[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 3152464, member: 478"] I've played a 25-PB Warlock from 1st to, well, 16th, though there was a little jump from 11th straight to 15th involved. Anyways, I also liked PBS/PS, it's about the biggest must-have to get the most out of the [i]Eldritch Blast[/i]. Ability Focus ([i]Eldritch Blast[/i]) is also nice. Sudden Still could be an option later, especially if you pick up [i]Flee the Scene[/i], since you are able to escape a grapple then 1/day. Extra Invocation is also a good thing. I also like Empower or Maximize and Quicken Spell-Like Ability for the [i]Eldritch Blast[/i], but you need to be aware, that those do not combine well with most eldritch essences and blast shapes, because of the raised spell level equivalent. Craft feats are also very useful, especially once you reach 12th level. As for invocations, that depends a lot on the campaign. I ended up with the following by 15h level: [b]Invocations:[/b] As 15th-level warlock [i]Warlock Invocations Known (save DC 14 + spell level equivalent):[/i] [i]Least - Beguiling Influence (2nd), See the Unseen (2nd), Dark One's Own Luck (2nd);[/i] [i]Lesser - Charm (4th), Flee the Scene (4th), Eldritch Chain (4th);[/i] [i]Greater - Chilling Tentacles (5th), Noxious Blast (6th), Repelling Blast (6th).[/i] Also had [i]Frightful Blast[/i] early on but swapped that out later, when it was no longer useful, and tried [i]Stony Grasp[/i] for a while, which was not too bad either, but it is somewhat limited. [i]Eldritch Spear[/i] can be good, if you often find your 60 ft. range lacking. [i]Spiderwalk[/i] is very useful early on. [i]Fell Flight[/i] is good, naturally, though I prefer [i]Flee the Scene[/i] (and you likely won't get both). [i]Walk Unseen[/i] was also a strong contender, invisibility is just nifty. [i]The Dead Walk[/i] can be quite powerful, if raising undead fits into the party, that is. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
