The Edusian Warlock and Pact Cultist

Ability Requirements:
-Charisma 15
-Wisdom 13

Prime Requisite: Charisma
Races Allowed: All
THAC0 progression: As Thief
Magic THAC0: THAC0 + Spellcraft bonus + Spell Focus + Modifiers
Saving Throws: As Wizard

As Edus has powers that wax and wane, beings seek to gain more and more power, seeking to become a deity. The way someone gains power is to have mortal creature and beings pray and worship them. The more people worship a being, the more power they gain. These cultists who worship obscure powers for power are called Warlocks.
Warlocks, whose name means "peace-breaker" or "oath-breaker", Warlocks can serve either end of the alignment spectrum, from Angels, Deva and Solars, to demons, devils and evil gods. Warlocks form cults, which function like a witch’s coven but the organization is different. Covens, cults and Grand Covens are discussed on another page HERE.
Because Warlock's spells and magic ability are gifts from a patron that is otherworldly or powerfully omniscient. Their loyalty or prayers to the being are of a religious nature. This is why the Warlock's spell list is a mixture of both Arcane and Divine magic. The spells given to the Warlocks may or may not be identical to the classic spell found from wizards or priests.

• To become a Warlock, a character must have a Dexterity of 12 or more, an intelligence of 13 or more, and a Charisma or 15 or more. The prime requisites are Dexterity and Charisma. A Warlock must be of alignment that matches his Patron. It can be one step away from the patron's alignment but no farther.
  
• This Spellcasting class is not meant for beginners. This class is for someone knowing they seek otherworldly powers to gain and use that power. This is a risky class. There is a higher chance for failure than a normal academic wizard.
• Know this before continuing: This class is for someone bored with normal Wizard, who want to tempt death by taking power from another dimension. You have been warned.

Bonus Non-weapon Proficiencies:
Religion, History (Patron), Writing Non-weapon Proficiencies Required:
History, Spellcraft
Non-weapon Proficiency Crossovers: Priest, General, and Wizard. A Warlock might have the Secondary Skill of Scribe or Alchemist.
Weapon Proficiencies: None required.
Spellcraft modifier: 1/2 CHA loyalty base modifier (eg. a level 1 Warlock with 17 CHA and a spell focus in hand, gets THAC0 20, but a +2(CHA) and a +1 (Spell Focus) so starting the game, gets a +3 to die rolls.

Starting Funds:
Unless otherwise noted (due to a kit or tradition), the Warlock starts out with a number of gold pieces equal to her charisma x 20. The Warlock will also have a symbol to begin their own Spell Focus of The Patron.
The starting gold must be spent: at least half on items for rituals, rare material components, candles, and incense for their prayers to the Patron.

---

Spell Focus:
Most Warlocks also have a Spell Focus. A spell focus is a non-magical item of sentimental value to the Warlock to focus (and often enhance) his magics. Using a spell Focus in one hand will add a bonus to a Spellcraft roll, while not using it can cause a penalty, depending on the spell. The Spell Focus must be in the Warlock's hand in order to use its benefits during a Spellcraft spell. Holding a Spell focus replaces any spells' somatic components for casting.
Weapons & Warlocks
If the Warlock has a Spell Focus in one hand, they can use a weapon in the other. Some use shields, others use a parrying dagger and still others swing a sword. Combat is not unknown to a Warlock, but depending on their Patron, they may be more effective as a caster, or even as a healer.

  Warlock Spellcraft:
A warlock casts his spells from prayers of arcane secrets whispered to them, from their patron. But not all translates properly all the time. The Warlock must roll a d20 for his spellcasting. The Warlock will attempt to cast a spell, rolling a d20 and using his various bonuses and penalties. The final number is then checked on that particular spell list. Many things can affect the final score of the Spellcraft roll:

Warlock Level

Boons or Banes

Gifts

Spell Focus

Magic items

The result of the spell could be very bad, failure, success, very good, or even better!

Spellcraft Roll:
1d20+Focus+Boons+Magic items - Banes= Spellcraft effect roll.


You can find the list of spells written for the Warlock on the Warlock Spell List">

Warlock Abilities:

At first level, your patron's mark on you is either the gift of Eldritch Blast cantrip (see spells), or a mutation to mark you as one of the patron's faithful. This will be handled by the DM.


