Crazy idea: Monk/Warlock

Unread post by kitteninablender »

Monk warlock build with Guttural Invocations, 20 levels of Warlock, 10 levels of monk, combining monk speed and AC with Word of Changing/flee the scene to change into a really big, really fast Devil with wisdom to Armor class, using UMD for wands and scrolls for spiderskin/etc. Taking the invocations for sneak attack immunity, and taking Hideous Blow with Binding Blast.

RP wise I was thinking a Lawful Evil disciple of Asmodeus who is trying to shed the "weakness" of his mortal form.

There is no Guttural Invocations on the server and I don't think you can even use hideous blow while shifted.

This is exactly right. They said we will never have Guttural Invocations,m and shifting disables all warlock casting, as well as hideous blow. Even in druid shapeshift with natural spell.

However, nothing wrong with monk 20/Warlock 5/SD5 if you want the lock/monk rp. Not the most powerful thing in the world, but would do fine punching stuff with fists that get a little extra damage from hideous blow.

Well, you could still go for something like: Monk 3/Warlock 27. You just use a monk flurry of blows weapon to ensure that you do get your Hideous Blow once per round. Then just go for a split of dex/wis for AC.
