The Beast

You have made your pact with a primal and ferocious entity, one that grants you the ability to sunder your own flesh and bone, only to remake it and unleash a bestial form. Malar the Beastlord,  exarch of Silvanus, Sylune the Witch of Shadowdale, eldest weredragon of the Seven Sisters and Nobanion the Lion King,  King of Beasts are some example entities you may have entreated with to gain your pact.

Beast Warlocks often are entrusted by their patrons to hunt designated prey, protect enclaves of arbor, wreak havoc on an errant ecosystem and other similar engagements where a beastly hand or claw may be seen fit to act.

 

Expanded Spell List

The Beast 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.

Beast Expanded Spells

Beast Form

At 1st level, you acquire the ability to transform into a bestial form for battle. As a bonus action, so long as you are not wearing any armor or wielding any weapons or shields, you may transform into your Beast Form for one hour. You may dismiss the transformation at any time as a free action. You may use this transformation a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain expended uses on a Long Rest.

Choose from one of the Primal Weapons below. You gain the use of your chosen weapon while transformed, and are proficient with it. You gain an additional Primal Weapon choice at 6th Level in this class and again at 10th Level in this class.

While in this form and you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

While in this form, you gain advantage on all Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on your physical senses.
