What I can't see is how and why... they can't use it (or take it, for that matter) until they are at CL 26, since their Eldrich Blast is the equivalent of a 9th-level spell. The only way I can see this being pulled off is to boost CL, but including the orange Ioun Stone, that is 5 CL's left... what about them? Please point out the easy point of logic I have missed in this argument, or tell me how to do it (if you still can) if my argument is right... input greatly appreciated!

Probably for just that reason (I believe the book actually mentions the Meta spell-like ability feats, but the warlock can't really use 'em without that correction).
Mindolin 04-16-07, 04:28 PM	Wrong, the Eldritch Blast has been put through the errata to ALWAYS be a level 1 SLA. Thus, you only have to be 10th level to get it. According to the table, 8th level, but with a prereq of 10th level caster you need to be at least that level.
TheDragonmaster 04-17-07, 12:30 PM	Thanks, but you are wrong: I have indeed missed something... the errata!
