Order Of The Abyss Watcher

Most believe that eldritch horrors are alien to the world, and never explore beyond their own mind. The Order of the Abyss Watcher is an enigma, even among most Blood Hunters, as they purposefully gain power beyond the Hunter's Bane, connecting their minds to the Far Realm and retaining their sanity, hopefully. Using their intelligence to stave off the intruding powers of the darkest of creatures, and even channel the dark powers into themselves, allowing them to enhance their blood and cast spells of dark power. When the Order of the Abyss Watcher turn their eyes to a certain land, the people fear their arrival, and even more as to what horrors the order watches.

Horror of the Abyss

When you reach 3rd level, you have stared at the abyss that stares back. From your time pushing your mind through the Far Realms, you have seen and studied what creatures and horrors invade the Material Plane,  and now Aberrations are included in the creature types that your Hunter's Bane feature applies to.

Pact Magic

Cantrips. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. You learn an additional warlock cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Spell Slots. The Abyss Watcher Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your warlock spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.

For example, when you are 8th level, you have two 2nd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell witch bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 2nd-level spell.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher. At 3rd level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the warlock spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Abyss Watcher table shows when you learn more warlock spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 11th level, for example, you learn a new warlock spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class and order, you can choose one of the warlock spells you know and replace it with another spell from the warlock spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells, so you use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
