|summary=
Magical abilities often manifest in bloodlines. The most famous examples of this are the Dragonmarks. Most who bear them have little interest in finding out how they work, preferring to instead spend their time exploiting the gifts they've been given for profit. Some, however, instead seek to master the secrets of the Marks. Most learn little beyond a few tricks for using their mark more efficiently, but others uncover truths about these powers that many feel are better off hidden.
|prereq=The Warlock must have a dragonmark to chose this ACF. Either a true dragonmark or an aberrant one is sufficient.
|level=1st-20th
|class=Warlock
|replaces=Deceive Item, Imbue Item
|benefit=The Warlock gains the following abilities.
}}

'''Extra Mark:''' At 1st level, the Warlock's connection to his dragonmark deepens. Once per day, he may use one of its abilities after expending all the daily uses he is normally entitled to.

'''Dual Mark:''' At 6th level, the Warlock's insight into the nature of dragonmarks reveals to him a profound symmetry between true and aberrant dragonmarks. If he has a true dragonmark, he gains an aberrant dragonmark. If he has an aberrant dragonmark, he gains a true dragonmark. He gains whatever feats he has for the other type of dragonmark as bonus feats (for example, if he has the Least and Less Marks of Making, he gains Aberrant Dragonmark and Lesser Aberrant Dragonmark as bonus feats). As he gains additional feats, he gains additional bonus feats as well.

'''Mutable Mark:''' At 11th level, the Warlock learns to change the nature of his marks, sometimes warping his flesh to do so.By performing a one-hour ritual, he may change the type of his true dragonmark. This replaces all his dragonmark feats (Least Dragonmark, Lesser Dragonmark, Greater Dragonmark, Dragonmark Prodigy, Dragonmark Adept, and Dragonmark Visionary). He may also choose new abilities for his Aberrant Mark, and his Siberys Mark if he possesses one. Other feats are not changed, and may become useless until he regains the appropriate mark. If the new mark he has selected requires a different race, he is effected as if by a reincarnate spell, though he does not lose a level, and the race is always one suitable to the new mark (if multiple races are possible, choose one at random). Once he performs the ritual, he may not do so again until the next time the sun rises or sets.

'''Dragonmark Brand:''' At 16th level, the Warlock has learned to mark others, gaining control over them in the process. A target that fails a Will save is dominated (as by dominate person). They also gain a dragonmark for which they are eligible, or an aberrant mark if they are not of a race that normally manifests dragonmarks. The Warlock chooses which mark they manifest, and what SLAs they gain. They gain the Least Dragonmark (or Aberrant Dragonmark) feat as a bonus feat, and gain the Lesser Dragonmark (or Lesser Aberrant Dragonmark) feat as a bonus feat if they have at least 6 hit dice, and gain the Greater Dragonmark (or Greater Aberrant Dragonmark) feat as a bonus feat if they have at least 9 hit dice. They gain these feats only if they do not already have them. This ability may be used three times per day, the Warlock may have no more than three targets currently dominated, and may not dominate a target who's CR is greater than his character level minus four.

'''Special:''' Levels in Dragonmark Heir (ECS), Heir of Siberys (ECS), and Aberrant Heir (Web Enhancement) stack with Warlock levels for determining which abilities the Warlock gains. For example, a Warlock 4/Dragonmark Heir 2 would gain Dual Mark. Dragonmark Heir and Aberrant Heir also provide new invocations and improved eldritch blast damage as if the character had gained a level in Warlock.

A Warlock with this pact does not count as having a dragonmark for the purposes of qualifying for the Heir of Siberys prestige class. If he does take levels in Heir of Siberys, he must select the same mark for that prestige class as he does for his feats. Mutable Mark changes the powers granted by Heir of Siberys.
