Path of Madness

There are bizarre things in realms beyond mortal understanding; merely to come into contact with traces of such things can break the mind. Yet, there is strength to draw from such insanity. Such unfortunate beings are usually grouped beneath the title of "madman," but such madmen claim otherwise: they merely see the truth more clearly.

Sacrifice Domain

Most gods require offerings to them of animals, certain rituals, or heroic actions. Your god is a god of sacrifice, and you are the offering. You have been taught the virtue of giving up yourself for your god and for others. When others should experience pain, destruction, even death, you stand in the way of that tragedy and suffer it for them. Gods of Sacrifice can vary widely in personality and alignment, from the cruel Crom Cruach and merciless Odin to more benevolent figures like Osiris.

Threshold Domain Spells

Bonus Proficiencies

When you select this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency in heavy armour and martial weapons.

On the Threshold

At 1st level, you can protect others from the final end that you know so well. You know the cantrip spare the dying, and it does not count against the number of cantrips you know. Also, the range of spare the dying increases to 10 feet.

Channel Divinity: Safe Travels

At 2nd level, whenever a creature within 60 feet of you dies, you can immediately use your Channel Divinity as a reaction to ensure the safe journey of the creature to the afterlife. The corpse of a creature aided in this way cannot be turned into an undead. Additionally, you and all creatures you choose within 30 feet of you regain hit points equal to your level, and act as if the spell lesser restoration was cast on them.

Not Yet Your Time

Beginning at 6th level, you can protect those who die earlier than their ordained time. As a reaction when a creature you can see within 60 feet of you drops to 0 hit points, you can grant them hit points equal to 2d4 + your Wisdom modifier, bringing them back from the brink. You can do this a number of times up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) per long rest.

Divine Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the damage increases to 2d8.

All Things Come to an End

At 17th level, you can give the living a glimpse of what is to come. You can use an action to touch a creature within 5 feet of you. Choose whether you wish to ease their spirit or to frighten it. A creature whose spirit you wish to ease glimpses their eventual death and feels the peace of passing on, the tribulations and fears of life washing away in death. The creature regains 10d8 hit points, and hit points that surpass its hit point maximum become temporary hit points that last until the creature's next long rest. The creature is cured of any diseases, purged of curses, and freed from the charmed and frightened conditions and made immune to those conditions for 1 hour.

If you choose to frighten a creature's spirit, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your cleric spell save DC. On a failure, the creature feels the despair of ending, of all its accomplishments being torn apart by implacable time, the slow forgetting of it by its loved ones, until its very name is lost forever. The creature is turned into a gibbering mess by terror, and functions as if stunned for 1 hour. The creature can make the saving throw again at the end of a 10-minute segment, ending the effect on a success. Also, if the creature takes any damage, it can make the saving throw again with advantage, ending the effect on a success.

Once you use this ability, it cannot be used again until you finish a long rest.

Five Rings Archetype

Renowned across Not-Japan as an unparalleled warrior, Miyamoto Musashi's legacy is enshrined in the teachings he left to his disciples: a way of the warrior known as the Five Rings, or alternatively the Five Realms or Elements. This teaching invokes the five elements of Ice, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Void to produce the ultimate warrior.

Empty Vessel

A strange being in white crafted you, or rebuilt you, though for what purpose you are not entirely sure. This world you reside in is strange to your eyes; perhaps you belong somewhere else or your memories were scraped from your mind. Whatever it may be, you find yourself with inborn abilities that make you a deadly enemy.

Demigod Origin

Your father or mother could claim some semblance of divinity, whether they were a powerful nature spirit or a bona fide deity. Their blood now flows in your veins, granting you power like their own. Sometimes, these gods choose to employ their children as champions, but other times they are willing to let the demigods make their own way in the world. Regardless, the eyes of the supernatural tend to follow your movements.

Sword Sorcerer Quirks

Sword Sorcerer Bonus Spells

You gain the following spells at the listed sorcerer level. These spells do not count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.

Faker

At 1st level, you can memorize the appearance of a weapon and magically manifest an almost identical copy of that weapon. You must spend 10 uninterrupted minutes analyzing a weapon before it can be copied in this way. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend a spell slot to recreate a nonmagical weapon you have analyzed in this fashion. So long as that weapon deals slashing damage, you are considered proficient with it. You may dismiss this summoned weapon as a free action, causing it to blink out of existence. These copies disappear after a number of minutes equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).

