Order of the Profane Soul

Those who have taken to the Order of the Profane Soul have seen the limits of Hemocraft against some of the most ancient and cruel fiends and terrors of the world. Unable to pursue beings of such power, creatures able to vanish amongst the nobles without a trace or bend the mind of the most stalwart warrior with but a glance, this order trusted in their resilience and delved into this same well of corrupting arcane knowledge, making pacts with lesser evils to better combat the greater. While they may have traded a part of themselves, members of this order believe the power gained far outweighs the price, for even devils now quake when they know they’ve drawn the attention of the Order of the Profane Soul.

Otherworldly Patron

When you reach 3rd level, you strike a bargain with an otherworldly being of your choice: the Archfey, the Fiend, or the Great Old One, the Undying, the Celestial or Hexblade. Your choice augments some of your order features.    

Pact Magic

When you reach 3rd level, you can augment your combat techniques with the ability to cast spells. Blood Hinters of this Order use Warlock spell list.

Cantrips

You learn two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list.

Spell Slots

The Profane Soul Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your warlock spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

At 3rd level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the warlock spell list. The Spells Known column of the Profane Soul table shows when you learn more warlock spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Slot Level column for your level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class and order, you can choose one of the warlock spells you know and replace it with another spell from the warlock spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells, so you use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

   

Rite Focus

Beginning at 3rd level, your weapon becomes a core to your pact with your chosen dark patron. While you have an active Crimson Rite, you can use your weapon as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells, and you gain a specific benefit based on your chosen pact (outlined below).

• The Archfey: When you deal rite damage to a creature, it glows with faint light until the end of your next turn. For the duration, the creature can’t benefit from half cover, three-quarters cover, or being invisible.
• The Fiend: When you hit a creature with your Rite of the Flame, if you roll a 1 or 2 on your Hemocraft die, you can reroll the die and choose which roll to use.
• The Great Old One: When you score a critical hit against a creature while using the weapon, that creature is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
• The Undying: Whenever you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points using a weapon, you regain a number of hit points equal to one roll of your Hemocraft die.
• The Celestial: You can expend a use of your Blood Maledict feature as a bonus action to heal one creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. They regain a number of hit points equal to one roll of your Hemocraft damage die + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1).
• The Hexblade: Whenever you target a creature with a blood curse, your next attack against the cursed creature deals additional damage equal to your proficiency modifier.

     

Mystic Frenzy

Starting at 7th level, when you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can immediately make one weapon attack as a bonus action.    

Revealed Arcana

At 7th level, your dark patron grants you the rare use of a dangerous arcane spell based on your pact.

• The Archfey: You can cast Blur once using a pact magic spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
• The Fiend: You can cast Scorching Ray once using a pact magic spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
• The Great Old One: You can cast Detect Thoughts once using a pact magic spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
• The Undying: You can cast Blindness/Deafness once using a pact magic spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
• The Celestial: You can cast Lesser Restoration once using a pact magic spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
• The Hexblade: You can cast Branding Smite once using a pact magic spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

       

Brand of the Sapping Scar

Upon reaching 11th level, your Brand of Castigation feature now digs dark, arcane scars into your target, leaving them vulnerable to your magic. A creature branded by you has disadvantage on their saving throws against your warlock spells.    

Unsealed Arcana

At 15th level, your patron grants you the rare use of an additional arcane spell based on your pact.

• The Archfey: You can cast Slow once without expending a spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
• The Fiend: You can cast Fireball once without expending a spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
• The Great Old One: You can cast Haste once without expending a spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
• The Undying: You can cast Bestow Curse once without expending a spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
• The Celestial: You can cast Revivify once without expending a spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
• The Hexblade: You can cast Blink once without expending a spell slot. You can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

     

Blood Curse of the Souleater

Starting at 18th level, you've learned to siphon the soul from your fallen prey. You gain the Blood Curse of the Souleater for your Blood Maledict feature. This does not count against your number of blood curses known.
Blood Curse of the Souleater: When a creature that isn’t a construct or undead is reduced to 0 hit points within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to offer their life energy to your patron in exchange for power. Until the end of your next turn, you make attacks with advantage, and you have resistance to all damage.

Amplify: Additionally, you regain an expended warlock spell slot. Once you’ve amplified this blood curse, you must finish a long rest before you can amplify it again.
