What? You don't like Kyuss' stats? I thought they were...impressive already... ![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
Monday Afternoon Update
Sorry for the late update, had problems getting computer access until late . . .
1. The League is left scratching their heads over what to do about the Vault door. Obviously, we need to find the keys but we don't have the first damn clue as to where they are. One school of thought is slaughter all the Giants in the Citadel of Weeping Dragons to search for the key and the other is slaughter all the Giants in the Gorgrelord's castle to search for the key. Low-level divination spells (the League wasn't spell-prepped for anything other than combat) are inconclusive. A choice is made . . .
2. The League's battle tactics reach their zenith. Perfect battlefield control + precise artillery barrages + surgical melee strikes = FLAWLESS VICTORY! If you were a Giant it would be painful to watch.
3. After our victory we enjoy the spoils when we are rudely interrupted by a Gargantuan Fang Dragon (a crappy development, let me tell you, when you only have 22 Power Points left).

Before you stands an unarmed and unassuming bookish young man of no more than twenty years, complete with thick spectacles. As he clenches his fist, you swear that his hand is bathed in a sheen of dark emerald energy.
COMBAT
Eldritch Blast (Sp): The first invocation acquired by all warlock is the eldritch blast. The eldritch blast is a ranged touch attack that is treated as a 1st level spell and has a range of 60 feet. At Giovanni's current level of power, his eldritch blast deals a base of 8d6 damage (10d6 with his Greater Chasuble of Fell Power).
Invocations (Sp): Giovanni has acquired a small number of invocations that he can use. Invocations are identical to spell-like abilities, with the exception that they have somatic components (only). Invocations can be used at will with no limit in uses per day. Giovanni has access to the following invocations:
Least:
Eldritch Spear (Blast Shape): The range of eldritch blast increases to 250 feet.
See the Unseen: Grants Darkvision 60 feet and see invisibility (24 hour duration).
Dark One's Own Luck: Grants CHA bonus to one save (included with Will save above, 24 hour duration).
Lesser:
Eldritch Chain: Eldritch chain bounces into 1 additional target for every 5 levels (secondary targets take half damage).
Flee the Scene: Use dimension door with close range (25 feet + 5 feet every 2 levels) at will, and leave behind a major image of self in its place.
Fell Flight: Fly at land speed with good maneuverability, 24 hour duration.
Greater:
Wall of Perilous Flame: Use wall of flame at will, but half of the damage is fire and the other half results from arcane power. Targets that are taken to 0 hit points by a Wall of Perilous Flame are destroyed.
Chilling Tentacles: Use Evard's black tentacles at will, but creatures also take 2d6 cold damage.
Vitriolic Blast: Eldritch blast deals acid damage, ignores SR, and deals 2d6 additional damage for next 3 rounds.
Dark:
Retributive Invisibility: Use greater invisibility at will, and deals 4d6 damage in 20 foot radius if dispelled.
Dark Foresight: Use foresight at will, and communicate telepathically with a close target of the effect.
Detect Magic (Sp): Giovanni can use detect magic at will.
Deceive Item: Giovanni can always take 10 on Use Magic Device, even if stressful situations would not normally allow him to do so (such as combat).
Fiendish Resilience (5): As a free action once per day, Giovanni can call upon the dark forces to heal his wounds. He gains fast healing 5 for a duration of 2 minutes.
Energy Resistance: A Warlock selects two types of energy (in Havok's case, Fire and Electricity) to gain resistance (5 points).
Imbue Item: A Warlock with the proper item creation feats can use his Use Magic Device skill to simulate spells required in the making of items. The DC for arcane spells is 15 + spell level, and the DC for divine spells is 25 + spell level.

I'm curious, how do you make good use out of the Timeless Body power without extend power or similar? With so many other people in the party, wouldn't it be hard to gather all your opponents' attention? Thanks in advance
