The Dragon Tablets: Iteration Three – Warlock

Dark Warrior by eerilyfair

You have been alchemically transformed through the Trails of Change. And whether you were nice or nen no longer matter. You are a Warlock now. Faster, stronger, and smarter than any average human could ever hope to be, because of Bioenhancement. And they haven’t just altered you, they have also trained you to take full advantage of your new circumstances.

The general shape and color of your original race remain, but after the transformation, your are no longer a member of that race. Or in other words, you have lost any traits on that racial template. Because of this complete and unique transformation, this template will be both a racial and a dramatic template. And as such, it will cost 500 points, rather than the standard 400 points.

Notes

Diet: Because of the alchemical process that changed you into a Warlock, you have unusual dietary requirements. This is represented by your food and rations being twice as expensive.

Eyes: Your eyes look like they don’t have scleras or pupils. There’s only the iris. This doesn’t affect their ability to see.

Reduced Range: Two levels were added to the Reduced Range limitation, 20 for -40% and 50 for -50%. There is likely a reason for why the limitation was designed with only three levels, but more were needed and this follows the same progression.

Social Stigma: People are aware that you are an alchemically transformed freak. Most have a -1 reaction to you, while monsters react at -2, even if you aren’t looking for them.

Warlock Gear: You have access to Warlock gear at 10% off the final price.

This image doesn’t give me the vibe I was looking for, but with the kind of eyes they have, I couldn’t find something more suitable.
