Warlock - Infernal Engine Patron
Cityscape Leveler, by Leon Tukker
Swear a pact to a brutal war machine from the lower planes with the Infernal Engine Patron!
Infernal Engines are terrible war machines, great automatons constructed to serve in fiendish wars. Your patron may have been forgotten, lost to time. Or perhaps it is still in active service, gathering allies for its masters or even for its own dark purposes. Its warlocks are granted power over fire and iron, deploying hellforged metal against their enemies.
Design-wise: The spell list aims to pull in a bunch of metal- and fire-themed options without trampling on the Fiend patron’s toes too much. It includes a number of strong damage spells, a few great control options, and a badass minion in Summon Fell Machine. Hellforged Steel lets you create an enchanted suit of armor, for solid AC and retaliation damage - it supports a melee-warlock playstyle or can be used on allies for a support warlock. Blood and Fire gives you an incentive to alternate piercing and fire damage, which is enabled by the rest of your kit. Siege Warlock brings a flavorful ribbon, a great damage resist, and better tactical options with the ability to stand unharmed in your own wall of fire. And Hellfire Machine, at 14th, lets you directly command your patron’s power, trampling over your foes with a might war engine.
As always, you're invited to come discuss and offer feedback on Discord!
