Warlock: The Shapechanger | New Subclass!
Your patron is a mighty shapechanger, whose commitment to a single form is often fleeting. Your meetings with your patron may occur even in plain sight, as those around you may fail to see your patron for who they truly are. Succubi, lycanthropes, vampires, and even ancient mimics may grant such power to you in exchange for your service, and can offer you an untold number of ways to circumvent or overcome the problems before you—all by simply changing the limitations of your normal form. By releasing your body from itself, you stand to achieve great things together.
Alter your form to attack with altered limbs, regenerate, or alter your appearance!
Cast certain spells even if you don't know them, or even ignore certain requirements to concentrate!
Curse the creatures you strike with your altered form, punishing them for attacking you or resisting your magic!
Since not all subclasses are tied to a specific setting in Saddlebag Year 6, consider the following pre-existing settings to align this with.
Amphibios
The Bloodmire
The Festerwood
The Graveyard
The Grephearon
Grymclover
The Infinite Animarum
The Safire Wood
The Upheaval

So many cool patron ideas!! Two that come to mind are a Changeling who's ascended to Archfey status, and a Plasmoid 🤣
Ooo exciting!
In regards to the regeneration feature, do you still get to add any rolled hp?
I was hoping for a dragon patron
Maybe next warlock!
