Stories of warlocks binding
Warlock
With a pseudodragon curled on his shoulder, a young elf in
golden robes smiles warmly, weaving a magical charm into
his honeyed words and bending the palace sentinel to his will.
As flames spring to life in her hands, a wizened human
whispers the secret name of her demonic patron, infusing her
spell with fiendish magic. Shifting his gaze between a
battered tome and the odd alignment of the stars overhead, a
wild-eyed tiefling chants the mystic ritual that will open a
doorway to a distant world.
Warlocks are seekers of the knowledge that lies hidden in
the fabric of the multiverse. Through pacts made with
mysterious beings of supernatural power, warlocks unlock
Work with your DM to determine how big a part your
magical effects both subtle and spectacular. Drawing on the
ancient knowledge of beings such as fey nobles, demons,
devils, hags, and alien entities of the Far Realm, warlocks
piece together arcane secrets to bolster their own power.
Sworn and Beholden
A warlock is defined by a pact with an otherworldly being.
Sometimes the relationship between warlock and patron is
like that o f a cleric and a deity, though the beings that serve
as patrons for warlocks are not gods. A warlock might lead a
cult dedicated to a demon prince, an archdevil, or an utterly
alien entity—beings not typically served by clerics. More
often, though, the arrangement is similar to that between a
master and an apprentice. The warlock learns and grows in
power, at the cost of occasional services performed on the
patron’s behalf.
The magic bestowed on a warlock ranges from minor but
lasting alterations to the warlock's being (such as the ability
to see in darkness or to read any language) to access to
powerful spells. Unlike bookish wizards, warlocks
supplement their magic with some facility at hand-to-hand
combat. They are comfortable in light armour and know how
to use simple weapons.
Delvers into Secrets
Warlocks are driven by an insatiable need for knowledge and
power, which compels them into their pacts and shapes their
lives. This thirst drives warlocks into their pacts and shapes
their later careers as well.
themselves to fiends are widely known. But many warlocks
serve patrons that are not fiendish. Sometimes a traveller in
the wilds comes to a strangely beautiful tower, meets its fey
lord or lady, and stumbles into a pact without being fully
aware of it. And sometimes, while poring over tomes of
forbidden lore, a brilliant but crazed student’s mind is opened
to realities beyond the material world and to the alien beings
that dwell in the outer void.
Once a pact is made, a warlock’s thirst for knowledge and
power can’t be slaked with mere study and research. No one
makes a pact with such a mighty patron if he or she doesn’t
intend to use the power thus gained. Rather, the vast majority
of warlocks spend their days in active pursuit of their goals,
which typically means some kind of adventuring.
Furthermore, the demands of their patrons drive warlocks
toward adventure.
Creating a Warlock
As you make your warlock character, spend some time
thinking about your patron and the obligations that your pact
imposes upon you. What led you to make the pact, and how
did you make contact with your patron? Were you seduced
into summoning a devil, or did you seek out the ritual that
would allow you to make contact with an alien elder god? Did
you search for your patron, or did your patron find and
choose you? Do you chafe under the obligations of your pact
or serve joyfully in anticipation of the rewards promised to
you?
pact will play in your character’s adventuring career. Your
patron’s demands might drive you into adventures, or they
might consist entirely of small favours you can do between
adventures.
What kind of relationship do you have with your patron? Is
it friendly, antagonistic, uneasy, or romantic? How important
does your patron consider you to be? What part do you play in
your patron’s plans? Do you know other servants of your
patron?
How does your patron communicate with you? If you have
a familiar, it might occasionally speak with your patron’s
voice. Some warlocks find messages from their patrons
etched on trees, mingled among tea leaves, or adrift in the
clouds—messages that only the warlock can see. Other
warlocks converse with their patrons in dreams or waking
visions, or deal only with intermediaries.

Warlock | Class Features

Otherworldly Patron
At 1st level, you have struck a bargain with an otherworldly
being of your choice: , each of which is detailed at the end of
the class description. Your choice grants you features at 1st
level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
Patron Spells
Each patron has a list of associated spells. You gain access to
these spells at the levels specified in the patron description.
Patron spells don’t count against the number of spells you
know.
If you gain an patron spell that doesn’t appear on the
warlock spell list, the spell is nonetheless a warlock spell for
you.
Pact Magic
Your arcane research and the magic bestowed on you by your
patron have given you facility with spells. See chapter 10 for
the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the
warlock spell list.
Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell
list. You learn additional warlock cantrips of your choice at
higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the
Warlock table.
Spell Slots
The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have. The
table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your
spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your warlock
spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You
regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long
rest.
For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level
spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell thunderwave, you must
spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from
the warlock spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Warlock table shows
when you learn more warlock spells of your choice of 1st
level and higher. A spell you choose must be o f a level no
higher than what’s shown in the table's Slot Level column for
your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a
new warlock spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the warlock spells you know and replace it
with another spell from the warlock spell list, which also
must be o f a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells,
so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your
spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma
modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock
spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5) as a
spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.
Eldritch Invocations
In your study of occult lore, you have unearthed eldritch
invocations, fragments of forbidden knowledge that imbue
you with an abiding magical ability.
At 2nd level, you gain two eldritch invocations of your
choice. Your invocation options are detailed at the end of the
class description. When you gain certain warlock levels, you
gain additional invocations of your choice, as shown in the
Invocations Known column of the Warlock table.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the invocations you know and replace it with
another invocation that you could learn at that level.
Pact Boon
At 3rd level, your otherworldly patron bestows a gift upon you
for your loyal service. You gain one of the following features
of your choice.
Pact of the Blade
You can use your bonus action to create a pact weapon in
your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee
weapon takes each time you create it (see chapter 5 for
weapon options). You are proficient with it while you wield it.
This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of
overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks
and damage.
Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away
from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use
this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action
required), or if you die.
You can transform one magic weapon into your pact
weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the
weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour,
which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss
the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and
it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter.
You can’t affect an artefact or a sentient weapon in this way.
The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you
perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use
a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears
at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the
bond breaks.
Pact of the Brand
Your patron marks your body with a symbol or feature
indicative of their influence, called a Pact Mark, used to
channel yours and your patron's power through your body.
Your mark is a symbol, like a tattoo or a blemish, or a physical
feature, such as a unique eye or a wound, and cannot be
removed unless the body part it is on is also removed. Your
mark, and by extension your body, counts as an arcane focus
for your warlock spells. In addition, you ignore verbal
components for spells that also have somatic components.
If you lose your mark, you can spend a 1-hour ritual to
entreat your patron to give you another in a new location.
This ritual can be performed during a short or long rest, and
it destroys the previous mark.

