[QUOTE="Sorrowdusk, post: 5431383, member: 96342"] I like warlock and I've had fun with the ability myself. But TBH it isnt always useful a lot of times, there's not always room (remember its a spread) to use it without hitting the party and good luck using it when the party is already engaged in melee. But yeah, if you've got an enemy caster or a group in the back you might be able to hit them with it. As others have said, it is possible to teleport out of it-you can still use Verbals for V only spells OR command word items. Of course if you've a cleric in your party, or you're a multiclass like my own Cleric/Warlock/Eldritch disciple you can drop a Quickened silence over the area as well. It is certainly possible to have psionic abilities in items as well, which generally only require a mental command. You may have more than one caster in the enemy group and spread them out so they are not so close together-if the warlock grapples one, the other will have warning and may dispel it. FURTHERMORE-either caster could have a Ring of FoM, or the [I]Freedom[/I] Armor property from MiC. The wizard at this point could/should also be flying if ceiling heigh permits, I know the Warlock will (or at least ought to be.) ALSO-if you like, you may House Rule that while the warlock can cast his Evards as much as he wants, casting a new Evards ends the first, the same way as it is with Nightmare's Made Real from CoM. How do people normally deal with say, WEB?
