Eldritch Invocations

Eldritch Gift Invocation

You learn to readily assault foes with eldritch energy. Choose two options from below, which you can magically invoke as an action. Each targets a single creature within its range, and requires Verbal and Material spell components. You must see a creature to impose a saving throw on it.

At Warlock level 5, 11 and 17, when you take this action you can choose one additional effect (for two, three and finally four attacks or saving throws). These can target the same creature or another in range, and you can combine different effects that you know.

Additionally, if you use a Warlock spell slot to cast a spell, you can lower the level of the spell slot to fuel your gift. On the same turn as you cast a spell, either before or after, you can use a Bonus Action to invoke one gift effect for every two levels lower the spell was cast at compared to the slot used. For instance, if you cast Hypnotic Pattern with a level 5 pact slot, you could Repelling Blast someone into the area.

You can take this invocation multiple times, selecting two options each time. When you finish a long rest.

• Repelling Blast: 120 feet ranged spell attack for 1d10 + spellcasting modifier Force damage. If you hit a Large or smaller creature, you can push that creature up to 10 feet straight away from you.
• Seeking Bolt: 90 feet ranged spell attack for 1d6 + spellcasting modifier Lightning damage, or half as much on a miss.
• Blight Rend: 5 feet melee spell attack for 1d12 + spellcasting modifier Necrotic damage. On a hit, the next attack against the target has advantage.
• Reaching Tendril: 60 feet melee spell attack for 1d8 + spellcasting modifier Acid damage. On a hit, you can pull yourself 15 feet towards the target without provoking opportunity attacks. You can make the attack automatically hit and deal no damage if the creature is willing, or if you attack an object.
• Fiendish Ire: 120 feet Dexterity save for 1d6 + spellcasting modifier Fire damage. If you take damage before the start of your next turn and the target failed their save, they take the damage again and the effect ends.
• Dire Radiance: 60 feet Constitution save for 1d8 + spellcasting modifier Radiant damage. If the creature willingly moves before the end of your next turn, it takes the damage again and the effect ends.
• Bewitching Glare: 60 feet Wisdom save for 1d6 + spellcasting modifier Psychic damage. You are invisible to creatures that fail this save until the start of your next turn.
• Cantrip: Choose a Warlock cantrip that deals damage to learn, or any cantrip you already know, and use its range and effects with this trait. When used with this trait it doesn't get the normal cantrip scaling, but you can add your spellcasting ability modifier to one of its damage rolls. You can pick this multiple times.

Pact of the Chain

Prerequisite: Warlock Level 3+

You learn the Find Familiar spell and can cast it as an action without expending a spell slot.

When you cast the spell, you choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of the following special forms: imp, pseudodragon, quasit, or sprite.

Additionally, when you use Eldritch Gift, you can replace one effect to let your familiar make an attack as a Reaction.

Voice of the Chain Master

Prerequisite: Pact of the Chain

Sharing senses and telepathic communication with your familiar only requires that you are on the same plane of existence, and can be started or maintained as a bonus action.

Additionally, while perceiving through your familiar's senses, you can speak through it in your own voice.

Investment of the Chain Master

Prerequisite: Warlock Level 5+, Pact of the Chain

When you cast Find Familiar, you infuse the summoned familiar with a measure of your eldritch power, granting the creature the following benefits:

Attack. The familiar can take the Attack action on its turns.

Your Bonuses. If the familiar attacks or forces a creature to make a saving throw, it uses your spell attack bonus and spell save DC.

Necrotic or Radiant Damage. Whenever the familiar deals Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage, you can make it deal Necrotic or Radiant damage instead.

Protection. When the familiar takes damage, you can use your Reaction to cause it to take no damage, and you take half the damage.

Pact of the Tome

Prerequisite: Warlock Level 3+

Stitching together strands of shadow, you conjure forth a book in your hand at the end of a Short Rest or Long Rest. This Book of Shadows (you determine its appearance) contains eldritch magic that only you can access, granting you the following benefits:

Cantrips and Rituals. When the book appears, choose three cantrips, and choose two level 1 spells that have the Ritual tag.

The spells can be from any class’s spell list, and they must be spells you don’t already have prepared. While the book is on your person, you have the chosen spells prepared, and they function as Warlock spells for you.

Spellcasting Focus. You can use the book as a Spellcasting Focus.

The book disappears if you conjure another book with this feature or if you die.

Gift of the Protectors

Prerequisite: Pact of the Tome

A new page appears in your Book of Shadows when you conjure it. With your permission, a creature can use its action to write its name on that page, which can contain up to 10 names. You can erase a name on the page by using an action and touching it.

When any creature whose name is on the page is reduced to 0 Hit Points but not killed outright, the creature magically drops to 1 Hit Point instead. Once this magic is triggered, no creature can benefit from it until you finish a Long Rest.

Glimpse of Insight
