Level 1: Eldritch Pact
You have forged a pact with mysterious entities that grant you your arcane powers. If you forged a pact with the ancient, amoral denizens of the Feywild, you have forged a fey pact, granting you potent fey magic both enchanting and terrifying. If you have forged a pact with the diabolic fiends from the Nine Hells, you have forged an infernal pact, and wield powerful invocations of shadow and flame. If you have forged a pact with the mysterious lords of the Far Realms, you have forged a star pact, which you use to horrify your foes and drive them to madness.
You choose one of the following pacts and receive the associated benefits.

Fey Pact
Benefit: You gain the following benefits.
Your familiar is a Gloom Sprite.
You gain the pact boon and pact curse associated with your pact.
You gain a +2 bonus to Bluff checks.

Infernal Pact
Benefit: You gain the following benefits.
Your familiar is a Witchfire Imp.
You gain the pact boon and pact curse associated with your pact.
You gain a +2 bonus to Intimidate checks.

Star Pact
Benefit: You gain the following benefits.
Your familiar is a Floating Eye.
You gain the pact boon and pact curse associated with your pact.
You gain a +1 bonus to knowledge checks.

Level 1: Warlock's Familiar
Your benefactor has sent one of its lesser servants to boost your powers (and perhaps keep an eye on you).
Benefit: You gain an arcane familiar determined by your eldritch pact.

Passive Mode Most of the time, your familiar is in passive mode. While in this mode, your familiar is present in this world only in spirit form, and can only be seen or heard by you. It cannot leave your space, manipulate objects, or be harmed in any way while in passive mode. You still receive the benefits of your familiar tied specifically to passive mode, however.

Active Mode When you use your manifest familiar power, your familiar physically manifests on the plane you are currently occupying. You must use your own actions to command your familiar, and if it is destroyed, you lose a healing surge and cannot gain the benefits of your familiar (either active or passive) until you take an extended rest to recall your familiar. At the end of an extended rest, your familiar reappears in your space in passive mode. The game statistics of your familiar are based on your eldritch pact.

Level 1: Warlock's Curse
Benefit: You gain the warlock's curse power.

Warlock's Curse (Warlock Utility)
With an eldritch utterance, you place a vile curse upon your foe. When you attack your cursed enemies, their suffering is increased.
At-Will (Special) ✦ Arcane
Minor Action (Close burst sight)
Target: The enemy nearest to you that you can see
Effect: You place your warlock's curse on the target, which remains in effect until the creature drops to 0 hit points or until the end of the encounter. Once per turn, when you or your familiar hits a target under the effect of your warlock's curse with an attack, you can choose to have the attack deal 1d6 extra damage. You can affect multiple enemies with your warlock's curse, but you only deal extra damage to one of them on a given turn.
Level 11: 2d6 extra damage.
Level 21: 3d6 extra damage.
Special: You can use this power only once per round.

Level 1: Eldritch Blast
Benefit: You gain the eldritch blast power. Even if you obtain eldritch blast from another source, a thaumaturge cannot choose to use Constitution for the power's attack rolls or damage rolls.

Eldritch Blast (Warlock Attack 1)
You fire a bolt of dark, crackling eldritch energy at your foe.
At-Will ✦ Arcane, Implement
Standard Action (Ranged 10)
Target: One creature
Attack: Charisma vs. Reflex
Hit: 1d10 + Charisma modifier damage.
Level 21: 2d10 + Charisma modifier damage.
Special: You can use this power as a ranged basic attack.

Level 1: Manifest Familiar
Benefit: You gain the manifest familiar power.

