The Many (Revised)

The Pact

Your patron is a powerful entity composed of a multitude of heads. These heads provide unique strengths, such as the regenerative properties of a mighty hydra, or the bewitching gaze of a medusa. Your patron may consider you one of its estranged or forgotten heads, allowing you to do as you please, or compel you to work toward a shared goal as one of its own. Those that make a pact with a patron such as this may find beauty in patterns or matching sets, or become plagued with internal bickering and indecisiveness. Regardless, one thing is for certain: two heads are always better than one. Entities of this type include the Butcher Dray, Three Headed Ettin; Grihoo, the Superhydra; Lady Feluciana, Legendary Medusa Sorceress; the Thousand Voices, Supreme Soul Vortex; Vaanor, Primeval Cerberus; and other extremely powerful or godlike multi-headed or -conscious beings, swarms, or hiveminds.

Eldritch Heads

At 1st level, you gain a number of eldritch heads equal to your proficiency bonus. Only you and creatures with truesight can see these heads, which sprout from your shoulders as representations of your patron. You can choose to ignore the heads and cause them to vanish from your vision. These eldritch heads provide you with motes of power from your patron that can be expended to grant you the following benefits: 

 

• As a Bonus action on your turn, you may expend a Head to throw it with Vicious intent towards a creature within 120 feet. Roll a spell attack roll and upon a Hit, Roll 1d10+ Cha mod force damage. This damage scales up a D10 at 5th (2d10), 11th(3d10) and 17th(4d10) level.
• When you make a Charisma (Intimidation) check, you can expend one head to gain advantage on the roll. When you do, your eldritch heads become briefly visible to everyone. 
• When you fail a death saving throw, you can expend one head to succeed instead. 

 

When a head is expended, its appearance becomes wispy and gaseous, but its glowing eyes remain. You regain all expended heads when you finish a long rest. In addition, once per day when you finish a short rest, you can recover heads equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded up). 

Improved Eldritch Heads

Improved Eldritch Heads
At 6th level, you’ve devised more ways to use your eldritch heads. You gain the following benefits: 

• You can use a bonus action to expend one eldritch head, reabsorbing it to gain a number of temporary hit points equal to 2d6 + half your level. 
• When you take damage, you can use your reaction and expend a head to reduce the damage by 2d6 + half your level. 
• When you fail a saving throw against being charmed, frightened, put to sleep, or stunned, you can expend one head to reroll the saving throw. If you do so, you must use the new roll.

Groupthink

Starting at 10th level, your eldritch heads are always there to support your mortal mind and body. You gain a bonus to Intelligence checks, Wisdom (Perception) checks, and Intelligence saving throws equal to half your proficiency bonus.

Eldritch Frenzy

Starting at 14th level, you can use an action to revive your expended eldritch heads in a frenzied burst, during which time they become visible to everyone. When you do, you regain all expended heads, which releases a thunderous roar audible out to 300 feet as they tear into existence.

Choose a number of creatures within 60 feet of you up to the number of heads you regain in this way. Each target must make an Intelligence saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a failed save, a target takes 4d8 psychic damage and is incapacitated until the end of your next turn as its mind is flooded with otherworldly energy. On a successful save, a target takes half as much psychic damage and isn’t incapacitated.

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

Guarded

Also at 1st level, while you have at least one eldritch head remaining, you can’t be surprised, and if a creature would gain advantage on an attack roll against you due to having its ally within 5 feet of you, it makes the attack roll without advantage.
