Warlock
Base Class: Warlock

The Old Gods are beings long forgotten by time, supposedly the gods of the gods, that are only worshiped by the few who dare to seek them as patrons and delve into the hidden knowledge of their history. The Old Gods only seek to have their will influence the world that they view from afar, as many of them are unable to truly interact or create major change on their own. There are few creatures that could possibly be truly named as patrons, but chief among them, at least in regards to the existence of records and texts, is Golestandt, a giant ghastly dragon that supposedly leaves undeath in its wake whose silver scales grant the imbiber limited immortality for about a 1-4 years if the scales are properly refined or given as a gift from the dragon himself. There are others like Golestandt who, including Golestandt (Aspect of Death), are called Dragon Aspects that are called Kallisto (Aspect of Creation), Phanto (Aspect of the Sun and Moon), Ouro'ras (Aspect of Light), Rokesh (Aspect of Earth), Yvander (Aspect of Ice), Vlaurunga (Aspect of Fire), and Quintara Lotus (Aspect of Arcane Magic). These Dragon Aspects are the only Old Gods that have the power to influence the the Prime Material Plane and each Dragon Aspect has their own following of clerics and paladins, who are rare to an almost impossible degree.

Congrats to anyone who gets this reference. You are quite the cultured person, or at least have done lots of research on games like D&D.

(Note: I changed the text of the feature that was unusable in the original version to match its actual effect and completely changed the Old Gods' Omniscience ability to The Old Gods' Guidance, which is a much more well balanced and thematic ability)

(Note 2: I can't believe that I had to make another version of this class just to fix a stupid mistake that I made which I shouldn't have made in the first place. I specified the type of saving throw that the Old Gods' Guidance ability gave to be spell saves rather than just general Intelligence and Wisdom saves.)

The Old Gods' Guidance

 At 1st level, your connection with your patron enables them to whisper secrets into your mind. You have advantage on Intelligence and Wisdom spell saving throws due to the support of your patron. Also, as a bonus action, you may grant yourself a +5 bonus to an Intelligence or Wisdom check a number of times per day equal to your proficiency modifier.

Awakened Mind

This feature is exactly the same as the Great Old Ones patron feature of the same name. Starting at 1st level, your alien knowledge gives you the ability to touch the minds of other creatures. You can communicate telepathically with any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.

Elemental Manipulation

The power of the Old Gods is vast and creative, allowing their chosen followers to manipulate the world around them. At 6th level, you one cantrip out of Dancing Lights, Shape Water, Control Fire, Mold Earth, and Gust and become able to cast it as a result of the blessings of the Old Gods that you have received. These do not count against your known cantrips.

The Wings of an Old God

Beginning at 10th level, you may draw upon the energy of your patron and create upon you back ethereal wings once per long rest as an action. These wings grant you 50 feet of flying speed and will last for up to 10 minutes or until you dismiss them, costing you no action. These wings may look however you wish in the way of color and design, but will always be dotted with glowing, star-like pinpricks that cause your wings to shed dim light in a radius of 5 feet. The wingspan is equal to double your height.

Wrath of an Old God

At 14th level, you become able to call upon you patron for aid in battle, enabling you to perform feats that most would believe to be impossible. Once per long rest, while you are below your maximum HP, you may imbue all melee attacks that you make during a turn with an extra 8d8 of any type of elemental (including radiant and necrotic) damage of your choosing as a bonus action.
