Warlock Patron: The Baron Mouth "Our business is concluded, you disgraceful little man," Boss Harley stated, in the tone of voice I recognised as one where he wished this had never started. "No, it's concluded when I say it's conlcuded, not before," the halfling said. He grinned again, and I had to look away. His mouth looked so fucked up, it was going to put me off my food. The Boss scowled, sighed, and signalled to Brutus, the goliath enforcer. "Take this idiot outside, will you?" Brutus lumbered over and reached to put a hand on the halfling's shoulder. The halfling suddenly grew fangs, bit him and... and then... I dunno how, but his fuckin' jaw just... Opened and he swallowed Brutus whole, axe and all! The halfling belched and patted his stomach. "Generous of you to provide a snack. Now, where were we?" was the last thing I heard before I had to run out and be sick. -Berk Greenstick, describing what he recalls of his encounter with The Epicurean.

The Baron Mouth is all about hunger. Unceasing, relentless hunger. Always consuming food in his dining hall, his servants and courtiers bring an ever-broadening variety of food and drink from all over the planes to keep the Baron and his too-many mouths sated, lest he turn his hunger onto his own attendants. Those that sit at his table will learn much about food and hunger, as the Baron speaks on these subjects at length to anyone who will listen, in between - and, frequently, during - mouthfuls of food and drink. Those who he invites to eat at his table share a hunger for something - power is common, but some seek infamy, or pleasure, or fortune, or even simple survival. The Baron doesn't mind - he welcomes any who come to sit with him and draw from his knowledge. But eating at the Baron's table comes with a price. The food and drink you find there is unmatched anywhere else, and you will find yourself craving new tastes, new flavours, new... appetites. For good or ill, you have sat and dined with The Baron Mouth, seen the power he commands, and pledged yourself to his service in exchange for it. The Baron doesn't ask for much - more food and drink to sample - but you will be expected to provide for him and cater to his tastes. Expanded Spell List The Baron Mouth 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. The Baron Mouth Expanded Spells Spell Level Spells 1st Grease, Ray of Sickness 2nd Magic Mouth, Melf's Acid Arrow 3rd Create Food and Water, Stinking Cloud 4th Locate Creature, Vitriolic Sphere 5th Cloudkill, Dominate Person Gourmand At 1st level the Baron instructs you in the most basic tenets of consumption. You learn the Primal Savagery cantrip, but can only make bite attacks with it. When you cast Primal Savagery you can choose to deal either acid damage or poison damage. The cantrip counts as a warlock cantrip for you but doesn't count against your list of cantrips known. If you gain the Agonizing Blast Invocation, it also applies to Primal Savagery. You also gain proficiency with cook's utensils, and you have advantage on any ability checks you make involving cooking meat of any sort. Finally, if you know the Eldritch Blast cantrip, you can choose to deal acid, force, or poison damage when you cast it. Feast At 1st level, you also start to feel the hunger the Baron feels, and can draw power from those you consume. For every ten minutes you spend consuming the corpse of a creature that isn't a construct or undead, you gain a Feast Die, a d8. You can gain a number of Feast Dice equal to the creature's total hit dice; you cannot have more Feast Dice than your total warlock level. When you're carrying Feast Dice, you can expend one as a reaction to heal yourself, with excess healing carrying over as temporary hit points. If you gain the Pact of the Chain, you can also use Feast Dice to heal your familiar. You cannot consume another corpse to gain Feast Dice again until you complete a short or long rest. Some notes on eating corpses You don't take any physical damage or suffer any ill-effects from eating a corpse - your Patron sees fit to equip you with the necessary tools to do the job. It's going to be messy. People tend to find corpse-eating uncomfortable, so you might want to go somewhere private. You can cook it first - you still gain the benefits of Feast if you do - but you'll need to factor in the cooking time for how long it takes to gain a Feast Dice. The ten minutes mentioned in the ability assumes you're eating it raw. Yes, you can save bits for later. This doesn't reduce the time it takes to gain a Feast Die. You're not going to be very hungry afterwards. You may experience... cravings. How you deal with them is up to you.

