[QUOTE="green_destiny, post: 6545595, member: 6785408"] In relation on the topic on what kind of "power" did the Warlock get, if they have limited spell slots... Warlocks really have a limited spell casting slot but the that trade off was to "compensate" and have access to: * Pacts (Tome (chance to master all rituals across classes), Blade (melee caster) and Chain (access to above average familiars - that can turn invisible, scare enemies, can speak, perception bonus etc.)) * Invocations - many of invocations abilities are spells in other classes but for a Warlock they are cast AT-WILL and they can swap unlearn and learn new invocations per level. They do provide good combos to other spells too. * Eldritch Blast - probably one of the the greatest offensive cantrip and it scales well through levels (additional beams). * Warlock Spell Slots - refreshes every short rest. Sure they're not guaranteed but if they get to have short rests then it raises their combat/utility efficiency. PS. Warlocks do have access to Level 6-9 spells too. In relation to can Warlocks be good guys? Well for my character being a warlock is a curse on their lineage. They had a great Cleric ancestor that tricked a arch devil to know its 'true' name. In exchange for not spreading its true name, the arch devil gave favors to the Cleric and they had an agreement that every first born of every 7th generation of the Cleric will have access to the arch devil's power. The Arch-devil agrees to this in the hope that he can tempt his descendants to be his follower. To make sure that Arch-devil will keep his promise, it's true name is passed too to every 'cursed' Warlock in their lineage. In a defining event, my character unlocked his 'power'. So basically my warlock is not evil by choice (fights evil too as he sees fit), but the arch-devil can coerce him to do evil deeds. [/QUOTE]
