Patron: Ancient Giant
\pagebreak ## Ancient Giant Your patron was a queen or king of ancient Ostoria, the birthplace of giants. In return for being granted their unshakeable might, you are charged with restoring their lost realm to its original splendor. ### Pact Spells The Ancient Giant 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.
##### Ancient Giant Pact Spells | Level | Spells | |:---:|:---:|:---|:---:| | 1st | Earth Tremor, Giant's Endurance | Something | — | | 2nd | Exploding Boulder, Hurling Smite| | — | | 3rd| Crushing Blow, Stone-Splitting Shout | 4th | Ostorian Fury, Staggering Smite| ─ | | 5th | Castle-Shattering Smash, Toppling Wave| ─ | ─ |
### Muscle Magic Your patron values physical might above all. Starting at 1st level, Strength, not Charisma, is your warlock spellcasting ability. You can also speak, read, and write Giant. ### Unclad Glory Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier and you don't need material components without a gp value to cast warlock spells. ### Giant Form At 1st level, your patron bestows upon you the power to dramatically increase in size. As a bonus action, you can adopt a giant form. This gives you the following benefits for 1 minute. - If you are smaller than Large, you become Large, along with everything that you are wearing and carrying except weapons. Your weight multiplies by eight for each size that you increase by. If you lack the room to become Large, your size doesn’t change. - You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws except for those made as part of casting a spell. - Your unarmed strikes deal bludgeoning damage equal to 2d4 + your Strength modifier.
You can use this feature twice, and you regain any expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. \columnbreak ### Ostorian Hardiness At 6th level, you gain proficiency in Constitution saving throws and add your proficiency bonus to Constitution checks.
In addition, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage. ### Strength Aura Starting at 10th level, you radiate pure power. You and friendly creatures within 30 feet of you gain a bonus to Strength checks and Strength saving throws equal to half your proficiency bonus rounded down. The aura persists even if you are unconscious or dead, so the graves of warlocks with this pact are sacred rallying points.
In addition, when you gain this feature, roll 3d4. You grow a number of inches in height equal to the roll. ### True Giant Form Beginning at 14th level, you can rival even the greatest giants in size. When you adopt a giant form, you can become size Huge if there is sufficient room. When you are Huge, you gain the following benefits in addition to those from your Giant Form feature. - Your unarmed strikes deal bludgeoning damage equal to 3d4 + your Strength modifier. - Your reach increases to 10 feet.
While you are Huge, you can spend a bonus action to become Large, and vice-versa.
