Otherwordly Patron:

The Revenant Soul

T
he souls of the dead, eternally damned to
wander the afterlife in despair, are an
endless reminder of mortality's cruelty.
Some souls carry a will unshackled by
death, and so they linger in the mortal
realm. These souls seek a living host,
whether willing or on the verge of death,
to possess and use to fulfill their unfinished goals in life.
The soul of an army veteran would seek to reunite with their
lost family. A wizard's soul would exact revenge on a school
that backstabbed him. The goals of this soul mingle with the
mortal host, and both become a force of will and vengeance.
A bond of life and death, two souls in one body, now walking
and fighting together as a Revenant.

Eldritch Invocations
At 2nd level, a warlock gains the Eldritch Invocations feature.
Here are new options for that feature, in addition to the
options in Player's Handbook and Xanathar's Guide to
Everything. If an eldritch invocation has a prerequisite, you
must meet it to learn the invocation. You can learn the invo-
cation at the same time that you meet its prerequisite. A level
prerequisite refers to your level in this class. The invocations
are arranged in alphabetical order. All invocations marked
with a * require the player options found in Xanathar's Guide
to Everything.
Dark Faith
You learn the Guidance and Thaumaturgy cantrips. They now
count as a warlock cantrips for you and don't count against
your number of cantrips known.
Eldritch Transfusion*
Prerequisite: 9th level
You can cast the Life Transference spell using a warlock spell
slot. You can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
Grave Minion
Prerequisite: 9th level, Pact of the Chain feature
All familiars summoned by you become immune to poison
damage as well as the poisoned condition. Additionally, your
familiar learns the Chill Touch cantrip. Charisma is its
spellcasting ability for it.
Grave Revelations
Prerequisite: 5th level, Pact of the Tome feature
Whenever you kill a creature that has the spellcasting
feature, you can choose a 1st level spell the creature could
cast and add it to your Book of Shadows as part of your list of
learned spells. This spell doesn't count against your list of
learned spells. You can cast this spell once per long rest
using a warlock spell slot as long as the Book of Shadows is
in your possession. You can only have one spell stored in this
way at a time. You must have knowledge of the creature's
spellcasting capability to use this feature. Using this feature
again on a different creature overwrites the previously
learned spell, replacing it from your list of spells with the new
one. You lose the spell if you re-summon your Book of
Shadows or if the creature comes back to life.
Grave Weapon
Prerequisite: 12th level, Pact of the Blade feature
Creatures killed with your pact weapon cannot be brought
back from the dead, unless by means of a wish spell.
Additionally, undead struck with your pact weapon must
make a Charisma saving throw against your Spell save DC.
On a failure, they have disadvantage on Constitution saving
throws for 1 minute.
Spectral Blast
Prerequisite: 9th level, Eldritch Blast cantrip
You now deal an additional +2 necrotic damage with eldritch
blast. Additionally, damaged creatures must make a
Charisma saving throw against your Spell save DC. On a
failure, the creature's AC is reduced by 1 for 1 minute. On
success, it becomes immune to this effect for the next 24
hours. This effect can only be applied once per creature.
