All-Seeing Eyes
2nd
You gain a supernaturally precise
vision of the world around you.
You gain the benefits of
comprehend languages, albeit for
written words only. Additionally,
you gain a +6 bonus on Search
and Spot checks. All-seeing eyes
lasts for 24 hours.
Baleful Utterance
2nd
You speak a single syllable of the
Dark Speech (described in Book
of Vile Darkness), affecting an
object or area as if by a shatter
spell. If a creature is holding or
wearing the target of the spell
and the target is destroyed, the
creature must make a Fortitude
save or be dazed for 1 round and
deafened for 1 minute by your
terrible word. This is a sonic
effect.
Beguiling Influence
2nd
You can invoke this ability to
beguile and bewitch your foes.
You gain a +6 bonus on Bluff,
Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks
for a period of 24 hours.
Breath of the Night
1st
A misty cloud of fog spreads in a
20-foot radius around you when
you use this invocation, as the
spell fog cloud. The fog does not
block line of sight, but all
creatures in the fog have
concealment. A moderate wind
or any fire larger than a torch
immediately disperses the fog.
The fog disperses on its own after
1 minute.
Call of the Beast
2nd
You gain a rapport with the
beasts of the world. You gain the
wild empathy ability as a druid of
your warlock level and can
communicate with animals as if
under the effect of speak with
animals. This invocation lasts for
24 hours.
Cocoon of Refuse
1st
You cause various bits of trash
and detritus in an area—loose
wood, rotting garbage, old
clothes, discarded dishes, scraps
of parchment, even dead
animals—to fly about and latch
onto a single target creature. If
the target fails a Reflex save, he is
entangled. The subject can
escape with a successful DC 20
Strength or Escape Artist check,
which can be repeated in every
round as a standard action. The
invocation ends when the target
successfully escapes, or after 1
round per caster level. This
invocation requires that at least
50% of the refuse be urban trash,
so it does not function in the
wilderness. Creatures of Huge or
larger size are immune to this
invocation.
Cold Comfort
2nd
Your unnatural aura renders you
partly immune to the ravages of
the environment. You remain
cool in hot weather and warm in
cold weather, as the spell endure
elements. Additionally, you
radiate a small aura of warmth or
cold; allies within 30 feet of you
also benefit from this effect. This
invocation lasts for 24 hours.
Dark One’s Own Luck
2nd
You are favored by the dark
powers if you have this
invocation. You gain a luck bonus
equal to your Charisma bonus (if
any) on Fortitude saves, Reflex
saves, or Will saves (your choice
each time you use this ability) for
a period of 24 hours. You can’t
apply this ability to two different
save types at the same time. This
bonus can never exceed your
class level.
Darkness
2nd
You can use darkness as the spell.
Devil’s Sight
Least; 2nd
You gain the visual acuity of a
devil for 24 hours. You can see
normally in darkness and magical
darkness out to 30 feet.
Drain Incarnum
2nd
This ephemeral claw reaches into
a single creature within 30 feet.
Unless the creature succeeds on
a Fortitude save, it takes 1 point
of essentia damage. A creature
without an essentia pool instead
takes 1 point of Wisdom damage.
Earthen Grasp
2nd
You can use earthen grasp as the
spell.
Eldritch Glaive
2nd; Blast Shape
Your eldritch blast takes on
physical substance, appearing
similar to a glaive. As a full-round
action, you can make a single
melee touch attack as if wielding
a reach weapon. If you hit, your
target is affected as if struck by
your eldritch blast (including any
eldritch essence applied to the
blast). Unlike hideous blow, you
cannot combine your eldritch
glaive with damage from a held
weapon. Furthermore, until the
start of your next turn, you also
threaten nearby squares as if
wielding a reach weapon, and
you can make attacks of
opportunity with your eldritch
glaive. These are melee touch
attacks. If your base attack bonus
is +6 or higher, you can (as part
of the full-round action) make as
many attacks with your eldritch
glaive as your base attack bonus
allows. For example, a 12th-level
warlock could attack twice, once
with a base attack bonus of+6,
and again with a base attack
bonus of +1.
Eldritch Spear
2nd; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation
extends your eldritch blast
attacks to great distances.
Eldritch spear increases the range
of an eldritch blast attack to 250
feet with no range increment.
Entropic Warding
2nd
When this invocation is activated,
chaotic energies swirl about you,
deflecting incoming arrows, rays,
and other ranged attacks (as
entropic shield). You leave no
trail (as pass without trace) and
cannot be tracked by scent. (You
can still be detected normally by
scent, just not tracked.)
Frightful Blast
2nd; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a frightful
blast. Any creature struck by a
frightful blast must succeed on a
Will save or become shaken for 1
minute. A shaken creature struck
by a frightful blast is not affected
by the shaken aspect of the blast
but takes damage normally.
Creatures with immunity to
mind-affecting spells and abilities
or fear effects cannot be shaken
by a frightful blast.
Hammer Blast
2nd; Eldritch Essence
You transform your eldritch blast
into a hammer blast. The blast
deals normal damage to objects,
rather than half.
Hideous Blow
1st; Blast Shape
As a standard action, you can
make a single melee attack. If
you hit, the target is affected as if
struck by your eldritch blast
(including any eldritch essence
applied to the blast). This
damage is in addition to any
weapon damage that you deal
with your attack, although you
need not deal damage with this
attack to trigger the eldritch blast
effect.
