Lady Death as a Warlock Patron
Lady Death is one of my favorite comic book characters. Even if it has been some time since I read any comic book I am still going to try and stat her as a Warlock’s Patron. I will later try to stat her as a NPC and even a player character.
Lady Death has evolved and changed over time. There has been a few versions since her creation in Chaos Comics, and I have not read all of them. I will do my best to stay true to Lady Death but will mostly go off what I think is best and fits my ideal.

Retribution
Starting at level 6, when you are hit with an attack you may use your reaction to make an attack agents the creature that attacked you. You may use a spell for this attack but the spell must target only one creature.
Love Me or Fear Me
Starting at level 10, creatures within 30 ft that can see you must make a Wisdom Save vs your Spell DC. On a fail they become charmed or frightened by you. It is up to the GM to determine if the creature is charmed or frightened and how they would otherwise react to you. If you or an ally become hostile to a creature that is charmed by this ability that creature gets another save with advantage. If a creature passes they are immune to this effect for the next 24 hours.
Death’s Embrace
Starting at level 14, close calls with death bring you vigor. When you stabilize or are revived after being reduced to 0 hp you may gain the benefit of taking a short rest. You can not use this ability again until you finish a long rest.
