Catlock - Worldly Patron: The Provider - A.K.A. "The Human"

Oct 5, 2026

A warlock subclass option, “Worldly Patron: The Provider,” reimagines pacts as a benevolent but bewildered human-like entity that supplies food, warmth, and devotion rather than raw magical power. It introduces features at 1st, 6th, 10th, and 14th levels, including expanded spells, ration-based temporary hit points, a sanctuary-linked nap mechanic with a limited Dash recharge, rapid mobility effects, and a charm-demand ability that compels attention. It also adds patron-specific invocations and optional player quirks, supported by design and art credits.

1 Catlock Worldly Patron: The Provider A.K.A. "The Human" Most warlocks enter into pacts with eldritch horrors, powerful fiends, or enigmatic fey. You, however, have bound yourself to a far more peculiar entity: a human. This "Provider" is a benevolent, albeit bewildered, being that supplies you with sustenance, warmth, and unquestioning devotion. Unlike other patrons, the human is usually useless in terms of providing magical power, but instead is needed for providing food, shelter, and a mobile backup bedroll. Not all patrons ofthis type are humans specifically, but most are humanoid, as other creature types are not so easily duped into being ensnared into such a lopsided contract. Devils can only envy the deals these diminutive feline warlocks extract from the hapless mortals, with the feline contractor typically offering only items of dubious value such as the tribute of the occasional dead rodent delivered to its human's bedroll or the opportunity to bask in the feline's glory. The Provider Features Warlock Level 1st 6th 10th 14th Feature The Provider Expanded Spells, Tasty Kibbles Sacred Naptime Supernatural Zoomies I Require Your Attention Human The Provider Expanded Spells The Provider lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a Warlock spell. The following spells are added to the Warlock spell list for you. Tasty Kibbles At 1st level, as an action you can tap impatiently on an empty bowl, causing your Provider to fill it with tasty kibbles. This food functions as rations, and when consumed, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your Warlock level. You can share this meal with others, though doing so divides the temporary hit points by the portion consumed, and non-felines may find the taste and texture questionable. Each time you perform this action again after the first, you must make a Charisma (Deception) check to convince your Provider you haven't yet been fed. The DC is 10, and increases by 5 each time you successfully convince the Provider to feed you again. This resets when you complete a long rest. Sacred Naptime Starting at 6th level, your Provider makes your naptime sacred. When you fall asleep, you gain the effect of sanctuary, which persists until the first time you are the target of an attack or spell (ignoring the normal duration or actions that would end it) . Fully Energized. Additionally, when you complete a short rest, long rest, or nap for more than 1 minute, you become freshly energized, gaining the ability to take the Dash action as a bonus action once (this can be recharged during your next nap or rest, but you cannot gain more than one use of the feature) . Spell Level 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Spells sleep, jump calm emotions, knock create food and water, tiny hut greater invisibility, resilient sphere arcane hand, mislead Supernatural Zoomies At 10th level, when you take the Dash action, until the end of your turn you do not provoke attacks of opportunity, can run up vertical surfaces, and can run across liquid surfaces. After taking the Dash action, you have advantage on all Dexterity saving throws and all attacks against you have disadvantage until the start of your next turn. I Require Your Attention, Human Starting at 14th level, as an action, you can demand a creature stop doing what it is doing and pay attention to you. The target must pass a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, or become charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed by you it is not hostile to you or your allies and spends its every action trying topet or otherwise placate you. If you do not target a creature that was previously hostile, you can target a number of creatures up to your Charisma modifier. A creature can repeat its saving throw against this ability whenever it or one of its allies suffers a hostile effect (such as being attacked), ending the effect on success. Once you use this ab
