# Pact of the Undying (Revised) ## Death holds no sway over your patron, who has unlocked the secrets of everlasting life, although such a prize – like all power – comes at a price. Once mortal, the Undying has seen mortal lifetimes pass like the seasons, like the flicker of endless days and nights. It has the secrets of the ages to share, secrets of life and death. Beings of this sort include Vecna, Lord of the Hand and the Eye; the dread Iuz; the lich-queen Vol; the Undying Court of Aerenal; Vlaakith, lich-queen of the githyanki; and the deathless wizard Fistandantalus. In the Realms, Undying patrons include Larloch the Shadow King, legendary master of Warlock's Crypt, and Gilgeam, the God-King of Unther. ### Expanded Spell List The Undying 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. | Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------:| | 1 | Inflict Wounds, False Life | | 2 | Blindness/Deafness, Silence | | 3 | Feign Death, Speak With Dead | | 4 | Aura of Life, Death Ward | | 5 | Contagion, Legend Lore | <div style='column-count:2'> </div> ### Among the Dead Starting at 1st level, you learn the spare the dying, and chill touch cantrip, which counts as a warlock cantrips for you, you can cast spare the dying as a bonus action on your turn. When you cast a necromancy spell of 1st level or higher that deals necrotic damage, you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage. Additionally, undead have difficulty harming you. If an undead targets you directly with an attack or a harmful spell, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC (an undead needn’t make the save when it includes you in an area effect, such as the explosion of fireball). On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or forfeit targeting someone instead of you, potentially wasting the attack or spell. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours. An undead is also immune to this effect for 24 hours if you target it with an attack or a harmful spell. \columnbreak ### Defy Death Starting at 6th level, you can give yourself vitality when you cheat death or when you help someone else cheat it.You can regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 hit point) when you succeed on a death-saving throw or when you stabilize a creature with spare the dying.
