D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Warlock Feats...precise shot etc

[Dannyalcatraz]

Also, if I make my race an elan or xeph (or any other race from the psionic handbook), i automatically get ONE point...would that be exceptable? or I would still have to get the Wild Talent Feat?

That would do it!

How can precise shot work for it, but not rapid shot? I just don't understand if they both say ranged attack...how can i tell rapid shot doesn't work?

How about the "You must use the full attack action to use this feat." Using Eldritch blast is a spell like ability, those use a standard action to activate, not an attack action / Full round attack action. You'll never have the opportunity to combine the two.

As Empirate mentioned, the Quicken Spell like ability feat does help with this. Do note the errata for the warlock, since adding fancy stuff to the blast does sometimes raise the caster level of said blast. A vanilla blast would be fine to quicken, a gussied up one might not be.


Quicken Spell-Like Ability [General]
Prerequisite

Spell-like ability at caster level 10th or higher.
Benefit

Choose one of the creature’s spell-like abilities, subject to the restrictions described below. The creature can use that ability as a quickened spell-like ability three times per day (or less, if the ability is normally usable only once or twice per day).

Using a quickened spell-like ability is a free action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. The creature can perform another action—including the use of another spell-like ability—in the same round that it uses a quickened spell-like ability. The creature may use only one quickened spell-like ability per round.

The creature can only select a spell-like ability duplicating a spell with a level less than or equal to half its caster level (round down) -4. For a summary, see the associated table.

0th Spell Level ~ 8th Caster Level to Quicken
1st Spell Level ~ 10th Caster Level to Quicken
2nd Spell Level ~ 12th Caster Level to Quicken
3rd Spell Level ~ 14th Caster Level to Quicken
4th Spell Level ~ 16th Caster Level to Quicken
5th Spell Level ~ 18th Caster Level to Quicken
6th Spell Level ~ 20th Caster Level to Quicken

In addition, a spell-like ability that duplicates a spell with a casting time greater than 1 full round cannot be quickened.

Normal
Normally the use of a spell-like ability requires a standard action and provokes an attack of opportunity unless noted otherwise.

Special
This feat can be taken multiple times. Each time it is taken, the creature can apply it to a different one of its spell-like abilities.

Ok, so heres the conclusion i guess, to making my lvl 9 Warlock a good blaster:

race Xeph (for being psionic, AND giving me a +2 dex AND not making me an extra level or two higher)

Feats:

1. Point Blank shot (PreReq for future feats)
2. Psionic meditation (so i can do a psionic focus and attack afterwards)
3. Psionic shot...
4. Greater Psionic Shot (for 4d6 (if i can roll a 4 or higher on a D20 for my psionic focus concentration check) added to my already 5d6)

Now, i do like the Metamagic SLA stuff, and the mortal bane, the only bad thing is that they have a limit. When my character gets higher, then ill pick those, but as for now, this seems more solid.

Invos:

1. Eldritch Chain
2. Brimstone Blast (to catch them on fire (2d6 a round))
3. Eldritch Spear (for super far snip shot)
4. Hidious blow (so if they move next to me i can melee em with my weapon AND EB damage)
5. Walk unseen (maybe) (to go invis)

Now picking my INVOS were pretty hard. Im for sure keeping number 1. I'm pretty confident with number 2.

I like having number 3 as well, but i might change that to Fell Flight So i can fly around while invisible.

Now, many people HATE hideous blow. The only reason i picked that, and not Eldritch Glaive is becuase i'm not sure if you get 2 melee attacks (BAB of 6/1 or higher) with EG. If you do, then ill change it to that.

 

[Sekhmet]

You can full attack with Eldritch Glaive. It effectively creates a Glaive in your hands that you use a reach weapon for the remainder of the round (including AoO's from enemies entering your threatened range).

Hideous Blow provokes AoO's when you use it.

 

[Eman Resu]

how many eld blst can you fire off per round when you get to BAB of 6/1 or higher? This may answer your question because if Im not mistaken Warlocks may never fire off more than 1 EB per round, period.

although the quicken spell like ability...?

[Knak12]

yeah, i looked around and asked SO many different ways if EB can be fired more than once a round. there is no way...except for quicken SPA...so ur right about that.

but i wont be able to buff it much if i do (still not bad anyways, just saying). The only problem is i get to do it only 3 times a day. If im in a big fight or a long dungen or wat ev...only 3 times...id have to save it for the boss or something. But with the psionic thing, theres an 85% chance after EVERY EB blast (if i don't move that is) to do an extra 4d6 damage.

but i still do want qucken SPA...maybe at lvl 12 ill get it, but as of now, being lvl 9, not yet...

as for Eldritch Glaive...thats awesome. And when you say 'reach', you mean 10ft right? because that would be AMAZING, and thered be NO reason not to make it mine (its still awesome if it is only 5 feat).

 

[Sekhmet]

EBs are Standard Actions. If you can acquire more than one standard action per round, you can fire more than one EB per round.

 

[Knak12]

i thought the only way to do that is getting homebrew type stuff. I want mine to be legit, and something I can show my DM instead of letting him take my "word" for it. He is the most experienced player in our group, but he, too, is fairly new.

 

[Eman Resu]

a 20th level warlock can fire 1 EB a round.
yes applying the psi shot for an additional 4d6 is a good thing but if you avg it out its +12 damage on avg to each EB so at this level it will be 9d6 so 27 h pts per shot 1x round but that going to cost you a move equivelant and thats with psi med feat

 

[Sekhmet]

as for Eldritch Glaive...thats awesome. And when you say 'reach', you mean 10ft right? because that would be AMAZING, and thered be NO reason not to make it mine (its still awesome if it is only 5 feat).

10 foot. Of course, if you don't build your warlock to that end, it's a bad idea to ever get into a melee anyway.

Whatever their flight spell is called + Chilling Tentacles/Caustic Web + Utterdark Blast Eldritch Doom.
