Hello I'm Gumdropped. I am the guardian of the Warlock Subclasses for 5e. If you make one I will be modifying it at some point to follow the template of the rest of them.


Balancing a New Patron

For Warlock Subclasses, there are a few standards that almost all in normal 5e share.

Nearly every patron gives an expanded spell list, providing 2 extra spells per spell slot level (1-5). And provides 4 class feats, given at levels 1, 6, 10, and 14.

Not every warlock patron has to follow this schema, but when balancing a subclass this is the easiest template to follow to make sure you don't give your DM a headache with too many overpowered class feats.

If you are interested in making a Warlock Subclass, the template should be as follows.


=== Header 3:Patron Name (Usually the same as page title) ===

<div class="externalimage-holder" style="width:30%;float:right"> {{5e Image|float:right|"Link to the image you're using"|"Image Caption and Credits"}}</div>

''Warlock Subclass''

Flavor and description.


With wiki formatting, the template looks like this (not including an image)

Patron[edit]

Warlock Subclass

Flavor text about your almighty patron.

Expanded Spell List[edit]

Your patron adds these spells to your list.

Spell Level Spells
1st [[5e SRD:|]], [[5e SRD:|]]
2nd [[5e SRD:|]], [[5e SRD:|]]
3rd [[5e SRD:|]], [[5e SRD:|]]
4th [[5e SRD:|]], [[5e SRD:|]]
5th [[5e SRD:|]], [[5e SRD:|]]

Subclass Feat Level 1[edit]

You get a cool cantrip or something

Subclass Feat Level 6[edit]

You do more but it's usually not a super impressive feat

Subclass Feat Level 10[edit]

More powerful and you usually take on the look or embody some aspect of your patron

Subclass Feat Level 14[edit]

You can fight god if you use this properly


Pact Boons[edit]

Your stuff is reminiscent of your patron.

Pact of the Blade. It looks like a silly pool noodle.

Pact of the Tome. Your book is a composition book from fifth-grade. Wide ruled.

Pact of the Chain. You have a tamagotchi you can summon.


Unique Eldritch Invocations[edit]

Obscure Technique (Prerequisite: The Page Patron, 5th level, eldritch blast cantrip)

Your eldritch blast ignores half and three-quarters cover.
