This warlock patron is called a Trickster. A Trickster is a powerful otherwordly entity: resourceful, cunning, prone to mischief, manipulative, and deceitful. A Trickster upsets rules and conventions, delighting in pushing boundaries to further their goals.

Tricksters occupy a wonderful and delightful place in mythologies and folklore across all of human cultures, and I think that because often they are powerful with magic abilities, but often not gods, they make perfect Warlock patrons.

This warlock subclass is very unique, mixing abilities similar to a druid (shapechanging), divination wizard (changing rolls), and the rune knight (making others the targets of your attacks).

Another one of my older homebrews, this one was for a player who ended up the rescuer of a haunted marionette. I like the idea of a warlock whose patron chose them and only them. Kind of nice, ya know?

You see, if you enter into a pact with me, I'll grant you supreme power in exchange for your service. And you can in turn grant others supreme power in exchange for their service, and so on. It's definitely not a pyramid scheme. Don't look it up.

The Conduit

So heres the conduit! I'm very happy with how this turned out.

The conduit as a class is best described as a "Con Based Martial with spellcaster aesthetics", since, mechanically, it fills a martial role, being a class that doesnt use resources, with a primary party focus on dealing damage, while flavor wise, it goes around slinging blasts of energy at people.

This class mechanically is very much based on the warlock of 3rd edition, with flavour and some mechanical inspiration from the Kineticist of Pathfinder 2e.

The two core design elements that I tried to stick to with making this were 1. Being resourceless and 2. Customizability.

For the first point, none of the class features are limited in uses per day. No feature adds an additional resource for the player to track, nor uses spell slots nor etc. The closest it comes to a resource is its Exertion mechanic, where certain things tire out your conduit character. Though, this serves less as a resource, and more as a temporary debuff, reducing your damage output whilst its in effect, before being easily removed.

The second point is customizability. The first element of this is subclasses. Of course, theres the variety of subclasses to pick from, but notably, is that unlike other classes, you aren't bound to picking just one subclass. From 7th level onwards, whenever you reach your subclass feature level, you can choose to continue advancing in your subclass, or you can take the initial features of a different subclass. This means while you can do a more traditional route of going "I'm the lightning guy, I'm taking lightning every level", you can also do an avatar style "Master of 4 elements" and have 4 different subclasses by level 20. Mix and match them as you like, be the "Fire and Lightning" person, be the "I control water mostly, but also a little bit of ice", combine your elements and so forth.

The next part of customizability is in talents. Talents are very much your classic invocation style feature, of which there are... like. 60 of them at this point. But! Theres a lot of variety in what they do. While you have your choices of ones that give additional powers, like flight or teleportation or whatnot, a large bulk of them are dedicated to one thing: Reshaping your elemental blast. Go out there as a fire guy and blast people with fire, then turn around and literally explode everything around you in flames, then focus your blast into a roaring line of fire that pushes everything within it towards you, and then rush the last man standing with a spear made of literal fire.

The talents are designed around not just being able to reshape and modify your blast in a bunch of different ways, but you can combine them together and do cool stuff.

Because at its core, I wanted to design this class to fill a very specific style of fantasy, and thats of the type of magic you see in some settings where its just "I control this one element", and then from that the mage turns that into a billion different things.

A fire wizard will say "I can cast fire bolt, fire ball, and scorching ray". A fire conduit instead just has an elemental blast, but they can turn that elemental blast into a bolt that is hurled at one person, or have it explode into a ball of flame, or split it into multiple beams.

Its very much a creativity first subclass, and thats whats behind its capstone! The capstone is all of this at its epitomy, the ability to freely reshape your elemental power (By freely, temporarily learning talents) into whatever form you imagine.

Hell, customizability is built even into the very core of its flavour

Yeah <3

I hope you guys enjoyed reading this class as much as I enjoyed writing it and as much as I enjoy talking about it <3

Otherworldly Patron: The Bound Demon | Let's be honest, 'the fiend' patron is just 'the devil'

PDFs of this and more can be found over on at my Patreon here!

