[QUOTE="TwoHeadsBarking, post: 4857241, member: 82251"] On a somewhat related note, what about making Dire Radiance work like Eldritch blast, so you can use either Charisma or Con with it. Right now, if you want to go Starlock and not tank your AC, Charisma/Int is the way to go. The Dragon article and AP added enough Charisma-based star powers that you rarely need to go to other pacts (I think there are one or two levels where this is not the case) to get your powers. There's even a single ability Starlock paragon path. But you're still stuck with Dire Radiance as one of your two at-wills. Can't train out of it, and you probably won't ever hit with it since you aren't boosting your Con and it's against Fort. So I hope you like Eldritch Blast. None of the other pacts have to deal with this, since they can all go [primary]/Int. In fact, I don't think that any other class needs to worry about their class feature screwing over their at-wills, assuming intelligent character building. The paladin is in a similar boat, but at least he gets both his at-wills regardless of whether he's going Strength or Charisma. Oh, and you can't do a pure Starlock with Con/Int, in case you're curious. Not enough powers, so you'll constantly be dabbling in Infernal and Vestige. [/QUOTE]
