The Pantheon[edit]

Warlock Subclass

While some warlocks may make deals to attain their power, others become voids of which several sources of other worldly power leaks to.These warlocks may share a few similarities with others but exist in a more chaotic state as different sources of power rage war within them. The beings of which this power is drawn tend to not enjoy a mortal gaining their power for free, and will often try to form a full contract or kill the target using various creatures or followers.

Please note that the Pantheon warlock is not intended for all games. This can draw a lot of attention to the warlock that can disrupt more railroaded games. The DM would also need to work out what exactly appears and when. While the Patron's Pull does have listed values of when creatures/followers appear and general CR of creatures, the DM may choose for something else to appear or for Pull to use different values without telling the player.

Pantheon of Power[edit]

At 1st level, a warlock chooses three Patrons from the list below. Each patron gives their base spell list as well as features at each level. At any point as a standard action the warlock may accept a contract with any of the chosen Patrons, gaining their full spell list and empowered effects. This does cause the warlock to permanently lose the benefits of the other Patrons as well as their Patron's Pull. This does cause their subclass features to recover as if they had a long rest but has no other resting benefits. The warlock must change any spells received from other patrons when the contract is made.

Each Patron has Patron's Pull, a number that increases for that patron each time that Patron's feature is used by 1. This Patron's Pull determines whenever a Patron's annoyance with and influence over an individual. This number determines both when a Patron decides to send a creature/follower in order to either try to establish a contract or attempt to kill the target, as well as physical changes in the character (listed under each Patron). The table below shows a general Patron's Pull and what CR of a creature they would send whenever that Pull is achieved. In general the creature is called by the Patron from a nearby location to go into the area giving them a travel time to the warlock. The types of creatures the Patron can send is listed in their information.

While the creature knows the Warlock'a location as of the last time they used the patron'a feature, they do not know precisely where the target is if they have moved, however they do gain advantage on all checks related to tracking the creature as they can vaguely sense their master's presence.

Starting at Patron's Pull 10 the creature may use it's movement to teleport to a point that is both in-between itself and the Warlock, and one mile away from the Warlock. This cannot be used if the creature is closer than a mile from the target.

Starting at 15 Patron's Pull, the creature may pin point the Warlock'a location from any distance. If the Warlock transfers planes, the creature knows the plane the Warlock has moved to.

Starting at 20 Patron's Pull, the creature may use it'a movement, bonus action, or reaction to move into a space adjacent to the Warlock. They also have advantage on all rolls against the Warlock.

Patron's Pull Average Creature CR
5 1/2 (Often just a warning)
7 1
10 2
13 3
15 4
17 5
20+ Increase CR by 1 for every 2 Patron Pull

The DM may have it be multiple creatures of lower CR in cases of there being no creature of that type at that CR.

Patrons[edit]

The DM may change these patrons to others that fit within their world. The format for patrons is as follows:

  • Name
  • Domain
  • Creature types for Patron's Pull
  • Brief summary of the Patron
  • Visual Effects of the Patron's Pull (These vanish from other Patrons when a contract is made with it. The Warlock advances to the end of the transformation track for the Patron. As a bonus action they may assume or drop these traits for the Patron they have made the contract with. Any contract abilities given by this is only available whenever the Warlock is in this form.)
  • Expanded Spell List, Pantheon of Power only grants the first spell of the list until a contract with the patron is made
  • Pact Features

Theamac[edit]

  • Imprisonment
  • Fiend/Monstrosity
  • Theamac is the keeper of the things too strong to be killed by the other Patrons or even Gods. His prison makes up the entirety of the plane of Dread. (Using the Emotion Planes) Each creature imprisoned there either has personally offended the Patron, or he has been paid to keep. Various fiends, monsters, and Warlocks who had died that made pacts with Theamac walk along the cells to ensure no escape. Warlocks killed by his creatures are kept in the cells for all eternity.

Whenever a Warlock becomes contracted with Theamac, they may use these to make a Charisma based Athletics check on a creature their size or smaller within range in attempt to grapple it, even if the creature can't normally be grappled.
