[QUOTE="SolitonMan, post: 5021860, member: 22433"] I think the advice here has been very good so far. I personally like mobility in my warlock, so I took spiderwalk and eldritch spear as my least invocations, along with see the unseen (sooo useful to have darkvision). If you're going to go with the Hideous Blow invocation, then you should probably focus on a more melee-heavy build. Which, with your ability scores as presented, is probably not going to work very well, I'm sorry to say. The warlock I'm currently running is 16th level, and the way he resists damage is by doing his best not to take any. Fell Flight and Flee the Scene are paramount in this scenario. Flying is just awesome in a D&D game, I can't stress enough how important such mobility can be, especially for a ranged artillery guy, which is where the warlock can do best. If you were looking to take the militant route, then I'd say that you might want to speak with your DM and see if you can rebuild the character with such a focus. I'd go with Eldritch Glaive from Dragon Magic (touch attacks with a reach weapon that damages as an eldritch blast, plus multiple attacks for high BAB), high dex, Combat Reflexes, and maybe the feat Battlecaster, so you can use medium armor without suffering arcane spell failure chance. Sorry to ramble, I really only meant to come in and post a link to the WotC character optimization board thread on warlocks: [url=http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19871406/Warlock_Information_Compilation?num=10&pg=1]Warlock Guide[/url] It's very comprehensive, although there's a lot to wade through. I hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
