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.

Frame Mimic

Rattling from the shadows, a gaggle of rat-gnawed bones march forward eager to slay the living. One of them lags behind, looking a bit more solid than the rest. You know your mace should have broken the leading skeletons to pieces. Yet, it merely cracked bones instead of shattering them. Tentacles lash out from the slower skeleton, adhering to you and pulling you closer to the maw manifesting from its ribcage. This is the frame mimic. The spawn of the ossuary mimic, this monstrosity also feels a kinship to the undead - specifically animated skeletons. It adopts a group of such horrors and its very presence temporarily empowers them. This is why the skeletons keep it around instead of hacking it to pieces as they would any other living thing. On top of that, frame mimics develop a supernatural stubbornness that can only be called boneheaded. So powerful is this force of will, that it mends their wounds as they plough forward against deadly spells. Frame Mimic Medium Monstrosit...

Brocade Mimic

The masked bard in gaudy attire was strumming away when the bar fight started. It kept playing even as chairs broke and mugs flew. Not one strum was missed even when blood was spilled. Then someone grew sick of the racket and stuck a hand ax into the bard's neck...with a wooden thunk. The fancy vest exploded with teeth, tentacles, and eyes. Then there was the color spray... The first brocade mimic lurked in the rafters of a bard college. Instead of eating a future player, it learned alongside them and caught a passion for the arts. Of course, it could have become an instrument but that wasn't quite grand enough. The mimic became a set of fancy clothes and was worn out the front doors. Sometimes it and its spawn become a bard's best friend. sometimes it pilots a dead one around for a bit, and other times it takes over a mannequin to strike out on its own. No matter how, the show must always go on. Brocade Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral ...

Yoke Mimic

Something tore apart the bandits you've been tracking, but it's not obvious what chewed and in some cases melted them. Maybe there's a wyrmling in the area? Either way, all that remains alive in the camp is a pair of oxen burdened by their cart. Though, they are quite nonplussed given the violence that must have occurred around them. Surely these simple beasts couldn't be the case of the carnage, could they? As you ponder this, the oxen start plodding away, pulling the cart of goods with them. Trying to stop them was the logical thing to do... their yoke coming undone with twin, yawning mouths not so logical. You know what that means... initiative rolls, please. Relatively benign, for a mimic, the yoke mimic was cultivated by an industrious farmer. They didn't see the point of wasting an animal that came into their care, even a strange monstrosity such as this one. It became a valuable tool not only to get fields plowed, but also kept the animals attached to it d...
