Warlock Genie Subclass: Pact of Wishes

The Pact of Wishes is a specialized Warlock subclass that forges a mystical bond with a Genie patron, unlocking the ability to grant wishes to willing creatures. Beginning at 3rd level, these warlocks can use their action three times per day to bestow minor wishes upon others, empowering them with temporary enhancements such as increased ability scores or advantageous conditions. Each wish requires proper compensation from the recipient, ensuring a fair exchange for the granted boon.

As they progress, Pact of Wishes warlocks expand their repertoire to include more significant wishes, such as granting temporary invulnerability, restoring a creature to full health, or imbuing them with extraordinary abilities for a limited duration. At 14th level, their mastery reaches its zenith, enabling them to fulfill ultimate wishes that defy mortal limitations, such as resurrection or the temporary mastery of powerful spells.

In essence, the Pact of Wishes offers unparalleled versatility and narrative potential, allowing warlocks to navigate intricate bargains with their Genie patron while wielding extraordinary powers to shape the fate of allies and adversaries alike.

While within the Genie's Focus, you and up to three allies within 30 feet gain the benefits of a short rest. You remain aware of your surroundings outside the object and can hear what is happening nearby.

• Spellcasting Focus: The Genie's Focus also serves as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells. You can use it to perform the somatic and material components of spells, even if your hands are full.

• Shared Sanctuary (10th Level):

  • At 10th level, your bond with your Genie patron strengthens. You can now invite up to three willing creatures to enter your Genie's Focus with you during a short rest. While inside, you and your companions gain the benefits of a short rest as normal, remaining aware of your surroundings outside the object. This feature can be used twice per long rest.

 

Pact Boon: Wish Granter

• At 1st level, you gain the ability to grant minor wishes, reflecting your pact with a powerful Genie patron. Three times per day, you can use your action to grant a minor wish to a willing creature within 30 feet of you. The wish must be feasibly achievable by the creatures own efforts within a three-day period, using their current abilities.

• Proper Compensation: The creature must provide proper compensation in return for the wish granted. This could include a service, an item of value, or fulfilling a task for the warlock.

• Feasibility: The wish must be something that the recipient can feasibly accomplish through their own efforts within three days, considering their current capabilities. This includes tasks that are within the realm of possibility based on the recipient's skills, resources, and circumstances.

• Examples:

  1. Enhanced Abilities: Granting temporary proficiency in a skill or tool for a limited duration.
  2. Small Boons: Providing temporary hit points or a minor bonus to an ability score for a short period.

Elemental Resistance

Elemental Resistance

 At 10th level, your patron grants you protection from the harsh elements of their domain. You gain resistance to one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, or thunder. You choose the type of resistance each time you finish a long rest, reflecting the shifting nature of your patron's elemental influence. Additionally, when you take damage of the type you have resistance to, you can use your reaction to gain immunity to that damage type until the start of your next turn. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all uses after a long rest
