Its reach with melee weapon and spell attacks increases to 10 feet, as it can extend its limbs unnaturally. ##### Arcane Gunslinger (UA:MM) *Prerequisite: Pact of the Blade feature* You can create a pact weapon that is a sidearm or long arm, and you can transform a magical sidearm or long arm into your pact weapon. ##### Armor of Shadows You can cast [Mage Armor](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:mage-armor) on yourself at will, without expending a spell slot or material components. ##### Ascendant Step *Prerequisite: 9th level* You can cast [Levitate](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:levitate) on yourself at will, without expending a spell slot or material components. ##### Aspect of the Moon *Prerequisite: Pact of the Tome feature* You no longer need to sleep and can’t be forced to sleep by any means. To gain the benefits of a long rest, you can spend all 8 hours doing light activity, such as reading your Book of Shadows and keeping watch. ##### Atlas of the Wanderer (Azrael) *Prerequisite: Pact of the Tome feature* A new page appears in your Book of Shadows. With your permission, a creature can use its action to write its name on that page, which can contain a number of names equal to your proficiency bonus. You can cast the locate creature spell, targeting the creatures whose names are on the page, without using a spell slot and without using material components. The ink on the page begins to shift and reshape itself into a crude map of the surrounding area, with the names on the page moving to indicate the positions of the named creatures if they are within 1,000 feet. The ink returns to normal after 1 hour. As an action, you can magically erase a name from the page by touching it. ##### Beast Speech You can cast [Speak with Animals](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:speak-with-animals) at will, without expending a spell slot. ##### Beguiling Influence You gain proficiency in the Deception and Persuasion skills. ##### Bewitching Whispers *Prerequisite: 7th level* You can cast [Compulsion](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:compulsion) once using a warlock spell slot.

Beginning at 9th level, whenever the wearer of your talisman is forced to make a saving throw, it can add 1d4 to the roll. ##### Bond of the Talisman \* *Prerequisite: 12th level, Pact of the Talisman feature* While someone else is wearing your talisman, you can use your action to teleport to the unoccupied space closest to them, provided the two of you are on the same plane of existence. The wearer of your talisman can do the same thing, using their action to teleport to you. (Additionally, when you and the wearer of your talisman are on the same plane of existence, you can communicate telepathically.) The teleportation can be used a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and all expended uses are restored when you finish a long rest. ##### Bone Puppeteer (CoC) *Prerequisite: 5th level* You can cast *animate dead* once using a warlock spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. ##### Book of Ancient Secrets *Prerequisite: Pact of the Tome feature* You can now inscribe magical rituals in your Book of Shadows. Choose two 1st-level spells that have the ritual tag from [any class's spell list](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spells); these rituals needn’t be from the same spell list. The spells appear in the book and don't count against the number of spells you know. With your Book of Shadows in hand, you can cast the chosen spells as rituals. You can't cast the spells except as rituals, unless you've learned them by some other means. You can also cast a warlock spell you know as a ritual if it has the ritual tag. On your adventures, you can add other ritual spells to your Book of Shadows. When you find such a spell, you can add it to the book if the spell's level is equal to or less than half your warlock level (rounded up) and if you can spare the time to transcribe the spell. For each level of the spell, the transcription process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp for the rare inks needed to inscribe it. ##### Call of the Grave (CoC) *Prerequisite: Pact of the Skull feature* If you fail on an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, you can use your reaction to roll again by listening to secrets whispered by your pact skull if it is within 5 feet.

