# Class Revisions

Here are revisions of base classes, intended to make the classes better, as well as more interesting and fun to play. It is intended to be used alongside [Archetype Revisions](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-L7YQZOdCYFqIks5hhwR "Archetype Revisions").

## Barbarian
This revision intends to make Barbarian better at being a Barbarian. The main issue with base Barbarian is it gets two damage options. Bonus critical hit damage at 9th level, 13th level, and 17th level. And 4 bonus Strength and Constitution at 20th. The class falls off super hard with little reason to stay in it after 5th level. 
___
These changes give the Barbarian damage options and incentives to stay in the class all the way through a campaign, giving it slightly better defensive and much better offensive options as a player gains levels in the class.

## Fighter
Borrowed from an acquaintance, then changed slightly as well. It gives all Fighters superiority dice and maneuvers, like the Battlemaster archetype, although with reduced strength. Battlemaster still retains its hierarchy as the most versatile Fighter with great extra damage to boot, but this rework certainly makes Fighters on the whole more fun and engaging to play, as well as putting them on a more even playing field with other powerhouse classes.

## Ranger
Revised Ranger is too strong, and base Ranger is simply lackluster. I mixed the two, keeping it more PHB Ranger and adding in some homebrew changes, as well as borrowing from the Hunter archetype to round out the class. Although the Ranger is technically a spellcaster, and by all rights should have "dead" levels, I changed that. The Ranger spell list is not as bad as some claim it to be, but I find it's not good enough to warrant having levels where they only gain a new spell level.

They're no Paladins when it comes to damage output or utlity via their spells.

## Warlock
Warlocks are not a particularly strong class. This aims to give them some love taps, and rearrange some features to make them more competitive with other casters while still retaining their unique flavor.

# Barbarian
### Rage
In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action.

While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren't wearing heavy armor:

You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll. This bonus increases as you level.
You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while raging.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or you end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.

Once you have raged the maximum number of times for your barbarian level, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again. You may rage 2 times at 1st level, 3 at 3rd, 4 at 6th, 5 at 12th, and 6 at 17th.

### Unarmored Defense
While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

### Danger Sense
At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

### Reckless Attack
Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.

### Primal Path
At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage from the list of available paths. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.

If you are surprised at the beginning of combat and aren't incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else on that turn.

### Fighting Style
Also starting at 7th level, you gain a fighting style embodying your savagery in battle.

#### Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand or two hands and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

#### Protection
You can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on an attack roll that would hit an allied creature within 5ft of you being targeted by a creature you can see. If the attack hits anyways, you reduce the damage of the attack by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus + your shield AC bonus if you are wielding one.

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

### Ability Score Improvement

Beginning at 9th level, your damage rolls with strength weapons increase by 1d4.

Additionally, when you score a critical hit with a strength attack you roll an additional weapon damage die.

### Path feature
At 10th level, you gain a feature from your Primal Path.

### Relentless Rage
Starting at 11th level, your rage can keep you fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 hit points while you're raging and don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.

Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the DC resets to 10.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 12th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1, or you can take a Feat from the Feat List. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20.

### Improved Barbaric Strength 
Your strength weapon attacks deal an extra 1d8 damage and you roll two additional weapon damage dice when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a strength attack.

### Path feature
At 14th level, you gain a feature from your Primal Path.

### Unstoppable Rage
Beginning at 15th level, when you are raging and fail a saving throw, you can instead choose to succeed. Once you use this feature you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 16th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1, or you can take a Feat from the Feat List. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20.

