The Mother of Puppets (5e Subclass)
The Mother of Puppets
Warlock Subclass
You have made a pact with an extra-planar entity formed of and fueled by the fears of mortals; your patron is associated with the fear of being manipulated, exploited, and of your will not being your own (also, sometimes, spiders). This entity is usually unable or unwilling to influence the material plane beyond granting supernatural abilities to those it believes will provide even more fear that it may feed on. If it has chosen you, it either believes you will make the fear of being controlled widespread, or that you yourself will develop into a source of this fear.

Pact Boons
Each Pact Boon option produces a special creature or an object that reflects your patron's nature.
Pact of the Chain. The familiar granted by your patron seems to know what you are thinking and act almost before you command it. It almost certainly has the default form of a spider.
Pact of the Blade. Your pact weapon could be covered in spiderwebs, or could be made of twitching black chitin.
Pact of the Tome. Your Book of Shadows might be bound with silk, or written using vague and indirect language whose gaps you find surprisingly easy to fill.