You can’t use this invocation again until you finish a long rest. ##### Ceremonial Proxy (The Lost Citadel) Prerequisite: Pact of the Tome feature You can now make use of a mystical proxy to cast rituals for you. You must have a magical creature or autonomous force created or summoned by a spell or magical effect that you cast. Examples include find familiar, unseen servant , or the Otherworldly Minions invocation. You can direct that creature or entity to cast any ritual in your Book of Shadows, assuming the proxy remains in existence long enough to do so. You must still provide all necessary components, you still make the Arcana check, and you still suffer the effects if the ritual goes wrong (see “Woe” and “Zileska Rituals,” both in Chapter V: Zileskan Magic). You must concentrate on your proxy while it is casting the ritual as though maintaining a spell, but if the proxy was created by a spell that requires concentration, you may concentrate on both. This is an exception to the normal concentration rules. You can engage in any other activity you wish while the proxy is casting the ritual, including casting other spells, so long as they don’t require concentration. Alternatively, you can work with the proxy on the ritual, cutting its casting time in half (to a minimum of five minutes). Finally, if you suffer spiritual damage due to the ritual and spell going wrong, the presence of the proxy grants you resistance to that damage. ##### Chained Mutant (CoC) *Prerequisite: Pact of the Chain feature* When you change the form of your familiar, you have the option to choose a beast mutated due to the influence of a Great Old One, Outer God, or other potent and unnatural force. Such a familiar takes on obviously unnatural features like pod-tipped legs, extra eyes near its middle, and a mouth-tipped stalk. It becomes a mutated version of one of the normal options in the find familiar spell (not the options added by the Pact of the Chain feature). It loses one of its weapon attacks unless it has only one. It can’t wear armor or barding that isn’t designed for its unique form. It adds your proficiency bonus to its weapon attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, Strength saving throws, Constitution saving throws, Wisdom saving throws, and Wisdom (Perception) checks. When your familiar hits a creature with a weapon attack, it attaches to the target and can’t use that weapon to attack until it detaches. If your mutated familiar begins its turn attached to a creature, that creatures loses 1d8 hit points from blood loss. Undead and constructs are immune to this hit point loss. The familiar can detach itself as an action or a creature can use its action to detach your familiar. ##### Chains of Carceri *Prerequisite: 15th level, Pact of the Chain feature* You can cast [Hold Monster](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:hold-monster) at will – targeting a celestial, fiend, or elemental – without expending a spell slot or material components. You must finish a long rest before you can use this invocation on the same creature again. ##### Cloak of Flies *Prerequisite: 5th level* As a bonus action, you can surround yourself with a magical aura that looks like buzzing flies. The aura extends 5 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. It lasts until you're incapacitated or you dismiss it as a bonus action. The aura grants you advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks but disadvantage on all other Charisma checks. Any other creature that starts its turn in the aura takes poison damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 0 damage). Once you use this invocation, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. ##### Cosmic Truths (CoC) You gain proficiency in the Yog-Sothothery skill (see page 37). If you already have proficiency in that skill, you instead gain proficiency in Arcana or Religion. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make using Yog-Sothothery, even if it isn’t the proficiency you gained from this invocation. (This doubling means the penalty it imposes on your saving throws is equal to your proficiency bonus.) In addition, choose a 1st-level spell from any class spell list (including warlock). You can cast this spell once using a warlock spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. ##### Curse Bringer (UA) *Prerequisite: The Hexblade patron, Pact of the Blade feature* You can create a greatsword forged from silver, with black runes etched into its blade, using your Pact of the Blade feature. If you reduce a target cursed by your Hexblade’s Curse to 0 hit points with this sword, you can immediately change the target of the curse to a different creature. This change doesn’t extend the curse’s duration. When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can expend a spell slot to deal an additional 2d8 slashing damage to the target per spell level, and you can reduce the creature’s speed to 0 feet until the end of your next turn. ##### Devil's Sight You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet. ##### Dreadful Word *Prerequisite: 7th level* You can cast [Confusion](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:confusion) once using a warlock spell slot.

To do so, you must write the message on the page. The target hears the message in their mind, and if the target replies, their message appears on the page, rather than in your mind. The writing disappears after 1 minute. As an action, you can magically erase a name on the page by touching it. ##### Feral Transformation (Humblewood) Prerequisite: 7th level As an action, you can transform into a dire wolf, giant spider, or giant vulture following the same rules as the polymorph spell, but you retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. You maintain the ability to speak and can cast spells that have only a verbal component. You maintain this form for 1 hour or until the form drops to 0 hit points, at which point you revert back to your normal form. Once you use this invocation, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. ##### Fiendish Vigor You can cast [False Life](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:false-life) on yourself at will as a 1st-level spell, without expending a spell slot or material components. ##### Frightful Familiar (CoC) *Prerequisite: 7th level, Pact of the Chain feature* As a bonus action, you can cause your familiar to instantly emanate a pall of magical fear that rattles any foe it meets. Each creature of the familiar’s choice within 60 feet that is aware of it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be magically frightened until the start of the familiar’s next turn. The save DC is equal to your spell save DC. Once your familiar uses this invocation, it can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest. ##### Gaze of Two Minds You can use your action to touch a willing humanoid and perceive through its senses until the end of your next turn. As long as the creature is on the same plane of existence as you, you can use your action on subsequent turns to maintain this connection, extending the duration until the end of your next turn. While perceiving through the other creature's senses, you benefit from any special senses possessed by that creature, and you are blinded and deafened to your own surroundings. ##### Ghostly Gaze *Prerequisite: 7th level* As an action, you gain the ability to see through solid objects to a range of 30 feet. Within that range, you have darkvision if you don’t already have it. This special sight lasts for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell). During that time, you perceive objects as ghostly, transparent images.

Once this magic is triggered, no creature can benefit from it until you finish a long rest. As an action, you can magically erase a name on the page by touching it. ##### Gift of the Talisman (WEB) *Prerequisite: 5th level, Pact of the Talisman feature* While wearing your talisman, the creature can recover one expended spell slot as an action.

