The Tyrant

Your patron is the overlord, the ruler, the steel helm and the iron fist. They establish their dominance in all things, ruling over their subjects through fear and power alone. Some beings that fit this description are Bane, Tiamat, or Horus. Whatever the being, your patron is synonymous with power.

Your relationship with your patron is almost certainly one of servitude; such beings do not see others, much less mortals, as equals. There may, however, be an air of necessity to the pact: perhaps your patron has a specific purpose for a warlock, such as a threat to their rule only a mortal agent of theirs can put an end to. Whatever the reasoning, however, you are a servant nonetheless.

2nd	silence, find steed
3rd	bestow curse, galder's tower
4th	private sanctum, compulsion
5th	dominate person, hallow

Abjure the Unworthy

Starting at 1st level, you have been given the capability to cause weak foes to flee from your superiority. As an action, you can briefly manifest your patron's power. Each creature with CR 1/8 or lower that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

The maximum CR of a creature you can turn with this increases to 1/2 when you reach 5th level in this class, 1 at 9th level, 3 at 13th level, and 5 at 17th level.

You can use this action once. You regain all expended uses on a short or long rest.

Steel Will

Starting at 6th level, your will becomes as strong and unbending as your patron's, giving you the mental fortitude of a conquering king. You gain proficiency with your choice of Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma saving throws. If you are already proficient with the saving throw you chose, your proficiency bonus is doubled whenever you make that type of saving throw.

Vanquish the Weak

Starting at 10th level, your disdain for the weak has granted you a dismissive edge against them. You gain an additional use of your Abjure the Unworthy. Additionally, whenever a creature is turned by Abjure the Unworthy, if it has hit points equal to or lower than 3 times your level in this class, its hit points are reduced to 1.

Mark of the Tyrant

Starting at 14th level, your patron has branded you with a mark signifying you as a ruler over others; the mark of the conquering king. At your option, you can pick from or roll on the Marks of the Tyrant table to create a mark for your character, or make your own.

 Marks of the Tyrant

Whenever you cast a spell that forces an enemy to make a saving throw, you can invoke your mark to strengthen that spell against that enemy. You may invoke the mark multiple times per spell to target additional enemies. A target that the mark is invoked against makes the save with disadvantage. On a failed save, if the target becomes charmed by the spell, it must use its reaction to move half its speed closer to you, or if it becomes frightened by the spell, it is pushed 15 feet away from you. If the target is neither charmed nor frightened, it takes 3d10 psychic damage.

You can invoke the mark a number of times equal to your 3 + your Charisma modifier, and regain all expended uses on a long rest.
