Base Class: Warlock
Your patron is predatory being with a frightening display of power that consumes its victims. You have bound yourself to a powerful vampire, ancient beast, lycanthrope, succubus/incubus, oni, or other powerful entity that feasts on the life force and blood of others. Your pact with that being grants you the supernatural abilities and weapons of a horrifying predator.
Being connected to such a patron can offer changes to your behavior, at times. You might find yourself blood thirsty or feel a great urge to hunt, unintentionally stalking those you associate or interact with, or having fits of aggression or rage. These characteristics may be conflicting to your character or fit entirely for the sake of your goals. Regardless, these urges may easily be quelled after a good battle.

Aspect of the Predator
Starting when you choose this pact at 1st level, you manifest an aspect of your patron's predatory power. As a bonus action, you transform for 1 minute. You gain the following benefits while transformed:
• Bite. Your teeth extend into vicious fangs. As an action, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach. Your bite deals 1d4 piercing damage plus necrotic damage equal to your proficiency bonus + warlock level. Once per turn, when you damage a with this bite, you regain a number of hit points equal to your charisma modifier(minimum of one hit point).
• Predatory Visage. You gain advantage on Charisma(Intimidation) and Charisma(Persuasion) ability checks.
The appearance of your Aspect of the Predator reflects your patron. For example, your face might transform into bat-like features from your vampire patron, you may appear frighteningly beautiful from your succubus/incubus patron, or you may take on a more beastly appearance from your ancient lycanthrope patron. You can transform a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Relentless Hunter
Starting at 6th level, your patron's power has a profound effect on you. You gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed, and you can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check. Additionally, your patron gives you the power to mark and track your enemies and prey. As an action, you can choose a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. That creature becomes magically marked by you. While the marked creature is within 1 mile of your location, you gain the following benefits:
• You know the direction and distance of the marked creature. If the creature is moving, you know the direction of the marked creature's movement.
• The marked creature can't benefit from being hidden or invisible from you, while it's within 30 feet of you.
• Your walking speed doubles when moving towards the marked creature.
The effect of this feature ends early if the creature is beyond 1 mile from you, if the creature is protected from tracking by magical means such as a nondetection spell, you become incapacitated, or you drop to 0 hit points. Once this effect ends, you can't use it again unless you expend a warlock spell slot or finish a short or long rest.
Predatory Resistance
Starting at 10th level, your patron grants you resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. You do not gain this benefit if an attack is made with silvered weapons.
Apex Predator
Starting at 14th level, your patron's predatory gifts have reached their pinnacle. While your Aspect of the Predator feature is active, you become immune to being charmed or frightened. Additionally, your Aspect of the Predator bite deals double piercing and necrotic damage to creatures that are charmed, frightened, or marked by your Relentless Hunter feature.
