Grab the tentacle power, and vitriolic blast, and the various swarm abilities-- Dark Discoporation and the one that allows you to summon swarms. Change the flavor of them-- describe them as horrible, floating worms that swell with blood after biting.

Pick up the curse ability.

Warlock's core ability isn't called "Eldritch Blast" for nothing.

You can also go Sorceror-- or even Druid-- and focus on similar types of spells, before becoming an Alienist. (Though losing Wisdom hurts for a Druid-- if you go Druid, see if you can lose Charisma instead.)

Wilder's another good choice, since they draw psionic power from extreme mental states.

09-26-05, 09:42 AM In the "touched by madness" article from Dragon #332, there's a Warlock Invocation specifically for Xoriot/FarRealm influenced warlocks.

Also, in Iss #330, there's a couple feats that allow you to become a Far Realm Cerebrist specialist caster (it's not just for wizards anymore :P ) with access to Far Realm spells, feats, and "magical" items.
