07-26-07, 10:05 PM I'm making a character, a half-black dragon warlock. Would someone help me understand the eldritch blast? Is it a standard action to use it, where it is used once pre round, or is it an attack action where if I use a full attack, it gets multiple uses per round? Warlock is located in the [I]Complete Arcane[I]. Thanks.

07-26-07, 11:21 PM It is a standard action (unless some invocation specifies otherwise, I am not sure if there are any) and you do not get multiple attacks with it.

07-26-07, 11:32 PM Eldritch Blast is a Spell-Like Ability, and unless otherwise stated, all Spell-Like Abilities are standard actions. Not that difficult.

07-27-07, 01:17 AM If you are using the Eldritch Glaive blast shape, even though you make attack rolls as though taking a full attack action, the invocation specifies that it is still a full-round action.

This means that you cannot combine the use of the Eldritch Glaive blast shape with any feat or special ability that requires you to use a full attack.
