A note about 3rd party content

When you want to create a character that is outside the normal character
generation rules, it’s always important to remember that you’re engaging in
a collaborative story told by you, the DM, and the rest of the party, and we
encourage adaptability and flexibility. What is said here may apply to any
homebrew or third-party class/variant that you may want to play.
• For Everyone: It is your game, your world, your character, your story.
Everyone contributes to this story; don’t hesitate to make changes, tweaks,
and adjustments as you see fit. My words (as the creator) are not law,
just ideas, interpretations and inspiration for you to use.
• As the Player: Provide the GM with the class/variant you
want to play, pitch the character concept and be flexible in
building and exploring the character options with your GM.
• As the GM: Try to work with your player’s pitch and how can
it work with the setting and story you think you’ll be telling?

 Welcome seekers and travelers,
It appears that you have tumbled into the greatest responsibility of your life: the protection and rearing of a
powerful and majestic creature. You care for and protect the creature, and in-return for your kindness, you
will be granted some of its growing power.
In these pages, I will attempt to glean answers to any questions you may have, but...my time is short and
your egg will soon hatch. Now, listen closely...

Roll

1d12
You found your patron for sale at a black market. When you became aware of one another the
1
connection was instant. Did you purchase your patron or did you obtain them in another way?

While seeking shelter from a storm, you and the patron ended up in the same safe spot. You
agreed to share the space while you waited out the storm. During the night, you two struck up
2
a conversation and learned of one another’s needs. You agreed to become caretaker and patron,
and the pair of you have worked together ever since.

The patron’s parents became aggressive and had to be put down. You chose to adopt the creature
3 instead of leaving it. Your relationship started off rocky. Has it smoothed out since then, or are
things still tense at times?

You found the patron’s egg (or its infant form) in the lair of a spellcaster. It appeared as though
4 the spellcaster was going to attempt a ritual on the egg before you defeated them. You cared for
the egg and the creature imprinted on you.

On a starlit night in the wilds, you heard a lonesome song across the night air. When you found
5 the source of this harrowing melody, you discovered the patron. What was your patron so
forlorn about? Why did you decide to help it?

Your patron was being chased by other, larger creatures that wished to eat it. You intervened and

patron offered you a deal and you accepted, becoming their caretaker.

An adult version of your patron appeared before you, juvenile patron by their side. They forced

A friend of yours was the original warlock for your patron. Unfortunately, they died. Why did
8 you become the patron’s new caretaker? Does the patron attempt to hide how desperately they
miss your friend? How has this affected your relationship?

While traveling, you awoke one night to find the patron in your rucksack, devouring your rations
and other supplies. The famished creature was initially hostile if you attempted to get your food

back. How did you make them trust you? Did you offer more food? Perhaps some water? What
about this interaction endeared you enough to become a caretaker?

Your patron sought out you in particular. Perhaps they arrived on your doorstep or at your
campsite one morning and demanded you swear a pact with them. Why were you chosen?
10
Do you even know? Work out the reason with your Dungeon Master and determine if your
character is aware of it.

You and your patron died at the exact same time. Both of your deaths were unplanned accidents
and the deity of death apologized to you both personally. Unfortunately, they could not revive
11
you both without intermingling your souls. Now you and the patron are forever connected. How
do the both of you feel about this arrangement?

While sleeping one night, you had a strange dream. In the dream, the patron reached out to

sought out the patron through these mysterious portents and eventually found one another.

Your Patron, the gumptious familiar, has recently developed extreme overconfidence. It takes daring leaps, challenges

Your Patron, in all its infinite wisdom, has gotten its head (or another appendage) stuck in something. It might be the

You are awoken late at night to a loud clattering and clamoring. Your Patron, bless its soul, has knocked over literally
5
everything in your room or campsite while running around at three in the morning.
Your Patron, the finicky friend, has become a picky eater. For the next week, it only wants to eat one specific type of

