The Spirit

By August 30, 2015September 18th, 2022Warlock

Otherworldly Patron
Comments from the Finger: You know, I’m always pretty proud of our warlocks. This one’s no exception (though I have no idea if the first feature is super broken or not.)

The Spirit

You made a pact with an entity which dwells on the Ethereal Plane. This creature is no mere ghost, it is a titanous soul whose presence can be felt on the Material Plane.
     Such a Spirit’s motivations are patently unclear. Perhaps it is driven mad by centuries of isolation on the desolate plane, or perhaps it is plotting, calculating revenge against those that wronged it in life in a long game spanning aeons. Whatever its motive, it has granted you powers of the ethereal, allowing you to move between the Planes with greater and greater ease as your powers grow.

Spirit Expanded Spells
1st         detect magic, dissonant whispers
2nd       phantasmal force, see invisibility
3rd        blink, Leomund’s tiny hut
4th        Leomund’s secret chest, phantasmal killer
5th        telekinesis, wall of force

Incorporeal Movement
Beginning when you select this patron at 1st level, you can move through other creatures as if they were difficult terrain. This movement is limited to 5 feet each turn and does not provoke opportunity attacks. You take 2d10 force damage and are shunted to the nearest available space if you end your turn inside a creature or object.
     At 10th level, you can move through objects, in addition to creatures, as difficult terrain.

Ethereal Sight
At 1st level, you can see into the Ethereal Plane within 60 feet of you.

Ethereal Jaunt
At 6th level, as a bonus action, you can magically shift from the plane you currently occupy to the Ethereal Plane for 1 round. You may move no further than 10 feet from where you originated on the Ethereal Plane. After using this ability, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.

Ghost Touch 
Beginning at 10th level, your melee attacks overcome damage reduction against incorporeal undead, such as spectres and wraiths. Additionally, your attacks and spells affect creatures on the Ethereal Plane normally as if they were on the Material Plane.

Ethereal Shunt 
Beginning at 14th level, as an action, you can forcibly move anything from the material plane into the Border Ethereal. Choose either a single object less than 100 cubic feet in volume or a single creature within 5 feet of you. If that creature is unwilling, it must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, it is shunted to the Ethereal Plane (as per the spell etherealness) for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1) or until you lose your concentration (as if concentrating on a spell).
     Once you have used this ability, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.
