Great Old One Patrons: The Seven Sins

Wrath, Envy, Greed, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, Pride; the Seven Deadly Sins. They are the Chaos bringers in every world and plane of existence. They reek havoc upon every living thing. They even drag the weak in spirit down below the ground. Those who fall too far may even make deals with their Deadly Sin and make them their Deadly Patron. Those who follow this path are cutthroat and will do whatever they can to get what they want. Those who try to stray always end up under the unforgiving influence of their patron. Only a select few can live to warn of the danger of The Seven Deadly Sins, but not without punishment.

 

 

This is a long one so get ready

The Furious, Wrath

Wrath, the Sin of Unforgiving Anger will bestow upon you great strength. The only thing he asks is that you behead 7 creatures every day. You gain proficiency with all weapons and a gift from Wrath. Choose either a Cursed Greataxe or a Cursed Longsword. The curse on these weapons makes sure that you meet your quota or you suffer 1d4 fire damage at the end of the day as Wrath's little reminder of what he's asked you to do. You are bound to the weapon you choose, though if you go through a 1 hour ritual, you can switch it out for the other weapon. The Weapon can also act as your arcane focus.

Wrath also grants an intense aura of rage. You have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks.

Your Fatal Flaw is the fact that you are easily angered and get into fights often.

The Coveter, Envy

Envy, the Sin of Malicious Jealousy, will grant you the power to exploit weaknesses in others for your own gain. He gives you a gift that will help you destroy lives from the inside out. In return, he asks that you sow chaos and despair in the lives of 7 people every week. His gift is either a pair of Emerald Glasses that can point out the physical weaknesses in any creature or a necklace with a Peridot Heart that can point out any creature's fatal flaw. These weaknesses are only revealed to you, as the Gift is only attuned to you. You can spend 1 hour to perform a ritual that will allow you to change the gift to the other option. If you fail to meet the quota, his gift will place one of 7 curses on you that only a wish spell can undo. A curse lasts until you meet the quota. Once the quota is met, one of Envy's curses will fade. These curses can stack. The curses are as follows: 

1: Every time you use your Sinful Gift, you take 1d4 psychic damage per curse bestowed upon you.

2: Your skin turns a sickly green, giving you disadvantage on all Charisma checks you make while under this effect.

3: Your malicious intents on a creature are revealed to them if not already apparent.

4: Your Gift has a 10 percent chance to fail when used.

5: Reduce your Wisdom score by 1 every time you use your Gift. Your Wisdom score returns to normal when the curse is removed.

6: Reduce your Charisma score by 1 every time you use your Gift. Your Charisma score returns to normal when the curse is removed.

7: Whenever you see someone fail at something, you laugh at and heckle them for it, possibly changing people's view of you.

Envy also gives you the ability to look further into creatures and objects and find their weaknesses a lot easier. Whenever you try to find weaknesses in a creature or object, treat any roll of 7 or lower as an 8.

Your Fatal Flaw is your festering spite of the accomplishments of others.

Lust gives her followers the power to seduce almost anyone, all she asks in return is that you lie down with at least 7 people per week. Her Sinful Gift appears as either a pair of heart shaped earrings (which allow you to add half of your proficiency bonus to any check you make to seduce someone) or a Rose Quartz Bracelet (which allows you to force a creature to make a Wisdom saving throw of your Sin DC or become charmed by you for 1 hour. You can only use this bracelet once per day.) If a follower fails to meet the quota, she whips their back 7 times, dealing 7d4 damage and 1d4 damage every day that they fail to meet the requirement. The aftermath damage stacks and is dealt with the initial damage every time they take it.

Lust also bestows upon you enhanced charm. You gain advantage on any Charisma (Persuasion) checks or Charisma (Performance) checks made to seduce a creature.

Those who follow this Sin are normally thieves of different talents, ranging from hagglers to crude business men to kleptomaniacal criminals. Their aim is material gain and Greed helps "satisfy" their greed. His Gift to his followers is either a black cloak (advantage on Stealth checks) or a golden cane with an onyx head (advantage on Persuasion checks). His requirement is that you steal 70 gp per day through Persuasion or Sleight of Hand. If you fail to meet this quota, he will take 700 gp worth of belongings and coin from you, excluding his Gift.

Greed bestows upon you great luck when stealing things as well. You gain advantage on all Sleight of Hand checks and Persuasion checks made to steal or haggle.

Your Fatal Flaw falls along the lines of either you always feel an overwhelming urge to steal or an overwhelming urge to haggle. Often times it is both.

At the end of a short rest, you can roll hit dice or you can spend 2 hours short resting to take a nap and regain half of your lost hit points. if you choose to nap, you can not roll hit dice to regain more hit points and you can not be woken up from this nap.

His followers often eat too much for their own well being but they eat anyways because a lot of the food they consume goes straight into the gullet of Gluttony himself. His Gift to his followers comes in the form of either a silver Fork and Knife (allowing you to turn anything they touch into something cuttable and edible) or a necklace that has the gaping mouth of Gluttony depicted in White Moonstone (allowing you to detach your jaw to fit bigger things in your mouth, kinda like Wario). What he asks of you is that you eat 7 pounds (3.2 kg) worth of food every time you sit down to eat. Those calories don't satisfy you either. they go straight down the gullet of Gluttony. Every time you fail this task, you gain a 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) of fat that won't go away. Every 12 inches (30.5 cm) of fat you gain reduces your speed by 10'.

A follower of Pride has an achievement that they are willing to protect with their life, which is their Fatal Flaw. Pride's Gift  comes in the form of a Jagged Crown that, when worn by you, allows you to assert your "superiority" over others. 7 times a day, you can force a target to make a Charisma Saving Throw against your Warlock spell DC. If they fail, they fall under the effect of the Suggestion Spell. While under the effect of this spell, they look to be under a lot of emotional strain and on the verge of breakdown. He has no task for you to complete, for he knows that his influence on you will work it's magic on you. Every time you hear someone talk about their achievements or you want to talk about your own, you feel an overwhelming urge to attempt to demean or humiliate the person you are talking to or the people that are listening. If you don't want to do this, you must succeed against a DC 20 Charisma Saving Throw or fall to the temptation.

Your enhanced Hubris also gives you advantage on all Intimidation checks.

All creatures in this line must make a Constitution Saving Throw against your Sin DC or be dropped to 0 Hit Points.
