Pact Magic
Your arcane research and the magic bestowed on you by your patron have given you facility with spells.

Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. You learn additional warlock cantrips of your
choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Warlock table.

Spell Slots
The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your warlock spells of 1st through 5th level. The
table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your
warlock spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you
finish a short or long rest.
For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell witch bolt, you
must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher


At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the warlock spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Warlock table shows when you learn more warlock spells of your choice of 1st
level or higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level
column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new warlock spell, which can be 1st,
2nd, or 3rd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the warlock spells you know and replace
it with another spell from the warlock spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells, so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers
to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a
warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.

Eldritch Invocations
In your study of occult lore, you have unearthed Eldritch Invocations, fragments of forbidden knowledge that
imbue you with an abiding magical ability.
At 2nd level, you gain two eldritch invocations of your choice. When you gain certain warlock levels, you gain
additional invocations of your choice, as shown in the Invocations Known column of the Warlock table. A level
prerequisite refers to your level in this class.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the invocations you know and replace it
with another invocation that you could learn at that level.

Pact Boon
At 3rd level, your otherworldly patron bestows a gift upon you for your loyal service. You gain one of the
following features of your choice.

 Pact of the Blade


o You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form
that this melee weapon takes each time you create it. You are proficient with it while you wield it.
This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to
nonmagical attacks and damage.
o Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also
disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you
die.
o You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while
you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a
short rest.
o You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears
whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon
in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual
on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at
your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.

 Pact of the Chain


o You learn the find familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn't count against your
number of spells known.
o When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of the
following special forms: imp, pseudodragon, quasit, or sprite.
o Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your
familiar to use its reaction to make one attack with its reaction.

 Pact of the Tome


o Your patron gives you a grimoire called a Book of Shadows. When you gain this feature, choose
three cantrips from any class's spell list (the three needn't be from the same list). While the book is
on your person, you can cast those cantrips at will. They don't count against your number of
cantrips known. If they don't appear on the warlock spell list, they are nonetheless warlock spells
for you.
o If you lose your Book of Shadows, 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 book. The book turns to ash when you die.

 Pact of the Talisman


o Your patron gives you an amulet, a talisman that can aid the wearer when the need is great. When
the wearer fails an ability check, they can add a d4 to the roll, potentially turning the roll into a
success. This benefit can be used a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and all
expended uses are restored when you finish a long rest.
o If you lose the talisman, 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
amulet. The talisman turns to ash when you die.

 Pact of the Star Chain (UA)


o Prerequisite: Seeker Patron
o The Seeker grants you a chain forged from starlight, decorated with seven gleaming motes of
brightness. While the chain is on your person, you know the augury spell and can cast it as a ritual.
The spell doesn't count against your number of spells known.
o Additionally, you can invoke the Seeker's power to gain advantage on an Intelligence check while
you carry this item. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or
long rest.
o If you lose your Star Chain, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from the
Seeker. The ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous
chain. The chain disappears in a flash of light when you die.
o The exact form of this item might be different depending on your patron. The Star Chain is inspired
by the Greyhawk deity Celestian.

Ability Score Improvement


When 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.

Eldritch Versatility (Optional)


Whenever 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:

 Replace one cantrip you learned from this class's Pact Magic feature with another cantrip from the warlock
spell list.

 Replace the option you chose for the Pact Boon feature with one of that feature's other options.

 If you're 12th level or higher, replace one spell from your Mystic Arcanum feature with another warlock spell
of the same level.

If this change makes you ineligible for any of your Eldritch Invocations, you must also replace them now,
choosing invocations for which you qualify.

Mystic Arcanum
At 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.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can
do so again.
At 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.
Eldritch Master
At 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.
Subclass: The Archfey
Your patron is a lord or lady of the fey, a creature of legend who holds secrets that were forgotten
before the mortal races were born. This being's motivations are often inscrutable, and sometimes
whimsical, and might involve a striving for greater magical power or the settling of age-old grudges.
Beings of this sort include the Prince of Frost; the Queen of Air and Darkness, ruler of the Gloaming
Court; Titania of the Summer Court; her consort Oberon, the Green Lord; Hyrsam, the Prince of Fools;
and ancient hags.

Expanded Spell List


The Archfey 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.

