Base Class: Warlock
Your patron is not a mystical or malevolent creature; rather, its an immortalized human, elf, or dwarf that has learned a plethora of information over the course of their immortal life. Immortals often avoid society and civilization. They've watched from a distance as their friend's bloodlines are extinguished and civilizations crumble. This life of solitude often distances them from humanity and make them seem more god than human. An immortal patron can be a devout monk, a druid that's exchanged it's humanity for nature, or an all mighty wizard that wished for immortality. No matter their background, an immortal has dedicated their lives to a field of study which has amassed to great power.

Posted Feb 17, 2019If anyone has any suggestions to better balance or enhance the class, please feel free to add a comment below. The Adaptive Immunity trait seems slightly underwhelming or very conditional. If you find this feature difficult to use, then try to requiring the casting time to be a bonus action rather than an action.
