INTRODUCTION
A tome of witchcraft and mischief, this book is meant for

players and DMs alike. It will help you enrich both your

player characters and campaigns. The contents of this book

are designed around the common aspects of Warlocks, as

the title implies. However, not everything within this book

is explicitly meant for or requires the Warlock class.

This book contains the following. One new Other Worldly

Patron: The Life-Giver. Two new Pact Boons: Pact of the

Elements and Pact of the Wand. Eight new Eldritch

Invocations: Blasting Elements, Draining Bolt, Faithfull

Servant, Killers Sight, Lingering Blast, Vanishing Hand,

Wand’s Knowledge, and Wand’s Power. Two new

backgrounds: the Broken Pact Warlock and the Disgraced

Noble. As well as two new Warlock-specific magic items:

the Eldritch Weapon and the Patrons Weapon.

PACT BOONS
PACT OF THE ELEMENTS
Any time you cast a damaging spell, you may use your
bonus action to change the damage type to either acid,
cold, fire, or lightning. When this is done, all damage dealt
by the spell is changed, and any other effects the spell
imposes remain the same. If you cast a damaging spell that
already deals one of these damage types and you choose
not to change it, you may then use your bonus action to
increase the spells damage by 1d4. If the spell has an
ongoing damage effect, the damage is only increased for
the initial damage.
PACT OF THE WAND
Your patron gifts you a magical wand. This wand counts as
your spellcasting focus and takes up one of your
attunement slots. While attuned to the wand you gain an
extra spell slot. The spell slot is level one and functions as
a Warlock spell slot. However, this spell slot does not
increase in level as you level up, it remains level 1.
If you ever lose your wand, you may conduct a 1-hour
ritual, which may be done during a short or long rest, to
receive a new one. Your DM may require a special material,
time, or location to conduct the ritual properly. The ritual
destroys the previous wand. The wand turns into a
harmless twig when you die.
ELDRITCH

you are blinded or they are behind total cover.

Prerequisite: 7th level, Pact of the Elements feature,
Eldritch blast cantrip
On your turn, when you hit a target with Eldritch Blast and
change the damage type with your Pact of the Elements
feature, you may cause the element to linger. The target

rounds equal to your Charisma modifier. The damage dealt
is equal to the increase in damage possible with the Pact of
the Elements feature per blast the target is hit with. The
damage is applied at the beginning of the targets turn.
Once you use this feature on a casting of Eldritch Blast, you
may not do so until you roll initiative again.

they can see the hand as normal.

The 1st level spell slot granted to you by the Pact of the
Wand, increases from a 1st to a 2nd level spell slot.
BACKGROUNDS
BROKEN PACT WARLOCK
You were previously a low-level Warlock, but for one
reason or another, you broke your pact and were
abandoned by your patron. Because your pact was broken
at such a level you’ve lost what few abilities and powers
you had.
Choose what kind of Warlock you used to be and why
you broke your pact. Maybe you signed a deed with a devil
but refused to kill a man when commanded. Or perhaps
you were a Warlock of the Archfey and your deal was
terminated when you stole arcane knowledge from them.
Work with your DM to determine how involved your ex-
patron is in your story. It’s possible they despise you,
sending minions to hinder your quests. Or maybe they just
hold a simmering grudge and tell their servants to turn
you away.
Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Religion
Tool Proficiencies: Alchemist’s Supplies, Herbalism Kit
Equipment: An old spell focus that no longer works, a book
of Lore, 5 sheets of parchment, a set of common clothes,
and a pouch containing 10gp.

FEATURE: ARCANE EXPERIENCE
You weren’t a very gifted Warlock but you did have some
vestiges of power. There are still simmers of strength
within you, lingering from your ex-patron. You gain the
Magic Initiate feat; you must choose the Warlock class for
this.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Warlocks who broke their pacts are typically shaped by
several key moments in their history. Why they broke the
pact and why they made it in the first place. Some used to
belong to cults, others were loners. All of which will affect
their ideals and bonds. Their flaw may possibly be why
they broke their pact.

