Base Class: Warlock
The conditions of this agreement is worked on a case by case basis, but can range from a work until benefactors profit a certain number, to make the agreed ROI by this time or suffer grave consequences, or simply serving as a full time asset to the investors.
Due to the amount of gold necessary to emulate other patrons power, Investment Warlocks are rare. Some examples of uses a benefactor could have for an Investment Warlock include; Leading/Coordination, this archetype is provided abilities to harness information to assist in accomplishing a mission and lead groups and are typically highly experienced in participating in these types of deals. Alternatively in a more active role of Espionage/Asset Acquisition; this archetype is provided abilities to discretely gather information and confiscate advantages from competitors. One could always just become an asset themselves and used in many different facets depending on the patrons needs as a full time investment.

Posted May 27, 2024Kind of struggling with some theming here. The main goal is for a specific magic heist style campaign to encourage players to not only provide their patron with gold, but to allow them to get higher value items by expending their own gold for utility spells. I just really like the idea of the direct Magic=Gold Gold=Magic angle.
Any thoughts?