 Pact of the Chain
You learn the find familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual. The
spell doesn’t count against your number of spells known.
When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the normal
forms for your familiar or one of the following special forms:
imp, pseudodragon, quasit, or sprite.
Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo
one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to make one
attack of its own.
Pact of the Cloak
You can use your action to conjure a pact cloak around
yourself. The cloak has six different forms, with each form
corresponding to one of the six saving throws, and you can
choose which form it takes each time you conjure it.
As long as you are wearing the cloak and not any medium
or heavy armor, your walking speed is increased by 10 feet.
Also, when you or another creature within 5 feet of you fails
the save associated with your cloak’s current form, you can
use your reaction to add your proficiency bonus to that save.
Pact of the Talisman
You are gifted a magical talisman symbolic of your patron; a
mysterious trinket that may be used to channel your power.
You may summon this talisman back to your hand as long as
it is on the same plane of existence as a bonus action and you
You can cast your arcanum
know its distance and direction at all times. If your talisman
is lost or destroyed, you may reform it by performing a one
hour ritual during a short or long rest.
Your talisman acts as a conduit for your magic; with the
exception of spells that only affect the caster, you may cast
any of your known warlock spells using a warlock spell slot,
or any of your warlock cantrips, through your talisman as
long as it is on the same plane of existence. When a spell is
cast in this manner, the spell will be resolved as if originating
from the talisman's location. This talisman will also double as
a spell focus while you are holding it.
You may direct spells cast through your talisman if the
target is within your line of sight. Unguided spells will be cast
at the nearest valid target or area following the spell's
behaviour, or the DM may choose the target. If an undirected
spell has no valid targets, the spell is wasted.
You may also choose to let a creature carrying your
talisman direct a spell using their reaction if they are aware
of its eldritch nature. Only spells with a casting time of an
action or less may be directed this way.
Your talisman may be subject to direct attack if it isn't being
worn or carried. It has an AC of 10, 10 hit points and
immunity to poison and psychic damage. It is also immune to
any harmful effects caused by spells cast through it.
This talisman projects an aura strongly associated with
your patron's magic that may be visible to a detect magic
spell, and dimly glows with eldritch energy after it is used to
cast a spell, making it immediately apparent as the source.
Your talisman will function properly regardless of whether
it is being worn, held or carried in a creature's inventory.

Pact of the Tome
Your patron gives you a grimoire called a Book of Shadows.
When you gain this feature, choose one spell from the
warlock spell list of a level that you can cast. While the book
is on your person, you can cast that spell using warlock spell
slots. They don’t count against your number of spells known.
You learn an additional spell of a level that you can cast at
3rd, 5th, 7th, or 9th levels.
If you lose your Book of Shadows, you can perform a 1-
hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron.
This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest,
and it destroys the previous book. The book turns to ash
when you die.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Mystic Arcanum
At 11th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret
called an arcanum. Choose one 6th-level spell from the
warlock spell list as this arcanum.
spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a
long rest before you can do so again.
At higher levels, you gain more warlock spells of your
choice that can be cast in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th
level, one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell
at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum
when you finish a long rest.
Eldritch Master
At 20th level, you can draw on your inner reserve of mystical
power while entreating your patron to regain expended spell
slots. You can spend 1 minute entreating your patron for aid
to regain all your expended spell slots from your Pact Magic
feature. Once you regain spell slots with this feature, you
must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

Otherworldly Patron
The beings that serve as patrons for warlocks are mighty
inhabitants of other planes of existence—not gods, but almost
godlike in their power. Various patrons give their warlocks
access to different powers and invocations, and expect
significant favours in return.
Some patrons collect warlocks, doling out mystic
knowledge relatively freely or boasting of their ability to bind
mortals to their will. Other patrons bestow their power only
grudgingly, and might make a pact with only one warlock.
Warlocks who serve the same patron might view each other
as allies, siblings, or rivals.
The Archfey
Your patron is a lord or lady of the fey, a creature of legend
who holds secrets that w ere forgotten before the mortal
races were born. This being’s motivations are often
inscrutable, and sometimes whimsical, and might involve a
striving for greater magical power or the settling of age-old
grudges. Beings of this sort include the Prince of Frost; the
Queen of Air and Darkness, ruler of the Gloaming Court;
Titania of the Summer Court; her consort Oberon, the Green
Lord; Hyrsam, the Prince of Fools; and ancient hags.
Archfey Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spells
1st sleep
3rd phantasmal force
5th blink
7th greater invisibility
9th dominate person
Fey Presence
Starting at 1st level, your patron bestows upon you the ability
to project the beguiling and fearsome presence of the fey. As
an action, you can cause each creature in a 10-foot cube
originating from you to make a Wisdom saving throw against
your warlock spell save DC. The creatures that fail their
saving throws are all charmed or frightened by you (your
choice) 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.
Misty Escape
Starting at 6th level, you can vanish in a puff of mist in
response to harm. When you take damage, you can use your
reaction to turn invisible and teleport up to 60 feet to an
unoccupied space you can see. You remain invisible until the
start of your next turn or until you attack or cast a spell.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Beguiling Defences
Beginning at 10th level, your patron teaches you how to turn
the mind-affecting magic of your enemies against them. You
are immune to being charmed, and when another creature
attempts to charm you, you can use your reaction to attempt
to turn the charm back on that creature. The creature must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock
spell save DC or be charmed by you for 1 minute or until the
creature takes any damage.
Dark Delirium
Starting at 14th level, you can plunge a creature into an
illusory realm. As an action, choose a creature that you can
see within 60 feet of you. It must make a Wisdom saving
throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a failed save, it
is charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for 1 minute or
until your concentration is broken (as if you are concentrating
on a spell). This effect ends early if the creature takes any
damage.

