At 1st level, you gain a number of eldritch heads equal to

as representations of your patron. You can choose to ignore
the heads and cause them to vanish from your vision.

to support your mortal mind and body. You gain a bonus to
Intelligence checks, Wisdom (Perception) checks, and Intel-
ligence saving throws equal to half your proficiency bonus.
If your proficiency bonus already applies to the roll, you still

ELDRITCH FRENZY
Starting at 14th level, you can use an action to expend 1 or
more eldritch heads to cause them to lash out at nearby
creatures, becoming visible for the duration as they release
a shuddering roar audible out to 300 feet. For each head you
expend, make a ranged spell attack against a different target
that you can see within 120 feet of you. On a hit, a target
takes 5d8 force damage and must make an Intelligence saving
throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a failed save,
the target is stunned until the end of your next turn as its
mind is flooded with otherworldly energy.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.
