The Warlock

"When man found magic, magic found man, and it was pleased." Edric Tenok, the Defiler, Arch-Lich of the Ebon Tide.

For thousands of years mortal races have coveted the power of magic. While first it was fear that ruled, then a few found ways to draw this power. The druids made friends with the being of nature, but those that knew more terrible forces exist made deals with the dark.

Mana: A Warlock's primary method of fueling their abilities is a pool of magical force known as mana. The Warlock's base mana pool consists of 100 points, which are drained away as they use their abilities. A Warlock recovers a number of points of mana equal to their Constitution modifier each hour and fully restores their mana pool after resting for at least eight hours.

In addition to the base amount of mana available to them, a Warlock also receives bonus mana equal to their Charisma modifier times six. Calculate this additional mana when the Warlock rests to recover their mana pool entirely.

Vile Means (Su): The warlock's first lesson is how souls are invaluable resources. The warlocks second lesson is how fragile their own soul is. The warlocks third lesson is how easy it is to remove the souls from others especially the dying. The warlock gains an evil aura as if an outsider of their character level. The warlock additionally gains the spell Soul Siphon as a bonus spell known and learns the ritual Soul Harvest 5th level.

Spells: A warlock casts arcane spells drawn primarily from the warlock spell list. They can cast any spell they know without preparing it ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a warlock must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a warlock's spell is 10 + the spell level + the sorcerer's Charisma modifier.
Un-like other spellcasters, a warlock can cast spells as long as they have enough mana to do so.
A warlock's selection of spells is limited. A warlock begins play knowing three 1st level spells of their choice. At each new warlock level, they gain one or more new spells, as indicated on table under Spells Known. (The number of spells a warlock knows is not affected by their Charisma score; the numbers on the table column Spells Known are fixed.) These new spells can be common spells chosen from the warlock’s spell list, or they can be unusual spells that the warlock has gained some understanding of through study.
Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered warlock level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), a warlock can choose to learn a new spell in place of one they already know. In effect, the warlock loses the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell's level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged. A warlock may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that they gain new spells known for the level.
Unlike a wizard or a cleric, a warlock does not need to prepare their spells in advance. They can cast any spell they know at any time, assuming they have enough mana and other resources.

Spell Research: The warlock spends hours stepped in research, while a wizard is often limited in resources, finding "tutors" of dark magic are much more available, but often as dangerous as they are available. The KP column represents the amount of free KP gained each level to apply to any research project. This KP requires no dedicated time to be applied to research, and ignores all requirements other than level.

Rituals: A warlock’s first experiences with magic are not the quick spells they say in the heat of battle, but long incantations that can make months to master. A warlock begins play knowing 1 ritual of their choice, from the warlock’s ritual list. These rituals are far more complex and standard memorization is not an option, so they must be kept in a Grimoire(see Ritual Rules).

Spell Accuracy (Ex): Through extensive use of spells the warlock has learned the best ways to target their enemies. The warlock gains the benefit of precise shot only when dealing with spells. Starting at the 5th level and every 3 levels there after the warlock gains a bonus to hit in regards to spells, +1 at 5th, +2 at 8th, +3 at 11th, and so on.

Esoteric Ascension, Advanced Research

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Mages are proficient with all simple weapons. Mages are not proficient with any armor or shields.

Esoteric Research: Mages spend many hours in research whether in the library, the lab, or in the field. At the first level and every odd level there after the mage gains 5 + Intelligence modifier research points to spread between each specialization. The mage gains 3 + their intelligence modifier(min 3) research points every even level. These points may be conserved between levels. An individual specialization cannot have more research points invested then you have class levels. Alternatively you may invest 3 research points into a new advanced research. You cannot gain research points form temporary intelligence bonuses. Each research point increases your caster level with the specialization by 1 and allows for new spells to be used.

Primary Specialization: Mages must chose one specialization as their primary specialization. Your mage primary specialization starts with 1 point in it and an additional point each time you gain a class level. You automatically gain 2 advanced researches for your primary specialization at level 1 and 1 every level there after. Your Primary Specialization heavily influences the appearance of your class features with esoteric in the name, any related sounds, visualizations, and even smells are effected.