Anyone else dislike how the patron in the core rule book is called "The Fiend" when its totally 100% a devil? I did, but since we're all about sealing things this week, let's be a bit anime about this and bind demons inside of children and grant them unfathomable power. This would be different from a part demon which is more of a sorcerer situation.

This was slightly tricky considering canonically, each demon is different (even though mechanically there's only like 5 of them) and that of the few demons there actually are, they share very few properties. Originally I was going to make this subclass customisable, but considering this is customisation: the class, I chose against that. But considering that the high level demons are: demon lords, which are way too specific, and the balor, goristro, and marilith which are melee beat sticks, I needed to go for a more generic form of the sort of 'power' a demonic entity would give.

Demonic Endurance

A little something from our friend, the draconic sorcerer. A consistent throughline of demons is their resilience, considering they need to survive the abyss, so hit points!

Unnatural Presence

This is fun, I like the idea that animals are more innately aware of demons. I extended this to humanoids because while we may not understand it, we generally can feel something is off. But for extra flavour, there is some demon (literally, not in a my great great great great grandpappy was a demon way) in you therefore you should ping as a demon.

Envenomed Blood

Not an ability demons really have, but I felt like I needed to give more than just poison resistance since immunity to poison is the demons' thing, and devils too for some reason, but I'm just going to ignore them, so make the poison resistance from the fact that the blood is literal poison :)

Magic Resistance

I hesitated in giving a form of magic resistance, because not even the devil patron gives it while definitely having it, and I avoided telepathy for the same reason (and because it's the GOO's thing) but here we are. That said, most enemies still like to beat you to a pulp rather than to use spells even at high levels, so it's not that powerful

Abyssal Transformation

And this is me giving in and giving your the big smash, but trying my best not to invalidate any path but bladelock. But all high level demons are big and smashy, so I give you the big hurt.

And now to plug my stuff. I release homebrews weekly over on my Patreon. Anyone who pledges $1 or more per post don't have to wait a month to see them, and also help fund my being alive habit.

At the moment, they have exclusive access to the following:

It's a Trap!

Judgement Domain

The Greatwyrm Patron

Breaking and Exiting

I also have three classes, and a splatbook over on DriveThrueRPG to check out:

The Rift Binder. A class specialising in summoning monsters and controlling the battlefield.

The Witch Knight. A class that combines swords and sorcery in the most literal way.

The Werebeast. A class that turns you into a half beast to destroy your foes.

d'Artagnan's Adventurer Almanac. A compendium of races, subclasses, feats, spells, monsters and more!

Let's change a bit today's menu with Northstar! This is a small part of an adoptable I've been working on, which is very star-themed~

Back in September, the two swords I made had a good reception, and I've been itching ever since to design more weapons. This one here is just my attempt to scratch that itch. Is this something you'd like to see more from me?

(as usual, reblogs are much appreciated!)

Pact of the Wolf (a DND 5e Homebrew inspired by Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and Dimension 20: Neverafter)

Death is the Great Equalizer. Though they may slip through the fingers of time, fairies, fiends, and celestials alike know to fear and respect Her, and even the undead can only substract themselves from Her grasp for so long.

Thus, many mortals come to see Death as the paramount example of persistence hunting in the wild: a wolf. This aspect is apparently not distasteful to Her, as the mortals who embrace inevitabilty and forge a pact with Her manifest Her powers through the form of a mighty wolf.

These mortals, nicknamed the Sheep-Clothed, are often only asked by Death not to interfere with the natural circle of life. However, while some of the powers She grants are geared towards dealing death and destroying undead, others have the sole purpose of defying Death Herself.

We can only speculate as to why Death would arm the Sheep-Clothed with the tools to fight Her. Perhaps, like the wolves She is compared to, She enjoys the chase. Perhaps She understands that a natural part of the circle of life is mortals fiercely defending their lives. Or perhaps She wants to teach us that even with the powers of Death at their sides, everyone eventually becomes Her subject.

