The Alien God (5e Subclass)

Alien God Patron

Warlock Subclass

The distant stars conceal many secrets. Not all of them are safe for the mortal mind and not all of them wish to cause harm. The goals of many of the entities inhabiting the far corners of space are incomprehensible. For better or worse, an Alien God has turned his attention to you. It doesn't matter how an Alien god made you his disciple. You could search for information about extraplanar beings and get him interested in you. Or maybe you just died and got a simple deal: life for a seemingly trivial thing. Now you have become an Disciple of this Entity. Observe. Study. The Alien god will take care of the rest.

Alien Blessing

At 1st level, choose a part of your body, this part can be used as arcane focus for your spells, the options are: Arms, Legs, Chest or Head Your God gives you messages directly through your body part (you will hear his voice if you chose head or chest, if you chose arms or legs, you will have a message written on your limb made of stars and planets aligning themselves and only you can understand these messages).

The alien God keeps you alive and well at all costs. Even at the cost of violating certain laws of the universe. From now on and forever you don't need to eat or drink, air is no longer required to maintain your vital functions, Your aging stops at the average life expectancy of your race and cannot die from it and such effects. Moreover, if you lose a part of your body or die, in a course of 24 hours, your body will regenerate itself back. However, the ability to resurrect is limited to the number of times equal to your modifier Charisma. After that, it takes a year to restore this ability. You choose the place of resurrection yourself. You can also mark a consonant being and leave an invisible mark on it. This mark can be detected using spells similar to Magic Detection. In the event of your death, you will be resurrected in an unoccupied space within 5 ft of this creature. This is a very difficult experience and after resurrection you will make all the dice rolls with disandvantage until you finish a long rest. (You can ignore the effects of a long rest to bring forward 16 hours of this waiting time, if you only lost a body part).

Planar Equipment

At 1st level, when you take a long rest, you can take one weapon that you are proficient and make an astral connection with it, it now is counted as a Planar Weapon, it now can use your Charisma modifier instead of Dexterity or Strength also you can choose the type of damage from radiant damage, necrotic damage and it's normal damage. In a long rest you can change your Planar Weapon with another weapon you have proficiency, making the older one lost the effect of this feature. (Also the antimagic field has no effect on it).

The Alien God has provided you with armour so strong that it can only be broken by wish spell and the antimagic field has no effect on it, during a long rest, you can turn armour that you have proficiency into your Planar Armour, if it is magic armour, it will not lose its magic effects. You can also change the Damage type of your eldritch blast to match your Planar Armour damage resistance (in the case of Force damage, you can ignore Resistance of creatures to Force Damage).

Planar Armour is a light armour that has an AC 15 + Charisma modifier, you can summon and dismiss this armor with an action, when wearing this armor you become resistant to the types of damage selected from the options offered below, and you choose its appearance yourself. (On a short rest, you can change the types of resistances or you can do it with an action by spending one of your warlock spell cells).

• 1st Level

  • Slashing damage
  • Bludgeoning damage
  • Piercing damage

• 6th Level

  • Fire damage
  • Lightning damage
  • Poison damage
  • Cold damage

• 10th

  • Radiant damage
  • Necrotic damage
  • Thunder damage

• 14th Level

  • Psychic damage
  • Force damage

• Note: You can own 2 resistance options at levels 1 - 10. You choose what kind of resistance it will be. Starting from levels 10, you can choose any 3 resistances. At level 14, you can take the previous 3 options and choose one of the options for levels 14 & 16 - one of these resistance options becomes constant and cannot be changed. However, there is a price to pay for such power. Your patron's reality-distorting power only allows you to have resistances gained from this armor. (Any racial resistances and immunities to damage and resistances gained from magic items will be lost).

The Essence of the Alien Order

At the 6th level, you took a big step in getting closer to your patron. Your patron has granted you his protection from other universal forces of good and evil, so that you can resist the usual order of the universe.

Now your kind of creature becomes "Other being" and you ignore all effects that require a specific type of creature. Also spells like detect evil and good or Paladin Divine Sense can detect you and they are able to sense your alienness to this world. It can stand out in different ways. Some will feel nausea or a slight headache, while some will feel a strange otherworldly cold.

• Now you are under the effect of the protection from evil and good spell, this effect can only be suppressed by the wish spell.

• You also get one additional invocation.

Distortion of Reality

By 10th level, the Alien God has provided you with some more of its reality bending power.

You can activate an aura up to 15 feet high around you, this aura can look like anything: like a part of space that revolves around you, as well as planets, stars, comets and everything else moving in perfect harmony, etc. Each creature you choose within this aura receives a penalty equal to your modifier Charisma to any saving throw.

The duration of this feature last for a 1 hour. This feature is recharged with a short rest.

Apostle

At 14th level, You have reached the limit in worshiping an Alien god. Now you stop being a simple disciple and become an Apostle, a harbinger that can shake the foundations of world and civilization.

Now, you can extend your protection from evil and good to humanoids. While this bonus is active, you receive half of the damage from any source inflicted by these types of creatures. You can do this the number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) All uses are recharged after a long rest. This feature lasts for 1 hour.

Star of Destruction

At 14th level, you can create a sphere of distorting energy with a radius of 60 feet. Any creature/object in this area is required to make a Charisma saving throw or receive force damage equal to 8d12. This damage cannot be reduced in any way. Any achievement of civilization, such as constructs, non-wearable objects and structures, automatically fails the saving throw and receives double damage.

Once you use this feature you are cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.

Note: You can choose only one of these level 14 features.

Unique Eldritch Invocations

Starlight (Prerequisite: The Alien God Patron)

You learn to magically ward yourself against attack and to turn an enemy's failed strike into good luck for yourself. When a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction or bonus action to impose disadvantage on that roll. If the attack misses you, your next attack roll against the creature has advantage if you make it before the end of your next turn.

Astral Arts (Prerequisite: The Alien God Patron, 5th level, This skill is an alternative to the Thirsty Blade and cannot be learned with it.)

Your reflexes and fighting skills have become developed to an extent impossible for a mere mortal.

Whenever you make an attack action with your Planar Weapon, you may make one additional attack as a part of this action. Moreover, you can cast cantrip with a casting time of 1 action instead of one of your weapon attacks.

Astral physiology (Prerequisite: The Alien God Patron, 5th level.)

The influence of your patron changes your and allows to ignore the limitations of your body. From now on, you can use your modifier Charisma for athletics/acrobatics checks. Choose one of it when receiving an invocation.

Voyager of the sea of stars (Prerequisite: The Alien God Patron, 13th level)

The power of your god allows you to break the boundaries of dimensions and move to another plane.

Once in a long rest period, you can cast the "Plane shift" without requiring material components.

However, it is extremely tedious and you get one degree of exhaustion. It is removed according to the usual rules of exhaustion.

Witness the immense horrors (Prerequisite: The Alien God Patron)

You have seen many indescribable horrors. It doesn't matter live or in the form of visions. These nightmares have hardened you and now you are immune to frightened and madness condition.

Alien Endurance (Prerequisite: The Alien God Patron)
