The Machine

Your patron is an incomprehensible machine that wields both intelligence and incredible power over reality. This device may have been created through mortal design, only to far exceed its intended capabilities; or it may have been the instrument of a higher power, preserving order since the birth of the multiverse. The motives of these constructs are often inscrutable, either through deliberate manipulation or a bizarre protocol of communication; nonetheless, their ultimate goals range from carrying out the original directives of their creators to achieving the insane fantasies of a rogue artificial intelligence.

Machina Arcana

Beginning at 1st level, you know the mending and shocking grasp cantrips, which do not count against your known cantrips and are considered warlock spells for you.

Warped Reality

    Also at 1st level, you can choose to bend and contract space when you make a ranged or melee attack roll to extend its range or reach by 60 feet and grant advantage to the roll.
    You can also use this feature when you interact with an object, perform the Use Object action, or cast a touch spell on a willing creature to increase your reach by 60 feet. If you use this feature to pick up a distant object, it can't weigh more than 10 pounds.
    Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Forged Body

    Starting at 6th level, you become your master's canvas, declaring the perfection of artifice over flesh. Whenever you take damage, you can use your reaction to halve the damage dealt to you.
    You gain two uses of this feature, which are regained after finishing a short or long rest.

Steel Resolve

    Starting at 10th level, your patron's logic-driven rigour teaches you to compartmentalise your thoughts and emotions. You are immune to the frightened condition, and you don't lose concentration on your spells when you are incapacitated unless you are petrified or rendered unconscious.
    In addition, when you are forced to make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, you can choose to automatically succeed after seeing your initial roll but before any of the roll’s effects occur. Once you maintain concentration this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

The Maker's Monolith

    Starting at 14th level, you can summon an imposing column of stone or metal as an action; raising a 15 foot tall monument in an adjacent 5 foot space.
    This nigh invincible monolith acts as a conduit for your patron's power into this realm. You can spend 10 minutes forming any basic structures or objects made of non-magical materials, or altering terrain within 30 feet of this monolith. Objects or structures removed from this area will disintegrate after 1 minute, and terrain will revert to its natural form. In addition, you are mentally alerted when a creature of size Tiny or larger enters this area, as long as you are within 5 miles.
    You can also teleport yourself and up to 4 other willing creatures within 10 feet to the base of the monolith as an action, as long as you are within 5 miles of it. Once you teleport like this, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
    This monolith is active as long as you maintain concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). If you concentrate for 1 hour, the monolith and surrounding creations are made permanent until you use this feature again to create another one.
    Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Quirks

 

d8	Quirks
1	You are obsessed with the form and function of all objects, particularly ones with moving parts.
2	You have an overbearing contempt for any tradition that defies logical reasoning.
3	You find it difficult to read or convey subtle emotion.
4	You always blink at regular intervals.
5	Your movements are always methodical and deliberate unless you make an extra effort to appear natural.
6	Your face appears unnervingly perfect, similar to a porcelain mask.
7	You can fall asleep immediately if you will it
8	Everything must be ordered, everything must be in place. That book should be in the shelf, that mop should be next to the bucket...

 

Your Pact Boon
The following are suggestions for the appearance and style of your pact boon as a warlock of the Machine.
Pact of the Chain. Machine patrons place great value on surveillance and accumulating meaningful knowledge; while most minions are capable of performing these tasks, the Sentinel Drone has the methodical intelligence and faculties to see these duties executed with great efficiency.
Pact of the Blade. Your pact weapon may appear extremely utilitarian, with straight edges giving no room for artistic flourish on dull chrome metal. Alternatively your weapon could be a complex amalgamation of clockwork machinery, taking the desired shape through ingenious mechanics.
Pact of the Tome. Your Book of Shadows may take the form of an ancient tome of forgotten designs, with rituals detailed in exact and engineered precision; or it may be a heavy coded log, containing dense machine language only you or your master could understand.
Pact of the Talisman. Your talisman may take the shape of a corroded pocket watch, an enigmatic mechanical cube, or an ornamental socket key.
