Otherworldly Patron
Cursed Hag
You have made a pact with a cursed hag from a lost swamp. This being's motivations are quite simple : to lure naive souls into their trap, and then tormenting them, bringing them to despair. Their is no escape from the thorns of the swamp.
Expanded Spell List
The Cursed Hag 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.
Cursed Hag expended spells
| Spell level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 1st | Entangle, Ray of Sickness |
| 2nd | Spike Growth, Alter Self |
| 3rd | Plant Growth, Bestow Curse |
| 4th | Grasping Vine, Giant Insect |
| 5th | Contagion, Insect Plague |
Trickery
Starting at 1st level, you know how to use the hag's trickeries to lure peoples into following you in your trap. You gain proficiency in Deception.
Curse of the swamp
Starting at 1st level, you know the spell Hex. It counts as a warlock spell for you but doesn't count against the number of warlock spells you know. When you target a creature that is on a difficult terrain with that spell, you can cast it without expending a spellslot. When casted this way, that spell doesn't require your concentration and lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
At 6th level, if Bestow Curse is part of your spells known, you can cast it instead of the spell Hex when you use this feature.

Hearthstone's blasphemy
When you reach 6th level, your patron gives you a lustrous black gem called Hearthstone.
As a bonus action, you can consume the power of the Hearthstone to gain one of the following benefits :
- Remove all diseases affecting a creature that you touch with the Hearthstone. That creature gains temporary hit points equal to your warlock level until you use this feature again.
- Become ethereal until the end of your next turn.
When you consume the power of the Hearthstone, you can't do it again until you finish a short or long rest, as it needs time to replenish its dark energy.
Dark harvest
Starting at 10th level, every time a living creature within 30ft of you and affected by the spell Hex, Bestow Curse or Contagion dies, you can catch its soul in your bag of soul (a unholy little pouch made of human flesh given to you by your patron). Your bag of soul can only hold one soul at a time.
Unforgivable ritual
Starting at 10th level, during a short or a long rest, you can perform an unforgivable ritual using a soul from your bag of soul, and a sample from a creature (a tooth, a drop of blood, a lock of hair etc.).
When you do so, that components are consumed, and you can cast Hex (or Bestow Curse, or Contagion, if they are part of your spells known) on the creature the sample was originated from.
When using this feature, you don't have to expend a spellslot to cast that spell. Moreover, the spell doesn't require your concentration and lasts for 24 hours.
Profanation
Starting at 14th level, during a short or a long rest, you can choose to consume a soul hold in your soul bag to profane an object you touch. When you do so, choose an effect from the spell Contagion.
Any creature other than yourself that carry, wield or use that object is affected by the chosen effect until that creature no longer carry, wield or use the profaned object.
The profanation lasts until the spell Dispel Magic or Remove Curse is used on the object.
Hearthstone's nightmare
Starting at 14th level, when you consume the power of the Hearthstone, you can choose to cast the spell Etherealness instead of one of the two options described in the Hearthstone's blasphemy feature, even if that spell is not part of your spells known. When you do so, you don't need to expend a spellslot to cast that spell.
Moreover, if the spell Dream is part of your spells known, you can, as an action when you are on the ethereal plane, touch a sleeping creature of the material plane and cast the spell Dream on it.
