[5E D&D] Surrealistik's Homebrew
Eldritch Master, Revised:
At 20th level, you can draw on your inner reserve of mystical power while entreating your patron to regain expended spell slots. While all of your Pact Magic spell slots are expended and you're not incapacitated, you may take 4d8 necrotic damage that cannot be reduced or prevented and ignores temporary hit points. If you do, you regain a Pact Magic spell slot. Your hit point maximum is reduced by the damage taken in this way until you take a long or short rest. This ignores any effect that would prevent your hit point maximum from being reduced.
The Famished Dark or can be most accurately though of as the collective will of the Negative Energy Plane roused to sentience. It is a predatory intelligence characterized by little more than a bottomless, insatiable hunger for life and soul energies, as though it seeks to fill the infinite void that defines it. Occasionally it will see fit to bestow the art of life drain and great power upon promising disciples in exchange for a share of the vitality they harvest from other worlds. Though its motives and goals are simple, the plans it weaves to achieve them are often vast, complex and far reaching; those who would trust in the covetous Dark or seek its favour would do well to exercise the utmost caution.
Inspired by the Darkwraiths of the Dark Souls universe.
