[spoiler] [B][SIZE=5][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]Dragon King[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] Only the mightiest of dragons ascend to such power that they become like gods, fewer even bend to notice the mortal beings who plead to share their power, such as Ashadarlon the Red and Borys of Ur Draxa. #### Expanded Spell List |Level|Spell| |:---:|:---| |1st|[I]Command[/I], [I]Thunderwave[/I]| |2nd|[I]Suggestion[/I], [I]See Invisibility[/I]| |3rd|[I]Bestow Curse[/I], [I]Lightning Bolt[/I]| |4th|[I]Polymorph[/I], [I]Stoneskin[/I]| |5th|[I]Cloudkill[/I], [I]Scrying[/I]| #### Fearsome Presence At 1st level, the dread presence of your patron lingers about you like a fearsome cloak. As an action, you cause all foes within 15 feet of you to make a Wisdom save versus your Warlock spell DC. On a failure, the creature is frightened of you. Each round at the end of its turn, the creature can make another save to negate the effect. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you take a short or long rest. #### Cloak of the Dragon At 6th level, you surround yourself in the shimmering manifestation of the dragon lord, its wings protectively enveloping you as it shields you with its body. As a reaction, you can roll 1d10 and either add the result to a saving throw or reduce the damage from an attack by the result's amount. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you take a short or long rest. #### Dragonhide Starting at 10th level, you can choose one damage type when you finish a short or long rest. You gain resistance to that damage type until you choose a different one with this feature. Damage from magical weapons or silver weapons ignores this resistance. #### Fury of the Dragon Lord Starting at 14th level, when you hit a creature with an attack, you can use this feature to cause your patron to momentarily materialize and devour the target.

This gives and AC of 20 and you gain damage resistance to all forms of damage until your next turn. You can instead use this ability to end any one of the following conditions you may suffer from - charmed, exhausted (1 level), frightened, paralyzed, petrified, or poisoned. Once you use this ability, it cannot be reused until you take a short or long rest. #### Undying At 10th level, as an action you begin regenerating lost health.

Your proficiency lasts until you use this ability to switch to another language or you take a long rest. Furthermore, as a ritual that takes 10 minutes, you can make yourself proficient in one skill of your choice. You cannot apply this ability to a skill you already are proficient in. The proficiency lasts until you use this ability to switch skill proficiency or you take a long rest. #### Hidden Power At 6th level, for each invocation slot you possess, choose two invocations. At dawn each day, choose which invocations are active. As a ritual that takes 10 minutes, you can swap one active invocation for another invocation you know that is not currently active. #### A Hundred Minds At 10th level, you are immune to being charmed and gain resistance to psychic damage. #### The Horde Unfurled At 14th level, you can manifest your multiple psyches to devastate your foes. As an action, all enemies within 60 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spellcasting DC. On a failure, the target takes 7d6 psychic damage and is beguiled by you. While beguiled, you can take a bonus action to telepathically order each beguiled target within 60 feet to perform an action of your choice or you can choose to incapacitate the target and deal an additional 2d6 psychic damage to the target. You can command one or more targets to act while choosing to incapacitate others. At the end of each of its turn, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw to attempt to negate the beguilement. After one minute, any creatures still beguiled by this ability are freed of the effect. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you take a long rest.

It has been a home for madmen, geniuses and orphans alike. It's seventy-five room, five story frame is filled with a maze of rooms and passages, and the spirits of those defeated by its protectors wander the halls and caverns below, trapped in arcane objects and solemnly shifting hallways of its interiors. Each room is filled with an assortments of wonders gathered from around the globe - and beyond. Jax, the ever-present butler is never far from hand and noone seems to know how long he has served withing the mansion, for his image can be discerned even in the background of the paintings of the old inhabitants of the house. His opposite is the maid, Telsa, as bright and flamboyant as Jax is as brooding and stern. The house makes itself available when most needed, and those with the strange keys of the house can open any door to access items or even rest beyond what would be normally an ordinary portal.[/SIZE] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][SIZE=5][B]IT[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [B]Alignment:[/B] Neutral Evil [B]Weapon:[/B] Dagger (long-nailed fingers) [B]Familiar:[/B] A small porcelain doll (that normally only moves when not directly observed) [B]Book:[/B] A children's book No one is quite sure if IT is either a Great Old One, a wrathful Fey Lord or a monstrous Fiend.

Its touch implants a diamond seed in the brain of the warlock, giving unnatural clarity and linking to the queen's awesome power.
