Welcome, Adventurers and DM's. What lays in these pages is the first step of a dream. For a great many years, I have had a
dream to start my own tabletop gaming studio, because games like D&D, Deadlands, and more have always granted me
respite in a weary and difficult world.

With everything occuring in 2020, I found myself with significantly more free time on my hands, and a much larger need for
that respite.

It is because of this I chose to launch Lightkeeper Studios this winter, and provide you all with what I hope will be something
that helps keep that darkness at bay at least a little bit.

In this, what I hope will be the first of many, many, pieces of content, you'll meet The Giver of Gifts, the literal embodiment of
the holiday. While it is tailored to "Christmas" which I celebrate, I do hope you feel comfortable re-skinning, and tailoring the
aesthetics inside to fit your preferred celebration.

I truly hope you enjoy, because we all have a story to tell, ever single one of us, and the fun part in both tabletop and life, is
we get to fill the pages. Good, or bad, high's and lows, our stories are our own, and no one else's and I am truly,
unfathomably greatful to be a part of your story, even just for a moment.

Live Well. Do Good. Hold Fast. I believe in you.

- Jay B.
Owner and Founder
Lightkeeper Studios

 The Giver of Gifts

Y
our Patron is an otherworldly spirit of
kindness, cheer, and justice. They slumber,
in the far north, all but one month of the
year, awakening annually, to spread joy to
those deserving, and mete out justice to the
evil. While they slumber, they are still
always watching, and taking notes on
whether the people of the world are naughty or nice.
During their annual month of activity, they enter the
material plane, and appear to be everywhere at once,
though they are seldom seen.
Those that follow this patron seek to uphold this standard
all year round, spreading cheer, and are easily spotted by
their festive garb, larger than life personalities, and
propensity for always having an upbeat personality… until
they come across someone naughty, and then they stand
ready to take notes, names, and provide appropriate
punishment.
One day you hope to meet the Giver of Gifts yourself, but
until then, you will do whatever you can to live up to their
ideals.
Gift Giver Features
Bonus Cantrips
At 1st Level, you learn the Dancing Lights and Ray of Frost
cantrips. They count as warlock cantrips for you, but they
don’t count against your number of cantrips known.
Additionally the dancing lights can be wreathed in garland,
bells, and holly should you choose.
Gift Givers Bag
At 1st level, you gain a bag of holding, which resembles a
large burlap sack. 1d6 times/day you can produce an
exquisitely wrapped, but otherwise mundane gift valued at
no more than 100gp to give freely to another character.
Any attempt to use this gift for selfish means (Examples:
Selling it/using It for material gain/bribery) results in the
contents changing to a pile of coal.
On using the gift selfishly, roll 1d20, on a 1 the Gift Givers
Bag Vanishes until you have been judged Nice by The Giver
of Gifts.

Gift Givers Sight

At 10th level, you gain the sight of the gift giver, and can
use that sight see a glimpse of the past, present, or what is
yet to come. Once per long rest, as an action you may
touch the mind of a creature within 60' see an event from
their past, present, or future. You choose whether that
event is a "Naughty" or "Nice" event, and from what time
period in the targets life it comes from.

It must make a Wisdom saving throw, and does so with

advantage if you or your companions are Fighting it. If it
fails the saving throw, you see the event clearly, and can
recall it.

Gift Givers Judgement

At 14th Level, you gain access to the powers of judgement
typically reserved for the Gift Giver themselves. As an
action you can: Move up to your move speed without
provoking an attack of opportunity, Cast “Heart Sight” on
the target of your choice, and may cast either Eye Bite if
the target is Evil or Heal if the creature is good. If the
creature is Neutral, or Unknown, you may cast either.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.

Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, Up to 10 Minutes
For the duration, you know if there is an aberration,
celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead within 30 feet of
you, as well as where the creature is located. Similarly, you
know if there is a place or object within 30 feet of you that
has been magically consecrated or desecrated.

