Warlock

Warlocks are driven by an insatiable need for knowledge and power, which compels them into their pacts and shapes their lives. This thirst drives warlocks into their pacts and shapes their later careers as well. Stories of warlocks binding themselves to fiends are widely known. But many warlocks serve patrons that are not fiendish. Sometimes a traveler in the wilds comes to a strangely beautiful tower, meets its fey lord or lady, and stumbles into a pact without being fully aware of it. And sometimes, while poring over tomes of forbidden lore, a brilliant but crazed student’s mind is opened to realities beyond the material world and to the alien beings that dwell in the outer void. Once a pact is made, a warlock’s thirst for knowledge and power can’t be slaked with mere study and research. No one makes a pact with such a mighty patron if he or she doesn’t intend to use the power thus gained. Rather, the vast majority of warlocks spend their days in active pursuit of their goals, which typically means some kind of adventuring. Furthermore, the demands of their patrons drive warlocks toward adventure.

In addition to the abilities provided by your class at 1st level, you have the benefits of your selected ancestry and background.

At 1st level, you gain a focus pool with 3 focus points, you also gain the Commune Action.

ELDRITCH BLAST

Starting at 1st level, you can make Eldritch Blast attacks that deal 1d10 damage and have a 50 ft. range. This damage is Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing. The damage type can be changed each comune. They have the nonlethal and unarmed traits. The weapon group depends on the damage type, Club for Bludgeoning, Spear for Piercing, and Sword for Slashing. If you fail a Commune you lose access to this attack until you succeed at a Commune.

An Eldritch Blast’s appearance varies from Warlock to Warlock. A colored beam or bolt of energy is typical, although some Warlocks’ blasts have more exotic appearances, such as crystalline projectiles, spectral tentacles, or thrown playing cards. The appearance of your Eldritch Blast is up to you.

OTHERWORLDLY PATRON

At 1st level, you have struck a bargain with an otherworldly being of your choice. The patron you select will determine your spell list, give you training in a skill, and at least one feat. Attached to each patron is a pledge.

Warlock Pledge

Each patron requires the Warlock to pledge something. Some patrons have multiple pledges, pick the one that fits your Warlock the most. Each pledge has two parts, the Edict and the punishment. If the Warlock wishes to break the Edict they must attempt an average diplomacy check during their next Commune to convince their Patron that they are still loyal. If the Patron is not convinced they receive the punishment listed and the Commune activity fails. After a failed Commune the Warlock cannot attempt another Commune that day. Also after a failed commune you cannot gain any Warlock abilities from daily preparations. Each Pledge has a specific requirement to regain the trust of the Patron, after fulfilling the requirements the next time you Commune the activity succeeds. At the GMs discretion enough failed Communes may cause the Warlock to lose the Patron permanently. This would cause the Warlock to lose all Warlock levels or worse.

The Archfey:

Your patron is a lord or lady of the fey, a creature of legend who holds secrets that were forgotten before the mortal races were born. This being's motivations are often inscrutable, and sometimes whimsical, and might involve striving for greater magical power or the settling of age-old grudges.

Your spell list is primal. You are trained in the nature skill. You gain the Fey Presence Feat or the Domain Initiate Feat for free. Fey Domains depend on the individual Fey.

Summer/Spring Fey tend to have the domains Sun, Nature, Passion, Fire, Earth, Luck, Dreams, or Freedom.

Archfey Discovery Pledge

Edict: You agree to never break a promise or oath, holding to the strict letter of the deal. (The spirit of the deal is irrelevant.) You must also give your patron an interesting secret or item every day. (This is highly campaign dependent. The GM should give ample opportunity for the Warlock to find a secret or item each day.)

Punishment: You are cursed with bad luck and must roll twice on all d20 rolls and use the lower result. This lasts until you bring your patron an item impressive enough (higher than your level) or a secret interesting enough for them.

Archfey Fortune Pledge

This Pledge can only be taken with GM approval as it makes you a jerk to your allies.

Edict: You agree to never break a promise or oath, holding to the strict letter of the deal. (The spirit of the deal is irrelevant.) During each encounter you must curse an ally with misfortune. For the first five d20 roll the cursed ally makes and they have to roll twice and take the worst result. The ally knows they are cursed.

