I wanted more, so i decided to create a one more...    Celestial Patron   Your patron is a Lord or Lady Angel (usually a Solar or a Planetar), an immortal of considerable power or any other goodly creature of importance.   Expended Spell List   1st: Bless, Protection from Evil 2nd: Blindness, Lesser Restoration 3rd: Daylight, Protection from Energy 4th: Death Ward, Fire Shield 5th: Dispel Evil, Geas   Soldier of Heaven: Being a Celestial, your patron has been waging war since the beginning of times, he knows the importance of being prepare and trained you accordingly. Starting at 1st level, you gain medium armor proficiency.   Helping Hands: Starting at 6th level, whenever you failed a saving throw, you can call on your patron for help. When you do, you may reroll your saving throw and are considered Bless (as per the spell) for the new roll. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.   Angel's Skin: Starting at 10th level, you gain damage reduction equal to your CHARISMA modifier (minimum 1) against damage from spells used by evil creatures.   Aura of Light: At 14th, as an action, an halo of heavently light emanates from you. The halo sheds bright light  in a 30' radius and dim light for another 30' after. Each nonhostile creature in the aura (including you) is affected by a Divine Favor spell and an Heroism spell. The aura also dispel any darkness, magical or otherwise. It last for 1 min, or until you dismiss it with a bonus action. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

#3 SpedGuy Sep 03, 2014 20:09:06	Lets look at the Good Outsiders that could empower a Warlock...   I couldn't imagine an Archon 'breaking the rules' in that way.  Guardinals seem to be traditionally associated with Druid/Ranger magic.  Eladrin could just be refluffed 'Archfey' with almost no need to adjust the power set.   That leaves the less specific 'Angels' (Solars etc), which I could see under some circumstances empowering specific mortal 'Saints' with Warlock-y powers.   In a related note, I would like to see an 'Elemental' version... my home campaign setting has Djinn and such as one of the big villainous forces, and empowering some Warlocks seems right up their alley.  For now, I'm calling Efreet 'Fiendish', Marid 'Archfey', and the rest 'Alien'
