{"name":"Warlock - The Ancient Dark","overview":"Warlocks are beings who make a pact that establishes a connection with another being vastly more powerful than them, also known as a patron. In order to attain a goal that is attainable with vast amounts of power. The price a patron asks can vary quite widely. \r\n\r\nThis warlock has made a contract with something ancient and dark. An entity of old from realms full of shadow and horror. Many warlocks who make a pact with this sort of patron are of an evil alignment. It is rare to see those who are of other alignments making this pact. If the warlock is not of an evil alignment when they first make a pact with this patron, they often eventually will be. Or will feel pulled and influenced towards deeds fitting of those alignments.

This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous amulet. The talisman turns to ash when you die.\r\n|Pact of the Talisman\r\n[\/spoiler]\r\n\r\n[h1][b]Ability Score Improvement[\/b][\/h1]\r\nWhen 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.\r\n\r\n[h1][b]Eldritch Versatility (Optional)[\/b][\/h1]\r\nWhenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can do one of the following, representing a change of focus in your occult studies:\r\n\r\n[ol]\r\n[li]Replace one cantrip you learned from this class's Pact Magic feature with another cantrip from the warlock spell list.[\/li]\r\n[li]Replace the option you chose for the Pact Boon feature with one of that feature's other options.[\/li]\r\n[li]If you're 12th level or higher, replace one spell from your Mystic Arcanum feature with another warlock spell of the same level.[\/li]\r\n[\/ol]\r\n\r\nIf this change makes you ineligible for any of your Eldritch Invocations, you must also replace them now, choosing invocations for which you qualify.\r\n\r\n[h1][b]Mystic Arcanum[\/b][\/h1]\r\nAt 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.\r\n\r\nYou can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.\r\n\r\nAt 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.\r\n\r\n[h1][b]Eldritch Master[\/b][\/h1]\r\nAt 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.\r\n","subclass_options":"[h1][b]Expanded Spell List[\/b][\/h1]\r\n[ul]\r\n[li]1st: [url:https:\/\/www.worldanvil.com\/block\/1019580]Dissonant Whispers[\/url], [url:https:\/\/www.worldanvil.com\/block\/1019602]False Life[\/url][\/li]\r\n[li]2nd: [url:https:\/\/www.worldanvil.com\/block\/1022186]Blindness\/Deafness[\/url], [url:https:\/\/www.worldanvil.com\/block\/987770]Phantasmal Force[\/url][\/li]\r\n[li]3rd: [url:https:\/\/www.worldanvil.com\/block\/986402]Blink[\/url], [url:https:\/\/www.worldanvil.com\/block\/1039524]Phantom Steed[\/url][\/li]\r\n[li]4th: [url:https:\/\/www.worldanvil.com\/block\/228739]Phantasmal Killer[\/url], [url:https:\/\/www.worldanvil.com\/block\/228695]Evard's Black Tentacles[\/url][\/li]\r\n[li]5th: [url:https:\/\/www.worldanvil.com\/block\/342096]Dominate Person[\/url], [url:https:\/\/www.worldanvil.com\/block\/342019]Banishing Smite[\/url][\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\n\r\n[h1][b]Form of Dread[\/b][\/h1]\r\nStarting at 1st level, you manifest an aspect of your patron's dreadful power. As a bonus action, you transform for 1 minute. You gain the following benefits while transformed:\r\n[ul]\r\n[li]You gain temporary hit points equal to 1d10 + your warlock level.[\/li]\r\n[li]Once during each of your turns, when you hit a creature with an attack, you can force it to make a Wisdom saving throw, and if the saving throw fails, the target is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.[\/li]\r\n[li]You are immune to the frightened condition.[\/li]\r\n[li]You can transform a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\nThe appearance of your Form of Dread reflects some aspect of your patron. For example, your form could be a shroud of shadows forming the crown and robes of your lich patron, or your face might transform into bat-like features due to your vampire patron.