Warlock: The Kraken

# Warlock: The Kraken
You have either sought out this entity and beseeched it for power or you were forced into servitude, whichever case you have now entered into a pact with a kraken that lurks somewhere in the deep oceans of the world. Krakens are ancient and terrifying creatures; incomprehensible alien knowledge lurks within their minds and countless plots are formed each moment to spread their control over the oceans. Krakens are known to control the rain and storms in the region around them, thus drawing many farmers or sailors to worship krakens in hopes of fair weather. Perhaps the Kraken's constant need for evolution and improvement to further their goal of conquering the oceans has led them to create you as their herald or perhaps you have given yourself to the Kraken for it to invoke its will through you.

You choose your relationship with your patron, undying devotion or rejection of their will. As such, your spells take on an inky tentacle appearance.

### Expanded Spell List
The Kraken lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The Kraken Expanded Spells table shows the Kraken spells that are added to the warlock spell list for you, along with the spells associated in the table with your relationship with your patron: devotion or rejection.

### Bonus Cantrips
At 1st level, you learn the Shape Water cantrip. This counts as warlock cantrip for you, but doesn't count against your number of cantrips known.

## Grasp of the Deep
Additionally at 1st level, you gain the ability to magically summon a spectral tentacle that strikes at your foes. As a bonus action, you create a 10-foot-long tentacle at a point you can see within 60 feet of you. The tentacle lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature to create another tentacle. When you create the tentacle, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 10 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 cold damage if you are Devotion or lightning damage if you are Rejection. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the tentacle up to 20 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 10 feet of it.

When you reach 6th level in this class, the damage dealt by the tentacle increases to 2d8. You can summon the tentacle a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

## Fathomless Soul
At 6th level, your patron has augmented your body to be better suited to the cold depths in which it resides. You can breathe underwater, you gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed, and you are resistant to cold damage.

## Ever Adapting
At 10th level, choose one of the following features:

#### Inky Escape
If a creature appears within 5 feet of you, you may create a cloud of ink as a reaction. Magical darkness spreads from a point you choose within 5 feet of you to fill a 15-foot radius sphere. The cloud spreads around corners. Any creature other than you is blinded even if the creature has darkvision, and non magical light can’t illuminate it. Each creature other than you that ends their turn there must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC, or take 5d8 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Creatures are affected even if they hold their breath or don’t need to breathe. A strong current disperses the cloud, which otherwise disappears at the end of your next turn. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

#### Guardian Grasp
*Requires Devotion*

The tentacle you create with Grasp of the Deep takes a more physical form and can defend you or others. When a creature you can see takes damage from an attack or spell and is within reach of your tentacle, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by an amount equal to a tentacles damage roll (to a minimum of 0 damage).

#### Devouring Maw
*Requires Rejection*

You can magically draw forth a manifestation of your patron’s insatiable hunger as your own. As an action, choose a point you can see within 60 feet of you. A translucent maw manifests in a 20-foot radius centered on that point, each creature other than you in that area when the maw appears must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save a creature takes 6d8 cold damage, or half as much damage on a successful one. You gain temporary hit points equal to half the total damage dealt which disappear after combat has ended. You can’t use this ability again until you finish a long rest.

## Kraken’s Calling
At 14th level, you receive a final gift for your exemplary devotion or stubborn rejection.

#### Beckon the Master
*Requires Devotion*

Your master has counted you as a valuable resource and will personally assist you at times. You gain the ability to call upon your patron for aid. As an action, you open a 20-foot-radius portal centered on you and choose one of the following effects:

\columnbreak

• *Transport*: You and up to seven creatures of your choice that are size Large or smaller and are standing within the portal are grasped by tentacle appendages and pulled in. A second portal opens at a point of your choice within 100 miles that you have visited within the past 24 hours, depositing you and your chosen creatures there. An unwilling creature targeted by this feature must succeed a DC 18 Strength saving throw to be unaffected.

• *Fury*: Squirming, ebony tentacles come writhing out of the portal. For the next minute, these tentacles turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain. When a creature other than you enters the affected area for the first time or starts its turn there, the creature must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 8d10 bludgeoning damage and is restrained. Successfully saving takes half damage and is not restrained. A creature restrained by the tentacles can use its action to make a Strength or Dexterity check (its choice) to free itself.

You can’t use this ability again until you complete a long rest.

#### Master’s Form
*Requires Rejection*

Your continued rejection of the Kraken has grown into your own power to subvert its control. As an action, you magically assume the form of a Lesser Kraken (Stats shown below). While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the Lesser Kraken, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use which ever bonus is higher.

• When you transform, you assume the beast's hit points. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form.

• Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as Call Lightning, that you've already cast. You also retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so.

• During the transformation, your equipment is merged into your new form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

Your form reverts after 1 hour, if you lose all of your kraken's hp, or if you use an action to end the form. You can’t use this ability again until you complete a long rest.

## Pact Boon Options
When you choose your Pact Boon feature, the
the following option is available to you.

A tattoo of a kraken is etched onto your back with two tentacles that reach out and protrude from your skin on your lower back, forming physical tentacles. These are natural melee weapons with which you are proficient. When you take the attack action, you can use your appendages in place of a standard attack. On a hit, the target takes damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier.  These appendages can deliver touch spells but can’t precisely manipulate anything and can't wield weapons or magic items. When you gain this feature, choose which properties your tentacles take:

#### Lashing
Your tentacles deal slashing damage and have the reach property.

#### Grasping
Your tentacles deal bludgeoning damage. Immediately after hitting, you can try to grapple the target as a bonus action.

### Pact of the Spark
A number of small sparks of lighting equal to your Warlock proficiency modifier float around you like lighting bugs. They do not shine bright enough to produce light.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one spark to force a creature you can see within 60 feet to make a Dexterity saving throw. The target takes 1d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much of a successful one.

Your sparks are restored on a short or long rest. This abilities damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th Level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8) in this class.

### Pact of the Chain
You learn the Find Familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn't count against your number of spells known.

When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of the following special forms: imp, pseudodragon, quasit, sprite, or an ice mephit.

Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to use its reaction to make one attack of its own.
