[QUOTE="Lord Sessadore, post: 4663673, member: 57255"] From a quick glance: I'm not a fan of Sacrifice to Caiphon. It's especially broken at low levels. Lose 1 hp to retry that encounter power I just missed with? Yes, please! And I can do it 6+ times before it costs me a surge! I'm the only person with reliable encounter powers, yay! The rest of the feats look OK, though I'm a bit wary of Twofold Pact ... getting the second pact boon I don't really see much of a problem with, since you can still only use one boon at a time. But getting the at-will of the pact ... currently, humans are the only race that gets a bonus at-will, and that's a big part of their schtick. I don't like giving out extra at-wills with mere feats, either. After the feats, I only got as far as the heroic-tier powers, and those only skimming. They mostly seem ok, but is it just me or do they generally do more damage than the PHB 'lock powers? Not that that's necessarily a bad thing; in my opinion, some of the warlock powers have kind of low damage compared to other strikers, with very little means to improve them. ('Locks really get the short end of the stick there - rangers and rogues both can get Superior Weapon Proficiency and Weapon Focus, both feats without prereqs, whereas the 'lock is stuck with crappy energy equivalents of Weapon Focus which have rather steep ability prereqs.) Edit: Ok, I never said that a quick glance meant I had little to say :p [/QUOTE]