Archfey Expanded Spells

Spell Level Spells

1st Faerie Fire, Sleep

2nd Calm Emotions, Phantasmal Force

3rd Blink, Plant Growth

4th Dominate Beast, Greater Invisibility

5th Dominate Person, Seeming

Fey Presence
Starting at 1st level, your patron bestows upon you the ability to project the beguiling and fearsome presence of
the fey. As an action, you can cause each creature in a 10-foot cube originating from you to make a Wisdom
saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. The creatures that fail their saving throws are all charmed or
frightened by you (your choice) until the end of your next turn.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Misty Escape
Starting at 6th level, you can vanish in a puff of mist in response to harm. When you take damage, you can use
your reaction to turn invisible and teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You remain
invisible until the start of your next turn or until you attack or cast a spell.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Beguiling Defenses
Beginning at 10th level, your patron teaches you how to turn the mind-affecting magic of your enemies against
them. You are immune to being charmed, and when another creature attempts to charm you, you can use your
reaction to attempt to turn the charm back on that creature. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving
throw against your warlock spell save DC or be charmed by you for 1 minute or until the creature takes any
damage.
Dark Delirium
Starting at 14th level, you can plunge a creature into an illusory realm. As an action, choose a creature that you
can see within 60 feet of you. It must make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a
failed save, it is charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for 1 minute or until your concentration is broken (as
if you are concentrating on a spell). This effect ends early if the creature takes any damage.
Until this illusion ends, the creature thinks it is lost in a misty realm, the appearance of which you choose. The
creature can see and hear only itself, you, and the illusion.
You must finish a short or long rest before you can use this feature again.
Subclass: The Celestial
Your patron is a powerful being of the Upper Planes. You have bound yourself to an ancient empyrean,
solar, ki-rin, unicorn, or other entity that resides in the planes of everlasting bliss. Your pact with that
being allows you to experience the barest touch of the holy light that illuminates the multiverse.
Being connected to such power can cause changes to your behavior and beliefs. You might find
yourself driven to annihilate the undead, to defeat fiends, and to protect the innocent. At times, your
heart might also be filled with a longing for the celestial realm of your patron, a desire to wander that
paradise for the rest of your days. But you know that your mission is among mortals for now and that
your pact binds you to bring light to the dark places of the world.

Expanded Spell List


The Celestial 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.

Celestial Expanded Spells

Spell Level Spells

1st Cure Wounds, Guiding Bolt

2nd Flaming Sphere, Lesser Restoration

3rd Daylight, Revivify

4th Guardian of Faith, Wall of Fire

5th Flame Strike, Greater Restoration

Bonus Cantrips
At 1st level, you learn the Light and Sacred Flame cantrips. They count as warlock cantrips for you, but they
don’t count against your number of cantrips known.

Healing Light
At 1st level, you gain the ability to channel celestial energy to heal wounds. You have a pool of d6s that you
spend to fuel this healing. The number of dice in the pool equals 1 + your warlock level.
As a bonus action, you can heal one creature you can see within 60 feet of you, spending dice from the pool.
The maximum number of dice you can spend at once equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of one die). Roll
the dice you spend, add them together, and restore a number of hit points equal to the total.
Your pool regains all expended dice when you finish a long rest.

Radiant Soul
Starting at 6th level, your link to the Celestial allows you to serve as a conduit for radiant energy. You have
resistance to radiant damage, and when you cast a spell that deals radiant or fire damage, you add your
Charisma modifier to one radiant or fire damage roll of that spell against one of its targets.
Celestial Resistance
Starting at 10th level, you gain temporary hit points whenever you finish a short or long rest. These temporary hit
points equal your warlock level + your Charisma modifier. Additionally, choose up to five creatures you can see
at the end of the rest. Those creatures each gain temporary hit points equal to half your warlock level + your
Charisma modifier.

