Just what it says on the tin, is there some invocation or ACF that allows a warlock to deal elemental damage? mind you, I´m not too familiar with the warlock class, having never played one so perhaps there is one in the basic list that I missed.

so, is there any ways to do it?

Brimstone Blast deals fire damage.
Hellrime Blast deals cold damage.
Vitriolic Blast deals acid damage. It also ignores SR and can be fired into antimagic fields.


Dragonfire adepts get a breath weapon, which is very similar to Eldritch Blast, and can deal various kinds of elemental damage. They also get invocations.

thank you very much, I know I alluded to the possibility of me missing them but I didn´t really think that was it :smallredface:

Technically you can't do elemental damage at all in 3.5. Elemental damage was changed to energy damage.

"Elemental damage" is a general term within the scope of fantasy RPGs. Everyone knew what he was asking.

There are also two items in the Magic Item Compendium: the Gauntlets of Eldritch Energy which let you turn a no-essence blast into energy damage 3/day (one energy type based on the gauntlet), and the Gloves of Eldritch Admixture, which add 2d6, 3d6, or 4d6 energy damage to your blast (choose any type upon activation, 3 charges/day). The gloves are the cheapest and should be just about the first offensive item you pick up, like the +1 sword of Warlocks.

It's a light mace ;).

See that would be funnier if he was talking about the Warlock Scepter, and not the gloves. :smalltongue:

Not sure what you mean?

Oh wait, I get it, I interpreted the wrong meaning of "like". He's saying the gloves are similar to a +1 sword would be for other classes. I thought he was saying both the gloves and the sceptre are early-acquisition targets.
