[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 4520814, member: 1956"] I don't think so. By level 1-3. They are very good archers. Level 4+. Now they can use any spell trigger items (likely to automatically hit 20 with UMD). level 10+. By this level Eldritch Chain + Eldritch Essence is becoming really effective attack. Don't underestimate the effectiveness of Beshadowed Blast & Brimstone Blast. Level 11+. Now you can start to ignore SR with Vitriolic Blast. Or can use Chilling Tentacles, the upgraded version of nasty Evard's Black Tentacles infinite times/day. Level 12+. Now, Warlocks start to create tons of scrolls. From all the spell lists in the game. Or other items. You know, a CG warlock can create Holy Avenger and can use it by himself! (Though he needs martial weapon proficiency. But it can be covered by, say, using a scroll of Tensor's Transformation). Level 16+. Now now. Some of the Dark Invocations are REALLY nasty. Chained Utterdark Blast is so nasty. Binding Blast (Dragon Magic) may let a Warlock play one-side game. And, don't underestimate the power of Quicken Spell-Like Ability (Eldritch Blast) and Empower Spell-Like Ability (Eldritch Blast) in one-shot encounter. Warlock BBEG is nasty enough. [/QUOTE]
