Ok, so this might need a bit of explanation.
In my homebrew setting, Elementals reproduce by forming pacts with Mortals and implanting an Elemental embryo inside their souls.
As the Mortal ages, the embryo grows, and the Mortal gains access to their magic.
The trade-off being that, the moment a Shugenja dies, their physical form explodes due the the sudden outflux of elemental energy, destroying the physical form and finally 'birthing' the Elemental (If the Elemental is then killed, it just returns to the requisite Elemental Plane).
Anyway, I had this all worked out as a homebrewed class for 3.5, but I'm now shifting to 5th and have been thinking about how it might work.
And thanks to the whole thing about forming a pact, I figure it might work best as a Warlock subclass.
But I don't know too much about Warlocks. So does anybody have any ideas or advice about what kind of changes to Warlocks I would need to make?
And would people be interested in the subclass rules once I've finished them?
