Personal history

Fabian Goldstein was initially born as Fabian Thoreau. He believes that his mother abandoned him after a year or so, only leaving him a wooden coin with a winking imp on the front and the imp's tail wrapped around a bag of gold on the back along with her brownish orange bandanna. He was primarily raised by Iron, a cigar smoking imp with a love of wealth who commonly takes the form of a raven. At first, the relationship between the two was of an unwilling master tending to a child due to Fabian being a little over a two years old. Iron, for reasons he will not explain, kept Fabian alive during those times and as he grew up the two developed a father/son relationship.   Around his fourteenth year of life, Fabian was elevated to Upper Crystallis by Jeremy Goldstein via a scholarship into the Academy and a formal adoption into House Fortuna. The years were not kind due to Fabian's affliction, but he endured with not only Iron but also Clemens Von Wulfengeist, his closest friend. Fabian learned little about his condition but he did learn to better control his curse. After taking his graduation exam, he sticks close to Clemens and continues his research into the history of Arhor'ha in an effort to find the locations of valuable artifacts and a way to combat his curse. However, he had a deal to keep. Clemens suffered because of being Fabian's friend so the two decided to part ways.   Or perhaps not. As time progresses and wisdom sets in, slowly Fabian became more and more aware of the severity of his condition and, seeking not to hamper Clemens by making things worse for him, told him that he planned to leave in order to find a cure.

Proficiences
Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. You learn additional warlock cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Warlock table.

Spell Slots
The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your warlock spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.

For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell Witch Bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the warlock spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Warlock table shows when you learn more warlock spells of your choice of 1st level or higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new warlock spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the warlock spells you know and replace it with another spell from the warlock spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells, so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.
Spellcasting
Traveler's clothes, Dice set, Wooden Coin with a Smirking Imp on one side (Arcane Focus), Scholar's Pack, Leather Armor, Sling, Dagger
