03-10-07, 09:40 AM If a warlock's base attack is high enough to make more than one attack per round, can he use his eldritch blast more than once per round?

What about hideous blow? Does the damage apply to all melee attacks that hit or just one?

Thanks

2) Same - applies to only 1 attack, since you activate and attack with it as part of the same standard action. You might want to use eldritch glaive instead.:)

03-10-07, 11:24 AM Eldritch glaive lets you make a full attack using your EB as touch attacks with 10-ft range.:)

Risky(since the warlock was not designed to be a front-liner), but the payoff can be well worth it.
