I really loved the work done in the Pactbound – A Warlock Overhaul mod, it makes taking the warlock class to lvl 12 more appealing.
The Patcbound mod was done following the new PHB 2024 so the tweaks introduced in this mod files are not PHB2024 accurate, but some quality of life or personal taste improvements. The mods were done for my use but decided to upload them in case anyone else wants to use them.
There are 6 main files:
* GOO Psychic Overflow casts on target (no longer needed as it has been implemented in the main mod)
* Lvl 1 Subclass Selection: Changes the progression files on Pactbound to return subclass selection to level 1. It is against the idea of applying the PHB2024 RAW but it will help solve some conflicts with subclass mods. Needs testing.
* More Spellslots and Invocations: This file adds 1 more warlock spellslot unlocked at level 7, I always believed that waiting from lvl 2 to lvl 11 to increase a spellslot is a bit too much. This extra spellslot allows the warlock more spellcasting without making it op in my opinion.
The added 2 new invocations are meant to free your choices and allow you to take 2 previously pact boons and chose more of the specific invocations. One is unlocked at level 9 and the second is unlocked at lvl 11. This last invocations allows you to choose from the entire list of eldritch invocations available in the Pactbound mod so you can take 2 of the lvl12 pact boon specific invocations.
* Force damage additional option: This adds an option to choose Force damage in the 3 instances where you can choose between Radiant, Necrotic or Psychic Damage. These are:
- Pact of the blade
- Lifedrinker
- Chain Master's Teachings
* Better Pact of the Tome: Pact of the Tome has always been the least interesting option of the 3 in my opinion. I felt it was too weak to take in comparison with the other 2. This makes changes to 3 Pact of the Tome invocations to make it a little more interesting in my opinion:
- Pact of the Tome: Adds the ability (as a toggeable) to cast your ranged Attack spells as melee attack spells (same as the Daredevil Gloves). this will allow you to focus on blasting (mainly with eldritch blast) without worrying about penalties. Spells learned at level 5 now scale with your warlock level. Changed Slow with Bestow Curse for better use of the scaling feature.
- Undying Servitude: Animate Dead will now scale with level and can be casted freely once per rest. It now requires Animate dead ++ as a dependancy for the scaling feature.
- Eldritch Master: instead of just letting you cast Magical Cunning a second time, this also adds one more beam to your eldritch blast. I believe this will allow pact of the tome to compete with the new 3 attacks per turn Pact of the blade.
- Spells learned at lvl 5 and with undying servitude invocation will scale according with your warlock level: Warlock lvl 5 - Spell lvl 3, Warlock lvl 7 - Spell lvl 4, Warlock lvl 9 - Spell lvl 5 and Warlock lvl 12 - Spell lvl 6.
* Minions of Chaos invocation: I've added the invocation to the list of invocations from the Pactbound mod. The spell can now be casted once per long rest without any use of spellstlots and it upcasts to summon a myrmidon at warlock level 12. Needs testing
Any of these files requires the base mod the Pactbound – A Warlock Overhaul
The Better Pact of the Tome file requires the mod Eldritch Blast Overhaul (Scarlet Warlock) (Patch 7 Ready) . This was done to include all of the variants for eldritch blast without the need to make separate files.
SPECIAL THANKS
Ooreeoo for his amazing Warlock Overhaul mod. (Without it none of this files will work)
VladmirFFXI for his awesome variants for eldritch blast. They add a ton of versatility to the warlock class and improve quite a bit the spell animations.
