Re: Things that are NOT FUN

Re: Making the Warlock from Scratch

Why not just use a conduit of the lower planes instead? Retool the flavour a bit, and it has much the same mechanical feel as the warlock, with less of the sucking.

Re: Races of War/Dungeonomicon in Action

Probably :)

In the Races of War thread, K did ask if anyone had any stories about the material in actual gameplay, which is all I am providing.