Searing Vengeance
Starting at 14th level, the radiant energy you channel allows you to resist death. When you have to make a
death saving throw at the start of your turn, you can instead spring back to your feet with a burst of radiant
energy. You regain hit points equal to half your hit point maximum, and then you stand up if you so choose.
Each creature of your choice that is within 30 feet of you takes radiant damage equal to 2d8 + your Charisma
modifier, and is blinded until the end of the current turn.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Subclass: The Fathomless
You have plunged into a pact with the deeps. An entity of the ocean, the Elemental Plane of Water, or
another otherworldly sea now allows you to draw on its thalassic power. Is it merely using you to learn
about terrestrial realms, or does it want you to open cosmic floodgates and drown the world?
Perhaps you were born into a generational cult that venerates the Fathomless and its spawn. Or you
might have been shipwrecked and on the brink of drowning when your patron's grasp offered you a
chance at life. Whatever the reason for your pact, the sea and its unknown depths call to you.
Entities of the deep that might empower a warlock include krakens, ancient water elementals, godlike
hallucinations dreamed into being by kuo-toa, merfolk demigods, and sea hag covens.
Source: Tasha's Cauldron of Everything

Expanded Spell List


The Fathomless 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.

Lurker Expanded Spells

Spell Level Spells

1st Create or Destroy Water, Thunderwave

2nd Gust of Wind, Silence

3rd Lightning Bolt, Sleet Storm

4th Control Water, Summon Elemental

5th Bigby's Hand (appears as a tentacle), Cone of Cold

Tentacle of the Deep


At 1st level, you can magically summon a spectral tentacle that strikes at your foes. As a bonus action, you
create a 10-foot-long tentacle at a point you can see within 60 feet of you. The tentacle lasts for 1 minute or until
you use this feature to create another tentacle.
When you create the tentacle, you can make a melee spell attack against one creature within 10 feet of it. On a
hit, the target takes 1d8 cold damage, and its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. When
you reach 10th level in this class, the damage increases to 2d8.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the tentacle up to 30 feet and repeat the attack .
You can summon the tentacle a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended
uses when you finish a long rest.

Gift of the Sea


Also at 1st level, you gain a swimming speed of 40 feet, and you can breathe underwater.

Oceanic Soul
At 6th level, you are now even more at home in the depths. You gain resistance to cold damage. In addition,
when you are fully submerged, any creature that is also fully submerged can understand your speech, and you
can understand theirs.
Guardian Coil
At 6th level, your Tentacle of the Deeps can defend you and others, interposing itself between them and harm.
When you or a creature you can see takes damage while within 10 feet of the tentacle, you can use your
reaction to choose one of those creatures and reduce the damage to that creature by 1d8. When you reach 10th
level in this class, the damage reduced by the tentacle increases to 2d8.

Grasping Tentacles
Starting at 10th level, you learn the spell Evard's Black Tentacles. 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 using a spell slot, and
you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Whenever you cast this spell, your patron's magic bolsters you, granting you a number of temporary hit points
equal to your warlock level. Moreover, damage can't break your concentration on this spell.

Fathomless Plunge
When you reach 14th level, you can magically open temporary conduits to watery destinations. As an action, you
can teleport yourself and up to five other willing creatures that you can see within 30 feet of you. Amid a whirl of
tentacles, you all vanish and then reappear up to 1 mile away in a body of water you've seen (pond size or
larger) or within 30 feet of it, each of you appearing in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of the others.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Subclass: The Fiend
You have made a pact with a fiend from the lower planes of existence, a being whose aims are evil, even
if you strive against those aims. Such beings desire the corruption or destruction of all things,
ultimately including you. Fiends powerful enough to forge a pact include demon lords such as
Demogorgon, Orcus, Fraz'Urb-luu, and Baphomet; archdevils such as Asmodeus, Dispater,
Mephistopheles, and Belial; pit fiends and balors that are especially mighty; and ultroloths and other
lords of the yugoloths.

Expanded Spell List


The Fiend 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.

2nd Blindness/Deafness, Scorching Ray

3rd Fireball, Stinking Cloud

4th Fire Shield, Wall of Fire

5th Flame Strike, Hallow

Dark One's Blessing


Starting at 1st level, when you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to
your Charisma modifier + your warlock level (minimum of 1).

Dark One's Own Luck


Starting at 6th level, you can call on your patron to alter fate in your favor. When you make an ability check or a
saving throw, you can use this feature to add a d10 to your roll. You can do so after seeing the initial roll but
before any of the roll's effects occur.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Fiendish Resilience
Starting at 10th level, you can choose one damage type when you finish a short or long rest. You gain resistance
to that damage type until you choose a different one with this feature. Damage from magical weapons or silver
weapons ignores this resistance.