Leaps and Bounds
2nd
You invoke this ability to gain
amazing agility. You gain a +6
bonus on Balance, Jump, and
Tumble checks for 24 hours.
Miasmic Cloud
1st
A misty cloud of fog spreads in a
10-foot radius from you when
you use this invocation. The fog
does not block line of sight, but
all creatures in the fog have
concealment. Any creature (other
than you) that enters the fog
must make a Fortitude save or
become fatigued. This effect lasts
as long as the creature remains
within the cloud and for 1 round
thereafter. A moderate wind, or
any fire larger than a torch,
immediately disperses the fog.
The fog otherwise lasts for 1
minute.
Otherworldly Whispers
2nd
You hear whispers in your ears,
revealing secrets of the
multiverse. You gain a +6 bonus
on Knowledge (arcana),
Knowledge (religion), and
Knowledge (the planes) checks
for 24 hours.
See the Unseen
2nd
When you use this invocation,
you can activate great powers of
vision, allowing you to see
invisible creatures and objects (as
see invisibility). You also gain
darkvision out to 60 feet for a
period of 24 hours.
Serpent's Tongue
2nd
Your tongue transforms into that
of a serpent, and you gain the
scent ability. Additionally, you
gain a +5 bonus on saves against
poison. This invocation lasts for
24 hours.
Sickening Blast
2nd; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a sickening
blast. Any living creature struck
by a sickening blast must make a
Fortitude save or become
sickened for 1 minute. A sickened
creature struck by a second
sickening blast is not affected by
the sickening aspect of the blast
but still takes damage normally.
Soulreaving Aura
2nd
You can use reaving aura as the
spell. In addition to the normal
effect, if any creature within 10
feet of you dies, you gain
temporary hit points equal to its
HD (maximum 10) for 1 round.
Spiderwalk
2nd
You can grant yourself the ability
to spider climb (as the spell) with
a duration of 24 hours. While this
invocation is in effect, you are
unaffected by webs (either
mundane or magical).
Summon Swarm
2nd
You can use summon swarm as
the spell with this invocation.
Unlike the spell, this invocation
has a duration of concentration
instead of concentration + 2
rounds.
Swimming the Styx
2nd
By channeling the fiendish and
infamous river, you become an
aquatic creature. Your hands and
feet become slightly webbed,
granting you a swim speed equal
to your base land speed (and all
other benefits derived from a
swim speed, including a +8 racial
bonus on Swim checks; see
Monster Manual page 311). You
gain the ability to breathe water
as well as air. This invocation
lasts for 24 hours.
Voice of Madness
2nd
You can use lesser confusion, as
the spell. However, the duration
is increased by 1 round for every
two caster levels you possess. If
you are a follower of the Cults of
the Dragon Below, the saving
throw DC is increased by 1.
Lesser Warlock Invocations
Baneful Blast
3rd; Eldritch Essence
You transform your eldritch blast
into a baneful blast. This blast
deals an extra 2d6 points of
damage against creatures of a
specific type. You must select the
creature type when you first gain
this invocation, and you can't
later change your mind (though
you can take this invocation more
than once, choosing a new
creature type each time). You
choose your creature type from
the categories offered for a
ranger's favored enemy (Player's
Handbook page 47), including a
subtype if you choose humanoid
or outsider.
Beshadowed Blast
4th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a beshadowed
blast. Any living creature struck
by a beshadowed blast must
succeed on a Fortitude save or be
blinded for 1 round.
Brimstone Blast
3rd; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a brimstone
blast. A brimstone blast deals fire
damage. Any creature struck by a
brimstone blast must succeed on
a Reflex save or catch on fire,
taking 2d6 points of fire damage
per round until it takes a full-
round action to extinguish the
flames or the duration expires.
The fire damage persists for 1
round per five class levels you
have. For example, a 15th-level
warlock deals 2d6 points of fire
damage for 3 rounds after the
initial brimstone blast attack. A
creature burning in this way
never takes more than 2d6 points
of fire damage in a round, even if
it has been hit by more than one
brimstone blast.
Charm
4th
You can beguile a creature within
60 feet. The creature must
succeed on a Will save or
instantly come to regard you as
its comrade. This is a language-
dependent ability. Other than
these differences, this ability
works as the charm monster
spell. You can never have more
than one target charmed at a
time with this ability. If a second
creature is charmed, you lose
your hold on the first creature.
Crawling Eye
3rd
One of your eyes leaves your
head and sprouts spidery legs.
You can see through the eye no
matter where it goes, so you can
use it to scout or spy. The eye
can't crawl of its own volition,
but you can direct it to move or
climb up to 20 feet as a move
action. Its Climb modifier is equal
to your warlock level +8. You can
direct a crawling eye in your
space to climb back into your eye
socket as a move action. When
you use this invocation, your
current and full normal hit point
totals are reduced by 2 for as
long as the eye is detached. The
eye is considered a Fine creature
with AC 20 and 2 hit points. Its
Hide and Move Silently modifiers
are equal to your warlock level.
For all other purposes, its
statistics are equal to yours. You
can't cast most invocations or
spells through the eye, but any
spells or invocations that affect
your sense of sight—such as
devil's sight, all-seeing eyes, or
detect magic—function through
the eye as though it was still
attached. If your crawling eye is
destroyed, you are dazzled for
1d4 hours, during which time the
eye regrows. (If you normally
have only one eye, you are
blinded instead.) At the end of
this period, you regain the 2 lost
hit points, and the dazzled
condition ends. Only one of your
eyes can be used for crawling eye
at any time; if your crawling eye
is destroyed, you can't use this
invocation again until your eye
regrows.
