C&C Warlock

Gunlock Patron Features

1st Level – Gunsmith

You gain proficiency in single type of firearm of your choice (or an equivalent proficiency for your setting).  This allows you to be proficient in the use of this type of gun. This otherwise functions identically to the Pact of the Blade, except, it only applies to guns.

6th Level – Gunslinger

You may duel wield pistols allowing you to shoot twice a round (for simplicity’s sake if you hit with your primary attack you can automatically apply an additional die of damage to the same target or another target within range without rolling to-hit again).

10th Level – Imbue

You may channel a single invocation, eldritch blast, or touch spell through your guns. This is an additional effect to the damage done by the weapon itself.

14th Level – True Grit

You make mark upon the world with daring deeds. Some gunlocks claim they belong to a mystical way of the gun, but it’s more likely that the volatile nature of firearms simply prunes the unlucky and careless from their ranks. Whatever the reason, all gunlocks have grit. In game terms, grit is a fluctuating measure of a gunslinger’s ability to perform amazing actions in combat. At the start of each day, a gunslinger gains a number of grit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).  You use grit to fuel Deeds (see below).  You can regain a used grit whenever you score a critical hit or land the killing blow and all deeds cost 1 grit and must be performed with your gun of choice and all actions are Bonus actions unless otherwise stated.

• Deadeye. You may cancel disadvantage for long-range ranged attacks. 
• Gun Kata.  You have an uncanny knack for getting out of the way of ranged attacks. When a ranged attack is made against you, you 5 feet as a reaction; doing so grants you a +2 bonus to AC against the triggering attack. Alternatively, you can drop prone to gain a +4 bonus to AC against the triggering attack.
• This is my Gun. If for any reason your gun is unable to shoot – runs out of charges, runs out of bullets, breaks etc – you may spend a grit to “clear the chamber” and it starts working again.
• Kalibar’s Quickdraw.  You may spend grit to go first in the turn or cancel surprise for yourself.
• Pistol-Whip. You can make a surprise melee attack with the butt or handle of your firearm. You do 1d6 bludegoning damage and may add your CHA as bonus damage.
• Blast Lock. You make an attack roll against the DC of a lock, if you hit, you destroy the lock.  Against magical locks, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You may only attempt this once per lock.
• Stop the Bleeding.  You make a firearm attack and then press the hot barrel against yourself or an adjacent creature to staunch a bleeding wound. Instead of dealing damage, the shot heels the target of 1d6 + CHA damage.
• Dead Shot. You make an attack roll against a target and continue to make attack rolls at -2 until you miss. The -2 is accumulative per attack after the first. Once you miss you can roll this many die of damage against the target.
• Bullet Hell. You consume all your grit to make that many attacks against targets in range.

20th Level – Patron Intervention

You roll on your patron’s intervention table, you may use personal sacrifice to enhance the result and you add your CHA modifier to the roll. You may use this ability before level 20 but you take a penalty on the roll equal to the difference between your current level and level 20.  There is no penalty at level 20. You take a cumulative -5 penalty each time you use this more than once per week. Patron Intervention takes an entire round to use. You may always pick a lower result if you wish and DM/CK has final say on if a creature is affected (for example, god-like or legendary beings may have a reduced effect).

