We have a lvl 20 human Warlock in my party who wants to become a Dragon Disciple. He has maxed his Knowledge (Arcana) ranks, he knows the Draconic language, but the PrC states that to qualify you must be able to cast spells without preparation. Do his invocations count as such? If he does become one, will he gain more invocations as he advances as a Dragon Disciple? Please enlighten me...!:confused:

I'm not sure, but I'm inclined to say no, sadly, due to this:
Spellcasting
Ability to cast arcane spells without preparation.

Regardless, the player is foolish to give up the bonus feats in EPIC. An EPIC Warlock's feats are quite awesome. Really, they are almost as good as actual 9th level spells.

The Warlock can qualify, but it needs this prestige class first:

Technically, no. However, the DM (you) allowing them to qualify regardless of that rule would not be unbalanced or illogical in the least, as long as he's role-played some kind of dragon heritage beforehand.

Sorry, since I am clueless about the Epic Warlock feats, could you guys, please, provide me with some feedback? I would like to compare it to the progress of the Dragon Disciple PrC. Thank you in advance, anyway!:)
