Warlock Revamp - Upcoming Changes

[GodBeastX]

When can we expect this to be implemented? Also, would current warlocks be offered rebuilds?

It's 90% done, I need to think up a few more feats. Then it'll be done.

And yes, rebuilds will be offered and pretty much required to advantage.

I ordered chicken soup, not this pork broth!

[Laurk]

actually that's a wonderful question. Would a dead polymorphed person revert to their natural state? Like a lycanthrope?

[Doubtful]

The most important question is whether that lovely roast will turn back into a person after 24 hours.

A stomach full of chicken thighs is one thing, but if they suddenly became a stomach full of human thighs...

My tests on it show it's not that easy to succeed. I had to cast on a guy with 5 fort save 7 times before it worked XD

Good point. Im going to break Nora's neck and skin her next time she comes up to Abby as a bunny. Oh that'd be funny!

Ya these sound like good changes, and I guess other people already have baneful polymorph... though they actually have to prepare it and can only use it a few times rather than every 6 seconds.

I have a suspcion PvE will be a pretty predictable affair. One by one, monsters will turn into chickens throughout an encounter. Someone will have to start a KFC in Sundren. Genetically modified horrible chicken monsters for all!

Hi,

is it wise? I can't see any chicken trying to convince me it's nothing more, than pesky dinner. I'd slit it's throat and throw it in the pot the second I'd get hungry. I see a heap of goody paladins suddenly recognizing it's not a chicken, but their old friend or they will carry it about as long as they accidentally meet the proper "hey I have true seeing" friend. One way or the other, nobody will let me perma kill/"eat" their buddy (not that I'd enjoy perma-killing somebody, just my toon would definitely eat it).

We face the "perma-kill" vs "metagaming" situation I think.

Just my two cents.

I think most people might do that, buuuut, it's also possible for people to roll sense motive, knowledge nature, etc and probably go "THAT'S A WIERD CHICKEN!"

Personally, I don't see much difference than our druids who walk around as rabbits right now. And least this was inflicted on them by someone else

Is the Dimensional Door update going to be added to Flee the Scene? I don't see why I can't touch someone and move them with me =x

That's how it works in pen & paper, except I'm being kind making it a 24 hour chicken if you succeed will. How it works in P&P is you're that shape but you don't lose the IQ and stuff if you will save so you can try to cluck around and find someone to turn you back.

Eventually you might BECOME a chicken in P&P!

Does the half warlock level for spell resist affect eldritch blasts only or all warlock invocations?

I'm going to say that the NWN2wiki only mentions it for Blasts and blast Essences (Aside from Vitrolic). I am only 80% Certain though!

Any chance the Feat "Extra Invocation" from Complete Arcane might make it in also? Basically you trade a feat for an extra invocation of any grade at least 1 level lower than your current highest level of invocation (e.g., if you can cast Greater Invocations, you can spend a feat to choose an extra invocation of Lesser or lower level).

Also, any chance warlocks might be able to get a "Practiced Spellcaster"-like feat?

Sorry, I keep thinking of things and just posting. =[

All sounds very nice! I've never had any interest in playing a warlock but i never realised their spells had been so watered down. Would be sweet if some nerfed Wiz spells could get their true durations restored too (I heard Polt was working on it but I presume it's hit a snag

I'm thinking along the lines of Charm, Feeblemind etc

Sorry, bit off topic. Anyway, great work!

So a question about Word of Changing.

So a failed fort save, and you're a chicken. A failed will save and you're a perminent chicken. Unless im mistaken, they can cast this spell every 6 seconds without limit. Is there a risk here, that given infinite invisablity and infinite chickenability that given the proper length of time, every person on the entire server will eventually be a perminant chicken save for a single warlock?

At least balancing dungeons would be easier.

seriously though... does it really last 24 hours? Because I can just see drive by chickenings as warlocks streak through the second wind chickenizing people for fun. Id hate to be a chicken for 24 hours, let alone perminantly. It would be vastly harder to get donations, and I might wind up in the soup.
