Warlock
Base Class: Warlock

You have made a pact with a large corporate conglomerate with a surplus of magical power. Rather than sourcing your power from a single patron, you gain magical abilities from a contract of employment. Your relationship with your company is often more professional than mystical, with the terms of your agreement clearly stated within your contract (though there may be some fine print). Most corporations care little for the well being of their employees, only desiring the expansion of the brand and amassment of wealth. Corporate patrons powerful enough to form magic contracts include Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Tesla.

Patron Spells

The Corporation grants you the following benefits:

Prepared Spells. You always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Warlock level specified in The Corporation Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Free Casting. You can cast one of your prepared spells from this feature without expending a spell slot, and you must finish a long rest before you use this benefit again

Spells

1st

sleep, Jim's magic missile

Payday

Starting at 1st level, your employer provides you with a portion of profits earned in your adventuring endeavors. When you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, you gain a number of gold pieces equal to double the creature's challenge rating plus your warlock level.

Company Lackeys

Starting at 6th level, you've gained a small following of corporate underlings to assist you with menial tasks. As an action, you may summon a number of lackeys equal to your equal to your proficiency bonus plus your spellcasting ability modifier. These lackeys are commoners, but they have the fey, fiend, or celestial type (your choice). Lackeys obey your spoken commands, as long as your commands are not directly harmful to them. Lackeys will only engage in combat with a successful persuasion check (DC: 20 minus your proficiency bonus). Lackeys disappear after 10 minutes.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Standard Protocol

Starting at 10th level, you've learned how to expertly handle hazardous situations via standard company protocol. As a bonus action, you can take one of the following procedures:

Fire Escape Route. Choose a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus. For the next minute, affected creatures have resistance to fire damage and advantage on Dexterity saving throws.

Dangerous Spill. You cast dispel magic without expending a spell slot. The spell's level is equal to that of your highest warlock spell slot. Additionally, a yellow sign appears at the location of the target. The sign reads "Caution: Wet Floor" and can be read by anyone regardless of language proficiencies. For the next minute, any creature within 30 ft of the sign ignores the effects of difficult terrain.

Active Shooter. Choose a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus. For the next minute, affected creatures have advantage on stealth checks. Ranged attack rolls against affected creatures are made with disadvantage.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short rest. 

It's Just Business

Starting at 14th level, you've been promoted to a management position within your Corporation, allowing you to discharge other workers. As an action, you may unleash a string of criticisms upon a creature that an hear you, denouncing their disorganization, rigidness, and lack of work ethic. The target must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 10d8 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Additionally when using this feature, you may choose to declare the target "fired", causing them to take an additional 3d10 fire damage regardless of their saving throw result. If the additional fire damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target's body disintegrates into a fine, gray powder.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
