I know it sounds like a subclass for monks, but I assure you, it's not. I was thinking of attempting to create a S.I.V.A/Rasputin-themed subclass for Warlocks based on Felwinter and the rest of the Iron Lords, what do you all think? (If you're a Destiny fan you know exactly what I'm talking about, if you aren't, I highly recommend checking it out!!!)
I'm currently working on it, but I'm new to homebrew so I'm not 100% sure how to set everything up properly, if anyone could help it would be much appreciated!
I’m pretty good at homebrew and a warlock fanatic. SIVA / AI Patron sounds interesting. Things to consider is the basic makeup of how warlock class features mechanically work. Generally speaking they flow like this:
Level 3 Feature- Active new feature that leans heavily into establishing the theme for the subclass. Archfey teleporting mischief, Fiend empowered by killing, GOO weird mental stuff etc etc. So you need to have a solid thematic ability.
Level 6 Feature- Enhancement to thematic skillset. Archfey gets a defensive buff to its primary feature. Fiend gets the thematic boost of dark deals swaying things in your favor. Goolock messes with people’s minds making them weaker to your powers etc. Main theme of powers should get a solid bump here.
Level 10 Feature- GENERALLY a Powerful new defensive feature- Archfey gets charm immunity and damage reflection. Fiend gets on-demand flexible damage resistance. Celestial gets a very healthy pool of Temp HP multiple times a day. Needs a powerful defensive feature here- maybe nano-regeneration themed.
Level 14 Feature- Either BIG bump to existing thematic feature or a powerful brand new thematic feature. Archfey gets to teleport WAY more often. Celestial gets resurrection. Fiend literally sends you to hell and GOOlock summons a powerful alien ally. So this needs to be a big, impactful new feature or big upgrade to the main thematic level 3 feature.
Happy to provide feedback once you drop some ideas.