You can even use higher level spell slots to create copies of magical weapons that you have lodged in your memory. However, these copies are weaker than their originals in a way determined by the DM (for instance, the weapon might have only half of its available charges or has a +1 rather than a +2 bonus). You can create magic weapons of the common and uncommon rarities using 2nd level spell slots, the rare rarity using 3rd level spell slots, the very rare rarity using 4th level spell slots, and the legendary rarity using 5th level spell slots. Artifacts cannot be replicated. You are automatically attuned to a weapon you manifest that requires attunement if you meet the other attunement prerequisites. Maximum attunement rules still apply.

Made of Swords

Also at 1st level, though the outside of you looks normal, enemies find you unusually durable. When you aren’t wearing armour, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armour to determine your AC if the armour you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield’s benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armour.

Wielder of Blades

Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, when taking the Attack action on your turn.

Forgery

Also at 6th level, your natural inclination for blades has given you insight into how to make them normally as well. You gain proficiency with blacksmithing tools, and you double your proficiency bonus when making an ability check with these tools.

High-Speed Analysis

Beginning at 14th level, your ability to comprehend the structural makeup of weapons has increased phenomenally. You can now lodge a weapon in your memory as an Action, rather than needing 10 minutes. Your DM may decide that some weapons' makeup is too complex or magical for this (such as for legendary or artifact weapons), and as such will still require the 10 minutes of study.

Double-Edged

Also at 14th level, whenever you are hit with a melee attack that deals slashing damage, you can use your reaction to deal force damage to the attacker. The damage equals your sorcerer level.

Chibithulhu

There are horrid monsters beyond the realm of mortal ken whose very existence is antithetical to reality, whose malevolent wishes or apathetic dreams spell the doom of those who encounter them. And then there are those creatures who really want to be like that, but because they are naturally too kind, too playful, or too incompetent, they end up being more amusing than anything. Chibithulhu is one such creature.

Expanded Spell List

The King of Magic lets 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.

Origin of Arcana

At 1st level, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill and learn one cantrip of your choice from the wizard spell list. This counts as a warlock spell for you.

Master of the Mystical

Also at 1st level, you can use an action to switch one warlock spell you know with another warlock spell for which you have spell slots. You must finish a long rest before using this feature again.

Spell Seal

Starting at 6th level, you can use a bonus action to restrict a creature's connection to magic. You can force one creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, the creature is unable to cast spells until the end of your next turn. Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Beginning at 10th level, this ability also seals magical abilities and attacks, such as a Nightwalker's Finger of Doom ability.

Shield of Arcana

Beginning at 10th level, you can siphon off magical energy from your enemies' spells. Whenever you are affected by a spell, you can use your reaction to gain a number of spell slots equal to the spell slot level of the spell that affected you. These spell slots are separate from your warlock spell slots and vanish when you take a short or long rest. You can cast spells as normal using these spell slots, but you can decide whether or not to use all of them at once. For instance, if you have three spell slots of energy, you can cast a spell at 1st level, leaving two spell slots of energy, or you can cast it at 3rd level, using up all of the spell slots. You cannot absorb the energy of a spell that is 6th level or higher. Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before doing so again.

Chaldaea Omnium

At 14th level, you can choose to focus some of the observatory's attention on one creature. Choose a creature within 100 feet of you that you can see. That creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be affected by this ability. A creature can choose to fail the saving throw.

You always know the direction to and distance from the affected creature and what plane of existence it is on, and are aware of its general wellbeing, such as any illnesses or curses affecting it and whether it is above or below half its maximum hit points. Additionally, you can use an action to force the creature to make a Charisma saving throw, allowing you to see through its eyes for 1 minute on a failure; the creature can choose to fail the saving throw. The creature does not know you did this if they fail the saving throw. Once you use this aspect of this feature, you must finish a long rest before doing so again.

Once per month, you can use an action to teleport yourself to the creature, appearing in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of them.

You can have only one creature under the effect of this feature at a time. You can choose to end this increased observation as an action. The creature can make the saving throw again at the end of each month, ending the effect on a success.

All Laid Bare

Prerequisite: King of Magic patron, 5th level

You can cast the spell see invisibility at will.

