[QUOTE="abirdcall, post: 7298669, member: 6748898"] There is nothing to fix. MM: Fire Reisstance: 37 Immunity: 40 Vulnerability: 9 Most of those are fiends which aren't resistant to Necrotic (and probably don't want to be using many cantrips against anyway). It's easy to replace Create Bonfire with something else if the Warlock is worried about fire resistance/immunity. Heck they could even take Eldritch Blast as a back up if they really want to which is different than being 'reliant' on it. (Fire also has the biggest vulnerability list of all types, though Radiant probably has the best added riders against certain creatures) Necrotic Resistance: 11 Immunity: 11 Vulnerability: 0 I don't consider 22 out of 337 to be 'many'. The d12 versus d10 makes up for it in the majority of encounters. Ultimately the biggest factor here is AC (plus cover) vs Wisdom (and Dex if we are using Create Bonfire). Also, Eldritch Blast is terrible when enemies reach the Warlock while the other cantrips are just fine (and Create Bonfire will even protect the Warlock). It costs an invocation. Those also cost invocations. There are other invocations. Combats aren't won with cantrips. Spellcaster's contribution to the party is not their cantrips. If you waste all of your invocations on cantrip buffing then of course you're going to feel this way. I think the primary disconnect here is undervaluing the non-EB invocations and overvaluing the role of cantrips in battle. Also, the easiest way to have a Warlock not rely on Eldritch Blast if those cantrips above aren't enough for you is to take the Tome Pact and take cantrips with good riders likely to help out the party more than just a point of damage or two.