Hurl Through Hell


Starting at 14th level, when you hit a creature with an attack, you can use this feature to instantly transport the
target through the lower planes. The creature disappears and hurtles through a nightmare landscape.
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 a fiend, it takes 10d10 psychic damage as it reels from its horrific experience.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Subclass: The Genie
You have made a pact with one of the rarest kinds of genie, a noble genie. Such entities rule vast fiefs
on the Elemental Planes and have great influence over lesser genies and elemental creatures. Noble
genies are varied in their motivations, but most are arrogant and wield power that rivals that of lesser
deities. They delight in turning the table on mortals, who often bind genies into servitude, and readily
enter into pacts that expand their reach.
You choose your patron's kind or determine it randomly, using the Genie Kind table.

9th Wish — — — —
Genie's Vessel
Also at 1st level, your patron gifts you a magical vessel that grants you a measure of the genie's power. The
vessel is a Tiny object, and you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells. You decide what the
object is, or you can determine what it is randomly by rolling on the Genie's Vessel table.

Genie's Vessel

d6 Vessel

1 Oil lamp

2 Urn

3 Ring with a compartment

4 Stoppered bottle

5 Hollow statuette

6 Ornate lantern
While you are touching the vessel, you can use it in the following ways:

 Bottled Respite: As an action, you can magically vanish and enter your vessel, which remains in the
space you left. The interior of the vessel is an extradimensional space in the shape of a 20-foot-radius
cylinder, 20 feet high, and resembles your vessel. The interior is appointed with cushions and low tables
and is a comfortable temperature. While inside, you can hear the area around your vessel as if you were in
its space. You can remain inside the vessel up to a number of hours equal to twice your proficiency bonus.
You exit the vessel early if you use a bonus action to leave, if you die, or if the vessel is destroyed. When
you exit the vessel, you appear in the unoccupied space closest to it. Any objects left in the vessel remain
there until carried out, and if the vessel is destroyed, every object stored there harmlessly appears in the
unoccupied spaces closest to the vessel's former space. Once you enter the vessel, you can't enter again
until you finish a long rest.

 Genie's Wrath: Once during each of your turns when you hit with an attack roll, you can deal extra
damage to the target equal to your proficiency bonus. The type of this damage is determined by your
patron: bludgeoning (dao), thunder (djinni), fire (efreeti), or cold (marid).

The vessel's AC equals your spell save DC. Its hit points equal your warlock level plus your proficiency bonus,
and it is immune to poison and psychic damage.
If the vessel is destroyed or you lose it, 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 the previous vessel is destroyed if it still
exists. The vessel vanishes in a flare of elemental power when you die.

Elemental Gift
At 6th level, you begin to take on characteristics of your patron's kind. You now have resistance to a damage
type determined by your patron's kind: bludgeoning (dao), thunder (djinni), fire (efreeti), or cold (marid).
In addition, as a bonus action, you can give yourself a flying speed of 30 feet that lasts for 10 minutes, during
which you can hover. You can use this bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you
regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Sanctuary Vessel
At 10th level, when you enter your Genie's Vessel via the Bottled Respite feature, you can now choose up to five
willing creatures that you can see within 30 feet of you, and the chosen creatures are drawn into the vessel with
you.
As a bonus action, you can eject any number of creatures from the vessel, and everyone is ejected if you leave
or die or if the vessel is destroyed.
In addition, anyone (including you) who remains within the vessel for at least 10 minutes gains the benefit of
finishing a short rest, and anyone can add your proficiency bonus to the number of hit points they regain if they
spend any Hit Dice as part of a short rest there.

Limited Wish
At 14th level, you entreat your patron to grant you a small wish. As an action, you can speak your desire to your
Genie's Vessel, requesting the effect of one spell that is 6th level or lower and has a casting time of 1 action.
The spell can be from any class's spell list, and you don't need to meet the requirements in that spell, including
costly components: the spell simply takes effect as part of this action.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish 1d4 long rests.
Subclass: The Great Old One
Your patron is a mysterious entity whose nature is utterly foreign to the fabric of reality. It might come
from the Far Realm, the space beyond reality, or it could be one of the elder gods known only in
legends. Its motives are incomprehensible to mortals, and its knowledge so immense and ancient that
even the greatest libraries pale in comparison to the vast secrets it holds. The Great Old One might be
unaware of your existence or entirely indifferent to you, but the secrets you have learned allow you to
draw your magic from it.
Entities of this type include Ghaunadar, called That Which Lurks; Tharizdun, the Chained God; Dendar,
the Night Serpent; Zargon, the Returner; Great Cthulhu; and other unfathomable beings.

