Kretik attacks with a spear, dagger, or light crossbow, using whichever weapon best suits the distance and terrain.

A beam of crackling eldritch energy streaks toward a creature within 120 feet. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 force damage plus Kretik's Charisma modifier, 4 total damage from the invocation bonus, for each beam that hits. Two beams are fired at character level 5.

Kretik whispers a poisonous suggestion into a creature's mind, forcing a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 3d6 psychic damage and has disadvantage on its next attack roll before the end of its next turn.

Kretik creates a spectral hand at a point within 30 feet. The hand can manipulate objects, open doors, stow or retrieve items, or deliver touch spells.

Kretik commands his imp familiar to sting, turn invisible, scout, or deliver a touch spell when appropriate.

Kretik's pact magic is fueled by an otherworldly bargain with a fiend. His spellcasting ability is Charisma, and his warlock spells use pact magic slots.

Kretik can invoke eldritch powers through three magical invocations: Agonizing Blast, Devil's Sight, and Voice of the Chain Master.

Kretik serves a fiend patron. When he reduces a hostile creature to 0 hit points, he gains temporary hit points equal to his Charisma modifier plus his warlock level, for a total of 6 temporary hit points at this level.

Kretik gains the Pact of the Chain boon. He can cast Find Familiar as a ritual and may choose an imp, pseudodragon, quasit, or sprite as his familiar. His familiar is an imp named Tikkit.

Kretik increases his Wisdom score by 2, raising it from 15 to 17. His Wisdom modifier is therefore +3.

Kretik's pact slots are all cast at 3rd level, and he has two such slots. He regains expended pact slots after a short or long rest.

When Kretik casts eldritch blast, he adds his Charisma modifier to the damage of each beam that hits. His eldritch blast fires two beams at this level.

Kretik can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet.

Kretik can communicate telepathically with his familiar and perceive through its senses while it is within 1 mile of him. He can also speak through the familiar in his own voice.

Kretik's long isolation and study gave him a unique and powerful discovery. He knows the hidden truth that an imprisoned fiend beneath his former shrine is not merely a demon, but an ancient intelligence that has been bargaining with mortal souls for centuries. The exact nature of this discovery is known only to him, and perhaps to his patron.
