# Warlock Subclass: Corporate Patron
There are many dark magicks in this world, but none is so insidious, so terrifying, or so easy to miss as the true threat: late-stage capitalism. While your patron may or may not be an actual corporate executive, they know that money is its own magic, and the magic of money, its own power. Corporate patrons include Bill Seacaster, insurrectionist of the Nine Hells; Robert Moses, architect of the five burroughs; scholarship programs for adventuring schools; or celestial beings of Waukeen, the goddess of trade and commerce.
### Open Trade
The spellcasting provided by your Pact Magic feature functions differently for you than for other warlocks. When you take this class at first level, you ignore the listed material components for any spell you cast. In exchange, you instead incur a minor fee for each casting.
You may choose to give your patron money each time you cast, or you can purchase a plan which you pay for at the beginning of each month. Your patron may choose to offer sales or deals if you purchase in bulk. When using pay-per-use, the money is automatically consumed from your funds when you cast a spell; when on a plan, your may conduct a ritual at the beginning of the month.
In the monthly plan, your price is multiplied by each cantrip and each spell slot available to you. If you receive higher spell slots in between payments, you automatically transfer to a pay-per-use cost for those spell slots until you can next make a monthly payment.
Spells from Eldritch Invocations that are cast at will are always pay-per-use, and take the cost of whichever spell slot the eldritch invocation marks it as. The spells provided by your Mystic Arcanum are considered bonuses for your customer loyalty; you may ignore their material components without having to spend money.
##### Corporate Payment Plans
| Spell Level | Pay-Per-Use Cost | Monthly Plan Cost
|:----:|:-------------| :--------------
| Cantrip | 5 sp | 25 gp
| 1st | 1 gp | 25 gp
| 2nd | 5 gp | 50 gp
| 3rd | 10 gp | 50 gp
| 4th | 25 gp | 100 gp
| 5th | 35 gp | 100 gp
### Expanded Spell List
Corporate Warlocks may choose from an expanded list of spells when they gain a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
Some of these spells come from sourcebooks outside of the Player's Handbook, including Acquisitions Incorporated (AI) and Xanathar's Guide to Everything (XGtE). Such spells have been marked with their source.

### Appraisal
Starting at 1st level, you have a preternatural understanding of money and its value. You can know the market value of any item by looking at it, and you have advantage on persuasion checks to bargain or trade.
### Pyramid Scheme
Starting at 6th level, you understand that the easiest way to cripple a company is not with one CEO, but with many workers. Once per turn when you take the Attack action or cast a cantrip that uses an attack roll, you can make another attack against a different creature within 5 feet of the original target that is within range. You can use your bonus action to use this feature a second time within a turn.
### Business Sense
Starting at 10th level, you have grown wise to the ways of business and guile. You are immune to the *charmed* condition. When you roll an ability check that uses the CHA skill, you may treat any roll of 7 or lower as an 8.
### Candy From a Baby
Starting at 14th level, you have completed the cycle, and have gone from spending money to making money. Once per turn, you can choose to deal an extra 2d8 force damage to a target that you have hit with a melee or spell attack roll. You gain GP equal to the roll.
