Warlock
Base Class: Warlock

The Phyrexians are the faction that invaded Dominaria and took control of Mirrodin. They were once a terrible threat on a different plane, yet were exterminated. When Karn brought a drop of Glistening Oil, that drop was all they needed to rebuild. The Phyrexians corrupted, or according to them, "compleated" the already artificial landscape, eventually defeating the Mirrans. Once that happened, the Phyrexians split into 5 sects, each led by a Praetor, based on different interpretations of the Phyrexian Scriptures, a codex written in the Phyrexians' original days. None of the present-day Phyrexians know what happened back then, yet simply accept the Scriptures as true.

You have been entitled to service by a Praetor, the leader of one of New Phyrexia's five sects. Most likely you are Compleated, or you might have willingly sought out the Praetors' boon and thus aren't Compleated yet.

Praetor Master

1st-level Praetor feature

You choose your Praetor Master by using the table below.

All Will Be One.

PRAETOR MASTER MANA COLOR
Elesh Norn White
Jin-Gitaxias Blue
Sheoldred Black
Urabrask Red
Vorinclex  Green
Elesh Norn

The White-Aligned Praetor of Unity, Elesh Norn guides all groups within her sect, knowing that she is the most powerful praetor as of now. The next logical step for her is to unite all other praetors under a single banner. Elesh Norn looks like at all, roughly humanoid figure, covered in porcelain plating. Her faceless head bears two large, down-curving porcelain horns, yet she sees everything around her even without eyes. She has large, sweeping, silk-like curtains of hardened, woven blood carried by her servants extending from the gaps between the porcelain plating.

All Will Be One.

 

Jin-Gitaxias

The Blue-Aligned Praetor of Experimentation, Jin-Gitaxias is the head researcher of The Progress Engine, believed to be closest to complete perfection. He has spies in every other sect and even the Mirrans, keeping him always informed of happening all over New Phyrexia. He looks like a hunched figure made if interwoven steel, a bestial head, and two long, clawed arms that, while deadly, can be more delicate that human ones when preforming particular experiments, His lower part is covered in dark cloth, from which his spiny, serpentine neck extends.

All Will Be One.

Sheoldred

The Black-Aligned Praetor of Enslavement, Sheoldred is simply considered ruler since she has bested all other Seven Steel Thanes though cunning and ruthlessness, yet she knows it is only a matter of time until another Thane bests her. She looks like a graceful, humanoid figure with large black horns, her lower body connected to a monstrous creature with a fanged mouth but no face. It is believed Sheoldred can slither out of her monstrous host and attach to a new one.

All Will Be One.

Urabrask

The Red-Aligned Praetor of Freedom, Urabrask wants nothing more than being able to tend to his forge in peace. He doesn't want anything to do with the other praetors and their schemes; an arrangement that works for both as its rather easy to ignore someone dwelling in a cave. He looks like a large, clockwork beast with a curved snout and maw, and along, lashing tail.

All Will Be One.

Vorinclex

The Green-Aligned Praetor of Predation, Vorinclex is a master at twisting nature to be more deadly, as he himself is such a beast. Vorinclex detests sentience, believing the perfect life-form is on freed from thinking shackles. Despite the fact the he is the Praetor of the sect, a phyrexianized elf named Glissais the one really in charge, serving as a capable leader. He looks like a like an enormous beast with powerful arms and claws, a fanged mouth flanked by bony plates, and is covered in a mix of coarse fur and rough steel.

All Will Be One.

Phyrexian Boon

1st-level Praetor feature

The Praetor Master has saw fit to bestow their power upon you, until you prove worthy of Compleation.  You gain the ability to speak the language of the Phyrexians (Deep Speech), as well as gain a method to enable the spread further infection upon your enemies.

All Will Be One. 

Voice of One - Starting at first level when you select this subclass, you learn Deep Speech.

Infection of Phyrexia - When you hit a creature with a spell or weapon attack, that creature must make a Constitution Saving Throw (DC {{savedc:cha}}). On a fail, it becomes Poisoned for one minute. At the start of its turn, it must repeat the save. On a success, it is no longer Poisoned (if poisoned to begin with).

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per short rest.

Inevitable Demise

6th-level Praetor feature

Your Praetor Master has upgraded you to become more deadly and less resisted by the enemies of Phyrexia. 

All Will Be One.

Inevitable Demise - When you cast a spell or use an ability that causes Acid, Poison, or Necrotic damage, you can ignore enemy resistances to that type of damage.

Herald of Perfection

10th-level Praetor feature

Starting at tenth level, your form ascends to greater perfection. Choose three of the following changes.

  • Endurance - You have advantage on saving throws made to maintain Concentration Checks on Warlock Spells.
  • Speed - Your speed increases by 20 feet.
  • Viciousness - As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 ft. of you. The next time you hit that creature, all damage dealt by the attack increases by 1d8.
  • Jump Boost - You learn the Jump spell and can cast it as a Reaction at will, without consuming a spell slot.
  • Cunning - You have advantage on Wisdom, Intelligence and Charisma checks specifically made to deceive or manipulate.
  • Stealth - You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks, and can take the Hide action as a bonus action

Corrupting Strike

14th-level Praetor feature

Starting at 14th level, your attacks have been infused with the ability to Compleate other creatures. When you hit an incapacitated non-Phyrexian creature with a spell or weapon attack, you may opt to deal no damage. If you do, the creature becomes Compleated (see Phyrexianized template). This Compleated creature serves you, until a Remove Curse spell is cast on it or you use this feature again. After 1 day, the Remove Curse spell has no effect and the change is permanent. You can give it verbal commands in Deep Speech, which it must obey. The creature is created on behalf of your Praetor, so additions and changes to the template might occur, depending on the Praetor's will.

All Will Be One.

Specifics - Depending on which Praetor Compleated you and for what purpose, the details presented here might be added to, removed, or changed. For example, Elesh Norn
might give a Porcelain plating, giving you a natural bonus to AC.
