-wording.