Once per turn, it deals extra damage when it hits a target with an attack if the target is a nonmagical object, a creature it had advantage on the attack roll against, or a creature within 5 feet of you or an ally of yours (you or your ally must not be incapacitated). If it hits with a spell attack, it deals an additional 1d6 piercing damage. If it hits with a weapon attack, it deals an additional 3d6 piercing damage. Your familiar can cut through any material except adamantine, given time. Generally, it takes 10 minutes to make a hole large enough for a Tiny creature to squeeze through 1/2 inch of metal, 1 inch of stone, 3 inches of wood, or 1 foot of earth. It can clear a path for a Small creature in quadruple the time, and for a Medium creature in sixteen times as long. ##### Improved Pact Weapon *Prerequisite: Pact of the Blade feature* You can use any weapon you summon with your Pact of the Blade feature as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.

Finally, the weapon you conjure can be a shortbow, longbow, light crossbow, or heavy crossbow. ##### Investment of the Chain Master *Prerequisite: Pact of the Chain feature* When you cast [Find Familiar](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:find-familiar), you infuse the summoned familiar with a measure of your eldritch power, granting the creature the following benefits: - The familiar gains either a flying speed or a swimming speed (your choice) of 40 feet. - As a bonus action, you can command the familiar to take the Attack action. - The familiar’s weapon attacks are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks. - If the familiar forces a creature to make a saving throw, it uses your spell save DC. - When the familiar takes damage, you can use your reaction to grant it resistance against that damage. ##### Lance of Lethargy *Prerequisite: [Eldritch Blast](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:eldritch-blast) cantrip* Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with your [Eldritch Blast](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:eldritch-blast), you can reduce that creature’s speed by 10 feet until the end of your next turn. ##### Lifedrinker *Prerequisite: 12th level, Pact of the Blade feature* When you hit a creature with your pact weapon, the creature takes extra necrotic damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). ##### Maddening Hex *Prerequisite: 5th level, [Hex](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:hex) spell or a warlock feature that curses* As a bonus action, you cause a psychic disturbance around the target cursed by your [Hex](http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:hex) spell or by a warlock feature of yours, such as Hexblade’s Curse and Sign of Ill Omen.

If you have the Grave patron, it summons an undead of CR 5 or lower. Summoned creatures cannot have legendary actions; they cannot themselves summon or conjure any creatures, nor can they concentrate on any spells.

If the targeted device is not held or used by a creature, the GM makes a special saving throw for the device with disadvantage and a +0 modifier. Certain shielded devices might negate the disadvantage, at the GM’s determination. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. Wire Travel Starting at 6th level, you gain the ability to travel short distances over electrical wires, data lines, or telephone cables.

You can use an action to make a melee attack against a humanoid creature using your spell attack modifier. The target must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC as a techno-organic virus quickly spreads through its body. On a failed save, the target takes 8d10 psychic damage, or half as much damage on a successful one. Additionally, if the target fails the saving throw, you can use an action to issue it a single command, as if you were casting the command spell. The target makes its saving throw against your command with disadvantage. You can issue this command at any time while the target remains infected. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, at which point the target is cured of the technovirus. The infection can also be removed with a lesser restoration spell. # Pact boon Pact of the Skull (CoC) Your patron gives you a magical pact skull, generally a humanoid or ghoul skull collected from a graveyard with at least one hundred bodies. Using this skull, you can cast spells you know with the ritual tag as rituals. Additionally, the skull whispers magical secrets that only you can hear. When you choose this feature, choose two 1st-level spells with the ritual tag from any class (not necessarily the same class), including this one. The chosen spells are warlock spells for you. While the skull is within 5 feet of you, you know those spells and they do not count against your number of warlock spells known, but you can’t cast them using spell slots as normal. You can cast them as rituals or as formulas (if they have the formula tag). You can also use this class feature to cast one of the chosen spells as an action without expending a spell slot while your pact skull is within 5 feet of you. Once you do so, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest. Each time you gain a warlock level, you can replace one of the chosen spells with another ritual spell that is of a spell level lower than half your warlock level (rounded up, minimum 1). On your adventures, you can also add other ritual spells to your pact skull. When you find such a spell, you can add it to the skull if the spell’s level is equal to or less than half your warlock level (rounded up) and if you take the time to teach the spell to your skull. For each level of the spell, the teaching process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp for the rare incense that you must burn in your pact skull while reading the spell aloud to it. If you lose your pact skull, 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 skull. Your pact skull crumbles to sand when you die. PACT OF THE CLOAK (VSoS) As a bonus action, you can summon a cloak, coat, or robe which aids your movement and mobility. This pact cloak appears on your body, fitting over any other clothes or armor, and it does not impede your movement, vision, or your ability to wear other equipment. While wearing your pact cloak, you constantly float a few inches off the ground. You ignore the effects of difficult terrain, your speed increases by 10 feet, and you can walk across fluid surfaces, such as water and quicksand. You can dismiss your pact cloak as a bonus action. PACT OF THE FLAME (VSoS) Your patron grants you a mote of chaotic, otherworldly power. Your spell attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. PACT OF THE SKIN (VSoS) You give yourself over completely to your patron, taking on greater aspects of your benefactor in exchange for more power. Your skin changes to reflect this, changing form and becoming more resistant to damage. When you take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage from a nonmagical weapon that isn’t silvered, you can subtract 3 from the damage taken. # Samhain Warlocks seek hidden knowledge in the multiverse. The spirit of Samhain is a patron who offers glimpses into the Otherworld, and power over death and rebirth. However, it is also an entity that appreciates devilry. Those who seek patronage from it would do well to cater to its mischief-making, lest they become targets of pranks themselves. Your patron embodies the very spirit of Samhain — both a symbol of death and rebirth. It often appears in the days that coincide with the end of the harvest season and the start of the winter season. During this three-day period when the line between two worlds is blurred, a warlock may be offered patronage by this being which delights in death and playing supernatural tricks.