# Fighter Rework
### Fighter Rework 2.2
*all credit goes to c0re*
___
Reworking fighter to use superiority die baseline has been a very popular talking point amongst the community for quite a while. A friend of mine tweeted the 5e developers and asked them their thoughts, and Mike Mearl's reply was "I think that would've been my preferred approach to the fighter, looking back." and "in fact, initial martial dice design worked that way."
___
My design goals here were to make the fighter have more meaningful and interesting options in combat while giving them a minor buff.
___
My original version of this rework removed action surge and extra attack (3) in exchange for full damage baseline maneuvers. This worked out mathematically, but was found to be pretty unpopular. Turns out, people REALLY like action surge, even when presented with a mathematically superior alternative. 
___
I went back to the drawing board and decided to remove the damage and number of uses from maneuvers, so you can use a maneuver once per turn, every turn. I moved the ability to deal damage with maneuvers to battlemaster.

***All Archetypes from the PHB and XGE are compatible. Use the included modified battlemaster instead of the PHB battlemaster.***

### Fighting Style
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose a fighting style from the list of optional features. You can't take the same Fighting Style option more than once, even if you get to choose again.

You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

#### Defense 
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

### Action Surge
Starting at 2nd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action on top of your regular action and a possible bonus action.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.

\columnbreak

### Combat Superiority
As a 2nd level fighter you learn maneuvers that can be used in combat to control the tides of battle.

**Maneuvers.** You learn three maneuvers of your choice, which are listed in the Fighter Maneuver list. The full list of maneuvers is detailed at the end of the fighter section.

Your Martial Archetype will let you choose from an expanded list of maneuvers when you learn a maneuver, which are listed in the Archetype Maneuver list. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one maneuver per turn.

You learn two additional maneuvers of your choice at 6th, 11th and 14th level. Each time you learn a new maneuver, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one.

**Superiority Dice.** You have three superiority dice, which are d6s. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.
You gain another superiority die each time you reach an archetype feature in this class (7, 10, 15, 18).

**Saving Throws.** Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: 
___
- **Maneuver save DC** = 8 + proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)

##### Fighter Maneuvers
All fighters have access to the following maneuvers: Feinting Attack, Lunging Attack, Parry, Pushing Attack, and Sweeping Attack.

### Martial Archetype
At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate in your combat styles and techniques. The archetype you choose grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 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, or you can take a Feat from the Feat List. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

### Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this class.

    style='position:absolute; width:190px; bottom:40px; left:120px;'>
    
### Indomitable
Starting at 9th level, each time you make a Saving Throw you can roll a 1d4 and add it to the result. This increases to 1d6 starting at 13th level and 1d8 starting at 17th level.

\pagebreakNum

## Martial Archetypes
Different fighters choose different approaches to perfecting their fighting prowess. The martial archetype you choose to emulate reflects your approach.

#### Archetype Maneuvers
This is a list of maneuvers available to fighters of different archetypes. The Fighter Maneuver list is available to all fighters regardless of archetype, and the archetype specific lists are available to fighters who choose that particular archetype at 3rd level. You may choose maneuvers only from the lists you have access to. The maneuvers themselves are detailed at the end of this document.

\pagebreakNum

## Maneuvers

- **Commander's Strike.** When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of your attacks and use a bonus action to direct one of your companions to strike. When you do so, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you and expend one superiority die. That creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack, adding the superiority die to the attack's damage roll.
- **Disarming Attack.** When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of your choice that it's holding. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it drops the object you choose. The object lands at its feet.
- **Distracting Strike.** When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to distract the creature, giving your allies an opening. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll. The next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than you has advantage if the attack is made before the start of your next turn.
- **Evasive Footwork.** When you move, you can expend one superiority die, rolling the die and adding the number rolled to your AC until you stop moving.
- **Feinting Attack.** You can expend one superiority die and use a bonus action on your turn to feint, choosing one creature within 5 feet of you as your target. You have advantage on your next attack roll this turn against that creature. If that attack hits, add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll.
The advantage is lost if not used on the turn you gain it.
- **Goading Attack.** When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to goad the target into attacking you. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on all attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn.
- **Lunging Attack.** When you make a melee weapon attack on your turn, you can expend one superiority die to increase your reach for that attack by 5 feet. If you hit, you add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll.
- **Maneuvering Attack.** When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to maneuver one of your comrades into a more advantageous position. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and you choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you. That creature can use its reaction to move up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks from the target of your attack.
- **Menacing Attack.** When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to frighten the target. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

