The Death Knight: A Death Knight is a warrior born from
death, that uses arcane magic to enhance their blows with
necrotic energies, heal their wounds and assault their
opponents. They also gain the ability to channel magic
into their weapons, called Runic Blades, to empower their
attacks further. More akin to the Paladin, the Death

different from an early age, Mage Knights
generally have some arcane talent early in life.
Some beings such as this become sorcerers.
Others, pick up the blade and hone their
bodies as well. Though they aren't as proficient with blade
and armor as a fighter, a Mage Knight makes up for this with
a heavy dose of arcane magic.

Arcane Magic. Normally the prospect of the studied or the
lucky, it normally is in the hands of those that normally can't
fight on the front lines. Mage Knights buck this trend,
progressing their spellcasting along with their bodies to form
a singularly unique combination of war and spell.
While arcane magic requires study and experimentation,
mage knights find certain spells easier than other spell
casters. Those that deal with blade or sword. Those that exert
the will over the body and those that put power into a
singular place, not an area come easier to a Mage Knight
than others.
Mage Knights combine martial prowess and arcane flair
into a potent combination that can be anything from a
whirling dervish of spells and sword to an unstoppable
juggernaut of fortified weapony justice.
Innate Magical Warriors
Mageknights are warriors with innate spell casting abilities. A
mageknight, since early childhood, has had a feeling of being
different from others, always having a natural ability with a
sword, but no physical change occurs until the age of 13 or
14, when puberty begins, and strange things begin to happen
around the future mageknight, odd voices in the night, or
weird lights. Sometimes even so far as a small fire. Once the
mageknight learns of his ability, he either goes insane, or
hones his abilities to razor sharp perfection, blending magic
and blade to form a bastion of his chosen way of life, be it
protecting the good or gaining power through whatever
means. The mageknight always remembers that those
without swords can still die upon them, and as such trains
themselves in martial combat.

Creating a Mage Knight
As you create a Mage Knight the most important aspect you
should consider is what is their style of combat. Are they spell
casters first. Do they wade into combat sword swinging?
Quick Build
You can make a Mage Knight quickly by following these
suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest statistic
followed by Strength or Constitution. Second, choose the
Noble background with the Knight variant.
Class Features
As a mage knight you gain the following class features
Hit Points
Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + Constitution Modifier pr
Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution (a

Proficiencies
Armor: Light armor, medium armor, shields
Weapons: All simple weapons, one martial weapon chosen by
the mage knight
Tools: None
Saving Throws: Strength, Charisma
Skills: Choose two from Arcana, History, Insight,
Intimidation, Persuasion, and Religion
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the
equipment granted by your background:
(a) a mace or (b) a warhammer (if proficient)
Spellcasting
Arcane magic suffuses your soul and flowed from you at an
early age. You've focused it into a weapon, gaining the ability
to form that magic into viable spells. See chapter 10 of the
player's handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and
below for the mage knight spell list.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the
mage knight spell list. You learn additional mage knight
cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the
Cantrips Known column of the mage knight table.
Spell Slots
The mage knight table shows how many spell slots you have
to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these
mage knight spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level
or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish
a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands
and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you
can cast burning hands using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level or Higher
You know two 1st-level spells o f your choice from the mage
knight spell list.
The Spells Known column of the mage knight table shows
when you learn more mage knight spells of your choice. Each
of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell
slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you
can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the mage knight spells you know and replace it
with another spell from the mage knight spell list, which also
must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your mage knight
spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to
project your will into the world. 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 mage knight spell you cast and when
making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5) as a
spellcasting focus for your mage knight spells
Cantrip Specialty
At first level the mage knight selects one cantrip they know.
This cantrip may be cast as a bonus action. You may use this
once per short rest. When not cast as a bonus action, that
cantrip's damage is increased by your Charisma Modifier.
Arcane Empowerment
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to funnel arcane energy
directly from the aether, using that energy to fuel magical
effects. You start with two such effects: Body Adjustment and
an effect determined by your style. Some styles grant you
additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the
style description.
When you use your Arcane Empwerment, you choose
which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long
rest to use your Arcane Empowerment again.
Some Arcane Empowerment effects require saving throws.
When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals
your mage knight spell save DC.
Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Arcane
Empowerment twice between rests, and beginning at 18th
level, you can use it three times between rests. When you
finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses.
Arcane Empowerment: Body Adjustment
You may use your Body Adjustment gaining three effects that
persist for one minute.
The first is that you gain Advantage on Acrobatics,
Athletics and Perception rolls.
The second is that you gain Resistance to Bludgeoning and
Force damage.
The last is that you regain 3 hit points per round, +2 for
each Style Feature you possess
Arcane Style
At second level, choose one style related to your combat
ability: Dreadnaught, Rage Mage or Spell Breaker. Each style
is detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice
grants you style positions and other features when you
choose it.
It also grants you additional ways to use Arcane
Empowerment when you gain features at 2nd level, and
additional benefits at 6th, 8th, and 17th levels.
Style Positions
Each style has a list of spells—its Style Positions— that you
gain at the mage knight levels noted in the domain
description. Once you gain a style position spell, it is known
to you above and beyond your normal spells known.
If you have a style position spell that doesn’t appear on the
mage knight spell list, the spell is nonetheless a mage knight
spell for you.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.

