Legolas.  lol  Not that I hate Legolas, just Drow seem more suited RPwise to an anti-hero like character.Hideous Blow: Definitely, I mean, unless you play an Eldritch Glaive Reach build(EG isn't in CArc though.  It's in either Dragon Magic of Complete Mage... I don't even know which)Eldritch Spear: I was thinking about using it for my backup ranged too.Baleful Utterance: Isn't this sorta like Sunder?  Which is bad... since you're breaking your loot?Darkness/Devil's Sight: I have 120' passive Darkvision and can cast Darkness once a day as a spell-like ability.  Not sure whether I'd need to do that trick multiple times in a day.Entropic Warding: You mean the meatshields won't be taking the arrows for me!?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  I am pushing 25 AC atm.See the Unseen: Darkvision is handy, but I already have it all the time.  Is the invocation worth it simply for the invisibility seeing?Flee/Fell Flight: I was definitely looking at Fell Flight.  Worst case scenario, if I'm injured or something, I fly above my enemies and just blast from impunity if they are melee-based.  Also allows me to get to hard to reach places.Voidsense: More I think about it, this could be good.Voracious Dispelling: I just like it's ability to shut down a caster before I even get to them.Walk Unseen: I came to the same conclusion too... might be good for getting into a flanking position, but alternatively, I could just fly over their heads too, in all likely hood.Dead Walk: I loved my Necromancer in Diablo II, and haven't played once since.  Thought it might be fun, though no idea how useful it'd be.Eldritch Chain: Looked nice, but since I was primarily melee, didn't think it'd be too useful.Vitriolic is almost a given, really.  No save, no SR?  That means it works on just about everyone, unless they are immune to acid or so far out of your league it's better to just run.  I was looking at Chilling Tentacles... as it's a way for me to do semi-constant damage to a group, and possible trip them up while I'm at it.Devour Magic: It looked pretty fun, I'll admit. I thought my build was pretty good, since my primary weapon relies on a fort save instead of AC(it's a touch attack), and I can use various invocation status effects to pummel their saving throws to enable my to do my work.  I'm guessing my stat build is what made you think I was ranged?This will be my first lock, but I'm looking forward to him.  It seems like my kind of character, lol</blockquote>