Starting at 1st level, your alien knowledge gives you the ability to touch the minds of other creatures. You can
telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don't need to share a language with
the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least
one language.

Entropic Ward
At 6th level, you learn to magically ward yourself against attack and to turn an enemy's failed strike into good
luck for yourself. When a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose
disadvantage on that roll. If the attack misses you, your next attack roll against the creature has advantage if you
make it before the end of your next turn.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Thought Shield
Starting at 10th level, your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means unless you allow it. You also have
resistance to psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic damage to you, that creature takes the
same amount of damage that you do.
Create Thrall
At 14th level, you gain the ability to infect a humanoid's mind with the alien magic of your patron. You can use
your action to touch an incapacitated humanoid. That creature is then charmed by you until a Remove
Curse spell is cast on it, the charmed condition is removed from it, or you use this feature again.
You can communicate telepathically with the charmed creature as long as the two of you are on the same plane
of existence.
Subclass: The Hexblade
You have made your pact with a mysterious entity from the Shadowfell – a force that manifests in
sentient magic weapons carved from the stuff of shadow. The mighty sword Blackrazor is the most
notable of these weapons, which have been spread across the multiverse over the ages. The shadowy
force behind these weapons can offer power to warlocks who form pacts with it. Many hexblade
warlocks create weapons that emulate those formed in the Shadowfell. Others forgo such arms, content
to weave the dark magic of that plane into their spellcasting.
Because the Raven Queen is known to have forged the first of these weapons, many sages speculate
that she and the force are one and that the weapons, along with hexblade warlocks, are tools she uses
to manipulate events on the Material Plane to her inscrutable ends.

Expanded Spell List


The Hexblade 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.

Hexblade Expanded Spells

Spell Level Spells

1st Shield, Wrathful Smite

2nd Blur, Branding Smite

3rd Blink, Elemental Weapon

4th Phantasmal Killer, Staggering Smite

5th Banishing Smite, Cone of Cold

Hexblade's Curse
Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to place a baleful curse on someone. As a bonus action, choose one
creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1 minute. The curse ends early if the target
dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:

 You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.

 Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.

 If the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier
(minimum of 1 hit point).

You can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

Hex Warrior
At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with
medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.
The influence of your patron also allows you to mystically channel your will through a particular weapon.
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-
handed property. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or
Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. If you later gain the Pact
of the Blade feature, this benefit extends to every pact weapon you conjure with that feature, no matter the
weapon's type.
Accursed Specter
Starting at 6th level, you can curse the soul of a person you slay, temporarily binding it in your service. When
you slay a humanoid, you can cause its spirit to rise from its corpse as a specter. When the specter appears, it
gains temporary hit points equal to half your warlock level. Roll initiative for the specter, which has its own turns.
It obeys your verbal commands, and it gains a special bonus to its attack rolls equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of +0).
The specter remains in your service until the end of your next long rest, at which point it vanishes to the afterlife.
Once you bind a specter with this feature, you can't use the feature again until you finish a long rest.

Armor of Hexes
At 10th level, your hex grows more powerful. If the target cursed by your Hexblade’s Curse hits you with an
attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll a d6. On a 4 or higher, the attack instead misses you, regardless of
its roll.

Master of Hexes
Starting at 14th level, you can spread your Hexblade's Curse from a slain creature to another creature. When
the creature cursed by your Hexblade's Curse dies, you can apply the curse to a different creature you can see
within 30 feet of you, provided you aren't incapacitated. When you apply the curse in this way, you don't regain
hit points from the death of the previously cursed creature.
Subclass: The Undead
You've made a pact with a deathless being, a creature that defies the cycle and life and death, forsaking
its mortal shell so it might eternally pursue its unfathomable ambitions. For such beings, time and
morality are fleeting things, the concerns of those for whom grains of sand still rush through life's
hourglass. Having once been mortal themselves, these ancient undead know firsthand the paths of
ambition and the routes past the doors of death. They eagerly share this profane knowledge, along with
other secrets, with those who work their will among the living.
Beings of this type include the demilich Acererak, the vampire tyrant Kas the Bloody-Handed, the
githyanki lich-queen Vlaakith, the dracolich Dragotha, the undead pharaoh Ankhtepot, and the elusive
Darklord, Azalin Rex.

