RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32

In Oracle we did an alternate base class Warlock and a couple reviewers have asked for further support of the class (and in all honesty I always craved more from 3.5.)

The reviews pretty much sum up what you get (in case you somehow haven't bought this yet!)

So far...

I have several feat ideas and want to expand on what you can do with the blast evolutions.

I'm also considering doing either a Hellfire archetype or prestige class. I'd make the blasts specific and have a mechanic that bi-passes fire resistence partly, I feel like that archetype deserves an imp familiar as well.

Another Archetype I'm kicking around in my head trades some revelation versatility for the ability to cast spells form specific mysteries as a sla.

I've already noted a request for more fluff explaining how Warlocks enter the class, but what do the rest of you want?


In regard to things to do with the blasts; Would be interesting if they could sacrifice d6's to do something interesting with the blast like types of debuffs. So basically you customize it as little or as much as you want dealing more damage for slight effects or less damage for crazy utility blasts.

In regard to flavor; Unlike Clerics, the Oracle class implies a lack of choice in being granted divine power. Crunch-wise the Warlock has nothing that implies such a thing so the opposite may be true. The Flying Pincushion Warlock could be something akin to a thief or a gatherer, seeking out truths in the mysteries of the universe and taking for himself things that appeal to him, as implied by being able to take revelations from any mystery and being able to un-weave spells to look for truths. Under that kind of flavor a Warlock would be someone who was interested not in deities but in mysteries that they guard.

In my head they are sort of like sorcs in that there's something in their blood but not enough to be a sorc, then a lesser power like a demon lord or an archedevil, or Deva can activate it...


Haven't purchased it, but from what you've said, it's cherry pick an oracle revelation per level and get bonus uses per day, yes? Have you added some way to maximize damage or heighten save DCs, either through the use of feats, an archetype that burns multiple daily uses to amp up an ability, or so on?


I'd contest that, mostly because they gain revelations. I assume those mechanics are in divine territory.

Bradley, our warlock is like the 3.5 warlock with the supernatural blasting. The revelations exist to replace the old invocations.


Very clever. That does quite a bit to expand the possibilities of the class, while also keeping it easy to play. It sounds like you've made a big improvement to the classic entry-level learn-how-to-be-a-caster class without losing the entry-level feel.

That is the best summation of the philosophy that has yet been expressed.

I find myself debating adding a set of feat similar to the metamagics but that's too easy and doesn't feel organic to the class. I might also go with a few warlock only revelations but we shall see.


Special revelations would follow well. Reduce your breadth to get more depth in the abilities that you do have.

I have some ideas about archetypes that would borrow specific forms of eldritch blast like a druid that gets the claw form only.

How about the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.
