The Hive

You have made a deal with an extra ordinary hivemind. Whether it be something alien from above the stars or something more down to earth, you've made a deal with this interconnected creature who has deemed you worthy to join its menagerie, granting you some of its power to go out and use in support of the hive. Their goal can be cosmic in size or something as simple as indoctrination, but its almost never known to the mortals in the hive.

The Hive's Mind

Starting at 1st level, your patron grants you the ability to connect your minds with those of the beings around you. You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.

The Swarm

You gain the ability to summon a piece of the hive mind to help you in combat. As a bonus action, you create a swarm of insects to a point you can see within 60 ft. of you, the swarm fills a space thats about 5 ft. by 5 ft.. The swarm lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature again.
Whenever a creature other than you or an ally enters the swarms space for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there it takes 1d6 piercing damage and must make a CON saving throw against your spell save DC, on a failed save they become poisoned. the space that the swarm takes up counts as difficult terrain. When you reach 10th level in this class, the area that the swarm take up expands to 10 ft. by 10 ft. and the damage dealt increases to 2d6.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the swarm up to 30 ft..
You can summon the swarm a number of times up to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

The Swarm's Protection

Starting at 6th level, you can call on your patron to grant you protection. As a reaction, whenever you take damage you can give yourself resistance to that damage type until the beginning of your next turn. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus.

In addition, as a bonus action, you gain a flying speed of 30 feet that lasts for 10 minutes, during which you can hover. You can use this bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus.

You regain all uses for both abilities when you finish a long rest.

The Hive's Expanse

Starting at 10th level, you can choose up to five willing creatures when you finish a short or long rest. You and the chosen creatures gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your warlock level (minimum of 1) and as long as you are on the same plane of existence as one of them you can telepathically speak with that creature. You can communicate with the chosen creatures until you choose new different ones with this feature.

The Hive's Infestation

Starting at 14th level, you can now call on the swarm to destroy. As a bonus action, target one creature within 60 feet of you. A fraction of your swarm surrounds the target, dealing 3d8 piercing damage and it has to make a constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + charisma modifier) or be poisoned until the end of your next turn, repeat this at the beginning of that creatures turn. As a bonus action or if the target dies  you can change the target of the swarm to another target within 30 feet of the target. The swarm lasts for 1 minute, it ends early if there are no more targets, you fall unconscious or die, or you end it early as a free action.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
