Parasitic Bond (Level 1)
Starting at 1 level, you are infected with parasites breathed to life by Pestilence himself. You can feel it squirming in your soul, offering power in exchange for your vitality.
As a Bonus Action, you can choose to expend a number of hit dice up to the level of your highest level spell slot from your pact magic feature. When you do so, you roll the dice as though recovering hit points, but take Necrotic damage equal to the number of rolled instead. This damage ignores resistances and immunities, and ignores temporary hit points.
Whenever you sacrifice hit points to your parasite this way, you can gain one of the following benefits:
- The Parasite empowers you. You gain a spell slot whose level is equal to the number of hit dice expended. All spell slots gained this way disappear after a short or long rest.
- The Parasite bolsters you. You gain temporary hit points equal to twice the damage done. These hit points disappear after a short or long rest.
Pathogenic Brood (Level 6)
By 6th level, your Parasite has matured, and gained the ability to breed. Its children may be frail and fleeting, but they are connected to their progenitor, and therefore to you, nonetheless.
Whenever you hit a creature with an Attack, you can choose to infect them with a Pathogen for the next minute. Whenever you sacrifice hit points to your Parasite, any creature with a Pathogen will lose the same number of hit points. They can remove this Pathogen as an Action, by making a successful Wisdom (Medicine) check equal to your Spell Save DC.
Warder’s Respite (Level 10)
At 10 level, your body has adapted to the effects of the Parasite in it. Your hit point maximum increases by 20. Whenever you gain a level hereafter, your hit point maximum increases by an additional 2 hit points
Furthermore, you gain resistance to Necrotic and Poison damage. If you already have resistance, you gain immunity instead. You also cannot be Poisoned.
