Destiny Warlock (5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Warlock
"Warlocks have long studied the Traveler, mastering some of its arcane energies. Its true purpose remains a great mystery, but discovering truth has always driven you into the unknown. Now, our enemies are the only thing that stands between you and the lost wonders of our Golden Age." — Class description
Life after Rebirth
Almost by definition, the life of a Guardian is an adventuring life. Unless other duties take him or her away from adventuring for a time, every guardian lives on the front lines of the cosmic struggle against darkness. Fighters are rare enough among the survivors of the collapse of the golden age, but even fewer people can claim the light of a traveller. When they do revive as a guardian, these warriors turn from their forgotten pasts and take up arms to fight the darkness.
The path of a guardian leads them into the service of the speaker and the vanguard of the tower as elite warriors, but even then their loyalty can falter.
Adventuring guardians take their work seriously. A scouting mission into a enemy infested zone or a hive crypt can be the difference between the survival or demise of the last bastion of humanity. The darkness lurks every where. In lost sectors or forests that reclaimed the formerly inhabited worlds of the golden age, and even the smallest victory can change the course of history.

Subclass
Beginning at 1st level when you choose this class, you will choose one of 3 subclasses. You will choose between solar, arc, or void. This will determine the damage type for your melee and grenade damage type as well as what super you use, the damage for void is force, the damage for arc is lightning, and the damage for solar is radiant. This will also give you additional abilities at 5th level, 10th level, and 15th level.
The saving throw DC for class abilities is equal to 8 + wisdom modifier + proficiency bonus.
Melee Energy
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to infuse your light into you melee attacks. When you make an unarmed melee attack, you deal 1d4 damage + your wisdom modifier. The damage dealt by your melee is decided by which subclass you have chosen. You unarmed melee attacks also have a range of 10 feet. At higher levels the damage die for your melee attacks increases, at 6th it becomes 1d6, at 12th it becomes 1d8, and at 17th it becomes 1d10.
Grenade Energy
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to channel your light into a grenade like projectile that explodes on impact. As a bonus action, you choose a point within 30 ft. Every creature within 10 ft of that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. They take 1d8 damage on a fail or half as much on a success. The damage dealt by you grenade is decided by which subclass you have chosen. You have a number of grenade charges equal to wisdom modifier that fully recharge on a short rest or long rest. Also, every time a creature dies that you have damaged you gain 1 grenade charge. At higher levels your grenades do more damage, 2d8 at 7th level, 3d8 at 13th level, and 4d8 at 18 level.

Once the rift is placed, it cannot move from where it was placed. You may use this feature twice per long rest. The Rift heals 2d6 at 14th level.
