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

Changes from base class

Eldritch Beam attacks

Alignment

Any non-good

Bug: There might be a bug that allows some characters take AotS despite having incompatible alignment. However, such characters cannot take the True Patron: Fiend feat. (DDO Forums)

True Patron: Fiend

The only pact option for Acolytes. Same as Fiend pact, except:

• No autogranted spells
• Level 6 ability: Instead of Dark One's Luck, gain Fiendskin: +1 profane bonus to Fire Resistance per Warlock Level.

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

Important Tip: Multiclass characters can pick up these feats (just like Monk stance upgrade feats).

Example) 19 Cleric, 1 Acolyte of the Skin -> They can take Pact Attumement at 6, 12, 18 as their feat choice.

This is a total of 8d8 Blast Dice, 8d6 Pact Dice. For comparison, a standard Warlock at level 18 has 5d8 Blast Dice and 9d6 Pact Dice (can push to 6d8 Blast and 10d6 Pact at level 20).

Enhancements

• Give up Enlightened Spirit enhancements
• Gain Acolyte of the Skin enhancements
