Warlock
Base Class: Warlock

Maybe you were a Paladin who's god turned their back on you. Or perhaps a Cleric who lost faith in your deity. Regardless of your background, faith, or even your profession, The Faithless feeds on your lack of faith. Whether you're aware of it or not, you draw power from the faithless, but at a heavy cost. The Faithless takes from it's host in return for granting them their power. This can come in the form of sapping time off the Warlock's lifespan or inflicting it's host with a form of plague. Warlocks who notice what the faithless is doing are met with a single phrase: "A great power for a great cost." 

The Faithless is known, however, to grant "gifts" to those who do it's bidding. This can come in the form of reducing the amount of life being sapped away or a cure for what ails them. Though the tasks in order to do so are grievous in and of themselves.

Expanded Spell List

The Faithless lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Spell Level Spells
1st  Inflict Wounds, Command
2nd   Magic weapon, Silence
3rd   Bestow Curse, Lightning Bolt
4th   Death Ward, Find Greater Steed (Mount has the look of an undead)
5th   Contagion, Geas

Defense Against The Faithful

You invoke the power of The Faithless to defend yourself from damage. As a bonus action, you summon spectral armor over yourself. This armor lasts for 1 minute or until you banish the armor as a bonus action. 

While wearing this armor you have resistance to radiant damage and you gain AC equal to your proficiency bonus. In addition, when you are hit with a melee attack, the attacker makes a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC taking 1d6 + your warlock level necrotic damage on a failed save, taking no damage on a successful one.

Black Out The Light

Starting at 6th level, your patron helps defend you from magical or physical damage. You gain the choice of casting Counterspell or Hellish Rebuke, as a reaction, once per long rest without expending a spell slot.

Defense Against Magic.

You can cast Counterspell once per long rest without expending a spell slot.

Defense Against Physical

You can cast Hellish Rebuke once per long rest without expending a spell slot.

Defending The Pawns

Starting at 10th level, Your connection to The Faithless and necrotic energy now saturates your body. You have resistance to necrotic damage. When you activate your Defense Against The Faithful, you instead become immune to Radiant & Necrotic damage.  All allies within 15 ft. of you also gain the effects of your Defense Against The Faithful. The range increases to 30 ft. at Warlock level 14.

Remnants Of Faith

Starting at 14th Level, you gain the ability to call upon the lingering remnants of power from the god you previously worshiped. You gain the options Smite The Wicked and Purge All Evil.

Smite The Wicked: You make a Ranged Spell Attack against a target you can see within 30 ft. of you. Dealing 5d8 Damage on a hit (Damage type is dependent the god you previously worshiped.)

Purge All Evil: 5 creatures of your choosing within 30 ft. of you make a constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. Taking 2d8 damage on a successful save (Damage Type is dependent the the god you previously served.) Taking half as much damage and being pushed back 10ft. on a failed save.
