EARLY ACCESS - The Forge Warlock, Fire and Steel at your Command (Patreon)

Howdy folks! Here's the early access release of the Forge Warlock! It's been rebalanced to make it align with other Warlock subclasses. The text is admittedly quite huge for a subclass, but that's really only 'cos of the mini-system baked into its features.

Changelog

♦ General

- A lot of balance changes, now that I've done a bit of math.

♦ Level 3: Forge Spells

- Removed True Strike

- Replaced Haste with Blinding Smite, 'cos that is WAY too strong

♦ Level 3: Forge's Hammer

- Now grants training with Medium armor and shields.

- The hammer now has a pocket dimension property, letting you dismiss or summon it from there.

- Temper Steel now lets you teleport the hammer into your hand, and then dismiss it immediately after. This is to avoid any "hand economy" issues during gameplay.

- The additional damage of Temper Steel now only hits once, but its effects still last 

♦ Level 6: Forge Empowerment

- Empowered Tempering has been merged with Empowered Hammer.

- Call Armament has been added, to allow palyers to swap between multiple weapons.

- Empowered Armament renamed to Empowered Steel, allowing you to make magical weapons or armor with a +1/2/3 bonus.

- Added Armor of Fire, which is an armor-centric ability from ALPHA v1, letting you gain armor from your Charisma instead of Dexterity.

- Rebalanced Softenign Steel a bit, since it's a little too strong.

♦ Level 10: Forge Hand

- Removed the additional Tempering Dice Fire damage from Will of Fire since that's already implied to be included in the attack.

♦ Level 14: One with Fire and Steel

- Added a clause that lets the wielder deal Temper Steel's Fire damage once on each of their turns.

♦ Craft Alteration Options

- Added rules that prevent a weapon from being increased beyond a total damage of 12.

- Lengthened Grip decreases die size by 2 instead of 1.

- Minimalist Materials decreases die size by 1 instead of 2.

- Added a new option that increases the die size of finesse weapons.

- Various other balance changes.