effected by 1 sorcerer metamagic ability, chosen when the

Arcane Styles
Every mage knight is different. As such, each has their own
style of combat that epitomizes a facet of combat they value.
Listed here are three styles. The Dreadnaught, The Rage
Mage and The Spell Breaker. Each arcane style offers a use
of Arcane Empowerment and other abilities and abilities that
flesh out the style indicated.

Arcane Empowerment: Evocate!

At 2nd level, the rage mage gains the ability to add their
Charisma Modifier to the damage of all spells cast for one
round.
Spell Rage
At 2nd Level you gain the ability to, in battle, allow the raw
power of the arcane take you over. On your turn, you can
enter a spell rage as a bonus action. While in a spell rage, you
gain the following benefits if you aren’t wearing heavy armor:
You have advantage on Concentration checks to avoid
losing a concentrated spell.
When you cast a spell that deals damage, you gain a bonus
to the damage roll that increases as you gain levels as a
mage knight, as shown in the Spell Rage Damage chart
below.
You gain the metamagic Quickened Spell for the duration.
Once you have been in a spell rage for the number of times
shown for your mage knight level in the Spell Rage Damage
chart below, you must finish a long rest before you can use
spell rage again.
Arcane Empowerment: Bloodlust
At 6th level the rage mage can intensify their spells by
sacrificing a portion of their own vitality. By dealing
themselves damage equal to twice the spell's level, and using
Arcane Empowerment, the rage mage can activate the bonus
to damage listed in your spell rage chart for your level + your
Charisma Modifier.

Arcane Tempest
At 8th level, the rage mage becomes a whirling engine of
destruction while in a spell rage. During such a time, your
spells ignore all resistances/immunities to damage types
possessed by objects except to psychic and poison damage. If
an object has a damage threashold and resistances, the
resistances are ignored. Damage threashold is never ignored
unless DM approved.
Arcane Empowerment: Massive Spell
At 17th level the rage mage truly becomes a bastion of arcane
fury. Once per 3 days, they may use all remaining Arcane
Empowerments for the day to cast one truly momentous spell
of massive proportions.
The rage mage, when they prepare to cast a massive spell,
initially use all remaining charges of arcane empowerment.
They then enter a spell rage. These are done as part of the
action of casting a massive spell.
The rage mage then casts a single spell of any level they
have that has an area effect or multiple single targets. For
each arcane empowerment usage sacrificed in this manner,
the area or number of targets doubles. Sacrificing all 3 uses
of the day's arcane empowerment would yeld 8 times the
area or number of targets in this instance. Sacrificing 2
would yield 4 times.
Once this ability has been used, the rage mage loses access
to arcane empowerment, spell rage and this feature for 3
days.
The Spell Breaker
Specializing in breaking enemy spellcasters by making it so
that their spells fizzle before their onslaught, the spell
breaker initially is a master of the counterspell. Eventually,
however, they gain the ability to stifle other abilities, setting
up counter strokes to end combat swiftly.
Style Positions
Mage Knight
Level Spells
1st command, ensnaring strike
3rd hold person, silence
5th dispel magic, counterspell
7th banishment, confusion
9th modify memory, wall of force
Arcane Empowerment: Stifle
At 2nd level, the spell breaker gains the ability to cause
enemy spellcasters to faulter in their spell casting. By using
this arcane empowerment, they target one spellcaster within
100ft of them that they can see. The spellcaster must then
make a Constitution saving throw. Failure indicates that the
target must make a concentration check to cast any spell for
1 minute. The DC of the concentration check is determined
by your spell save DC.
Arcane Empowerment: Spell Break
At 6th level the spell breaker gains the ability to break the
spells of others with little effort. Breaking a spell is more
powerful than countering or dispelling it, it literally stops it
from being cast again by that caster for 1 minute.
Using Spell Break is a reaction that can be triggered when
an enemy spellcaster begins casting. The spell breaker
expends their arcane empowerment usage, and casts a single
level 1 or lower spell. If the spell hits the caster, the caster
reacts first to the spell (saves, concentration checks, damage,
etc), and then must make a charisma saving throw. Failure
indicates that the spellcaster's spell was inturrupted and
negated. It also temporarily removes the spell from that
caster's spell list for 1 minute. After 1 minute, the spell
returns as normal, and, if it was normally prepared by the
caster targeted, re-prepares itself.
Controller's Strike
At 8th level, the spell breaker's attacks become very adept at
inturrpting the spells of other spellcasters. When the
spellbreaker attacks, strikes and deals damage to an enemy
spellcaster that's casting a spell, the concentration DC to
keep the spell without losing it increases by the spell
breaker's charisma modifier.
Spell Sunder
At 17th level, the spell breaker may use an empowered
version of Spell Break. When they use arcane empowerment:
spell break, they may expend 2 uses instead of one to delete
the spell from the target's spell list for the remainder of
combat. After using spell sunder, you must take a long rest
before using it again.

