[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 7034509, member: 31754"] I honestly haven't read the previous 18 pages, but I will throw in how I would run this at my table. By the RAW I think a Warlock can kill a small animal in the morning then take a short rest to get his spell slot back. I don't think this is a huge power boost and it wastes an hour of time in the morning. Odds are if you have the hour to waste you probably aren't going to spend all your spell slots anyway, and if time is pressing that hour might be worth more than the spell slot. But here is where the Warlock would run into problems in my game. Where would he get the small animal to kill? A bag of rats is not going to be a bag of rats for very long. Either the rats are going to escape by eating through the bag, or they are going to kill each other leaving one or maybe two alive that the Warlock can still kill. Then he has a bag of dead rats. And where is he keeping this bag? Which is now full of rat feces, urine, blood and rotting flesh? Where is he keeping his food? Other problems: trying to use stealth and area attacks. So yeah, no bag of rats in my game. But if they are out in the wild I might have a rabbit or squirrel nearby that they can murder. Or maybe a rat in a dungeon. So there will be times when the Warlock won't need a bag of rats. But there will be other days where I tell them there isn't a convenient cute little creature to murder. :) [/QUOTE]
