Dark Vessel
A dark vessel has taken in the demonic energies of their patron into their own body. They are cursed beings, and the curses grant them power.
Level 6
Cursed Rage... When you begin your rage, you may apply 1 curse to yourself. Any one curse afflicting you will be applied to anyone hit by one of your melee attack rolls. While raging, you gain an additional +1 to attack and damage rolls for each curse applied to you. You also have a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls and your spell save is increased by 1 for each curse applied to you.
Encroaching Evil... At the beginning of your turn, you may afflict yourself with a curse at random (DM will decide how it is chosen). Then, you may choose one curse afflicting you and become immune to its effects until your next turn.
Curse of the Berserker… The target is under the effect of Reckless Attacks until your next turn. (Melee attacks they make have advantage, enemies have advantage against them.)
Level 7
Devilskin... Whenever an enemy makes contact with you, they will receive one curse afflicting you at random. This can occur through unarmed attacks or actions and spells that have a range of touch. If you grapple an enemy or become grappled, any curse afflicting you will be applied to them until the grapple is broken. In addition, you become resistant to fire, force, and necrotic damage while raging.
Eldritch Enhancement: Recklessness... This cantrip deals double damage, however, you become vulnerable to any damage type you deal this turn, until your next turn. (If you deal fire damage, you become vulnerable to fire, etc.)
Level 8
Pact Bound Body... This feature changes depending on your Demonic Pact.