Oath Spells

The Wolf lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

1st level: hunter's mark, inflict wounds

3rd: gentle repose, phantasmal force

5th: life transference, phantom steed

7th: greater invisibility, mordenkainen's faithful hound

9th: enervation, reincarnate

I Just Love The Smell Of Fear

At 1st level, your patron emboldens you at the familiar sight of someone being terrified to die. When you deal damage to an enemy who is frightened of you within 15 ft using a 1st level or higher spell, you can add your proficiency bonus to the damage.

Hasta La Muerte

At 6th level, you welcome the inevitability of Death, allowing you to partially let go of your life to act one last time. While you are at 0 hitpoints, Before making a death saving throw, you can cast a spell on a creature other than you on your turn. When you do so, you suffer one failed death save.

I Welcome Your Defiance

At 10th level, the power of the Great Equalizer lets you spread Her icy embrace to all your allies, weakening its coldness. When an ally within 30 ft of you fails a death save, you can use your reaction to transfer the failed save to another willing creature within 30 ft of you.

The willing creature remains conscious if they still have remaining hitpoints, but die instantly once they receive their third failed save, no matter their remaining hitpoints. You can only transfer one failed save per reaction.

Waiting At The End Of Every Story

At 14th level, you learn to salvage the raw potential of a life meeting a brutal, early end. When you kill a spellcasting creature, you gain a temporary spell slot of half the level of the spellcaster's highest unexpended spell slot (rounded up).

If you haven't used the temporary spell slot by the end of your next turn, its unstable magical power unravels, dealing you 1d8 necrotic damage per spell level. This damage cannot be reduced in any way.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

This warlock patron is El-Ahrairah, the Prince of Rabbits, who takes the form of a giant, otherwordly rabbit. Known as a trickster, El-Ahrairah takes pleasure in pulling pranks, causing mischief, and promoting general chaos. However, El-Ahrairah is much more noble and good than his reputation or deeds might first indicate. On closer inspection, his targets for trickery are always those who oppress, control, or harass the small, weak, and powerless. He is also a fierce defender of the natural world, and is well-respected among druids, fey, and races such as elves and gnomes; though they don't always agree with his methods. This warlock subclass offers a melee alternative compared to the Hexblade or a Bladelock multiclass, fun trickster spells, and evasion/utility. The El-Ahrairah patron is based off of Richard Adam's excellent novel Watership Down.

I loved the idea of a DnD Warlock, or maybe their patron, whose heart was turned into an magic item. We were finally able to get an illustration of it and it looks better than I imagined!

And for those who may ask, RAW, if you use Eldritch Blast at higher levels, even though it fires three individual blasts it is still only one cast of the cantrip. So you don't get the +5 damage per. Unless your DM wants to rule it that way, then go nuts! :)

Old Warlock’s Ticker

Wondrous Item, very rare (requires attunement)

“No one knows who this heart originally belonged to, but it’s still beating though it pumps no blood. The flesh is blackened and the face of a timepiece is embedded in the center, tick tick ticking away.” While attuned to this magic item you have an extra spell slot of your highest level.

Whenever you cast a cantrip you can add your spellcasting ability modifier to the damage done.

If you roll a 1 on the d20 for a death saving throw, this magic item is destroyed and you are healed to half of your maximum hit points. Join us on Twitch every Mon\Wed\Fri to create new Homebrews and check out our Patreon for 464+ magic items, tokens, maps, and more.

Pact Boon: The Chalice

While Warlock subclasses tend to primarily focus on theming, pact boons tend more towards the mechanical side of things, informing the general playstyle of a character. The Pact of the Chalice offers warlocks aside from the Celestial a variety of ways to support teammates, with health restoration, status cleansing, damage mitigation, and spell restoration.

I'd like to thank my players for giving me the inspiration to make this happen. Without them, the world would never have had the opportunity to consume this chalice.

Links will be in the reblogs, as usual. Only Homebrewery and Google Drive - DNDBeyond doesn't support homebrew pact boons.