The Spell Blade
I
t is said that behind every good man is a great
woman. That behind every king a shadow behind the
throne. In this case, the phrase should go, behind
every shield is a sharp blade. The Spell Blade is the
blade behind the shield. It is the ray fired into the
fireball to mask it's presence.
The night is split with the scream of a woman
who's husband has disintegrated before her eyes with no
visible cause. Into the night, a halfling spell blade readies to
go back to his employer and collect his pay.
With the last enemy down, the half dragon barbarian
stands triumphant over... wait... wasn't there five puny
humans? Where did the sparkle stealer go? It is then that the
illusion vanishes, and the half dragon realizes his enemy is
fully alive and well, hidden by their human spell blade's
magic.
Blade in one hand, wand in another, this elven spell blade
allows others to think he's a bladesinger, though he hates
singing, and has a terrible voice. When asked to sing for
others, he merely replies "Only in combat do I sing..."
The Shadow Casters
A blade in the back. A well placed spell to the head or the
eyes. That is the spell blade's bread and butter. They stick to
the shadows, casting spells silently and often to deadly effect.
Normal arcane casters stick to the back lines, lobbing spell
after spell at opponents. Spell blades offer a different reason
to stick to the back ranks... or the mid ranks... Or, with the
right light or opportunity... even the front ranks... Unseen,
unheard and often completely undetected, Spell Blades cast
spells, and steal more than your wallet.
Ready and Waiting
Though they prepare spells, the Spell Blade is a cunning
warrior and cagey. It isn't only by spell that it can bring you
low. Weapons hidden, flashing steel and singing spells all
make up a deadly warrior of arcane might and dexterity.
While most that would be Spell Blades turn instead to the
book or the dagger, and some even come back to arcana via
the Arcane Trickster, they've lost something that they
wouldn't be able to get back coming to the spell blade.