Mana: A Mage's method of fueling their abilities is a pool of magical force known as mana. The Mage's base mana pool consists of 100 points, which are drained away as he uses his abilities. A Mage recovers a number of points of mana equal to their Intelligence modifier each hour, and fully restores his mana pool after resting for at least eight hours.

In addition to the base amount of mana available to him, a Mage also receives bonus mana equal to his Intelligence modifier times five. Calculate this additional mana when the Mage rests to recover his mana pool entirely.

Esoteric Offense (Su): One of the first things a mage learns is to project the energies they manipulate in their unrefined form outward. This is done as a measure to protect them form an overload of those energies. In place a an attack as long as you have a free hand the mage can project a bolt pure magical energy. This bolt is ranged touch attack that deals 1d4 + Intelligence modifier supernatural damage. The bolt is a projectile with a close range(25ft + 5ft/class level), and does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You threaten any square in your natural reach. Using this ability cost 6 mana.

You may apply metamagic feats to the bolt this increases the action type by one step per feat. Metamagic feats add 3 mana per spell level increase to the esoteric offense. You may increase the number of damage die to be eual to 1 per 2 levels(round up) this increases the cost by 3 and action type by 1 step. You may instead increase the number of damage die to 1 per level, but the action type increases by 2 steps. Quicken spell feat and other feats that reduce cast speed, instead grant the ability to reduce the cast action type by 1 step per 4 mana expended. Unless otherwise stated only one effect changing energy type can apply.

Action Type Scaling: Free Action > Immediate Action > Swift Action > Move Action > Attack Action > Standard Action > Full-Round Action > 1 Round Action > 2 Rounds > etc.

Esoteric Defense (Su): The second thing they learn is how to manipulate the projection for defense. As a move action you may raise a barrier that provides a deflection bonus to AC equal to your intelligence modifier. Additionally by expending mana you may negate a certain amount of damage per attack at a rate of 1 damage per mana. The mana is limited to 3 mana per class level. This cost 10 mana to activate and requires a swift action and a free hand that cannot be used even for casting to maintain.

Advanced Research At the second level and every even level there after the mage gains an additional advanced research. Additionally you may invest 3 research points into a new advanced research.

Esoteric Movement (Su): At the 3rd level the mage learns how to push themselves through the currents of the mystical pathways that their energies flow. As a move action the mage can teleport to any point no greater then their move speed away. Esoteric movement is flashy and very noticeable often including lines trailing from start to finish. Using Esoteric Movement cost 30 mana.

Esoteric Ritual Tome (Su): Starting at the 5th level, the mage gains the ability to keep a selections of spell books. These spell books keep structure of magic and record of spells. With 3 x spell level x caster level gold and any foci or material components the mage may cast any spell recorded in its spell books. Recording a spell take 100g per spell level. A spell has its cast time extended greatly. Any spell that has a cast time of 1 round or less has the cast time extended to 1 minute. Any other spell has its cast time multiplied by 10. The mage must expend 10 mana per spell level.

Esoteric Teleportation (Su): At the 7th level the mage gains the ability to teleport to a location they have spent at least a week in studying the currents of energies in. The teleportation is will not fail as long as your on the same plane as your destination. This teleportation cost 30 mana and takes 1 minute to cast, provoking attacks of opportunity.

Esoteric Construction (Su): At 9th level the mage gains the ability to preform a brief channel to construct a building. To start the ritual, you must spend 1 minute chanting. If you are disturbed during this period, you must make a Concentration check as if you were casting a 5th-level spell. After this time, you make a DC 20 Knowledge (arcana) check.

Esoteric Portal (Su): At the 13th level the mage learns the secret to tearing a hole in reality to allow transit of multiple people through the portal. By expending 100 mana and casting for 1 minute you may create a portal in a adjacent space to a valid location for esoteric teleportation. You may maintain the portal as long as you continue to channel. The portal disappears on the start of your next turn after you stop channeling. While the portal is open by spending 10ft of movement anything can pass through the portal. The portal is large enough for the mage to pass trough. Anything larger threatens may have disastrous results. As if the edges are strained the mage must make a concentration check DC 20 + 5 per size category of difference for the portal to not collapse instantly leaving anything that was in the portal part on one side and part on the other.

