[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9638972, member: 7635"] The line is blurry to say the least. To me, the difference is scale. An optimizer will tell you to take a level of hexblade as a paladin despite the tonal mismatch because the two mechanics synergize so well and the mechanical synergy is more important than the story implications of paladin/warlock. The exploiter reads the letter of the law, not the spirit and decides that warlock and sorcerer can be mixed so that a warlock takes nothing but short rests (including 8 short rests per night because the rules don't say I can't) and keep converting them into spell points for infinite low level magic. Both are abusing the mechanics of the warlock, but one is to a far greater at the amount of abuse it's inflicting. Both are keeping it rules legal though, by because there is no challenge in cheating. [/QUOTE]
