The Beholding (The Magnus Archives)

You have become an Avatar of The Beholding, one of the fourteen Fears. This great power feeds on the fear of being watched, of being known, but also feeds into the desire to gain knowledge. You may be associated with one of its' organizations, or you may have been chosen some other way, but regardless, you are now beholden to (and by) The Eye. Its motives could be any number of specifics, but there is always an underlying desire to Know. It Knows you completely, but, by drawing on its power, you can gain forbidden knowledge of your own.

Expanded Spell List

The Beholding 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.

Thrall of the Eye

Starting at level 1, you gain proficiency in perception and persuasion, and you have advantage on persuasion checks when attempting to obtain information from a person.

Gaze Hopper

You gain the ability to see through any eye that is within 120 ft. This range increases by 10ft with every warlock level you gain.

Avatar's Endurance

You no longer require food, water or sleep, but you must consume information to survive. If you go 3 days without making a persuasion check, you take 1 point of exhaustion. You can still benefit from long and short rests.

Smiting Gaze

Your powers have grown to such an extent that you can harm a creature just by Knowing it. Once every long rest, you can use this ability/ Its effects differ depending on how many hit points it has:

- 100 or fewer: You know the creature's current goal.

- 70 or fewer: You know the creature's deepest desire and it becomes frightened of you for 1 minute.

- 50 or fewer: You know the creature's deepest fear, and its current hit points are halved.

- 30 or fewer: You gain all the knowledge stated above, and the creature dies instantly.
