Lesser Servant’s Pact

Sworn and Beholden: The character, in exchange for the immediate knowledge and power, voluntarily subjects themselves to a Gaes of their Patron. It cannot be to act against their own best interests, or harm their companions. The lesser Warlock is for characters wishing to bond themselves to a power in exchange for specific service. All such Lesser Warlock Pacts require the sacrifice 1 Essence and 1 HP permanently.

Lesser Warlock Pacts

Fighting Prowess: For Fighters seeking Eldritch Knight powers without having to train for a long time and learn their arcane skills. Such characters are not limited to the recommended cantrip/spell selections of their archetype/pathway. At 5th level, they can cast a Ritualized Find Familiar – the creature type is that of the character’s patron. The familiar is nominally a spy for the patron as well, and will always be whispering promises of power, trying to advance further pacts and bonds. If killed, it cannot be summoned again until the character reaches the next level.

Arcane Prowess: Thieves seeking Arcane Trickster powers without having to train for a long time and learn their arcane skills. Such characters are not limited to the recommended cantrip/spell selections of their archetype/pathway. At 5th level, they can cast a Ritualized Find Familiar – the creature type is that of the character’s patron. The familiar is nominally a spy for the patron as well, and will always be whispering promises of power, trying to advance further pacts and bonds. If killed, it cannot be summoned again until the character reaches the next level.

Simple Power: Characters not meeting the Charisma requirement for single or multi class have this option available to them – but only where the GM dictates circumstances allow the power making the pact to offer it. For instance, while in the Feywild, where their power is greatest, a greater faerie spirit (but not arch-fey) may offer a lesser pact.

  1. The character does not gain a Path at 3rd level if they progress that far.
  2. A spell abilities are treated as if they were Ritualized.
  3. Characters are encouraged to participate in Soul Sacrifice for power
