[QUOTE="Cryptos, post: 4285944, member: 58439"] For the couple of Star Pact characters I was working on, the pact's powers made the most sense. And going strictly by the rulebook, for At-Will powers you only get your Pact's at-will and the Eldritch Blast. You can do CON on both of them, but then the Star Pact's encounter and daily are CHA. So you're either avoiding half your own pact's powers at 1st level, or you're accepting a lower bonus, probably in your per encounter and daily power. So, based on what you're saying, for someone that wants to stay within their pact, the Fey Warlock turns out great and the Infernal Warlock turns out great. For someone that wants to dabble, everyone turns out great. But for the benefit of the Fey and Infernal dabblers, the Star Pact warlock purist - and only the Star Pact Warlock - has to pay the price. That doesn't seem right to me. If it was to be to the benefit of those dipping into the other pact's powers, shouldn't it be that way for all the pacts? Or make the flavor on all of them more generic and make half the powers CON, half the powers CHA, and completely pact neutral? [/QUOTE]
