The Living Plague

You are a poor unfortunate who has been afflicted with one of the plagues of the land, and as such your mortal life is nearing it's end. At least, that would be the case if not for the fact this disease seems to have it's own motives. A conscious voice can be heard in your mind as a sentient virus has chosen you as it's champion plague spreader. If you do not follow it's commands, you may find the symptoms of the affliction becoming worse and worse, until your untimely demise.

Warlocks of the Living Plague are a walking carrier for one of the deadliest diseases to afflict the lands. Unlike most other Warlocks you will carry your patron with you at all times, and their influence will always be felt. They may also find their bodies being affected by the disease in a number of ways, from diseased pustules growing across your skin, to heavy rashes, or even just bearing a sickly aura everywhere you wander.

 

Bonus Proficiencies

Your connection to this disease has given you a proficiency with the Medicine skill, as well as a proficiency with the Poisoner's kit

Plague Carrier

Your disease can extend it's powers through your magics, spreading your affliction and damaging the target with the poison you carry within you.

When you cast a spell you can choose to change the damage type to Poison and if the attack hits the target that target gains a Plague mark. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma Modifier (minimum 1) per short rest.

Plague Marker

The enemies you fight will soon bear the same virus which you carry, but for them it will be an affliction they will not survive.

While a creature has a Plague Marker, you are able to locate the exact location of that creature so long as you are within 1 Mile of it, and at the end of it's turn it must make a Constitution saving throw higher than your Spell Save DC or take 1d8 Poison damage.

Spreading through Death

This disease spreads through the corpses of those who have fallen to it's wretched grasp.

When a creature dies while it has 1 or more Plague Markers, you can use your reaction in order to spread those Plague Markers to other creatures within 10 feet, allocated as you decide between them. The creature can make a Constitution Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC and on a success they receive no Plague Markers. You can use this feature twice per short rest.

Vile Discharge

You have learned how to control the virus enough so that you may force its essence out of your body and afflict an enemy with it.

As an action, you can make a Ranged Spell Attack against a creature within 30 ft of you, on a hit that creature takes 2d8 Poison damage and gains 2 Plague Markers. The creature then must make a Constitution Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC, on a fail they will begin to forcefully vomit, forcing them prone and giving all creatures within 10 ft a Plague Marker.

Plague Master

You have become a master of all things disease. 

You are now immune to all diseases, and gain Resistance to Poison damage.
