Career
Qualifications
You must have a Charisma score of 13 or higher to enter this class.
Career Progression
Level 1 - You must start by choosing which otherworldly being you struck your bargain with to gain your powers: Archfey, Celestial, Fiend, Great Old One, Hexblade, or Undying.
You know Pact Magic. This gives you 2 level 1 spell slots. As you level up you may choose to either add additional level 1 spells or upgrade an existing spell slot to a higher level.
Level 2 - You learn Eldritch Invocations. You learn 2 at level 2 and learn an addition invocation with every level you gain. You may also choose to replace one invocation with another at each level as well.
Level 3 - You learn Pact Boon in which your otherworldly patron bestows a gift upon you for your loyal service. Your choices are:
Pact of the Blade: allows you to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form this weapon takes each time you create it and you are automatically proficient with it. It counts as magical in terms of resistance and additional attack. Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you. Once the weapon disappears you must wait 1 hour before summoning it again.
Pact of the Chain: You learn the Find Familiar spell and cast it as a ritual. This doesn't count against the number of spells you know. Your familiar also gains a special form in addition to its normal form: imp, pseudodragon, quasit, or sprite. You can trade one of your attacks each turn to allow your familiar to attack instead.
Pact of the Tome: Your patron gives you the grimoire called Book of Shadows. This gives you three additional level 1 spells from any class's spell list. These do not count against your number of spells known. If you lose your grimoire you can perform a 1 hour ritual to replace the previous book. The grimoire turns to ash when you die.
