You likely don't know what it is that you've made a pact with, nor if there are any of the terms and conditions which accompany your pact which you would expect, but you do know one thing for certain: Your patron (if you can even call it that) must feed on something, and it's up to you to feed it. If you don't give it what it wants, it will begin to feed on you. ##### Consumption Features | Warlock Level | Spells | |:-------------:|:-------------------------------------------------------:| | 1 | Expanded Spell List, Motes of Energy, Planar Alignment | | 6 | Planar Powers | | 10 | Aligned Resistances | | 14 | Primordial Investiture | #### Expanded Spell List Your pact of consumption 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: \column :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ##### Consumption Expanded Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:-----------:|:----------------------------------------:| | 1 | Bane, Faerie Fire | | 2 | Aid, Blindness/Deafness | | 3 | Blink, Slow | | 4 | Summon Elemental, Sickening Radiance | | 5 | Wall of Light, Enervation | #### Motes of Energy Starting at 1st level, the forces which have embedded themselves inside of you allow you to subsist in abnormal circumstances. You do not need to eat or drink in order to sustain yourself; instead you may subsist by spending 1 *Mote of Energy* per day. You gain Motes of Energy by "consuming" 5 pounds of any organic material in a manner you and your DM agree fits over the course of 5 minutes. If you fail to consume enough material for 3 days, your maximum HP will decrease by 5 and you gain one point of exhaustion for every day you go without consuming. You may spend 1 Mote of Energy to restore your maximum HP, although you do not heal any damage taken. If your maximum HP is reduced to 0 in this way, you die. Additionally, these Motes of Energy can be spent to perform certain actions granted by this subclass at certain levels. The total number of Motes of Energy you can have at a time is equal to your Charisma modifier plus your proficiency bonus (you can have a minimum of 1 Mote of Energy). \page #### Planar Alignment Your pact with a being from the outer planes has allowed you to align yourself with either the Positive or the Negative Planes of Existence: the Positive Plane being pure energy, radiance, and life while the Negative Plane is shrouded in darkness and death. You may take 1 minute to align yourself with either the *Positive* or *Negative* plane, which will allow you to change the ways which you can spend your Motes. At first level, you have three abilities you can spend your Motes of Energy on: * **Planar Shift**: As an action, you may spend 1 Mote of Energy to quickly shift your current alignment to the other Plane. * **Pillar of Brilliance**: While aligned with the Positive Plane, as a bonus action you may spend 1 Mote of Energy to call down a *Pillar of Brilliance*. Each pillar takes up 5 square feet, appears as a solid and opaque pillar of white-hot energy which emits bright light for 30 feet, and is approximately 15 feet tall. It deals 1d4 radiant damage to any creatures (including yourself) standing in an adjacent tile, as well as any creatures which start their turn in or move through this space. You may have a number of Pillars of Brilliance active at one time equal to your Charisma modifier, and they disappear after 1 minute since the last one has been summoned. * **Shroud of Entropy**: While aligned with the Negative Plane, as a bonus action you may spend 1 or more Motes of Energy (up to a maximum of 4) to wreath yourself in a *Shroud of Entropy*, draining anything that comes near you. You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your charisma modifier times the number of Motes spent. Whenever a creature damages you while you have remaining temporary hit points, they must make a constitution saving throw against your warlock spell saving DC. On a failed save, they take necrotic damage equal to those remaining temporary hit points and you regain half the temporary HP lost. Additionally, you may spend a number of Motes of Energy to regain that many hit die in a Short Rest. #### Planar Powers At 6th level, you gain two more ways to spend your Motes of Energy: * **Searing Burst**: While aligned with the Positive Plane, as an action you may spend 2 Motes of Energy to cause a *Searing Burst* in a 10 foot radius sphere within 90 feet of you. All creatures within this sphere must make a Strength saving throw or take 3d6 radiant damage and be pushed 10 feet away from the center of the sphere, taking half as much damage on a save. * **Wellspring of Pressure**: While aligned with the Negative Plane, as an action you may spend 2 Motes of Energy to create a *Wellspring of Pressure* within 90 feet of you, which takes the form of a pitch black 15-foot radius sphere. All creatures within 20 feet of the Wellspring of Pressure must make a Constitution saving throw or take 2d8 necrotic damage and have their movement halved. This wellspring lasts for 1 minute, and any creature which ends its turn within range must repeat the save. #### Aligned Resistances At level 10, while aligned with the Positive Plane, you gain resistance to Radiant damage, and while aligned with the Negative Plane, you gain resistance to Necrotic Damage. #### Primordial Investiture Starting at level 14, if you are aligned with the Positive Plane you may spend 4 Motes of Energy to cast *Investiture of Flame*, dealing an additional 3d8 radiant damage when using the spell's action. If you are aligned with the Negative Plane, you may spend 4 Motes of Energy to cast *Investiture of Ice*, dealing an additonal 3d8 necrotic damage when using the spell's action. {{imageMaskCorner24,--offsetX:48.5%,--offsetY:-50%,--rotation:0 ![Herald of Hadar - Valera Lutfullina](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/294908_c10ee8f68c84416b96f739277c3678b6~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_775,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/294908_c10ee8f68c84416b96f739277c3678b6~mv2.png) {position:absolute,bottom:395px,left:275px,width:5px} }} {{artist,bottom:42px,right:10px ##### Herald of Hadar [Valera Lutfullina (MTG)](https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=527395) }}
