Epic dodge is good, but as a warlock I prefer to rise warlock lv to 18+ for both Retributive Invisibility and Dark Premonition. It will be a solid protective ward.


To talk about melee lock with sneak attack dice my initial response is Fient. Warlock can do this well from Beguiling Influence. So another option is str(dex)/cha based. Ever thought about Wl24/SToA3/Clr3 for both EDM and EW, plus the sneaker belt which offers Fient. But it's not implemented yet

Don't remember its name. But get that feat which extends your flee from scene by 50%. Becaise it also dubbles the AB to you and your party.

That means you basically have permanently +2 ab, 1 ac and haste. Worth it for a melee lock.

Shadow Thief of Amn is replaced by name only with Guild Thief in BGTSCC?

my idea for this is invis to get 4/6 attacks with 16d6 bonus dmg then epic dodge to invis again. repeat as needed.

could do this with rogue/sin or SD, but i like the "feel" of the lock providing some of this damage. coupled with the ability to pull from distance with spear.

in the build im not even sure i want to invest points into hide/ms. might be mobs out there that can see my invis, but if i go into sneak. not sure how that will all play out.

10 levels of SD would leave me unable to get PTWF and i would also loose a bunch of SA dice. it is a nice build, but not what i am feeling.

Oh! And get umd high enough for greater heroism. Another +4 from scrolls! Can be bought at high hedge and lasts for round 10 min. Very decent ab buff.

should be >30 UMD and will have 14 at level 9. so yea. UMD will be there. i am just wondering if hide/ms will be a waste because i will primarily use invis to get my SA's.

In most area's it's random, though there are some caster mobs that will cast such spells as soon as you use invis.

if i see that being cast, will invis meet the req to transition into hide/ms?
