[QUOTE="SailorNash, post: 6876444, member: 6788401"] That's exactly what happens though. The party retreats when their resources are expended. They may have burned through these too quickly, and in theory should be left plinking away with cantrips for the remainder of the day's 6-8 battles. But unless there's a time constraint the majority votes to fall back. If the short-resters were to push them onward knowing they're spent, they'd be risking character death or possibly TPK. There's less punishment for those who overexert themselves, but is risk to go onward when your teammates can't. But wouldn't that still be broken though? EB is broken by being so obscenely good, that the remaining 17-18 levels (the majority of the class) therefore has to be fairly weak to balance. Overall the Warlock 20 can do reliable damage, but the "fun factor" isn't there because it all comes from one singular ability. That's what needs to be redesigned - more fun, more options, less constant EB spam and more incentive to go further than three levels. [/QUOTE]
