A note about 3rd party content

When you want to create a character that is outside the normal character
generation rules, it’s always important to remember that you’re engaging in
a collaborative story told by you, the DM, and the rest of the party, and we
encourage adaptability and flexibility. What is said here may apply to any
homebrew or third-party class/variant that you may want to play.
• For Everyone: It is your game, your world, your character, your story.
Everyone contributes to this story; don’t hesitate to make changes,
tweaks, and adjustments as you see fit. My words (as the creator)
are not law, just ideas, interpretations and inspiration for you to
use.
• As the player: Provide the GM with the class/variant you
want to play, pitch the character concept and be flexible in
building and exploring the character options with your GM.
• As the GM: Try to work with your player’s pitch and how can it
work with the setting and story you think you’ll be telling?

Introduction
Welcome seekers and travelers,
It appears that you have tumbled into the greatest responsibility of your life: the protection and rearing of a
powerful and majestic creature. You care for and protect the creature, and in-return for your kindness, you
will be granted some of its growing power.
In these pages, I will attempt to glean answers to any questions you may have, but...my time is short and
your egg will soon hatch. Now, listen closely...

In this supplement, we explore a new type of Caretakers love their companions and are

While seeking shelter from a storm, you and the patron ended up in the same safe spot. You agreed to
share the space while you waited out the storm. During the night, you two struck up a conversation
2 and learned of one another’s needs. You agreed to become caretaker and patron, and the pair of you

The patron’s parents became aggressive and had to be put down. You chose to adopt the creature

Your Patron, the gumptious familiar, has recently developed extreme overconfidence. It takes daring leaps, challenges
1 larger foes, and performs other foolhardy but “brave” deeds for the next two weeks.
Your Patron, the smart little scamp, has learned its first word or has learned to mimic a word. Unfortunately, its word of
2 choice is particularly creepy or profane. Your Patron often uses it at the worst possible times.
Your Patron, in all its infinite wisdom, has gotten its head (or another appendage) stuck in something. It might be the

Your Patron, the energetic little tyke, has found a new chew toy that it cannot bear to part with. Unfortunately, it is an

You are awoken late at night to a loud clattering and clamoring. Your Patron, bless its soul, has knocked over literally
5 everything in your room or campsite while running around at three in the morning.
Your Patron, the finicky friend, has become a picky eater. For the next week, it only wants to eat one specific type of food
6 prepared in one specific way. It balks at anything else you attempt to feed it, even if it needs it to grow up strong.
Your Patron, ever alert, stares off in the distance every night for the remainder of the current adventure. Even though you
7 can clearly see that it is looking at nothing you cannot shake the feeling that something
is there.
Your Patron, thinking itself playful, has taken something incredibly valuable of yours and hidden it. Depending on its
8 species, the hiding place varies. Phoenix Patrons might favor under campfires or in trees, while couatl Patrons might hide
things in bushes or burrows.
Your Patron, the spirited devil, has its own recurring nemesis. Unfortunately, it is its own reflection. It attempts to attack
9 mirrored versions of itself in rivers, mirrors, and other reflective surfaces.
You awake at night unable to breathe. Your Patron, the cuddly friend, has decided to rest itself over your mouth and
10 nose. It is sound asleep and you are running out of air.
You wake in the morning to find that your Patron, the sly scoundrel, is nowhere to be found. After searching everywhere,
11 you find it snug and asleep in your closed backpack.
Your Patron runs directly into the next door you approach at full speed. Depending on its size and strength, there is a
12 good chance that it destroys the door.
Your Patron, the playful beast, has developed a new game. The game consists of taking things you love and pushing them
13 off high places. The game can occur anywhere. Such venues include tree stumps, the table at a tavern, or even bottomless
chasms! Whatever is nearby will do!
Your Patron, loyal to the end, has decided that your personal space is irrelevant. Any time you need a moment of privacy,
14 such as when you relieve yourself or during a confession of love, your Patron is sure to follow and make its presence
know. Loudly. Repeatedly.
Your Patron, your friend-til-the-end, begins to shout at something much larger and much more dangerous than it. The

Your Patron, your lifelong bosom buddy, grows impatient. The next time it wants your attention and you don’t readily

You Patron, who’s sweet and attached to you, does not want you to leave it alone or head into danger. Any time you

The phoenix is incredibly anxious at all times. It panics during rainstorms and sticks

to their celestial nature, quite literally embody
goodness. Breeding rarely, young couatls, known
as couatl neonates, are often in great danger
as the auspices of their birth usually mean at

cases where both parents perish before the egg
hatches, these highly intelligent creatures will
seek out an individual to broker a deal with.

The couatl’s scales are a tarnished or dull color. It’s self-conscious about that. Each

scales.
The couatl sneaks away at night to find gifts for its warlock or their allies. In the wild,
it finds neat objects. While within the confines of civilization, it takes a few gold coins,
4 pinches objects it wants, and leaves the coin. It usually overpays for what it takes in

The edges of the dragon turtle’s shell are particularly sharp. It attempts to dull these

The dragon turtle is uncharacteristically afraid of deep, dark water. It takes a great
2 deal of reassurance to coax it into swimming in water it cannot see the bottom of.
The dragon turtle enjoys playing pranks in cahoots with its caretaker. Its favorite
prank is to sneak behind an upright creature while the warlock gives them a push
3 backward. The dragon turtle does not realize that pranks such as that might actually
hurt its friends.
The dragon turtle gently hums at night. As it ages, the song becomes deeper and
4 bassier, not unlike a melodic whale song.
The dragon turtle salivates at the smell of cooking meat. It greatly prefers either the

in alien ways that mortals have trouble understanding,
but they are not born good or evil. A red dragon’s heart
is full of fiery passion, a silver dragon’s need to protect
can become toxic, and a white dragon’s simplicity can
enjoy the small moments of life.
Dragon whelps can survive on their own, but these
clever creatures know that they are best served by
followers. Whether the dragon was in danger and
accepted a warlock of convenience, or it offered its
services to a mortal seeking its aid, dragon whelp
patrons are young, temperamental, and just as in need
of the warlock as the warlock is in need of them.

Dragon Wrymling Patron Quirks

The following quirks are unique to dragon wyrmling
patrons:

The dragon believes that it is the “party leader” of the warlock’s adventuring group.
It loudly voices its “orders” on how it believes the team should proceed in a given
1 situation. It gets frustrated if its ideas are ignored but can be easily talked in to think
someone else’s idea is its own.
When the dragon’s warlock does what it deems as “a good job,” it reluctantly rewards
2 them. It might make a face while sliding them a gold coin, give them a congratulatory
pat on the back, or offer some other small praise or reward.
The dragon’s teeth are incredibly small. It has a tough time chewing food and favors
3 soft meats and plant matter. It can often be seen baring its teeth at reflective surfaces to
study its tiny fangs.
The dragon enjoys gambling and placing bets. It will make small stakes bets on a
wide variety of things such as “who will wake up first in the morning” or “will the
4 coin land face up or face down.” It sulks when it loses a bet and acts smug if it wins,
assuring its opponent that “they’ll get ‘em next time.”
The dragon’s wings are larger than they should be. These floppy wings often drag on
5 the ground behind the dragon as it runs. It favors walking over flying.
The dragon frequently gets the hiccups. During these hiccupping fits, it often loses
6 control of its breath weapon and releases small waves of flame, clouds of poison, or
another appropriately cute representation for its species’ breath weapon.
