12-12-04, 04:12 AM I was wondering in general, what would be a good optimization for a Shade templated human warlock? I've been thinking about making one, since they have such... cohesive abilities? Just a general discussion is fine :) thanks guys! I'll throw in my two cents.. once i have it!

12-12-04, 08:32 AM I think a shade would work well if you pursued either a Telflamm Shadowlord or an Arcane Trickster. All those spell like abilities combined with movement and defensives combinations could be really handy. The Telflamm if combined with the warlock can use the full attack action every time the warlock uses flee the scene to dimension door. If you quicken it, he could probably do it twice. The arcane trickster provides for excellent sneaks with the blast and also good skills.
If you want to pursue and even darker combo, the stuff from the complete arcane like blood magus and acolyte of the skin are flavorful, but I think the above combos are cooler.

The AT may actually be persuable now with the Shade template as well, since the warlocks abilities don't allow him to qualify. The Shade's DD-like ability, however, would allow him to... hmmm. a viable warlock/AT!
