[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 4773692, member: 4936"] [I]I've playtested supernatural invocations with a couple groups. Unlike spells, there's a lot less sources to draw broken powers from, hence it's not overpowered, so I'm sure.[/I] -- That is a good point. Excellent! [I]As far as Fey Skin - Don't know why I didn't suggest that one.. heck, I've used it on several warlocks. (Including one of the NPCs in this ga.. er disregard that...)[/I] -- Hehe, Sigil's original build used Fey Skin, and she had DR 9/cold iron...which I was very happy with. But I wound up needing all those feats for Extra Invocations, so I could qualify for Eldritch Sculptor (essential for epic warlocks) as early as possible. That said, it might be one of the few nonepic feats worth epic slots for, since she doesn't have the Con for the Damage Reduction epic feat. [I]As far as not needing Vitriolic - Ignoring SR aint all its good for. Sometimes, it's useful to have acid.
