[QUOTE="Empirate, post: 5352546, member: 78958"] On a low-middling optimization level, I'd still skip Enlightened Spirit in favor of straight Warlock. There are a few other PrCs you can get into with Warlocks and that will advance your invocation progression. Take a peek [URL="http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=2915.0"]here[/URL]. A few other things to consider: Hellfire Warlock is, IMO, really hard to justify with a good-aligned character. Optimization-wise, it's often recommended. Try to get there without an actual Binder level, though. Uncanny Trickster and Legacy Champion are two ways to advance your Hellfire Blasts; a [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/races/bloodlines.htm"]Bloodline [/URL]is another, and offers other benefits. Chaotic Good Warlocks make great Fey-flavored characters. Fey Heritage and the rest of that feat line are not too bad, actually. You could end up with very nice DR/Cold Iron that way (coz it stacks with your Warlock class feature), and Fey Power is very nice indeed for the boost to Invocation save DCs. If you can buy off the LA, Feytouched is a nice template to go with your base race. Or just be a Pixie or Petal in the first place for tons of pure awesome, of course. Spell Penetration is not that greatly needed, IMO. Greater Spell Penetration is, frankly, a waste. Two of your precious few feats to get even more of a small bonus useful only in relatively (especially at low to mid levels) rare circumstances? No deal. Arcane Mastery - same vein. Your choice of Invocations should just make sure you have something useful to do in case high-SR enemies show up. But that's not always the case and is heavily campaign-dependent. Also, you could still UMD a Wand of Web or something. Two levels of Chameleon, though not so good for your Invocation advancement, offer the awesome possibility of daily changing one Invocation via the floating feat (Extra Invocation, natch). This is a unique ability, and very useful for the flexibility-wise challenged Warlock. [/QUOTE]
