Warlock


Advice and Rules Questions


Ok, so I have built a Warlock using the build on the pfd20srd site, as my DM is allowing 3rd party classes that have been approved by PF. So my question then is, upon reaching higher levels could I fire multiple Arcane Bolts based off my BAB as a Full Round Action? Or am I still limited to only being able to use it once a round?

There's nothing wrong with playing 3rd party classes, but "approved by PF" doesn't mean anything. Paizo doesn't "approve" anything.

That said, if you're talking about the Adamant publishing warlock, that one has arcane bolts as Supernatural ability. (Su) does not get iteratives. The only thing that gets iteratives are attacks.


Ok, so it still only gets one use per round then?

Scarab Sages

Yep, looks like it. It scales with level, so that makes up for a lot of iterative stuff.


Ok, cool, so there is absolute purpose to the Arcane Flurry (Su) once i reach 12 lvl, and not be super overpowered. Tho there I do admit, its a little botched in determining save DCs for some of the abilities. The DC is 10 + spell level +CHA modifier, but this variant doesnt really cast spells, so what would be used in place of the "spell level" for this purpose?

Scarab Sages

Just glancing at the SRD for it, it looks like anything that has a DC is described in terms of a spell, like "as per a suggestion spell". Just use the spell level of the spell it acts like. I don't see anything with a quick glance on the page that looks like it should have a DC and doesn't have that language.


If it's a class ability the standard is half class level plus ability modifier plus ten.


Yea I was looking at the purpose for my Arcane Burst, which makes my Arcane Bolt a Burst Effect