Arcane Secrets

Prerequisite: King of Magic patron, Pact of the Tome feature

Whenever you witness another creature cast a spell, you can use your reaction to inscribe the spell in your tome, and can cast it once using a warlock spell slot, so long as the spell is at a level for which you have spell slots. You may only have one spell so inscribed at a time.

Lord of Magic

Prerequisite: King of Magic patron, 7th level

You can cast the spells counterspell and dispel magic once each per long rest at their lowest spell level without expending a spell slot.

Researcher's Aid

Prerequisite: King of Magic patron, Pact of the Chain feature

When you have an arcanon as your familiar, it gains additional maximum hit points equal to your current warlock level. Once per day, the arcanon can cast the spell invisibility on itself, and so long as you are touching it, you are also affected by the spell.

King's Proclamation

Prerequisite: King of Magic patron, 15th level

You can cast spells and use magic items as normal in an anti-magic zone, such as in a Beholder's gaze or the antimagic field spell.

Arcanon

Arcanons were once normal animals, but were granted both greater intelligence and arcane curiosity due to an accident in one of the King's earliest magical experiments. These many ages later, arcanons still have an inkling of servitude to their creator, and so the King often employs them as familiars for his servants. They can occasionally be found in the company of normal wizards, as they are kindred spirits, and arcanons seem to possess an uncanny insight into the function of magic.

Arcanons themselves are fluffy, quadrupedal creatures about the size of a cat. Their eyes are always bright in colour, and sparkle with unending curiosity and a simple happiness in the discovery of new things.

Expanded Spell List

The Mother of Monsters lets 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.

A Mother's Love

At 1st level, the power of your spells has been blessed with the influence of your patron. Spells that refer to beasts (such as animal friendship and conjure animals) now can also affect or use monstrosities, but otherwise follow the original parameters of the spell.

Mother's Favourite

Starting at 6th level, you are specially privileged because of your connection to Echidna. When a monstrosity attacks you, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature must choose a different target, or the attack automatically misses. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours. The creature is aware of this effect before it makes its attack against you.

Thick Hide

At 10th level, your skin starts to become like a creature your patron would spawn. If you are not wearing armour, your AC is equal to 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

Myriad Monstrosities

At 14th level, you can take on the many forms of Echidna's offspring. As an action, you can transform into a monstrosity of a CR equal to your level or lower. This ability functions as per the Wild Shape feature from the Druid class, but only lasts for 10 minutes or until you revert as a bonus action. You turn into an average example of the monstrosity, one without any class levels or the Spellcasting trait. Additionally, you can still cast your Warlock spells while in this form. Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before doing so again.

Blessed Spawn

Prerequisite: Mother of Monsters patron, Pact of the Chain feature

When you have a minor chimaera as your familiar, it gains additional hit points equal to your warlock level. Also, you are able to mold its form. At the end of each long rest, choose one of the following mutations to occur to your familiar.

Additional Appendage. Your familiar gains another limb or a damaging tail which deals 1d4 + Strength modifier of the appropriate damage type. It gains the Multiattack feature, able to make one attack with this appendage and a second with its claws.

Breath Weapon. Your familiar gains a breath weapon Action that shoots a damaging substance in a line 5 feet wide and 30 feet long. Creatures in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw against your warlock spell save DC or take 3d6 acid, fire, lightning, or poison damage, as appropriate. This ability has a Recharge of 6.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest to do so again.

Monstrous Appendage

Prerequisite: Mother of Monsters patron, Pact of the Blade feature

You can mutate a part of your body into a weapon using your Pact of the Blade feature. This may mean that you grow a tail with a poisonous barb, or that you transform your arm into a scything claw. The weapon type and damage type is appropriate for the appendage. You can make an attack with this appendage immediately after casting a spell using a warlock spell slot.

Spawn of the Spawn

Prerequisite: Mother of Monsters patron, 5th level

You can spawn a mutant offspring from your body. This functions as if you had cast the tiny servant spell. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier per long rest.

Minor Chimaera

A mutant mass of body parts, this creature is one of the many cast-off brood of the Mother of Monsters. No two minor chimaera are alike, each a different amalgamation of monstrous intent. Though intelligent for a monster, they are best used as weapons, and some have even been known to turn on their masters if the master grows too weak.

Expanded Spell List

The Radiant One lets 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.