 Until this illusion ends, the creature thinks it is lost in a misty
realm, the appearance of which you choose. The creature can
see and hear only itself, you, and the illusion.
You must finish a short or long rest before you can use this
feature again.
The Fiend
You have made a pact with a fiend from the lower planes of
existence, a being w hose aims are evil, even if you strive
against those aims. Such beings desire the corruption or
destruction of all things, ultimately including you. Fiends
powerful enough to forge a pact include demon lords such as
Demogorgon, Orcus, Fraz’Urb-luu, and Baphomet; archdevils
such as A smodeus, Dispater, Mephistopheles, and Belial; pit
fiends and balors that are especially mighty; and ultroloths
and other lords of the yugoloths.
Fiend Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spells
1st burning hands
3rd scorching ray
5th fireball
7th infernal shackle
9th flame strike
Dark One’s Blessing
Starting at 1st level, when you reduce a hostile creature to 0
hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your
Charisma modifier + your warlock level (minimum of 1).
Dark One’s Own Luck
Starting at 6th level, you can call on your patron to alter fate
in your favour. When you make an attack roll, ability check or
a saving throw, you can use this feature to add a 1d4 to your
roll. You can do so after seeing the initial roll but before any of
the roll’s effects occur.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier, regaining expended uses after you finish
a long rest.
Fiendish Resilience
Starting at 10th level, you can choose one damage type when
you finish a short or long rest. You gain resistance to that
damage type until you choose a different one with this
feature. Damage from magical weapons or silver weapons
ignores this resistance.
Hurl Through Hell
Starting at 14th level, when you hit a creature with an attack,
you can use this feature to instantly transport the target
through the lower planes. The creature disappears and
hurtles through a nightmare landscape. At the end of your
next turn, the target returns to the space it previously
occupied, or the nearest unoccupied space. If the target is not
a fiend, it takes 10d10 psychic damage as it reels from its
horrific experience.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.

The Great Old One
Your patron is a mysterious entity whose nature is utterly
foreign to the fabric of reality. It might come from the Far
Realm, the space beyond reality, or it could be one of the
elder gods known only in legends. Its motives are
incomprehensible to mortals, and its knowledge so immense
and ancient that even the greatest libraries pale in
comparison to the vast secrets it holds. The Great Old One
might be unaware of your existence or entirely indifferent to
you, but the secrets you have learned allow you to draw your
magic from it.
Entities of this type include Ghaunadar, called That Which
Lurks; Tharizdun, the Chained God; Dendar, the Night
Serpent; Zargon, the Returner; Great Cthulhu; and other
unfathomable beings.
Great Old One Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spells
1st dissonant whispers
3rd detect thoughts

Awakened Mind
Starting at 1st level, your alien knowledge gives you the
ability to touch the minds of other creatures. You can
communicate telepathically with any creature you can see
within 30 feet of you. You don’t need to share a language with
the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances,
but the creature must be able to understand at least one
language.
Entropic Ward
At 6th level, you learn to magically ward yourself against
attack and to turn an enemy’s failed strike into good luck for
yourself. When a creature makes an attack roll against you,
you can use your reaction to cause that attack to miss,
regardless of the target's roll.
If the attack misses you, your attack rolls against the
creature before the end of your next turn have advantage.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Thought Shield
Starting at 10th level, your thoughts can’t be read by telepathy
or other means unless you allow it. You also have resistance
to psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic
damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of
damage that you do.
Create Thrall
At 14th level, you gain the ability to infect a humanoid’s mind
with the alien magic of your patron. You can use your action
to touch an incapacitated humanoid. That creature is then
charmed by you until a remove curse spell is cast on it, the
charmed condition is removed from it, or you use this feature
again.

Gloom Guard
At 10th level, you gain resistance to necrotic damage and
cannot have your maximum hit points reduced by an attack
that deals necrotic damage.
Shadow Prison
Starting at 14th level, your patron grants you the ability to
bind your foes in a torturous ethereal prison composed of
shadow energy. As an action, you can conjure a 10-foot radius
sphere of magical darkness centred within 60 feet of you that
lasts up to a minute. Creatures you designate within the area
must make a Wisdom saving throw versus your spell save DC
or become restrained, repeating the saving throw at the end
of each of their subsequent turns. Creatures that start their
turn restrained in this area take 3d10 necrotic damage,
taking half damage if they succeeded the initial save.
The Glacial Monarch
Your patron is a mysterious and extremely powerful being of
primal frost, a master of ice magic, ascended to new heights
of magical power. Over thousands of years of life, the glacial
monarch’s body has become melded with the ice that they
have controlled and formed into their lair, giving them total
omniscience over the frozen wasteland demi-planes they call
home. This being’s motivations for taking on warlocks are
completely unknown. Perhaps it wishes for even greater
magical power, expand its icy domain, or simply add more
creatures into its entourage.

Glacial Monarch’s Blessing
Starting at 1st level, you learn the shape water cantrip, which
counts as a warlock cantrip for you, and not against your
number of cantrips known. You may cast this cantrip using
your bonus action rather than your action, and you can use its
effects on any area of ice within range, including using it to
unfreeze that ice.
In addition, you gain resistance to cold damage.
Glacial Prison
At 6th level, you can call upon your patron to freeze your
enemies.
Whenever you deal cold damage with a spell of 1st level or
higher, you can force all enemies afflicted by the spell to
make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a creature is
restrained until the end of its next turn.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Frozen Shield
At 10th level, your proficiency in ice magic gives you
resistance to its effects. You gain immunity to cold damage,
and whenever a creature deals cold damage to you gain
temporary hit points equal to the damage that would have
been dealt. These temporary hit points last until the end of
your next turn.
Icy Tomb
Beginning at 14th level, when you hit a creature with an
attack, you can use this feature to instantly encase that
creature in ice. The creature becomes petrified by ice for 1
minute, after which the ice melts. At the start of each of their
turns, the petrified creature can make a Strength saving
throw if they have been dealt damage since the end of their
last turn. On a success, the ice is broken and the creature can
escape. Any creature encased in ice at the start of its turn
takes 3d6 cold damage.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.
The Keeper of the Depths
You've made a pact with an ancient, oceanic entity known as
the Keeper of the Depths. As life teems within the seas, so do
the secrets of the forgotten ages - sunken cities, ships lost at
sea, and treasures unimaginable gone to the darkest currents
that churn with horrible tentacles and creatures from
nightmare. The Keeper watches over all of these, and guides
them in its endless pursuit of knowledge. In the deepest
crevices where sunlight has never been seen, all oceans are
one to the Keeper of the Depths, and its desire is insatiable.

