[QUOTE="Ovarwa, post: 7007993, member: 75153"] So, Warlock 2 provides great ranged combat. Yay. EB+AB+x FTW. Includes familiar if you reach Tome3. Level 5 in any combination adds an extra attack, and maybe Repelling Blast for Warlock5. The question is what kind of spell backup you want. Warlock has some spells, so you could just continue. Sorcerer has other spells. Bard has still other spells. Note that you don't *need* a level in some other class to represent life before becoming a Warlock: You can use your Background to justify that! So if Warlock4 is what you want, and there are reasons to want it, your concept still works. If you want exactly one non-caster level, I recommend Fighter over Rogue: Con proficiency is popular among casters, +1AC from fighting style never hurts and more hp is cute. Fighter1/Tome3 lets you start with heavy armor too, and possibly a melee option. If you don't expect your game to last beyond level 10, maybe no Sorcerer? With 2 early Warlock levels, you get your Fireball when it is no longer awesome. Or, another way to look at it, at what levels do you want your character to be great? Finally, as mentioned earlier, what happens to your warlock levels when you get your soul back? 3 or 4 dead or lost levels will certainly make your character suck by comparison, so you might as well stay warlock if you want. (Or go paladin :)/32; the Charisma certainly synergizes. Pa1/Tome3/morePaOrTome is very workable.) Anyway, Ken [/QUOTE]
