Hellfire warlock help

Hellfire Warlock Class levels now stack with Warlock to determine Eldricht Blast Damage. RPGplayer's warlock fix has been added, which fixes issues relating to hellfire shield, Hellfire blast and constitution damage not being applied or dispellable
So what i get from this is that a warlock with 3 levels in hellfire warlock should have the same blast dice as a full warlock, yet i only have 9d6 at level 20 when i should have 10d6.

Does others have this issue, or is it just me that misunderstood it?

You've misunderstood it.

You should have 9D6 at level 20, and you do. The confusion you have is probably from NWN2DB, which uses Kaedrin's changes. This server uses the default warlock progression, which is here:

Practiced Invoker only gives you more blastdice if you have non-warlock, non-hellfire warlock levels.

Hi guys,

I have started to experience problems with my Baatezu summons' AI. They used to respond quicker in terms of attacking hostile beings around. Now sometimes they just stand there and do nothing for the remainder of combat. I widely rely on them as part of my playstyle. Does anyone know a solution to this issue? I usually select 'Defend Master' and 'Agression Distance' as 'Far'. It used to work well before but seems it is not anymore.. Help appreciated pretty please, thanks!

Use the voice commands and/or control Henchman feat to make summons react faster. They've never been... great on their own.

I also find that if you attack first, or get attacked, they respond somewhat better to that.

Alternatively, if you are invis, the good old "Attack nearest" command does the trick. It gets more bothersome when you are an active element in the battle yourself. When you want instant action from them.

Thanks for replies guys, it is funny but the henchman commands are something I have never used, even to the extend that I have forgotten their existence. So I shall try that. What is a ' Voice Command'? Is it the right click issue command thing?

Thank you again!

You can use that one... but it's better to press V on the keyboard and then W: Combat and move the combat related ones to the hotbar (1-4 is what I use on my Conjurer). This means when you need all summons to hold and not run off to combat to something else you can't even see yet for example, it's very easy to do.

Do try out the Control Henchman feat as well. Move it to a hotbar too and be sure to read the feat description.

I had a question about it myself.
When you pick 24W 3HW 3DS is it recommended to pick up practiced invoker ?
NWN2 builder shows a caster level difference from 29 to 33 though technically it's just 1 level with out spell progression.

BGtSCC has a custom fix where practiced spellcaster will not go above 30. Vanilla game just gave +4 CL with that feat so the builder mirrors that. Practiced Invoker on BG will only give you CL30, up to you if the feat is worth being 30 instead of 29.

That depends on if a DM is willing to swap a feat out (Dark transient) or not haha. Not sure if I want to go through a RCR again for this.
Other solution would be looking around for gloves with critical on ranged touch.

Don't mean to necro post but does this mean deathward which literally says in its description prevents ability damage. Wont prevent Con damage from hellfire? Or was there some bug at some point that just literally without any preventative measures spell wise or other just didnt hand you con drain?

It's by design here, that you suffer constitution damage each time you hit with hellfire.
If you block constitution drain you cannot use your hellfire abilities (custom server change)

Deathward (no longer) prevents any stat. damage. https://wiki.bgtscc.net/index.php?title=Death_Ward