Curse of Despair
4th
You can use this invocation to
bestow a curse upon a touched
opponent (as bestow curse). Even
if the save against this ability
succeeds, the creature takes a -1
penalty on attack rolls for 1
minute.
The Dead Walk
4th
You can turn the bones or bodies
of dead creatures into undead
skeletons or zombies (as the
animate dead spell). Unless you
include the normal material
component for the spell (an onyx
gem worth 25 gp per Hit Die of
the undead) as part of the
process, undead created by this
ability crumble into dust after 1
minute per caster level.
Deteriorating Blast
4th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a deteriorating
blast. Any creature struck by a
deteriorating blast must succeed
on a Fortitude save or have its
damage reduction lowered by 5
for 1 minute. If the target has
more than one type of damage
reduction, this effect applies to
all of them. Multiple uses of this
essence don't stack; instead, the
new duration replaces the old
one.
Disembodied Hand
4th
One of your hands drops off at
the wrist and floats in the air. You
can use the hand in all ways as if
it were still attached—
manipulating items, delivering
attacks with a light or one-
handed weapon, or even
delivering a touch attack with a
spell or invocation that you cast
before it detaches. However, it
requires you to expend the same
action that would have been
required—picking up an item
takes a move action, making an
attack takes a standard action,
and so forth. The hand flies
rather than crawls, but it can't
move on its own. You can move
the hand up to 30 feet through
the air as a move action. You can
direct a disembodied hand in
your space to reattach to your
arm as a move action. When you
use this invocation, your current
and full normal hit point totals
are reduced by 5 for as long as
the hand is detached. The hand is
considered a Diminutive creature
with AC 20 and 5 hit points. Its
Hide and Move Silently modifiers
are equal to your warlock level.
For all other purposes, its
statistics are equal to yours. If
your disembodied hand is
destroyed, it regrows in 1d4
hours. At the end of this period,
you regain the 5 lost hit points.
Only one of your hands can be
used for disembodied hand at any
time; if your disembodied hand is
destroyed, you can't use this
invocation again until your hand
regrows.
Dread Seizure
4th
You speak a word that sends
wracking pain through the limbs
of a single target creature within
60 feet. Though these seizures
are not powerful enough to
immobilize the creature, they do
reduce all of its speeds by ½
(round fractions up to the
nearest 5-foot increment). The
target also takes a -5 penalty on
attacks made against creatures
more than 5 feet away from it (or
against creatures outside its own
space, for creatures with a
natural reach of 0 feet). This
effect lasts for 3 rounds; a
successful Fortitude save negates
the effect.
Eldritch Chain
4th; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation allows
you to improve your eldritch
blast by turning it into an arc of
energy that “jumps” from the
first target to others. An eldritch
chain can jump to one or more
secondary targets within 30 feet
of the first target, allowing you to
make additional ranged touch
attacks and deal damage to the
secondary targets if you hit. You
can “jump” the chain to one
secondary target per five caster
levels, so you can strike two
additional targets at 10th level,
three additional targets at 15th
level, and four additional targets
at 20th level. Each new target
must be within 30 feet of the
previous one, and you can’t
target the same creature more
than once with the eldritch chain.
If you miss any target in the
chain, the eldritch chain attack
ends there. Each target struck
after the first takes half the
damage dealt to the first target.
This reduction in damage to
secondary targets applies to any
effect that increases the damage
of your eldritch blast (such as
vitriolic blast). You must make a
separate spell penetration check
for each target, if applicable.
Fell Flight
3rd
When you use this invocation,
the powers of darkness bear you
aloft as you sprout a streaming,
winglike cape of shadows. You
can fly at a speed equal to your
land speed with good
maneuverability for 24 hours.
Flee the Scene
4th
You can use dimension door as a
spell-like ability, although the
range is limited to short (25 ft + 5
ft/2 levels). When you use this
ability, you leave behind a major
image of yourself in your place
that lasts for 1 round. The image
reacts appropriately to attacks as
if you were concentrating on it.
Hellrime Blast
4th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a hellrime
blast. A hellrime blast deals cold
damage. Any creature struck by
the attack must make a Fortitude
save or take a -4 penalty to
Dexterity for 10 minutes. The
Dexterity penalties from multiple
hellrime blasts do not stack.
Hungry Darkness
3rd
You can create an area of shadow
(as the darkness spell) that is
filled with bats (as the bat
swarm, page 237 of the Monster
Manual, except the swarm fills
every square occupied by the
darkness). The hungry darkness is
stationary. You are immune to
the attacks of your own hungry
darkness, but you are still subject
to the effect of the darkness. The
hungry darkness remains as long
as you concentrate on it (like
concentrating on a spell), plus 2
rounds thereafter. If the bat
swarm is destroyed, the darkness
disappears as well.
Ignore the Pyre
4th
When you use this invocation,
you gain remarkable resilience to
any one energy type (acid, cold,
electricity, fire, or sonic). For 24
hours, you gain resistance equal
to your invocation caster level
against the energy type of your
choice. If you use this invocation
a second time before the
duration of the first expires, the
new resistance and duration
replace the old one.
