[QUOTE="satori01, post: 3475025, member: 7859"] I have used the Eldritch Theurge as Villian, very, very effective. In the hands of a powergamer it might be to extreme, being able to blast someone with Eldritch Blast and layer say a Horrid Wilting on top of it is nasty. Powerwise Warlock does not compare to the other classes. Eldritch Blast does not compare to the Divine Might, 2 handed PA, Smite Evil, Bless Weapon Paladin, or the twinked out Machine gun archer....or the Elemental Monolith summoning Druid. Sure the Warlock can theoretically Baleful Polymorph all day long, but Warlock Invocations, and many Warlock Builds do not emphasize the DCs for their powers. Likewise the # of Invocations known are small, deciding wether to augment your Eldritch Blast or taking something great like Flee the Scene is a hard choice. Spamming is not a huge issue assuming you have a responsive player. A Sorcerer with Evard's Tentacles can spam under default conditions most people play with almost as much as a Warlock. The Warlock in my group uses Chilling Tentacles very rarely, because he recognizes that it is not fun for the melee types. Flee the Scene frankly he uses all the time, and I love it as the DM. Impossible escape the Death Star before it blows ups scenarios become possible with it. BTW...you do not need PBS or Precise Shot...Touch Attack...suck up the minus 4. [/QUOTE]
