Warlock Pact Boons (5e Class Feature)
From D&D Wiki
Warlock Pact Boons[edit]
A list of all the homebrew Pact Boons available to Warlocks. Some of these pacts also have invocations, all of which are listed here: warlock invocations.
Pact of the Aegis[edit]
You may use your action to create a set of pact armor this armor appears on your person, fitted perfectly for you. Any armor you were wearing is magically removed and appears at your feet. You are proficient with your pact armor. It always appears as a full-body suit of armor made of some alien material. Your pact armor and its parts disappear if it is more than 5 feet from for 1 minute or more. You may summon part of your armor instead of all of it (like without the helmet, or just the gauntlets), gaining the protective benefits as reasonable. You can create one of three different versions of your pact armor chosen each time you create your pact armor.
- A set of light armor with a base AC of 11 + your Dexterity Modifier.
- A set of medium armor with a base AC of 14 + your Dexterity Modifier (maximum of 2). While wearing this armor, you have disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) skill checks.
- A set of heavy armor with a base AC of 16. While wearing this armor, you have disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) skill checks.
You can transform one set of magic armor into your pact armor by performing a special ritual while you hold or wear the armor. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the armor as a bonus action, shunting it into an extra-dimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact armor thereafter. You can’t affect an artifact or sentient set in this way. The armor ceases being your pact armor if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different armor, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to the set. The armor appears at your feet if it is in the extra-dimensional space when the bond breaks. Your pact armor can be summoned using its selected base AC or the integrated armors AC and you can ignore all Strength requirements and encumbered penalties related to your pact armor. If the integrated armor imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks, your pact armor does as well.

It is a Medium size creature with half as many hit dice as you (round down, uses d8s and always takes average), and a walk speed of 30 ft and its type depends on your otherworldly patron. All its ability scores are 13 and it has the same proficiency bonus as you at all times. It has 12 base AC. Your servant always acts on your initiative and costs you a bonus action to command it. Its appearance is tailored specifically to whatever you would find most appealing.

The servant’s Strength and Constitution scores become 17 instead of 13 and gains proficiency in the Athletics skill and Strength and Constitution saving throws. Additionally, it adds its proficiency bonus to its AC and gains a Strength-based natural melee attack fitting to its form that deals 2d6 bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage.

Its speed increases to 40 feet and it gains the ability to become invisible (as per the invisibility spell) once, being able to do so again after finishing a short or long rest. The scout cannot make attacks.

Furthermore, it is unable to leave an area of 1000 feet from you, and is automatically brought along if you are moved great distances or shifted to another plane. Attempts to move the magical servant outside of the zone (including a different plane from yours) automatically fail, but deal 3d4 force damage to it. You can use your action to perceive through its senses as per the find familiar spell and can communicate telepathically as long as it is on the same plane as you.
Should your magical servant be slain, its essence immediately enters your body and remains there for at least 24 hours regaining its strength.

It remains on you until you die, dismiss it (no action required), or if it is more than 5 feet away from you for more than 1 minute.
You can transform one magic cloak, cowl, cape, or other similar garment into your shroud by performing a special ritual while you hold or wear the armor. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the shroud as a bonus action, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your shroud thereafter. You can’t affect an artifact or sentient item in this way. The garment ceases being your pact shroud if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different garment, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The garment appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.
Pact Invocations[edit]
Pact of the Supporter[edit]
When you finish a short or long rest, you can designate one ally as your bonded ally. You can only have one bonded ally at a time using this feature. You may change your bonded ally when you finish a short or long rest. While you are within 1 mile of your bonded ally, you gain the following benefits:
- When either your bonded ally or you are affected by a positive effect, such as a bless spell, the other receives the same benefits.
- Your bonded ally counts as you for the purpose of triggering spells from you with a casting time of 1 reaction.
- You may use your bonus action to grant your bonded ally advantage on their next ability check.
- You can spend 10 minutes casting a ritual to teleport within 30 feet of your bonded ally or you can perform the ritual to teleport them within 30 feet of you.
- As an action you can see through your bonded ally's eyes and hear what they do. During this time, you are blind and deaf with regard to your own senses.
- While your bonded ally is within 100 feet of you, you can telepathically communicate with them
Pact Invocations[edit]
Pact of Tooth and Claw[edit]
Your patron has bestowed upon you the tooth and claws of the hunter. As an action you can alter your body to create a natural weapon, worthy of the hunt. This weapon can take a variety of forms, from a large maw of razor sharp teeth like a shark, the deadly talons of a graceful owl or even the stinger tail of the scorpion. Regardless of the form, it deals 1d6 slashing, piercing or bludgeoning damage(you choose when you gain this boon) and uses your Strength or Dexterity for its attack and damage rolls and counts as a simple weapon with which you are proficient with.
If you already have a natural weapon from your race when you take this boon(such as a Lizardfolks' Bite, a Tabaxi's Cat Claws or a Centaur's Hooves traits), then its damage die becomes a d6 (unless it's already higher), you gain the option of using your Strength or Dexterity for its attack and damage rolls and it now counts as a simple weapon that you are proficient with.
In addition, your natural weapon counts as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances and immunities to nonmagical attacks and damage.

This item can come in any form of a bag, bucket, vase, or similar item. You can perform a 1 hour ritual to turn the container into a bottomless container. Any previous container loses its bottomless property in a fashion similar to turning a bag of holding inside out before returning to the item it was before.