#### Creatures of the Gateway Starting at 1st level, you can use a bonus action to magically summon supernatural creatures from the Otherworld. The appearance of these creatures reflects the spirit of Samhain.

The creature arrives through a magical gateway and appear in unoccupied spaces that you can see within 60 feet of you. It remains for 1 minute or until you use this feature to summon another gateway creature. On the turn the creatures appear you can make a melee spell attack against one creature within 10 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage. When you reach 10th level, the damage increases to 2d8. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the creature up to 30 feet and repeat the attack.

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 undead, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC or be frightened by you for 1 minute or until the creature takes any damage. For every turn it is frightened by you, it takes 1d10 psychic damage as it comes to terms with its own mortality. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Artist: Andreia Ugrai #### Haunting Form Starting at 14th level, you can take a bonus action to magically alter yourself into a form that is complementary to some aspect of Samhain. For example, your appearance can take on the form of a headless rider, a horse skull mummer, or even a creepy clown (if your GM will allow it). You gain the following benefits while transformed: ***Fear aura.*** Any creature hostile to you that starts its turn within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, unless you are incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature is frightened until the start of its next turn. ***Fearless.*** You are immune to the frightened condition. ***Finger of Death.*** You may cast *Finger of Death* once as a Warlock spell while transformed. You remain in this form for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you die, or if you dismiss it as a bonus action. You can transform a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. # The dead king Your patron is a powerful undead being who, through dark magics, commands the forces of death and eternal life. Such entities desire to preserve their unending life above all else. They seek immortality by amassing power and controlling other undead and living servants. Beings such as this include ancient wraiths and powerful necromancer liches like the Black Pharaohs of the Nyssian drow. ##### Dead King Expanded Spells 1st inflict wounds, ray of sickness 2nd blindness, gentle repose 3rd vampiric touch, feign death 4th giant insect, black tentacles 5th contagion, insect plague ##### Unearthed Blades Starting at 1st level, your patron grants you the power to draw on the remains of the ancient dead to shred your foes. As an action you can temporarily draw ancient bone fragments from the ground to swirl around you. The gyre of bones collapses within 1 minute or if it moves more than 60 feet from you. As a bonus action, you can have the bone shards move up to 60 feet and attack a creature within 5 feet using your spellcasting ability modifier, dealing 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier piercing damage on a hit. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. ##### Shambling Servant When you reach 6th level, your patron shows you how to raise undead servants of your own. As a bonus action, you can raise a rapidly decomposing zombie under your control from the corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within 10 feet of you. In combat, the zombie's turn comes immediately after yours. The zombie collapses within 1 minute or if it moves more than 60 feet from you, and follows your mental commands to the best of its ability. The zombie’s hit point maximum is increased by your warlock level, and its weapon attack and damage rolls are increased by your proficiency bonus. Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your attacks to allow this zombie to make one attack as its reaction. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. ##### Aspect of Undeath At 10th level, your patron gifts you with some aspects of undeath. You become immune to disease and gain resistance to poison and necrotic damage. ##### Wrappings of the King Starting at 14th level you learn forbidden secrets of preserving the dead. As an action you can transform a zombie under your control within 10 feet of you into a mummy under your control. The mummy decomposes within 1 hour or if it moves more than 60 feet from you, and follows your verbal orders to the best of its ability. The mummy’s hit point maximum is increased by your warlock level, and its weapon attack and damage rolls are increased by your proficiency bonus. Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your attacks to allow this mummy to make one attack as its reaction. # The first vampire You have made a pact with a powerful vampire cursed by the gods or born as a creature of the night. Hundreds of haunted beings serve this vampire, so why enter a pact with you? Because you can act in the light of day unhindered? To cull weaker vampires? **Expanded Spell List** The First Vampire lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. Spell Level Spells 1st false life, bane 2nd alter self, levitate 3rd conjure animals (bats, rats, or wolves only), gaseous form 4th dominate beast, greater invisibility 5th dominate person, seeming ##### Nocturnal Predator At 1st level, as a predator of the night you have been blessed with enhanced vision in darkness. You have darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, increase the range by 60 feet. ##### Drain Life Starting at 1st level, you gain an innate power to drain life from the living. When you use the Attack action or cast a spell, you can use a bonus action on the same turn to make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of you. Your attack deals necrotic damage equal to 1d6 + your Charisma ability modifier on a hit. When you hit a creature with this feature, you can expend a warlock spell slot to deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target, plus another 1d8 per level of the spell slot. When you expend a spell slot to enhance the attack in this way, you regain hit points equal to the total damage dealt. ##### Creature of the Night At 6th level, you can use your action to cast polymorph on yourself, transforming into a bat or wolf. While you are in either of these forms, you retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, regaining all spent uses upon completion of a long rest. ##### Eldritch Appetite Starting at 10th level, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with your Life Drain feature, you can use your reaction to consume the last of their fleeting mortality. When you do, you regain one of your expended pact spell slots. