warlocks a few questions

[*Lost and not Found]

So, at the moment Hellfire Warlock level 2 ability Summon Baatezu is the only pre-epic Warlock summon that's worth something. (Just left click on the Baatuzu, and click unsummon before you run out of time. [Safe Duration = Hellfire Warlock level + 1d8 + Charisma Modifier])

spell failure.

if you wear leather armor or chain shirt 0% failure as a warlock.

wear a sheild 5% right? or 15%. Now if you get say a zanthar sheild or mitheral on a small sheild 0% spell failure?

Arcane Spell Failure to warlocks works the same as it works to bards (if you're familiar with how it works to bards that is)


You can use light armors without arcane spell failure, or with Battlecaster feat you can wield medium armor without arcane spell failure.

Light shield (mundane) gives 5% spell failure
Heavy Shield (mundane) gives 15% spell failure
Tower Shield (mundane) gives 50% spell failure

Zalanthar: Reduces spell failure by 5% on light and heavy shields [doesn't work on crafted heavy shields however, some Obsidian bug {works on light ones}] and reduces it by 10% on tower shields.

Mithral: Reduces spell failure by 20% on shields (to minimum of 0%), to armors it reduces spell failure by 10% (to minimum of 0%, also armors are made one type lower, down to light rather than cloth)

Oh and I think that wiki one is outdated when it comes to which invocations it affects on. I think those mostly got fixed.

Well, I cannot say I would have noticed much of a difference. My Warlock has his own share of Arcane Spell Failure.
