Joachim said:Well, I have recently become enamored by the Warlock class, and I can't figure out if its underpowered and useless or completely broken. Usually I have a very good sense for this sort of thing, especially in recognizing the stinkers. Time for experimentation, as no one in the group has attempted a warlock beyond very low levels. I am trying to prove to myself that it is a playable class in a high-powered combat-heavy game (such as we play), and I will report to y'all when I have sufficient data. Using spell-like abilities at will, even those that are less powerful than wizard spells at comparable levels, it very intriguing.
Gideon was not a very powerful character (he was probably the weakest in the group as it came to sheer combat power), but was a lynchpin in the party because of his superior healing/buffing/mobility. It will be interesting to see how the party adjusts and responds to his absence, which frankly is one of the major reasons that I am not making another cleric. I enjoy, even revel, in playing the healer role...a role that all too often the powergamers and optimizers of the world both ridicule and despise. The party composition will now be:
Dwarven tank (extremely defensive)
Goliath Cleric (melee heavy)
Aasimar Paladin (balanced offense and defense)
Human Marshal/Fighter/Paladin (trip-, disarm-monkey)
Drow Wizard (electricity blaster)
Fire Genasi Wizard (fire blaster)
Human Rogue (ranged build)
Now, Human Warlock (eldritch blast concentration)
Should be interesting.
Will you be continuing the X-Men/Marvel theme for new characters? If so, what's everybody's moniker now? Also, I like that you're calling wizards blasters. I'm guessing you're a City of Heroes fan?