Mask of Flesh
3rd
Make a touch attack against a
living creature of your size
category. If you succeed, your
physical appearance (including
garb) changes to match his, as
disguise self. In addition, when
you use this invocation you can
choose to bestow a -1d6 penalty
to the touched creature's
Charisma score. This penalty
can't reduce the creature's
Charisma below 1. A successful
Will save by the target negates
both effects. A creature that
successfully saves can't be
affected by your mask of flesh for
24 hours. Both effects last for 1
hour per warlock level; if you
dismiss the invocation, both
effects end.
Relentless Dispelling
4th
You can use the targeted version
of dispel magic, as the spell. The
round after you use this
invocation, the target of the
effect is subjected to another
targeted dispel magic at the start
of your turn (with no additional
action required on your part).
Spider-Shape
3rd
You can transform yourself into
the form of a Small or Medium
fiendish monstrous spider. The
available range of sizes you can
assume increases as your caster
level increases.
Level Additional Size Available
8th Large
11th Tiny
15th Huge
20 th
Gargantuan
This invocation is a polymorph
effect (see Drow of the
Underdark page 59 for details of
the polymorph subschool). It
lasts for a number of hours equal
to your caster level, or until you
choose to end it.
Steal Incarnum
4th
You can use this invocation to
steal essentia from a touched
opponent for your own use.
Unless the creature succeeds on
a Fortitude save, it loses 1 point
of essentia for every 5 caster
levels (to a maximum loss of 4
points at 20th level), and you gain
essentia equal to the amount
lost. The gained essentia fades
after 1 minute, though the
essentia loss must be healed or
otherwise restored normally. If a
creature fails its save against this
invocation, it can’t be affected by
it again for 24 hours. A target
without essentia can’t be
affected by this invocation.
Stony Grasp
3rd
You can use stony grasp as the
spell.
Sudden Swarm
4th
When you kill a living creature
with one of your invocations
(including eldritch blast), a swarm
of spiders bursts from the corpse.
This swarm has the same
statistics as a normal spider
swarm (Monster Manual page
239), except that you add your
warlock level to its hit points and
the save DC for its poison. The
swarm is entirely under your
mental control, and fights as you
direct it. Commanding the swarm
is a free action. The swarm
remains for a number of rounds
equal to your caster level or until
it is destroyed. The swarm can
take only a standard action in the
round when it emerges. At any
given time, you can control only
one of these swarms. If you slay a
second creature when a previous
swarm is still active, you can
choose either to create a second
swarm (in which case the first
disappears) or to leave the first
swarm active and not create a
second one. Sudden swarm lasts
for 24 hours or until its effect is
triggered.
Thieves’ Bane
3rd
So named for the people who
most commonly suffer its effects,
this invocation allows you to
make a deadly trap of an ordinary
door. You can produce a hold
portal effect, as the spell. In
addition, should anyone other
than you open the ensorcelled
portal from the outside by any
means (including knock or dispel
magic spells) before the spell’s
duration expires, the portal (or a
large portion thereof) instantly
explodes outward, dealing 5d6
points of damage to all within 20
feet of the door on that side.
Creatures standing on the inside
of the door are unaffected. Each
creature but the one that
triggered the effect (assuming it
was standing in front of the door)
can attempt a Reflex save for half
damage. Spell resistance does
not apply to the damage caused
by this effect.
Voidsense
4th
You can sharpen your hearing
and sight when you use this
invocation, gaining blindsense
out to 30 feet for 24 hours.
Voracious Dispelling
4th
You can use dispel magic as the
spell. Any creature with an active
spell effect dispelled by this
invocation takes 1 point of
damage per level of the spell
effect (no save).
Walk Unseen
2nd
You gain the ability to fade from
view. You can use invisibility (self
only), except the duration is 24
hours.
Wall of Gloom
2nd
You can use wall of gloom as the
spell.
Weighty Utterance
4th
You speak a word of the Dark
Speech (Book of Vile Darkness
page 47), causing one flying
creature to be forced downward
suddenly. You can affect a single
target creature within 60 feet.
The target must make a Will save
or fall 5 feet per caster level. A
creature that is forced to the
ground as a result of this
invocation takes 1d6 points of
damage per 10 feet traveled and
cannot fly again for 1 round.
Witchwood Step
3rd
Your footsteps become
supernaturally sure and
supportive. Your movement is
unaffected by undergrowth or
rubble of any kind, and you are
immune to being entangled. You
can even walk on water, as the
water walk spell. This invocation
lasts for 24 hours.
Greater Warlock Invocations
Bewitching Blast
4th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a bewitching
blast. Any creature struck by a
bewitching blast must succeed on
a Will save or be confused for 1
round in addition to the normal
damage from the blast. This is a
mind-influencing effect.
Caustic Mire
4th
You can use caustic mire as the
spell. If you use this invocation a
second time while a previous
caustic mire is still present, the
previous effect ends.
Chilling Tentacles
5th
This invocation allows you to
conjure forth a field of soul-
chilling black tentacles that ooze
from the ground, groping for
victims. This invocation functions
identically to the Evard’s black
tentacles spell, except that each
creature within the area of the
invocation takes 2d6 points of
cold damage each round.
Creatures in the area take this
cold damage whether or not they
are grappled by the tentacles.