Secrets of the Depths
Starting at 1st level, your patron visits you in your dreams,
learning what you've learned in exchange for hidden
knowledge. Whenever you finish a long rest, you gain
proficiency in two skills, languages, or tools of your choice.
You remain proficient in these until you finish another long
rest, at which point you can choose new ones to replace
them.
Additionally, you gain a swim speed equal to your
movement speed.
Strange Aeons
At 6th level, the Keeper shares the secret of false immortality
with you. Whenever you have 0 hit points, you do not fall
unconcious but still must make death saving throws until you
are stabilized. However, you cannot personally take actions
that would directly result in you recovering hit points.
You can benefit from this feature once per short or long
rest.
Madness of the Deep
At 10th level, your patron allows you to call on its
unspeakable secrets and inflict them on others. As an action,
choose a creature within 60 feet. The target must make an
Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. If
they fail, they are driven mad, and must use their action to
make a melee attack against themselves during their turn.
This lasts until they succeed a repeated saving throw made at
the end of each of their turns.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Consumption of Mind and Soul
At 14th level, as an action, you can summon the terrible maw
of the Keeper to appear before you. A massive beak
surrounded by tentacles appears and attempts to grab a
target of your choice within 30 feet. When a creature is
targeted, it must make a Strength saving throw against your
warlock spell save DC to shake off the grasp of the horror. If
the target fails it is dragged into the beak and bitten, taking
6d10 piercing damage and 6d10 psychic damage. If this is
enough to reduce the the target to 0 hit points, you can
choose to have them be swallowed whole by the mouth,
consuming them. Either way, the maw then immediately
disappears. You can summon the maw once per long rest.
If you have a creature eaten using this feature, your patron
visits you in your dreams during your next long rest and
grants you a boon in return for the sacrifice. Choose any spell
of 5th level or lower. You can cast this spell once using a
warlock spell slot. If you do not cast this spell before killing
another creature with this ability and resting, it is lost.

 The Weaver of Lies
You've forged a pact with a creature known as the Weaver of
Lies, who dwells in the lost places beyond the eyes of man.
Its influence is felt each day, in the small comforts one tells
oneself to the greatest of blasphemies against the divine
concordant. Spiders great and small toil in service to the
Weaver, spinning webs to catch the unwary. This question
remains for you to answer - are you the spider, or the fly?

You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.

Poisoned Mind
When you forge this pact at 1st level, your patron teaches you
the first lie ever told.
You gain resistance to poison damage and advantage on
saving throws made to resist poison.
Also, whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that
targets a single hostile creature, you can use a bonus action
to force the target to make a Constitution saving throw. If it
fails, it is poisoned for one round.
A Touch on the Web
At 6th level, you learn to summon the slaves of the Weaver to
extract vengance. Whenever you take damage from a melee
attack, you can use your reaction to summon a horde of
spiders into squares adjacent to you. They have the same
statistics as a Giant Spider (MM 328), except they are Small.
You can summon up to one spider per two warlock levels, and
they disappear when slain or after one minute has passed.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Trickster's Dance
At 10th level, you can decieve even the fabric of reality. You
gain proficiency in Dexterity saving throws.
Additionally, you can cast blink without expending a spell
slot once per short or long rest.
Warlock | Otherworldy Patrons

Step Into My Parlor
At 14th level, your blood flows with poison, yet your words
are smooth as honey. You gain immunity to poison damage
and the poisoned condition. As an action, you can attempt to
charm a single target that speaks a language.
The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your
warlock spell save DC. If they are in combat, they have
advantage on this saving throw. If they fail, they are charmed
for one minute and must obey a single verbal command of
your choosing that does not put them in visible danger. After
they fail to resist once, they have disadvantage on subsequent
attempts to resist. Whenever a creature succeeds on their
Wisdom saving throw, all subesquent attempts to resist have
advantage. A creature that succeeds their Wisdom saving
throw is aware that you are attempting to manipulate them,
but cannot detect the magical nature of the manipulation
without additional senses or detection by magical means.
Whenever you finish a short or long rest, the saving throw
for all creatures you've attempted to influence resets to
normal.
The Storm Lord
You’ve made a pact with a great elemental lord, a Storm Lord.
Massive and timeless, Storm Lords sails the winds of the
void, through the darkest places between the skies of
countless worlds. Its is perhaps the spirit that consumes the
remains of the purified souls of heroes, its wings might cover
the sky like the maelstroms he brings. This otherwordly
entity brings thunder, lightning and howling gales.
Storm Lord Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spells

Majesty of the Cloud Ruler
At 1st level, you can cause other creatures to cower as you
manifest a fraction of the awe-inspiring majesty of the Storm
Lord.
As an action, you can cause creatures of your choosing within
a 30-foot radius originating from you to make a Charisma
saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. The
creatures that fail their saving throws are knocked prone, and
have their speed halved 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.
Breath of the Gale
At 6th level, you passively manifest a small tempest around
you. Whenever you move at least 5 feet during your turn, you
can use your bonus action to cause ranged attacks against
you are made with disadvantage until the start of your next
turn.
You can do this a number of times per short or long rest
equal to your Charisma modifier.
Also, you have advantage on saving throws against
dangerous gases, clouds, and forceful winds or other similar
effects.
In addition, your vision is not obscured by fog or mist.
Rider of Lightning
Beginning at 10th level, your patron grants you a connection
to the primal places that are heard in the thunder. Whenever
you deal lightning or thunder damage or cast a spell granted
by your patron’s extended spell list, you can use a bonus
action to teleport to an unoccupied location within 5 feet of
the target.
Slayer of the King
At 14th level, you discover the secrets of the unspoken heroes
that sought the downfall of the Storm Lord.
As an action, you can cleave the air with a blade of purest
wind. All targets within a line 300 feet long and 300 feet high
must make a Dexterity saving throw against your warlock
spell save DC. Those that fail take force damage equal to
three times your warlock level, while those that succeed take
half as much damage.
Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you
finish a long rest.
The Ashen Hunter
You've made a pact with a primal spirit of fire and the hunt; a
scourge of the forests and fields, and a harbinger of ill fate.
This creature is wise and cunning, making deals with those
who have the potential to bring ruin and change. Some
consider the beast to be a native to the Plane of Elemental
Fire; others call it a fiend from the darkest hells. Whatever
the origin, the ember-eyed hunter often extracts payment in
the form of wishes gone awry: a demand for power becomes
a battle to retain one's humanity, while a request for peace
often has the price of eternal war.
Ashen Hunter Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.

