Some questions regarding Complete Arcane (DND 3.5)

[OmniMage]

I have questions that I haven't been able to find answers for.

How much starting wealth does the classes in the book start with? If I wanted to play as a warlock, how much gold do I start with?

What type of damage is the eldritch blast? I know that a basic unarmed attack deals blunt damage, I can find rules for it, but I can't figure out what kind of damage an eldritch blast is.

Were there any other classes that got the eldritch blast and invocations? I'm interested in the all day magic that the warlock has, but not the theme of the warlock.

You should be asking this in a D&D forum not a Pathfinder forum.

Oh. Sorry. I'll go look for some DND forums then.

I used to play 3.5 a LOOONG time ago and still have the books. The Eldritch Blast deals an untyped magic damage (flavor text says "baleful magical energy'). So, damage reduction is not applicable. Spell resistance is. Deals half damage to objects. Your invocations or other choices might change all of this, of course.

The only other class I know of that got powers similar to the Warlock (as in casty-blasty all day long) is the Dragon Shaman, although that kicks in around 4th level as a breath weapon.
