Feline Affinity

You gain the ability to speak with the world's true nobility. You can cast @spell[Speak with Animals|XPHB] without expending a spell slot. When you cast the spell this way, the only Beasts you can verbally communicate with are cats, though most cats are reluctant to converse with a creature as simple as you.

Feline Form

Your patron takes pity on you and gives you the ability to adopt a superior, more pleasing form. As a @variantrule[Bonus Action|XPHB], you shape-shift into a Cat, a Tiny Beast. You stay in that form for a number of hours equal to half your Warlock level (rounded down) or until you use this feature again, have the &Reference[condition=Incapacitated] condition, or die. You can also leave the form early as a @variantrule[Bonus Action|XPHB]. While in this form, you retain your personality, memories, and ability to speak, and the following rules apply:

Game Statistics. Your game statistics are replaced by the Beast's stat block, but you retain your creature type; @variantrule[Hit Points|XPHB]; @variantrule[Hit Point Dice|XPHB]; Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores; class features; languages; and feats. You also retain your skill and saving throw proficiencies and use your @variantrule[Proficiency|XPHB|Proficiency Bonus] for them, in addition to gaining the proficiencies of the creature. If a skill or saving throw modifier in the Beast's stat block is higher than yours, use the one in the stat block.

Spellcasting. While in your cat form, you can only cast spells that are on your Feline Spells feature. You can cast these spells without needing Material components. In addition, if you have the &Reference[condition=Invisible] condition from the @action[Hide|XPHB] action and cast a spell that doesn't target a @variantrule[Hostile [Attitude]|XPHB|Hostile] creature, you retain the &Reference[condition=Invisible] condition. Shapeshifting doesn't break your @status[Concentration|XPHB] or otherwise interfere with a spell you've already cast.

Equipment. You choose whether your equipment falls in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it's practical for your Tiny Beast form to wear a piece of equipment. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with the form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect while you're in that form.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a @variantrule[Long Rest|XPHB].