Expanded Spell List


At 1st level, the Undead 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.

Undead Expanded Spells

Spell Level Spells

1st Bane, False Life

2nd Blindness/Deafness, Phantasmal Force

3rd Phantom Steed, Speak with Dead

4th Death Ward, Greater Invisibility

5th Antilife Shell, Cloudkill

Form of Dread
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:

 You gain temporary hit points equal to 1d10 + your warlock level.

 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.

 You are immune to the frightened condition.

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 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 body might glow with glyphs from
ancient funerary rites and be surrounded by desert winds, suggesting your mummy patron.

Grave Touched
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.
In addition, once during each of your turns, 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.
Necrotic Husk
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.
In addition, when you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to drop to 1 hit point instead and
cause your body to erupt with deathly energy. Each creature of your choice that is within 30 feet of you takes
necrotic damage equal to 2d10 + your warlock level. You then gain 1 level of exhaustion. Once you use this
reaction, you can’t do so again until you finish 1d4 long rests.

Spirit Projection
At 14th level, your spirit can become untethered from your physical form. 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.
Your spirit resembles your mortal form in almost every way, replicating game statistics but not your possessions.
Any damage or other effects that apply to your spirit or physical body affects the other. Your 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).
While projecting your spirit, you gain the following benefits:

 Your spirit and body gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

 When you cast a spell of the conjuration or necromancy school, the spell doesn’t require verbal or somatic
components or material components that lack a gold cost.

 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.

 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.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
Subclass: The Undying
Death holds no sway over your patron, who has unlocked the secrets of everlasting life, although such a
prize – like all power – comes at a price. Once mortal, the Undying has seen mortal lifetimes pass like
the seasons, like the flicker of endless days and nights. It has the secrets of the ages to share, secrets
of life and death. Beings of this sort include Vecna, Lord of the Hand and the Eye; the dread Iuz; the lich-
queen Vol; the Undying Court of Aerenal; Vlaakith, lich-queen of the githyanki; and the deathless wizard
Fistandantalus.
In the Realms, Undying patrons include Larloch the Shadow King, legendary master of Warlock's Crypt,
and Gilgeam, the God-King of Unther.

Expanded Spell List


The Undying 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.

Undying Expanded Spells

Spell Level Spells

1st False Life, Ray of Sickness

2nd Blindness/Deafness, Silence

3rd Feign Death, Speak with Dead

4th Aura of Life, Death Ward

5th Contagion, Legend Lore

Among the Dead


Starting at 1st level, you learn the Spare the Dying cantrip, which counts as a warlock cantrip for you. You also
have advantage on saving throws against any disease.
Additionally, undead have difficulty harming you. If an undead targets you directly with an attack or a harmful
spell, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC (an undead needn't make the
save when it includes you in an area effect, such as the explosion of Fireball). On a failed save, the creature
must choose a new target or forfeit targeting someone instead of you, potentially wasting the attack or spell. On
a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours. An undead is also immune to this effect for
24 hours if you target it with an attack or a harmful spell.

Defy Death
Starting at 6th level, you can give yourself vitality when you cheat death or when you help someone else cheat it.
You can regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 hit point) when you succeed
on a death saving throw or when you stabilize a creature with Spare the Dying.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Undying Nature
Beginning at 10th level, you can hold your breath indefinitely, and you don't require food, water, or sleep,
although you still require rest to reduce exhaustion and still benefit from finishing short and long rests.
In addition, you age at a slower rate. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year, and you are
immune to being magically aged.
Indestructible Life
When you reach 14th level, you partake of some of the true secrets of the Undying. On your turn, you can use a
bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your warlock level. Additionally, if you put a severed body part of
yours back in place when you use this feature, the part reattaches.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