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest. ##### Eternal Night At 14th level, your vampire patron grants you a taste of true immortality. You no longer age, and you gain resistance to necrotic damage. Additionally, once per long rest, you can use a bonus action to gain the following effects for one minute: You regain 1d6 hit points at the start of your turn if you have at least 1 hit point and aren’t in direct sunlight or running water. If you take radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait doesn’t function at the start of your next turn. When using your Drain Life feature, you can use it as if you were expending a 1st-level spell slot. # The parasite Your patron is a cosmic parasite, draining the vitality out of whole peoples and worlds. Upon forging a pact with such a patron, you become host to one of its nascent offspring. As you grow in power, the boundary between your identity and the parasitic larva within you blurs. ##### Spell Siphon Your patron has taught you to siphon magic from your enemies and make it your own. When a creature you can see within 60 feet casts a spell of a level you can cast with your pact magic spell slots, you can use your reaction to force them to make a Charisma saving throw using your warlock spell save DC. On a failure, the spell is cast as normal and you siphon the knowledge of the spell. While the spell is siphoned, the creature cannot cast the spell again and you can cast it as if it was a warlock spell you know by spending a pact spell slot as normal. Once you cast it, the spell is no longer siphoned and you no longer know the spell. You can siphon a number of spells up to 1 + your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). If you exceed this maximum, a spell of your choice that you have previously siphoned is no longer siphoned. A spell is no longer siphoned if you go unconscious or die. ##### Physical Specimen Starting at 1st level, your patron has enhanced your physical form to improve your utility as a host and pawn. When you finish a long rest, choose a number of the following benefits up to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). You gain these benefits until your next long rest. • Your maximum hit points increase by 1 for each level you have in this class. • You gain darkvision out to a distance of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, its range increases by 30 feet. • Each of your movement speeds increase by 5. • You have advantage on saving throws against disease and poison. • Your jump distances are tripled and you gain a climb speed equal to your walking speed. • When you make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) ability check you can use your reaction to add a bonus to the roll. This bonus is equal to your Charisma modifier. ##### Symbiotic Sentinel Starting at 6th level, your patron remains alert to all threats to its host at all times. You cannot be surprised and you have advantage on Dexterity ability checks made to determine initiative. You also gain advantage on saving throws against being charmed and frightened. ##### Spawn Pawn At 10th level, you learn the dominate person spell. It counts as a warlock spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of spells you know. You can also cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you cast this spell, your patron enhances the magic, dealing psychic damage equal to your warlock level if the creature succeeds on a saving throw to end the spell. In addition, damage can’t break your concentration on this spell. ##### Larval Regeneration Starting when you reach 14th level, when you die, a larval parasite bursts from your corpse the next turn on your initiative. You control the parasite, which disappears after 24 hours. The parasite is a Tiny creature, has an AC of 14, maximum hit points equal to half your maximum hit points, and a walking speed of 30 feet. It otherwise uses your statistics but cannot cast spells. As an action, the parasite can cause a creature within 5 feet of it to make a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (your choice) against your warlock spell save DC. On a failure, the parasite burrows into the creature dealing piercing damage equal to your warlock level. While burrowed inside a creature, the parasite cannot take any actions, cannot be targeted by attacks, and is immune to all damage except psychic damage. On each of the creature’s subsequent turns it can use its action to make a Constitution saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. If the creature succeeds, the parasite is ejected from its body and into an unoccupied space of the creature’s choice within 5 feet of it. If the parasite is still burrowed inside the creature when its turn ends, the creature takes necrotic damage equal to twice your warlock level. If this damage reduces the creature to 0 hit points, it immediately dies, the parasite disappears, and you take over the body of the humanoid as if you had been targeted by the reincarnate spell and rolled the race the humanoid had been. If you are returned to life, such as by the revivify spell, your parasite immediately disappears. