Acolyte of the Skin

Acolyte of the Skin is a variant Warlock archetype themed around Demonic power and transformation. Introduced in Update 58.

Alignment options: Lawful, True, or Chaotic Neutral

Changes from base class

 * True Patron: Fiend
 * The only pact option for Acolytes. Same as Fiend pact, except the level 6 ability: give up Dark One's Luck, gain Fiendskin: Your skin has been grafted with demon skin, granting you some of its inherent defenses. You gain a +1 profane bonus to Fire Resistance per Warlock Level.
 * Unlike other pacts, this does not offer any autogranted spells.


 * Eldritch Blast and Pact dice
 * Give up Warlock's blast and pact dice progression, instead receive the following feats automatically:
 * 1: Lesser Pact Attunement: +2d8 Blast Dice, +2d6 Pact Dice
 * 6: Pact Attunement: +2d8 Blast Dice, +2d6 Pact Dice
 * 12: Greater Pact Attunement: +2d8 Blast Dice, +2d6 Pact Dice
 * 18: Ultimate Pact Attunement: +2d8 Blast Dice, +2d6 Pact Dice

This is a total of 8d8 Blast Dice, 8d6 Pact Dice. For comparison, a standard Warlock at level 18 has 5d8 Blast Dice and 8d6 Pact Dice (can push to 6d8 Blast and 10d6 Pact at level 20).


 * Multiclass characters can pick up these feats (just like Monk stance upgrade feats).


 * Enhancements
 * Give up Enlightened Spirit enhancements
 * Gain Acolyte of the Skin enhancements

Past life