\r\n\r\n[h1][b]Abyss Touched[\/b][\/h1]\r\nStarting at 6th level, your patron's powers have a profound effect on your body and magic. You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe.\r\n \r\nIn addition, when you hit a creature with an attack and roll damage against the creature, you can replace the damage type with necrotic damage. While you are using your Form of Dread, you can roll one additional damage die when determining the necrotic damage the target takes.\r\n\r\n[h1][b]Mortal Husk[\/b][\/h1]\r\nStarting at 10th level, your connection to undeath and necrotic energy now saturates your body. You have resistance to necrotic damage. If you are transformed using your Form of Dread, you instead become immune to necrotic damage.\r\n \r\nIn addition, when you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can cause your body to explode. Each creature within 30 feet of you takes necrotic damage equal to 2d10 + your warlock level. You then revive with 1 hit point in your previous space, along with your gear, and you gain 1 level of exhaustion. Once you revive this way, you can't do so again until you finish 1d4 long rests.\r\n\r\n[h1][b]Spirit Projection[\/b][\/h1]\r\nStarting at 14th level, your body is now simply a vessel for your spirit. As an action, you can project your spirit from your body. The body you leave behind is unconscious and in a state of suspended animation.\r\n \r\nYour spirit can remain outside your body for up to 1 hour or until your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell). When your projection ends, your spirit returns to your body or your body magically teleports to your spirit's space (your choice).\r\n \r\nWhile projecting your spirit, you gain the following benefits:\r\n[ul]\r\n[li]Your spirit and body gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.\r\nWhen you cast a spell of the conjuration or necromancy school, the spell doesn't require verbal, somatic, or material components that lack a gold cost.[\/li]\r\n[li]You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed and can hover. You can move through creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside a creature or an object.[\/li]\r\n[li]While you are using your Form of Dread, once during each of your turns when you deal necrotic damage to a creature, you regain hit points equal to half the amount of necrotic damage dealt.[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\nOnce you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.","table_data":"Level|Proficiency Bonus|Features|Cantrips Known|Spells Known|Spell Slots|Slot Level|Invocations Known\r\n1|+2|Otherworldly Patron, Pact Magic|2|2|1|1st|-\r\n2|+2|Eldritch Invocations|2|3|2|1st|2\r\n3|+2|Pact Boon|2|4|2|2nd|2\r\n4|+2|Ability Score Improvement, Eldritch Versatility (Optional)|3|5|2|2nd|2\r\n5|+3|-|3|6|2|3rd|3\r\n6|+3|Otherworldly Patron Feature|3|7|2|3rd|3\r\n7|+3|-|3|8|2|4th|4\r\n8|+3|Ability Score Improvement, Eldritch Versatility (Optional)|3|9|2|4th|4\r\n9|+4|-|3|10|2|5th|5\r\n10|+4|Otherworldly Patron Feature|4|10|2|5th|5\r\n11|+4|Mystic Arcanum (6th Level)|4|11|3|5th|5\r\n12|+4|Ability Score Improvement, Eldritch Versatility (Optional)|4|11|3|5th|6\r\n13|+5|Mystic Arcanum (7th Level)|4|12|3|5th|6\r\n14|+5|Otherworldly Patron Feature|4|12|3|5th|6\r\n15|+5|Mystic Arcanum (8th Level)|4|13|3|5th|7\r\n16|+5|Ability Score Improvement, Eldritch Versatility (Optional)|4|13|3|5th|7\r\n17|+6|Mystic Arcanum (9th Level)|4|14|4|5th|7\r\n18|+6|-|4|14|4|5th|8\r\n19|+6|Ability Score Improvement, Eldritch Versatility (Optional)|4|15|4|5th|8\r\n20|+6|Eldritch Master|4|15|4|5th|8","source":"","jsondata":"","tags":"","templateId":"5460","blockId":"1229460","world":"","isShared":"on"}
