[Mod Request] Other Worldly Patron for Warlock (The Muse)

Based on the following listing of a Homebrew Patron I found a couple years ago (created by AnotherMatt https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LLB9lgFb6c9QBn-Ge_2 ), could someone with modding experience create a level 1-20 compatible subclass for the Warlock? I have ideas on how to implement some of the powers, but i don't know how to actually mod. My only modding experience is with 7 days to die.

 

Bonus Proficiencies

You gain proficiency in Performance and a Proficiency in 2 Musical Instruments. You ignore Bard requirements for magic items.

Just give a new Proficiency and add the Bard tag to the class/subclass

Curse of the Chord

You can curse a creature to be susceptible to your words and music. As a bonus action, choose a creature that is within 60 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1 minute. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:

  • You know the general direction the creature is to you as long as it is within 1000 feet.
  • Whenever you cast a spell with a Verbal component and the cursed creature can hear you, it must make a Charisma saving throw or take 1d6 damage. The damage is Psychic if you spoke the verbal component and thunder if you used an instrument instead. The damage die increases at level 6(d8) level 10(d10), and level 14(d12).
  • Whenever you bring a cursed creature to 0 hit points, each creature within a 5ft radius must make a Constitution saving throw as a wave of thunder erupts from the fallen foe. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10 ft away from the creature. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and is not pushed..

The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. You cannot use this feature again until you have completed a short or long rest.

The above curse could work similar to how Hex or Hunter's mark works (but as a class feature and not a spell, since it is a short/long rest, though personally i think there could be a spell version of the mod because i like the hex/hunter's mark recast if you hold concentration). and targets who are affected cannot become invisible, since you know where they are. pretty sure the damage scaling and the death burst is doable. 

 

Symphonic Shield

As a reaction when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is targeted with an attack, you can sheathe the target in booming energy. This initial shockwave gives the attacker disadvantage on their attack roll. If the attack still hits the booming energy expands to reduce the damage by 1d10 + your Charisma modifier + your Warlock level.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.


Should be easy to implement, but again i'm not familiar with how modding for BG3 is, but i've seen similar effects in game.. namely the Tadpole power that counters a spell and damages the caster, but this is more of a padding of sound that softens the blows.

 

Dulcet Charm

Starting at 10th level, you can you can speak with such soft and soothing tones that you can lull creatures into a sense of security and trust.

As an action, you can attempt to charm a creature under the effects of your Curse of the Chord. The creature makes a Charisma saving throw vs your spell DC. If it fails the saving throw, your Curse ends and it is charmed by you for 1 hour or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it. The charmed creature regards you as a friendly acquaintance. When the charm ends, the creature does not know it was charmed by you. If it succeeds the saving throw then you take psychic damage equal to your Warlock level and the creatures knows you tried to charm it.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Seems pretty straight forward.. it's a free charm, not spell slot, against an affected creature. the main thing here is that it says creature, not humanoid.. but it is a level 10 ability.. so DOminate monster.. since it regards your allies as friendly as well.... 

 

Orchestral Assault

Starting at 14th level you can use an action to musically and mentally assault a creature. As an action you appear floating in front of a creature within 60 feet of you. As you begin to play your instrument you duplicate to the point of surrounding the creature and your music drastically increases in volume. The creature takes 6d6 psychic damage and 6d6 thunder damage + your Warlock level. Your duplicates rescind and you return to the point you were previously. The creature must make a Charisma Saving Throw or be Stunned until the end of your next turn.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

 

This sounds more complicated than it is, it is mostly fluff and visuals, so whatever visual effect you want to add.. like Spirit of faith VFX but purple/pink for the thunder/psychic damage swirling around the target... or altered color mirror image or whatever. as far as a 14th level ability goes, it's pretty average, no spell slot used, but it's a short/long rest restriction. 

also there is an expanded spell list in the original i linked above, not all spells are in BG3, but may be in the 5e spell mod. I (complete bias here) personally think/would like to have the bard and warlock spell list merged and maybe an extra warlock spell slot starting at 9th level and every 3 levels there after until you reach the max of Normal Warlock + Charisma modifier. 

there is this version as well that uses Bardic Inspiration.. https://imgur.com/gallery/hVZj6wn

and maybe the ability to gain a Different Pact choice that act like the Bardic Subclasses .. I just want an all in one Bardlock with Pact weapon and path of valor lol. i wish i could mod this and i hope someone skilled will at least get some inspiration (pun intended.. i swear.. i planned that) with this idea.
