# Otherworldly Patron: The Kraken # Pact of the Appendage

### Otherworldly Patron: The Kraken *** Your patron is the mighty Kraken, a monstrosity born of the mysterious, abyssal regions of the deep sea. This entity is the wrath of the ocean made manifest, and fleets of sea vessels and entire coastal towns have been dragged to the briney depths for reasons known only to this titantic force of nature. Its motives for leaving survivors in its wake are enigmatic at best, and even more mysterious is why it chooses to vest certain individuals with infinitesemal fractions of its surging might.
##### Kraken Features | Warlock Level | Feature | |:-----------:|:-------------| | 1st | Expanded Spell List, Bonus Cantrips, Grip of the Master | | 6th | Overwhelming Undertow | | 10th | Body of Water | | 14th | Mastery of Sea and Sky |
#### Expanded Spell List *** The Kraken lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
##### Kraken Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:-----------:|:-------------| | 1st | * Create/Destroy Water; Thunderwave * | | 2nd | * See Invisibility; Warding Wind * | | 3rd | * Call Lightning; Tidal Wave * | | 4th | * Control Water; Evard's Black Tentacles * | | 5th | * Control Winds; Maelstrom * |
#### Bonus Cantrips *** At 1st level, you learn the * Shape Water * and * Shocking Grasp * cantrips. They count as warlock cantrips for you, but they don't count against your number of cantrips known.
#### Grip of the Master *** At 1st level, your Patron grants you a pair of tentacles that sprout from your shoulders. These tentacles are natural weapons with the reach and light properties. Attacking with a tentacle deals bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 plus your charisma modifier. This damage scales up to 2d4 at 5th level, 3d4 at 11th level, and 4d4 at 17th level. When you strike a creature with a tentacle attack, you may use your reaction to grapple them. When grappling you may make Charisma (Athletics) checks in place of Strength (Athletics) checks. If you grapple the same creature with both tentacles, they are considered restrained.

#### Overwhelming Undertow *** Starting at 6th level, you may call upon the sea to aid you in times of need. If you're attacked, you may, as a reaction, conjure a massive wave of water that crashes out in a 15 foot radius, centered on you. This effect forces creatures away from you, and any creatures in that area are pushed to the edge of the radius, if possible. Additionally, those struck by the wave must make a strength save equal to your warlock spell save DC or be knocked prone, as well. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
#### Body of Water *** Starting at 10th level, you grow accustomed to the conditions of the stormy seas your master brings. You gain the following benefits: - You gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. - You are unaffected by difficult terrain. - You gain the ability to breathe underwater and a swim speed equal to twice your walking speed.
#### Mastery of the Sea and Sky *** Starting at 14th level, as an action, you can magically summon three bolts of lightning, each of which can strike a target you can see within 120 feet. A target must make a Dexterity saving throw, against your warlock spell save DC, taking 4d10 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest to use it again. Additionally, you may cast * Control Weather * once per day without consuming a spell slot.
\page ### Pact of the Appendage *** Your Patron has bestowed upon you two long appendages that sprout from your back, just below where your arms connect to your torso. They appear to be appropriate to your patron: perhaps clawed, muscular arms for the Fiend; suckered tentacles for the Kraken; or segmented, insectoid pincers for the Great Old One. They are considered natural weapons with the reach and light properties. They each deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 plus your charisma modifier on a hit. This damage scales up to 2d4 at 5th level, 3d4 at 11th level, and 4d4 at 17th level. They may be used to grapple and deliver touch spells. If your otherworldly patron is The Kraken, you will have a total of four tentacles instead of two. With four tentacles, you get advantage on all grapple checks, and you may give up this advantage in order to attempt to restrain up to two creatures of medium size or smaller that are adjacent to each other or incapacitate one creature with all four tentacles.
## Eldritch Invocations If an eldritch invocation has prerequisites, you must meet them to learn it. You can learn the invocation at the same time that you meet its prerequisites.
#### Otherworldy Awareness *** *Pact of the Appendage*
You may strike with each of your pact appendages when you make an attack of opportunity. If you have Grip of the master, you may also strike with each of your tentacles. Any creatures you are grappling with these limbs are freed when you use this feature.
#### Fling *** *Pact of the Appendage; 5th Level*
You can throw a medium-size or smaller opponent that you are grappling with both of your pact appendages as an action. You can throw them a number of feet up to 4 times your charisma modifier, to a minimum of 10 feet. They must make a dexterity check with a DC equal to your spell save DC or take 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every ten feet they were flung. If you throw the target into another creature, that creature must make a dexterity check with a DC equal to your spell save DC, or be knocked prone. If you have both the Pact of the Appendage and Grip of the Master, you may instead throw a single Large-sized or smaller opponent that you are grappling with all four of your tentacles, and they travel a distance up to 6 times your charisma modifier.
#### Lightning Whip *** *Kraken Otherwordly Patron; 5th Level*
As a Bonus Action, you may charge your tentacles with electricity for one minute. Until the effect ends, your tentacle strike damage is increased by 1d6 lightning damage, and any creatures grappled by you take 1d6 lightning damage at the start of each of your turns. Once you use this feature, you may not do so again until you complete a short or long rest.

#### Overcharged *** *Kraken Otherworldly Patron, 7th Level*
When you cast a spell or use an ability that results in lightning damage, you may ignore resistance to lightning damage and deal half damage to foes with immunity to lightning damage.
#### Crushing Grip *** *Pact of the Appendage or Grip of the Master, 11th Level*
Whenever a creature being grappled by your pact appendages and/or tentacles fails an attempt to free themselves, you may attack the creature with every pact appendage and tentacle being used to grapple it as a reaction. You may also use an action to deal this damage to a creature you are grappling.
#### Master's Form *** *Kraken Otherworldly Patron, 15th Level*
As an action, you may magically assume the form of a Lesser Kraken (see statblock below) once per day. You retain your hit points, charisma, intelligence, wisdom, and traits. You may remain in this form for a number of minutes equal to your Warlock level, or until you end the effect as a bonus action. If you are reduced to zero hitpoints, you return to your normal form and are knocked unconcious.
#### Eldritch Storm *** *Kraken Otherworldly Patron; Eldritch Blast Cantrip*
Whenever you cast your * Eldritch Blast * cantrip, you may have it deal lightning or thunder damage instead of force. If you choose lightning, the blast creates a burst of light, and creatures within five feet of you must make a constitution saving throw equal to your warlock spell save DC or have disadvantage on melee attacks against you until your next turn. If you choose thunder, the blast creates a burst of sound that wakes any sleeping creatures within 120 feet of the target.
#### Lash of the Deep Ones *** *Kraken Otherwordly Patron; Pact of the Blade; 7th Level*
If you select a whip as your pact weapon, its damage die becomes d8. If you land a critical hit against a creature, you may choose to force them to make an Intelligence saving throw against your spell save DC. They make this saving throw with disadvantage. On a failure, the creature is affected by a * Phantasmal Force * that provides the illusion that it is deep underwater with no way out. Creatures with water breathing or amphibious may breath normally, although they are still unable to see past the spell. Creatures without these traits begin to drown. Subsequent Investigation checks to discover the illusion are not made with disadvantage.
#### Friends from the Sea *** *Kraken Otherwordly Patron*
If you selected an octopus as your familiar, replace the water breathing trait with amphibious, and it gains a flying speed equal to its swimming speed and treats the air as if it were underwater for all its traits and features. When your octopus uses its ink cloud ability, the ink doesn't obscure your vision. If you selected the Pact of the Chain, you may have a Giant Octopus as your familiar, instead, and it gains the above traits.
