Races & Classes details from the WotC boards

Are we certain that the Star Warlock is up to date? When was the information in this book finalized, compared to when WOTC last released information about the Warlock?

I don't know enough about WOTC's policies to know whether they'd tease us by mentioning only some of the types of warlocks, then actually writing more.

The book was finished in August. The warlock article was October, so it seems like it may have changed to just three choices for pacts.

...it seems like it may have changed to just three choices for pacts.

Just as well, considering where Star Warlocks derive their power:

 

[Ahglock]

Granted, you have to run around collecting stars to place in the Star Pocket of your sentient talking Backpack of Holding.

Some would say my greatest flaw is collecting to many stars, I'm tenacious .

They may have decided to keep one of the sources of pacts back to release in a future supplement. Or maybe they combined the stars and vestiges pacts.

I like the idea of astology or star magic, but it fits much more with the scholarly wizard than with the pact-and-deal warlock IMHO.

It makes more sense for them to hold back Vestiges and Stars for later---their potential as 'power sources' seems untapped.

 

[Remathilis]

Did anyone else read "Stars" and see "Far Realm"?

Just me?

Good info on rogues though!

Wait, no. I mean .

Huh? Darn kids and your mp3 video games.

Unless you think of "stars" in terms of Cthulhu-type "dark old ones that dwell in the stars beyond" type thing.

That's how I read it.

And I'm not even a Lovecraft fan
