Is the Hellfire Warlock PrC overpowered?

[Wednesday Boy]

Ah, I see now. Thanks all for the inputs! You ENWorlders (ENWorldites? ENWorldians?) are the best!

 

[cignus_pfaccari]

In our Spelljammer game, I play a whisper gnome gestalt Warlock-Hellfire Warlock-Master Alchemist/Scout. We're in Demon Space, so the DM isn't imposing the Con damage to me.

When running around, I can toss eldritch blasts of 22d6 each (with Improved Skirmish, items, etc). This averages about 77 points. I can quicken that 3x/day, to hit ~154 points/round for three rounds.

Now, that might sound like a lot, and it is, but it (a) doesn't hit the OMGWTFBBQ limit of 200/round and (b) uses very non-standard rules to achieve this.

Either way, investing ranks in Use Magic Device and keeping a wand of lessor restoration handy is a good idea.

Don't forget about the 3 round casting time on Lesser Restoration.

 

[blargney the second]

That's why I prefer potions of lesser restoration (in a potion bracer, ideally).

Or the CON damage healing per round of a Binder1. I plan to play one of these one day for fun.

His dwarven wizard counterpart can unleash several blasting spells per round (Staff Familiar, and/or Belts of Battle, and/or celerity, and/or, Action Surge, etc) for equal or far greater damage on a pretty regular basis. I blame "Arcane Thesis"

Ah, arcane thesis. We like to call it "Overpowered Fireball" and have jokingly considered that this Fireball the only spell the feat works for.

Oh, my. That's rude. Time to revise my character, then...

Anybody got any good warlock/binder PrCs?

[Hammerhead]

There aren't any, sadly. A Warlock/Binder can't even get into Anima Mage. The Binder is really just a dip anyways.

If you don't want to do the 1 lvl binder dip, you could create a prc using the Eldritch Theurge prc from Complete Mage as a basis or use Binder/Arcane caster theurge like prc that I think is in the ToM.

Thanks,
Rich

It's a classic.
