Warlock Invocation Options
As a Warlock, your study of occult lore has unearthed fragments of forbidden knowledge that imbue you with an abiding magical ability known as an Eldritch Invocation. The following list of options contains all the invocations available for the Warlock to learn.
Agonising Blast
Prerequisite: Eldritch Blast cantrip
When you cast eldritch blast, you add your Charisma modifier or Intelligence modifier to the damage it deals on a hit. If a target is hit with multiple beams, the damage bonus is only added once.
Animated Relic
Prerequisite: Pact of the Relic
Your relic harbours a spirit bestowed to you by your patron that grants it a semblance of sentience. As an action, you can awaken this spirit and cause your relic to move on its own. It is a small or tiny object that acts on your turn, is friendly to you and your allies, and obeys your commands. The relic has a speed of 0 and a flying speed of 30ft, and can hover. The relic has an armour class of 10 + your Intelligence modifier or Charisma modifier, and has hit points equal to your warlock level + your Intelligence modifier or Charisma modifier. If the relic has to make a saving throw, it adds your proficiency bonus to the roll. While a creature is within 5ft of your relic, you have advantage on attack rolls you make against the creature.
As a bonus action on your turns, you can command the relic to move up to its speed. The relic cannot move further than 60ft away from you.
This spirit remains awakened for 1 hour, unless the relic is reduced to 0 hit points or you end your turn further than 60 ft away from the relic. If the relic is reduced to 0 hit points or you end your turn further than 60ft away from the relic, it is not destroyed and instead disappears into a pocket dimension, remaining until you perform a 1-hour ceremony to summon it back to your location, which can be performed during a short or long rest.
Once this spirit is awoken, it cannot be reawakened until you complete a long rest.
Armour of Shadows
You learn the Mage Armour spell and can cast it at 1st level on yourself at will, without expending a spell slot or material components.
Aspect of the Moon
You no longer need to sleep and can't be forced to sleep by any means. To gain the benefits of a long rest, you can spend all 8 hours doing light activity, such as performing a meditation ritual with your patron’s gift or keeping watch.
Beast Speech
You can cast the Speak with Animals spell at will, without expending a spell slot.
Devil’s Sight
You can see normally in darkness, both magical and non magical, to a distance of 60 feet.

Prerequisite: Light armour proficiency
You gain proficiency in medium armour, shields, and martial weapons.
Eldritch Sight
You can cast Detect Magic at will, without expending a spell slot.
Eldritch Spear
Prerequisite: Eldritch Blast cantrip
When you cast eldritch blast, its range is doubled.
Eyes of the Rune Keeper
You can read all writing.
Gaze of Two Minds
You can use your action to touch a humanoid and perceive through its senses until the end of your next turn. If the creature is unwilling, it must fail a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC in order to perceive through its senses. On a successful save, you do not perceive through its senses and the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours. A creature you perceive through is unaware of your intrusion without magical means.
As long as the creature is on the same plane of existence as you, you can use your action on subsequent turns to maintain this connection, extending the duration until the end of your next turn. While perceiving through the other creature's senses, you benefit from any special senses possessed by that creature, and you are blinded and deafened to your own surroundings.
Gift of the Depths
You can breathe underwater, and you gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed. While completely submerged underwater, you gain a blindsight with a range of 10ft.
Gift of the Ever-Living Ones
When you regain hit points during a short rest, treat any hit dice rolled to determine the hit points you regain as having rolled their maximum value. After using this feature, you must complete a long rest before you can use this again.
Grasp of Hadar
Prerequisite: Eldritch Blast cantrip
When you hit a creature with your eldritch blast, you can move that creature in a straight line 10 feet closer to you. If a target is hit with multiple beams, the creature is only moved once.
Improved Pact Weapon
Prerequisite: Pact of the Blade
Your pact weapon gains a +1 bonus to its attack and damage rolls, unless it is a magic weapon that already has a bonus to those rolls.
In addition, the DC for your pact weapon’s special strikes can use your spell save DC instead of your special strike DC.
Lance of Lethargy
Prerequisite: Eldritch Blast cantrip
When you hit a creature with your eldritch blast, you can reduce that creature's speed by 10 feet until the end of your next turn. If a target is hit with multiple beams, the creature’s speed is only reduced once.

You can cast the Disguise Self spell at will, without expending a spell slot.
Misty Visions
You can cast the Silent Image spell at will, without expending a spell slot or material components.

Protection of the Crown
Prerequisite: Pact of the Crown
If you fail an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw while wearing your crown, you can add 1d4 to the roll, potentially turning the save into a success. This benefit can be used a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier or Intelligence modifier, and all expended uses are restored when you complete a long rest.
Rebuke of the Mark
Prerequisite: Pact of the Mark
When you are hit by an attacker you can see within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to deal psychic damage to the attacker equal to 1d6 + your Intelligence modifier or Charisma modifier, and push the attacker up to 10ft away from you.
Repelling Blast
Prerequisite: Eldritch Blast cantrip
When you hit a creature with eldritch blast, you can push the creature up to 10 feet away from you in a straight line. If a target is hit with multiple beams, the creature is only pushed away once.
Tomb of Levistus
As a reaction to being damaged, you can entomb yourself in a protective ice tomb. You gain 10 temporary hit points per warlock level, which takes as much of the triggering damage as possible. While entombed in this ice, your speed is reduced to 0, and you have resistance to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. If a creature hits you with a melee attack while you have these temporary hit points, the creature takes cold damage equal to your warlock level. These effects, including any remaining temporary hit points, all disappear at the start of your next turn when the ice melts away.
Once you use this invocation, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Trickster’s Escape
If you are targeted with a melee attack and the attack misses, as a reaction, you can move up to half your movement away from the creature without provoking opportunity attacks from the attacking creature.
Voice of the Chain Master
Prerequisite: Pact of the Chain
You can communicate telepathically with your familiar and perceive through your familiar's senses as long as you are on the same plane of existence.

The aura grants you advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) check however you receive a 1d4 penalty to all other Charisma checks. Any creature of your choice that starts its turn in the aura takes poison damage equal to 1d4 + your Charisma modifier or Intelligence modifier (minimum of 0).
Once you use this invocation, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

You can cast the sending spell, targeting a creature whose name is on the page, without using a spell slot and without using material components. To do so, you must write the message on the page.
