The Hexblade Expanded Spell List Additional spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. Hexblade’s Curse Once per short rest, as a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 ft. to curse it for 1 minute (or until the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated). Against the cursed target, you gain a 2 bonus to damage rolls, score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20, and you regain +6 HP if it dies. Hex Warrior You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property (or any of your pact weapons). With that weapon, you can use your CHA modifier for the attack and damage rolls until you finish your next long rest. Eldritch Invocations You learn fragments of forbidden knowledge that imbue you with an abiding magical ability. ·          Improved Pact Weapon: You can use any weapon you summon with your Pact of the Blade feature as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells. In addition, the weapon gains a +1 bonus to its attack and damage rolls, unless it is a magic weapon that already has a bonus to these rolls . Finally, the weapon you conjure can be a shortbow, longbow, light crossbow, or heavy crossbow. ·          Mask of Many Faces : You can cast disguise self at will, without expending a spell slot. Pact Magic You can cast known warlock spells using CHA as your spellcasting modifier (Spell DC 14 , Spell Attack +6 ). You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus. Pact Boon At 3rd level, your otherworldly patron bestows a gift upon you for your loyal service. You gain one of the following features of your choice. Pact of the Blade You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it (see the Weapons section for weapon options). You are proficient with it while you wield it. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attack s and damage. Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), o r if you die. You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can’t affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.        Racial Trait (Half-Elf) Darkvision: You can see in darkness (shades of gray) up to 60 ft.

Ewen was the product of vanity and fey cruelty; his family hailed from the village of Caerleon on the River Plym near the outskirts of the ancient forest of Dartmoor. Given their proximity to the mysterious wood, the people of Caerleon were considered to be strange folk who meddled perhaps too much into the world of the Fae. As such, they were perhaps more tolerant and aware of the Otherworld, but treated it with a fearful respect and placed a small monument upon a sídhe that was present at the edge of the woods closest to Caerleon. Before every Samhain an offering was gathered by the villagers and taken by an appointed maiden from the village; the young maiden would be crowned with a circle of hawthorn, granted a staff of oak, and carry a bowl carved of ash filled with the offering which was then left upon the sídhe . One particular year, the maiden chosen to present the offering was Avalina Abalain, a pretty young lass of black hair and bright blue eyes who was perhaps a bit too aware of comeliness. While carrying the offering to the sídh, Avalina came across a comely traveler who commented on the bounty she carried, begging a small favor to sate his hunger. Initially Avalina rebuked him, explaining the purpose behind the offering; however, the traveler appealed to her and commented eloquently upon her beauty. The traveler's continual praise eventually won over Avalina's vanity and she presented the traveler with some of the bounty before bidding she see him again for the evening's Samhain festival. She then continued on with her appointed task to deliver the, now reduced, offering. She returned to Caerleon to seek out the comely traveler, but to her sorrow found him nowhere within the village as the festivities began. As the fires were lit and the feast began, a group of travelers came to the gates of Caerleon seeking shelter for the night and to partake in the celebrations with offerings of mead. The elders knew well that Samhain was a liminal time in which the veil between worlds was thin and there was a possibility these travelers were more than what they appeared. The travelers were accepted into the revelries and the festival began in earnest. During the night Avalina caught the attention of one of the strangers, a winsome man who invited her to dance and to drink of his mead which she gratefully accepted after the disappointment earlier in the day. The night was filled with much drinking and dancing, more so than most could recall for these travelers' mead was heady and seemed to fill the heart with desire of dancing, singing, and other frivolities. When the cool dawn rose the next morning, many found themselves in heaps upon the earth as if they had simply collapsed where there stood with hazy memories of the previous night.
