PACT BOON - PACT OF THE BLADE
You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it (see chapter 5 for weapon options). You are proficient with it while you wield it. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.
You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon
ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the l hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a l hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.

HEXBLADE'S CURSE
Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to place a baleful curse on someone. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1 minute. The curse ends early if the target
dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:
• You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
• Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
• If the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).
You can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
HEXWARRIOR
At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.
The influence of your patron also allows you to mystically channel your will through a particular weapon. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. If you later gain the Pact of the Blade feature, this benefit extends to every pact weapon you conjure with that feature, no matter the weapon's type.
ACCURSED SPECTER
Starting at 6th level, you can curse the soul of a person you slay, temporarily binding it to your service. When
you s lay a humanoid, you can cause its spirit to rise from its corpse as a specter, the statistics for which are in the Monster Manual. When the specter appears, it gains temporary hit points equal to halfyour warlock level.
Roll initiative for the specter, which has its own turns.
It obeys your verbal commands, and it gains a special bonus to its attack rolls equal to your Charisma modifier
(minimum of +O). The specter remains in your service until the end of your next long rest, at which point it vanishes to the afterlife.
Once you bind a specter with this feature, you can't use the feature again until you finish a long rest.

Background fluff:
Born in the Venemous Demesne, Dusk was raised to be a competent fighter, schemer, manipulator and pawn. A lesser heir of her house she realised early on that there was a limit to what she could achieve, a cap to any power she could amass. Seeing the gameboard was so limited for her, she decided to play elsewhere.
As soon as she was able, she left the Venemous Demesne and headed to Sharn. Using the skills she had been taught to manipulate and persuade, as well as her combat prowess, she found success as a capable bounty hunter. Initially she hunted those criminals that kept to the shadows and the city's more nefarious locales, but she now wants to expand and hunt those who move in higher circles.
She has always worked with Sur'Kil and he is one of few people she trusts.

FEATURE: EAR TO THE GROUND
You are in frequent contact with people in the segment of society that your chosen quarries move through. These people might be associated with the criminal underworld, the rough-and-tumble folk of the streets, or members of high society. This connection comes in the form of a contact in any city you visit, a person who provides information about the people and places of the local area.
Personality: I am always calm, no matter what the situation. I never raised my voice or let my emotions control me.
Personality: I always have a plan for what to do when things go wrong.
Ideal: Freedom. Chains are meant to be broken, as are those who would forge them.
Bond: She wants to become the greatest bounty hunter there has ever been, her desire for her name to become legendary is at odds with her need to remain somewhat concealed from those who might desire to bring her back to the Venemous Demesne as a game piece once more.
Flaw: I'm trying to pay off an old debt I owe to a generous benefactor. Sur'kil set me up as a bounty hunter and helped me out when I first started, so I still take on private jobs for him when asked.
