Defender of the Realms
At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to protect yourself in battle. You gain proficiency with shields.
The influence of your patron also allows you to channel your will into your ability to defend yourself. While you are not wearing any armor, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
Warden's Bulwark
At 1st level, your patron grants you the ability to provide supernatural protection to those you defend.
When another creature you can see within 60 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to surround that creature in a momentary corona of light and reduce that damage by 1d8 + your Charisma modifier (increasing to 2d8 at 6th, 3d8 at 10th, and 4d8 at 14th level of this class).
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). You regain all expended uses of this ability once you finish a short or long rest.
Archonian Aegis
Starting at 6th level, you gain the ability to envelop another being with a shimmering shield of light. As an action, choose a creature within 60 feet of you. The creature is shielded for 1 minute.
Until the shield ends, the target gains a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws (increasing to +2 at 10th, and +3 at 14th level of this class). The creature also gains temporary hit points equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier. Any temporary hit points remaining are lost when the shield ends for any reason. The shield ends early if the target dies, if you die, or if you are incapacitated.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Stalwart Sentinel
At 10th level, your patron imbues you with power to better stand guard and remain steadfast. You are immune to being frightened. You can also see invisible creatures, and perceive illusions within 30 feet.
Sound the Trumpets
At 14th level, as an action, choose a point within 60 feet of you. Each creature of your choice within a 20-foot radius from that point takes thunder damage equal to 2d8 + your Charisma modifier and is deafened for 1 round.
Immediately afterwards, a hammer archon appears in the closest unoccupied space to the specified point, and fights for you for 1 minute. The hammer archon is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the hammer archon, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you), as long as they don’t violate its alignment. If you don’t issue any commands to the archon, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions. The hammer archon disappears after one minute, or if it reaches 0 hit points.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Pact Boon
At 3rd level, a warlock gains the Pact Boon feature. Here are new options for that feature, in addition to the options in the Player's Handbook..
Pact of the Shield
Your pact with your patron allows you to manifest a mystical shield of force. The shield’s appearance is up to the summoner. It can be summoned or dismissed as an action, and floats near you, defending you as if you were wielding a shield.
You can use the shield to aid another. When a creature you can see, attacks another creature within 60 feet of you, you can use your reaction to cause the shield to momentarily appear between the attacker and its target, imposing disadvantage on the attack roll.
Eldritch Invocations
At 2nd level, a warlock gains the Eldritch Invocations feature. Here are new options for that feature, in addition to the options in the Player's Handbook and Xanthar's Guide to Everything. If an eldritch invocation has a prerequisite, you must meet it to learn the invocation. You can learn the invocation at the same time that you meet its prerequisite. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

Prerequisite: 5th level
You can cast prayer of healing once using a warlock spell slot. You regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Bulkwark of Law
You can cast protection from evil and good once without expending a spell slot or material components. You regain the ability to do so after a short or long rest.
Crenelations of Lunia
You summon a magical battlement of glistening white stone. It appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 60 feet of you. The battlement is 15 feet long, 5 feet high, 1 foot thick, and has gaps from half way up every few feet. It provides half cover to those behind it. The battlement disappears after 1 minute.
Once you use this invocation, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Dawnbreak
Prerequisite: 7th level
The Heavens open up above you and fill a 60-foot cylinder, centered on you, with daylight for 1 minute.
All magical darkness in the area is dispelled. For the duration of the effect, undead cannot be animated, fiends cannot be summoned, and magical darkness cannot be created within the area. A fiend or undead with a CR no greater than half your warlock level, that enters the area on a turn for the first time or starts its turn there, must make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC.
On a failure, the creature takes radiant damage equal to 1d6 + your Charisma modifier, and must use its full movement and the Dash action to try to move out of the area, or use its action to get out of an effect that prevents it from moving. Each round, at the start of its turn, it can attempt
a new saving throw to negate the effects, but must do so
each round it remains in the area. A success prevents it
from suffering the negative effects of the zone until the
start of its next turn.
Once you use this invocation, you can't use it again
until you finish a long rest.

provides you with a +1 bonus to
saving throws.
Intervene
Prerequisite: 7th level

When a creature you can see within 60 feet is about to take damage, you can use your reaction to teleport yourself to its location. The creature disappears, and reappears in your previous location. The attack or spell that was going to damage the creature now affects you instead. Use your AC to determine if the attack succeeds.
