Warlock (Witch Archetype)
While most witches draw power from a dark mysterios patron, some draw their power from pacts and deals made with shadow spirits, devils and demons, while they don’t have as many hexes or spells, these witches have infernal familiars and an evil bloodline to support their powers.
Alignment: Any Non-Good.
Skills: Warlocks add Climb and Stealth to their list of class skills but remove Knowledge (history).
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Warlocks are proficient with rapiers, nets, shields (not including tower shields) and light armor (no arcane spell failure chance for either).
Tiefling Familiar: Your witch’s familiar has the fiendish template.
Empowered Heritage: A warlock gains Eldritch Heritage as a bonus feat as 1st level, you must select the Abyssal, Infernal or Shadow (or Brutal, Pit-Touched or Umbral) bloodline with this feat. At 9th level, you gain Improved Eldritch Heritage as a bonus feat with the bloodline you selected at 1st level. This replaces your Patron and all Patron Spells.
Combat Focus: A warlock’s combat abilities is better than those of a normal witch, at 8th level, you gain the effects of Weapon Training 1 with the rapier and net only. This replaces the hex gained at 8th and 10th level.
Imp Binding: At 11th level, a warlock gains an Imp Familiar as if he had Improved Familiar, however the warlock’s alignment does not have to match the Imp’s alignment. This replaces the hex gained at 16th level.
Hellfire Casting: Warlocks add +1 to the DC of the saving throws of any [Fire] or [Evil] spells they cast, but reduce the DC of the saving throw of all other spells by -1.
Spells: Warlocks add Lesser Planar Binding to their spells known at 8th level, Planar Binding at 9th level, and Greater Planar Binding at 14th level.
