The Future You

Your patron is your future self who provides guidance and insight while refusing to reveal certain future events. Communicating with your future self causes strange effects like speaking in the wrong tense. As a warlock of the future self, you gain abilities like warnings of attacks to avoid damage, advantage on initiative from ambush warnings, and the ability to paradoxically incapacitate creatures. Your pact boon allows you to age slowly and recall past and some future events to gain advantages. Invocations let you confuse foes into wasting reactions or gain advantages on social checks.

Otherworldly Patrons

The beings that serve as patrons for warlocks are mighty


inhabitants of other planes of existence—not gods, but
almost godlike in their power. Various patrons give their
warlocks access to different powers and invocations, and
expect significant favors in return. Some patrons collect
warlocks, doling out mystic knowledge relatively freely or
boasting of their ability to bind mortals to their will. Other
patrons bestow their power only grudgingly, and might
make a pact with only one warlock. Warlocks who serve
the same patron might view each other as allies, siblings, or
rivals.