Amongst the Stars

At 1st level, you can emit a 30-foot long and 5-foot wide line of searing light as an action. Creatures within the line must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your Warlock spell save DC or take 2d8 radiant damage and be blinded until the end of your next turn. On a successful saving throw, a creature takes half damage and is not blinded. This damage increases to 3d8 at 3rd level, 5d8 at 6th level, 7d8 at 11th level, 8d8 at 15th level, 9d8 at 17th level, and 10d8 at 19th level. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.

Additionally, so long as you can see the night sky, you cannot become lost.

Nova

Starting at 6th level, you manifest the light of the distant stars in response to harm. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to flare with blinding light. All creatures within 10 feet of you that can see you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your Warlock spell save DC or be blinded for 1 minute.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Traveler of the Void

Starting at 10th level, you no longer require air, food, drink, or sleep. To gain the benefits of a long rest, you can spend the rest doing light activity, such as reading or keeping watch. Additionally, you gain resistance to cold damage.

Beyond the Wall of Sleep

At 14th level, you have learned how to transcend your physical form entirely, taking on the radiant body you possess in your dreams. As an action, you can transform into a cosmic elemental, detailed at the end of this class description.

Each creature in the line excluding you and the target must make a Dexterity saving against your warlock spell save DC, taking 3d6 radiant damage on a failure and half as much damage on a success.

You must finish a long rest before using this aspect of this feature again.

Nightmares

Prerequisite: Radiant One patron, Pact of the Tome feature

You gain advantage on Intimidation and Insight checks against a creature whose fears you have written in your tome.

Truths Beyond Reality

Prerequisite: Radiant One patron, Pact of the Chain feature

When you have a starshard as your familiar, it gains additional hit points equal to your warlock level. Whenever you are within 5 feet of it, you have truesight out to 5 feet.

Starshard

This starshard is a small, gently glowing crystal. The light the shard gives off is neither comforting nor harsh, but peculiar, and not of any colour known to the material plane. What precisely it is, whether a fragment of a star, a manifestation of your radiant self, or simply a companion to help guide you, not even you know.

Expanded Spell List

The Eternity Collective lets 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.

Ego

At 1st level, you can become a telepathic hub for nearby creatures. As an action, choose a number of willing creatures up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).

Once this connection ends, you cannot use this ability again until you finish a long rest.

Psychic Scramble

Starting at 6th level, you can emit a blast of chaotic psychic energy into the mind of a creature to confuse it. Whenever a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a failure, the creature has disadvantage on the attack or saving throw.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Mental Fortitude

Weapon Proficiency. You gain proficiency in one simple or martial weapon of your choice.

Armour Proficiency. You gain proficiency in medium or heavy armour; your choice.

Primal Intellect Devourer

The intellect devourers forged by the Eternity Collective are special, for they not only possess the body stealing ability of their lesser kin, but even have some access to the psionic power of the Elder Brain. This communicates itself both in their inability to be swayed from their master's purpose by magic, but also innate psionic talents. However, as they are some of the first intellect devourers, their ability to steal bodies is not as long-lasting as their later kin.

Expanded Spell List

The Stormstalker lets 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.

Seafarer

At 1st level, you know how to ply the waves. You are proficient with water vehicles. Additionally, you are proficient in the Survival skill.

You must finish a long rest before using this feature again.

Tales of Adventure

Prerequisite: Stormstalker patron, Pact of the Tome feature

Recorded in your tome are tales of the Stormstalker, the stories eventually shifting into new ones, providing endless variety. You can read these tales both to entertain and to gather information. If you wish to gather information about a locale you have not visited before, roll a d100. On a 91-100, a tale from the Stormstalker informs you about basic information there, though the time period likely does not correspond to your own. You must finish a short or long rest before using this part of the feature again.

You can also read off the tales to cheer up your comrades. Once per long rest, you can choose for yourself and creatures within 20 feet of you who can hear you to receive temporary hit points equal to twice your Charisma modifier (minimum of 2) until you finish your next long rest.

St. Elmo's Firewisp

Named for one of the crew of the Stormstalker, a priest who had a habit of adopting every weird creature they came across. These firewisps flicker back and forth between various colours, usually blue, purple, and orange. They were known for being guides in the night, and so were viewed as a good omen, showing up to provide direction when all seemed lost.
