The IRS Patron
You have found employment with the Internal Revenue Service, the patron agency responsible for your government’s revenue intake. You may be an active field auditor, serving agency’s eyes and ears, or a reluctant arcane accountant thrust into action. With the gifts of the IRS, you scour your domain in search of violators of financial crimes.
Expanded Spell List
The IRS 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.
The IRS Expanded Spells
| Spell Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 1st | Command, Hunter’s Mark |
| 2nd | Hold Person, Zone of Truth |
| 3rd | Clairvoyance, Sending |
| 4th | Arcane Eye, Locate Creature |
| 5th | Commune, Dominate Person |
Authoritative Presence
At 1st level, you naturally emanate an aura of authority. As an action, you can force a number of creatures equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) within 30 feet that can see you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. The frightened creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Repossess Property
Starting at 1st level, you have the authority to seize belongings from a taxpayer. As a bonus action, you can speak a command word to force a single creature you have frightened to drop one object it is holding. If the creature is within 5 feet of you, you can force it to hand the object to you instead.
Pact Boon: Pact of the Card
At 3rd level, a character dedicated to the IRS can select this option instead of one of the warlock’s existing Pact Boon options.
You receive a card from the IRS that details your membership as an agent of the IRS. While the card is on your person, you know the Locate Object spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn’t count against your number of spells known.
When you interact with others, you can present the card to confirm your authority. You gain advantage on a single Charisma (Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion) check. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
If you lose your card, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from the IRS. The ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous card. When you die, your status on the card magically changes to “DECEASED.”
Direct Tax
At 6th level, you can call on your patron to claim a portion of a roll. When a creature you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll a d8 and subtract that number from the roll, potentially turning it into a miss. On your next turn, you can add the number you rolled to the first attack roll you make.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Relentless Auditor
Beginning at 10th level, your steadfast position with the IRS has made you impossible to influence. You are immune to being frightened or charmed. Additionally, you don't require food, water, or sleep, although you still require rest to reduce exhaustion and still benefit from finishing short and long rests.
The Collector
Starting at 14th level, your patron authorizes repossession by any means. As an action, you emanate a taxing aura in a 30-foot radius, which lasts for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated. An enemy creature that starts its turn in the aura must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or it takes 4d8 psychic damage and becomes frightened until the start of its next turn.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
