Warlock Pact Question

[Miskol]

Is there a minimum number of levels needed in bard before a character can accept one of the pacts from an NPC?

If you are planning on taking warlock levels on your wizard or sorcerer, don't. It borks your spells.

you can only take this path in game if you're a bard or a favoured soul as far as I know.

You can multiclass wizard or sorcerer with bard, which would allow you to take the pact. Doing so, however, borks your spells.

Borks how?

When I did so on my shadow mage, all of her *wizard* spells that also happened to be on the Warlock spell list were cast at CL 3 (how many bard levels I had) and did eldritch damage. Shadow Shield was also given the Ethereal Visage VFX. Deleveling didn't fix this, so I had to delete the character. Still haven't gotten word from the devs about whether or not this is slated to be fixed.

Sounds like the scripting for the eldritch blast damage checks to see if the caster has the appropriate path, and if so, does its EB damage, and then applies the spell's vanilla effects based on the caster level of warlock class.

Doesn't sound like it's checking to see which spellbook it's being cast from before moving ahead with the rest of the script.

I imagine the script itself is tied to the spells themselves rather than the Warlock. Not sure if that's one script with a bunch of "If, then, else" style operators that run against every spell cast or if it's a bunch of smaller scripts individually attached to the warlock spells.

It works just fine for Clerics sooooooooooooo

probably because those are divine spells, warlock get muddled with arcane class dips

How lame.