Devil’s Whispers
5th
You can use a suggestion effect,
as the spell. Additionally, when
the duration ends or the task is
completed, the subject must
attempt a second Will save with a
-5 penalty. If this second save
fails, the subject completely
forgets that you were the one
who suggested the course of
action mandated by the use of
devil’s whispers, instead
becoming convinced that it was
his own idea—even if he’s not
certain why he might have
chosen to perform such an
action. A successful break
enchantment spell can rid him of
this delusion, but dispel magic
and similar effects cannot. You
can have a number of devil’s
whispers active at any one time
equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum 1). Devil’s whispers is a
mind-affecting compulsion effect.
Devour Magic
6th
This invocation allows you to
deliver a targeted greater dispel
magic with your touch. You gain
5 temporary hit points for each
spell level dispelled by this touch.
For example, if you successfully
dispel a wall of ice, you gain 20
temporary hit points. These
temporary hit points fade after 1
minute and do not stack with
other temporary hit points. If you
devour a new spell, you can
replace the old temporary hit
points with the ones gained from
the more recent spell, thus
resetting the duration. You
cannot devour your own
invocations.
Dragonward
6th
Using this invocation makes you
resistant to the attacks and
special abilities of dragons for 24
hours. You gain the following
benefits, which apply against any
creature of the dragon type or
the dragonblood subtype:
• Immunity to frightful
presence.
• Damage reduction 5/—
against natural weapons (this
stacks with similar damage
reduction you might already
have, such as from barbarian
levels).
• Resistance 20 against any
acid, cold, electricity, fire, or
sonic damage dealt by a
breath weapon.
Eldritch Cone
5th; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation allows
you to invoke your eldritch blast
as a 30-foot cone. The eldritch
cone deals the normal eldritch
blast damage to all targets within
the area. This is not a ray attack,
so it requires no ranged touch
attack. Any creature in the area
of the cone can attempt a Reflex
save for half damage.
Eldritch Line
5th; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation allows
you to invoke your eldritch blast
as a 60-toot line. An eldritch line
deals the normal eldritch blast
damage to all targets within the
area. This is not a ray attack, so it
requires no ranged touch attack.
Any creature in the line can
attempt a Reflex save for half
damage.
Enervating Shadow
5th
The dark powers cloak you and
shield you from harm while
draining vitality from nearby
foes. This invocation grants you
total concealment in any area
that isn’t brightly lit (it will not
work in daylight or in the radius
of a spell with the light
descriptor). In addition, any living
creature adjacent to you with this
ability active must make a
Fortitude save at the beginning of
its turn or take a -4 penalty to
Strength for 5 rounds. Once a
creature is affected by enervating
shadow, it cannot be affected
again by your enervating shadow
for 24 hours. The duration of this
ability is 5 rounds, and it can be
countered or dispelled by any
light spell or effect of equal or
higher level.
Hellspawned Grace
6th
You take on the form and
statistics of a hellcat (Monster
Manual page 54) for a number of
rounds equal to ½ your warlock
level. This is a polymorph effect
(see the polymorph subschool,
Complete Mage page 91). If
reduced to 0 or fewer hit points
while in hellcat form, you can't
use this invocation again for 1
hour.
Hindering Blast
4th; Eldritch Essence
You transform your eldritch blast
into a hindering blast. Any living
creature struck by a hindering
blast must succeed on a Will save
or be slowed for 1 round in
addition to the normal damage
from the blast.
Incarnum Blast
6th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into an incarnum
blast. Any living creature whose
alignment is opposed to at least
one component of yours must
succeed on a Fortitude save or be
dazed for 1 round. (For example,
a chaotic good warlock would
daze lawful good, lawful neutral,
lawful evil, neutral evil, and
chaotic evil opponents.) If the
creature also has an essentia
pool, it also loses 1 point of
essentia if it fails the save. Other
living creatures take the normal
damage for your eldritch blast
but are not dazed. Nonliving
creatures are entirely unaffected
by incarnum blast. You can invest
essentia in this invocation once
per day as if it were an incarnum
feat. Every point of essentia
invested in your incarnum blast
invocation increases the damage
dealt by the blast by 1d6 points,
but only against living creatures
whose alignment is opposed to at
least one component of yours.
Once the amount of essentia
invested is chosen, it cannot be
altered and remains invested for
24 hours.
Nightmares Made Real
5th
You can use nightmare terrain as
the spell. In addition to the
normal effect, all creatures
within the area at the start of
your turn take 1d6 points of
damage if they do not succeed on
Will saves to disbelieve the
effect. If you use this invocation a
second time while a previous
nightmares made real is still
present, the previous effect ends.
Noxious Blast
6th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a noxious blast.
Any creature struck by a noxious
blast must make a Fortitude save
or be nauseated for 1 minute.
Painful Slumber of Ages
6th
You can use endless slumber as
the spell. Any creature awakened
from this effect by anything other
than a successful save takes
damage equal to your warlock
level (no save).
Penetrating Blast
6th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a penetrating
blast. A penetrating blast gains a
+4 bonus on caster level checks
made to penetrate a target's
spell resistance. A creature
affected by a penetrating blast
must succeed on a Will save or
have its spell resistance lowered
by 5 for 1 minute. Multiple uses
of this essence don't stack;
instead, the new duration
replaces the old one.
