[QUOTE="Anthelios, post: 2080448, member: 25609"] Lots of talk about melee classes and other casters in the thread, but I don't know how much experience you guys have had with warlocks. The biggest breaker has to be the fact that their blasts are touch attacks. Fireball is great, but it gives a save. A second level rogue has a fair chance of being unharmed by a fireball, but not a warlocks blast. Now, the warlock in my game has extended range on his blast, the ability to channel it through a weapon, and flight ( as well as the sight powers ). Now, his typical means of combat are: Fly up into the air if outside, or to the ceilling if inside. Blast, blast again.. With a +5 dex modifer and his BAB, he pretty much cant miss against heavy armored opponents. Now its a a low magic world, and I know that has a effect on it.. but still. Also, hes using a touch attack, so has a chance to crit. Normally critical hits about twice a night ( unless hes up close and personal, using his rapier to really dish out some damage. ) Even a fighter isn't going to hit as often as he is, despite being able to do more damage.
