Warlock At-Wills, How Many?!

1. At first level each character gets the following (From table Character Advancement Table p-29):
"class features; racial traits; gain 1 feat; train starting skills; gain 2 at-will attack powers; gain 1 encounter attack power; gain 1 daily attack power"

2. Warlocks Class features
Class Features: Eldritch blast, Eldritch Pact, Prime Shot,Shadow Walk, Warlock’s Curse

3. Eldritch blast is an at will power, but does not count as one of the Warlocks at will powers because it is a class feature. Eldritch Pact grants an at will power too, but also does not count because it is a class feature.

4. Warlock Powers (P-131)
Your powers are also known as spells. Each power is associated with one of the three eldritch pacts, but you aren’t limited to choosing powers associated with your pact. In fact, most warlocks choose at least a few powers from outside their pact to give themselves a wider range of options.




So, if I'm understanding correctly. A 1st level Infernal Warlock gets:

1. Eldritch Blast (Free)
2. Hellish Rebuke (Free)
3. Eye Bite
4. Dire Radiance

So either your 2 at wills are chosen for you, or you get 4 at wills, which means you get every 1st Level Warlock at-will on the list.

I'm confused.... :/

Your two at wills are chosen for you. All warlocks have eldritch blast, period, plus one at will from their pact.

It's the former.

It is a little bit unclear, but all warlocks actually get eldritch blast and their pact's at-will at first level. Warlocks are unique in that they don't get a choice of their at-will powers (yet--surely there will be splats with new at-wills and then warlocks will be able to pick one pact-related at-will). If eldritch blast and the pact power were meant to be additional powers, they wouldn't be called "Warlock attack 1," they'd be "Warlock Feature" or the like (see for example clerics, paladins, and wizards, who have class features that work like powers).

True -- except for Humans.

Humans are the most viable Cha-based Star'locks, and are very good at either Con-based Warlock pact.

Really screwy way of wording things, but that's what I thought.

Thanks guys!

"You gain [eldritch blast] as well as another at-will power as determined by your eldritch pact."
"Your pact determines one of the at-will spells you know"

Pretty clear, if you can lower yourself to reading the features.