Deadly Chef At 6th level you learn some of the ways that the Baron uses food against his enemies. You gain proficiency with the poisoner's kit. When you make a dose of poison, it only costs half as much in materials and takes half as long to brew. In addition, you can apply two of the following properties to each dose of poison you create: Anyone consuming food or drink laced with this poison had disadvantage on the save against it

Add your Charisma modifier to the damage caused by the poison

The poison also deals acid damage equal to the amount of poison damage it inflicts

The poison deals acid damage instead of poison damage

Ignore poison resistance

The poison is immune to magic that would detect or negate it Iron Stomach, Foul Taste At 10th level the Baron has graced you with supernatural resistance. You are immune to poison damage, cannot be poisoned, and are resistant to acid damage. Your attacks and spells ignore resistance to acid and poison damage. If a creature manages to swallow you whole, they have vulnerability to damage you cause while in their stomach and automatically fail the saving throw to resist vomiting you back up. Consume At 14th level, you can physically summon one of the Baron's own mouths to allow him to taste an enemy. When you make a bite attack with Primal Savagery against a Large or smaller creature, you can force your target to make a Dexterity saving throw. If they fail, your mouth momentarily distends and lets you swallow your target whole; the target vanishes from the battlefield and appears inside an extradimensional stomach. While the target is swallowed, it is blinded and restrained and it takes 7d10 acid damage at the start of each of its turns. In order to escape the stomach, it must deal at least 50 points of damage to the interior of the stomach on its turn; if it succeeds, the target is disgorged into their original position. If the target dies and you have no Feast Dice, you gain half their total hit dice in Feast Dice. You can do this once, and regain the ability to do so again after you finish a long rest. Bad Table Manners It is possible to Polymorph a creature down to a size where Consume could work on them, but once the target reverts back to their normal size they are immediately disgorged. Likewise, a creature that's been shrunk by Enlarge/Reduce and then Consumed is immediately disgorged, as the spell ceases to have an effect on the target creature once it enters the extradimensional space. In any case, The Baron Mouth does not take kindly to careless warlocks that bite off more than they can chew.

Invocations of The Baron Mouth Bilious Coating Pre-requisite: Pact of the Blade

If you're carrying one or more Feast Dice, you can expend one as an action to vomit a thick, acidic bile onto a melee weapon you're holding. The next successful strike with a weapon coated with this bile deals an additional 1d8 acid damage. Emergency Snack You can expend one Feast Die to cast Healing Word at 1st level without expending a spell slot. Familiar Consumption Pre-requisite: Pact of the Chain, 15th level

Your familiar learns the Primal Savagery cantrip (casting it at your level) and can use Consume. This doe not allow you to use Consume twice between long rests. Fast Food Pre-requisite: 7th level

Whenever you successfully attack a creature with the Primal Savagery cantrip, the creature must make a Constitution save against your spell save DC; if they fail, you gain one Feast Die as if you'd used Feast on them. You may use this ability once and can use it again after you finish a long rest. Feast of the Once-Born Pre-requisite: 11th level

You may use Feast on undead creatures, regardless of how many hit points they have. Grand Feast Pre-requisite: 17th level

You may cast Heroes' Feast once without expending your Mystic Arcanum slot. You must still provide material components, and you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. Nausea Pre-requisite: 7th level

If you successfully inflict acid or poison damage on a creature that isn't a construct or undead with an attack or spell, the targeted creature must make a Constitution save against your spell save DC or be poisoned until the end of their next turn. You cannot use this ability again until you finish a short or long rest. Ostomy Pre-requisite: 11th level, can cast Magic Mouth

When you cast Magic Mouth, you can program the mouth so that when the triggering condition occurs the triggering creature is immediately subject to your Primal Savagery cantrip. The attack happens once and then ends the Magic Mouth spell. You don't have the ability to cast Primal Savagery while using it in a Magic Mouth. You cannot use your Feast ability through this casting of Magic Mouth. You can use your Consume ability through it, but if the targeted creature dies in the extradimensional stomach you don't gain any Feast Dice.
