Game King Patron[edit]
Warlock Subclass
A pact formed with an ancient spirit of a lost civilization based on the playing of games. Through the use of the so-called dark games it was possible to inflict tremendous punishments upon those that lose. The spirits have since been placed in objects of that civilization and exert power through holders in the modern world often bringing out darker sides of their users, sometimes splitting their personality in two.

Penalty Game[edit]
Your Patron is a master of playing games and through dark games you can inflict punishments upon your opponent. Starting at 1st level you can use your action to expend a spell slot and challenge another creature that has int higher than 8 and that you share a language with to a game, you can only challenge an individual creature once per week. Your opponent must make a wisdom save against your spell save DC, if it passes it can set the terms of the game or choose to refuse, otherwise you may set the terms. A game can involve either contested checks in a gaming set or athletics, acrobatics or history performed as best of 3 or anything else your DM deems reasonable. The winner of the game can then choose a penalty game for the opponent from among these or something else of a similar level:
- Take 2d8 times the level of the spellslot expended psychic, poison or fire damage.
- Cause them to see or hear a persistent hallucination of whatever you wish. This can cause something to be seen as something else or feel the presence of something that doesn’t exist. This lasts for 8 hours times the level of the spellslot expended.
- Cause them to be under the effect applied by being in a zone of truth for a number of minutes equal to the spell slot expended.
- Require the performance of a particular task that is not directly harmful to the loser or their allies such as letting them into a locked building or give an object. They will perform it to the best of their ability within their next round.
