List: Warlock Alterations

General

Extended Range

Type: Form

Level: 1 ; Effective Spell Level: 1

Cost: 0 ; Save: None

Your eldritch blast can strike any target within 120 feet.

Flurry of Blasts

Type: Form

Prerequisite(s): Extended Range [general]

Level: 8 ; Effective Spell Level: 4

Reserved Energy: 3 ; Save: None

As a full-round action, you shoot two blasts at targets within 120 feet, at a penalty of 2d6 from each blast (minimum 1d6). This ability can target multiple foes, capped by your maximum number of blasts. Any blast beyond the first that hits the same target adds 1d6 points of damage. If you are using a essence alteration that requires a saving throw, a target attempts its save only once (even if it was hit multiple times), but takes a penalty on the save equal to the number of times it was hit beyond the first. If you are using a essence alteration that requires a caster level check or combat maneuver check, you roll the check only once against each target, but you gain a bonus on the check equal to the number of times it was hit beyond the first. 

At 15th level, the number of eldritch blasts in your flurry of blasts increases by 1 and the penalty increases by 1d6. Additionally, if you are under the effects of haste or similar magic that increases your number of attacks in a full-attack action, the number of eldritch blasts in your flurry of blasts increases by 1.

As this form alteration must be paid in reserved energy, it must be activated separately as a standard action and provokes attacks of opportunities as normal, however it will apply automatically whenever you choose to take a full-round attack action until dismissed.

Grappling Blast

Type: Essence

Level: 9 ; Effective Spell Level: 5

Cost: 1 ; Save: None

Whenever a creature takes damage from your altered blast, you can attempt a combat maneuver check to have the blast grapple that opponent. Your bonus on this check is equal to 2 + your warlock level + your Constitution modifier (treat the blast as a Huge creature). The blast only grapples opponents; it can't perform other functions of grapple maneuvers such as pinning or moving the opponent. If the blast is already grappling an opponent, it receives a +5 bonus on its combat maneuver check to maintain the grapple, as normal.

You can use this alteration only if you also use the cloud [rime] or wall [general] form alterations.

Kinetic Alteration

Type: Form

Level: 1 ; Effective Spell Level: 1

Reserved Energy: 1 ; Save: None

You alter your weapons with you eltritch energies. You can use this form alteration as part of an attack action, a charge action, or a full-attack action to add damage to each of your natural attacks, unarmed strikes, or attacks with wielded melee weapon until the beginning of your next turn. Since kinetic alteration is part of another action, using this alteration doesn't provoke any additional attacks of opportunity. You deal an additional 1d6 damage per 3 dice of your eldritch blast's damage (minimum 1d6), and this damage is of the same type as your eldritch blast's damage. This extra damage ignores spell resistance.

As this form alteration must be paid in reserved energy, it must be activated separately as a standard action and provokes attacks of opportunities as normal, however it will apply on all attacks until dismissed.

Type: Form

Level: 5 ; Effective Spell Level: 3

Cost: 1 ; Save: None

You send an eldritch ball of energy into a particular square within 30 feet, dealing 1/2 the normal damage to all creatures in that square. The mobile blast lasts until you dismiss it as a free action, lose consciousness, or move farther than 30 feet from it. Each round on your turn as a move action, you can move the mobile blast to another square within range; either way, it continues to deal damage to all creatures in its final square each round if they fail their saving throws.

You can only have a single mobile blast in existance at a time. The mobile blast will last for a maximum number of rounds equal to your Constitution modifier, and afterward you can't create another mobile blade for one minute. A mobile blast is always extremely loud and visible.