\columnbreak

- **Parry.** When another creature damages you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend one superiority die to reduce the damage by the number you roll on your superiority die + your proficiency bonus.
- **Precision Attack.** When you make a weapon attack roll against a creature, you can expend one superiority die to add it to the roll. You can use this maneuver before or after making the attack roll, but before any effects of the attack are applied.
- **Pushing Attack.** When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to drive the target back. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you push the target up to 15 feet away from you.
- **Rally.** On your turn, you can use a bonus action and expend one superiority die to bolster the resolve of one of your companions. When you do so, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you. That creature gains temporary hit points equal to the superiority die roll + your proficiency bonus.
- **Riposte.** When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend one superiority die to make a melee weapon attack against the creature. If you hit, you add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll.
- **Sweeping Attack.** When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to damage another creature with the same attack. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll. Choose another creature within 5 feet of the original target and within your reach. If the original attack roll would hit the second creature, it takes damage equal to the number you roll on your superiority die + your ability modifier. The damage is of the same type dealt by the original attack.
- **Trip Attack.** When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to knock the target down. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you knock the target prone.

# Re-Revised Ranger

### Favored Enemy
Beginning at 1st level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy.

Choose a type of favored enemy: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. Alternatively, you can select two races of humanoid (such as gnolls and orcs) as favored enemies. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as advantage on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.

When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your favored enemies, if they speak one at all, in which case you learn a language of choice.

You learn more favored enemies, as well as more effective ways to fight them, as you gain higher  levels in this class.

### Natural Explorer
Starting at 1st level you gain the following benefits:
- You ignore difficult terrain.
- On your first turn in combat, you have Advantage against creatures that have not yet acted.

In addition, you are skilled at navigating the wilderness. You gain the following benefits when traveling for an hour or more:

- Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
- If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
- While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

### Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options: Archery, Defense, Dueling, Mariner, or Two-Weapon Fighting. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

#### Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

#### Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

#### Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand or two hands and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

\columnbreak

#### Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

### Spellcasting
By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid does. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the ranger spell list.

### Spell Slots
The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell animal friendship and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast animal friendship using either slot.

### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the ranger spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Ranger table shows when you learn more ranger spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the ranger spells you know and replace it with another spell from the ranger spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

### Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells, since your magic draws on your attunement to nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a ranger spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

\pagebreakNum

### Ranger Archetype
At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate from the list of available archetypes. Your choice grants features at 3rd level, and again at 7th, 11th, and 15th level.

### Primeval Awareness
Beginning at 3rd level, your mastery of ranger lore allows you to establish a powerful link to beasts and to the land around you.

You have an innate ability to communicate with beasts, and by succeeding on an Animal Handling check, they recognize you as a kindred spirit. Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas to a beast as an action, and can read its basic mood and intent. You learn its emotional state, its short-term needs (such as food or safety), and actions you can take (if any) to persuade it to not attack.

Additionally, you can attune your senses to determine if any of your favored enemies lurk nearby. By expending a Ranger Spell Slot and spending 1 uninterrupted minute in concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you can sense whether any of your favored enemies are present within 1 mile of you. You can sense their general number and direction.

If there are multiple groups of your favored enemies within range, you learn this information for each group.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1, or you can take a Feat from the Feat List. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

### Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

### Natural Explorer Improvement
Starting at 6th level you gain the following benefits:
- You have advantage on initiative rolls.
- Difficult	terrain	doesn’t slow your group’s travel.
- Your group can’t become lost except by magical means.
- When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.

### Favored Enemy Improvement
At 6th level, you choose one additional favored enemy, as well as an associated language. You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls made against your favored enemies.

