Axle_Steelcat 01-21-05, 01:35 PM	Eldritch blast can already be used UNLIMITED times per day. What more do you want? There's also an item (Rod or Staff and Necklace) in CA that gives E.Blast more dice. The rod is limited to a total of 5d6 extra per day though. The necklace gives either 1d6 or 2d6 more all day, depending on its size.
webgear68 01-21-05, 01:42 PM	i thought i read something wrong so tell me if this is right. hideous blow my understanding id u can channel a eldritch blast thru a sword so u could do 9d6 on a sword attack at 2oth level. and with it being unlimited u could do that every hit?
Betrayer of Hope 01-21-05, 01:45 PM	Yes, but. Eldritch blast is a standard action (as is hideous blow). So yes, you can use Hideous Blow to tack 9d6 damage onto your attack, but you can only perform one attack per round (you can't use your iterative attacks).
webgear68 01-21-05, 01:48 PM	could quicken spell-like abilty shorten this down to a free action and a standard
lostone 01-21-05, 01:49 PM	You could do that with one hit per round. You'd only get one attack per round since casting the eldritch blast and attacking with hideous blow is a standard action. But you might want to reread (or read more thoroughly) the Warlock. All their Invocations are unlimited times per day, which is why they are so limited on how many they know (only 12 at level 20, whereas sorcerers know something like 6 per spell level). Warlocks are focused, but are powerful at what they focus on.
webgear68 01-21-05, 01:56 PM	yeah what im trying to do is make a gish from warlock class the build is this 1 warlock/ 1warlock/ 1 swashbuckler 19 warlock / 1 swashbuckler feats include combat casting, weapon finesse, extra finesse, power attack, improved critical, extra invocation, slip, quicken spell-like ability extra finesse lets u use dex as your damage feats are not in order any ideas as to a better way to do this
lostone 01-21-05, 02:10 PM	for one melee attack per round I don't know that it's really worth it to hideous blow. And with quicken spell-like ability IIRC you get three quickened blasts a day. So that's only three rounds a day you could take a full attack with multiple melee attacks and add in the eldritch blast. I don't claim to be great at optimizing, but I just don't think this will be a very good gish build. AFAIK so far no one has come up with a good gish build for warlock.
carnivore 01-21-05, 02:21 PM	try this variant on the Dark Chameleon: The Dark Chameleon Gish ranger1/ swashbuckler 3/ Warlock 8/ Chameleon 8 +16 BAB 4d6 Eldrich Blast DR, Fast Heal 1 cast 5th lvl Arcane spls cast 5th lvl Divine spls Caster lvl 20th (with practiced caster) take 10 on UMD :D
lostone 01-21-05, 02:35 PM	Caster lvl 20th (with practiced caster) How is that achieved? I haven't looked at chameleon too closely and can't remember practiced spellcaster (I'm at work, no books).
carnivore 01-21-05, 02:38 PM	i have a link to Chameleon in my sig,.......double your Chameleon level to get caster lvl. so 8x2= 16th lvl caster + 4(practiced caster)= 20th :D
