Has anyone made a continuation of the Hellfire Warlock PrC?

Well, the continued progression of the Hellfire Blast is problematic, but I allowed one of my players to take a version that spaced it out into 1-3-5 abilities, with the ability to summon a hellfire elemental filling in the class feature spaces.

If I recall correctly, a single one at lvl 2, at the cost of con damage per size (1 for a small, 2 for a medium, and 3 for a large. At level 4, you could summon multiple, but you took nonlethal damage equal to the prior mention for each round they're summoned. I'd have to find my notes to be sure, tho.

The usual solution is Legacy Champion and Uncanny Trickster.   Bloodlines are helpful too, but not required.
I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right.

Was kinda looking for a homebrew continuation if there was one not the questionable legacy champion/uncanny trickster stacking; but if there isn't any I'll see how my DM rules uncanny trickster seeing how he doesn't to add any more ability systems in than he already has.

I wrote a variation of hellfire warlock for my Magipunk Holomancer class (which is based on warlock), called the Lens Mage.  It's 6 levels instead of three, and can't be abused with Legacy Champion or Uncanny Trickster (or bloodlines).  Feel free to adapt it, if you like.

Well, don't forgot your warlock's scepter. Not a bad 8,305 gp a warlock can spend. Then add gloves of eldritch admixture for another 2,500. Kick that blast up another +8d6.

Heck, I'd argue that if a pair of gloves for three charges a day is 2,500. I'd ask if I could get 30 charges a day for 25,000. I mean, you could just buy 10 pairs of gloves and change them out.
