[Infinity] Warlock - The Timeless Patron
🕑 Added 2022-06-22 14:01:05 +0000 UTCI wasn't expecting to design a warlock at the beginning, but came around when I thought about how the Infinity Guard might receive their chronomantic abilities. The result was a warlock of the TImeless patron, one who exists outside of time and may give a fraction of that power to someone who asks.
Let's take a look at the Timeless warlock:
The typical warlock progression is simple: gain a subclass-defining 1st level feature, some defensive, resistive, or mobility-based 6th and 10th level features (their offensive power comes from full-caster spells), and then a 14th level powerful capstone.
- 1st level - The warlock starts off with some flavor and combat utility. Accelerated Strike is essentially Genie warlock plus a Disengage option to aid an ambushy and control-style combat; Reverse Entropy should mostly be flavor with some interesting uses (like restoring worn text or cleaning up items for money!)
- 6th level - At this level, the warlock can impose disadvantage on an attack against an enemy moving into melee and move them away if they approach. This is great for getting people out of reach for you and your allies (without a save!) but is not suited for enemies attacking at range. Disadvantage is pretty par (Archfey)
- 10th level - Force damage is strong but niche; the anti-age ability is mostly a ribbon (it's usually not an issue at this point). The mending improvement is pretty nice because it can now repair shattered bits (provided it's minor). Creative players may find great use for this - repairing a set of bars after an enemy stumbles through or repairing a crate after someone is thrown into it.
- 14th level - Seems like a strong capstone. It can provide exceptional burst damage where needed, three dash actions to cover long distances, or squeeze actions into one to get through difficult checks. I considered upping it to 4, but I think that would be a bit too strong for those who know how to use it.
In any case - let me know what you think!
