[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 2374650, member: 17296"] Not any more often than a mage, which is where I compare the two. However warlocks have absolutely nothing to get them out of a grapple. All their invocations specifically require somatic components. Including the DDoor one. They've got a weak spots. They have an invocation to turn their blasts to acid, overcoming SR... but of course then they're not using the thing I personally saw as a problem! And what about SR acid resist/immune targets? Even more importantly, how often is he going to encounter one of those? True, only one round. I thought it was compared to a sixth level power, not fourth... hence why they got it as 11th level (when characters are getting access to sixth level spells). I think they've errata'd this. It's considered a first level as a pure EB, or the highest level of the invocation(s) used to alter it. Possible. He'd certainly be more versitile. I woudn't know, I've actually never seen the bard in play. However this character was 12th level and the rest of the party was 13-15, and throught the course of play everyone thought he was "way to powerful". And even I had to agree in the end, although the only real issue I had was the bewitching blast's incredible effectiveness. A cone of mass confusion (even if it's only for one round, it's still every round he attacked) and damage. Anyhow. We also saw the Chilling Tentacles. I thought that they were powerful, but they weren't overly so, if only because the GM tended to find ways to limit the character's ability to use them (no point casting them in area's where the PC's are, etcetera).
