the hollow choir

The Hollow Choir is not a single entity but a convergence of voices that do not speak. It is the echo of a forgotten god, the pressure of a silence so deep it becomes a presence, and the terror that fills the void where sound should be. Warlocks who serve the Choir learn to weaponize quiet, unravel speech, and instill fear with a whisper that never comes.

Those who hear the Choir’s call often describe it not as a sound, but as the absence of one — a hollow resonance that fills the mind and demands obedience. In battle, these warlocks become living voids, suppressing magic, unraveling words, and dragging foes into crushing, psychic quiet.

Level 3: voice of the hollow

Your patron grants you the power to wield supernatural silence.

Silent Casting. You can cast a spell without verbal components. You can do this a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Hollow Blast. If you know Eldritch Blast, it deals psychic damage instead of force. A creature hit by it cannot speak until the start of your next turn.

Choir’s Step. Your footsteps make no noise and you gain advantage on stealth checks

Level 6: dreadful counter

When a creature you can see targets you with an attack or spell, you can use your reaction to force it to make a Wisdom save.

On a failure:

• It becomes Frightened of you until the end of its next turn

• It is Silenced while frightened

Uses per long rest = Charisma modifier.

Level 10: silence in the blood

The Choir rewards your violence with a surge of dreadful quiet.

When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you can choose one creature you can see within 30 feet. That creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be Frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

While frightened in this way:

• The creature is Silenced (it cannot speak or use verbal components)

• It has disadvantage on its next attack roll

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus plus your charisma modifier, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest

Level 14: silent verse

You unleash the final hymn of the Hollow Choir — a devouring silence that pulls the world toward its center.

As an action, choose a point you can see within 60 feet. A 15‑foot‑radius sphere of supernatural silence appears there and lasts for 1 minute.

While the sphere persists:

• Creatures in the area must make a Strength saving throw at the start of their turn or be pulled 10 feet toward the center

• Creatures that start their turn in the sphere take 2d10 psychic damage

• All creatures in the sphere are Silenced (they cannot speak or use verbal components)

• Creatures in the sphere have disadvantage on attack rolls

• The sphere is difficult terrain

• As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the sphere up to 20 feet to a space you can see

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