food prepared in one specific way. It balks at anything else you attempt to feed it, even if it needs it to grow up strong.
Your Patron, ever alert, stares off in the distance every night for the remainder of the current adventure. Even though
7
you can clearly see that it is looking at nothing you cannot shake the feeling that something is there.
Your Patron, thinking itself playful, has taken something incredibly valuable of yours and hidden it. Depending on its
8 species, the hiding place varies. Phoenix Patrons might favor under campfires or in trees, while couatl Patrons might
hide things in bushes or burrows.
Your Patron, the spirited devil, has its own recurring nemesis. Unfortunately, it is its own reflection. It attempts to
9
attack mirrored versions of itself in rivers, mirrors, and other reflective surfaces.
You awake at night unable to breathe. Your Patron, the cuddly friend, has decided to rest itself over your mouth and
10
nose. It is sound asleep and you are running out of air.
You wake in the morning to find that your Patron, the sly scoundrel, is nowhere to be found. After searching
11
everywhere, you find it snug and asleep in your closed backpack.
Your Patron runs directly into the next door you approach at full speed. Depending on its size and strength, there is a
12
good chance that it destroys the door.
Your Patron, the playful beast, has developed a new game. The game consists of taking things you love and pushing
13 them off high places. The game can occur anywhere. Such venues include tree stumps, the table at a tavern, or even
bottomless chasms! Whatever is nearby will do!
Your Patron, loyal to the end, has decided that your personal space is irrelevant. Any time you need a moment of
14 privacy, such as when you relieve yourself or during a confession of love, your Patron is sure to follow and make its
presence know. Loudly. Repeatedly.
Your Patron, your friend-til-the-end, begins to shout at something much larger and much more dangerous than it.
15 The moment it gains the attention of its target, it promptly runs behind you and graciously allows you deal with the
problem.
Your Patron, your lifelong bosom buddy, grows impatient. The next time it wants your attention and you don’t readily
16
give it, regardless of your reason, it gently puts an armed appendage on your face as if to say “Listen, buddy.”
Your Patron, who’s normally so well-behaved, has really taken a liking to an important person you’ve recently met.
17 Unfortunately, your Patron’s advances make the recipient anxious as they have a negative history with those types of
creatures. Your Patron does not seem to notice and continues to try to befriend them.

Your Patron, who loves to share, has developed a passion for sharing meals. More specifically, it wants to share your
18 meals. Any time you try to eat, especially if you don’t put your fork directly into your mouth, your Patron attempts to
eat your food.
Your Patron, who’s never been like this before, has been causing trouble in town. Its bad behavior has drawn the ire of

You Patron, who’s sweet and attached to you, does not want you to leave it alone or head into danger. Any time you

Your patron needs you just as much as you need them.
The phoenix chick saved you and you saved them. In
exchange for the love, affection, and succor that you
give the phoenix, it imparts you with what powers it
can spare. As it grows up and recovers its might, the
power it offers grows in strength and size as well. The
phoenix may make difficult requests of you, but it
is not actively antagonistic in the same way that the
Fiend or the Archfiend may be.

Creating your Patron

Just a few cosmetic things to think about when
imagining your patron.
Enflamed: Are phoenixes fully enwreathed in flame

The phoenix’s flames grow in strength as the sun reaches its zenith and weaken as the sun sets.
1 At night, the phoenix gets quite chilly and loves to snuggle up with its warlock or another ally to
stay warm.

The phoenix enjoys swimming in boiling water or soups. During meal time it happily floats
2 around in the stewpot and gets huffy if it is taken out. It will spend the rest of the night sulking
in the campfire.

The phoenix refuses to eat uncooked foods. Any bugs that it catches are first char-broiled before
3 they are eaten. Particularly finicky phoenix chicks will attempt to steal spices, such as hot
peppers, to flavor their meal.

The phoenix is plumper than most phoenix chicks. It loves flying and attempts to jump off of
4 things with great frequency, experiencing mixed results. It remains plump for the rest of its life
but becomes an exceptionally strong flier.

The phoenix is incredibly anxious at all times. It panics during rainstorms and sticks close to the
5 warlock, preferring to hide in their clothes.

The phoenix thinks that its warlock is somewhat weak. It will occasionally attract trouble in

Guardian of Sunset
Guardians of the divine and untenable, couatls are a
delicate, yet fastidious species that, thanks to their
celestial nature, quite literally embody goodness.
Breeding rarely, young couatls, known as couatl
neonates, are often in great danger as the auspices of
their birth usually mean at least one of their parents
is in mortal danger. In cases where both parents
perish before the egg hatches, these highly intelligent
creatures will seek out an individual to broker a
deal with. Their terms are fair and their preferences
picky. Warlocks of couatl neonates find that they
value fastidiousness, are disappointed when their
warlocks lie or withhold information, and seek to
find their purpose in life.

