performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the
previous box.
Future Bargain
At 6th level, your patron allows you to borrow luck from the
future. When you make an attack roll or an ability check, you
can roll an additional d20. You can choose to use this feature
after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined.
You choose which of the d20s is used for the attack roll or
ability check and record the number of the roll.
The next time you make an attack roll or an ability check
and one of the die rolled equals the recorded number, you roll
an additional d20 and use the lower result.
Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you
finish a short or long rest.

Present Warp
Starting at 10th level, you can attempt to change the present.
Whenever you make a saving throw, you can roll a d6. If the
roll is odd, you gain a bonus to the saving throw equal to the
roll. If the roll is even, you instead take a penalty to the saving
throw equal to the roll. You must choose to do so before you
make the saving throw.
Streak of Fate
Starting at 14th level, you can push fate to its limits. When you
deal damage to a creature with an attack or a spell, you can
choose to roll a d20. On a roll of 10 or lower, you take psychic
damage equal to the roll. This damage ignores resistance and
immunity. On a roll of 11 or higher, you deal force damage to
the creature equal to double the roll and you can choose to
regain the use of this feature which you then must use
immediately.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Guided by Fate
Many warlocks bound to the Fateful let fate guide every aspect
of their lives. Decisions are made on a coin flip and chance is
the only constant they know. Whenever you finish a long rest,
you can choose to roll on the table below to determine your
character trait for the day.

Eldritch Invocations
At 2nd level, a warlock gains the Eldritch Invocations feature.
Here are five new options for that feature.
Bestial Harbingers
Prerequisite: 7th level
You can cast animal messenger at will, without expending a
spell slot or material components.
Card Dealer
Prerequisite: Pact of the Cards feature
Other willing creatures can use their action to draw a card
from your box as if they used the Pact of the Cards feature.
Cards drawn by other creatures count against the number of
cards you can draw between long rests.
Door to Destiny
Prerequisite: 12th level, Pact of the Cards feature
You always know the location of the box granted to you by the
Pact of the Cards feature while both of you are on the same
plane of existence.
While the box is within 500 feet of you, you can cast
dimension door without expending a spell slot, targeting a
space within 10 feet of the box. You regain the ability to do so
when you finish a long rest.
Rest for the Wicked
Prerequisite: 5th level
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can choose one of the
warlock spells you know and replace it with another spell
from the warlock spell list, which must be of a level for which
you have spell slots.
You can also cast Leomund's tiny hut once without
expending a sell slot. You regain the ability to do so when you
finish a long rest.
Struck by Chance
Prerequisite: Pact of the Cards feature
Whenever you make an attack roll with advantage, you can
choose to take a gamble with fate. If you do so and the lower
of the d20 rolls would also hit the target, you use the highest
number possible for each damage die. If the lower of the d20
rolls would miss the target, you instead use the lowest
number possible for each damage die. You can’t reroll any of
the damage dice if you use this invocation.
