Eyes of the Many

Beholders are nightmares given flesh, spherical aberrations bristling with eyestalks that unleash rays of raw, unshaped magic. Their central eye suppresses the very weave of magic, while their smaller eyes fracture reality with beams of fear, disintegration, and madness. Born from dreams that warp the waking world, each beholder is a tyrant convinced of its own perfection and threatened by all it perceives.

Though selfish and paranoid, a beholder may bind a warlock to its service when it seeks an agent beyond the reach of its lair. Others are unwilling recipients, chosen after stumbling into the creature’s alien dreamscape and forever changed by its gaze. Such bargains are not offered with benevolence but with the intent to extend the beholder’s influence, creating living instruments to shape the world according to its vision.

You draw your power from a pact with a beholder, or otherwise many eyed being.

Ever Watchful & Otherworldly Gaze

Your Patron has granted you proficiency with the Perception, Insight, or Investigation skill. Additionally, the chosen skill can use your Charisma modifier instead of it's usual one, as long as the check is based on sight.

Additionally, you can choose to channel the power of your patron's gaze. This is represented as a Ray die, which are d4s. You have a number of these dice equal to your Charisma modifier plus your proficiency bonus.

Once per turn, when you hit a creature with an attack, you can expend and roll a Ray die. The roll determines the additional effect based on the Ray table. You regain all your expended Ray dice when you finish a Short or Long Rest

When you reach certain levels in this class, the Ray die increases to d6s at level 6, d8s at level 10, and d10s at level 14.

Antimagic Glare & Aberrant Dreams

6th-level Eyes of the Many feature

You learn the spells Dispel Magic and Counterspell. These count as warlock spells and do not count against the number of warlock spells you know. You can cast each of these spells at the level of your pact magic spell slots without expending a spell slot once, regaining the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

---

 

Additionally, during sleep on a long rest, you manifest a dream fragment of yourself in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This fragment is a translucent, faded image of yourself.

While active, you can see and hear through your fragment as normal, and can move it up to 20 feet in any direction, but cannot go further than 60 feet from you. The fragment can only interact with objects and do light activity. It uses your bonus for ability checks and saving throw rolls.

The fragment has AC 14, 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. It lasts until your long rest ends or is interrupted, it is destroyed, or you become incapacitated.

You manifest the reality-bending properties of your patron, undergoing a transformation. You gain the following benefits:

- You are immune to the prone condition if you're not willing.

- When you target a creature with your Otherworldly Gaze feature, they take 3d8 additional force damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much on a success.
