What do you think of the Warlock article?

The article does not reveal a lot of things. So, True Neutral. Wait and see.

I like what I've read, but as I'm not a big warlock fan, I voted neutral.

The warlock is Deadly Girl from the Specials?

I liked the fluff, but that's all it was. I am neutral on the class until I see some rules, some crunch. However, that being said, I like the fluff so far. I just wish I could see more of the rules behind the class's portrayal.

With Regards,

I'm neutral. It seems good for what it is.

If it turns out with most of the dark flavor of the 3E warlock, I think I'd like it a lot more if it was in the DMG, and not taking up space in the PHB. They could put the warlock there, a necromancer, a blackguard, and other classes that are usually more typical of an adventure's villains than its players.

I'm still holding out hope, though, that the 4E warlock has more to it than just the dark stuff.

Shocked. Shocked I am.

I'm pretty sure none of the 4E classes will be restricted to a subset of the available alignments. The different pact-types will make sure a warlock can be of any alignment.

Mechanically, the schtick of warlocks will be similar to their 3E invocations: effects that combine two related 'standard' spell effects and a wider selection of at-will or always-active powers than wizards.

Edit: I think the article was well-written. It certainly contains enough tidbits to cater to many different preferences. I also dig the reasoning that they found it easier to reinvent the warlock class for 4E than other old 'core' classes who carry a lot of baggage with them, because of people's expectations.

True Neutral. I don't feel the article has enough information available for me to judge well.

Same thing here.
