Warlock Subclass
Your Patron is the last god of the lands of the old faith and the last of his kind. Having power over death and having conquered his domain through the slaughter of other gods and heretics, his goal is clear, to spread his faith and punish the unbelievers. (This subclass is a reference and homage to the video game Cult of The Lamb).

You gain this benefit even if you are wielding a shield.

Fear the Death[edit]

When a creature dies within 30 feet of you and you can see it, as a bonus action, you can cause its corpse to explode with necrotic energy. Enemy creatures within 10 feet of the corpse must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Spell save DC. If they fail, they take 3d10 + your warlock level in necrotic damage and become frightened of you until their next turn. If they pass, they take half as much damage and are not left with the condition.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

● You gain immunity to necrotic damage.
● When an enemy deals damage to you, they must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Spell save DC. If they fail, they will be frightened for 1 minute, and can repeat the save at the start of their turns. This effect can only happen once per creature turn.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
