Question about Eldritch Glaive

[Darrin]

Okay, I'm wanting to build a Warlock (Hellfire being specifically and explicitly BANNED) which uses Eldritch Glaive. However, I'm also wanting to be able to attack adjacent squares with my glaive.

The feat you need is called Shorten Grip, from Dragon Compendium.

It allows you to threaten/attack adjacent squares with a -2 penalty. It does not require an action.

Do you have a race yet? See if your DM will allow Hengeyokai from Oriental Adventures. Transform into a sparrow (fine size, +6 Dex bonus, +8 Size bonus to AC, +8 size bonus to attacks). A sparrow with Eldritch Glaive, Shorten Grip, and Confound the Big Folk would be... interesting. It might also get a few books thrown at you.

Oh, something else you may want to explore with a Warlock... pick up a Wild Cohort as a mount. Eldritch Glaive can be used while mounted to get the equivalent of a full attack, even if your mount moves more than 5'. (Although with all-day flight, it's not like warlocks have movement issues.)
