Class Options

Here are some of the options available to characters in the Oron Campaign Setting:

Warlock (Magus)
The Warlock's class skills are Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Fly (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Arcana), Knowledge (Nature), Knowledge (Planes), Knowledge (Dungeoneering), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Spellcraft (Int), Swim (Str) and Use Magic Device (Cha).

Pact Magic

A Warlock derives their magical power by bartering with otherworldy spirits, rather than through meticulous study. Warlocks use their Charisma, rather than their Intelligence, to determine all class features and effects relating to their Magus class, such as bonus spells per day, the maximum spell level they can cast, the save DCs of their spells and their arcane pool and magus arcana.

Eldritch Blast (Su)

As a free action, a Warlock can conjure bolts of arcane energy that can be used as a ranged attack dealing 1d8 points of force damage plus the Warlock's Charisma modifier. At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, this damage increases by 1d8 (To a maximum of 5d8 at 20th level). Eldritch blast has a range of 30ft.

Eldritch Blast can be affected by abilities and effects that augment weapons, such as the Weapon Focus feat and the Arcane Pool magus ability.

This replaces the Spell Combat and Greater Spell Combat abilities.

Spellstrike (Su)

At 2nd level, whenever a Warlock casts a spell from the magus spell list, they can deliver the spell through their Eldritch Blast ability.

The spell's range becomes that of Eldritch Blast (Typically 30ft) and is delivered in the form of a ranged attack. If the spell would normally target an area, it affects only that target instead. If the spell would create multiple rays or projectiles, it only creates one. If successful, the Eldritch Blast deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell. Enemies may take saving throws as normal.

This changes the Magus' Spellstrike ability.

Magus Arcana

Warlocks may select from the following Arcana - They may only apply one of these to their Eldritch Blast at any given time:

Eldritch Spear: The range of Eldritch Blast is increased to 100ft.

Eldritch Chain: A warlock's Eldritch Blast can chain to secondary targets. If the Warlock hits with his Eldritch Blast attack, he may then roll a second attack against another enemy within 30ft of the original target. An Eldritch Chain can hit one secondary target in this manner for every 5 levels the Warlock possesses (Maximum 4 at 20th level). Targets hit by secondary blasts take half-damage. If a Warlock misses any of their attacks, the chain immediately ends. The Warlock must roll spell penetration for each target separately. Eldritch Chain cannot his any target more than once. A Warlock must be at least 6th level to select this Arcana.

Eldritch Bolt: The warlock may fire their Eldritch Blast as a 30ft line, rather than a ranged touch attack. When doing so, the Warlock may never make more than one attack per round. Enemies in the line may make a saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 Warlock Level + CHA) for half damage. If the Eldritch Blast is delivering a spell that requires a reflex save already, the target only makes a single reflex save against both effects at the highest DC. Other saves are made as normal. Single-target spells affect only the first enemy hit by the Eldritch Bolt. At 9th level, and every 3 levels thereafter, the range of Eldritch Bolt increases by 30ft (To a maximum of 120ft at 15th level). A Warlock must be at least 6th level to select this Arcana.

With one use of this ability, a House Templar can heal 1d6 hit points of damage for every two House Templar levels she possesses.