Arcane Sight
At first level, the spell blade gains the ability to see magic and
magical effects with more proficiency than others. Whenever
the spell blade has to make a Perception (Spot) check to
detect a magical effect or a save to overcome an illusion
effect, the spell blade is treated as proficient in Perception
and add twice your proficiency bonus to the roll.
Pilfer
At first level the spell blade gains the beginnings of their
spellcasting potential. They just haven't learned the knack of
casting from their own resevoir. Once per short or long rest,
the spell blade may attack an enemy as an action. If they deal
even 1 point of damage, they may copy one spell
known/prepared by the target and cast it for up to 1 minute a
maximum number of times equal to those listed on the usage
chart as if they were known and prepared. They may also
copy one of the spells that a monster may innately cast if they
have Innate Spellcasting or Spellcasting.
The number of uses per short or long rest increases to two
at 9th level and 3 at 17th level. At 20th level, the spell blade
may use this feature an unlimited number of times per rest.
The maximum level of spell that can be copied is listed in
the table: The Spell Blade under "Max Pilfer/Uses per Pilfer".
If you do not know exactly what spells the target has, the DM
selects one randomly of the levels you may copy. A spell blade
may only have 1 spell (or ability) copied at one time until 13th
level. See "Pilfer (Continuous)" for more information
Pilfer (Breath)
A subfeature to Pilfer, Pilfer (Breath) allows a spell blade of
fifth level or higher to copy the breath of a monster who's
Challenge Rating does not exceed their own. They treat this
as a spell of the maximum level they may pilfer, and it is
beholden to the maximum number of uses and the 1 minute
maximum hold.
Pilfer (Continuous)
Another subfeature to Pilfer, Pilfer (Continuous) allows a
spell blade of thirteenth level or higher to copy one
continuous ability possessed by a monster of their challenge
rating or lower. The ability lasts for 1 minute and is not lost to
the creature copied from. You may have one continuous effect
in place at one time and one pilfered spell or breath.
Examine
A spell blade of first level or higher may look at an opponent
as a bonus action and force them to make a Charisma saving
throw with a DC based on your spell save (See Spellcasting
below). If the target fails, the DM reveals spells possessed by
the opponent, including Innate Spellcasting of monsters.
At fifth level or higher examine detects the breaths of foes.
At thirteenth level or higher exmaine detects the
continuous abilities of opponents.
Spellcasting
As a practictioner and pilferer of arcane magic, you have a
resvoir of mystical tattoos containing spells that show the
first glimmerings of your true power. S ee chapter 10 of the
players handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and
below for the spell blade spell list.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the
spell blade spell list. You learn additional spell blade cantrips
of your choice at higher levels, as show n in the Cantrips
Known column of the spell blade table.
Tattoo Resevoir
At 1st level, you have a resevoir of tattos containing six 1st-
level spell blade spells of your choice.
The Tattoo Resevoir
The spells that you add to your resevoir as you gain
levels reflect the arcane research you conduct on
your own, spells you've stolen knowledge of, as
well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had
about the nature of the multiverse. You might find
other spells during your adventures. You could
discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil
wizard's chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in
an ancient library.
Copying a Spell into your resevoir. When you find a
spell of 1st level or higher that is on the spell blade
spell list, you can add it to your resevoir if it is of a
level for which you have spell slots and if you can
spare the time to decipher and copy it via tattoo
art.
Copying a spell into your resevoir involves
reproducing the basic form of the spell, then
deciphering the unique system of notation used by
the wizard who wrote it. You must practice the
spell until you understand the sounds or gestures
required, then transcribe it onto your body using a
tattooing.
For each level of the spell, the process takes 2
hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents
material components you expend as you
experiment with the spell to master it, as well as
the fine inks you need to tattoo it and the mithril
pins needed to etch it to your skin. Once you have
spent this time and money, you can prepare the
spell just like your other spells.

