Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability
for your warlock spells, so you use your Charisma whenever
a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use
your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC
for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll
with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Weapon Bond
At 3rd level, you learn a ritual that creates a magical bond
between yourself and one weapon. You perform the ritual
over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short
rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the
ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and
forge the bond.
Once you have bonded a weapon to yourself, you can’t be
disarmed of that weapon unless you are incapacitated. If it is
on the same plane of existence, you can summon that
weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport
instantly to your hand.

Ranger Conclave
Pernicious Pursuer Conclave
Art Credit: Satibalzane
Some rangers fall from the grace of their training. They
become consumed by the thrill of the hunt. The suffering of
others and the terror they spread brings joy to them and they
revel in the violence of battle.
Dread Strikes
Starting at 3rd level, You become the embodiment of death,
your visage carries with it an unspoken notion of impending
doom. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack for the
first time, that creature must make a Widom saving throw
against your spell save DC. On a failure, the target becomes
frightened by you. The creature repeats the the save at the
start of each of its turns and on a success ends the effect and
becomes immune for 24 hours.
No Escape
At 3rd level, your vicious tactics make you a dangerous foe to
flee from. If a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see
or hear moves away from you, you may use your reaction to
move up to 15 feet toward them and make one oppurtunity
attack. You may choose to make a ranged attack though it is
still an oppurtunity attack.
