[QUOTE="Wyrd_One, post: 6368968, member: 6779225"] [b]Warlock Questions[/b] Ouch, that's how the spell slots work? I guess I misread the section. I was looking at it like you have one 1st level spell slot at level one, then you get two more 1st level slots at level two, two 2nd level slots at level three, and so on. So that does seem like a huge restriction. Two spells at level 10? They're both cast at level 5, but a level 10 wizard has those same two 5th level spells, plus three 4th, three 3rd, three 2nd, and four 1st level spells on top of that. I guess it comes down to how often you take short rests. The warlock gets his 2 slots back, while the Wizard gets 5 spell levels worth of slots back, at least for the first rest. On a different note, has anyone tried a Fighter/Warlock that takes pact of the blade? The "casting in armor" section suggests if you have proficiency in the armor you can cast in it, so a Fighter could take some heavy armor, a nice martial weapon, and then level into Warlock at second level and continue using those items without hindering their spell-casting abilities at all. If you're goign to take pact of the blade it might as well be with a big two-handed weapon you get to reroll all 1's and 2's on for damage. And at level 5 you can take the invocation that gives you two attacks, just like a fighter gets naturally. Seems like it could be a fun alternative to the Eldritch Knight in terms of a melee caster. And one more question. I'm assuming they mean Warlock levels, but the prerequisites for a lot of the Invocations simply say "Level 5". Do they mean Character level 5, or Warlock level 5? I didn't see it specifically say only Warlock levels apply anywhere. So could my level fighter 1/warlock 4 take the invocation that gives two attacks with their pact blade? [/QUOTE]