Punishment: You are cursed with bad luck and must roll twice on all d20 rolls and use the lower result. This lasts until you curse an ally with a greater misfortune. This would cause them to roll twice on all d20 rolls and use the lower result for a full 24 hours.

The Celestial:

Your patron is a powerful being of the Upper Planes. You have bound yourself to an ancient empyrean, solar, ki-rin, unicorn, or other entity that resides in the planes of everlasting bliss. Your pact with that being allows you to experience the barest touch of the holy light that illuminates the multiverse. Being connected to such power can cause changes to your behavior and beliefs. You might find yourself driven to annihilate the undead, to defeat fiends, and to protect the innocent. At times, your heart might also be filled with a longing for the celestial realm of your patron, a desire to wander that paradise for the rest of your days. But you know that your mission is among mortals for now and that your pact binds you to bring light to the dark places of the world.

Your spell list is Divine.You gain the ability to use the Light Cantrip. You are trained in the religion skill. You also gain the Healing Light Feat or the Domain Initiate Feat for free.

Celestial Protection Pledge

Edict: You agree to not take help from an evil outsider. Your first priority in battle must be helping the innocent and vulnerable bystanders, either healing them or helping them escape.

Punishment: You feel the weight of your sins upon you. This weight removes your ability to think properly. You count as not being proficient (although you still add your level) on all things you are trained or above in. This lasts until you help a number of innocents equal to level.

Celestial Pacifism Pledge

Edict: You agree to not take help from an evil outsider. Your must attempt diplomacy, stealth or some other non violent way of solving each encounter.

Punishment: Those who live by the sword die by the sword. You lose all armor proficiency. This lasts until you avoid a battle against someone at least your level -2 by using diplomacy, stealth, or some similar ability.

The Fiend:

You have made a pact with a fiend from the lower planes of existence, a being whose aims are evil, even if you strive against those aims. Such beings desire the corruption or destruction of all things, ultimately including you. Fiends powerful enough to forge a pact include demon lords, archdevils, pit fiends and balors that are especially mighty.

Punishment: The Demon lowers your total HP by half. This lasts until you draw blood (a number of hit points equal to your level) from a Cleric, Paladin, or holy character and offer the blood to your patron.

The Great Old One:

Your patron is a mysterious entity whose nature is utterly foreign to the fabric of reality. It might come from the Far Realm, the space beyond reality, or it could be one of the elder gods known only in legends. Its motives are incomprehensible to mortals, and its knowledge so immense and ancient that even the greatest libraries pale in comparison to the vast secrets it holds. The Great Old One is unaware of your existence or entirely indifferent to you, but the secrets you have learned allow you to draw your magic from it.

Your spell list is Occult.You are trained in the occult skill. All Charisma based Warlock Class abilities are Wisdom based instead. You can choose Wisdom as your key ability score. You gain the Awakened Mind Feat or the Domain Initiate Feat for free.

Great Old One Domains depend on the individual being. They tend to be from the following list: Cities, Fate, Undeath, Knowledge, Magic, Nightmares, Secrecy, Freedom

The Hexblade:

You have made your pact with a mysterious entity – a force that manifests in sentient magic weapons carved from the stuff of shadow.

The shadowy force behind these weapons can offer power to warlocks who form pacts with it.

Avatar of the Pact

Your extensive service has made you a lesser herald of your patron, which affords you certain privileges. First, any creature you encounter knows instinctively that you speak for your patron. Second, if you conduct the commune ritual to contact your patron, you don’t have to pay any cost and you automatically get a critical success. Third, once per day, you can cast plane shift as an innate spell, but only to travel to the realm of your patron. When you cast it this way, its casting time is 1 minute, your pact boon is a sufficient tuning fork for this spell, and you appear exactly where you want to be. If you’re in your patron’s realm due to this spell, you can return to the point you left when you cast it by spending a single action, which has the concentrate and arcane/divine/occult/primal (depending on patron) traits.

Additional Invocations

You gain two Warlock feats of level 18 or lower.

Mighty Focus

Your Focus Pool maximum increases to 7. You have 7 focus points.
