The Vestige(UA Import 5e)

Your pact draws on the power of a dying god, a being once worshipped by countless followers but now abandoned and forgotten. This dying god, known as a vestige, might have been benevolent, evil, or strange and unknowable, but now it is driven to regain its former power. The vestige needs your help it is willing to share its remaining strength with you.

Disclaimer: Due to DNDBeyond Limitations the intended patron spell list does not work. The intended expanded spell lists are one of either: Trickery, Life, Light, or War domain cleric. If you wish to properly use this subclass keep that in mind.

Level 1: Vestige Spells

The magic of your Vestige Companion ensures you always have certain spells ready. Select one of the following Cleric Domains: Life, Light, Trickery, or War. The Domain Spells of your chosen Domain are Warlock spells for you. When you reach a Warlock level equal to a Cleric Level listed on the Domain Spells table for the Domain you have chosen, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared. For example, if you chose the War Domain for this feature, when you reach Warlock level 3, you would have the Guiding Bolt, Magic Weapon, Shield of Faith, and Spiritual Weapon spells prepared.

Level 1: Vestige Companion

The vestige manifests, aiding you to do so and drawing strength from your pact. It uses the Vestige Companion stat block and is a Celestial, Fiend, or Undead (choose when you gain this feature). You determine what the vestige looks like, but regardless of its form, the vestige bears features indicating its supernatural origin. For example, you might decide your vestige is an oversize floating skull etched with sigils, a circle of glowing runes, or a constantly shifting abstract shape. The vestige is Friendly to you and your allies and obeys your commands. It vanishes if you die.

The Vestige in Combat. In combat, the vestige acts during your turn. It can move and use its Reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action unless you take a Bonus Action to command it to take an action in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the vestige to take the Vestige’s Strike action. If you have the Incapacitated condition, the vestige acts on its own and isn’t limited to the Dodge action.

Disappearance of the Vestige. When the vestige drops to 0 Hit Points, it disappears. You can spend 1 minute performing a magic ceremony to manifest the vestige again; it reappears with its maximum Hit Points in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. As a Magic action, you can temporarily dismiss the vestige to a pocket dimension. As a Magic action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause the vestige to reappear in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Whenever the vestige drops to 0 Hit Points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying.

Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can summon the vestige in a new form, which appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. You choose its appearance and whether it is a Celestial, Fiend, or Undead. If the vestige is already manifested from this feature, its form changes to the new one.

The Celestial

A Celestial Vestige has resistance to Radiant damage. They also deal Radiant damage for their Vestige's Strike attack action. And lastly gain the Healing Touch ability for their Divine Power bonus action.

Healing Touch (Celestial Only). The vestige touches another creature. The target regains Hit Points equal to 2d8 plus your Charisma modifier and ends one condition on it: Blinded, Deafened, or Poisoned.

The Fiend

A Fiend Vestige has resistance to Fire damage. They also deal Fire damage for their Vestige's Strike attack action. And lastly gain the Fiendish Swap ability for their Divine Power bonus action.

Fiendish Swap (Fiend Only). If you and the vestige are within 60 feet of each other, you both teleport, swapping places.

The Undead

An Undead Vestige has resistance to Necrotic damage. They also deal Necrotic damage for their Vestige's Strike attack action. And lastly gain the Cursed Invocation ability for their Divine Power bonus action.

Cursed Invocation (Undead Only). The vestige places a curse on a creature you can see within 30 feet of the vestige for 1 minute. While cursed, the target has Disadvantage on attack rolls against you and the vestige.

Level 6: Vestige Recovery

Your Vestige Companion now regains its use of Divine Power whenever you finish a Short or Long Rest or when you use your Magical Cunning feature.

Level 10: Aura of Power

Your Vestige Companion increases in magical strength. As a Magic Action, you can cause the vestige to manifest an aura in a 30-foot Emanation that originates from the vestige. The aura lasts a number of hours equal to your Charisma modifier or until the vestige disappears or is temporarily dismissed. You, the vestige, and your allies within the aura gain Resistance to Fire, Necrotic, and Radiant damage and have Immunity to the Charmed and Frightened conditions. Once you manifest this aura, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest. In addition, when you drop to 0 Hit Points while within the aura, you instead change your Hit Points to a number equal to your Warlock level plus your Charisma modifier. The vestige is then dismissed into a pocket dimension and can’t return until you finish a Long Rest.

Level 14: Semblance of Life

Your Vestige Companion continues to grow in strength, and with your assistance, it can briefly adopt a more powerful form. Depending on the vestige’s type, you can cast one of the following spells while the vestige is within 90 feet of you without expending a spell slot or needing Material components: Summon Celestial (Celestial vestige), Summon Fiend (Fiend vestige), or Summon Undead (Undead vestige). When you cast the spell with this feature, the vestige becomes the summoned creature. Its game statistics are replaced by the summoned creature’s stat block, the spell’s level is equal to half your Warlock level (round down; maximum level 9), and the spell’s duration is 1 minute. When the spell ends, the vestige returns to its previous form.

Once you have cast the spell in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.
