Manual[]
11/18/2008 - I have added as much as I can about the Hellfire Warlock from the Storm of Zehir Manual, but I do not yet own the game, and would like anyone who does to verify contents and bring this page up to date with the current in game implementation. - sidvicious1985 —This unsigned comment is by Sidvicious1985 (wall • contribs) 17:34, November 18, 2008 .

Constitution damage bug[]
I have Storms of Zehir and made a Hellfire Warlock. On a whim, I equipped him with an item that prevented ability damage, and discovered that he was still able to use his Hellfire Blast and Shield, but now took no Constitution damage from it. I edited the page to say as much. —This unsigned comment is by 98.233.210.6 (wall) 02:35, October 25, 2009. Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
Hellfire Shield DC[]
Hellfire Shield doesn't appear to use Character lvl. Level 12 Character, only 6 Warlock 3 Hellfire, 5 Charisma bonus, should be DC 10 + 1/2(12) + 5= 21 DC for Hellfire Shield, however it appears to use half of your Invoker Level instead, as the DC is 19. 10 + 1/2(9) +5 = 19.5, rounds down to 19. Don't want to edit the main article until someone else confirms. 97.77.53.235 06:45, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
- This seems like it is probably the Warlock caster level bug, where only half invoker level is applied to DCs. —This unsigned comment is by 94.193.221.42 (wall) 18:18, March 29, 2010. Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
Summon Baatezu[]
I have yet to see it summon neeshka (the companion from the original campaign?? It seems to summon the same guys that were in Jerro's lair or under his control. I get mephasm a lot. If it does summon her, that has to be either a joke or a bug.
Of note: word of changing gives you a very high con score and you can toggle on hellfire shield. This can destroy large packs of annoying enemy in a hurry, for exampel MOTB ghost groups where you fight 20 wraiths or 10 spirt badgers or the like. Naturally this pales beside aoe doom blasting BUT in demon form you are all but immortal against weak creatures while your regular form may be easier to hit/kill. It is a useful trick in a couple of specific parts of the game, most notably if you have no gear yet in a new adventure. Once well geared and max level you will have as good or better stats as the demon form and there is little benefit. 66.18.49.84 15:43, February 25, 2013 (UTC)J
Neeshka can be summoned, but appears only rarely as a taller version of the companion to the PC as a level 12 rogue and level 8 outsider. It is amusing to see her standing right next to the "real" Neeshka. As for a Joke Baatezu summons, that would be Avernus Fried Chicken, a level 18 outsider which appears as a chicken wreathed in the fiery flames of hell. I saw this easter egg once and had to take several screenshots, as I didn't think anyone would believe I summoned such a creature. It was a tough old bird to kill.
Cannot use hellfire blast, possibly other hellfire warlock abilities as well.[]
I created this character for Mask of Betrayer and when I finally leveled the character high enough to invest in hellfire warlock, I couldn't figure out how to use his hellfire blast. It's not in the quickcast like his other invocations, it's not in the little menu that lets you toggle stealth/tracking/power attacks, it's not even an option when I right click the character himself. I even looked in his feats, where his special abilities would normally be listed. Fiendish resilience is there, hellfire blast is not. What on earth is going on here?
Also, not a tech person. Please keep it simple. Yeah, I've gained exactly zilch from taking 3 levels of hellfire warlock.

- First, don't use custom formatting please. Do you have anything in your override folders? (see Installation directories for location) GFallen (talk) 13:24, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
Is there a fix for the blast dice damage? Or a way to fix it?
What specifically is the blast dice damage problem you are looking to fix? Raelind, July 20, 2021
Levels in Hellfire warlock class are supposed to increase Eldritch Blast dice damage and caster level at the same rate as normal warlock. The latter works, but the former doesn't, as this page correctly mentions. For example, both 17warlock and 14warlock/3HW should have 8d6 blast but the latter will only have 7d6 in the game. My minimal scripting skills are only enough to fix an occasional misbehaving spell but definitely not this. So, is there a fix or atleast some guedelines on how to fix the HW bug? Sorry for bad English.
Don't worry about your English. I'm glad you're here. Unfortunately, I'm unaware of any fix for the fact that Hellfire Warlock levels do not advance Warlock blast dice damage as they should. Kaedrin's patch does, but in my opinion Kaedrin's is more of a complete overhaul and addition to the game than mere bug fixes. Raelind, July 21, 2021
Favored Soul + Hellfire Warlock[]
Through an unorthodox build I was playing around with, I stumbled upon the fact that Hellfire Warlock levels actually progress Favored Soul spellcasting levels! After taking 8 Favored Soul levels (enough to just barely unlock level 4 spellcasting), I took 3 Hellfire Warlock levels and then finally a 9th Favored Soul level- to my surprise, this suddenly unlocked both 5th and 6th-level spellcasting for the Favored Soul. (This might extend to other classes, but I have only tested Hellfire Warlock with the Warlock and Favored Soul.) Bushwhacker2k (talk) 17:40, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, I think this might be due to the feat Alertness, though I'm not entirely certain how this bug actually works. Bushwhacker2k (talk) 22:07, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
