Hivemind

Your patron is not a single entity but a potentially infinite collective of beings across all the planes of reality. These beings pool their power and knowledge into the collective hivemind. Followers of these hiveminds are granted limited access to the collective knowledge of all its beings but still usually retain their own identity and personality.

Knowledge of the Hive

Starting at 1st level, when you roll for an ability check that uses your Intelligence or Wisdom modifiers, you can call upon the hivemind to gain a bonus to the roll equal to your Charisma modifier. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Network Insight

Starting at 6th level, you can employ the hivemind's drones, senses and memories to find potentially useful tidbits about a creature that may aid you in dealing with them. If you spend 1 minute observing a creature, you can then learn up to two tidbits about the creature. Describe the information you wish to learn, and the DM will decide if you successfully discover this information and what it is (some examples can be seen in the list below). The DM also decides how the information can affect your rolls and gameplay, granting advantage on social checks when using the information would be an appropriate example.

If the creature is disguised, whether by magical or non-magical means, and you are unaware, the DM may decide you learn the characteristics of the persona the creature is presenting rather than their own. Alternatively, they may decide that the hivemind can see through the disguise even if you can't.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it on the same creature again until you finish a long rest.

Example Tidbits

• One ability score of your choice.

• Their creature type and race, if any.

• Their alignment, if any.

• A piece of information that can be used to falsify a common bond, such as the name of their hometown, a school they attended or a distant family member.

• A secret that could potentially be used to blackmail them, such as an extramarital affair, illicit vice or embarrassing hobby.

• An address which they visit frequently, such as their home, workplace or favourite tavern.

• Their opinion about a particular person, faction or thing.

Hive Ritual

Starting at 10th level, when you finish a short or long rest, you can choose a spell of 5th level or lower from the Divination school of magic that has the ritual tag. This spell can be from any spell list, but counts as a warlock spell for you. Until the end of your next short or long rest, you can cast this spell as a ritual.

Pact of tome-ancient secrets invocation already kinda does this?

Psychometry (WIP)

Starting at 14th level, you can spend ten minutes to touch an object or willing creature and witness a scene from the past that it was present for. The scene must have lasted less than ten minutes and have taken place within 30ft of the target during the time of the scene. Describe the time, place or part of the scene you wish to witness, such as "Yesterday at noon" or "When this window was broken". You then witness the scene over the ten minutes. While doing so, you are blinded and deafened. The scene ends early if you take damage, or are incapacitated.

If the target is, a creature, you may witness the event using their senses at the time (you can also do this for a corpse that was alive at the time of the scene). If the target is an object, what you witness is limited, you could hear parts of a conversation, see vague images or sense strong emotions. If a creature, object or area in the scene is hidden from divination magic (or was during the time of the scene), you cannot perceive it or anything inside it but may see other elements of the scene. Once you use this feature, you can not do so again until you finish a long rest.
