Jack-o-lantern and Vampire Bat | Two Halloween Pact Familiars


Happy Halloween! If I'm not mistaken, this is my first intentionally holiday-themed homebrew! I have once done an Oath of Betrothal rerelease on Valentine's Day, but that wasn't the original inspiration for the sacred oath. For these two, however, Halloween has all the credit for the idea!

The jack-o-lantern and vampire bat are new options for warlocks to choose as their Pact of the Chain familiars. There are already some spooky options in the official content, like the quasit and imp, so I decided to lean less spooky and more "monstrous fun."

Oath of the Directive | Paladin Sacred Oath


After the undead and cowboy paladins, you probably thought there could be nothing weirder. Well, the Oath of the Directive is here to prove you wrong!

Based on the fiction of Isaac Asimov and his Laws of Robotics, this oath allows one to play a robot master and machine hero. Some might choose to play a character species that aligns with the tropes, such as a Warforged. I think there's also room to play a typically-fleshy species such as human or elf as a highly advanced android (possibly even with biomechanical components). Whatever you choose to do, have fun with it!
