[QUOTE="Rath Lorien, post: 1932014, member: 15812"] I am building a melee-Warlock. Fighter[1]Warlock[1+]. The fighter gives me heavy armor. Add two Battlecaster feats from the CA and you can dish out your Warlock invocations without arcane spell failure while in heavy armor. If you take 2-H sword instead of hammer you get 19-20 threat range (and the Eldritch Blast damage doubles with the crit along with the weapon damage). Or take a Falchion and get 18-20 threat range. Get a keen weapon and/or Improved Critical feat and increase the threat range even further. With Hideous Blow you cannot take a full attack action so you will never get multiple attacks in conjuctions with your Hideous Blow. However this give you other options such as using Improved Feint to get around DEX bonus (you have high CHA and bluff as a class skill). As has been mentioned elsewhere you cannot take Spring Attack as the Spring Attack only works with "attack actions" and the Hideous Blow is a "standard action" but a nice DM might relax this technicality. The way I see it, hit points will be the biggest limiting factor. Any other ideas out there? [/QUOTE]
