Decide day by day? But one Maximise feat only works on one ability, meaning either Eldritch blast OR Hellfire blast if I'm not mistaken... (because using HB CHANGES the eldritch blast into a hellfire blast) hmmmm if I remember correctly, chain gets weaker damage each additional target, right...

Exactly what I was thinking. Char will start at lvl12 (lvl9 warlock, lvl3 hellfire warlock, overall lvl12 caster). I also thought about doing something like that to the standard eldritch blast though. Just so I'd pack some additional punch without having to take the CON damage every time. But...

Yea, I'll look into that. Also I'm thinking about taking some SLA-equivalent to a meta-magic feat for Hellfire blast to make sure whichever poor bastard makes me use hellfire blast WILL regret it. Maybe maximise SLA?

Ooooookay, finally had a talk about it all with my GM so the char is slowly nearing completion now. The following decisions were made (the people to discuss it being the GM, another one of the experienced players and myself): - Hellfire Blast is treated in the same way as a warlocks eldritch...

I have another question about hellfire warlock, another point where the rules-text doesnt seem to be clear to me. Its about how the ability Hellfire Shield works. Here is the Books description: Does this work like 1: I call up hellfire to surround myself, take 1 point of CON damage for using...

I AM still reading this thread, I just was out of town and without internet for the weekend. Now I'm back... and surprised (but in a happy way) how many replies this got! :) Right now I'm too tired to think through all of this and draw my own conclusions but I definitally will re-read it all...

Me again, with another thought :o Thinking about it, I COULD actually make some interesting use off the melee oriented Abyssal Heritor feats, especially combined with the hellfire warlocks Hellfire Shield I guess (whenever someone melee attacks me, they get hit by a hellfire blast basically)...

hmmmm In complete arcane it says that Sudden Metamagic Feats don’t require modified spell slots, and therefore work as well with spell-like abilities or invocations as they do with spells (except for verbal components which they dont have and gestures only for invocations). No problems here...

Right, gonna check out Abyssal Heritage and, if I like it, talk to my GM about if he'll allow it (cause it seems I'm the only one asking for content of books we werent originally using ;) ) I think it says in Complete Arcane that those SLA feats can be used for stuff like this. It even points...

Please dont let this thread become a discussion about this specific work around for the hellfire "cost"! Its off limits for me anyways because: no Magic of Incarnum Actually I think this question is answered in this specific case (or it will be as soon as I have a talk to my GM about how we...

Hmmmm I may have to look into those heritages more closely. Just from what you've written I gotta say though: I dont really use invocations that allow a save so at first glance it looks like I wouldnt benefit much from it... You may be right about point blank shot and precise shot of course...

Ok, scrap that. I just found out I'd need to be lvl 16 to quicken that specific ability since its level 4 and quicken spelllike ability works only on abilities that are caster level /2 -4 (in my case 12/2 -4 = 2)

First off: Thanks a lot guys! Aplixis: Right, the wand of lesser restoration is basically what the class description suggests for a hellfire warlock to carry. I guess I'll have to talk to my GM about how costly that will be and if I can get some other item that does this trick (I somehow dont...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the boards so if what I'm asking has already been well-covered (at least I didnt find it), please feel free to just point me in the right direction :) I'm still pretty new to D&D 3.5 and pen&paper roleplaying in general (the game I'm currently in is my first one except...
