 +====== Warlock ======
  
 +
 +Rather than study, you turned to a dark entity to gain the power you crave. You likely followed in the steps of other warlocks by enlisting in service to a powerful devil. You might have sought out such a bargain on your own or succumbed to temptation when a fiend seduced you and brought you over to the side of darkness.
 +
 +Making a pact with the Devil takes a special set of circumstances. Desperation, fear, and anger might have led you to take the first steps down this dark road. Perhaps you want revenge against someone far more powerful than you and you neither have the time or luxury to devote yourself to learning magic the old-fashioned way. It could also be that powerful enemies hunt you and this pact was the only way to save your neck. Better a fate worse than death that might come in ten, twenty, or more years than the agony of the bonfire, the torturer’s tools, hunger, disease, or some other calamity tomorrow.

 +//**Devil’s Mark (Magical):**// The devil’s dread attention causes you to be cursed. No effect can end this affliction. The curse manifests as an upside-down star burned into the center of your forehead. In addition to the effects of being cursed, the star imposes 1 bane on your rolls in social situations, but it signifies that your soul belongs to a devil, and thus fiends do not harm you unless you harm them first.
 +
 +
 +//**Magical Doom (Magical):**// When a creature within 5 yards of you dies or becomes incapacitated and that creature has a Health score of 10 or higher, you can use a reaction to gain 1 doom token and the incapacitated creature that enabled the use of this talent dies. You retain the token until you expend it. You expend these tokens to use talents gained from this path. Discard any unexpended doom tokens after you rest.

The saber uses the normal stats for the weapon, but the weapon damage is 3d6, or 4d6 at level 6. In addition, when you get a critical success on an attack using the saber, the target also catches fire (luck ends).
 +
 +

 +
 +
 +//**Infernal Might (Magical):**// You can use an action, or a reaction when you are harmed, to expend 1 doom token and heal 1d6 damage. Then, for 1 minute, you make attribute rolls with 1 boon.
