The Flesh

You have made a pact with beings of unsettling natures, like The Great Hunger or other abominations. These entities may be eldritch ones that have attempted to exist in distorted physical forms, or are a parasitic presence throughout the material plane. Some seek them for enhancements, others for immortality itself. Whatever the case, you have been injected with the patron itself like an implanted seed. Rather than a foreign entity with a sketchy connection, this patron exists within your form, slowly and gradually becoming one with your tissues and organs, until you will become a physical extension of the patron itself.

Sturdy Form

You can feel your flesh strengthen and grow as it writhes about inside you. At first level, your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

Consume

You are able to gain brief defense from nearby sources of substance. At 1st level when a creature within 10 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points, as a reaction you can gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your warlock level (minimum of 1).

Assimilate

Not only are you able to feed off of other flesh, but you are able to choose to attain its shape and alter yourself. At 6th level, when a humanoid dies within 10 feet of you, you can absorb its form using your reaction. You retain this form until you use it or you finish a long rest.
You can use the form as an action. When you do so, it vanishes, transforming into a disguise that appears on you. You now look like the dead person, but healthy and alive. This disguise lasts for 1 hour or until you end it as a bonus action.

While you're in the disguise, you gain access to all information that the humanoid would freely share with a casual acquaintance. Such information includes general details on its background and personal life, but doesn't include secrets. The information is enough that you can pass yourself off as the person by drawing on its memories.

Another creature can see through this disguise by succeeding on a Wisdom (Insight) check contested by your Charisma (Deception) check. You gain a +5 bonus to your check.

Once you absorb a body with this feature, you can't absorb another one with it until you finish a short or long rest.

Unnatural Composition

By now, you are becoming more composed to that of your patron. At 10th level, you have advantage on saving throws against being blinded, deafened, grappled, or poisoned, and you have resistance against poison and acid damage.

Abomination Transformation

For only an explosive moment, you are able to reveal your true form beneath your skin in a mass of twisted muscles and veiny tentacles. At 14th level and as a bonus action, you transform yourself into a writhing form. You remain in this form for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you die, or if you dismiss it as a bonus action. While in this form:

• The ground within 30 feet of you is difficult terrain for your enemies
• Your reach increases by 5 feet
• On your turn, you can move through any space that is at least 3 inches in diameter without squeezing, but you can’t willingly stop in a space smaller than that, upon which you flow to the nearest space that can fit you.
• You know the Thorn Whip cantrip, which you can choose to use its regular Piercing damage, or replace it with either Poison or Acid damage
• You have resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and as a bonus action you can gain temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + half your warlock level
• You are considered an abomination type

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