In the comments below, feel free to tell me whether I’ve succeeded. Some of what I’m doing is also an attempt to stake out a fourth gameplay style for warlocks.

The new spells are a patch on the extremely small number of low-level necromancy spells that I could assign to the Patron.

Obviously, that meant I had to write a new Patron option for the Warlock class, and in so doing I also wrote a new Pact and three new necromantic spells. The PCs have known they would eventually run into such warlocks, but this is the first time it has happened. In my campaign, I recently introduced warlocks serving the Nightwalker, my setting’s version of the Grim Reaper. Merging with a sand dune that gets hit with a large wave should be grounds for making that Fortitude DC 18 save or die.4 Jul, 2015 in 5e DnD / Aurikesh / design ideas / free content tagged spells by Brandes Stoddard Doing so should be allowed, but be very very dangerous.

You would meld with it, but, if anyone came along and kicked some of the gravel out of the square you were occuping, you would take damage and be expelled. You are well within your rights to deny it, depending on how you view it. Oh, and to clarify, since it might come up, what happens when you meld with a pile of gravel? It does say a single block of stone, but how often has it been allowed for you to merge with a wall of brick? How about a mound of sand? Weird, I know, but from a game mechanic point of view, it requires you to be looking at the 5' facing of the square you entered, regardless of how easy it is to see any other part of the rock you melded with. So if I entered into the statue's butt, you could not see me using true seeing if you were looking at the face of the statue. Ironically, if there was a stone statue of me that looked just like me and was the exact same dimensions of me, and I melded into it, you could only see me using true seeing on the 'side' that I entered. For example, If I melded into a square pillar 5'x5', someone using true seeing would NOT see me on three of the sides of the pillar, but upon viewing the fourth side, would see me. However, you are correct in that true seeing does not see through things. So, if someone were to view the surface that you melded with, they would see you. Also, Meld with stone is a Transmutation spell cast on you, not the stone itself.
