[QUOTE="Naxas, post: 4908155, member: 85077"] I know I am a little late to the conversation but as far as warlocks being broken, they are not unless you try to make them that way which isn't hard, giving them as high dex as posible, a rod of magical precision, a chasuble of fell power, gloves of eldritch admixture, elven chain, ammulet of nat armor, ROP, helm of glorios recovery, gloves of dex, and if posible a fing of freedom of movement for items. combine that with fell flight walk unseen, see the unseen, eldriitch spear,baleful utterance, swimming the styx, flee the scene, and vitrolic blast, for invocations and you are almost imposible to kill in most fights. Also if your DM is anything like me or any of the DM's I have had, practiced spellcasting works the same way as choosing a PRC, so it works just fine. also to those who said a warlock is not a decent NPC villian or that the CR is to low, using the basic options I have above I used a 14th lvl warlock with a 1 ecl for catfolk, so 15 total against 3 PCs of 16th lvl a barbarion, ranger, and a cleric if memory serves me, and the only way they killed it was through divine favor, but the barbarion was lost in the first couple rounds, and the ranger couldn't reach the 250 ft up and still get through the things armor, and clerics spells did next to nothing in the way of damage, I think he had mostly suport spells ready. but that was only like my second time trying to DM, and I gave up after that because I wiped a party of like 6 or 7 with a couple storm giants my first atemp. All that aside a warlock is a very survivable class low damage doesn't matter if you don't die, as a matter of fact the only way one of my warlocks has ever died as a PC is after being grapled, because they are almost helpless in graples (hince the ring of freedom of movement). 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. [/QUOTE]