If successful, a summoning gate appears with its nearest edge up to 10 feet away from you. You then place the money for the building (1/3 its market price) near the circle. The coins vanish in in a fantastic display, and the building begins to rise. On average, it takes 1 minute per 1,000 gold pieces for the summoning to complete.

You may use this feat to unsummon a summoned building. Doing so takes a full round action and you must be within 10 feet of the building. The building disappears, and a summoning gate returns 1/3 the original investment in gold pieces (it reappears in a flash of green flame). If another character summoned the building, you must make a caster level check (DC 11 + the caster level of the character who summoned it) to unsummon the building. If you fail, you cannot try again for 24 hours.

The summoning gate has an AC of 4, hardness of 10, and 100 hit points. If destroyed, the money is wasted and the building is not summoned.

Esoteric Schema(Su): At the 15th level the mage learns enough about the inner workings of magic to learn how divine being warp reality. The mage gains the ability to cast the spell limited wish, doing so cost 70 mana.

Esoteric Ascension (Ex): At the 20th level the very essence of the mage changes to reflect their mastery. Their type changes to outsider(native) and they gain darkvision 60ft and any secondary benefits tied to their primary specialization.

A note on "attack action" abilities:Several of a Shaman's abilities take an attack action to use; that is, they may be used as many times during a full attack action as the Shaman has iteratives due to base attack bonus, and they may be used for attacks of opportunity. Such attacks cannot be made as bonus attacks granted by haste or the Two-Weapon Fighting line of feats, for example.

Immobilized:Introduced in Tome of Magic, the immobilized condition prevents a creature from moving from the space in which it starts its turn. An immobilized creature can attack and cast spells, and it keeps its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class. Flying creatures that become immobilized when aloft can control their descent so they don’t take falling damage, but they are incapable of moving from their current space until the condition ends, descending at a rate of 20 feet per round. If an immobilized flying creature can hover, it can maintain its altitude, but it still can’t move from its space until the condition ends.

A note on percentages:Percentages for the Shaman are additive, rather than multiplicative. This provides both an increase in power and in simplicity. If the percentages slow your game down too much, consider removing them for flat bonuses - but try bringing a calculator first. The Shaman is meant to scale well, and flat bonuses often do not.


XXXXXX Specialization
1
- XXXXXX Bolt: You may modify esoteric offense's bolt to deal XXXXXX damage, increasing the die to DX.
- XXXXXX Resilience: You may modify esoteric defense's barrier to grant XXXXXX resistance 5 per 2 specialization ranks. At the 16 ranks the XXXXXX resistance becomes XXXXXX immunity.

New Rules

[Armor] spell descriptor: A spell with the Armor descriptor may be cast as a 10 minute ritual increasing its duration to 1 day/CL, doing so requires a Soul Shard as a material component and changes the spell cost to 25 mana.
[Companion] spell descriptor: A caster may only have one creature summoned by a companion spell at a time. Companion spells summon a specified creature and if the companion would take fatal damage or be knocked below 0hp they are instantly dismissed and become unsummonable for 24 hours.
[DOT] spell descriptor: A DOT is any spell that deals damage over multiple rounds to a target. So while acid arrow or seed of corruption are DOTs, flaming sphere is not.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Fel-Sworns do not gain any additional weapon or armor proficiencies.

Fel Corruption (Su): For every level of fel-sworn the character has, his alignment takes one step toward an evil alignment in line with his current alignment (lawful, neutral or chaotic). For instance, if Korsk the orc Fighter/Fel-Sworn is chaotic good at 1st level, at 2nd level his alignment will shift to chaotic neutral, and at 3rd level his alignment will shift to chaotic evil.

Sworn (Su): Fel-sworn are subject to the Spells and Rituals as if they were an Evil outsider.

