I preface this tome by stating that I, the Wandering Lord, whom some know as Morberos, have made many mistakes throughout my years. I, like many of my deranged fellows, regret my decision to enter a pact with a higher being. Now, while that may be the case, it is undeniable that through proxy of a patron, I have become one of the most powerful beings within the realms, exceeding the potential of many other warlocks, and even forcing my patron to submit to my will, though not completely.
Many who know me will note my fascination with knowledge and documents. As a part of this fascination, I have set out on my travels to collect as much knowledge as possible. Some have mistaken me for the likes of a wizard, and others say that my actions will lead to my ending up as an allip. To them I say, probably.
But back on track, this small tome is a collection of eldritch knowledge I have collected over the years. While I strongly suggest otherwise, I am smart enough to realize that many people are going to run off making pacts with whatever then can, and so I encourage those that do to read my document and utilize it to the fullest potential. Know what you are getting into, and know what you can do.
~ Morberos
Warlocks
Seekers of knowledge, makers of pacts, enslavers of their souls. Warlocks are those who are driven by desire. The desire to learn. The desire to be more powerful. The desire to control the fabrics of the universe. To this end a warlock will find a beings of almost peerless power, offer them their servitude, and then enslave themselves while seeking to somehow meet their, and their patrons goals.
Pact Boon
At 3rd level, and as you progress through your warlock levels, your otherworldly patron bestows a gift upon you for your loyal service. The following Boons can be added to your list of possible choices.
Pact of the Link
You have been gifted with a set of magical chains which encase your body. You can use a bonus action to summon 25 ft. of chains, or dismiss them, with dismissal causing tattoos of the same chains to appear on your body. If you die or fall unconscious while your chains are summoned, they are dismissed.
While summoned, you can use the chains as if they were a whip, and the chains count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance.
The chains can be used to restrain enemies. As an action, you can choose to forgo an attack, and target a creature of your choice, causing them to make a Strength saving throw against your spell DC. A failed saving throw results in the target becoming grappled and restrained.
On the restrained creature's turn, it can use an action to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC to break free.
While your chains are materialized, you have disadvantage on stealth checks.
Pact of the Mantle
Your patron grants you a cloak called the Cloak of Preservation. While you don this cloak, you and a number of creatures of your choice equal to your proficiency bonus within 10 ft. of you gain a +1 to their AC.
If you lose your Cloak of Preservation, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous cloak. The cloak turns to ash when you die.
Pact of the Rune
Your patron grants you the knowledge and understanding of an arcane character known as the rune Purs. When you gain this benefit, you can use your action to restrict the movements of one creature you can see within 30 ft. of you with the rune. While restricted, the creatures movement is halfed, with the rune appearing on their forehead.
You can only have one creature under the effects of Purs at a time.
A dastardly bunch, you would think one day people would learn that selling your soul for power always ends badly. And the power they get literally boils down to a better eldritch blast!

Titans Vitality
You inherit part of your patron’s immortal constitution. Starting when you accept this Patron at 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 additional point whenever you gain a level in this class.
Titans Strength
At 1st level, you know how to leverage the full extent of your patron's bestowed strength in combat. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus action to deal extra damage equal to half your warlock level. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1), regaining expended uses after you finish a short or long rest.
Elements of Battle
Starting at 6th level, your patron Titan grants you 2 resistances. The first resistance is based off of the Titan you have formed a Pact with, as seen in the titan table below. The second resistance is one of your choosing from either acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. You cannot select 2 of the same resistances, and a resistance does not grant you any benefits if you already have the resistance.
| Titan | Damage Type |
|---|---|
| Bouřka | lightning |
| Kámen | force |
| Led | cold |
| Nebe | thunder |
| Oheň | fire |
| Země | acid |
Environmental Adaptation
At 10th level you gain the ability to add 1d8 of elemental damage to your melee attacks. The damage type is determined by the element of your Patron Titan, which can be determined with the titan table below. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum one), regaining all uses after you finish a short or long rest.
Eidolon of the Titans
Beginning at 14th level you can use a bonus action to manifest a spiritual form of your Patron around you. Upon doing so, you gain the following benefits for 1 minute.
- Your size becomes Large.
- You gain advantage on Constitution saving throws, Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
- When you make a melee weapon attack involving Strength, the attack does an additional 1d8 die of damage.
- The reach of your melee attacks increases by 5 feet.
- Your melee weapon attacks gain the Siege trait (double damage to objects and structures).
This spiritual manifestation ends early if you are knocked unconscious, die, or if you end it as a bonus action. You can use this ability a number of times equal to half your Charisma modifier rounded down (minimum one), regaining all uses after you finish a short or long rest.
