Warlocks being broken?

[kyrand]

then what I didn't even add b4 is my empower spellike ability eldritch blast 3/day which is only 3d6 because the items don't get empowered but you can use them all at once for 34d6.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you could use all three uses of the feat at once. Though, of course, if that's a house-rule, feel free to ignore me.

that is what I thought at first but I was wrong most of the time things like this are limited by the spell level increasing beyond what you could normally cast but as long as the spell level doesn't increase to more than in my case half my hit dice (because that is the biggest I can apply to eldritch blast using spellblast) it is posible, because applying doesn't even cost an action, so 3 at a time is very possible as a matter of fact in one of the official epic insights pages they sugest limmiting this power to once or twice per acquisition of a metamagic feat as a house rule because there is no such rule from wizards

Back on topic the best way to answer the question is the warock broken is to ask this question. Is it broken to have my lvl 3 warlock, lvl 4 warmage, lvl6 eldritch theurge, do a max of 25d6 and most of the time 21d6 or 18d6? you tell me.

This won't work.

You don't meet the prerequisites for Eldritch Theurge until 6th level warlock.

You must be able to cast lesser invocations and warlocks don't get those until 6th level. I know I'm playing a sorcerer/warlock and trying to get to the Prestige Class - I need 4 levels of sorcerer and 6 levels of warlock to meet the prerequisites.

You will lose 4 levels of warlock abilities and 6 of warmage to get there.

You also will need to meet the Knowledge (planes) 8 ranks prequisite. It is a cross class skill for warmage so it depends on the order in which you chose classes as to how many skill points you have to use (and the max ranks and cost at any given time).

According to Complete Mage, pg 57, you only need to be able to use least invocations and your EB needs only do 2d6 damage. So, you would only need to be a 3rd level warlock to qualify.

least invocations looking at the book right now I also took the able learner feat which makes knowledge the planes cost only 1 point even if cross classed and even if not as a cross class you can still bring it to full skill points because of it being a class skill for one class but cost more(example warlock 1st 4 ranks, 2nd 5 ranks 3rd 6 ranks, warmage 1 7 ranks but cost 2 same for the 8th rank [fyi human 14 int plenty to make this work even without able learner]). and yes I loose the abilities, and spells and invocations known for 4 levels of warlock and 3 levels of warmage, but the damage is made up with practiced spell caster, I just have less invocations and lower level spells, only 4 least invocations (extra Invocation feat for eldritc spear) see the unseen, swimming the styx, and baleful utterance, and 2 lesser fell flight and walk unseen. and 3 level 5 warmage spells per day.

Ok, I'm going bonkers here.

I know I've looked at several times and everytime I "saw" lesser, including yesterday.

I look now and I see "least" - I must be having a Donnie Darko moment, or I'm just "old".
