This goes along with my instinct, though I'd apply a -2 penalty to the hide check rather than a +2 to the spot.

This interpretation would imply that all of a warlock's invocations that emulate a spell would require all the components the given spell does. Do you feel the same way about material components & foci?

If a warlock is hiding in an area of shadowy illumination and uses a spell-like ability (which require only somatic components) which has no visible origin (unlike the beam of an eldritch blast), what effect does that have on the status of the warlock as hidden? Is his location automatically...

If my warlock readies an action to destroy the first weapon used to attack an ally within 30', and the weapon is indeed destroyed, does the target get to choose another action instead of the attack, or is the standard action wasted, as the attack was made, but rendered ineffectual? This is all...

crafty Two feats that I think deserve mention: Leadership Craft Staff Leadership works well with a high-charisma warlock and I'm considering using it to find an artificer cohort, which could get me access to a few crafting feats. Craft Staff can't be picked up 'til 12th level, when the 'lock...

Moral And the moral of the story is- "When not in a hurry, toss a pebble over the pit first."

Would you consider a hand that is free enough to carry items free enough to allow you to spiderclimb? I'm guessing no, but thought I'd get a 2nd opinion.

umd'ing scrolls It's worth noting that the UMD check for a scroll can be significantly more difficult than for a wand. Scrolls potentially require you to UMD your way into an ability score. If you're a high-CHA 'lock then some scrolls'll be no problem, but if WIS or INT is your dump stat...

Since the 'it' in question here is the cover bonus, I just thought I'd mention that Precise Shot doesn't do away with the cover bonus- only the -4 penalty for firing into melee. Likely you know that and are just referring to the fact that -4 to hit is doable when dealing with a ranged touch...

I've a high CHA warlock and am considrering picking up Beguiling Influence, which would have me at +19 to bluff by 4th level. Aside from the feint action, what are some of the more memorable uses for Bluff that you've seen in play? I'm as interested in creative as I am in effective.

Crafter Cohort I'm planning on picking up Leadership for my warlock in order to get a crafter cohort. That way the crafter has good reasons to stay behind from time to time, keeping party size from swelling and gives me access to multiple item crafting feats for the cost of a single feat...

what i thought That's what I was thinking. It seems to me that, since you seldom have to deal with melee attacks while spiderclimbing, the +4 AC vs ranged attacks being prone gives you is well worth it.

While walking walls or the ceiling using the spell (and not the slippers which don't req hands to be free) are you considered prone, with the combat modifiers that that entails? If not, is it possible become prone?

During this intermission between sets, I just have to add a comment that I was the DM of the game (currently on hiatus) that Mistwell is referring to here. I disagree with his asessment of that feat in the game and when that campaign is revived it will be removed. Once one member of the party...

SLAs have somatic components which means they're visually noticeable when they're cast but not aurally.

Could you provide a citation, please? All I've seen so far is what's covered in the feat description.

It's really more the downtime & the feats that I'm hoping to take advantage of with the cohort- I can't see how to do that without the xp issues though. If I ease the downtime restriction, I could be there crafting with him and providing the xp, which would help with a lot of the balance...

I'm playing a high-charisma warlock and have been giving consideration on how best to take advantage of the 12th level ability, imbue item- it allows the warlock to substitute a UMD check for a spell prerequisite when crafting items. Since 'locks can be feat-hungry and down time may be scarce...

Which is why I think it would not if you cast ER after FF. ER increases your base land speed, which is what FF checks- is there some rule somewhere differentiating between base land speed and really really base land speed? I take a light tone not to mock your point- I can see it from that...

Fell Flight is based upon your base land speed. Expeditious Retreat increases your base land speed by 30'. As long as you activated Fell Flight after you cast Expeditious Retreat, would you fly faster? Expeditious Retreat specifically says it doesn't increase fly speeds, but it's not- Fell...
