Ability score increase
Okay I don't think I need to explain this one. It occurs (for this
class) at levels 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 19.
Extra attack
I don't think I really need to explain this one either.
Domain of the Monarch
At level 9, your mastery over your necromancy has improved.
Shadows that you control within 30 feet of you gain 10
temporary hitpoints, a +1 bonus to attack rolls, and a +1
bonus to armor class.
At 20th level, the radius of your domain extends 60 feet, and
your shadows gain an additional +1 bonus to attack rolls and
another 15 temporary hitpoints.
Steel will
At level 13, your experience with death and combat has taught
you to fear nothing, and to love nothing. You become immune
to the afraid and charmed status effects.
Indomitable
At level 15, your ability to fight has reached new heights.
When you make an attack roll with disadvantage, you can
choose to not have disadvantage. You can use this ability twice
per long rest.
Shadow exchange
At 18th level, you have learned how to exchange your location
with the location of one of your shadows. As an action, you
can teleport to the location of one of your shadows, and the
shadow teleports to your former location. You can use this
feature once per long rest.
Shadow Template
The shadow template simply changes the creature type of the
creature to undead, and gives vulnerability to radiant damage
and resistance to necrotic damage. If the creature already had
resistance to necrotic damage, it now has immunity. If the
creature already had immunity to necrotic damage, it now
regains hitpoints equal to 1/2 the necrotic damage if it would
take necrotic damage. If creature already had vulnerability to
radiant damage, it now gains the sunlight sensitivity feature.
Skills
fans of solo leveling please note not all of these abilities were
taken from sung, I mixed it up a little bit since I didn't make
subclasses for this class. Also, they aren't alphabetically
sorted, sorry.
Critical Strike
Once per turn, creatures that are hit by you while you're
wielding at least 1 dagger take an extra 1 damage of the
appropriate type. For each level this ability gains, the damage
increases by 1.
Bloodlust
This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy. Not approved/endorsed by Wizards. Portions of the materials used
are property of Wizards of the Coast. ©Wizards of the Coast LLC.
As an action, you can channel the fierce aura of your extreme
malevolence into the mind of creature you can see. The
creature must succeed on a saving throw (DC is 8 + your
charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus) or have the afraid
status effect and be unable to take bonus actions or reactions.
When this skill is leveled up, it increases the save DC by 1
each time this skill levels up.
Stealth
As an action, you can completely disguise your self, rendering
yourself undetectable to any means short of 5th level or
greater divination magic or Truesight until you cast a spell or
make an attack. The maximum duration of this ability is one
minute, or until you cast a spell or make an attack. Each time
this skill levels up, increase the duration by one minute.
Dominator's touch
You learn the mage hand cantrip. Your mage hand is invisible.
Each time this skill levels up, increase the amount of weight
that your mage hand can carry by 5 lbs.
Bestial transformation
As an action, you can become bestial for up to one minute.
While bestial, you gain 5 temporary hitpoints and a +1 bonus
to damage. When this skill levels up, increase the temporary
hitpoints by 5 and the damage bonus by 1.
Sensitive nose
You gain the ability to sense power as a distinct odor in your
nose. Creatures within 60 feet of you with a challenge rating
equal to or higher than your level register as having a
powerfully foul odor. Adventurers with levels equal to or
greater than your also register this way. When this skill levels
up, double the radius each time it levels up.
Perceptive
You become freakishly perceptive. You gain proficiency in the
perception skill, and your proficiency bonus for this skill is
doubled. When this skill levels up, you gain an additional +1
bonus to your perception bonus and passive perception score
each time this skill levels up.
Muscularity
You've trained your physical body to perfection. You gain
proficiency in athletics, and have advantage on athletics
checks made to interact with other creatures. In addition, your
unarmed strikes deal 1d6 damage. When this skill levels up,
add 1 to your bonus for unarmed strikes and athletics checks.
Status Recovery
Once per long rest, if you are suffering from the effects of a
curse, disease, poison, or status effect, you can choose to end
that effect. Each time this skill levels up you can use this
feature once more per long rest.
Daily quest
Each day You are presented with anew challenge, given by the
DM, and if you fail to complete it you are sent to a desert area
where you have to survive attacks from many purple worms.
However, if you complete the quest, you gain an item or an
amount of gold as would be fitting for completing the quest, at
the DM's discretion. The maximum quality of loot is a normal
weapon or 50 gold. No being, including fellow adventurers,
can assist you as you undertake a quest. Quests taken are
taken by the player receiving a key which can be used at a
nearby location, which they then travel to in order to use the
key. The key can then be used at the location to open a gate to
an instant dungeon which contains the quest. Time spent
inside instant dungeons is 1/10 the time outside, so if you
spent 10 days inside an instant dungeon only 1 day would
have passed. You cannot gain exp from monsters killed in
instant dungeons. When this skill levels up, the maximum
becomes 1 common magic item, and for each successive level
the maximum loot goes up another rarity category. Keep in
mind, however, that this does effect the difficulty of the quest.
Sprint
As an action, you can double your movement speed for up to
one minute. Each time this skill levels up, the duration is
extended by another minute.
Critical Chain
If you successfully land two attacks on an opponent in one
turn, you can make an additional attack. Each time this skill
levels up you can make one additional attack, however once
you miss with an attack you cannot continue with the rest of
the attacks.
Crafter
Select one artisan's tool of your choice. Using this skill, you
can generate a screen with a crafting table, into which you can
place the appropriate materials by shoving them into the slots
in the screen, and to pull things out, vice versa. When this skill
levels up, you can choose to either:
Gain a +1 bonus to a previously selected tool (which stacks
with each level)
Gain the ability to use the crafting area as an additional
artisan's tool
