Base Class: Warlock
(Note to self write my own)
NOT FINISHED!!!!
Your patron is one of the most powerful predators in the multiverse such as a tarrasque, an astral dreadnought, or an ancient dragon. More than simple beasts, these creatures dominate their domains, taking whatever they want from whoever gets in their way. While these creatures normally treat all other creatures as simply potential meals, they still appreciate the utility that vassals can provide for them. As part of your pact, you take whatever scraps of power and resources they leave behind while serving them by finding new prey or intercepting any threat that would try to usurp their top position. (This subclass is heavily inspired if not completely copied from "Hamund's Harvesting Handbook: Volume III")

Level 3: Boundless Hunger
To use Devour Prey you need to expend all your “Boundless Hunger” charge which you start with 0, you get Boundless Hunger charges every time an enemy frightened of you, every time you hit an enemy frightened of you with an opportunity attack or whenever an enemy frightened of you becomes Bloodied. You can only have your proficiency modifier number of charges at a time.
Level 3: Establish Dominance
3rd-level Great Serpent feature
At 3rd level you learn to channel your patron's presence in order to mentally dominate your prey. As an action, you can force a target you can see within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. If a creature has a challenge rating lower than your warlock level, they make the saving throw at disadvantage. On a failure, the targeted creature is frightened of you for the next minute and gains the condition “Chosen Prey”, then every other hostile creature in 10ft radius of the targeted creature also makes a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC -2. On failure, the affected creatures are frightened of you for the next minute. The creature with “Chosen Prey” also have disadvantage on saving throws imposed by you and cannot benefit from spells that grant it a bonus to their movement speed. In addition, you have advantage on opportunity attacks made against the creature affected with the “Chosen Prey” A frightened creature may attempt the saving throw again at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Only one creature can have the “Chosen Prey” condition at a time and if a second creature would gain the condition, then the previous creature inflicted with it loses the condition giving it to the new target. If the creature with “Chosen Prey” loses the frightened condition they also lose “Chosen Prey”.
You use Establish Dominance a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier with a max of 8. you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Level 3: Devour Prey
3rd-level Great Serpent feature
Starting at 3rd level, your patron grants you access to a pocket dimension where your prey is devoured alive. As an action, expend all your "Boundless Hunger" charges and target a creature you can see within 30 feet of you, forcing them to make a Strength saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a failure, that creature is banished to a pocket dimension. While there, the target is incapacitated, and at the end of each of its turns, it may make another Charisma saving throw. On a failure, it suffers [roll]1d6[/roll] acid dmg for each charge of Boundless Hunger expended for it. On a success, the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
If the creature dies while in your pocket dimension you gain temporary hit points equal to your Warlock Level and the killed creatures CR rounded up. You may choose to have all of their harvestable materials reappear in the creature's original space instead of their corpse. These harvestable materials are in perfect condition and can be collected without issue.
Level 6: relentless pursuit
- Used to quickly teleport to the enemy targeted by Establish Dominance so you can easily close the gap between you and them without needing to go through nearby enemies risking opportunity attacks from them.
Level 10: many heads make light work
