[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 6659898, member: 1457"] I think even a single level in a primary-casting class is a huge, huge boost for the Warlock. For example, Bard. Cha-based class. A one-level dip adds 2 cantrips and 2 1st level spell slots. And, crucially, 4 spells known. Bard has some TERRIFIC spells for a Warlock. Like Healing Word, Sleep, Dissonant Whispers, Bane, Charm Person, and Unseen Servant. The level 1 slots from Bard can be used for one of the Warlock's good-but-not-worth-a-high-level-slot 1st level spells, or to cast any of the 4 bard spells. And those 4 bard spells can be very powerful when cast using one of the warlock's max-level slots. Sleep cast with a 5th level slot is an incredibly powerful spell. 13d8 vs the target's [U]current[/U] hitpoints; you roll higher, target goes night-night for one minute--with no save. It's a killer closer for round 2. Anyway. High-level Warlock seems just fine. But it's way, way better with a single level dip. [/QUOTE]
