Introducing The Warlock of Back to the Dungeon RPG

So here is my Warlock. Not quite a totally D20 cut and paste. Perhaps a bit too powerful? Lack of game balance? I never saw game balance as a problem I always saw players making dumb decisions trying to fight enemies head on with no strategy as the problem.


Warlock
One who has made a pact with dark forces for great power. With this pact they are allowed great power with very little variety but they can use their magic unlimited times per day.

Armor: Ring mail or less.
Weapons: Warlocks prefer any simple type weapons such as short swords, rapiers, spears, staves and daggers. Not that it matters as Warlocks are sorry fighters.
Hit Points: 6 +1d6 a level
To Hit:-1
Natural 20: On a natural 20 the Warlock may gain half the damage done to his own hit points.

A warlock can use his Dexterity to dodge and flip with acrobatic precision as long as he does not have any Armor past +3. He use his Constitution to resist having his Invocations messed up.


Eldrich Blast based on Charisma. Range is Charisma + Level.
Damage is 1d8 from 1st to 4th level, 1d10 from levels 5th to 8th, 1d12 from 9th to 10th, And finally 1d20 from on up.

Human Warlock Teh Darada
Teh Darda was a weak sniveling yet very good looking young man. He always used his charms and good looks to worm his way into the noble circles where he knew they were practicing magics of great power. He unfortunately found what he was looking for as the nobility were Warlocks and has made a pact with a 30,000 year old demon named Kythiusis. He now has all the power but must forfeit his soul when he dies to the demon.

  1. Just FWIW, the Warlock is not open content, so you should be careful.

    Realistically, they're not going to do anything, but eh

  2. I think the presentation is different enough to be another version. Plus this version is way simpler!

    Here is the latest edit.
