Acolyte of the Skin
Warlock |
---|
Starting a... |
Acolyte of the Skin is a variant Warlock archetype themed around Demonic power and transformation. Introduced in Update 58.
Changes from Base Class[edit]
- 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).

Past Lives[edit]
![]() |
Past Life: Acolyte of the Skin | You were an Acolyte of the Skin in a past life. You occasionally find yourself throwing your hands into the air. Each time you acquire this feat you gain +1 MRR and +5 Fire Spell Power. This feat can be stacked up to three times.
Note: This class counts as a Warlock for the purposes of Completionist. Past Life: Acolyte of the Skin is a Free Feat, which means it is permanently added to the character that unlocks it and you won't need to choose it, neither at new life nor at level up. |

Spells[edit]
- Acolyte of the Skin casts warlock spells, which are drawn from the Warlock spell list.
- A Warlock must choose and prepare their spells in advance (see below).
- To prepare or cast a spell, a warlock must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a warlock's spell is 10 + the spell level + the warlock's Charisma modifier.
- Like other spellcasters, a warlock can prepare only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day.
- Their base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Warlock.
- The Arcane Spell Failure from light armor (but not shields) is ignored by Warlocks when casting Warlock spells. The Enlightened Spirit Tier IV enhancement extends this benefit to medium armor.
