SLA & Rage

[Kurashu]

If a warlock was to take levels of barbarian, when he rages would he be able to use Eldritch Blast? The description of rage states no spells or spell completion items but nothing on the lines of Su or Sp abilities.

guessing

Su): Yes in rage. It comes as naturally as throwing a punch.
Sp): No in rage. It is "spell-like".

A warlock could use his spell-like abilities while raging, but since he cannot use the Concentration skill, he could never cast defensively, and anything that would have the slightest chance of disrupting his invocations (bad weather, unstable conditions, damage taken whilst casting, etc.) would automatically do so.

 

[Sejs]

A warlock's invocations are spell-like, provoke an AoO, and you can use the concentration skill to cast defensively, etc.

In a nutshell, they require concentration to bring about just like casting a spell does.

So nope, a barbarian/warlock could not invoke while raging.

Looks like it's time to adjust the Rage Mage PrC just a little bit then. I should probably suggest this PrC to the two Barbarian Arcane Casters (One's a bard (wtf? Yeah I thought that too) the other is a Sorc) I'll be sending this guy after.
