[QUOTE="Gwarok, post: 6847882, member: 12249"] Ok, so 9th level warlock, no Eldritch Blast, still good balance of offense, defense, and out of combat utility. Roger that! Taking basic human, +1 to all stats, using a 27 pt buy with max 15 on any score to start with gets me: STR 12, DEX 14, CON 14, INT 9, WIS 14, CHA 16. At 4th and 8th I'll be taking a Feat(Med Armor Prof) and +2 CHA bringing my CHA to 18. Now I am going to incorporate 2 uncommon magic items, which by 9th level I don't think is unreasonable for a character to have. If this is in violation of the rules, please let me know. "Beta" the Warlock.

He's got melee capability, decent AC, in case he loses the magic STR gauntlets his weapon is still finesse and with a 14 DEX he doesn't get too hosed. Gave him the Mithril Armor so he can stealth better, but you can take that away too without costing him too much functionality. He can disguise himself well, has plenty of CHA based skills thanks to [I]Beguiling Influence[/I] in case he needs to scare, lie or persuade someone as the situation demands, minor illusion as that comes in handy now and then. Devil Sight lets him work in dungeons or at night without a telltale light, and also pairs well with his magical darkness ability. Also, decked in half plate, shield and sword the best part is he doesn't even look like a caster for a bit of additional misdirection to would be enemies that don't know better. I could have a lot of fun with this guy. To the OP, what do you think? [/QUOTE]
