You call upon the holiday spirits to infuse your eldritch powers with the magic of the season. As you cast Yuletide Pact, your eyes glimmer with a warm, festive light, and a subtle scent of evergreen and cinnamon fills the air. Your patron, whether Fey, Fiend, or Great Old One, grants you a temporary boon inspired by the joyous time of year.
While under the effects of Yuletide Pact, you gain the following benefits:
-
Frostbound Strikes: Your eldritch blasts, melee attacks, and spells deal an additional 1d6 cold damage. The damage increases to 2d6 at 5th level, 3d6 at 11th level, and 4d6 at 17th level.
-
Gift of Resilience: You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed.
-
Festive Presence: As a bonus action, you can project an aura of festive magic in a 10-foot radius. Allies within this radius gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier at the start of their turn.
Casting at Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the cold damage of your attacks and spells increases by an additional 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
Roleplaying Note: Yuletide Pact is not just a display of power but a manifestation of the warlock's connection to the holiday season. It might include playful jingles or whispers from the patron, further enhancing the festive atmosphere. The warlock becomes a beacon of holiday cheer, blending their dark powers with the magic of celebration.