Personality Trait
I must have every agreement in writing, if there
isn't a contract there's no guarantee.
2 I still idolize my old patron, one day I will regain
their respect.
3 I am still a practicing member of my patron's cult
and very few know of my broken pact.
4 I take every opportunity I can to badmouth my
patron and their cult.
5 I do everything I can to hide the fact I was once a
Warlock.
6 To the best of my ability, I act as though my
broken pact doesn't bother me, even though it
infuriates me to no end.
7 I despise Warlocks and other groups like them.
8 I sometimes pretend to speak with my old patron,
as if we were still connected.
d6 Ideal
1 Defender. I cannot stand by while the powerful
take advantage of the weak. (Good)
2 Contract. A deal made must be upheld. (Lawful)
3 Weary. A deal is only as good as the people who
make it. (Chaotic)
4 Enforcer. A promise cannot be broken, if it is, the
breaker must pay. (Evil)
5 Loner. I only uphold the deals I find worthwhile.
(Neutral)
6 Forgetful. A promise is never broken, its
fulfillment might just be delayed. (Any)
d6 Bond
1 I’ve broken promises before and catastrophe
followed, I will never do such a thing again.
2 Everything I do is an attempt to create another
pact with a new being.
3 One day I will re-sign a pact with my old patron.
Until then I will do as best as I can to follow their
laws.
4 I will do everything in my power to demolish the
patron structure, these beings are unworthy of
worship.
5 I’ve failed to be a patronie, so one day I will be the
patron.
6 I work to build all my relationships on mutual
trust, not a one-sided contract.
 d6 Flaw
1 I cannot help but take any knowledge I find,
hoarding it for myself.
2 I have been betrayed before and do not trust
easily.
3 I am unsure about most things, regularly going
back on deals and promises.
4 Lying is my forte, I can't help but do it.
5 I blame myself for every failure, even if
unavoidable.
6 I tend to leave before I get too attached, better to
have a broken promise rather than a broken heart.
DISGRACED NOBLE
You were once a member of a highly regarded family.
Possibly the child of a Lord or the sibling of a powerful
sorcerer. Once encapsulated in the bliss a life like this can
hold, it didn’t last long.
For whatever reason, you were cut from the family.
Maybe you signed a Warlocks pact with a devil. Perhaps
you were kidnapped, but your family was unwilling to pay
the ransom. Or possibly you were caught committing a
crime in your youthful ignorance and your family could
not hold face against this controversy.
In their disgust, your family scrambled to cover or
exploit your exile. Maybe they claimed you dead, treating
you as a dirty secret. Possibly they publicly denounced you,
using the opportunity to gain popularity amongst a group
that opposed you. It’s conceivable that they simply lost
hope in your salvation.
Now you wander the world in search of a new family,
revenge against your old one, or another of many
possibilities. Throughout these journeys, you’ve learned
many skills, such as those detailed below.
Skill Proficiencies: Deception, History
Language Proficiencies: One of your choice
Tool Proficiencies: One artisan’s tool of your choice, or
thieves’ tools
Equipment: A letter from a family member who still cares
for you or a family memento that was broken when you
were banished, crowbar, book of history, fine clothes, and
a pouch containing 15gp.
FEATURE: CUNNING OF A LIEGE
You grew up around the courts of kings and their knights.
When someone attempts to make a Charisma
7
(Intimidation) check against you, you have advantage on
your opposition roll.
SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS
Banished from their home, disgraced nobles tend to be one
of two things; secretive or boastful. They either hide their
true nature or flaunt it. They may have bonds that reflect
their noble background or possibly that of a traveller,
having lived on the road after their exile. Their flaw may be
the reason they were exiled or possibly the reason they
won't go back.
d8 Personality Trait
1 I am proud of my past and flaunt it everywhere I
go.
2 I’ve been mistreated before and would rather kill
than let it happen again.
3 I tend to keep people at a distance, so I cannot get
hurt again.
4 Everyone I meet is my family, and I will protect
them to the end.
5 I keep my promises, but only to those who keep
theirs.
6 I aim to control every situation.
7 I let others take the lead, afraid of failing myself.
8 I tend to show mercy to even the worst people, I
don’t know who’s waiting for them at home.
d6 Ideal
1 Blind Faith. No one is completely evil; everyone
deserves a chance at redemptions. (Good)
2 Redemption. Those who have failed must work to
rectify the harm they caused. (Lawful)
3 Mighty Rule. Those who do not recognize
strength, fail to do so because of their weakness.
(Chaotic)
4 Blasphemy. Some people are despicable by
nature, all they are good for is target practice.
(Evil)
5 Balanced. Strength is meaningless, without the
knowledge and respect to use it. (Neutral)
6 Disheartened. Running from one's failings will
only lead to more. (Any)
d6 Bond
1 My family was right to cut ties with me, what I did
was despicable.
2 I will reunite with my family and regain their
respect.
3 My family is wretched and I will have my revenge
once I am powerful enough.
4 Faith is only something the faithless speak of, that
is why it is my go-to topic.
5 I will do everything in my power to find a new
family and protect them with my life.
6 I can bring forth a new era, one that resides far
from my family.

d6 Flaw
1 I cannot notice the mistakes I’ve made, blaming
others for my failings.
2 My search for vengeance causes me to do things I
would otherwise find horrendous.
3 All wrongdoers deserve death, no matter the
crime.
4 I cannot help but carry burden, taking
responsibility for everything. Especially that which
is not mine.
5 I must hold my head up high so no one knows my
pain.
6 I use my own pain as a justification to hurt others.
