The Beast King (5e Subclass)
The Beast King
Warlock Subclass
Your patron is an extremely powerful bestial or monstrous entity who lords over nature. Such beings strive for the preservation of nature, the reclamation of developed lands, and the destruction of aberrations and undead. Entities powerful enough to forge such a pact might be titan, such as a kraken or tarrasque, a primordial dinosaur, or even a beastly avatar of a deity of animals or nature.

At 10th level, your patron wards you against nature. Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard. In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such as those created by the entangle spell.

At 14th level, your patron grants you protection afforded to only the of the toughest of predators. You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
