I'm planning to make the BBEG in my game a high level Warlock. Of course the problem being the a high level Warlock kinda sucks like nobody's business. So I'm making some changes to the class. Please let me know what you think.
Changes:
Increases
Hit Die:d6
Skill Points at first level:(4+Int Modifier) x4
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 4+Int Modifier
Additions
1st- Eldritch Shield
3rd- Eldritch Power
4th- Eldritch Retribution
8th- Eldritch Assault
Eldritch Shield
On any round where you don't use Eldritch Blast you may use Eldritch Shield. Eldritch Shield provides an unnamed deflection bonus to your AC. This bonus is equal to the number of dice you have of Eldritch Blast.
Eldritch Power
You may add your Cha modifier (up +4) to the damage done by each die of Eldritch Blast you have.
Eldritch Retribution
Three times per day when you are attacked (and take damage) you may immediately use your Eldritch Blast against one of the people who attacked you. You may only use this ability against people who attack you with melee weapons, or touch spells (including ranged touch spells and also spell like abilities such as another Warlock's Eldritch Blast). You must still roll to hit that person but you receive a +5 to hit them. If you are attacked by multiple people who deal you damage in the same round you must choose which one you will use Eldritch Retrbution on. If an attack does enough damage to kill or knock you unconcious you may not use Eldritch Retribution.
Eldritch Assault
As a full round action you may use Eldritch Blast to make multiple attacks. The number of Blasts you can use is the same as the number of Attacks Per Round you would get from you BAB. These additional Eldritch Blasts do not have to have the same target. None of these Eldritch Blasts may be modified.
You may use Eldritch Assault a number of times per day equal to your Warlock Level divided by 4 with no rounding.
