Coven of the Heart

Of all witches, those of the Coven of the Heart take the most interest in the lives and troubles of ordinary people, and they excel as matchmakers, advice-givers, and gossips. Whether they dwell in the charmingly odd house at the edge of town or in the attic apartments above a busy store, heart witches tend to live among the people that their magic serves and become fixtures of community life, attending town halls and festivals and helping out around town until others hardly think there’s anything remarkable about a witch living among them.

Curse upon the Heartless

As a Bonus Action, you can curse a creature within 60 feet of you for 1 hour. For the duration, whenever the creature deals damage, you can roll a d6 and reduce the damage it deals to one target by that amount. You reduce the damage by 2d6 if the target is an Undead or a Fiend.

Once you reduce damage in this way, you can’t do so again until the start of your next turn.
When you reach level 10, you reduce the damage by 2d6, or 3d6 if the target is an Undead or a Fiend. You can use this feature twice. You regain one expended use when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Heart’s Gift

When you cast Spare the Dying or a spell that restores Hit Points to a creature, you can expend a number of Hit Point Dice up to your Proficiency Bonus to roll an equal number of d6s and add the total to the number of Hit Points one target of your spell regains.

Level 6

Overflowing Heart

You channel your true feelings into your magic. When you finish a Long Rest, you can select a number of willing creatures up to your Wisdom modifier. When you cast a spell that targets one or more of these creatures, you can replace one Verbal or Somatic component, or one Material component worth up to 500 GP. You replace that component with the target’s laughter or tears, or a shared kiss or embrace.

Level 10

Sympathetic Bond

The bonds of the heart care nothing for distance. When a creature gives you an object that symbolizes their friendship or love, such as a lock of hair or a rose in bloom, you can target them with spells you cast as if you can see and touch them while you hold the object, regardless of the spell’s normal range. If the creature’s friendship or love toward you ends, the object loses this feature and you are aware of it.

Level 14

Witch’s Grace

The power of your sympathy and empathy can overwhelm the hardest of hearts, making you a powerful force for reconciliation. When a creature that you and your allies haven’t harmed or insulted deals damage to you or an ally of yours that you can see or hear, or forces you or an ally you can see or hear to make a saving throw, you can use an action on your turn to implore the creature to cease hostility.

At the start of your next turn, if the creature has not been attacked, damaged, or verbally threatened by you and your allies since you used this feature, it feels the presence of a curse eager to inflict consequences if it harms you or your allies. For the next 24 hours, or until you or your allies attack, threaten, or force the creature to make a saving throw, the act of harming you or your allies causes the curse to immediately take effect. While cursed in this way, the creature has Disadvantage on D20 Tests for 24 hours, including on the action that triggered the curse.

Creatures that can’t understand a language can’t be affected by this feature. If you or your allies have harmed or insulted a creature but made sufficient amends (as determined by the GM), you can use this feature as if you have not done harm or given insult.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of it by expending a level 7+ spell slot (no action required).
