[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 7621153, member: 6906155"] Which is pretty silly give that most characters never make it to 20, and if they do you are talking about the last session in a four year long campaign. It would also require the warlock to take no feats. In the levels that people actually play the warlock will have one or two ASAs. So? a hexblade with pact of the blade will be using Cha, not Dex. It's a bladepact warlock who isn't a hexblade that will want to max dex (and dump cha). [LEFT][COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana] If you dump Cha Agonising Blast and Lifedrinker become pointless, saving you two invocations on the spot. I assume you are also comparing to an Eldritch Blast warlock who doesn't take any of the invocations that add secondary effects to Eldritch Blast, on account of those secondary effects (although far more useful than damage) don't actually add to DPS. [/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT] Which is also pretty silly. The game has three pillars, combat is only one of them, and damage output is only a part of the combat pillar. It doesn't matter how much damage you do if you have zero survivability and can't attack first because everyone else has higher dexterity than you do. [/QUOTE]
