The Arboreal

"Larger than life, Arborea is a place of violent moods and deep affections, of whim backed by steel, and of passions that blaze brightly until they burn out. Its good-natured inhabitants are dedicated to fighting evil, but their reckless emotions sometimes break free with devastating consequences. Rage is as common and as honored as joy in Arborea. There the mountains and forests are extravagantly massive and beautiful, and every glade and stream is inhabited by nature spirits that brook no infringement." Like it's home, your patron is capable of both deep affection and violent temper.  While committed to defeating evil, to them fear, joy, melancholy and rage are equally beautiful emotions, each worthy of their own moments. Like your patron, your magic is full of passion and wild at heart, but always willing to fight for what is right at a moment's notice. 

Expanded Spell List

The Arboreal lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Arboreal Expanded Spells

Rage

On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action.

While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren’t wearing heavy armor:

• You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
• When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls. This increases to +3 at warlock level 9, and +4 at warlock level 16. 
• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

If you are able to cast spells, you can’t cast them or concentrate on them while raging.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven’t attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.

Once you have raged the number of times shown for your barbarian level in the Rages column of the Barbarian table, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again.

Defender of the Wilds

At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. You also learn the druidcraft and light cantrips. 

Joyful Warrior

Starting at 6th level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn. The first creature you hit on each of your turns with a reckless weapon attack takes extra damage equal to 1d6 + half your warlock level, rounded up. The extra damage is radiant.

Foreboding Foresight

Beginning at 10th level, when you or a creature you can see takes damage from an attack, you can use your reaction to move towards the creature making the attack, and if you have movement to get within melee range of that creature, you can make an attack against it. The distance you move as your reaction is subtracted from your available movement on your turn. On a hit, the amount you roll is subtracted from the damage of that creature’s attack and instead damages that creature by the rolled amount.  

Stricken with Grief

Upon reaching 14th level, when a creature you can see and consider an ally is knocked unconscious, you can on your next turn cry out and inspire others. Your unconscious allies with 30 feet of you have advantage on death saving throws, and your other allies who can hear you gain advantage on saving throws and attack rolls until the start of your next turn.  

Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.
