Message: <blockquote data-quote="Torquin Trebuchet" data-source="post: 4285922" data-attributes="member: 66751">Why do you want every star pact power?  The intent is to allow warlock's of all types to take powers from a variety of sources.  If they made star all con, then fey pact warlock's would have no choice but to take all fey powers.  The same problem will arise for infernal if star was all con.  As it stands, a warlock of any type can pick a stat and have a reasonable array of powers.  As a star pact warlock who picks one stat or the other, there will be a couple levels when miss out on a power that gains benefit from the star pact (for example, Frigid Darkness if you've chosen Cha), but there are always going to be other powers of that level that are based on your stat.    If you really do want every star power and nothing else, it's a tough road.  But why do you want that?  Even if you're going for concept, there are more than a few powers of the other pacts that have a "star-like" feel.  On the whole, star does have a  small power selection disadvantage because they need both stats if they always want to pick powers that gain star-pact benefit.  On the other hand, I do think their pact power is a touch better.  Misty Step  is great and can be a lifesaver, but many times you don't need to move and the power is wasted.  Temp hit points are powerful, especially at higher level, but they don't stack, so you get no benefit if you're wracking up a lot of kills but they're taking down the fighter or the mage instead of you.  By contrast, it's hard to think of a situation where getting a bouns to hit isn't a great deal, and the fact that it can stack means that you'll be tearing things up in fights with lots of minions - especially when you're higher level, can curse two people at a time, and can kill large groups with aoe.  A high level star pact warlock could easily mark 4 minions using a minor and a move action, kill them all with a standard, and then get +8 to hit with their daily on the big boss the very next round.There is no maximum to the star pact stacking - +3 is just used as an example in the text.</blockquote>