When you go to prepare your spells for the day,
you may cycle through all your spells by touching
part of your skin visible to you and concentrating
on the spells themselves. This changes the tattoo
to reflect the spells until that tattoo is settled on a
prepared spell. This process is repeated until you
have all possible spells you can prepare on your
skin somewhere. When you cast a spell, the tattoo
itself writhes slightly. Any spell caster that sees you
casting a spell may make a DC 30 Perception
(Spot) check to notice which spell is writhing, if
the spell blade can be seen at all. Attempts to copy
a spell by reading it from the spell blade's body
take a -5 penalty)
The Tattoo Resevoir cont...
Replacing the Book. You can copy a spell from your
own resevoir into a spellbook or tattoo it into
another resevoir. This is just like copying a new
spell into your resevoir, but faster and easier, since
you understand your own notions and already know
how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour
and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell.
If your skin is totally removed from you (How this
happens remains up to the GM) or you are
reincarnated, you may transcribe a new resevoir
just as if you were transcribing the old, being
allowed to scribe any spell you last had prepared
first, but having to find new spells to populate it.
The Book’s Appearance. Your spellbook is a unique
compilation of spells, with its own decorative
flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain,
functional leather volume that you received as a
gift from your master, a finely bound gilt-edged
tome you found in an ancient library, or even a
loose collection of notes scrounged together after
you lost your previous spellbook in a mishap.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The spell blade table shows how many spell slots you have to
cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these
spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher.
You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long
rest.
You prepare the list of spell blade spells that are available
for you to cast. To do so. choose a number of spell blade
spells from your resevoir equal to your Intelligence modifier +
your spell blade level (minimum of one spell). The spells must
be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you're a 3rd-level spell blade, you have four
1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of
16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or
2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your spellbook. If
you prepare the 1st-level spell magic missile, you can cast it
using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t
remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish
a long rest. Preparing a new list of spell blade spells requires
time spent studying your spellbook and m em orizing the
incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at
least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your spell blade
spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study
and mem orization. You use your Intelligence whenever a
spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use
your Intelligence m odifier when setting the saving throw DC
for a spell blade spell you cast and when making an attack
roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
intelligence modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5) as a
spellcasting focus for your spell blade spells.
Learning Spells of 1st Level or Higher
Each time you gain a spell blade level, you can add two spell
blade spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these
spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as
shown on the spell blade table. On your adventures, you
might find other spells that you can add to your spellbook
(see the “Your Spellbook” sidebar).
Spell Snipe
Beginning at 2nd level, the spell blade knows how to strike
subtly and exploit a foe’s distraction when casting spells.
Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one
creature you hit with a spell, if you have advantage on the
attack roll.
You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another
enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t
incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack
roll.
The amount of the extra damage increases by 1d6 at 6th
level, 10th level, 14th level and 18th level as noted on The
Spell Blade's table.
Quirk Feature
At third level, choose one quirk that defines your role in the
world: The Spell Shiv, The Arcane Agent or The Silencer.
Each quirk is detailed at the end of the class description.
Your choice grants you combat quirks and other features
when you choose it.
Combat Quirks
Each quirk grants one or more abilities that stack on either
Pilfer or Spell Snipe. Combat Quirks are active as part of the
action, but the Spell Blade may choose what and which
combat quirk activates and in which order if there are more
than one qualifying.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Quirks
Just as every thief has a calling card, so do spell blades have
quirks that define them as that same calling card. Listed here
are three quirks. The Spell Shiv, The Arcane Agent and The
Silencer. Each quirk offers abilities that aid the spell blade in
combat, and enhance their existing features
The Spell Shiv
From the shadows, a being watches his target. Slowly, those
with darkvision would see the black ink on his hand begin to
writh as a blue beam lances from his hand and with pinpoint
accuracy freezes his target solid, only for it to shatter shortly
after. Spell Shivs are long range spell snipers that strike from
shadows so deep that it's a wonder that they can even see.
Combat Quirk: Vicious Spell Snipe
At 3rd level, the spell shiv gains a more deadly version of spell
snipe. This variation of spell snipe grants 1d6 additional
damage to your spell snipe damage at 7th, 11th, 15th and
19th levels.
Deep Shadows
At 3rd level, the spell shiv is so adept at hiding in shadows,
that even if someone sees them, they might not have. While
the spell shiv is within 10ft of a shadow, anyone that makes a
Perception (Spot) check to notice them has disadvantage on
the roll.
In addition, the spell shiv may attempt to hide as a bonus
action if they are within 10ft of a shadow.
Combat Quirk: Ricochet Spell
At 9th level, the spell shiv gains the ability to sacrifice some of
their spell snipe bonus damage to ricochet a ray spell off of a
flat surface to move in a different direction up to 90 degrees.
For each surface you ricochet a ray spell off of, you must
sacrifice 1d6 of your spell snipe damage.
Brutal Spell Snipe
At 13th level, whenever a spell shiv rolls a 1 on a spell snipe
damage dice, that dice counts as a 2 instead.
Combat Quirk: Dirty Spell
At 17th level, the spell shiv has the ability to add one
condition to a ray spell fired by the spell shiv that deals
damage to it's intended target. The target gets a constitution
saving throw at the spell shiv's spell DC to resist the new
condition. Each condition reduces spell snipe damage on the
following chart.
Dirty Spell Effects
Spell Snipe
Condition Damage Reduction Duration
Prone -2d6 1 round
Blinded/Deafened -3d6 1 minute
Frightened -4d6 1 minute
Stunned -5d6 1 round
Paralyzed -6d6 1 round
The Arcane Agent
From the beautiful woman that gets the general to spill his
secrets, to the court vizier that is was actually replaced long
ago, the arcane agent is a master spy and constant face
changer. Most of the combat quirks of the arcane agent
revolve around trickery and guile.
Combat Quirk: Sneaky Flourish
By making a flourish when they use pilfer, the arcane agent
can hide the fact that they used pilfer. This is an opposed
check using the arcane agent's deception and the target's
insight. The roll has advantage if the attack did more than 10
damage.
One Thousand Faces
The arcane agent of 3rd level may cast Alter Self once per
short or long rest as a bonus action. By expending a spell slot
of 1st level or higher when you use this, as part of the action,
you may select a second function of alter self to use at the
same time with the same casting.
Cover Personality
At 3rd level, the arcane agent gains the ability to shift their
thoughts as well as their body. The arcane agent may only use
cover personality as a reaction when they use one thousand
faces. Once they use cover personality, their thoughts change
when detected to be what anyone that might view those
thoughts, or sense their alignment expects to find, or the
most benign result possible within credulity granting the
arcane agent advantage on Deception checks to stay in
character.
Combat Quirk: Shifting Draw
At 9th level, the arcane agent can manipulate the energy they
steal from an opponent with Pilfer. When a spell is stolen
from an opponent, an arcane agent may make a constitution
check to alter the energy of the spell to various effects.
If the spell copied uses an set energy type, the arcane agent
may select a different energy type to use when casting. Once
selected the new energy type is set for all castings of this
copy of the spell.
If the spell has an area of effect, the arcane agent may select The silencer knows that there is little time to get away once

