far-touched
Beyond the first dawn, before time flowed and thought had shape, some things yet stirred. Within the vast dark of The Void, these ancient beings linger within its infinite shadows, and those that seek for knowledge or find their eyes glazing over while staring into its oblivion, might find their gaze returned by a being of alien nature. For the Far-Touched, the pact they make is often not one of willing choice, but rather a festering wound that was struck in a moment of weakness or apparent height of success.
Their service often starts with a whisper, a pattern glimpsed in dreams, or a truth too immense for mortal minds to hold. The powers granted by these alien beings is born from the language of entropy and the hum of the shadow beyond the stars, and none who gaze beyond its veil come back the same.

| 4th | Confusion, Shadowbind |
| 5th | Dominate Person, Telekinesis |
Awakened Mind
Your alien knowledge gives you the ability to touch the minds of other creatures. You gain the ability to use True Telepathy with a range of 30 feet.
Entropic Ward
You learn to magically ward yourself against attack and to turn an enemy's failed strike into good luck for yourself. When a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that roll. If the attack misses you, your next attack roll against the creature has advantage if you make it before the end of your next turn.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Thought Shield
Your mind is shielded from unwanted intrusion, granting you the following benefits:
- Obscured Mind. Your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means unless you allow it.
- Psychic Feedback. You have resistance to psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of damage that you do (this damage can't trigger a similar ability such as this one).
Create Thrall
You gain the ability to infect a humanoid's mind with the alien magic of your patron. You can use your action to touch an Incapacitated Humanoid. That creature is then by you until a spell is cast on it, the condition is removed from it, or you use this feature again.
