Okay, I'm wanting to make a versatile Warlock. Yea, I know, a Lock is even less versatile than a Sorcerer... or is he?
You see, I'm looking at going from Warlock5/Chamelion2/Warlock7. Basically, he's got 12 levels of Warlock and 2 levels of Chamelion. Why? Combine Imbue Item with a feat which can be any of the Magic Item Craft feats, and you have a character who can make literally any item in the game. And use them with the ability to take 10 on any UMD check. So he can make scrolls of whatever spell he wants to, and use them in combat effectively. It's like the best part of being Schrodinger's Wizard plus all of the all-day-long blastiness of being a Warlock.
This character can even break the game worse than a Batman Wizard, because he doesn't need a copy of the spell to begin with. So if the GM keeps saying "Nope, sorry, you can't find that spell anywhere, and no wizard is willing to let you copy it", then you simply make your mutable feat be Scribe Scroll, automatically make a UMD check by taking 10 on it, and make the darn scroll anyways. If anything, this guy synergies infamously well with a Batman Wizard, because with him in tow, there is LITERALLY no spell he cannot have in his spellbook, barring GM fiat. If there wasn't a rule about Cohorts not being able to craft things that require xp cost, I'd say he's the ultimate Leadership Cohort for a Batman Wizard.
However, I'm wondering what else to do with Warlock. I mean, they really don't have a whole lot going for them other than invocations, but there really isn't any good PrC's I can immediately think of off hand that advances invocations known that this character can qualify for that would be worth it.
I was kinda trying to avoid the Hellfire Warlock, because I don't want a level of Binder, and don't want to bother with mitigating all the Con damage.
All the theurge-type classes require too many levels in other things that the Chameleon class specifically does NOT qualify for purposes of PrCing (otherwise, it would be pretty broken).
The good-aligned PrC for Warlocks doesn't advance invocations known.
Should I just go with more warlock?
