Ok... not shure that this is the right spot to post this, but here it goes.



Could someone please explain eldritch blast to me? i understand the damage rolls, the touch part(and the rules of ranged attacks), but what i want to know is if feats like weapon focus, rapid shot, or point blank shot work on the blast, and if i have more then 1 attack due to my BAB do i get to cast more then one blast?

weapon focus
Yes
rapid shot,
No.
or point blank shot work on the blast
Yes.

and if i have more then 1 attack due to my BAB do i get to cast more then one blast?
No.

I suggest you read the general write-up on Spell-Like Abilities, and then ask us what remains unclear.

You CAN make a fullattack with your eldritch blast, but only using the Eldritch Glaive blast shape, and in that case you can only attack enemies within 10 ft of yourself. You can make AoO's with the glaive too...

No, you cannot make a full attack with your Eldritch Blast.
Eldritch Glaive
does not allow you to make a full attack. It only allows you to make extra attacks as your BAB allows, which isn't the same as a full attack (as this also includes things such as Rapid Shot, Haste-granted attacks, etcetera).
is in another sourcebook, and refering to it with people who don't know how even Eldritch Blast itself functions is confusing.

1. Correct, I always seem to forget that fact, but it is still an huge boost to the warlocks offensive capabilities.

2. I'm here to help out, nothing else. The Blast shape can be found in Dragon Magic btw.
