While trying to build my very first character I've come across some things that have confused me/ been a little blurry in the rulebook: For starters, I've taken the feat "Quicken Spell-like Ability", and while I plan on taking "Empower Spell-like ability" later I was wondering if both could be used at the same time to make one super big Eldritch blast 3 times per day. Next, as a character progresses they can choose which abilities they wish to progress, I think it's once every fourth level; I was wondering how exactly this was added onto you stats? Does the increase count as a bonus, as you would gain from magic items, or is it added straight onto the base stat? And that leads me to ANOTHER question, what's the purpose of base stats? It seems like the only time your stats even remotely affect your spells is when the stat BONUS is taken into account, and since that seems to be the case what exactly is the point of the base stat? lol Also, any suggestions for feats to be used by a lock focusing on both a ranged build and a Glaive build? Not a hybrid but for one of each; might be building a ranged lock later. Lastly, I'm planning on focusing on an Eldritch Glaive build for now, and was wondering what items would increase my strength. Still having some trouble navigating the books and finding what I want.  Sorry for the pretty random nature of my posts and thanks for any and all help!</blockquote>
