Daily Punch 5-21-18 Shell of the Master Warlock Pact for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

I wrote some stuff for a upcoming thing!  Here are some things I liked, but didn’t make the cut.   Here is a Warlock pact.  Its a scary one!

 

Shell of the Master

Every master chooses those who can serve, and you have been chosen for a most glorious purpose. Something happened, you do not remember much, but there was blood and pain, and now you feel the master in you. You are the now the harbinger of the master.  The master grants you power to protect his or her investment. Soon the master will choose you for his final purpose and you will be given the most precious gift of becoming one with the master!

 

Table: Shell of the Master Expended Spells

Your master provides several extra spells that most warlocks do not have access to. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Table: Symbiote Expended Spells

 

Spell Level Spells
1st Cure Wounds (self only), Shield
2nd Barkskin (self only), Enhance Ability (self only)
3rd Protection for Energy (self only), Haste (self only)
4th Greater Invisibility (self only), Stoneskin(selfonly)
5th Modify Memory, Contagion

 

Master’s Protection

Starting at level 1, the master has granted you withhis investment a measure of protection. A number of time per day equal to your Charisma modifier, you can cast shield without using a spell slot or using your reaction for the round. You need not have shield prepared to cast this spell.

 

The Child Quickens

Starting at 6th level, you feel something the child growing inside you, and your “soon to be born child” begins to help its vesselvesile. A number of times per day equal to your Constitution and Charisma modifier you may gain advantage on a saving throw.

 

Share the gift

Starting at 10th level, you have begun to grow to bulbus lengths as the child begins to grow and squirm inside of you and throughout you. Once per day you may grab a helpless humanoid with less than 20 hit points and kiss that creature on the mouth, expelling your master’s children into the creature. The creature must attempt a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, you have filled the creature with your masters spawn. The creature is affected by dominate person for 1 minute requiring no concentration. Once the spell ends, the masters spawn hatch and the creature explodes in to a shower of gore and you summon forth a creature of CR 2 or less of your master’s chosen type. The summoned creature is not under anyone’s control and acts according to its own will except to not attack you. All creatures who witness the effect must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for one round. You may do this once per day and must take a long rest before you can reuse this ability.

 

Bodily Transcendence

When you reach 14th level, the master has arrived! You explode into a shower of horror and the master’s true child steps forth from you ruins of your body. You are utterly destroyed and only a wish spell can restore you to life. Choose a creature of your master’s type with a CR of 7 or less that your master would approve, at GM discretion. You are now this creature. You gain all the powers of the warlock class you had as well as all abilities from your new class. You may retrain any ability increases using the creatures base statistics, and you are no longer limited to having a maximum of 20 in any statistic. The DC of any special abilities is equal to your spell save DC and any special attack of the creature is treated as a melee spell attack that you are considered to be proficient in. You continue to level as a warlock from this point forward as you are still being guided by the master in this new form.

Daily Punch 5-18-18 Merlin’s Apprentice arcane tradition for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Let’s finish out the giant book strong.  Here’s one for the wizards who use giants to do their dirty work!

 

Merlin’s Apprentice

You follow a master who needs no introduction.  A trickster and wise-man from an early age he guides you, molds you, and shows you how to work magic that is not always arcane or even uses spells!  He shows you ways to handle situations that sometimes use friendship, guile, and occasionally a spell.

Master of the Real Magic

Beginning at 2nd level, you see what the master says when guiding men is more important than mastering magic.  You gain proficiency in Charisma(diplomacy) and Wisdom(insight).  If you are already trained in either, gain the rogue’s expertise class feature for that skill or possibly both.

Hiding in Plain Sight

Starting at 6th level, the master shows you how to move around unhindered among men not paying attention.  Twice per day you can use a druid’s Wild Shape ability as a druid of your level or cast disguise self  without it consuming a spell slot.

Good Friends are a Good Find

Beginning at 10th level, the master introduces you to his friends.  You can cast conjure elemental but instead of conjuring an elemental you conjure a giant of equal CR.  This spell does not consume a spell slot.  If you lost control of this giant, it is not hostile to you unless you act hostile to it.

The Master’s Final Lesson

Starting at 14th level,  you learn the final lesson you master never learned himself.  You are immune to all spell and effects that charm you and have advantage on all saving throws against spells of the enchantment, abjuration, and conjuration schools.
