I love the themes the warlock class bring to the table. Any character who wound up pledging himself to some sort of mysterious (Great old one), downright weird (Archfey), or devil (Fiend) will almost always have some sort of interesting backstory which is fun to explore in game.
However, the warlock subclasses in of themselves are pretty limited. Playing a warlock of Dagon, a demon lord of the abyss who resides in water, gives you the same classic "kill them all with fire" benefits as playing a warlock of Asmodeus. This is my attempt to change this.
Considering the absurd amount of homebrew I've been coming up with lately, I feel like it would be prudent of me to make one big thread with links to all my specific warlock patrons. Below I've put all the warlock patron subclasses I've made into nice categories for your convenience. Furthermore, if you're looking for a warlock subclass that has general features, you're in luck! I've provided brief descriptions of each warlock class right after the link to it.

If you use any of these warlock subclasses in a game, post a link to the game in this thread or send me a pm! I don't have the ability to playtest all of these personally, so I'd love to see how these classes work for you guys.
