Friends Close, Enemies Closer
Added 2015-12-07 15:33:44 +0000 UTCIn our 50th article, Josh Gentry asks you to sell your soul! Three new warlock patrons include The Sea Lord, The Seducer, and The Trickster, along with six new Invocations. These three patrons represent such legendary beings as Davy Jones, the Leviathan, Dracula, Pan, Loki, or even Rumpelstiltskin. Illustrated by Egil Thompson.

"Scholarly Arcanum" can only be used to record spells of 6th level or higher. Replace the words "as though they were warlock spells" with "in lieu of your normal arcanum of that level." The intention is to add flexibility to the Arcanum, so that it would act more like a spell slot (with a very VERY short spell list) instead of a single rote spell. The intention was NOT to add further options to the warlock's Pact Magic spell slots.

2015-12-14 17:42:57 +0000 UTCI have a few questions about the mechanics of Scholarly Arcanum. Do the spells that you choose from a particular school have to match that Mystic Arcanum level, or could they be lower? For example, If I were to choose Animate Objects and Passwall, would using the arcanum in this way also negate me receiving a normal 6th level Mystic Arcanum?

2015-12-11 12:53:16 +0000 UTCLooks good after a 1st read. Fantastic ideas for Patrons. I really like the idea that patrons change the appearance and/or demeanor of the warlock too. This could nearly be an article in itself, but I would encourage players to describe this. 3 cool patrons all added to the available possibilities on my website for my players. (I can't speak to the invocations - haven't had an active warlock yet). Thanks. C

2015-12-08 00:08:28 +0000 UTCYes, somehow I accidently overlooked this during one of my revisions. It should be followed with: "You can use this feature twice, and you regain all spent uses when you finish a short or long rest."
