The Inevitable Patron Warlock

Many chaotic entities attempt to make pacts with mortals, from archfey to fiends to elder powers beyond the stars, but there is a force of pure law in the cosmos in the form of The Inevitables. These extraplanar constructs have a single purpose to enforce fundamental laws of nature and morality. Every once in a while, they choose a mortal they deem worthy to act as their extension, but should their chosen digress from a lawful path, they are quickly abandoned.  

The Inevitable Patron Features

This subclass is only open to a warlock with a purely lawful alignment. If the warlock's alignment would ever change, they lose access to features from this subclass and must either regain their alignment or find a new patron.

1st level: Expanded Spell List, Manifestations of Order, Bastion of Law

Manifestations of Order

Just like in the case of Clockwork Soul Sorcerers, your connection to the Planes of Order manifests in special ways. Consult the Manifestations of Order table and choose or randomly determine a way your connection to order manifests while you are casting any of your spells.

d6 Manifestation
1. Spectral cogwheels hover behind you.
2. The hands of a clock spin in your eyes.
3. Your skin glows with a brassy sheen.
4. Floating equations and geometric objects overlay your body.
5. Your spellcasting focus temporarily takes the form of a tiny clockwork mechanism.
6. The ticking of gears or ringing of a clock can be heard by you and those affected by your magic.

   

Bastion of Law

Beginning at 1st level, your patron gives you inner strength to protect yourself. You gain proficiency with medium and heavy armor and shields. You can use your shield as a spellcasting focus. You also learn the shield spell and can cast it once per short rest without spending a spell slot.  

Lawful Blast

Starting at 6th level, when you cast eldritch blast, you can choose to have the first beam to hit a target cause 1d10 lawful damage instead of force damage. Chaotic creatures are vulnerable to lawful damage while lawful creatures are immune to it. If all of the beams fail to hit a target on your turn, you can roll to attack with one more beam.  

Unstoppable Mentality

By 10th level, your mind cannot be stopped from reaching your goals. You become immune to the stunned and paralyzed conditions, and magic cannot put you to sleep.  

Clockwork Precision

At 14th level, your magic is as inevitable as your patron's judgment. Whenever you would roll d20 for a spell attack or a target creature would roll to save against your spell, you can choose 10 as a result from the die instead of rolling.
