Witchservant
(Warlock Subclass)

Hags can sense those who seek power desperately and are willing to spread the malice of their patron to cause discord and misery. Witchservants are usually bitter, power-hungry individuals who live hidden in society. They live as average citizens and practice their devotions secretly, gathering only to conduct vile rituals and contact their hag patrons for guidance. Various hags have a decent number of servants in Aglarion who treat their subjects as expendable assets. 

Expanded Spell List. At 1st level, your hag patron lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Witchservant Expanded Spells

 

Spell Level Spells
1st bane, hideous laughter
2nd blindness/deafness, darkvision
3rd bestow curse, tiny hut
4th divination, polymorph
5th  commune, contagion



Hag’s Form. Starting at 1st level, you can mimic the shape-changing ability of your hag patron. As a bonus action, you can magically polymorph into a small or medium humanoid for one hour. Your statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment you are wearing or carrying isn't transformed. You revert to your true form if you die. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Dark Devotion. Starting at 1st level, your hag patron bolsters your determination. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed.

Painful Incantation. Starting at 6th level, you can cause intense pain with your damaging spells. As a bonus action, you can choose to use painful incantation when you roll damage for a spell and force the damaged creature to make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier). On a fail save, the target creature’s speed is halved, it has disadvantage on attacks, skill checks, Strength and Dexterity saving throws for 1 minute, and if the target tries to cast a spell during this time, it must first succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or the casting fails and the spell is wasted. A target suffering from this pain can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a successful save, the pain ends. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. 

Malediction. Starting at 10th level, you can channel the vile energies of your hag patron to curse your enemies. As a bonus action, you can force one creature of your choice within 30 feet to make a Charisma saving throw (DC 8 + proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier). On a failed save, the target creature is cursed and must roll 1d6 and subtract the number rolled from its attack rolls or saving throws whenever it makes one within the next 1 minute. For the duration, the target creature also gains vulnerability to all damage dealt by you. A remove curse spell ends this effect. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. 

Ethereal Passage. Starting at 14th level, you gain the ability to traverse the Ethereal plane. You can cast etherealness without using a spell slot. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.  

The Witchservant is a D&D 5e compatible original subclass from Crown of the Oathbreaker.
