The class feature is called Pact Boon, so they wouldn't qualify. The riders basically say: Gloom Pact (Binder): or Star Pact (Binder):. So, the riders don't work for generic warlocks. At level 16 they get "Binder's Boon", their equivalent to improved boon. For Gloom: During the slide...

Domination: Unaligned or evil Fury: Any but lawful good [although 'most' are unaligned] Dailies: They get 2 choices at each daily level (expect for 9 and 25, where they get a warlock ally summoning power). There is 1 single target ranged attack, and 1 area burst that creates a zone attack at...

It is, but unfortunately, it's the actual feat (in HoS).

I'm not entirely sure. While you do get to ignore prereqs per the paragon path power, the power does say to summon a creature associated with your Expert Mage benefit ... I'm not sure if you are assumed to have the same feature as your ally, or if the power was effectively unusable. Whenever...

It's usable as an MBA, so they can use it for OAs, charges, and anything that grants MBAs like warlords, etc.

Flail's seem to be tied to sliding people around ... so maybe just add it to hammers and maces as part of bludgeon expertise? The Holy Symbol is correct (you only grant combat advantage if you use a power or ability that states you grant combat advantage). Totem ... maybe some sort of...

Yes he does, a Dark Creeper at 9, a Sorrowswornat 25. One note on the Charisma based attacks, they have +2 to hit built in, so if Charisma is within 2 of Dex, it's either as good as if not better in terms of to hit roll, and only the at-will power deals cha mod damage (the dominating powers...

The Shade and Vryloka have sort of taken the concept of themes in terms of giving utility powers. They could probably make races more like themes (they already have the racial power, which is an encounter power you get for free, and that is not as powerful as a 'real' encounter or utilty power...

The blackguard had me thinking about the dark pact warlock's flavor/powers that hurt your allies to better hurt the bad guys. The Blackguard pulls that theme off a bit better, IMHO, and it helps to show the dark reflection of the paladin/cavalier considering the ammount of "sacrifice yourself...

Technically speaking, the level 19 one gives you something else you can summon with the same power. So you could only prepare the level 5 one, but you could use it summon either a skel or a wraith (or the choice of the two nethermancer ones if that was the expert school option you picked). The...

They don't mention it at all, it leaves out anything that is copied straight from the other book. Technically, even without the implement keyword, your weapon would still get the magical properties, crit, etc off your implement, but it does mess with the feat stuff (which is kind of important...

One interesting note on the "friend giving blood to vampire" thing ... the vampire gets a daily utility at 16 to return the favor. He can lose a surge to give an ally 1 hp, their bloodied value in thp, and a saving throw with a bonus. Sort of an interesting thing ... it gives just enough to...

It's going to have to be played to really see how good or bad probably. Of the stuff that was previewed, there was quite a bit left out ... If you mean bad in terms of lack of choice, definitely. Outside of a couple of levels for utility powers, and your branching paragon path, you get no...

There are four at-will attacks, 2 for each of the new schools. I've mentioned the other necromancer one early (deals untyped damage, creates difficult terrain for enemies). The extra nethermancer one is Unravelling dart. Ranged attack, can target 2 creatures. Does 1d4 + Int damage, and is...

Just another bit of FYI. I was checking the Executioner assassin again, and there WAS an update. Quick Swap allows you to draw or stow a weapon AND draw another weapon as a single free action, instead of just one of the other. Considering you may be switching between two weapons and a...

The only summon is the servant of Vice. 22 You get a utilty based on Vice. For Domination it's Dark Grace, a daily aura 1. If you or an all in the aura hit an enemy, that person gets 5 thp. If an ally in the aura spend a surge, they ony get half the hp, and you get the rest. For Fury it's a...

I'm prety sure the level 5 is the one previewed, single target, damage, half on a miss, first time the target dies it rises as a minion dominated by the cleric with -2 to defenses, counts as an ally, etc. 19 is a blast, deals damage, etc. Creates a zone, the first enemy that dies in the zone is...

Other than some powers available for paladin's (dailies and utilities for cavalier's, and at-wills as well for straight paly's) there is a paragon options that can be good for defenders. Dark Watcher: 11 feature let's you deal no damage on an OA to instead weaken the enemy until end of your...

Dread Smite does flat damage (hit or miss) and ongoing (hit). At 7 the flat damage increases by 2. At 17 and 27, the flat damage increases by 3 each time in addition to the ongoing going up by 5 each time. Also, it uses CHA mod, so it also scales that way. The cleric's. Death Domain: At...

It gets both. At level 3 it gets Feral Assault (the surge spender). At 7 it gets a second Blood Drinker. If you take Vampire Noble, you get a 3rd use of Blood Drinker at 11. At 13, you get an extra surge per day. At 17, unleashed fury replaces feral assault. (it's basically the same attack with...
