[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 2707147, member: 27957"] First, do be aware that Warlocks don't really get good at mass battles until they get Greater Invocations at 11th level. At which point they get very good, but until then they're best at sniping and hexing. 1: Human. Warlocks are feat dependent and skill starved. The human bonuses help a great deal. 2: At 1st level, Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot. You'll be firing into melee a lot and even with a touch attack the -4 penalty can hurt. Later on look into Maximize SLA, Sudden Still, and Extra Invocation. 3: Not really. Warlocks get enough class features that they're more like Druids or Monks. A PrC isn't a big step up for them. Plus there's very little selection. 4: Depends on the style. A social type need Beguiling Influance. Spiderwalk is good for staying out of reach of trouble. Eldritch Spear will let you fight from well to the rear of the battle. And everyone loves Baleful Utterance. 5: I'm playing one and I'm enjoying myself. They're not a caster and they'll never have a caster's power or flexability. But if you're not looking for that they're a great class for a magical fighter. [/QUOTE]
