The Brian

This homebrew is based off of the Family Guy character Brian.

Brian is a being of wisdom and might. He seeks out patrons to do his bidding, but isn't so overbearing to rule over your life. You have become a warlock of his for the purpose of power, servitude, or for a purpose in life. For those wanting to complete one of these, Brian is likely to show up in their dreams to contact them, asking for them to join him.

Expanded Spell List

The Brian lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

The Language of Man

At 1st level, you can cast the spell Comprehend Languages on yourself, without expending a spell slot, once per long rest.

Starting at 10th level, you can instead cast Tongues, once per long rest.

Intoxicating Personality

Starting at 6th level, you can now intoxicate a person nearby. As an action, you can target one creature that isn't immune to the poisoned condition, within 30 feet of you, forcing the creature to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature becomes drunk, having the poisoned condition. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the start of their turns to end the effects on a success. The effects of this feature can't be removed otherwise.

This feature can be used once per long rest.

Artisan of the Page

Beginning at 10th level, you can call upon the wisdom of Brian to write a piece of literature that can wow audiences. As an action, you summon a page and pen that you write with, which could cause extremely different results. You then roll a d4 to see what effect happens:

1. Each creature within a 10 feet radius of you must roll an Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, the writing shocked their minds so much that their Intelligence becomes 3, and they cannot speak any languages, for 1 minute.

2. Each creature within a 30 feet radius of you must roll a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they are stiffened with embarrassment for you, and become restrained until the start of your next turn.

3. You are proud of what is written, gaining 3d8 temporary hit points.

4. The work bursts into a wave of flame from the disappointment of the world itself. Each creature, including yourself, within a 15 feet radius take 2d8 fire damage.

This feature can be used a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier per long rest.

Defiance of Faith

Starting at 14th level, you have learned to channel a type of energy that completely opposes that of the gods. As an action, you can enter a state where this energy flows through you. While in this state your weapon attacks deal an additional 1d12 force damage, and your damaging spells deal an additional 3d6 force damage. Also, you have immunity to radiant and necrotic damage.

Additionally you can also shoot force projectiles up to 80 feet, with which you are proficient with as a spell attack. These take a bonus action to attack with, dealing 2d8 force damage on a hit.

This feature lasts for 1 minute, and can be used once per long rest.