Breath of Smoke
Starting at 1st level, you can breathe smoke and ash without
ill effect. Additionally, you can exhale a cone of blistering
embers 15 feet long as an action. Creatures within the cone
take fire damage equal to your warlock level + your Charisma
modifier, and also must make a Constitution saving throw
against your warlock spell save DC. Creatures that fail are
poisoned for one minute, but can repeat their saving throw
with advantage if they use an action to clear their lungs.
This action recharges when you finish a short or long rest.
Malevolent Retaliation
Beginning at 6th level, the Ashen Hunter empowers you with
a fragment of its terrible fury. Whenever you are attacked, you
can choose to unleash an explosive burst of smoke as a
reaction. Creatures within 20 feet of you are thrown 10 feet
directly away from you, and must make a Strength saving
throw. If they fail, they are knocked prone and take 2d6 force
damage.
The damage dealt by this feature increase as you gain
warlock levels, increasing by 1d6 at 10th (3d6) and 14th
(4d6) levels.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Endless Pursuit
At 10th level, your patron grants you a portion of its primal
stamina. Whenever you finish a short rest, you can choose to
reduce your level of exhaustion by one by performing a 10
minute ritual to draw strength from your patron. You can do
this twice, and you recover these uses when you finish a long
rest.
Additionally, you gain resistance to fire damage and your
movement increases by 5 feet.
Hounds of Hell
At 14th level, you unlock the power to incarnate in the form of
your patron. As an action, you assume the form of a medium
or large canine creature wrapped in flame. Your statistics are
unchanged, and your equipment merges into your new form
but still functions as normal. For 1 minute, or until you exit
this form as a bonus action, you gain the following benefits.
You ignore your current level of exhaustion.
Your speed increases by 20 feet.
You have advantage on attack rolls against a creature if at
least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the creature and
the ally isn't incapacitated.
You are immune to fire damage.
When you use this feature, two hell hounds (MM pg. 182)
burst forth from your burning flesh into squares adjacent to
you. They respond eagerly to your commands for the duration
of the change, and are elementals, not fiends.
Warlock | Otherworldy Patrons

 When you exit this form, you immediately attempt to
reabsorb the hell hounds. The hell hounds instantly fall apart
as ash and swirl back to you (up to 300 feet). If both hell
hounds have died or cannot return due to distance, you gain
1 level of exhaustion and are stunned for 1 round. Once you
use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long
rest.
The Archlich
You have made a pact with an archlich, a creature that has
existed since the dawn of the last age and holds secrets of
arcane magic that have been forgotten for thousands of years.
Such a being desires only to expand its own power and
influence, only using you as a pawn in its far larger scheme.
Any lich powerful enough to form a pact has lived for many
thousands of years, and many of them were involved in the
invention of lichdom itself.
Archlich Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spells
1st inflict wounds

Bond of Unlife
At 1st level, you can use an action on your turn to create a
sickening bond between yourself a creatures within 60 feet of
you that you can see. The bond lasts for 1 minute, or until the
creature ends its turn more than 60 feet away from you. As a
bonus action on your turn, you can siphon health from the
bonded creature. The target creature must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw, or take 1d4 + your Charisma
modifier necrotic damage. You regain hit points equal to the
damage dealt.
The damage increases as you gain warlock levels: 1d6 at
5th level, 1d8 at 9th level, 1d10 at 13th level, and 1d12 at 17th
level.
Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again
until you complete a short or long rest.
Undead Resilience
Starting at 6th level, you can call upon your patron to bring
you back from the brink of death. When you are reduced to 0
hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point
instead.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
complete a short or long rest.
Undying Flesh
By 10th level, your body has taken on the attributes of
undeath. You have resistance to necrotic damage, and you
age at a slower rate. For every 10 years that pass, your body
ages only 1 year.
Warlock | Otherworldy Patrons
14
Shared Fate
At 14th level, you can cause your bond of unlife to transfer
your own agony to your target. When you subject a target to
your bond of unlife, that creature must make a Wisdom
saving throw against your Warlock spell save DC. On a failed
save, the target’s life becomes tethered with your own.
Whenever you take damage within the next minute, the
tethered creature takes the same amount of damage. At the
start of each of its turns, the creature can repeat the saving
throw, ending the effect on a success.
The Scribes
Your pact has been made with a scribe from the worlds
above. A purveyor of knowledge and guide to many a desire.
The scribes are numerous, you may have forged a pact with
one, or several. Each has their own goals and motivations, but
each scribe is generally aligned with one another. Most
scribes care only for the accumulation of knowledge, and
guiding others down a path of their choosing.
Scribes Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spells
1st guiding bolt
3rd augury
5th revivify

