Why Fiend Patron?

The Orc Fiend Patron Warlock combines Orc's racial traits with the Fiend Patron's specialized features. As a Blaster, this build leverages spellcasting with a unique twist from the Fiend Patron archetype.

Key features include Dark One's Blessing, Fiend Spells, Dark One's Own Luck. With CHA as the primary ability at 15, this build maximizes the Warlock's core strengths.

Fiend Patron Features

Dark One's Blessing

Level 3

When you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your warlock level (minimum of 1).

Fiend Spells

Level 3

You gain additional spells that count as warlock spells for you: Burning Hands, Command (level 1); Blindness/Deafness, Scorching Ray (level 3); Fireball, Stinking Cloud (level 5); Fire Shield, Wall of Fire (level 7); Flame Strike, Hallow (level 9).

Dark One's Own Luck

Level 6

When you make an ability check or saving throw, you can add a d10 to your roll. You can do so after seeing the initial roll but before any of the roll's effects occur. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Fiendish Resilience

Level 10

When you finish a short or long rest, you can choose one damage type. You gain resistance to that damage type until you choose a different one with this feature. Damage from magical weapons or silver weapons ignores this resistance.

Hurl Through Hell

Level 14

When you hit a creature with an attack, you can instantly transport the target through the Lower Planes. The creature disappears and hurtles through a nightmarish landscape. At the end of your next turn, the target returns to the space it previously occupied (or the nearest unoccupied space). If the target is not a fiend, it takes 10d10 psychic damage as it reels from its experience. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
