I thought of weird build for a Warlock that mostly focuses on mobility. Repelling Blast allows you to push a creature up to 10 ft away from you when you hit them with Eldritch Blast. I thought of an idea that a Warlock could hit themselves with Repelling Blast, and use this for mobility purposes. The problem with this is I don't know how this would interact with the player hitting themselves, since it pushes a creature away from them. This could be interpreted as moving the creature away from where the caster was at the time of the casting, which would allow this to work, but I'm not sure.
That sounds like a lot of cheese, that could be done with it. How about the following Feat:
Eldritch Momentum Prerequisite: Eldritch Blast cantrip, must have either the Repelling Blast or Grasp of Hadar Eldritch Invocation.
You have learned to harness the recoil force of your Eldritch Blast to propel yourself across the battlefield. By directing the energies of your Eldritch Blast inward, you can move in unexpected ways.
As an action, you can direct the force of your Eldritch Blast against yourself to immediately move in a straight line. The movement distance and self-inflicted force damage depend on the number of beams you can cast with Eldritch Blast, as follows:
For each beam of your Eldritch Blast, you can move an additional 10 feet and take 1d10 force damage. You decide how many beams to use for this purpose and must take the corresponding amount of damage for each beam used.
This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks and is in addition to your normal movement for the turn. You must finish a short or long rest before you can use this feature again.
The movement must be in a direction away from your current position and can be used to cross gaps or obstacles, subject to the DM's discretion. However, you cannot use this ability to move into a space that is too small to accommodate you or that is occupied by another creature.
This feat cannot be used if you are unable to move or if your movement is restricted in any way (e.g., by the grappled or restrained condition).

Taking the Dash Action hurts a lot less for more movement until level 11 lol.