9th legend lore
Celestial Orb
Starting at 1st level, the Scribes reveal the instrument of their
liberation. As a bonus action, you can call from the stars a
celestial orb and bestow it upon one ally within 30 feet. The
bearer of the orb gains the following benefit(s) until the end
of its next turn:
The bearer's movement speed increases by 10 feet.
When the bearer takes an attack action, they gain
temporary hit points equal to your warlock level plus your
Charisma modifier (minimum 1).
The celestial orb is immaterial, and the bearer does not need
free hands to gain these benefits.
You may conjure only one celestial orb at any given time.
However, you may pass the orb to another allied creature as a
bonus action. The new bearer gains the benefits of the orb as
detailed above until the end of its next turn. You cannot pass
the orb to a creature that already possesses it; you must
choose a new bearer each time.
You can return the celestial orb to the heavens as a bonus
action.
Aura Blast
Starting at 6th level, you grant your allies the wisdom to
reveal their inner aura. When possession of the celestial orb
is removed from one of your allies, their aura bursts forth.
Creatures within 5 feet of the former orb-bearer that you
choose take force damage equal to 5 plus your Charisma
modifier.
Guardian Shield
At 10th level, you are gifted the wisdom to shape the auras of
your allies for their own protection. After you cause a
creature's aura to burst forth, you may choose for that
creature to gain temporary hit points equal to your Warlock
level until the end of its next turn.
Celestial Spike
At 14th level, the scribes share their most devastating
practice. As an action, you may violently hurl the celestial orb
upon a creature of your choice within 30 feet.
Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 6d10
radiant damage and is banished to a shadowy space between
the worlds until the end of its next turn.
A banished creature is incapacitated. When the effect ends,
it reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied
space if that space is occupied.
When you use this ability, you must complete a short rest
before you can do so again.
The Hexblade
You have made your pact with a mysterious entity from the
Shadowfell—a force that manifests in sentient magic
weapons carved from the stuff of shadow. The mighty sword
Blackrazor is the most notable of these weapons, which have
been spread across the multiverse over the ages. The
shadowy force behind these weapons can offer power to
warlocks who form pacts with it. Many hexhlade warlocks
create weapons that emulate those formed in the Shadowfell.
Others forgo such arms, content to weave the dark magic of
that plane into their spellcasting.
Because the Raven Queen is known to have forged the first
of these weapons, many sages speculate that she and the
force are one and that the weapons, along with hexblade
warlocks, are tools she uses to manipulate events on the
Material Plane to her inscrutable ends.
Hexblade Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spells
1st shield
3rd branding smite
5th blink
7th staggering smite
9th banishing smite
Hexblade's Curse
Starting at lst level, you gain the ability to place a baleful
curse on someone. As a bonus action, choose one creature
you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1
minute. The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you
are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following
benefits:
You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed
target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a
critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
If the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to
your warlock level + your Charisma modifier (minimum of
1 hit point).
You can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long
rest.
Hex Warrior
Also at 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to
effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with
medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.
The influence of your patron also allows you to mystically
channel your will through a particular weapon. Whenever you
finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are
proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When
you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma
modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and
damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. If
you later gain the Pact of the Blade feature, this benefit
extends to every pact weapon you conjure with that feature,
no matter the weapon’s type.
Warlock | Otherworldy Patrons
15
 Accursed Spectre
Starting at 6th level, you can curse the soul of a person you
slay, temporarily binding it to your service. When you slay a
humanoid, you can cause its Spirit to rise from its corpse as a
specter, the statistics for which are in the Monster Manual.
When the specter appears, it gains temporary hit points equal
to half your warlock level. Roll initiative for the specter, which
has its own turns. It obeys your verbal commands, and it
gains a special bonus to its attack rolls equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum of +0).
The specter remains in your service until the end of your
next long rest, at which point it vanishes to the afterlife.
Once you bind a specter with this feature, you can’t use the
feature again until you finish a long rest.
Armour of Hexes
At 10th level, your hex grows more powerful. If the target
cursed by your Hexblade’s Curse hits you with an attack roll,
you can use your reaction to roll a d6. On a 4 or higher, the
attack instead misses you, regardless of its roll.
Master of Hexes
Starting at 14th level, you can spread your Hexblade’s Curse
from a slain creature to another creature. When the creature
cursed by your Hexblade’s Curse dies, you can apply the
curse to a different creature you can see within 30 feet of you,
provided you aren’t incapacitated. When you apply the curse
in this way, you don’t regain hit points from the death of the
previously cursed creature.
The Celestial
Your patron is a powerful being of the Upper Planes. You
have bound yourself to an ancient empyrean, solar, ki-rin,
unicorn, or other entity that resides in the planes of
everlasting bliss. Your pact with that being allows you to
experience the barest touch of the holy light that illuminates
the multiverse.
Being connected to such power can cause changes in your
behavior and beliefs. You might find yourself driven to
annihilate the undead, to defeat fiends, and to protect the
innocent. At times, your heart might also be filled with a
longing for the celestial realm of your patron, and a desire to
wander that paradise for the rest of your days. But you know
that your mission is among mortals for now, and that your
pact binds you to bring light to the dark places of the world.
Celestial Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spells
1st cure wounds
3rd lesser restoration

Bonus Cantrips
At 1st level, you learn the light and sacred flame cantrips.
They count as warlock cantrips for you, but they don’t count
against your number of cantrips known.
Warlock | Otherworldy Patrons

Healing Light
At lst level, you gain the ability to channel celestial energy to
heal wounds. You have a pool of d6s that you spend to fuel
this healing. The number of dice in the pool equals 1 + your
warlock level.
As a bonus action, you can heal one creature you can see
within 60 feet of you, spending dice from the pool. The
maximum number of dice you can spend at once equals your
Charisma modifier (minimum of one die).
Roll the dice you spend, add them together, and restore a
number of hit points equal to the total.
Your pool regains all expended dice when you finish a long
rest.
Radiant Sprite
Starting at 6th level, conjuring the radiant fires of the
celestial manifests itself as a celestial sprite that fights
alongside you in battle. When you use one of your warlock
spell slots to cast a spell of 1st-level or higher that deals fire
or radiant damage, you conjure a radiant sprite in an
unoccupied space that you can see within 10 feet of you. The
sprite acts on your turn, and continually attacks whatever
creature you damaged with the spell that summoned it.
The stats of the radiant sprite are as follows:
Radiant Sprite

The sprite has the following alterations:

It's hit points are equal to your warlock level.
The damage that the sprites radiant pulse deals increases
when you gain warlock levels. It increases to 2d4 at 10th
level, and 3d4 at 14th level.
Its radiant pulse deals additional damage equal to the
level of spell slot that summoned it, and has a bonus to hit
equal to your warlock spell attack bonus.
The radiant sprite remains for 1 minute, or until killed,
upon which its energy returns to the Upper planes.
Celestial Resilience
Starting at 10th level, you gain temporary hit points whenever
you finish a short or long rest. These temporary hit points
equal your warlock level + your Charisma modifier.
Additionally, choose up to five creatures you can see at the
end of the rest. Those creatures each gain temporary hit
points equal to half your warlock level + your Charisma
modifier.
Searing Vengeance
Starting at 14th level, the radiant energy you channel allows
you to resist death. When you have to make a death saving
throw at the start of your turn, you can instead spring back to
your feet with a burst of radiant energy. You regain hit points
equal to half your hit point maximum, and then you stand up
if you so choose. Each creature of your choice that is within
30 feet of you takes radiant damage equal to 2d8 + your
Charisma modifier, and it is blinded until the end of the
current turn.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you

