The Deep Curse (5e Subclass)
The Deep Curse[edit]
Warlock Subclass
Your "Patron" did not grant you power, you were cursed. Your Patron's power was left on you after you fell into their realm and/or they attempted to kill you. By some uncanny stroke of luck or incredible misfortune, you survived. You now bear untapped eldritch power left by your Patron's assault simply waiting to unleash its true potential. You are permanently changed, bearing blackened veins, black fingers and multiple irises in each eye, creating a horrifying visage of one burned by a Great Old One's magic.
