Warlock Abuse?

[Road_Runner]

So I was wondering if this was legal...

1) Warlock casts retributive invisibility
2)Warlock casts devour magic on himself: retributive invisibility is dispelled, creating a shockwave that does 4d6 damage and stuns, Warlock gains 30 temporary hp from devouring the spell.
3)Rinse and Repeat
4)???
5)Profit!

Notice the part of Devour Magic where it states that you cannot devour your own invocations?

 

[Road_Runner]

Oops.... I kind of missed that part

What you can do, however, is stack about 50 Retributive Invisibility on yourself at the same time, then dispel them all with a targeted Dispel Magic from, say, Relentless Dispelling.

So... is that legal? You can really do that?

...not that I would ever do that (hehe)

I'd say this is one of those cases where it doesn't really matter if it is legal or not. Just ask your DM if it's okay with him.

I would rule it out. Isn't casting another retributive invisibility upon yourself breaking the previous one? If not, I would rule out stacking anyway.

I don't recall if there is any benefit to stacking the powers. Can you cast invisibility twice on one character (the spell for comparison purposes)?

If there is a benefit it could be looked at, but really shouldn't let your players nerf the rules and take advantage of you (wow, that sounded condescending...)

Alternatively, let the little munchkin stack 50 of the same invocation on himself. Then hit him with Reciprocal Gyre.