Fel Boon: At each level, a fel-sworn gains the opportunity to select a special trait from among those described below. Treat fel natural weapons as magical weapons for the purposes of striking creatures with damage resistance.

Fel Breath (Ex): The fel-sworn can actually breathe a burst of felfire from his lungs. This 15ft cone-shaped burst of green flame deals 1d4 points of felfire damage per HD. A successful Reflex saving throw (DC of 10 + the fel-sworn’s level + the fel-sworn’s Constitution modifier) results in half damage. The breath takes 1d4 rounds to recover. Each time taken after the first increases damage die by 1 step and the doubles the range. It can be taken two additional times.

Fel Fangs and Talons (Ex): The fel-sworn grows a pair of long black talons and vicious fangs. These claws deals 1d6 + Strength modifier points of fel slashing damage. The bite deals 1d8 + 1 1/2 Strength modifier points of fel piercing damage.

Fel Magic: The fel-sworn adds all spells on the warlock spell list to their spell list. The fel-sworn gains a level of spell casting as if they had advanced a level in a previous class they previously had class levels in. If they did not have class levels in a spell casting class they gain spell casting of a level 1 warlock including mana pool. This may be taken multiple times and its effect stacks.

Fel Sight (Ex): The fel-sworn gains See in Darkness and +2 per class level to Listen, Search, and Spot.

Fel Strikes (Su): Wicked green flames engulf the weapons of the Fel-Sworn. All melee attacks with manufactured and natural weapons deal an additional 1d6 points of fel damage. This damage is doubled against creatures with the good alignment. Their attacks are treated as chaotic, evil, good, and lawful for the purposes of bypassing damage reduction.

Fel Wings (Ex): Wings sprout from the back of the fel-sworn. While at first these wings are relatively useless, for every level that the fel-sworn chooses to take this power, the wings grow in effectiveness. The wings begin with a maneuverability of poor and a flight speed of 40 feet (8 squares). Each time the fel-sworn takes fel wings, they increase their the maneuverability by one class (for instance from poor to average) and the speed by +20 feet.

Hellish Growth (Ex): The fel-sworn grows 75% bigger. The fel-sworn gains +4 Strength, +2 Stamina and –2 Spirit. This may be taken multiple times and its effects stack. For every two time taken increases the fel-sworn increases one size category, the size change does affect ability scores of the fel-sworn.

Insidious Horns (Ex): Twisted horns grow from the fel-sworn’s brow. These horns are natural weapons that inflict 1d6 + Strength modifier points of fel bludgeoning damage. The fel-sworn gains +3 to intimidate checks, and telepathy 20ft per class level.

Scabrous Hide (Ex): The fel-sworn’s hide grows scaly and thick. Their natural armor increases by 3 and gains DR X/- where X is 2 x class level. He also suffers a –3 penalty on Charisma based skill checks, except for Intimidate.

Spiny Tail (Ex): The spiny tail of the fel-sworn aids in balance and grants him a +2 bonus on Balance checks. The tail also sports sharp spines. This natural weapon deals 1d6 points of piercing damage + Strength modifier in addition to looking pretty cool.

On serious note, feel free to PEACH, and Contribute non-converted content. Heavily basing everything on Actual game and the S&S Warcraft books. But I feel the S&S books gave up some of the game soul for direct conversion purposes. The spell casting i used is based on Jarian's (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showsinglepost.php?p=10512914&postcount=109) work.

It's kine of hard to give feedback with so many unspecified spells still, but I think there are some overarching issues seperate form specific spell stats that can be discussed. To be frank, WoW and D&D are different games, and the machanics don't port over soo cleanly. There are scaling issues and problems with resource management as a result of this difference. So lets touch on starting problems.