The Blood
The bloodthrall
You have made your pact with an ancient force of life and
death, a force or being tied to the very life-force that runs
through so many creatures of the multiverse. This entity has
the untold power of pleasure and pain, elation and despair,
life and death. Such a being of The Blood could be an age old
vampire, a dead god of life or death, or perhaps even some
aberrant creature from far-of realms.
The Blood Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spells
1st false life
3rd wyrd reconstruction

spell, you can choose to regain hit points equal to twice the
spell’s level + your Charisma modifier.
Additionally, whenever an effect that restores your current
hit points would cause you to reach your hit point maximum,
you can choose for any remaining healing that would
otherwise be lost to instead be gained as temporary hit
points. Temporary hit points gained in this way last for 1
minute.
Macabre Liquor
When you reach 6th level, your allies may drink deep of your
vigour, restoring their strength. Whenever you take damage
that is not poison or psychic type, you can use your reaction
to choose a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The
target creature regains hit points equal to your warlock level.
Once you have used this feature, you must complete a
short or long rest before you may use it again.
Cruor Unsullied
Once you reach 10th level, the blood has perfected your life-
essence, purifying its very essence. You gain immunity to
poison damage and the poisoned condition.
Additionally, whenever you make a Constitution saving
throw to maintain concentration on a spell you cast, you can
reduce your current hit points by an amount equal to your
warlock level to grant yourself advantage on the roll.
Herald of the Blood
Once you have reached 14th level, your power over the blood
has allowed you to shape your very essence into a beast of
virulent hunger and ferocity. As an action on your turn, you
can reduce your hit point maximum by an amount equal to
your warlock level to summon a bloodthrall in an unoccupied
space within 15 feet of you.
The bloodthrall obeys your verbal commands, but
otherwise fights only to protect itself.

remains for 1 minute, after which it dissolves into a pool of
ichor.
Your hit point maximum returns to its original value after
you complete a long rest. Additionally, once you have used
this feature, you cannot use it again until you complete a long
rest.
The Weave
The Weave was considered many things, including Mystra's
body, the source of magic, all the studies of casters, arcane
and divine alike, and the many energies and forces that
existed around the planes. Many saw it as a "fabric" on which
magic was "drawn". Some textbooks deliberately falsified the
nature of the Weave, as an attempt to limit the knowledge
associated with spellcasting.
Through knowledge gifted to you by your patron you are
able to draw power from the weave through some form of
item that you channel the power from.
Weave Patron Spells
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spell
1st shield
2nd Nystul's magic aura
3rd clairvoyance

Eldritch Focus
Starting when you choose this otherworldly patron at 1st
level, you gain a form of focus doubles as an arcane focus for
material components. Unlike an arcane focus, an eldritch
focus is where you draw your magic from not something you
channel your magic through. It is required to be be in hand to
cast any spells that require material or somatic components.
Warlock | Otherworldy Patrons
17
 If you lose the focus a new one can be created out of any item
gilded in or created from silver or gold. This process can be
done over a long rest by etching eldritch runes in a sequence
like a key to grant you access to the well of magic that is the
weave. Making a conduit of magic, a gift from your patron.
Raw Magic
Also at 1st level, during a short rest, you gain a mote of stored
energy from the weave you can imbue in your eldritch focus
in the form of a Rune. You etch a number of runes equal to
your total number of Warlock spell slots.
As an action on your turn, you can unleash the raw power
of the rune in a destructive display known as a Rune Burst.
Your Rune Burst forces a creatures in the target area to make
a Dexterity saving throw against your Warlock spell save DC.
A creature that fails the saving throw takes 2d10 force
damage, and a creature that succeeds the saving throw takes
half damage.
The damage of your Rune Burst increases as you gain
levels, increases by 1d10 at 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level.
The area your Rune Burst creates is determined by its
Form. You know one Rune Burst Form at 1st level, and learn
an additonal one at 6th, 10th and 14th level.
Rune Burst Forms are listed below:
Blast. Your Rune Burst fills a line 30 feet long, and 5 feet
wide extending from you.
Explosion. Your Rune Burst fills a 5-foot radius sphere
centred on a point that you can see within 30 feet.
Shockwave. Your Rune Burst fills a 10-foot radius sphere
centered on you.
Torrent. Your Rune Burst fills a 15-foot cone in front of you.
You regain expended runes when you complete a short rest.
Pact of the Tome. Instead of using Rune Burst, you can
instead use your action to expend a rune to cast a Warlock
spell of 1st level that you know at 1st level, or one of your
Warlock cantrips. At 11th level, you can cast spells of 2nd
level, or 1st level spells as if they were cast at 2nd level
instead.
Spell Fire
Starting when you reach 10th level, when you are subjected
to a spell or magical effect, you can try to suppress,
dispersing its power into the weave. As a reaction, when you
are subjected to a spell or magical effect, you can roll a d20,
adding your Charisma modifier.
If your roll is equal to or greater than the spells level, or, in
terms of a magical effect with no spell level, a DC that your
DM decides, the spell or magical effect has no effect, and you
regain an expended rune.
Once you have used this feature, you must complete a
short or long rest before you may do so again.
Arcane Overload
Beginning when you reach 14th level, you can case the weave
of magic to warp and twist in an area, creating a surge of
magical energy. As an action on your turn, you cause a
magical explosion at a point you can see within range. Each
creature within 20 feet of the chosen point must make a
Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a target creature
suffers 3d10 force damage and cannot cast spells or activate
magical items until the end of your next turn. On a success,
the target suffers only half damage and can use magic as
normal
The affected area becomes affected by the antimagic field
spell for 1 hour.

Pact Focus
At 6th level, your connection to the weave strengthens your
pact. Your pact now counts as an eldritch focus, and you gain
the following additional benefits based on your chosen pact.
Pact of the Blade. For each rune etched into your eldritch
focus, your weapon attacks deal an additional 1 point of
force damage.
Pact of the Brand. You gain an additional etched rune that
exists in the very center of your brand. This rune does not
count against your maximum number of runes. This
additional rune only reappears when you complete a long
rest.
Pact of the Chain. When you use your Rune Burst, you can
use your familiar as your point of origin, as if you were
standing in its space. Additionally, casting the spell find
familiar as a ritual only takes 10 minutes for you.
Pact of the Cloak. When you use your Rune Burst, you can
teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.
You may teleport in this way before or after using Rune
Burst.
Pact of the Talisman. When you use your Rune Burst, you
can use your talisman as your point of origin, as if you were
standing in its space. Additionally, gaining your talisman
when lost or destroyed only takes 10 minutes for you.

