Otherworldly Patron
Comments from the Finger: I realized today that my cat is basically a warlock patron.
The Feline
Your patron, for all intents and purposes, is a cat. Fickle and demanding, it insists on your attention, affection, and offerings of food and milk. Your patron is easily bored, so once sated, your patron leaves you with your otherworldly powers until it again returns for you.
In ages long past, dead empires worshipped these special cats as gods, for their charm and the zeal of their warlocks enthralled many to their power. Now, only a few recognize their nobility as a source of arcane might, and fewer still can court a Feline’s attention for long enough to secure a warlock’s pact.

Land on Feet
Starting at 1st level, your patron bestows upon you a cat’s uncanny ability to land gracefully. If you aren’t incapacitated, you don’t take damage from falling 30 feet or less.
Cat Scratch
At 1st level, your patron has granted you razor-sharp arcane claws, which usually lie retracted underneath your fingers. You can use your claws to make unarmed strikes, and can use Dexterity instead of Strength for their attack and damage rolls. If you hit with your claws, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice), instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Additionally, as a reaction when you take damage from a creature within 5 feet of you, you can make a melee attack against this creature using your claws.
Hiss
At 6th level, as a reaction when you take damage from a creature within 5 feet of you, you can ferociously hiss. The next two attacks that the creature makes before the end of its turn are made with disadvantage.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Evasion
Beginning at 10th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or an ice storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Cat’s Meow
At 14th level, you can speak in the language of your Feline master, enthralling those nearby with your song. Each creature you choose within 15 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a failed save, it is charmed by you for 1 minute or until your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell).
On each of your turns, you can use your bonus action to command a creature you have charmed by this ability to use its reaction to move up to half its movement speed to a location that you choose or take an action of your choice. This action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon Attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Eldritch Invocations
In your study of occult lore, you have unearthed eldritch invocations, fragments of forbidden knowledge that imbue you with an abiding magical ability.
At 2nd level, you gain two eldritch invocations of your choice. Your invocation options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain warlock levels, you gain additional invocations of your choice.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the invocations you know and replace it with another invocation that you could learn at that level. A level prerequisite in an invocation refers to warlock level, not character level.
Eldritch Claw
Prerequisite: 5th level
When you cast a cantrip that requires one or more ranged spell attacks, you can make melee spell attacks instead.
Nine Lives
Prerequisite: 15th level
Your patron has embraced your soul, protecting you from death. Whenever you are required to make death saving throws, you do not die until you fail 9 rolls (you still stabilize upon succeeding on three rolls).
Changelog: Hiss reworked: Now happens as a reaction to taking damage and causes disadvantage on two attack rolls
