Pretty straightfoward question
The Eldritch Essence
Essence of Fire: Reduces the affected target's AB, and buffs the summon's AB for 4 rounds. Does not stack; each successive strike merely renews the duration. Scales based on the warlock's caster level:
Warlock Level 4: -1 AB to Target, +1 AB to Summon
Warlock Level 12: -1 AB to Target, +2 AB to Summon
Warlock Level 20: -2 AB to Target, +3 AB to Summon
Warlock Level 28: -2 AB to Target, +4 AB to Summon
Essence of Cold: Reduces the target's AC, and buffs the summon's AC for 4 rounds. Does not stack; each successive strike merely renews the duration. Scales based on the warlock's caster level:
Warlock Level 4: -1 AC to Target, +1 AC to Summon
Warlock Level 12: -1 AC to Target, +2 AC to Summon
Warlock Level 20: -2 AC to Target, +3 AC to Summon
Warlock Level 28: -2 AC to Target, +4 AC to Summon
And the Blood-Sealing Pact
Abyssal and Infernal pact warlocks get Blood-Sealing Pact: so long as the Warlock's Summon is present, the warlock receives bonus Blast damage equal to their Charisma modifier.
Are these bonuses also applied to the Blackguard Fiendish evil summon as well?

Warlock bonuses will apply to any outsiders you summon with the warlock or blackguard related abilities.

I was told on Discord that is not the case.

As far as the code is concerned, you get the bonuses whether your fiendish summon comes from your Warlock spells or from your Blackguard feats.

A related question, the eldritch blast damage will work only for warlock spells or other class' spells would get the benefit?yellowcateyes wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 8:21 pmAs far as the code is concerned, you get the bonuses whether your fiendish summon comes from your Warlock spells or from your Blackguard feats.

Apologies for misleading you in the discord; This wasn't what I thought you were asking, and I wasn't sure if they applied to BG summons as well.