First, soul shards do nothing but encourage murder hobos, which is already encouraged enough in D&D. The response to anyone who sees spells powered by soul shards is to go around killing NPCs to collect a million shards and then only use empowered spells. This, however, is something that *can* be easily fixed. My suggestion here is to do exactly what WoW did, soul shards can only be gained by fighting someone of an appopriate challenge level. Say an oponent must have a HD equal to 2 - your level or greater to provide soul shards. I would further put a strict upper cap on how many soul shards a warloc can carry at one time (likely increase it as he levels), to prevent him from having his team go around and hunt down people to kill just to build up an infinite reserve of shards before the next major battle. I'd likely also say that he refills some number of soul shards each day after a long rest, again because if you don't the warlock is going to insist on going out to farm people to kill for shards before leaving for a dungeon.

Second, your damage abilities are over powered at level they are received relative to the respective comparisons. shadowbolt is better then magic missle and immolation is substantially better then scorching ray when you first get it (doing more damage plus sickening). they also scale better and are much cheaper. However, this is counter acted by the fact that they don't scale with upper level spells. The warlock can not do any upper level burst currently compared to a wizard breaking out a disentigrate. This is because the warloc has no upper level damage spells stated yet. It's possible that you could give him one but, well ther is still a conceptual problem. If you add comperable high level spells then your low level spells will scale too well, giving both high burst when chosen and way too efficent sustained damage.

The real problem is the sustained damage problem though. His bas spells are cheap and can be tossed around freely in battles, particularly due to life drain. This one spell means a simple cure after a battle equites to a huge boost to his spell options. With one clw at low levels the warlock heals enough MP to support 2 shadow bolts in the next battle. He will never run out of magic, he will just siphoning healing spells from the cleric between battles.

This one ability means no matter how you set his spells there is going to be a scaling pain, because you have to go in expecting him to have 100 mana in every single battle. It means you *can't* allow him to have any efficent burst options, because if he *can* nova he will nova every fight, have the cleric heal his life tap damage to refil his mana, and then nova again next encounter.

Now, this may not be horrible. If you go in building him around being more of a sustained damage magic user, someone who can do constant steady damage (and utility) in any fight, but trades off the ability to be as good at Novaing major encoutners for his solid sustain. In this case he could work well, with one exception. He will start to annoy your cleric with his constant demands for healing so he can do more damage. Frankly life tap has to be limited in some manner as well not for balance, but for party cohesion, so other's don't get frustrated with using their abilities just to sustain another allies strength rather then showing off their own.

My suggestion is to make lifetap an in-combat only affect first and foremost. Lifetap creates *temporary* mana points. Those mana points generated in a fight can be used for that fight, but don't carry over to other fights (possibly combined with some way to allow him to regenerate some of the health spent to lifetap if he had allot of bonus mana available when an encounter ended so it's not all wasted). Alternatively consider making lifetap an X/day sort of thing, but I'd suggest doing *something* to prevent him from just exploiting his cleric to heal up to full.

I would also look as psonics a bit if you insist on using the 100 mp approach. Psonics address the Nova potential partially by giving them an option to increase the damage of a spell by adding more mana to it. I wouldn't go pure psonic, Especially not until/unless you solved the infinately refilable mana problem. However, once you have addressed the refiliable mana a bit better consider some class features that offer limited ways of boosting damage (or utility, damage is really the least optimal option for casters already) by using some extra mana. I'd say consider making it so that mana can be spent to replicate most of the effects of soul-shards in a battle. Say every X times a day you can spend y mana to activate a soulshard effect of a spell that isn't armor or compaion without spending a soul shard etc.

The other conceptual problem is Dots. DoTs just don't work in D&D. It tends to rockettag gameplay, things die way too fast to make a DoT make sense without allot of work. Best case would be to make the DoTs do quite a bit of damage each round but wear off after only 2-3 rounds but...It's going to be very difficult to scale a DoT well in D&D world. A DoT risks being useless for the vast majority of fights, and yet if made strong enough to be viable in any normal encouter it would likely be exploitable by giving a warloc a speed buff and having him cast the DoT and run or some other Kitting tactic. It's very very hard to make a DoT that is useful in normal cases and not exploitable that also doesn't risk encouraging a gameplay mode that breaks immertion or fun for the sake of maximizing damage.

I think it might be a good idea to change the name of the class a bit so people will not confuse it with the official warlock.
