[4e] d20 meets Earthdawn

[JaxGaret]

One thing I particularly didn't like was the Warlock. The class really has very few options at any given level, once you determine your pact... Your at-wills are decided for you, only infernals have initial choices of encounter or daily powers... and that trend continues. Star can choose 2nd level utility powers, infernals and feys cannot. Feys can choose 3rd level encounter powers, infernal and stars cannot. Compared to a wizard, who gets twice as many powers as anyone else and can choose which to use on any given day, they're straight-jacketed.

Correction: Warlocks are not limited to selecting powers that coincide with their Pact. In other words, a Starpact Warlock can select Infernalpact or Feypact powers, but they do not receive the extra benefit of having that type of Pact that many powers include.

Thus Warlocks are not nearly as straitjacketed as you make them out to be.