Find Reindeer
2nd-Level Conjuration
Casting Time: 10 Minutes
Range: 30 Feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaineous
You summon a spirit that assumes the form of an
unusually intelligent, strong, and loyal reindeer, creating a
long-lasting bond with it. Appearing in an unoccupied
space within range, It has the statistics of a reindeer,
though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of
its normal type. Additionally, your reindeers Intelligence
becomes 6, and it gains the ability to understand one
language of your choice that you speak.
Your reindeer serves you as a mount, both in combat
and out, and you have an instinctive bond with it that
allows you to fight as a seamless unit. While mounted on
your reindeer, you can make any spell you cast that
targets only you also target your reindeer.
When the reindeer drops to 0 hit points, it disappears,
leaving behind no physical form. You can also dismiss your
reindeer at any time as an action, causing it to disappear.
In either case, casting this spell again summons the same
reindeer, restored to its hit point maximum.
While your reindeer is within 1 mile of you, you can
communicate with each other telepathically.
You can’t have more than one reindeer bonded by this
spell at a time. As an action, you can release the reindeer
from its bond at any time, causing it to disappear.
See Appendix: Summons for Reindeer Stats.
Geas
5th-Level Enchantment
Casting Time: 1 Minute
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: 30 Days
You place a magical command on a creature that you can
see within range, forcing it to carry out some service or
refrain from some action or course of activity as you
decide. If the creature can understand you, it must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by
you for the duration. While the creature is charmed by
you, it takes 5d10 psychic damage each time it acts in a
manner directly counter to your instructions, but no more
than once each day. A creature that can't understand you
is unaffected by the spell.
You can issue any command you choose, short of an
activity that would result in certain death. Should you issue
a suicidal command, the spell ends.
You can end the spell early by using an action to dismiss
it. A remove curse, greater restoration, or wish spell also
ends it.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 7th or 8th level, the duration is 1 year. When you
cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, the spell lasts
until it is ended by one of the spells mentioned above.

Heart Sight
3rd-Level Divination
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 Minute
You touch a creature and magically know the creature's

throw.

Crumbs)
Duration: Concentration, Up to 1 Minute

They flit around you to a distance of 15 feet for the
duration. They appear to be gnomes of some sort, dressed
in green, with pointy hats, and pointier knives.
When you cast this spell, you can designate any number
of creatures you can see to be unaffected by it. An affected
creature’s speed is halved in the area, and when the
creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or
starts its turn there, it must make a Wisdom saving throw.
On a failed save, the creature takes 3d8 radiant damage.
On a successful save, the creature takes half as much
damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for
each slot level above 3rd.
Kringle's Crazed Caroling
1st-Level Enchantment
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 30 Feet
Components: V, S, M (A bough of Holly, a Sprig of
Mistletoe)

A creature of your choice that you can see within range is
overwhelmed with a sense of holiday cheer and compelled
to burst into carols and go wassailing. The target must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or stand in place
singing carols at the top of its lungs for the duration. A
creature with an Intelligence score of 4 or less isn’t
affected.
At the end of each of its turns, and each time it takes
damage, the target can make another Wisdom saving
throw. The target has advantage on the saving throw if it’s
triggered by damage. On a success, the spell ends.
Summon Krampus
1st-Level Enchantment
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 60 Feet
Components: V, S, M (A lump of pure anthracite coal
carved into a skull, a page containing a confession of a
foul act)
Duration: Concentration, Up to one hour
You utter foul words, summoning Krampus from the Gift
Givers hallowed grounds. Krampus appears to hunt the
naughty, in an unoccupied space you can see within range,
and disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the
spell ends.
Roll initiative for Krampus, which has its own turns.
When you summon it and on each of your turns
thereafter, you can issue a verbal command to it (requiring
no action on your part), telling it what it must do on its
next turn. If you issue no command, it spends its turn
attacking any creature within reach that has attacked it. As
part of casting the spell, you can form a circle on the
ground with the coal used as a material component.
The circle is large enough to encompass your space.
While the spell lasts, the summoned demon can’t cross the
circle or harm it, and it can’t target anyone within it. Using
the material component in this manner consumes it when
the spell ends.
See Appendix: Summons for Reindeer Stats.

Invocations

feature. Here are new options for that feature, in addition
tot he options in the Player's Handbook.

Your Eldritch Blast now smells of holiday cheer. Choose a
scent of Peppermint, Mulled Wine, Pine Trees, or Fresh
Fallen Snow. Once on each of your turns when you hit a
creature with Eldritch Blast, they are immediately donned
with a festive hat, and must succeed on a Wisdom saving
throw or take an additional 1d4 psychic damage and have
disadvantage on the next Attack roll it makes before the
end of its next turn, as it briefly fills with a sense of
wonderment and joy.
Keeper of the List
(Prerequisite: Pact of the Tome, 5th Level)
"Making a List and Checking it Twice"
An additional page springs into existence in your tome.
When that page is turned to, it unfurls into a list in front of
you. You may cast Heart Sight an additional (Charisma
Modifier + 1) times without using a spell slot per long rest.
The name, mood at the time, and alignment (if detected)
of the target automatically become written on “The List”

target again. You can also detect the general direction of
anyone on the list within 30’ provided they are not behind
full cover.
