Expanded Spell List
Otherworldly Patron
The beings that serve as patrons for warlocks are mighty
inhabitants of other planes of existence—not gods, but
almost godlike in their power. Various patrons give their
warlocks access to different powers and invocations, and
expect significant favors in return. Some patrons collect
warlocks, doling out mystic knowledge relatively freely or
boasting of their ability to bind mortals to their will. Other
patrons be-stow their power only grudgingly, and might
make a pact with only one warlock. Warlocks who serve
the same patron might view each other as allies, siblings,
or rivals.

The Great Wyrm
Your patron is the Great Wyrm, older than ancient and
possessor of power both awesome and terrible. For you to
be beholden of such power is a privelege. The secrets you
have learned from the Great Wyrm have bestowed upon
you great powers, and as you learn more from your patron,
the might of your patron's will entwines itself upon your
very being.
The Great Wyrm 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.
Great Wyrm Expanded Spells
Spell Level Spells
1st feather fall, fog cloud
Nystul's magic aura, scorching ray
2nd
3rd water breathing, protection from energy
4th control water, ice storm
5th cloudkill, legend lore
Breath Weapon
At 1st level you gain a breath weapon useable once on
your attack action. After your attack action, roll a 1d6. On a
success of 5 or 6, your breath weapon recharges and can
be used on your next turn. If your roll is unsuccessful, you
must wait 1 minute before you can use your breath
weapon.
Each time you use your breath weapon, you can choose
whether it takes the form of a 15-foot cone or a 30-foot
line. This breath weapon deals 1d6 points of force
damage. A successful Dexterity save halves the damage.
The DC for the roll is equal to your warlock spell save DC.
As you gain more levels, your breath attack deals more
damage. At 5th level your breath attack deals 2d6 force
damage, 3d6 force damage at 11th level, and 4d6 force
damage at 17th level.
Your patron has allowed that some invocations that
affect eldritch blast can also affect your breath weapon,
though some of these invocations have minor changes
made to suit your breath weapon attacks. As you gain
warlock class levels, more breath effect invocations
become available to you when you meet their
prerequisites.
Great Resistance
The Great Wyrm has grown beyond the elemental forces
that governs a dragon's existence and has imparted some
of that ability onto you. At 6th level, when you finish a short
rest, choose a damage type from acid, cold, fire, lightning,
or poison. You gain resistance to your chosen damage type
until the end of your next short rest or long rest, whichever
occurs first.
Dreadful Presence
At 10th level you gain advantage on saving throws against
the frightful presence of dragons, and your patron bestows
upon you a lesser version of frightful presence. Your
choice of a maximum amount of creatures within sight
equal to your Charisma modifier must succeed on a
Wisdom saving throw equal to your warlock's spell save
DC or become frightened for 1 minute.
A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of
each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If
a creature's saving throw is a success or the effect ends for
it, the creature is immune to your frightful presence for the
next 24 hours.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Warlock Patron: The Great Wyrm
1
 Essence of the Wyrm
At 14th level, your patron lets you channel a portion of its
innate spellcasting. Choose three spells from the Great
Wyrm expanded spell list. You may cast each of these
spells without expending a spell slot once per long rest.
You may replace your chosen spells and regain use of this
ability at the end of a long rest.
Additionally your patron has granted you the gift of
flight. You have been given access to the wings of the
patron invocation. This invocation doesn't count against
the total number of invocations you can have.
New Invocations
Baleful Shriek
prerequisites: 9th level, breath weapon
When you use your breath weapon, you may choose to
instead deal necrotic or thunder damage.
Breath of the Elements
prerequisites: 3rd level, breath weapon
When you make a breath weapon attack, you may choose a
different element damage type for your attack damage.
Your options include acid, cold, fire, lightning, and poison.
The DC for cold and poison attacks is a Constitution
saving throw instead of Dexterity. The breath weapon for
cold and poison damage is mandatorily cone-shaped. A fire
damage-dealing breath weapon can be either a cone or a
line.
Control the Rage
prerequisites: 9th level, breath weapon
Warlock Patron: The Great Wyrm
2
When you use your breath weapon you may create safe
areas within your attack. You may only protect a total of
safe areas equal to your Charisma modifier and you can
only use this ability once per short rest.
Eldritch Spear
The ranges of your cone and line attacks are doubled.
Paralyzing Breath
prerequisites: 9th level
Your may use your breath weapon attack to cast hold monster
using a spell slot. You can't do so again until you finish a long
rest.
Puff of Smoke
prerequisites: 9th level, breath weapon
Once per short rest, your breath weapon takes the form of a
20 foot radius cloud instead of a line- or cone-shape.
Repelling Blast
prerequisite: 6th level, breath weapon
If using this invocation in accompaniment with a breath
weapon, it must be a line attack.
Wings of the Patron
prerequisites: 14th level
You gain the ability to sprout a pair of wings from your back,
gaining a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can
create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last
until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.
Your wings are appropriate in type to your patron. You might
have insect-like wings for the Archfey, leathery or fur-covered
wings for the Fiend, bare-skinned or a combination of skin-
types for the Great Old One, or dragon wings for the Great
Wyrm. The coloration of your wings is entirely up to you.
You can’t manifest your wings while wearing armor unless
the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not
made to accommodate your wings is destroyed when you
manifest them.
