# Warlock, The Murrain Maiden

LEGEND HAS IT THAT  
the visage of the goddess  
Kogha often appears to  
Zamanori when they are  
about to perish from a  
degenerative illness, or the fumes of a  
poisonous mushroom. In their time of need,  
she offers them a choice: perish, or become  
her advocate. Those who submit receive  
her pestilent grace, along with the ability  
to infect and envenom living beings. These  
plague-bearers often form covenants outside  
of civilized lands, preferring the embrace of  
swamps where their patron’s creations thrive.  
Kogha’s creed is not one of wanton  
destruction. Her devout believe that  
disease is but a trial; one that determines  
which souls are bound for the domain  
of Belegorn, her father, and which still  
belong to the world of the living. They see  
this as a necessary process of selection,  
like separating the wheat from the chaff,  
allowing the strong to survive and the weak  
to pass on.

Bonus Cantrip  
1st-level Murrain Maiden feature  
At 1st level, you learn the poison spray cantrip.  
It counts as a warlock cantrip for you, but it  
doesn’t count against your number of cantrips  
known.  
Intoxication  
1st-level Murrain Maiden feature  
Also at 1st level, you relish in the blight wrought  
by your patron. Whenever you deal poison  
damage to a creature within 10 feet of you, or  
whenever you start your turn within 5 feet of  
a creature that is poisoned, you can use your  
reaction to become toxified for the next minute.  
While you are toxified, you gain the following  
benefits:  
• You gain 1d8 temporary hit points at the  
start of your turn.  
• You are immune to the charmed and  
frightened conditions.  
You can use this feature a number of times equal  
to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all  
expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.  
Noxious Flower  
6th-level Murrain Maiden feature  
Starting at 6th level, you can spring a venomous  
rose in the palm of your hand, which emanates a fog of nauseating fumes that devastates your  
enemies. As an action, you create a 10-foot  
radius sphere of toxic vapors centered on a point  
within 30 feet of you. The sphere also spreads  
around corners. When a creature enters the  
effect’s area for the first time on a turn or starts  
its turn there, it must make a Constitution  
saving throw. On a failure, the creature is  
poisoned and remains so until it ends its turn  
outside the affected area. During each of your  
turns, you can use your bonus action to move  
the cloud up to 15 feet. The cloud persists for 1  
minute or until a wind of moderate or greater  
speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it.  
You can use this feature a number of times equal  
to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all  
expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.  
Mudwalk  
10th-level Murrain Maiden feature  
Starting at 10th level, you can evoke your  
patron’s putrid form with each step that you  
tread. At the end of each of your turns and  
while you are standing on soft ground, you  
may choose to turn the area within a 5-foot  
radius around you into a swamp for the next  
minute. The area becomes difficult terrain for  
all creatures other than you. As a bonus action  
while standing over a swamp area created by  
you, you can teleport to any swamp square  
created by you.  
You can teleport in this way for a number of  
times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you  
regain all expended uses of it when you finish a  
long rest.  
Blightbringer  
14th-level Murrain Maiden feature  
Beginning at 14th level, you can bring forth  
pestilence and disease. As an action, you may  
force all creatures of your choice within the area  
of your Toxic Miasma to make a Constitution  
saving throw. On a failure, they are affected by a  
random disease as per the contagion spell.  
Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again  
until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a  
spell slot of 5th-level or higher to use it again.