Patron Intervention: The Lich
Roll	Effect
1	Lost, failure and patron taint, lose 1d6 random spells and you may not call on your patron again for 1 month.
2-11	Failure, lose 1d4 random spells and you may not use this ability for 2 weeks.
12-13	THE LICH regards your pathetic invocation attempt with utter disdain. Since it’s obvious to him that you need some more backbone with which to marshal your weakling prospects, he grudgingly (and temporarily) grants you 1d6 of Strength (to a maximum of 24). These points of Strength can only be used for the personal sacrifice ability, and do not contribute to attack modifiers or Strength checks. The added Strength points last for only 1 hour.
14-17	THE LICH enhances your T-cell count, granting you an increased level of aggression that temporarily grants advantage on all initiative rolls and grants you 1d16 temporary hit points. In cases where combat has already begun, treat this effect as moving the shaman +1d10 places forward in the established initiative order.
18-19	THE LICH alters the your atomic structure, temporarily shifting it into being comprised of unknown and far denser elements. This effect subtly alters your appearance, causing you to appear “more real,” and granting you +d10 AC and +1d24 hit points that last until the end of combat.
20-23	THE LICH imbues you with dark matter energy, causing your eyes to glow a deep ultra-violet, while your physical mass, hit point total, and abilities temporarily double (abilities cannot be increased beyond 24). This effect lasts until the end of combat.
24-27	THE LICH creates and grants you THE BLACK HOLE SUN bullet that is a microscopic black hole. This miniature dark star appears as a marble-sized hole in the fabric of reality that orbits your head until commanded to attack. As an action, you may direct the micro black hole to strike any person or object (up to 10’ square feet in total volume) making a range attack with a +10 bonus. Any object or creature successfully struck will be immediately spaghettified and sucked into the ebon orb in screaming agony, only to reappear in a distant parallel dimension. The micro black hole lasts 1d4 rounds before evaporating into quantum foam and vanishing.
28-29	THE LICH creates and grants you THE RED DWARF bullet grants one of your bullet’s the additional trait to transmute one target enemy’s form into dark matter, greatly but selectively increasing the target’s gravity well. Any other enemies (your choice) within 50’ of the primary target of this attack must make a DC 18 DEX save or be immediately and irresistibly drawn to the target by gravimetric forces. All foes affected will end up pinned together in a pile, unable to move or to even breathe, dying of asphyxiation within in a number of rounds equal to the individual’s CON score.
30-31	THE LICH transforms your guns particle accelerators which fire proton beams capable of sundering normal matter into its component sub-atomic particles. The twin proton beams automatically strike a target of your choosing effectively disintegrating the target in an explosion of muons, gluons, and hard radiation. All enemies you designate within 20’ of the initial target must make a DC 18 DEX save or suffer one of the following random effects. Roll 1d7: (1) target is hit by a squall of up or down quarks, and either gains or loses manifold amounts of mass (50/50 chance of either), driving the target deep into the mantle of the planet or sending the target flying off into outer space, (2) target is irradiated with strange or charm quarks and the target becomes un/lucky, gaining advantage/disdavantage on all d20 rolls (50/50 chance of either), and target’s entire molecular structure suddenly quantum teleports 13.7 billion light years away to an extremely disastrous or highly beneficial locale, (3) target is pummeled by a stream of tachyons, and target time travels 1d10x1,000 years into the past, (4) target is subjected to a lethal dose of gamma rays, and immediately transforms into a gigantic, monstrous green version of himself before collapsing and dying of runaway cancerous tumors, (5) target is bathed in a spray of neutrinos, causing the target’s body to become mass-less, invisible, and unable to interact with the physical universe, (6) target is struck by beam of muons which convert target’s body into molecular hydrogen, which immediately ignites in a ball of fire (3d6 damage to any within a 10’ range), (7) target is showered in gluon particles, increasing target’s Higgs boson field infinitely; target’s body collapses into a miniature black hole which immediately evaporates taking any enemy targets in melee range with him, (8) target is bombarded with meson particles which convert one-half of target’s atomic structure into anti-matter, causing the target to explode
32+	THE LICH’s approval of the your actions is evident as he personally manifests as a 12 foot tall skeleton in a top hat and black leather jacket and armor with his signature twin pistols, destroying all your enemies in a hail of gunfire.  Roll 1d100 twice taking the hire number, to determine the number of attacks THE LICH makes before disappearing. Each attack does 1d12+6 of damage per shot. THE LICH remains until the end of combat but the number of shots slowly decreases, halving by the original number rolled each time until it hits zero when THE LICH tips his top hat, and fades to black. You automatically take patron taint when this result is rolled.

As with all things, the Gun must eventually end; the final Bullet will leave the chamber, and all will be reloaded.
