multiclass warlock question

[ethandrul]

Ok so I am now considering a warlock multiclassed into ranger (mainly for stealth)

but my question is can you use hunters quarry with eldrich blast?

... can you use hunters quarry with eldrich blast?

Yes.

I worked up the same build for a gnome fey-pact warlock with the ranger multi-class feat yesterday ironically. I believe that Hunter's Quarry does work with the eldritch blast, as well as nearly all of the warlock's damage dealing spells. Hunter's Quarry doesn't specify the type of weapon or power to use with it (like rogue's Sneak Attack), so its a very good option for multi-classers.

In order to initially activate the hunter's quarry, you're warlock needs to be the closest enemy to you as your quarry (as a minor action once per encounter). Since you have hunter's quarry as a class feature from the warrior of the wild feat, I believe it remains active until the end of the encounter.

The Hunter's Quarry also should stack with Warlock's Curse, which enables you to do an extra +2d6 damage (more with certain ranger feats), on top of your normal spell damage.

Not a bad combo.

You certainly can.

Keep in mind that the hunter's quarry ability gained through multiclassing is supposed to only last until the end of the turn after you use it. But while it is active, it'd certainly work.

What gives you this idea? As far as I can tell it's identical to the regular hunter's quarry aside from the 1/enc restriction.

WOTCMiko had stated that it only lasted for 1 round or another thread (I don't have the link)

Do you have a cite for this? The rules I've read say otherwise.

What rules? The only thing I can find is what's written in the book, and that wording is completely ambiguous. (Specifically, "use" could refer to either placing the effect or getting the extra damage.) By the way, the Paladin's multiclass has the same problem.
