Avatar of The Great Horned Rat
At 14th level, your Patron's spirit temporarily merges with
yours. As an action, you can beckon The Great Horned Rat to
possess your body, further empowering you with His might.
While possessed, you gain the following benefits:
You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing
damage.
Your walking speed increases by 15 ft, and you have a
climbing speed equal to your walking speed. Attacks of
opportunity against you are made at disadvantage.
Your hands turn into claws. They are considered simple
weapons with the finesse feature that you are proficient
with, and they deal 2d12 damage on a hit. They still
function as hands.
While you are using your Aspect of The Great Horned Rat,
once during each of your turns when you deal lightning,
acid or poison damage to a single creature, you regain hit
points equal to half the amount of damage dealt. You can transform one magic whip 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. You can then dismiss the whip,
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.
