With that in mind can Perform be added to the new warlock skill list? Some of the old warlocks may have taken +6 perform minor gift for disguising which could be a worthless gift for them now.

Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
What about Ride? Nearly all classes have it, with a few exceptions, which is puzzling.Kalopsia wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 10:07 pmGood call!

Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
Is the timer on the epic hag pact eldritch sleep supposed to be so short. It is on a 1 round timer. Half the time you can't even get a spell off afterwards.
Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
Awesome! I feel so heard. Though, I would always encourage potentially adding 1 round for say, greater spell focus enchantment. Then if you take a 2 feet investment, you are guaranteed at least 2 rounds, which is still not a lot considering your main action takes a full round unless hasted.
Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
The exceptions are Wizard and Sorcerer, which are encouraged to dip into classes that do have Ride, and Druid too, which doesn't make much sense to me because they love animals and horse is an animal! Everyone else has Ride, even Loremasters do, besides Clerics, Favored Souls, and Harper Mages and so on.
To me, Warlock feels very encouraged to stay pure outside of some synergies with Hexblade. Think of the poor Warlocks who want to be super edgy riding their Nightmares into battle, just like the Night Hags they can pact with, which are known to ride Nightmares (I read it in the Monster Manual I).
Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
Two Questions:
1.) Will the Warlock migration for existing Warlocks allow for a pact change at lvl 1? For example, I've apparently been playing a Fathomless before there was such a thing, using the Abyssal Pact as place holder. I know you can take multiple pacts, but I really don't even want to. So, will the migration allow for lvl 1 pact switching? *fingers crossed*
2.) Are there any summons streams planned for our new pact additions? I loved that we got a Fey stream, but would love love love Fathomless and Star Pacts. I dream of an Aboleth summons!

1) No pact changes, unfortunately. You'll get the pact feat for your former warlock pact.RedGiant wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 12:57 amTwo Questions:

2) Summon streams are a fair amount of work, balancing them even more so. One day perhaps, but not anytime soon :) I want to focus on refining the features we have, first.
Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
How are remakes of existing warlocks handled? Automatic or need DM assistance?

Echoing this question even if it's without regaining all the items/gold the character has. Most of us will be shoehorned in Abyssal or Infernal pacts whereas our builds likely fit Undying builds based on statlines.

Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
It's no actual remakes, the script will automatically swap Bard levels with Warlock ones and force a -relevel. Stats and feats remain the same, and you keep your items and level progress :)
No award refunds, unfortunately. The new class is very functional with old warlock stat spreads however. Perhaps your character won't be 100% optimized, but definitely viable. Have a look at the following build for instance:Good Character wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 1:15 pmEchoing this question even if it's without regaining all the items/gold the character has.

Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
The interface on the build calc is so clean, I love looking at it. You're right in that most builds do convert, but some do not.
That said, new warlock is much stronger and more interesting to play so you haven't broken my heart.

Is the character flat-footed in-between these actions?- New command: -hideousblow
> This command will cast Hideous Blow on a valid nearby target.
> It will retrigger itself every 3 seconds until combat is over.
Could they potentially assist in flanking a target in this mode?
Does the trigger timer depend at all on haste/quicken spell or are you "attacking" at max speed regardless?

Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
All the command does is ensure your action queue remains filled with Hideous Blows aimed at valid targets :)xanrael wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 8:19 pmIs the character flat-footed in-between these actions?- New command: -hideousblow

The actual amount of casts per round still depends on Haste.
Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
I may just have lost track of the various overviews of the various pacts but is there i breakdown of the summons an undying pact ‘lock gains access to via eldritch summon?

Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
Undying hasn't been assigned a specific stream, so it'll use a stream based on your alignment, but always evil.

Alrighty!

Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
Quick question on deities for a warlock. Do you have to pick a deity in line with your pact? For example if you select Unseelie, do you have to take the one Unseelie deity?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
Short answer, no. You can worship whoever you want as a warlock.
Basically, the warlock is dealing with a triad of influences between their Patron, their god and their own self interest. Of course any or all of them could theoretically align depending on the character concept.

Re: Big Ol' Warlock Question Thread
So, you said not anytime soon, but then Night Hag Pact got a summons reskin. Could we get same deal for Star and Fathomless? I think this is an awesome work-around.Kalopsia wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 5:21 pm1) No pact changes, unfortunately.
