Warlock Subclass - Patron: The Fates

Warlock - Patron: The Fates

Your otherworldly patron is actually a trio of ancient beings: the coven of hags known as the Fates. The Fates weave the destinies of all gods and mortals in their magical loom, but whether they manipulate fate or merely record it is unknown. You have sworn yourself into the service of the Fates, and they sometimes reward you with glimpses into the future. However, you know that the Fates are utterly evil—whatever power that your pact affords you may pale in comparison to the ugly fate that they have likely prepared for you.

Expanded Spell List

The Fates let 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.

1st Level: detect evil and good, identify

2nd Level: levitate, see invisibility

3rd Level: clairvoyance, call lightning

4th Level: arcane eye, divination

5th Level: planar binding, geas

Fate’s Bidding

Starting at 1st level, you are expected to consult with the Fates each morning to learn what they have planned for you. You can cast one divination spell without expending a spell slot immediately after completing a short or long rest. If you do so, you gain temporary hit points equal to your warlock level (minimum of 1). You must choose a spell that you could normally cast, and you must have the necessary material components.

Fate’s Foretelling

Starting at 6th level, you can call on the Fates to foretell future events. When you finish a short or long rest, roll 1d20 and record the number you rolled. You can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see with this roll. You must choose to do so before the roll. This foretelling roll can be used only once. When you finish a short or long rest, you lose any unused foretelling rolls.

Fate’s Demands

Starting at 10th level, the weight of your servitude grows heavy, and the burden only lessens when you help another creature meet its fate. Each time you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you regain one expended spell slot. You may use this feature twice, and you regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Inescapable Fate

Starting at 14th level, you learn to accelerate the entropic power of fate. You can use an action to force a creature you can see to make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature is unaware of your presence, then it has disadvantage on the roll. If the creature fails the saving throw, choose another creature that you can see. The first creature is compelled by fate to move toward the second creature for 1 minute.

At the beginning of each of the first creature’s turns, if it is not located within 5 feet of the second creature, then the first creature takes 2d10 psychic damage, and it must use its full movement to move closer to the second creature, dashing if necessary, even if it cannot reach them. This effect ends if you or either of the creatures are reduced to 0 hit points or knocked unconscious. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
