Talk:Warlock's Curse (3.5e Invocation)

Pretty Insane

This is far far better than bestow curse, especially since it applies to saving throws. This is pretty much Dire Hexblade curse but with lower duration, one target at a time, longer action to use and 'At Will. There not even a save immunity clause. This need restructuring, because right now it unbelievably strong. --Leziad (talk) 15:07, 3 May 2017 (MDT)

Well, what would you suggest? It's based off of the core mechanic of the Scourge Warlock in the Neverwinter MMO; In that game, Cursed targets take 20% more damage; If you curse more than one target, the damage bonus is divided between them, and most all of the other skills do extra stuff against a Cursed target, either consuming the curse or just being boosted by it.

Reducing the penalty to -3 is workable (The only reason I didn't, though, was 3 is very hard to divide into two whole numbers when you curse two targets, and simply having it apply a -2 penalty against both targets would make it more powerful than when used against a single target or three targets), and having the penalty only apply against the attacks and abilities the Warlock who cursed them. Having the first invocation or Eldritch Blast used against the target consume the curse but receive a +1 to +3 boost to effective Warlock level (Thus increasing EB damage and such) makes sense.

Anyway, lemme know what your suggestions are. Zhenra-Khal (talk) 15:22, 3 May 2017 (MDT)