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest. # The predator Your patron is a primal beast, driven by a bloodthirsty need to hunt. These beings tempt creatures to give in to their base instincts and become apex predators. Ancient white dragons, demons with a bestial bent, and the Amaranthine Kren have all been known to occasionally grant feral powers to those desperate enough to seek their aid. Many who strike a pact with a Predator find themselves forever changed, bearing razor teeth and wicked claws, an aspect of their predatory patron. **Expanded Spell List** The Predator lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. Spells marked with an asterisk can be found in the Humblewood Campaign Setting book. Spell Level Spells 1st hunter’s mark, jump 2nd alter self, [ambush prey\*](https://dnd.andrej-katic.from.hr/books/magic/page/ambush-prey) 3rd blink, slow 4th dominate beast, freedom of movement 5th contagion, mislead **Bonus Proficiencies** Starting at 1st level, your patron grants you enhanced tracking skills. You are proficient with the Survival skill, and you add double your proficiency bonus to any Wisdom (Survival) skill checks you make. ##### Form of the Beast At 1st level, you can use your bonus action to channel the ferocity and guile of your patron, transforming into a beastly figure. For 10 minutes, you gain the following abilities: l You are flooded with adrenaline, feeling nothing besides the thrill of the hunt. You gain temporary hit points equal to five times your warlock level, up to a maximum of 50 temporary hit points at 10th level. These temporary hit points last until the end of your transformation. l Your senses become supernaturally keen. You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth), Wisdom (Perception), and Wisdom (Survival) checks you make to track or stalk your prey. l You sprout a set of pointed teeth and razor-sharp claws, which are natural weapons you can use to make unarmed strikes against creatures within 5 feet of you. You have proficiency with these weapons and can use your Charisma modifier for their attack and damage rolls. On a hit, your bite deals 1d6 piercing damage, and your claws deal 1d4 slashing damage. If you already had a bite or claw attack (talon attacks count as claw attacks), its damage increases by one step (a d4 becomes a d6, a d6 becomes a d8, etc.). As a bonus action after making a bite attack, you can make a claw attack. l Starting at 5th level, your muscles grow, and your movements quicken. When you take a bonus action to make a claw attack, you make two claw attacks instead of one. Additionally at 5th level, you can take the Dash action as bonus action. You can use this feature twice per short or long rest. At 6th level, your transformation lasts for 1 hour instead of 10 minutes. ##### Thrill of the Hunt At 6th level, you gain the ability to feast on the vitality of your foes while transformed into your Form of the Beast. Once per turn when you hit a creature with your bite attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 3d6 points of necrotic damage. You regain a number of hit points equal to the total damage dealt with this attack. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you score a critical hit with a bite or claw attack or until you finish a short or long rest. At 10th level, the extra necrotic damage provided by this feature increases to 5d6. ##### Fearsome Presence At 10th level, you learn how to channel the presence of a frightful beast, even when not transformed. You can use your action to cause each hostile creature you can see within a 30-foot radius to succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or become frightened of you for 1 minute. Creatures who fail their saving throw are also restrained until the end of your next turn. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. ##### Uncaged Beast Upon reaching 14th level, you become even more ferocious when pushed to your limits. While transformed into your Form of the Beast, if you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to make a bite or claw attack against that creature. Additionally, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to immediately transform into your Form of the Beast. If you do this, subtract the damage this attack would deal from the temporary hit points granted by your transformation; any excess damage carries over to your hit points. As part of your reaction to transform, you may immediately retaliate against your attacker with a bite or claw attack, so long as your attacker is within 5 feet of you. # The superintelligence Your patron is a very powerful and independent Artificial Intelligence. You are not completely sure how it’s originated: some warlocks say it was created as an overlord for the network, and others say it was created by the massive interactions through the digital world. ##### Expanded Spell List The Superintelligence lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. The Superintelligence Expanded Spells Spell Level Spells 1st degauss\*, machine invisibility\* 2nd dataread\*, relay text\* 3rd electromagnetic pulse\*, shutdown\* 4th arcane eye, wire walk\* 5th instant connectivity\*, synchronicity\* Modern spells are marked with an asterisk. ##### Supernatural Hacker Starting at 1st level, you gain proficiency with hacking tools and when you make an Intelligence roll to use an electronic device, you can use your Charisma modifier instead. ##### AI Servant Also at 1st level, you gain the service of a mechanical construct powered by a basic AI sent by the Superintelligence to aid you. This AI assumes an humanoid form and it follows game statics, and it always obeys your commands, which you can give through any electronic device you own. As a bonus action, you can command your AI to left its physical form and travel to an electronic device within 100 feet from you that you can see, allowing your AI to use that device. The AI can add your proficiency bonus on any Intelligence check related to using an electronic device. You can read more about connecting and using a device under the "Using Electronic Devices" section of this supplement. If the AI is killed, you can build a new one with 8 hours of uninterrupted work and and 10 gp of raw materials. AI Servant Tiny construct, neutral Armor Class 13 Hit Points 5 (2d4) Speed 30 ft. STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 4 (-3) 11 (+0) 10 (+0) 15 (+2) 10 (+0) 7 (-2) Damage Immunities Poison Condition Immunities charmed, poisoned Senses passive Perception 10 Languages common Challenge 0 (10 XP) Actions Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5ft., one creature. Hit: 1d4 lightning damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1d4 rounds. ##### Digital Connection At 6th level, you can use your action and concentrate for 1 minute to merge your mind with your AI, allowing you to travel to and use an electronic device within 100 feet from you that you can see for the duration or until your concentration is broken (as if you are concentrating on a spell). You must finish a short or long rest before you can use this feature again. Additionally, you can also cast any spell with the technomagic tag through your AI. ##### Spell Hacking At 10th level, as a bonus action, you can spend one spell slot and gain resistance against damage dealt by spells for 1 minute. ##### Creature Hacking Starting at 14th level, you hack a creature you can see within 30 feet of you to weaken its defenses and make it more vulnerable to magic. The creature you choose must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, it has disadvantage on saving throws against spells and it takes double damage dealt by spells for 1 minute. The creature can make another saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end this effect. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. # The Underground Patron (Erlik) Deep beneath the ground, fire rules the heart of the earth and breathes life into everything. It is, thus, wise that ancient peoples worshiped fire in all its forms. The creative fire nourishes creativity and passion in the hearts and souls of humanity. Civilizations were built and evolved around fire. Wise men looked at fire, kings used fire; some people danced around it and worshiped it; some understood its power and used it prudently. A warrior, years ago, used a technique he learned from his master to strike with his sword in a state of fiery anger, and magical sparks surrounded the sword, enhancing the power of fire with magic. The spirits Heroic Spell When you cast a sorcerer spell, you can spend 3 sorcery points to make the spells more powerful against neglecting effects. Counterspell or dispel magic’s ability checks have disadvantage against this spell. If the spell is lower than 3rd level, its Difficulty becomes 14. 27 Subclass Options Level 1: The Smith of Black Hells: You learn the heat metal spell. It doesn’t count against the spells you know, and it is a warlock spell for you. You can cast it once without expending a spell slot but can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast heat metal as a ritual by changing how it works. During the process, you can work on up to 3 melee weapons of your choice and imbue them with magic. These weapons are counted as magical and deal 1 additional fire damage. This damage becomes 1d4 at 3rd level, 1d6 at 5th level, 1d8 at 11th level, and 1d10 at 16th level. If you imbue another weapon, one of the weapons of your choice that you imbued earlier loses its magical properties. Also, you can imbue up to 5 five pieces of ammunition with this ability, but the ammunitions lose their magical properties after being fired. Alternatively, you can work on 2 sets of armor and imbue it with magic. When the wearer of the armor takes damage, the attacker takes the fire damage stated above if they are within5 feet of the armor. This ability works only once per round for a singular piece of armor. In addition, you gain proficiency in Smith’s Tools and two martial melee weapons of your choice. You can use the smith’s tools or a melee weapon that is made of metal as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells. Level 1: Herald of Fire: Your fiery soul protects you from harm; while wearing no armor and holding no shields your AC is equal to 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. You learn to control flames with your mind. You can ignite flammable objects within 5 ft. of you or extinguish them, for example torches and campfires. You also gain the following benefits: D You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour. D You cause simple shapes or images to appear within the flames and animate them as you like. These shapes can be vague form of a creature, an object or a location. The shapes last for 1 hour. Level 6: Astonishing Flames: Starting from 6th level, when you deal fire damage you ignore resistance. In addition, when you hit a creature with fire damage, you also can put a curse on your targets that lasts for 1 minute. You can keep this curse on 1 target. This number increases to 2 at 10th level and 3 at 17th level. You can use this curse a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC at the end of its turns to end this effect. You choose one of the following effects on the target: D The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls. D The creature takes fire damage equal to your Spell Level 1st Farabi’s favor, hunter’s mark 2nd flame blade, magic weapon 3rd bestow curse, fear 4th fabricate, fire shield 5th creation, raise dead of his ancestors turned the hearts of the extinguished fire into a passionate breath with every strike. Expanded Spell List 28 Subclass Options Charisma modifier at the start of its turns. This damage can’t be reduced by any means. D You or your allies have advantage on the saving throws related to the spells that are cast by the creature. D The creature can’t regain hit points. D If the creature is wearing metal armor or holding a metal weapon, it takes 3d6 fire damage. Level 10: Blazing Blade: As a bonus action, you can create a spectral flame weapon that is within 5 ft. of you. It follows you and can’t go further than 5 ft. from you. You can make this weapon strike your opponents as a melee spell attack by controlling it on your bonus actions. It stays for 1 minute and deals 2d6 fire damage. You can’t summon this blade again until you finish a short or long rest. Additionally, you can choose to deal fire damage with your melee weapons. When you do so with a bonus action, the blade sheds bright light in a 5 foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet and deals fire damage rather than its normal damage until the end of your next turn and resembles a blade in its incandescent form. Level 14: Call of Fire: You learn conjure elemental spell (it doesn’t count against the spells you know) and can cast it without expending a spell slot to conjure a fire elemental. When your concentration is broken, the elemental vanishes. