The Wendigo (Public Version)

Wendigos are creatures formed by necessity driven hunger. Typically taking the form of furred, bipedal creatures with a deer skull and antlers. Those that find themselves have often succumb to immense hunger in cursed lands. However, your affliction presents itself in a different manner.

Your hunger has connected you to something beyond the regular spirits of the Wendigo, allowing you to reach out to something greater. Upon your first connection to this entity, the signature skull of the deer was front and center, staring at you with its hollow eyes. And within that brief encounter, you were tasked with solving the hunger of the spirit, like so many it has contacted before.

A proclivity for over-eating and greed, Wendigo warlocks are naturally greedy. However, their intentions are rarely good or evil, sitting on the self-serving and self-centred side of moral compasses.

A warlock of the wendigo may have different roles within the overall hierarchy of the various warlocks of the Wendigo spirit. This may be something from a simple primal hunter to a shaman-esque character, bestowing plagues and famine upon a land.

Form of The Wendigo

Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to channel the essence of your hunger into your form, allowing you to take on the shape of a wendigo, slowly altering to be more animalistic as you gain experience under the patronage of the Wendigo.

You may alter your body to better suit the spirit of the wendigo. As a bonus action, you transform for 1 minute. You gain the following benefits while transformed:

• While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.
• Whenever you hit with an unarmed strike, the damage increases by an amount based on your level in this class, as shown on the Wendigo Form Damage table.
• You gain immunity to the Poisoned condition.
  
  

  If you gain the Pact of the Blade feature at a later level, you may use your unarmed attacks as your pact weapon

  You can transform a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Form of The Wendigo Damage:
1st Lvl: 1d4
6th Lvl: 1d6
10th Lvl: 1d8

Old Hunger

At 6th level, your unending hunger has been harnessed in a peculiar manner.

As a bonus action while in the Form of the Wendigo, you may channel a long forgotten hunger, emaciating your already thin frame further. You take an amount of damage equal to your charisma modifier. Until the start of your next turn, any melee weapon attack damage you deal may add your charisma modifier.

Additionally, you gain resistance to cold damage and ignore freezing temperatures.

Vessel of The Wendigo

At 10th level, your increased exposure to the pleasures of the wendigo have molded your body to further encase the spirit of the wendigo. You gain the following benefits:

• Your walking speed is increased by 10 ft.
• You gain darkvision up to 120 ft.
• If you do not have proficiency in survival, you gain proficiency in survival.

Insatiable Appetite

You've increased your bond with your patron of hunger, further strengthening your desire to feast. This doesn't have the effect of plunging you in to a maddening hunger, but it does reward you for indulging yourself.

At 14th level, whenever you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, you can regain a number of hit points equal to your warlock level + your charisma modifier. When you do so, you gain the benefits of Old Hunger until the end of your next turn.

You may only regain hit points using this feature once per usage of Form of the Wendigo.
