Warlock patron
The Mountain King
You have struck a bargain with a powerful entity of the dark realms beneath ground. This entity might be the spirit of an ancient and powerful dwarven king, an elemental lord of earth or even a mountain which has gained a semblance of sentience. Regardless of their identity, your patron is a lumbering, unstoppable force of sheer might and will. Serving as their extension, you similarly become resilient and unyielding, both physically and mentally.

Volatile Core
At 6th level, your beard grows even more illustrious. Your beard now functions as a shield for you, granting you +2 AC. You still benefit from your Stoneborn gift while you have this shield. You can still only benefit from one shield at any time.
Additionally, when a creature takes damage as part of your Unbreakable Mantle, their walking speed is reduced by 10 feet if they took cold damage, or their next attack before the end of their turn has disadvantage if they took fire damage
Tempered Shell