Patrons Escape:
Starting at 6th level, you can vanish in a puff of mist in response to harm. When you are successfully hit, BEFORE damage is rolled, you can use this ability to turn invisible and teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You remain invisible until the start of your next turn or until you attack or cast a spell.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until after a full 8 hour rest. This ability increases at 9th, 12th, and 19th level.


Patrons Arcanum:
At 6th level, the Warlock can petition his/her patron for a gift called an Arcanum. The Warlock picks one spell, up to 3rd level, and can cast that spell for free once per day.
The Arcanum takes up no spell slot, or components, but the Warlock's spell focus must be in hand when it is cast.


Exorcism Gate:
Starting at 13th level, when you hit a creature with an attack, you can use this feature to instantly transport the target through the lower Planes. The creature disappears and hurtles through a nightmare landscape. At the end of your next turn, the target returns to the space it previously occupied, or the nearest unoccupied space. If the target is not a fiend, it takes 8d10 damage and is stunned 2d6 rounds as it reels from its horrific experience.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you take an 8-hour rest.


Dark Delirium:
Starting at 13th level, you can plunge a creature into an illusory realm. As a power, choose a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. It must make a Wisdom saving throw with penalty to 1/3rd your Cha. On a failed save, it is charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for 1 minute or until your concentration is broken (as if you are concentrating on a spell). This effect ends early if the creature takes any damage. Until this illusion ends, the creature thinks it is lost in a misty realm, the appearance of which you choose.
The creature can see and hear only itself, you, and the illusion. You must rest a full 8 hours before you can use this feature again.

Warlock Pacts

- Pact of the Tome
Pact of the Tome is good for those who want access to different types of spells. With this particular pact, your patron bestows upon you a delightful grimoire full of cantrips from other casters.
Your Spell focus is usually a book ,or tome of spells or prayers to your patron.

-Pact of the Blade
Pact of the Blade lets you use your turn to create a magical pact weapon. This can be anything, from a giant axe to a crossbow. You’re proficient with it - meaning you’ll hit good. As the weapon is magical, it’s handy for fighting wraiths and other spooky beasts that are impervious to physical damage. Using any weapon other than your blade pact will give penalties.

- Pact of the Chain
Pact of the Chain gives you the wonderful Find Familiar spell. Other classes get access to this, but not like the warlock does. These familiars are quite special. They can do all sorts of things, from scouting on little wings, to helping you out in combat. Some of them even talk.
You can pick from an adorable pseudo dragon (a tiny dragon), imp (a tiny devil), quasit (a tiny fiend) or sprite (a tiny fey). Each beastie has unique skills. At higher levels, you can choose to see through their eyes as they travel about.
If your familiar is hurt or killed, the damage is transferred to you. Your familiar can be used as a spell focus and cast through the familiar. if not a totem of the familiar is held when the familiar is away from the warlock.

- Pact of the Talisman
The Pact of the Talisman gives you a magical talisman to use, available no matter your patron, which gives an extra -d4 bonus to any ability checks, no matter who carries it. If the warlock carries the talisman, they get a straight -4 bonus to ability checks. Checks change on a person other than the Warlock if they return the talisman and wait 24 hours.
Also, anyone wearing the talisman of the patron is in telepathic communication with the Warlock.
Higher levels, the talisman can act as a source for warlock ranged touch spells

- Pact of the Maw
This Warlock Pact Boon is exactly what it sounds like. It gives the Warlock an extra mouth somewhere on their body that can be used as a regular mouth, to consume food and such, along with also functioning as extra storage, an arcane focus, or to perform bite attacks.
At higher levels, the extra mouth can cast Patron invocations and also spells on its own that only need verbal components.

-Pact of the Shroud
The Pact of the Shroud allows the Warlock to take a material object of clothing, and consecrate it to their patron. The shroud, or cape, tunic, or vestment as the player prefers, wraps itself around the Warlock and gives them a -1 bonus to their AC and a bonus to saving throws until they die or are dismissed. The shroud doesn't manifest from nothing but is a physical piece of clothing that has been subjected to a certain ritual. At higher levels, the shroud can take on different shapes and deal some damage.
