A friend of mine told me of a prestige class which is called Shadowlock for a rogue and warlock mix. He said it is in one out of a dragon magazines but I can't seem to find it. Do anyone here know where I can find it and if so were do I go?

There isn't a prestige class by that name; they may be thinking of a build type (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showsinglepost.php?p=7648436&postcount=9):


There are several types of warlock you can play, and over time you might be able to mix and match some of the ideas into a single character. Here's just a quick, off the cuff list of various build directions you can take a warlock.

Glaivelock: a build designed for close combat using the eldritch glaive invocation.

Feylock: uses the Fey Heritage feats from Complete Mage to very good effect. (Improved DR, some useful 1/SLAs and a boost to your invocation DCs....)

Shadowlock: Uses the feats from Drow of the Underdark to get Hide in Plain sight at 1st level (must take Darkness as an invocation.) Great when combined with sneak attack sources.

Craftlock: Focuses on item creation, usually has a 2 level dip in Chameleon to get that nice floating feat. (chameleon is an amazing prestige class for warlocks anyway.)

Hellfire warlock: Prestige class,you blow stuff up real good. Need a dip into binder to really make it work well.


The "Drow of the Underdark" feat in question is called "Blend Into Shadows." The general idea is that you get Sneak Attack from somewhere (there are lots of options there), use the Darkness invocation, Hide in Plain Sight, and get your Sneak damage when you Eldritch Blast.

And you only need a single level of Warlock for this. The rest can be SA focused. Or vice versa - focus on the Warlock side and Eldritch Blast (http://pifro.com/pro/view.php?id=8813).

Bonus points if you're a unicorn... with a dark cloak!
