Warlock Patron: The Embalmed




You have made a pact with an ancient mummy that while forever entombed beneath sun-scorched sand or impenetrable jungle, can reach out from its sepulcher to influence the living. Perhaps the undead horror was once a powerful sorcerer-king, high priestess of an extinct civilization, or the last remnant of a lost, terrible race. Its agenda and goals match a forgotten age and the mummy's capricious whims. Often the warlock is tasked with recovering artifacts tied to the sarcophagus-trapped horror or its civilization. Some mummies seek to futilely seek to be released from their prison, while others just want to be remembered as a figure of glory and power.

Expanded Spell List The Embalmed lets you choose from an expanded list of Spells when you learn a Warlock spell. The following Spells are added to Warlock spells list for you.

1st - Inflict Wounds, Ray of Sickness

2nd - Animal Messenger, Dust Devil

3rd - Bestow Curse, Vampiric Touch

4th - Giant Insect, Phantasmal Killer

5th - Contagion, Insect Plague

Dreadful Glare Starting at 1st level, as a bonus action you can fix a foe within 60ft with a dreadful glare. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your Warlock spell DC or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. If the creature fails this save by 5 or more it is paralyzed for this duration as well.

Mistress of Those that Crawl Starting at 6th level, as an action you may summon an insect swarm that functions as if it has been summoned by the Find Familiar spell. However, you cannot dismiss and recall it at will from a pocket dimension. If the insect swarm is destroyed you cannot summon another swarm until completing a short or long rest. You cannot summon more than one insect swarm at a time.

Blessed of the Tomb Starting at the 10th level, you gain resistance to necrotic and poison damage. You become immune to the poisoned condition.

Curse of the Sepulcher Starting at 14th level, your attacks gain a whiff of accursed rot. Creatures hit by your attacks cannot regain hit points until the start of your next turn. As a bonus action, you may deal 3d10 necrotic damage to all creatures currently effected by your accursed rot. You may not deal damage with this feature again until you complete a short or long rest.

Netting Mimic

This particular mimic species has a rather unique origin. As polyps the first batch was caught in a giant spider's web soon after being spawned. Rather than being devoured by the arachnid, they turned into sticky strands amid the webwork. Not long after that, a group of adventurers slew said spider and moved on. The mimics had something to subsist on and kept their disguise to keep more bugs. When the spider's eggs hatched, instead of eating the young, the mimics were amused by the creatures and they protected them until they were large enough until to ride off to better climes. Eventually, these mimics took the shape of netting of all sorts: ship rigging, cargo nets, and so on as they were less conspicuous than spider webs. They still remain friends with things eight-legged. Netting Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 13 (natural armor) 52 (8d8 + 16) Speed 15 ft Climb ...

Gears

Gears can't remember if he was a dwarven hero or a condemned criminal. Either way, he is more cogwork than flesh now and driven to mete out justice with his metal fists. He was first deployed during an intense goblin invasion of a dwarven stronghold. Initially he served as something between a shocktroop and a living weapon, but this cigar chopping 'cyborg' inspired the dwarven defenders fighting along side of him to the point that he became a mascot, then a leader. More times than one could count, he should have gone down under a barrage of attacks only to plow forward losing more flesh and blood later replaced with mithril and steel. Eventually, Gears lost every last dwarf he fought along side and just kept killing goblins whenever he could until the fortress housed him alone. Now he wanders the world, making things right the best he can one punch at a time. Gears Medium construct (dwarf), chaotic good Armor Class 12 (natural armor) ...

Piecemeal

Eveyrone should be free to live as they want and die as terribly as they can. This is the creed that the strange collection of bodyparts known as Piecemeal holds. Originally, it was a trio of kobolds who attempted a 'ritual' of their own design meant to grant immortality. Instead, it tore the three creatures into pieces that forgot how to die. The mass went quite mad and seeks to free other body parts from the 'bondage' of well, being part of a body. Travelling as three kobolds in a trenchcoat, Piecemeal wages a brutal war against 'slave owners' (IE anything with a body) and adds new parts to its collectiona as needed to keep the revolution going. Over time little of the kobolds remain, but it still rambles about in a trenchcoat spouting its made philosophy. Piecemeal Medium swarm of tiny undead creatures, chaotic neutral Armor Class 11 136 (16d8 + 64) Speed 30 ft Climb 20 ft ...
