then to my mind, you should and would play up that fluff that makes you different than any other regular magic-user, even if mechanically the rules are run the same way.īut again. If you chose to play the fluff-heavy Warlock class. but the story of what your character is doing is different. Yeah, the rules the DM has to use to adjudicate that are exactly the same.
Because you aren't casting Detect Magic, you're using your Eldritch Sight. you fundimentally are destroying the fluff and story of your own class. but when you use that invocation you say 'I cast Detect Magic'. but if you're a warlock with Eldritch Sight. Now perhaps this is just a personal bugaboo on my part. None of them are new in Dungeons & Dragons, with the Eladrin even being a core race in 4th Edition. We get the Eladrin as an Elf subrace, and the Gith with their two subraces, the Githyanki and the Githzerai. Otherwise, all the flavor of being a warlock just goes away and you end up being nothing but just another magic-user. For the month of September we are presented with new race options. Invocations and spells should really be considered, run, and described completely differently. but those invocations really aren't spells. They have all these invocations to their patrons whose mechanics match the spells that clerics and wizards have.
It's the same thing that occurs with Warlocks. calling the feature 'Fey Step' and describing how it occurs and is used should really be done differently by the eladrin player than how the wizard player would describe what happens when they Misty Step. And for the sake of the story of the world. So while the game uses the spell 'Misty Step' as a shorthand to describe what 'Fey Step' does. Instead, they have a special eladrin ability to teleport called 'Fey Step' which mechanically matches the same ability spellcasters can do that they have called 'Misty Step'. This is one of those situations where the story and fluff of the game world is dropped a little bit in the name of game mechanic simplicity.Įladrin don't really know the spell 'Misty Step'.
