The Legion

You make a pact with a legion. Or more precisely, a legion made a pact with you. 10,000 lost and wandering souls have chosen you as their host. In doing so they have granted you great power and the experience of many lifetimes in exchange for being able to experience life while in your presence. 

These souls were once people and many different legions have different stories. One might have once been the citizens of a city that was destroyed by war or disaster. Others may be a various collection of restless souls who refuse to move on to the afterlife. Yet still others may be an army who seek vengeance on a particular enemy. Regardless they see you as a means to an end, but they are benevolent to their hosts. For without you, they cannot act.

Aura of the Dead

 Starting at 1st level, the souls of the dead can experience life again when they are close to you. This causes them to create an aura that reaches 15ft around you, that is invisible to all but you until you use a bonus action to make them visible. They remain visible until you use a bonus action to hide them again. While your aura is visible you gain the following benefits. 

• You and allied creatures within your aura have advantage on death saving throws.
• At the start of your turn, you can choose one creature that you can see. That creature treats your aura as difficult terrain until the start of your next turn.
• You can casts spells that requires a melee spell attack, or have a range of touch, against any creature within, or adjacent to your aura.

 

 

Ten Thousand Hands

 At 6th level, the souls of the dead are capable of keeping your enemies at bay. While your aura of the dead is visible, you can use an action to force any number of creatures you can see, that you choose, within your aura to make a strength saving throw. On a failed save they are pushed to the closest available space outside of your aura and cannot willingly enter your aura until the start of your next turn.

Spectral Shroud

Starting at 10th level, your own growing power gives the legion greater corporeal strength. While your aura is visible, you and creatures you choose, have resistance to necrotic and cold damage while in your aura, and gain the benefits of half cover from ranged attacks that originate from outside your aura.

Legions Rally

Starting at 14th level, while your aura is visible, as an action you can call forth the spirits of your legion to stand at your side in battle. Your aura now extends out to 30 feet around you, and you can choose up to six creatures that are within your aura. Those creatures gain temporary hit points equal to your Warlock level. If a creature is unconscious, it is restored to one hit point before adding the temporary hit points. This effect lasts for one minute or until willingly dispelled, no action required. You have one use per long rest.
