[QUOTE="Nemesis Destiny, post: 5393608, member: 98255"] My first 4e character was a Warlock. I ended up going with 16 in Cha and Con because the book suggested that I might want to. The extra hit points and healing surges were nice to have but that was bad advice. The entire Warlock class... it's just a mess of counter-intuitive design choices. Never should have made it past playtesting like that (along with Cleric, Paladin, and to a lesser extent, Ranger). That said, I did enjoy playing her, even if she did end up [I]sucking[/I] as a striker (Feylock). Fortunately, our party also had a wonderful Goblin Ranger MC Rogue to take up the slack in damage output. I further the suggestion to multiclass to get access to the skill you want. Skill Training feels like a ripoff when there are so many other good ways to get training for the cost of a feat. My example character ended up taking the wizard MC for both training in Nature and Ritual Caster. [/QUOTE]