Creating your Patron

Just a few cosmetic things to think about when
imagining your patron.
Scales: The color of the couatl’s scales tells
you much about its origins.
Sounds Couatl: Unlike snakes, couatl are capable
of eventually mimicking speech from any
culture. Though while young, they tend to hiss,
chirp, and occasionally make some sort of
clicking noise.

Snakelet Patrons.

cling tightly to their warlock.

The couatl really, really dislikes when their warlock or their allies lie. It gently nips at a lying
2
character in frustration any time they attempt to deceive someone.

The couatl’s scales are a tarnished or dull color. It’s self-conscious about that. Each time it sheds,
3
it seems very excited that this might be the time they will get vibrant scales.

The couatl sneaks away at night to find gifts for its warlock or their allies. In the wild, it finds
neat objects. While within the confines of civilization, it takes a few gold coins, pinches objects it
4
wants, and leaves the coin. It usually overpays for what it takes in
the extreme.

The couatl often stares off at things that aren’t there. When the warlock gains truesight, they can

see what the couatl is looking at.

The couatl loves spending time in water. It frequently tries to slither into waterskins, mugs,

Just moments after emerging from its thick, plated egg,
a dragon turtle is already the size of a large dog. Dragon
Turtles are methodical patrons that urge caution and
slow progress over quick bursts of frantic energy.

power given cannot be taken away.

The edges of the dragon turtle’s shell are particularly sharp. It attempts to dull these edges by

rubbing up against hard objects like walls, stones, trees, or unequipped suits of armor.

The dragon turtle is uncharacteristically afraid of deep, dark water. It takes a great deal of
2
reassurance to coax it into swimming in water it cannot see the bottom of.

The dragon turtle enjoys playing pranks in cahoots with its caretaker. Its favorite prank is to
3 sneak behind an upright creature while the warlock gives them a push backward. The dragon
turtle does not realize that pranks such as that might actually hurt its friends.

The dragon turtle gently hums at night. As it ages, the song becomes deeper and bassier, not
4
unlike a melodic whale song.

The dragon turtle salivates at the smell of cooking meat. It greatly prefers either the meat of

Guardian of the Dragon
All chromatic dragons are evil. All metallic dragons are
good. These universal truths held by the common folk
are without a doubt, untenably wrong. These majestic,
intelligent creatures feel powerful emotions and think
in alien ways that mortals have trouble understanding,
but they are not born good or evil. A red dragon’s heart is
full of fiery passion, a silver dragon’s need to protect can
become toxic, and a white dragon’s simplicity can enjoy
the small moments of life.
Dragon whelps can survive on their own, but these clever
creatures know that they are best served by followers.
Whether the dragon was in danger and accepted a
warlock of convenience, or it offered its services to a
mortal seeking its aid, dragon whelp patrons are young,
temperamental, and just as in need of the warlock as the
warlock is in need of them.

Creating your Patron

Just a few cosmetic things to think about when imagining
your paton.
Dragon Type: What color is the wyrmling? What is it’s
unique breath?

Dragon Wrymling Patron Quirks

The following table has quirks unique to dragon wyrmling
patrons.

The dragon believes that it is the “party leader” of the warlock’s adventuring group. It loudly
voices its “orders” on how it believes the team should proceed in a given situation. It gets

frustrated if its ideas are ignored but can be easily talked in to think someone else’s idea is its
own.

When the dragon’s warlock does what it deems as “a good job,” it reluctantly rewards them. It
2 might make a face while sliding them a gold coin, give them a congratulatory pat on the back, or
offer some other small praise or reward.

The dragon’s teeth are incredibly small. It has a tough time chewing food and favors soft meats
3 and plant matter. It can often be seen baring its teeth at reflective surfaces to study its tiny
fangs.

The dragon enjoys gambling and placing bets. It will make small stakes bets on a wide variety
of things such as “who will wake up first in the morning” or “will the coin land face up or face
4
down.” It sulks when it loses a bet and acts smug if it wins, assuring its opponent that “they’ll get
‘em next time.”

The dragon’s wings are larger than they should be. These floppy wings often drag on the ground
5
behind the dragon as it runs. It favors walking over flying.

The dragon frequently gets the hiccups. During these hiccupping fits, it often loses control of its
6 breath weapon and releases small waves of flame, clouds of poison, or another appropriately cute
representation for its species’ breath weapon.
