[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 3479951, member: 7211"] I gave you 2 examples and you didn't like either. That wasn't exactly encouraging me to find some more for you to outright dismiss. If you've ever been in a combat that lasts more than 10 rounds, you may have found yourself in a battle the warlock could spam attacks (think lower levels). Similarly, if you were being pursued by small groups of enemies (say through a forest), the ability of the warlock to use his ray attack in each encounter would be [S]spammy[/S] spiffy. Finally if you were thinking of creating a plot mechanic for the BBEG to harnass an obscene amount of energy to <SOMETHING EVIL> then the warlock would certainly look like the prisoner (because wizards, clerics, and druids sleep too much). Again, how many theoretical examples do you need before you agree, or are you just set on being contentious? Humor aside, the warlock's power comes up far more often than a party full of fireballing frogs. :D The execution is clearly what I have a problem with. I never said "[B]The Warlock is more powerful than the Wizard. Look at the obvious Power Creep![/B]". I just said there are situations that are not extraordinarily uncommon in which the Warlock has the power to do things casters typically can't (or couldn't do). Spam energy until his HP is reduced to 0 (god forbid I say 'exhaust' again). [/QUOTE]