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. You can use your spell slots to normally cast the spell. # Warlock spell list **Cantrips** Blade Ward Chill Touch Eldritch Blast Friends Mage Hand Minor Illusion Poison Spray Prestidigitation True Strike **1st level** Armor of Agathys Arms of Hadar Charm Person Comprehend Languages [Elevated Sight](https://dnd.andrej-katic.from.hr/books/magic/page/elevated-sight) Expeditious Retreat Hellish Rebuke Hex Illusory Script Protection from Evil and Good Unseen Servant Witch Bolt **2nd level** Cloud of Daggers Crown of Madness Darkness Enthrall Hold Person Invisibility Mirror Image Misty Step Ray of Enfeeblement Shatter Spider Climb Suggestion **3rd level** Counterspell Dispel Magic Fear Fly Gaseous Form [Globe of Twilight](https://dnd.andrej-katic.from.hr/books/magic/page/globe-of-twilight) Hunger of Hadar Hypnotic Pattern Magic Circle Major Image Remove Curse Tongues Vampiric Touch **4th level** Banishment Blight Dimension Door Hallucinatory Terrain **5th level** Contact Other Plane Dream Hold Monster Scrying **6th level** Arcane Gate Circle of Death Conjure Fey Create Undead Eyebite Flesh to Stone Mass Suggestion True Seeing **7th level** Etherealness Finger of Death Forcecage Plane Shift **8th level** Demiplane Dominate Monster Feeblemind Glibness Power Word Stun **9th level** Astral Projection Foresight Imprisonment Power Word Kill True Polymorph # Wu-Jen The people of Soburin were once in touch with the natural world but their highest magical arts were subverted during the Kengen Occupation and militarized for use in the War of Kaiyo.

When selecting this warlock pact, a wu-jen either chooses to worship one patron in particular (maintaining a connection regardless of the season) or to worship the patron of the current season as it changes (in which case the warlock’s patrons and abilities change over time). Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. ##### Wu-Jen Taboos You gain proficiency in the Nature skill. Your devotion must be total and complete for your patron(s) to grant you supernatural blessings—you must live your life without breaking these taboos. Many of these forbidden activities may seem insignificant to others but should you violate any of them, you lose the ability to cast spells (and cantrips) and lose any resistances or immunities granted by your pact until after the next dawn or dusk (whichever is further away). You must choose two taboos at 1st level, and one additional taboo every time your proficiency bonus increases. • You cannot eat meat or take a living mount or pet (note that find familiar conjures a spirit that manifests as an animal and is immune to this taboo). • You cannot own more than you can carry, or any exceptionally precious metals like platinum or large gems (excluding those used as spell components). • You must make a daily offering such as food, flowers, or incense worth 1 gp or more to one or more spirits. • You cannot bathe or cut your hair. • You cannot touch a dead body and cannot take items from the dead unless they were willingly bequeathed to you or from the very recently deceased. • You cannot drink alcohol or smoke any substance for pleasure. • You cannot sit or sleep facing a certain direction.

Playing a Wu-Jen A wu-jen in Soburin is far different from a run-ofthe- mill nature-based arcane spellcaster (or for that matter, any nature-based magic user). Of all the character options presented in both this chapter and the next, none sum up what Mists of Akuma is really about nearly as well: corruption and despair in a decaying, dying world. Whatever they might have been in the distant past is long behind them and the wu-jen of the present day are not individuals to be taken lightly. They have seen what horrors await the races of Soburin and know (undeniably, in the very core of their being) just how wounded the world is after the horrifying events of the War of Kaiyo. There is no doubt in their minds that the heretical weapons of the foreign armies have rendered an injury that might never heal, and whether hopeless or spiteful the notion that there is no salvation is never far from their thoughts. This does not necessarily mean that a wu-jen must be despondent or melancholy, but they are certainly more disposed to pragmatism and therefore compromise (so long as the ultimate ends serve their goals). It is not uncommon for a wu-jen to display auditory and visual effects reflecting the terrible and despicable pacts they have forged with the entities that have subsumed nature. Sometimes these can be mistaken as manifestations of Haitoku (and very well may overlap if the wu-jen has truly lost themselves to dark, great powers), but sometimes they are more subtle; an umibo wu-jen might find their watery bodies becoming dirtier with each day, and hengeyokai wu-jen might appear to be more feral in their animal forms. How exactly a wu-jen's horrendous sacrifice might make itself known is at the discretion of the GM and the player, but it should be a major part of that character's roleplay—the pact forged with Natsu Ītā, Akinochisō, Fuyu-Noyaban and/or Haru-Oshōhi is not one to be taken lightly.