### Ranger Archetype feature
At 7th level, you gain a feature granted to you by your Ranger Archetype.

\columnbreak

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 8th level you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1, or you can take a Feat from the Feat List. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

### Fleet of Foot
Beginning at 8th level, you can use the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn.

### Steel Will 
Beginning at 9th level you gain Wisdom as a Saving Throw. If you already have Wisdom as a Saving Throw you can choose Intelligence or Charisma instead.

### Hide in Plain Sight
Starting at 10th level, you can remain perfectly still for long periods of time to set up ambushes.

When you start your turn Hidden, you can opt to not move on that turn. If you avoid moving, creatures that attempt to detect you take a -10 penalty to their Wisdom (Perception) checks until the start of your next turn. You lose this benefit if you move or fall prone if you were not prone already, either voluntarily or because of some external effect. You are still automatically detected if any effect or action causes you to no longer be hidden.

If you are still hidden on your next turn, you can continue to remain motionless and gain this benefit until you are detected.

If you attack and hit a creature while you are hidden in this way, you can roll one additional weapon damage die, or two if the creature is a favored enemy.

### Ranger Archetype feature
At 11th level, you gain a feature granted to you by your Ranger Archetype.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 12th level you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1, or you can take a Feat from the Feat List. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

### Evasion
Beginning at 13th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or a lightning bolt spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

### Vanish
Starting at 14th level, you can use the Hide action as a bonus action on your turn. Also, you can't be tracked by nonmagical means, unless you choose to leave a trail.

\pagebreakNum

### Favored Enemy improvement
Also at 14th level, you choose one additional favored enemy, as well as an associated language. You bonus damage against favored enemies increases to +4.

### Ranger Archetype feature

# Warlock

### 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. 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 thunderwave, 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 and 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 (found in chapter 5) as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.

### Otherworldly Patron
At 1st level, you have struck a bargain with an otherworldly being chosen from the list of available patrons. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

### 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. Eldritch invocations do not consume a spell slot.

At 2nd level, you gain four eldritch invocations of your choice. See the Invocations page for the list of available options. When you gain certain warlock levels, you gain additional invocations of your choice.
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.

A level prerequisite in an invocation refers to warlock level, not character level. Invocations never cause you to learn new spells or expend spell slots.

| **Warlock Level** | **Invocations Known** |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  2  | 4 |
|  5  | 6 |
|  10 | 8 |
|  15 | 10|
|  20 | 12|

### 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
You can use your bonus 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 (see chapter 5 for weapon options). You are proficient with it while you wield it. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls, and the weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. Additionally, you can use your Pact Weapon as a spellcasting focus.

When you reach 5th level in this class while wielding this weapon you have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls unless it is a magic weapon that already has a bonus to those rolls. This increases to a +2 bonus when you reach 11th level in this class.

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. 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.

\columnbreak

### Pact of the Chain
You learn the find familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn't count against your number of spells known.

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, crawling claw, flumph, gazer, gray ooze, neogi hatchling, swarm of bats, swarm of insects (any variant), swarm of rats, swarm of ravens, or sprite.

Your familiar can attack on its turn like a normal creature, it adds your proficiency bonus to its damage rolls, and gains temporary hit points at the end of each short or long rest equal to your Warlock level.

### Pact of the Tome
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 cantrips do not need to be from the same spell 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. Any cantrip you cast with this feature is considered a warlock cantrip for you. 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.

### Otherworldly Patron feature
At 6th level, you gain a feature granted by your Otherworldly Patron.

### Otherworldly Patron feature
At 10th level, you gain a feature granted by your Otherworldly Patron.

### Mystic Arcanum (6th level)

You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.

\pagebreakNum

### Mystic Arcanum (7th level)
At 13th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 7th-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.

### Otherworldly Patron feature
At 14th level, you gain a feature granted by your Otherworldly Patron.

### Mystic Arcanum (8th level)
At 15th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 8th-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.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 16th level you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1, or you can take a Feat from the Feat List. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

### Mystic Arcanum (9th level)
At 17th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 9th-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.

### 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.
