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

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.

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.

Cuirassier Mimic

Hand-crafted by an aberrant soul, the first mimic of this breed was given to the creature's loyal bodyguard to provide both protection... and a second bodyguard as it were. The monstrosity performed exceptionally well, especially when heroes slew the fellow wearing it and the mimic kept the bottom fighting. Thus the cuirassier mimic was passed to the next right-hand-mook, and so on as its bearers passed. This lead to a legend of an immortal servant when in truth, it was just the armor all along. Eventually, its creator was killed, the mimic 'looted', and its spore spread across the realm.

Entry Mimic

This particular strain of mimics was carefully cultivated into being by a drow matron sick of uninvited guests - both of the adventurer and political rival variety. Resistant to pesky bypassing magic and capable of alerting a building's occupants (and other mimics) of interlopers, entry mimics became all the rage... well, until they started eating honored guests and the occasional house pet. The matron quickly lost favor and stepped through one door never to return... as it were.

Soot Foot

Prior to Death claiming the Kingdom, the zombie dubbed Soot Foot was just another of the faceless masses. While he was a chimney sweep of notable skill, no one noted the ash-smeared lad. Surely, he could have made some money it a sideshow with his double-jointed talents but he preferred the quiet life. He perished in the middle of a job, his already pliant joints tearing into compound fractures as he scrambled to find the flesh of the living. The toxins soaked into his rotting skin give him a unique virality that leaves fiery undead in his weak and he never leaves the cinder of his chimney lairs far behind. -Records of the Charnel House Soot Foot Medium undead (zombie), chaotic evil Armor Class 8 Hit Points 45 (6d8 + 18) Speed 20ft Climb 20ft Str 16 Dex 6 Con 16 Int 3 Wis 8 Cha 5 Skills Stealth +2 Damage Resistances fire Condition Immunities exhaustion, poisoned
