Fiendish Pact Warlock
When it comes to the trade of souls for power, few do more business than the fiends. Among every people of the world, there are those desperate enough for power to accept even the most terrible of prices. Contrary to popular expectation, these are not all howling madmen, or fools seduced by false promises of power. Many who offer up their souls do so with eyes open, believing their cause important enough to be worth risking everything for. Of course, many of these stories end in tragedy nonetheless, with victorious Warlocks defeating invading armies only to inflict back the cruelties their people suffered tenfold, calling up demonic servants to extract a terrible revenge on those who have wronged them.
Class: Warlock
Level: 1st-20th
Replaces: Deceive Item, Imbue Item
Benefit: The Warlock gains the following abilities.
Fell Fortune: At 1st level, the Warlock gains a taste of the devil's own luck. Once per day per four Warlock levels, he may reroll any d20 roll he makes. Using this ability is a free action, and he may wait until after the result of the roll is determined before using this ability, though he may not use it more than once on the same roll.
Familiar: At 6th level, the Warlock gains a familiar. This is identical to the Wizard ability, except that it scales with his caster level, and any familiar he acquires has the Fiendish template. If he gains the Improved Familiar feat, that familiar is also Fiendish (even if it is of a type to which the Fiendish template cannot normally be applied).
Call Fiend: At 11th level, the Warlock gains the ability to summon up allies from the lower planes. This ability is similar to planar binding, except that any creature summoned must be an Outsider or Magical Beast with the Evil and Extraplanar subtypes, it has no HD limit, and he cannot summon a creature who's CR is greater than his character level minus four (for example, an 11th level Warlock could summon a Succubus, but could not summon a Bone Devil). The summoning ritual takes an hour, and automatically replicates the effects of both an appropriate magic circle and, if necessary, a dimensional anchor. He may not have more than one creature summoned with this ability at a time, and when used he may not use it again until the next time the sun rises or sets.
Demon Lord: At 16th level, the Warlock ascends to the title of Demon Lord (or an analogous position in some other fiendish hierarchy if he prefers). His type changes to Outsider and he gains the Evil subtype. He no longer ages. He gains access to a demiplane, whose traits such as size, composition, structure, and actual planar traits he may determine within reason. He may plane shift there at will, and designate a specific arrival point on the plane for that ability. He may populate this demiplane with creatures he can summon with his Call Fiend ability. If he would die outside the demiplane, he is instead recalled there by his plane shift ability, his hit points are restored to full, and freed of any negative effect that could be removed by a heal spell. Magic that prevents planar travel prevents this effect.
