Warlock - Beastlord Patron (Patreon)

Gruul Beastmaster, by Kimonas Theodossiou © Wizards of the Coast LLC

The Beastlord Patron is for warlocks sworn to a mighty divine animal - perhaps an extraplanar spirit of beasts, a primal spirit, or just a semi-divine beast of tremendous wisdom.

The Beastlord Patron is all about beasts - but in a flexible, flavorable way. It's intended to be able to represent any given beast lord, which may be linked to a specific animal - so some reflavoring and selection of specific options might be needed to get exactly what you want.

The spell list adds almost all the beast-themed spells available, including some summons and some new buff spells. Your key feature at level 1 is Feral Swipe, giving you a limited number of bonus-action attacks, with special properties based on a chosen beast. Beastlord's Aspect lets you choose from a menu of beast-themed defense and utility options. Endless Swipe at 6th gives you more uses for your Feral Swipe. Soft Underbelly boosts your Feral Swipe when it's against enemies you've already damaged. Beast Pact at 14th gives you your own style of wildshape, including unrestricted spellcasting and infinite transformations. And Beastlord's Protection gives you a powerful totem spirit to help you when the going gets tough.
