Order of Pranah Patron

(Work in Progress v3)

You are part of the mystical Order of Pranah, a group of warlocks adept at using primordial magic and rebel against the grand cosmic order of things.

By siphoning directly divine energy, Order of Pranah warlocks defy the cosmic order imposed on mortals, try to break free the threads of fate controlled by planar entities, and seek to resist the meddling of planar entities into the realm of mortals and their souls. The Order understand that mortals, their souls and their fate, are used as tokens by those so called higher beings. Higher beings are quite clever in predetermining and tailoring the fate of mortals to pursue their plans, while making them believe that events in their lives are random or the sole results of their choices.

There may be an entity patron behind the Order, but this remains a mystery. The Order of Pranah adepts mostly operate and recruit in two outer planes: the Outlands and the Purgatory, where mortals souls that are not sent to celestial, abyssal or infernal planes are deviated to, to be banished, consumed, forgotten, and ultimately erased. Order of Pranah adepts oppose both beings that pretend to be good and lawful yet impose fate on mortals, but also abyssal beings that trade and use innocent souls to fuel their interests

To be admitted in the Order of Pranah, a potential recruit has to either have:

1- Died on a prime material world unjustly, while being framed or sacrificed to further the existence of another being that is deemed more important by the higher beings.

or

2- Defied their fate during their life-time or in their after-life as a soul on celestial planes, and due to this are denied access to or banished from the higher celestial planes as consequence for their defiance.

Bonus Proficiencies

At 1st level, you are proficient with medium armor and one skill or tool of your choice.

Unacceptance of Interference

One of the first aspects of Order of Pranah training is to ensure that warlocks have some capacity to keep the influence of outsiders at bay, at least for a short while.

Starting at 1st level, as a bonus action you can create a Protection from Evil and Good around yourself, that moves with you, and that extends to a number of friendly creatures within 10 feet around you equal to your charisma modifier. The field lasts for 1 minute.

You can use this ability once per short rest, twice starting at level 11. You regain uses after a short or long rest.

Unacceptance of Fate

Order of Pranah warlocks gain an understanding of outsiders' shenanigans and how they twist fate to impose a destiny on mortal souls. You get brief glimpses of alternate possibilities and can attempt to alter the course of fate, but there is always a risk the alternate fate won't be better.

As a reaction to any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see within 120ft, you can force a reroll of that attack, save or check (after knowing the unmodified roll result but before knowing the outcome). The reroll is made under the same conditions as the previous one. The result of the second roll replaces the first one; you cannot choose which end result to use. Further, you cannot use this ability to force the reroll of a natural 1 or 20. Sometimes, there's simply nothing you can do about it.

You can use this ability a number of times between long rests equal to your proficiency modifier.

Unacceptance of Deceit

Order of Pranah warlocks learn to see through the veil of arcane and divine lies and deceit, which god-like beings employ. Starting at 10th level, you can detect deceit. Once per long rest, for 10 minutes, you get the benefit of true sight and true hearing (you automatically know if anything you hear is the truth, provided you understand the language, telling you whether the creature truly believes it is the truth, a deliberate lie, or neither.)

Unacceptance of Death

For Order of Pranah warlocks, death can represent eternal extinction, and as such, training is given to senior Order warlocks to cheat possible death.

Starting at 14th level, the moment you fall at 0 hit points or below, you can channel a burst of primordial energy, healing you for 70 hit points.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
