[QUOTE="radmod, post: 5289594, member: 93008"] My understanding is yes you can do that. You [B]can [/B]apply the metamagic SLA 3 times per day. This means you can do 2 quickened + empowered and one each of quicken/empower, or 3 each of quicken/empower, etc. From the PH: "The ability improvement is permanent." It is added straight onto the stat. I'm not sure what you're asking. The save DC for your invocations is 10 + equivalent spell + Charisma modifier. Your CON bonus increases your hp and Fort saves; Your DEX increases your AC and chance to hit with your blast, etc. If you're asking why don't they just limit it to bonuses and not base stats, for one it's tradition. Also certain spells, abilities, monsters, etc. can reduce your stats so really it's easier and allows for partial loss of a stat bonus. Let's say you have a 16 CON (+3 bonus) and you get CON drain of 3. Then you drop to 13 CON (+1 bonus). If the drain were 4, then you would still have a +1 bonus. Try this link: [URL="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19867354/Warlock_Handbook&post_num=8"]The Warlock Handbook[/URL] In addition, I'm sure you'll soon get great, specific advice so keep on the lookout.
