Message: <blockquote data-quote="Falling Icicle" data-source="post: 2915107" data-attributes="member: 17077">I'm playing a 6th level Human Warlock right now. It's pretty fun. The feats I have are Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Craft Wondrous Item and Empower Spell-Like Ability (Eldritch Blast). The invocations I have are See the Unseen, Eldritch Spear, Beguiling Influence and Fell Flight. In case you're wondering why I got Craft Wondrous Item so early, I plan to make a Chausible of Fell Power, which Warlocks can make at level 6.As for how I seem to do compared to other classes, I'd say that I do fairly well. Certainly far from overpowered. I do less damage than the party Ranger and Barbarian, but I make up for it alot of ways. For one, I have an easy time hitting things (touch attacks) and can do decent damage at range (the Ranger chose TWF for his combat style, so I'm the primary ranged support for the group). The fact that I have no daily limit on spells gives me alot of longevity and flexibility. I have a ring of sustenance so I usually stand watch while the other characters sleep. Since I don't need to rest to get my spells, this is not a problem. It's nice playing a character who is always ready to face challenges, unlike other casters that can run out of spells, need 8 hours of sleep + 1 hour of meditation, etc.Even though Warlocks are technically arcane magic users, they actually play alot more like rogues or archers. I have the best social skills in the group, so I am usually the "face." Use Magic Device greatly increases my versatility. Comapred to Wizards or Sorcerers, Warlocks have pros and cons. Sorcerers have 3-4x as many spells at their disposal, and with all their spells per day, they don't run out often. They can also do alot more damage in alot less time than a Warlock can (and to alot more creatures at once). Does this mean that Warlocks suck? Hardly. Warlocks have more HP, a better BAB, damage reduction, and can use their powers indefinately. Being able to take 10 on UMD checks also greatly expands your options.It's hard to say whether the Warlock class is right for you. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it either, since I usually prefer to play Wizards (I enjoy the challenge and strategy in their spell selection). My main concern was that Warlocks would be boring and repetitive. But that hasn't really been the case. As I said before, think of them more like an archer with lots of cool abilities rather than a really limited spellcaster. I've also enjoyed using more social skills (Beguiling Influence is awesome). Being the "dark hero" has been really fun from a roleplaying aspect.If you want to find out if you'll enjoy playing a Warlock, my advice would be to do what I did - try it out and see for yourself.</blockquote>