The Progenitor Ooze
Your patron is a progenitor ooze, an originator of all ooze
creatures, locked away on some far-flung plane. Such a being
is alien in both form and desire, it’s consciousness either non-
existent or on some higher plane of thought.
Such a being is unlikely to ever pay you much mind, often
communicating through obscure signs or other ooze-
creatures, remaining in its home as a monolith of power.
Progenitor Ooze Patron Spells
Once you have used this feature, you must
You gain patron spells at the warlock levels listed.
Warlock Level Spell

Progenitor’s Residue
Starting at 1st level, you can summon an aspect of the
progenitor ooze when you invoke its powers. You learn the
acid splash cantrip, which does not count against the number
of cantrips you know. When you cast acid splash, you may
target any two creatures within 10 feet of each other.
Additionally, whenever you expend a warlock spell slot, you
can create a volatile globule of the progenitor’s form at a
point that you can see within range. If you target a point
attached to a creature, the target can make a Dexterity saving
throw against your Warlock save DC to avoid the globule,
with it falling to the ground at the target’s feet on a success.
The globule stays attached to the chosen point and cannot
be moved from its fixed point. At the start of your next turn,
the globule explodes in a 10-foot radius. Each creature
caught in the area must succeed on a Constitution saving
throw against your Warlock save DC or suffer 2d6 acid
damage.
The damage dealt by this feature increases as you gain
levels, increasing by 1d6 at 6th level (3d6), 10th level (4d6),
14th level (5d6).
Child of Slime
When you reach 6th level, you have gained the ability to take
the form of the progenitor’s children. As an action on your
turn, you can transform into an ooze creature of CR 1 or
lower as per the polymorph spell.
When you are transformed in this way, you maintain your

stronger, allowing you to partially meld your form with its.
You gain resistance to acid damage.
Additionally, as a bonus action on your turn, you can move
through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing
until the end of your next turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Charisma modifier, regaining expended uses when you
complete a long rest.
All is One
Once you have reached 14th level, you may invoke the
progenitor’s power, summoning an aspect of it within
yourself. As an action on your turn, you can unleash a storm
of acid tentacles of slime in a 30-foot radius around you. Each
creature you choose in the area must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or suffer 8d6 acid damage, taking
half damage on a success.
A creature reduce to 0 hit points by this feature is killed,
reduced to sludge and devoured by the tendrils, pouring into
your body.
For each creature targeted by this feature, you gain 2
temporary hit point, plus 2 for each creature that failed its
saving throw, plus 10 for each creature killed by this feature.
These temporary hit points last for 1 minute.
Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again
until you complete a long rest.

 The Collector
You have made a pact with a being of avarice. Something
obsessed with a certain essence, that will go to any lengths to
collect, consume or hoard such an essence. Some covet gold,
others souls, but whatever they seek, they see you as a tool to
gain more. Such a patron could be a soul-devouring entity
from beyond the stars, an elder dragon, eons of wisdom and
greed behind its eyes, or the devil lord of greed and wealth,
Mamon himself.

Otherworldly Desire
Starting when you pledge yourself to this patron at 1st level,
your patron sees that your desires are seen through.
Whenever you expend a warlock spell slot, you gain a point of
Want. As an action on your turn, you can expend one or more
of your Want. When you do so, your patron grants you a gift
in the form of a single non-magical item. This item must fit
within a 5-foot cube and must cost no more than 5 times your
warlock spell slot level + twice your warlock level in gold
pieces per Want expended.
Items summoned are random in appearance, design and
origin, and cannot fill specific criteria outside of being the
requested item. For example, you cannot summon a
document forged to allow you passage, nor can you summon
a specific object you know.
Once you have gained a number of Want points equal to
your maximum number of Warlock spell slots in-between
long rests, you cannot gain additional Want until you
complete a long rest.
Any items created with this feature last for 8 hours before
dissolving into a pile of ash, as they return to your patron’s
hoard. When you complete a long rest, you lose all remaining
Want.
Fill the Void
When you reach 6th level, your desires bring completion to
your soul. As a bonus action, you can expend a point of Want,
choosing one of the following effects:
You gain temporary hit points equal to your Warlock level.
These last for 1 minute.
You gain advantage on the next ability check or saving
throw you make before the end of your next turn.
Choose an effect you are currently under that allows you
to make periodic saving throws to end said effect. Make a
saving throw against the chosen effect.
Warlock | Otherworldy Patrons

Paid in Blood
At 10th level, your enemies are forced to offer up their very
essence to you and your patron. When you suffer damage
that would reduce you to 0 hit points, you can expend a point
of Want as a reaction to instead drop to 1 hit point. Once you
have expended Want in this way, you cannot do so again until
you complete a short or long rest.
Know Ruin
By the time you reach 14th level, the power over your desires
granted to you by your patron has coalesced into the ability to
show others their fate at the hands of your patron, stripping
them of everything they know in a cruel, oppressive
enchantment. As an action on your turn, you can force one
creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom
saving throw. On a failure, the target is struck by
overpowering visions of loss, failure and ruination, the theft
of all things they hold dear. The target suffers 6d12 psychic
damage, and becomes stunned until the end of its next turn.
On a successful saving throw, the target takes half damage
and is not stunned.
Any creature damaged by this feature suffers terrible
nightmares and remembrances of the soul-wrenching visions
it saw, preventing it from properly resting. For this duration,
the target regains half of any hit points it would regain during
a rest, and cannot recover hit dice. A successful remove curse
spell cast on the target ends this effect.
The Firemind
You have formed a pact with an entity of infinite energy and
intellect. This pact manifests as a mental link with the
Firemind's consciousness, allowing you to tap into its nigh
omnificent. Linking with such a massive intelligence is not
for the faint of the heart, or low minded, as swimming
through an ancient beings mind is akin to traveling a sea of
fire.

Compendium
Hello players and GM Binder devs! You've found
the back page of a class from my class
compendium. Not all of this work is mine, in
fact, most of it isn't! It is simply here for ease of
access for the players, and isn't shared
elsewhere.

The second to last class in the players handbook,

the warlock is a very polarising class to me. In
places it seems amazingly awesome, but a lot of
its core design features can render some
warlocks painfully boring and uninteresting. This
is likely something that I will address at some
point, but we'll have to wait and see.

Almost a dozen additional patrons have been

added since the PHB release, some is official
material, whilst most of it is from Genuine.