Manifest Familiar (Warlock Attack)
With an arcane command, you call forth your familiar to manifest its true form on this plane. Eldritch whispers emanate from a location a short distance from you, as your servant appears with a puff of smoke.
Daily ✦ Arcane, Summoning
Requirement: Your familiar must be in passive mode.
Minor Action (Ranged 5)
Effect: Your familiar switches to active mode, appearing in an unoccupied square in range. Your familiar is an ally to you and your allies.
Your familiar lacks actions of its own. Instead, you spend actions to command it mentally, choosing from the actions in the familiar's description. You must have line of effect to your familiar to command it. When you command your familiar, you and your familiar share knowledge but not senses. On your turn, you can use a minor action to command your familiar to walk, shift, run, fly (if it has a fly speed), teleport (if it has a teleport speed), stand up, squeeze, or crawl.
When your familiar makes a check, you make the roll using your game statistics, not including any temporary bonuses or penalties.
Your familiar remains in active mode until it drops to 0 hit points, at which point you lose a healing surge (or hit points equal to your surge value if you have no surges left), and your familiar remains absent until you take an extended rest, at which point your familiar reforms in your space in passive mode. Otherwise, it remains in active mode until you command it to return to passive mode as a minor action or until you take an extended rest.

Invocations
As a thaumaturge, you are distinct from other warlocks in that you do not attack with spells granted by your pact. Instead, you rely on your familiar, summoned allies, and your eldritch blast to achieve victory. While eldritch blast is a relatively simple spell, you have discovered a way to use it in a more versatile and effective manner: through arcane powers known as invocations. There are two types of invocations you know, shape invocations which change its form and range, and essence invocations which increase and alter its potency.
You can use only one shape invocation per turn, and only one essence invocation per turn, unless you spend an action point. If you spend an action point, you can use different invocations, but you can still only apply the effects of one shape invocation and one essence invocation to the use of a given power (if an attack is in and of itself one of these types of invocations, you can't use that type of invocation with it).

Level 1: Least Invocation (Blast Shape)
Blast shape invocations change how you use your eldritch blast by altering its form.
Benefit: You gain one of the following powers of your choice.

Okay, so, what I'm seeing is the E-Martial design theory applied to the warlock's eldritch blast? Is that right? :smallconfused:

Kind of, yes. But rather than substitute small passive benefits for dailies, the thaumaturge will have summoned creatures (and a semi-permanent familiar, that's more like the cavalier's celestial steed).

It's intended as a throwback to the 3.5 warlock and its invocations, partially.

So far it seems very playable.

Some minor updates. Included are:
Formatting changes. Shape invocations are now generally no action powers that alter the next use of eldritch blast this turn, while essence invocations are standard actions which allow you to use eldritch blast.
The above was done primarily to clear any confusion about whether elements specific to damage types and keywords applied to eldritch blast when used with invocations.
Since the reformatting changed what were once essentially "guaranteed hits" on the essence evocations, they now have miss effects like wizard encounter powers. The miss effects are generally weak.
Familiars now have weak melee attacks that help them escape melee combat. They heavily prioritize making these attacks as far as instinctive effects go.

Current planned class direction:
Greater Invocations at levels 13 and 17 replace Lesser Invocations. Dark Invocations replace Greater Invocations at levels 23 and 27. Paragon path and pact reward encounter powers remain static.
More least invocations at levels 18 and 28. Possible paragon path feature: turn a lesser shape invocation into an at-will power?
Better familiars! The warlock's familiar will reach a new level of power at levels 19 and 29. Possibly 11 as well, could be a feature tied to the paragon path.
More summoned creatures! The summon warlock's ally spell will be granted access to more powerful creatures at levels 15 and 25.

Eldritch Blast should have the same stats as the original. Also, Fort is a bad defense for your only (except when counting Hideous Strike) at-will to target, since it's commonly the second-highest defense after AC, and in some monsters is equal to it.

I actually agree, I originally did that because I was too lazy to go to each essence invocation and change the defense it targeted. Changed that. Now the essence invocations can change the defense eldritch blast targets in addition to damage types.

In addition, I redesigned the pact rewards to be (in my opinion) more interesting. Some other minor changes here and there on individual powers. Note that because of the character limit, there is some spillover on the radiant star spawn into the paragon thaumaturge post (which I will start working on soon).

Added the paragon thaumaturge, including the dark thaumaturge paragon path. Formatting for the summoned creatures and manifested familiars will use the new formatting from now on, eventually, I'll get around to reformatting the heroic tier versions to be consistent.

Haven't forgotten about this. Made some significant changes to the paragon thaumaturge (especially the dark thaumaturge paragon path), and added a preliminary version of the epic thaumaturge. Open to all suggestions, feedback, and nitpicks!
