I guess I just assumed if he's a fighter and using a non-finesse weapon, he probably has a decent strength, so AC is comparable.Oh definitely. His saves will be a point or two lower in some places and his HP will be a couple behind on average per level (tertiary con). I was just saying he's not super squishy like a wizard. I guess you could lawyer it up that way if you want, but I think the general consensus is the "on a hit" is the main issue, and since it hits multiple times, applies multiple times. The "when you cast" differentiates it from some other method of generating eldritch blast (magic item, scroll, giant robot that shoots eldritch blast). I really feel that eldritch blast and agonizing blast (and Hex) are where a bulk of the warlock's power comes from, so uch that they should have just been class features (maybe allowing bladelock abilities as alternate features). Given their low number of spells, they get quickly reduced to spamming cantrips assuming multiple fights between short rests, and non-eldritch blast cantrip damage really kind of scales poorly.</blockquote>
