The Forever Blind (5e Subclass)
The Forever Blind
Warlock Subclass
You have made a pact with an extraplanar entity formed of and fueled by the fears of mortals; your patron is associated with the primordial fear of darkness and the unknown. This entity is usually unable or unwilling to influence the material plane beyond granting supernatural abilities to those it believes will provide even more fear that it may feed on. If it has chosen you, it either believes you will make the fear of the dark widespread, or that you yourself will develop into a source of this fear.
- Expanded Spell List
The Forever Blind lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st level | sleep, fog cloud |
2nd | blindness/deafness, blur |
3rd | blink, nondetection |
4th | greater invisibility, phantasmal killer |
5th | mislead, hallow |
- The Eyes of the Shadows
Starting at 1st level, you are permanently blinded and gain blindsight out to 40 feet. This range increases by 20 feet every time you gain a feature of this subclass, and while you are in darkness.
- Pitch
By 6th level, you have started to meld with the darkness, and shadows stick and cling to you no matter how bright it is. For 1 round after being in darkness, you are treated as though you were still in darkness.
- Still and Lightless
Starting at 10th level, your very existence dulls the senses of other creatures. While in darkness, you are completely silent and making an attack no longer ends the invisible condition.
- Dark Star
Starting at 14th level, you may use an action to cast sunbeam or sunburst at their minimum levels; this expends spell slot. Spells cast this way create darkness instead of light in their ranges, and deal psychic damage in place of radiant. You must complete a long rest to use this feature again.
Your Pact Boon
Each Pact Boon option produces a special creature or an object that reflects your patron's nature.
Pact of the Chain.Your familiar is melanistic and rarely vocalizes. It may have the default form of a nocturnal animal, such as an owl or bat.
Pact of the Blade.The weapon of a servant of the Forever Blind might absorb light across its surface, or make less sound than it should when striking other objects.
Pact of the Tome.Your tome could be completely black, appearing as though soaked in ink and readable only by creatures with blindsight.
