Tales of the Valiant Players Guide (pg. 98)
Your patron is a formless entity given life by an endless hunger for death. These patrons are sometimes called spirits, but their power is far beyond that of the mere undead. Whether born from the collective consciousness of a slaughtered army, a legendary warrior murdered by treachery, or a sentience bound within a cursed blade— Reaper patrons desire glorious bloodshed above all else and seek warlocks capable of feeding their hunger.
EXPANDED TALENT LIST
3rd-Level Reaper Feature
When you gain a new talent, you can select that talent from the magic or martial talent list (see Talents in Chapter 4).
REAPER PACT SPELLS
3rd-Level Reaper Feature
You gain pact spells at the warlock levels listed in the Reaper Spells table. See the Warlock Subclass class feature for how these spells work.
REAPER’S MANTLE
3rd-Level Reaper Feature
You can wrap yourself in a mantle of eldritch power that weakens nearby foes. As a bonus action, you can activate this mantle for 1 minute. It ends early if you die or become incapacitated. While active, you gain the following benefits:
• If a hostile creature within 5 feet of you dies, you regain hit points equal to your PB.
• When you deal damage to a creature within 5 feet of you, that creature takes additional necrotic damage equal to your PB.
• When you make an attack roll against a creature within 5 feet of you, the attack is considered a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
You can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
ELDRITCH WARRIOR
7th-Level Reaper Feature
When you take an action to use your Eldritch Blast feature, you can also make a single melee attack against a creature within 5 feet of you as part of that same action.
SHIELD OF SOULS
11th-Level Reaper Feature
When you reduce a hostile creature to 0 HP while your reaper’s mantle is active, you can use your reaction to absorb part of the slain creature’s spirit. When you do so, you gain a +1 to AC. This bonus is cumulative, increasing to a maximum bonus equal to your CHA modifier (minimum of +1). This bonus lasts for the duration of your reaper’s mantle or until you take any amount of damage.
SWIFT WINGS
15th-Level Reaper Feature
As an action, you can make a single melee weapon attack against each creature of your choice within 5 feet of you. On a successful hit, a creature takes additional necrotic damage equal to your CHA modifier (minimum of 1). If none of your targets are reduced to 0 HP by these attacks, you gain one level of exhaustion.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
