They will not be improved over what they are. Simply put, Wizards and sorcerers are not warlocks. You don't get to have spells that have 40+ DC and require a save or die alongside spells that do 50d6 damage and also get to be a warlock with unlimited blasts. We have discussed these in QC previously and they are going to remain where they sit power wise because they cost a precious feat and don't do much damage, but do allow a wizard, sorc, caster bard, cleric, etc. to essentially be doing something every single round. Alone they are pretty weak, but when you consider you can also have a summon tanking and dealing damage for you (or multiple summons) then you start seeing a situation where it's damage every round from relative safety. Make them stronger and you make the classes that are already at the top of the PvP heap even more powerful, along with being stronger in PvE which is what some claim is their one weakness.

I get what you are saying, but if you want to be a blaster who never runs out of spell power...that's the warlocks forte.

Ki Power
A phantom can channel her ki to manifest special powers of stealth and mobility. She can use her ki powers a number of times per day equal to her class level (up to 30 uses/day). Ki powers can be used only if a phantom is wearing no armor and is unencumbered.
Is the wiki description wrong?

I just tested ki power in game and it does not work while wearing any armor. It does work when using a shield though.

Good to know. What about the wisdom AC? Does it work while using a shield?


Another question, does the Elemental Shield spell change damage type with Archmage's Mastery of Elements? For example, the spell deals fire damage by default, could it deal cold damage with Archmage?

Unfortunately this does not work. Valefort might be fixing it for the next patch though.

Does assay resistance (UMD'd) affect spell resistance checks from hideous blow landing?

Not sure if FoF unarmed damage bonus is working in bear form as per this thread;
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=53113&p=815169#p815169

Someone have a better way of testing? Perhaps adding then removing the class levels?

There was a transition there for a brief time but not anymore; the transition from the Underdark to the searing tunnels is past the Netherese maze.

Sorry but reserve feats are greatly under powered... saying they are op is a straight out lie. And summons are worthless as meat shields anyway so there is no relative safety as they die in seconds. Summons are under powered as well infact.
