I am designing a Warlock homebrew called the Blood Pact Warlock. The fluff is that it's either a blood-eating nature spirit or a vestige of a once-powerful vampire trying to recreate itself. These spirits prefers bonding with tough, savage races, and sometimes even animals. However, they are wary of bonding with particularly tough creatures such as dragons, as they fear getting consumed by their would-be beneficiaries.
Pact Boon:
Blood Pact familiars are often Quasits that prefer remaining in vampire bat form.
Pact of the Blade:
A Blood Pact Warlock might use its own natural weaponry if they have them, or a morningstar with its spikes made to look like teeth.
Pact of the Tome:
Your Book of Shadows might be a leather bound tome written in blood, or written into your own body in scars.
I want the crunch to reflect that these creatures are casting primarily through their bodies, going so far as to use their Constitution for casting.
Unfortunately, I am kind of stuck on all the crunch related abilities. I have maybe its first level ability:
1st Level Warlock Ability: Blood Potency
For every Warlock level you have, add 1 to the number of hit points you gain. In addition, you can replace Charisma with Constitution for the purposes of Spell Save DC, Spell Attack Modifier, and Eldritch Invocations that involve adding Charisma to damage, such as Agonizing Blast or Lifedrinker.
I'm stuck on the 6th, 10th, and 14th level abilities, as well as the Expanded Spell List. The spells should be ones that cause bloody lacerations or make killing easier.
Spell List
1 - Bane
2 -
3 -
4 -
5 -
Any help would be appreciated.
