The Genie
A genie is a powerful being that rules over vast areas of the elemental planes and exerts influence over lesser spirits and elementals. Their motives are diverse, but due to their competitive behavior with lesser deities, they tend to exhibit arrogance and the exercise of power over mortals. When they enter into a pact with a warlock, they do so to expand their sphere of influence or simply enjoy exercising control over others.
This subclass with a genie as a patron is particularly suitable for players who want to focus on spellcasting. Due to the many possibilities and the need for creative use of spells, this subclass is more suitable for experienced players.
A genie as an Otherworldly Patron can offer various powers depending on the type of genie, providing their warlocks with an accordingly extended spell list. Unlike other patrons, a genie offers a base set of spell options plus 4 additional spells related to the type of genie:
- Dao: Earth Genie
- Djinni: Air Genie
- Efreeti: Fire Genie
- Marid: Water Genie
Best Features:
- Elemental Gift: Starting at level 6, you take on additional characteristics of your patron and gain resistance to the genie’s element. Additionally, you can hover and fly for 10 minutes as a bonus action.
- Limited Wish: Starting at level 14, you can request a wish from your patron, which grants you a 6th level spell (or lower) from any spell list. To use this wish again, the warlock needs to take a long rest of 1D4.
