Stand Patron

Stands created by Araki (Creator of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure)

Warlock Subclass

Unlike other "Warlocks" your power comes directly from you, you are your own patron and because of that your powers are generated from your willpower and strong mind, few were those who could manifest a Stand, maybe you have manifested because a relative of yours manifested his and now your family has the right to have one, you were born with a Stand and only now you have the ability to make it emerge, maybe you had a situation of near death because of a magic arrow and now you were brought back but with your Stand starting to manifest itself.
It's up to you, but you will always be Bizarre in the eyes of others, be it for your appearance, your mannerisms or even your way of being, this is what differentiates Stand Warlocks from other Warlocks.

Manifestation of the will!

At Lv1, you are able to manifest your stand (its appearance is up to you), it is an extension of you, have its own sheet, but it has no HP or can be hit by physical damage, only others stand or magic damage can be done at you by your stand, it is able to interact with things and people. thoses with any kind of magical or mental ability are able to see, but those who don't have it, only see a deformation in the shape of your stand moving. your stand acts on your turn, using your actions, reactions, bonus actions (the only thing he can do by himself is to move the 10 feet, without spending your movement and its is another entity separate from you, attacks focused on him do damage to you, but in AOEs you are considered just a single creature)

Stands they can be manifested with a free action, they dont need to eat,drink, sleep or anything.
To manifest (but can only act while the Stand user is conscious. they can interact with the world, in a range of 10fts plus to your movement or your charisma modifier times ten in feet, whichever is greater (example, if you have a charisma of +5, (5x10) + 10 = 60fts.).
You can see, hear and talk by your stand, you can talk to normal people and works just like telepathy (with a range equal to your Stand's Maximum Range) but if theres another Stand User they will hear as well.
You Stand can pass through walls and the like. but Antimagic Field or any kind of repulsor magic will not let you pass. (each wall takes 10fts of your total range that your stand can get away from you)

they use your mental status as physical power, following the order:
Strength = Charisma
Dexterity = Wisdom
Constitution = Intelligence
They dont have a mind of its own, any effect that involves mind (such as magics vicious mockery, sleep, fear and any another effect that requires to your stand have a mind) and has your stand as a target, you must roll and be treated as a target

Any physical test, your stand may be used instead, as long as you have summoned him before and he is no more than 5fts away from you or spend your reaction and it will appear on your side and can be used.
(Your stand attacks are Eldritch blast, everytime is stated "Stand Attack/Stand Damage", is Eldritch blast damage and attacks, its range to attack is also the Eldritch Blast range, all the invocations that affects Eldritch Blast can affect your Stand and Invocations such as Devil's Sight will affect your stand too)
