Discussion talk:Pixie warlock

From D&D Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Pixie Warlock combination is a fairly straight forward one. The pixie is well suited to be a warlock; with it's greater invisibly and ability to fly, the pixie can be a very nasty magic user at a warlock. Unlike the sorcerer and wizard classes, the warlock's invocations are limitless in use. Thus a well constructed warlock pixie can put the beat down on any number of opponents while remaining hidden and maneuverable. What more, where a normal warlock would be faced with concealment issues and ensuring his safety with invocations, taking up valuable time, the pixie warlock can rush into battle very easily.

Though the pixie warlock is limited in the number of invocations known, this really doesn't detract from the combination, and rather compliments the pixie's racial spell like abilities.

A certain option would be a gestalt pixie rogue warlock, or multiclassed pixie rogue warlock.

(Hint: using the intensify darkness feat with the darkness invocation makes all darkness invocations deeper darkness. Casting that on a clump of wet sand will transfer the spell to each particle of sand once dried.)

Example Pixie Rogue 6 Warlock 4 level (Note there is a rule for level adjustment with the pixie, rather than taking on a full level adjustment with HD, the pixie can forgo monstrous HD and level straight form level one in his or her base class (rogue, warlock etc) and then gains slowly the powers of a pixie with each level. That is why I'm not showing a huge level adjustment here. And showing level 10 character examples.)
