-<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Eldritch Blast (Su):</font></b>";</php> The first ability a warlock learns is eldritch blast.  A warlock attacks his foes with eldritch power, using baleful magical energy to deal damage and sometimes impart other debilitating effects.  An eldritch blast is a ray with a range of 60 feet. It is a ranged touch attack that affects a single target, allowing no saving throw.  An eldritch blast deals damage equal to 1d6 + the warlock’s Cha modifier at 1st level and increases in power as the warlock rises in level. An eldritch blast is the equivalent of a 1st level spell.  If you apply a blast shape or eldritch essence invocation to your eldritch blast (see Complete Arcane page 130), your eldritch blast is considered a spell equivalent to the highest level of the shape or essence.An eldritch blast is subject to spell resistance, although the Spell Penetration feat and other effects that improve caster level checks to overcome spell resistance also apply to eldritch blast.  An eldritch blast deals half damage to objects.  Metamagic feats cannot improve a warlock’s eldritch blast (because it is a spell-like ability, not a spell).  However, the feat Ability Focus (eldritch blast) increases the DC for all saving throws (if any) associated with a warlock’s eldritch blast by 2 (see page 303 of the Monster Manual).+<php>echo "<b><font color=\"#FFC671\">Eldritch Blast (Su):</font></b>";</php> The first ability a warlock learns is //eldritch blast//.  A warlock attacks his foes with eldritch power, using baleful magical energy to deal damage and sometimes impart other debilitating effects.  An //eldritch blast// is a ray with a range of 60 feet.
