Secrets Patron

Bargain for dark knowledge with mysterious beings

Your pact is reminiscent of an agreement for knowledge or secrets with a greater deity. They grant you knowledge, or help you hide your secrets. Your patron may be a deity of knowledge, such a Tyr or Mystra, who grants you knowledge they have themselves as well as their power. Or your patron could be a deity of deceit, such as Cyric or Leira, who helps you see through the lies of the world, as well as hiding secrets of your own. Possibly even multiple beings, each granting you their own knowledge. In any case, your knowledge grows at the expense of being pulled into a pact.

Revelation. Your revealing knowledge allows you to touch an object and spend 1 minute studying it. If it is a magic item, you learn its name and its effects, but not any curses associated with it.

Level 6: Unleash Secrets

Your power grows, allowing you to get extra effects when assaulting enemies with certain spells.

Overpower. Creatures are overwhelmed by the secrets contained in your magic, if the spell requires a saving throw, affected creatures subtract your Charisma Modifier from their saving throw.

Beguile. Distract the creatures with magical energy, affected creatures cannot take reactions and have disadvantage on their next attack roll until the start of your next turn.

Level 10: Foreknowledge

The knowledge granted by your patron allows you to use the smallest details to learn information. This makes you seem as if you can gain knowledge that you shouldn't have. You gain the following benefits.

-You can add your Charisma modifier to your AC.
-You have advantage on Investigation checks
-You do you not suffer disadvantage from attacking creatures that have the invisible condition as long as they are within 30 feet of you.

Level 14: Acquisition

Your patron has granted you the ability to acquire knowledge even from those that refuse to grant it to you. You can attempt to acquire information from a creature within 30 feet of you, as an action you attempt to overpower the mind of a creature. The creature must be able to hear and understand you. The creature makes a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. If they fail, they are incapacitated for 1 minute and unable to move, making the saving throw again at the end of each of their subsequent turns, while they are incapacitated, they truthfully, to the best of their ability, answer any questions you ask. If the creature passes, they suffer no effects and are immune to this effect for 1 hour. Creatures immune to the charmed condition have advantage on this save.
