[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 3540766, member: 16285"] Alright I finally looked up Eldritch Glaive and I don't think you could do what you did. Haste gives an extra attack when using the full attack action: Eldritch Glaive is a full round action that lets you make multiple attacks - it is not a full attack action. It is a spell-like ability and thus doesn't qualify for the full-attack action designator. Unless you somehow multi-classed, a warlock will not get more than 3 attacks per round based on BAB (+15/+10/+5). Epic progression specifically does not increase BAB. I also don't think you should be able to use the Warlock Sceptor and the Eldritch Glaive at the same time. The sceptor must be held (it is a light mace) and the glaive is a reach weapon (the weapon description in the PHB makes it a 2 handed weapon). Now, Dragon Magic does not state the glaive is "exactly like" the glaive only that it is shaped like it and is a reach weapon. So that part is my opinion - that the weapon must be wielded with two hands and not one hand. Also your damage was calculated incorreclty: A 23rd level warlcok does 10d6 + the extra from the scepter +4d6 = 14d6 not 16d6. Check the errata - the epic warlock example damage is incorrect. Th text says it is +1d6 for even level after level 20 and a 20th level warlock has 9d6 damage As far as the extra damage applying to all hits. Well it looks like technically that is true, but I don't think the WS was designed to be used that way and I'm not real found of the way EG is written - man it is just flat out too powerful IMO even if the warlock must be within 10 feet to use it.
