[QUOTE="Daedrova, post: 3629208, member: 11835"] For a battle between just four 3rd level combatants, I don’t see that just doing moderate damage (2d6) a round albeit continually would be all that powerful. A Barbarian or Fighter will out damage you (greatsword plus Str and 1/2, and have more hp, etc. and can easily make up for deficits with potions himself. How well would Sickening Blast actually work? (I don’t have access to Warlock rules) Specifically compare to Scorching ray doing 4d6 each round. And Evoker with 14 Int can do this three times himself before having to use a scroll or wand. Make Dex as high as possible of course for the ranged touch attack; and perhaps Weapon Focus – Ranged Touch. I don’t see many other feats being crucial; but the greater probability of acting first by taking Improved Init seems worthwhile. (I completely agree that taking potions/scrolls of mirror image, cure, etc. are vital for survivability) Will you be using point buy? You said “good ability scores” but “three 13s and 10s” is pretty weak. Can you get exact scores? That will definitely help determine what you can do. Also, will your DM allow you to purchase a wand with fewer charges at a proportionately lower cost? Do you know what kind of “arena” this will be in? Will characters know they are going into combat and be aware of each other’s presence? Will they start a certain distance from one another? [/QUOTE]
