Then we go in and kill them.  He orders them around in battle too (at least until he attacks).  Rinse and repeat.  He is a Warlock and I think it is far more effective than if he took the ASI or really any other feat I can think of.Is it  kind of cheesy spamming it like this?  Yeah kind of, but so is GWM or SS or any other combat-related feat.</blockquote>
