Warlock Patron: The Collector

Otherworldly Patron

The Collector

A timeless being, thought to be the immortal King of a long forgotten civilisation, who was banished to its own extra-dimentional vault. It sees itself above all else, and thinks itself the rightful owner of all things. This being has an insatiable hunger to fill its vault with all of the world's greatest and rarest treasures. It seeks the world's finest wines, most precious jewlery, and most of all, the weapons of its greatest heros.

When the Collector lends its power, a golden portal to the vault opens, from which items or weapons are released, for example an Eldritch Blast or Magic Missile could make small portals open next to the caster, from which spears and swords are launched at speed. After these weapons have struck their target or missed, they dissolve into golden dust and return to the vault.

The Collector offers its power to those who seek fortune and luxury, especially those who indulge themselves in the world's greatest pleasures. It lends those it makes a pact with magical items and artifacts, including weapons from its armory in its quest to collect more. The Collector hopes to one day find a servant strong enough to break it from its prison.

Collectors Curse

Starting at 3rd level, you receive a curse in exchange for the power granted to you. If you die, after a number a days equal to your Charisma modifier, any items of value, magical or mundane that you owned in life, wherever they may be in the world dissolves into golden dust and disappears, transported to the vault. For larger objects such as land or property, only the deed will be transported into the vault.

Comforts of Greed

Starting at 3rd level, your patron offers you comfort in your journey. You know the Unseen Servant spell and the Tenser's Floating Disk spell, and you can cast each of these spells once using this feature without expending a pact slot or material components. Once you have cast these spells using this feature, you cannot cast them again until you have finished a long rest.

In addition, when you cast Unseen Servent using this feature, you can choose one of the following options:

  • Feast and Wine: The servant will summon silver plates and will serve a banquet of 6 pounds of exotic, rich and delicious food as well as 2 gallons of fine wine, enough to sustain up to two humanoids for 24 hours. The food and wine spoils if it is not eaten or drunk after 24 hours.
  • Fine Clothing: The servant will summon up to 5 sets of lavish and exotic clothing in any size of your choosing.
  • Scented Bath: The servant will summon a golden bathtub filled with warm water, soaps and perfumes.
  • Luxurious Tent: The servant will summon produce a small luxurious tent that appears larger on the inside. This tent has a comfortable bed, a desk and chair, and a magical light. The tent is protected from extreme weather and is a comfortable temperature inside. The tent can hold up to two creatures, if a third attempts to enter, it vanishes back into the vault.

Objects not including food and wine summoned using this feature vanish after 24 hours have passed. Additionally, if you attempt to sell any items summoned by this feature, they will vanish before the sale can take place.

Antique Armory

Also beginning at 3rd level, your patron grants you ancient armaments to aid you in your journey.

  • Gleaming Armor: You are granted a magical set of gleaming armor with an ornate and extravagant style that never seems to dirty. You are considered proficient in this armor, and can don or doff it as an action, summoning it directly onto your body from the vault. While wearing this armor your AC is equal to 13 + your Charisma modifier, and you can cast the Sanctuary spell at will with a one minute casting duration, targeting only yourself without expending a warlock spell slot.

  • Vault Missile: The damage die of the Eldritch Blast spell increases to 1d12, and Eldritch Blast scores a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. Additionally, when you cast the Conjure Barrage or Conjure Volley spells, you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage.

Relic's of Rarity

Starting at 6th level, your patron grants you access to magical Relics from their vault. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can choose a number of magic items equal to your Charisma modifier from the Relic list to know the location of within the vault. As an action, you can choose one item you know the location of and summon it, you are considered proficient in it, and it appears either in your hand, or on your body in the case of armor or clothing.

The list of Relics avalible to be chosen are listed at the end of the subclass document.

If the relic requires attunement, you can attune yourself to it the instant you borrow the item. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so using the normal process for attunement (see the attunement rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide).

The relic disappears and you lose attunement to it after 24 hours, if a creature other than you attempts to use it, or if you use this feature again to summon a different relic. Additionally, if you attempt to sell any items summoned by this feature, they will vanish before the sale can take place.

Once you have summoned an item with this feature, you cannot summon another until after you have completed a short or long rest.

Armaments of Kings and Heroes

At 10th level, The Collector grants you access to stronger ancient armaments.

  • Armor of Kings: While wearing your Gleaming Armor, you can know the Yolande's Regal Presence spell, and can cast it once without expending a pact slot or material components. Once you have cast Yolande's Regal Presence in this way, you cannot cast it again until you have completed a long rest. You can also cast this spell using any pact slots you have of the appropriate level.

  • Quickened Missile: When you cast a leveled spell with a casting time of one action, or use the Attack action to make a weapon attack on your turn, you may cast Eldritch Blast as a bonus action, but are limited to one beam.

Legendary Greed

At 14th level, The Collector allows you to enter the vault and enjoy its luxuries. You know the Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion spell, which takes the form of interior of the Vault. When a creature enters the Vault, their clothes and items are magically replaced with comfortable, exotic and expensive clothing of an ancient style, a creature regains their clothing and items upon leaving the Vault. The interior is made from gold and houses elaborate and exotic fittings and fixtures, beautiful paintings, sculptures and seemingly endless piles of gold, weapons, armor, jewelry, carpets, silks, foods and fine wines. In addition, you know the Heros Feast Spell. You can cast these spells once each using this feature once without expending a pact slot, mystic arcanum or material components. Once you have cast these spells using this feature, you cannot cast them again until you finish a long rest.
