Warlock - Can't cast

Post by CookieMonster » Sat Jan 13, 2018 5:59 pm

I am not sure if I have overlooked something, or if this is a bug..

But, to my understanding to be able to cast 6th circle spells you need 16 CHA

My Warlock has 17 Base CHA and with items hits 22 but still has no charges to cast 6th circle spells.

Pretty sure (since I have this issue with Mai) you have bonus spell levels at Bard 16 but without having higher charisma than most bards start with you can't actually cast them. Scurvy tried to explain it to me.

What level is your warlock, and what spell are you looking at?

If you are level 16, you gain access to select 6th level spells. However, do not have a base spell per day in 6th level. You get 1 as of 17th, which is likely the cause of your issues.

At level 16, a bard should be able to cast 1 level 6 spell per day if they have 22 CHA while resting, though.

In 1 more level you'll be able to. Warlock spell design wasn't well designed in this way. You'll have a few instances as you're levelling either a fiend or fey pact where you can't use the new spell you're supposed to have.

(Could be fixed easily by giving warlocks properties on their PC Creature Skin such as 1 Bonus Spell Slot for every level of casting. Since they cast unlimited spells anyway, and since they should be able to cast the spell if they have the Cha for it, this would solve the problem.)

Well, you all hit the nail on the head. I managed to get 22 CHA before spells and I got my 1 casting.

I assume when I hit level 17 (He is 16) he will be fixed up for proper.