Repelling Blast
6th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a repelling
blast. Any Medium or smaller
creature struck by a repelling
blast must make a Reflex save or
be hurled 1d6×5 feet (1d6
squares) directly away from you
and knocked prone by the energy
of the attack. If the creature
strikes a solid object, it stops
prematurely, taking 1d6 points of
damage per 10 feet hurled, and it
is still knocked prone. Movement
from this blast does not provoke
attacks of opportunity.
Tenacious Plague
6th
You can use this invocation to
summon a swarm, as the insect
plague spell. You add your
Charisma modifier to the
Fortitude save DC to resist the
swarm’s distraction ability. The
attacks of any locust swarm
summoned by this ability are
treated as magic weapons for the
purpose of overcoming damage
reduction.
Vitriolic Blast
6th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into a vitriolic blast.
A vitriolic blast deals acid
damage, and it is formed from
conjured acid, making it different
from other eldritch essences
because it ignores spell
resistance. Creatures struck by a
vitriolic blast automatically take
an extra 2d6 points of acid
damage on following rounds. This
acid damage persists for 1 round
per five class levels you have. For
example, a 15th-level warlock
deals 2d6 points of acid damage
per round for 3 rounds after the
initial vitriolic blast attack.
Wall of Perilous Flame
5th
You can conjure a wall of fire as
the spell with this invocation.
Half the wall’s fire damage
results from supernatural power
and is therefore not subject to
being reduced by resistance to
fire. If a creature is reduced to 0
hit points or lower by a wall of
perilous flame, its remains are
completely consumed 1 round
later (as if by a destruction spell).
Warlock’s Call
5th
You can use this invocation to
send a message as the sending
spell. However, a creature
unwilling to reply to you can
attempt a Will save to turn the
sending back on you, dealing
1d10 points of damage to you.
Dark Warlock Invocations
Binding Blast
7th; Eldritch Essence
You transform your eldritch blast
into a binding blast. Any creature
struck by a binding blast must
succeed on a Will save or be
stunned for 1 round. This is a
mind-affecting effect.
Caster's Lament
8th
You can produce a break
enchantment effect (as the spell)
with your touch. You can only
attempt to affect any single
magical effect—an ongoing spell,
a permanent transformation, a
magic item, or the like—once per
24-hour period. In addition, you
can use casters lament to
counterspell another caster's
spell (of 7th level or lower) as if
casting greater dispel magic.
Dark Discorporation
8th
One with the powers of darkness,
you learn to abandon your body.
When you use this ability, you
become a swarm of Diminutive,
batlike shadows that fills two 10-
foot squares (or eight contiguous
5-foot squares, shapeable as you
desire). The duration of this
ability is 24 hours.
In this swarmlike form, you gain
the following characteristics and
traits.
• Abilities: Your Strength score
drops to 1, but your Dexterity
score increases by 6.
• Armor Class: You lose any
natural armor or armor
bonuses to Armor Class. You
gain a +4 size bonus to AC,
and a deflection bonus to AC
equal to your Charisma
modifier.
• Movement: You gain a fly
speed of 40 feet with perfect
maneuverability. You can
pass through openings a
Diminutive creature could
pass through.
• Swarm Traits: You are not
subject to critical hits or
flanking, and you are immune
to weapon damage. You
cannot be tripped, grappled,
or bull rushed, and you
cannot grapple an opponent.
You are immune to any spell
or effect that targets a
specific number of creatures,
except for mind-affecting
spells and abilities. You take
half again as much damage
(+50%) from spells or effects
that affect an area. Unlike
other swarms of Diminutive
creatures, you are not
vulnerable to wind effects. If
reduced to 0 hit points or
less, or rendered unconscious
by nonlethal damage, you
instantly return to your
normal form in a square of
your choice that was
formerly covered by the
swarm.
• Swarm Attack: You gain a
swarm attack that deals 4d6
points of damage to any
creature whose space you
occupy at the end of your
turn. Your swarm attack
strikes as a magic weapon of
your alignment.
• Distraction: Any living
creature vulnerable to your
swarm attack that begins its
turn in a square occupied by
your swarm must make a
Fortitude save or be
nauseated for 1 round.
Spellcasting or concentrating
on spells within the area of
your swarm requires a
Concentration check (DC 20 +
spell level).
• Possessions: All of your worn
or carried equipment and
items become nonfunctional,
absorbed into your new
form.
You can take only move actions
(so you cannot use other
invocations) while under the
effect of dark discorporation.
Dark Foresight
9th
You can use foresight as the spell
with this invocation. If you are
within 100 feet of and have line
of sight to the target of the
ability, you can communicate
telepathically with the target.
Eldritch Doom
8th; Blast Shape
This blast shape invocation allows
you to invoke your eldritch blast
as the dreaded eldritch doom.
This causes bolts of mystical
power to lash out and savage
nearby targets. An eldritch doom
deals eldritch blast damage to
any number of targets
designated by you and within 20
feet. This is not a ray attack, so it
requires no ranged touch attack.
Each target can attempt a Reflex
save for half damage.
Impenetrable Barrier
7th
You can conjure a wall of force as
the spell with this invocation. The
wall is black and blocks sight of
all kind. You can only have one
impenetrable barrier in effect at
a time, if you use the invocation a
second time before the duration
of the first expires, the previous
wall disappears. If your barrier is
destroyed (such as by a rod of
cancellation, a sphere of
annihilation, a disintegrate spell,
or a Mordenkainen's disjunction
spell), you take 1d10 points of
damage.
