Raven Queen Redux

Your patron is the Raven Queen, a mysterious being who rules the Shadowfell from a palace of ice deep within that dread realm. The Raven Queen watches over the world, anticipating each creature’s death and ensuring that it meets its end at the proscribed time and place. As the ruler of the Shadowfell, she dwells in a decayed, dark reflection of the world. Her ability to reach into the world is limited. Thus, she turns to mortal warlocks to serve her will. Warlocks sworn to the Raven Queen receive visions and whispers from her in their dreams, sending them on quests and warning them of impending dangers.

The Raven Queen’s followers are expected to serve her will in the world. She concerns herself with ensuring that those fated to die pass from the world as expected, and bids her agents to defeat those who seek to cheat death through undeath or other imitations of immortality. She hates intelligent undead and expects her followers to strike them down, whereas mindless undead such as skeletons and zombies are little more than stumbling automatons in her eyes.

Level 3: The Raven's Boon

At 3rd level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, martial weapons, and you gain the use of the Mastery property of one weapon you have proficiency with of your choice. When you finish a Long Rest, you can choose a different weapon and gain its Mastery property instead.

The influence of your patron also allows you to mystically channel the night through a particular weapon. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the ranged property. When you attack with that weapon, you can deal additional necrotic damage equal to your charisma bonus. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest.

Level 6: Sentinel's Flight

Starting at 6th level, you gain the service of a spirit sent by the Raven Queen to watch over you. The spirit assumes the form and game statistics of a raven, and it always obeys your commands, which you can give telepathically while it is within 100 feet of you.

While the raven is perched on your shoulder, you gain darkvision with a range of 30 feet and a bonus to your passive Wisdom (Perception) score and to Wisdom (Perception) checks. The bonus equals your Charisma modifier. If you already have Darkvision, it's range increases by 30ft..

 As a bonus action when your raven is perched on your shoulder, you can force your body to merge with your raven’s form. While merged, you become Tiny, you replace your speed with the raven’s, and you can use your action only to Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, Hide, or Search. During this time, you gain the benefits of your raven being perched on your shoulder. As an action, you and the raven return to normal.

Level 10: Curse of the Shadowfell

At 10th level, the Raven Queen grants you a protective blessing. You gain advantage on death saving throws, immunity to the frightened condition, and resistance to necrotic damage.

Shield of the Sentinel

You become the embodiment of the Raven Queen's Will, serving her every thought. At 14th level, your hit point maximum increases by 14 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

In addition, you gain the ability to summon the Blessing of the Raven Queen, offering your services in exchange for power. It graces you with supernatural speed, agility and focus, as a veil of Raven feathers swarm around you. 

As a bonus action you can summon the powers of the Shield, which lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated or are reduced to 0 hit points. You can also end the blessing at any time (no action required). 

While The Blessing is active, you gain the following benefits:

• You gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1)

• Your melee weapon attacks deal an additional 2d8 Necrotic damage.

• When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

You can use this feature once per short rest.
