Okay, so I finally got around to getting the MotB and SoZ expansions. Go me.

One thing I wanted to try was a Warlock as my magical crafter. But first I want to check if Imbue Item works as expected.

1) From what I've read Craft Magical Arms and Armor enchantments don't require spells, just caster-level checks - and Warlocks should suffice.

2) From what I've read Craft Wondrous Items recipes *do* require spells. My expectation is that Imbue Item will be able to substitute for any spell not memorized by a party member (after the UMD check is passed, of course).

3) I'm also assuming that by now, any bugs around Imbue Item will probably have been resolved, which would explain why I haven't seen any references to the feat on the forums I've been searching.

Can anyone help me out and verify that I've got the right idea? It'd be appreciated.

Warlocks can craft all kinds of items, up to level 11 they're scroll and UMD reliant to do it, scrolls may not always provide the needed caster level however. After level 12 it's all good except for a few bugs that have unfortunately NOT been ironed out except maybe by 3rd party content. The magical damage resistance recipe doesn't work for anyone. And there's a few recipes that diferenciate themselves only by the spell cast to finish them (while most also have an unique combination of needed components), for those few recipes warlocks don't get to choose what their Imbue Item feat masquerades as, they can only ever get the first effect that occurs in the enchant text file.

That's for OC / MotB enchanting.
SoZ has a somewhat different system, didn't really explore it fully but I don't remember having trouble equiping my merry band toward the end of the campaign with the best available recipes thanks to a warlock PC.

in this post there's a section titled "Warlock love" - you may find it helpful but I find it confusing, and am just fixing things as I go.

Some of the material / info is outdated, probably, but if you really love your Warlocks .. hey, give them a go and it might help tweak things into place (and provide pointers for when things go sideways)

Thanks guys.



I'll push ahead with the 'Lock in SoZ on a 'see what happens' basis.
