Otherworldly Influences

Influence of the Accursed

You draw your power from a curse - One that has been laid on you, your family, or an object you've inherited. While this curse hinders you at times, you've studied long and hard, and managed to find a way to twist it to your benefit.

Warlock's Curse

At 1st level, choose one curse from those listed below. Each curse grants you a different list of Bestowed Spells, and a unique Empowered Hex, as you cast your own curse upon your enemies.

Burned

Your body is covered in wretched black scars, and arcane embers poke from underneath your charred skin. Nonetheless, you still live, and the fire outside cannot compete with the fire within.

You have resistance to Fire damage; This improves to immunity whenever your current hit points are less than your Constitution modifier + your Warlock level. Additionally, you know either the Produce Flame or Fire Bolt cantrip, which does not count against your number of cantrips known.

Bestowed Spells

Each Otherworldly Influence has a list of associated spells, called Bestowed Spells. You gain access to these spells at the levels specified in the Influence description. Once you gain a bestowed spell, you always know it, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you know.

If you gain a spell that doesn’t appear on the warlock spell list, the spell is nonetheless a warlock spell for you.

Table: Accursed Bestowed Spells - Burned

Warlock Level	Spells Gained
1st	Bane, Burning Hands
3rd	Ray of Enfeeblement, Flaming Sphere
5th	Bestow Curse, Fireball
7th	Elemental Bane, Wall of Fire
9th	Calamitous Curse, Immolation

Empowered Hex

When a creature fails its initial saving throw against one of your Hexes, you can choose to set it on fire with your Curse. While burning, the creature sheds light as a torch. At the start of each of its turns while burning, it must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, it suffers Fire damage equal to your Warlock level; On a successful save, it suffers half as much damage and the fire is extinguished.

You can empower one of your Hexes in this way a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