Incarnum Shroud
8th
Your incarnum shroud grants you
concealment (20% miss chance)
from all attackers, though you do
not suffer any miss chance
against others because of this
invocation. You gain 1 point of
essentia when this invocation is
in effect. The duration of the
invocation is 24 hours. You can
invest essentia in this invocation
once per day as if it were an
incarnum feat. Every point of
essentia invested in your
incarnum shroud invocation
grants you a +1 insight bonus to
your Armor Class and on your
Fortitude saving throws. Once
the amount of essentia invested
is chosen, it cannot be altered
and remains invested for 24
hours. If your incarnum shroud is
dispelled during this time, the
essentia investment remains in
place, taking effect once again
when you activate the
invocation.
Path of Shadow
6th
This invocation allows you to use
shadow walk as the spell. Each
hour that you spend shadow
walking with this ability, you
regain hit points as if you had
rested for a full day.
Retributive Invisibility
6th
You can use greater invisibility as
the spell, but you can target only
yourself with the invocation. If
your retributive invisibility is
dispelled, a shock wave releases
from your body in a 20-foot-
radius burst. This shock wave
deals 4d6 points of sonic damage
to all creatures in the area and
stuns them for 1 round (a
Fortitude save halves the damage
and negates the stunning effect).
Steal Summoning
6th
You can use steal summoning as
the spell.
Utterdark Blast
8th; Eldritch Essence
This eldritch essence invocation
allows you to change your
eldritch blast into an utterdark
blast. An utterdark blast deals
negative energy damage, which
heals undead creatures instead
of damaging them (much like
inflict spells). Any creature struck
by the attack must make a
Fortitude save or gain two
negative levels. The negative
levels fade after 1 hour. If a
target ever has as many negative
levels as Hit Dice, it dies.
Word of Changing
5th
You utter a powerful word that
transforms a creature into an
inoffensive form. This effect
functions like the baleful
polymorph spell, except that 24
hours after being transformed,
the subject is entitled to a second
saving throw (at its original save
bonus) to spontaneously resume
its normal form. If this second
save fails, it remains in its new
form permanently or until
restored by some other means.
Dragonfire Adept
Least Draconic Invocations
Aquatic Adaption
2nd
When you use this invocation,
you gain the ability to breathe
underwater. You also gain a swim
speed equal to your base land
speed. Your breath weapon
functions normally underwater
regardless of its effect. The
invocation's effect lasts 24 hours.
Beguiling Influence
2nd
You can invoke this ability to
beguile and bewitch your foes.
You gain a +6 bonus on Bluff,
Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks
for 24 hours.
Breath of the Night
1st
A misty cloud of fog spreads in a
20-foot radius around you, as the
spell fog cloud. The fog does not
block line of sight, but all
creatures in the fog have
concealment. A moderate wind
or any fire larger than a torch
immediately disperses the fog.
Otherwise, the fog disperses on
its own after 1 minute.
Darkness
2nd
You can create magical darkness,
as the darkness spell.
Deafening Roar
2nd
You utter a loud roar that fills a
30-foot cone. All creatures within
this area that fail a Fortitude save
become deafened for 1 hour.
Draconic Knowledge
2nd
This invocation gives you access
to the great ancestral memories
of dragonkind. You gain a +6
bonus on Knowledge and
Spellcraft checks for a period of
24 hours, and such checks are
treated as though you are trained
even if you have no ranks in the
skill.
Endure Exposure
3rd
With a touch, you grant a
creature (or yourself) the ability
to withstand hot or cold
environments as if affected by
the endure elements spell. In
addition, the target is immune to
any effects of your breath
weapon. This invocation's effect
lasts for 24 hours.
Magic Insight
2nd
You can use detect magic as the
spell. While the invocation is
active, you can end the effect as
a full-round action to determine
all properties of a single touched
item (as the identify spell, but
with no components required).
Scalding Gust
2nd
You create a strong blast of wind
(as the gust of wind spell, except
that the duration is
instantaneous). Any creature
within the effect takes 1 point of
fire damage per caster level,
regardless of whether it succeeds
on the Fortitude save to avoid
the gust.
See the Unseen
2nd
You grant yourself great powers
of vision, allowing you to see
invisible creatures and objects, as
the see invisibility spell. You also
gain darkvision out to 60 feet for
24 hours.
Lesser Draconic Invocations
Charm
4th
You can beguile a creature within
60 feet. The creature must
succeed on a Will save or
instantly regard you as its
comrade. This is a language-
dependent ability. Other than
these differences, this ability
works as the charm monster
spell. You can never have more
than one target charmed at a
time with this ability. If a second
creature is charmed, you lose
your hold on the first creature.
Draconic Flight
3rd
When you use this invocation,
you sprout spectral wings
resembling those of a dragon.
You can fly at a speed equal to
your land speed with good
maneuverability for 24 hours.
Your wings allow you to cover
overland distances with great
endurance; you gain a +4 bonus
on Constitution checks made to
avoid nonlethal damage from a
forced march.
Energy Resistance
3rd
You gain resistance 10 to acid,
cold, electricity, fire, or sonic
damage for 24 hours. Choose the
energy type when you use the
invocation, if you use this
invocation again while the first
duration is still active, the new
resistance replaces the old one.
