[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7803029, member: 6779196"] I once played as a Warlock in a party with a Wizard, a Cleric, a Druid, and a Sorcerer. Our Cleric’s player once commented that every non-combat challenge felt like we were all “whipping out our spell d***s” to see who’s was bigger. I had a Rod of the Pact Keeper and a feature from a campaign-specific background that gave me an extra Warlock spell slot, so I effectively had 4 spell slots per short rest, but we basically never took short rests. We also usually only had one or two encounters between long rests, or on rare occasion three, so none of my four full-casting allies ever ran out of spell slots. I never felt like I was under-performing. On the contrary, with Eldritch blast, agonizing blast, repelling blast, the one Invocation from XGtE that lets you pull a target 10 feet when you hit them with EB, and a decent number of area-denial spells like Evard’s Black Tenticles, I was the master of single-target DPR and tactical battlefield control. Meanwhile our Wizard had a bajillion zombies, our Sorcerer did incredible AoE damage, and between our cleric and our Druid no one was ever left wanting for hit points. [/QUOTE]
