Celestial Warlock (5e Class)

Celestial Warlock

Not every holy person is freely given gifts by their gods. Not every warlock feels the need to ally/make a deal with a demon. Occasionally a deal must be made with a Celestial being to keep someone's soul intact. With good bargaining skills and better luck, becoming a Celestial Warlock can be the result. A Celestial Warlock is able to manipulate radiant energy with positive or negative elements and can begin to utilize certain aspects of their divine patron for their own benefit.

Spellcasting

At 1st level, you know one cantrip of your choice from both the Cleric spell list and the Warlock spell list (with the exception of any necromancy and/or necrotic damage spells). You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the table.

By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on arcane magic and turn it into divine magic to cast spells.

Learning and Casting Spells

The Celestial Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level or higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spells level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. As you level, you will choose your spells known from the Cleric spell list and/or the Warlock spell list(with the exception of any necromancy and/or necrotic damage spells). The spells learned must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your spells. You use your Charisma modifier whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the DC for a basic spell you cast and when making a attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a sacred weapon as a spellcasting focus for your spells, otherwise you must use your Divine Patron's holy book, scripture, or other divine implement.

Light's Caress

At 1st level, the Celestial Warlock learns a unique way to manipulate radiant energy focusing either negative or positive elements to it. The Warlock shapes that energy into a bolt and throws it to a target within 30 feet; If the bolt has positive energy the target is healed; if the bolt has negative energy make a ranged spell attack against the target, on a hit the target takes damage. The hit die for this ability is located in the Celestial Warlock Table. You can use this ability as many times as your Charisma modifier +Your level. You regain all charges after a long rest and 2 charges after a short rest.

Undead and demons take an additional 50% of damage.

Sacred Weapon

At 2nd level, with a bonus action, you imbue one weapon with negative radiant energy. The imbued weapon deals an extra 1d4 radiant damage with every successful attack. This ability can be applied to one weapon at a time and only once.

The damage increases at 5th level (1d6), 10th level (1d10) 15th level (2d6) and 20th level (2d8)

Celestial Aspects

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Ritual Casting

You can use your Divine Patron's holy book or scripture as a ritual book as per the Ritual Casting feat.

Sacred Pulse

At 6th level, you learn to release a wave of radiant energy in a 30 feet radius from the Divine Warlock. The Warlock must choose if the energy is positive (every creature within radius is healed) or negative (every creature within radius takes radiant damage). All undead and demonic creatures treat this spell as if cast with negative energy and take damage accordingly. Creatures targeted by this ability may perform a Dex saving throw against the Warlock spell save DC and take half damage on a successful roll. This ability uses the same hit die as Light's Caress from the Celestial Warlock Table. you can use this ability 2 times a day and you regain this uses after a long rest. At 12th level, you can use this ability 3 times a day and 4 times a day at level 18.

Sacred Armor

At 10th level, you may imbue your armor or the armor of another creature with negative radiant energy. Every time you are successfully hit by a creature within 10 feet of you, the armor will deal 2 points radiant damage to that creature as a reaction from the attack. The damage increases at level 15 to 4 points.

Sacred Return

At 15th level, the Celestial Warlock learns to store a great amount of positive radiant energy within him. As long as this energy is within you, whenever your hit points reach 0 or lower you spend this ability to automatically resurrect with half hp and protective aura that increases your AC by 5 for one turn. You can also use this ability to resurrect one creature within range to a quarter hp as long as it has not been dead for more than 24 hours and you only need a small piece of the creature to be able to use this ability. This ability has 1 charge, to regain the charge you must complete a 15-hour ritual with a component requirement of 1 large diamond and a bag of purifying salts worth a total of 1 platinum.

Sacred Avatar

At 20th level, you learn to cover yourself in a mixture of positive and negative radiant energy creating a shiny angelic avatar that is launched from you. The angelic form is 35 feet wide (centered on you), 15 feet tall and travels as far as 100 feet in a straight line from the Warlock. Any enemy creature in range of this attack is automatically hit with 7d6 radiant damage and are knocked prone regardless of size; Any friendly creature in its path is healed by 7d6. You can use this ability once and can regain it after a long rest.