Enthralling Voice
6th
Your speech causes all enemies
within a 40-foot radius of you
who fail a Will save to become
fascinated. To be affected,
targets must have Hit Dice equal
to or less than your caster level
and must be able to hear you,
but you need not share a
common language. Affected
targets remain fascinated for as
long as you continue to speak
and concentrate on the effect (up
to a maximum of 1 round per
level), plus 5 rounds thereafter.
Even after the effect ends, any
creature that failed its Will save
regards you in a better light than
it did previously. Its attitude to
you is adjusted one step toward
friendly (see Influencing NPC
Altitudes, Player’s Handbook
page 72) for the next 24 hours.
Multiple uses of this invocation
do not further adjust the
attitude. This is a mind-affecting
effect.
Frightful Presence
3rd
In any round in which you attack
or use your breath weapon, you
can use this invocation as a swift
action. Any enemies within 30
feet of you who fail a Will save
become shaken for 10 minutes.
This is a mind-affecting fear
effect. Dragons and other
creatures immune to the frightful
presence of dragons are likewise
immune to this invocation.
Humanoid Shape
3rd
You can assume any humanoid
form, as the change shape special
ability (Monster Manual page
306). You can remain in the form
for up to 24 hours or until you
take a standard action to assume
a new form or return to your
natural form.
Voidsense
4th
You sharpen your hearing and
sight, gaining blindsense out to
30 feet for 24 hours.
Voracious Dispelling
4th
You can use dispel magic as the
spell. Any creature with an active
spell effect dispelled by this
invocation takes 1 point of
damage per level of the spell
effect (no save).
Walk Unseen
2nd
You gain the ability to fade from
view. You can use invisibility (self
only) as the spell, except that the
duration is 24 hours.
Greater Draconic Invocation
Aura of Flame
6th
You become wreathed in an aura
of orange fire, which gives off
light equivalent to a torch. Any
creature striking you with a
natural weapon or a nonreach
melee weapon takes a number of
points of fire damage equal to
your caster level. If the attacker
has spell resistance, it applies to
this effect.
Baleful Geas
6th
You place a magical command on
a living creature to carry out a
service or to refrain from an
action or course of activity, as
you desire. The creature's Hit
Dice must be no more than your
class level. Twenty-four hours
after the target becomes affected
by this invocation, it takes 1d4
points of Strength damage; this
damage repeats every 24 hours
thereafter. If the target's
Strength is reduced to 0, the
invocation immediately ends.
Creatures immune to Strength
damage instead take 2d4 points
of damage every 24 hours. This
invocation otherwise functions as
the geas/quest spell.
Chilling Fog
6th
You create a cold magical fog, as
the solid fog spell. Each creature
within the area takes 2d6 points
of cold damage at the start of its
turn. You can have only one
chilling fog in place at a time;
creating a second chilling fog
automatically dismisses any
chilling fog you previously
created.
Devour Magic
6th
You can deliver a targeted
greater dispel magic with your
touch, gaining 5 temporary hit
points for each spell level
dispelled. For example, if you
successfully dispel a wall of ice,
you gain 20 temporary hit points.
These temporary hit points fade
after 1 minute and do not stack
with other temporary hit points.
It you devour a new spell, you
can replace the old temporary hit
points with the hit points gained
from the more recent spell, thus
resetting the duration. You
cannot devour your own
invocations.
Draconic Toughness
5th
You gain temporary hit points
equal to your caster level. These
hit points last for 24 hours or
until you use the invocation again
(in which case any remaining
temporary hit points are replaced
by the new value).
Terrifying Roar
5th
You utter a powerful roar that
fills a 30-foot cone. All creatures
within the area whose Hit Dice
are equal to or less than your
caster level become panicked for
1 round. Any creature that
succeeds on a Will save is shaken
for 1 round instead, during which
time it cannot make a melee or
ranged attack against you, nor
target you with a spell or other
effect. This is a mind-affecting
fear effect.
Wingstorm
5th
You must have either draconic
flight or greater draconic flight
active in order to use this
invocation. Your spectral wings
create a storm of winds around
you, pushing away and knocking
down nearby creatures. All
creatures within 20 feet of you
are pushed away until they are at
least 25 feet away and then
knocked prone. A successful
Fortitude save negates the effect;
creatures more than one size
category larger than you are
immune. If an affected creature
encounters an obstacle (such as a
wall or another creature), both it
and the obstacle each take 2d6
points of damage (as if they had
fallen 20 feet).
Dark Draconic Invocations
Draconic Flight, Greater
7th
As draconic flight, except that
your fly speed is 30 feet faster
than your land speed, and your
maneuverability is perfect.
Energy Immunity
8th
You gain immunity to acid, cold,
electricity, fire, or sonic damage
for 24 hours. Choose the energy
type when you use the
invocation. If you use this
invocation again while the first
duration is still active, the new
immunity replaces the old one.
Instill Vulnerability
7th
You imbue a single creature
within 30 feet with vulnerability
to a particular type of energy
(acid, cold, electricity, fire, or
sonic). A successful Fortitude
save negates the effect;
creatures that have immunity to
the chosen energy type
automatically succeed on the
saving throw to resist this effect.
The vulnerability lasts for 24
hours or until you use the
invocation on the creature a
second time, in which case the
first effect ends and the new
vulnerability and duration take
effect.
Perilous Veil
7th
You instantly change the
appearance of one or more
subjects, as the veil spell. Any
creature that succeeds on a Will
save to disbelieve (and thus see
through) the glamer takes 5d6
points of damage. Spell
resistance applies against this
secondary effect.
