Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Hi,
So I am in the process of making a Warlock, and I realized that Point Blank Shot works with the Eldricth blast but I wasn't sure if Rapid Reload or something like that could also, be used to enhance the eldritch blast and potentially give it a second attack?
Thanks

That would be pretty imbalanced. I doubt you get a second attack.

Rapid reload only works with crossbows as far as I am aware. Rapid shot only works with bows. Speaking as a warlock player, 2 blasts / round would be very overpowered, considering how high you can push your eldritch blast dice here.

Don't take point blank shot as a warlock, there are better options

The only way to get 2 blast/round is to take Autoquicken I/II by crossclassing something like wiz-lock 17/13, making sure that 17th level of wizard is taken at level 27 or 29. This will let you cast Least Invocations (eg. Eldritch Spear) twice per round, but with the severely poleaxed wizard & warlock caster level and inability to qualify for Eldritch Mastery, there isn't actually a point to a build like this on BG. You can get Autoquicken II if you take a 10th level wizard (or 5th/10th level Red Wizard) bonus feat on level 27/29, meaning you could autoquicken Eldritch Chain or Eldritch Cone.

I ran a similar build on Sigil (Warlock/Wizard/Demonologist/Eldritch Theurge) with Autoquicken II that was fun for RP flavour but mechanically useless (and on Sigil almost every 2nd creature has copious amounts of SR, rendering all spellcasting except summoning null and void).

Btw, wanxiuming, Rapid Shot stacks with Rapid Reload for xbows, giving 3 attacks per round. Rapid Shot will not work for xbow without Rapid Reload, however.

Is that supposed to be like that or a bug? Or a feature?

It's supposed to be like that. For NWN at least. In pnp the whole system functions quite differently.

Does Point Blank Shot work with Warlock spells? Thanks

It shouldn't.