object must be presented to the arcane agent by someone
else, or by dire circumstances for them to even realize it is on
their person much less that it should be used.
The Silencer
While some spell blades rely on ranged spells to do their
deadly work, the silencer is more hands on, using touch
attacks or area effects to do their job. They are most deadly at
close range, and even gain abilities with ranged spells in very
tight spaces.
Magic Smite
The silencer of 3rd level gains the ability to add paladin smite
spells to their personal class spell list. They must still
research, find and inscribe the smite spells normally, but they
become options.
Combat Quirk: Point Blank Spell
When the silencer uses a spell with a range, that deals
damage, within 10 feet of a target they add 1d6 to their spell
snipe damage.
This bonus damage increases by 1d6 at 11th and 17th
level.
Combat Quirk: Devastating Spell
Critical
When the silencer uses a touch spell, and rolls a natural 20
on the roll, the damage ignores resistances possessed by the
target, and the target becomes blinded or deafened (arcane
agent's choice) till the beignning of the arcane agent's next
turn.
Acrobatic Assault
The Death Knight
Beings of rot and decay, the death knights were once a
secluded order that raised the dead, and armed them. Not so
today, as they've learned to harness the power of necrotic
energies themselves, and have suffused their bodies with it's
esssence.
With a wave of their sword, the human death knight sends
a wave of necrotic energy to destroy her foes.
A quick word and a touch to her sword, the dragonborn
death knight swings and after stabbing her opponent releases
her spell from her blade, causing them to explode.
Sword still sheathed, the elven death knight waits patiently
as his opponent's charge, hand on hilt. Faster than the eye
can see, the enemy is cut down, but the sword looks as if it
hasn't moved.
Warriors of the dark arts
Death knights are practitioners of dark magic. Users of
necrotic, poison and psychic energies. Front line warriors
with magic as a back up option, Death Knights have the
unique ability to inscribe symbols on their weapons to store
spells within.
Other spellcasters are flashy, flamboyant characters that
show off, blow things up, and make sure everyone knows who
they are. Death Knights generally aren't, that that is by no
means absolute.
The warrior with the broadsword in the corner, may just be a
death knight, or they might just be a passing fighter. You
never know till they start casting spells.
Death Knights and Alignment
Though it lists above that death knights use dark energies
and are 'practitioners of the dark arts' this by no means says
that they are evil by default.
A death knight can be lawful good if they wish to. It's their
power source that uses necrotic and other energies thought
to be evil. While they run the risk of falling, they are not
initially fallen.
Sadly, death knights falling to vile behavior is not
uncommon, but isn't so common that every death knight is
expected to do.
There is a stigma attached to death knights that they are
vile necromancers bent on world domination. For moth, this
couldn't be further from the truth. A good number of death
knights only wish to fight fire with fire.

Runic Blade
Every death knight, when they enter their school is handed a
runic blade. This blade shifts to become the perfect weapon
for the death knight (Decided by the player, and normally the
weapon they chose in their starting package). The blade
begins with a single rune inscribed on it. At 4th, 8th, 12th and
16th level, an additional rune is inscribed on the blade.
Runic Blades allow the death knight to store and cast
spells later using their sword as the casting medium. It is also
used to channel the energies of the other features in this
class.
If the runic blade is lost or stolen, the death knight must
retrieve it before they may use the features that require it
again. If the runic blade is uncrecoverable or lost for more
than 72 hours, they must use an 8 hour process to infuse a
new weapon of the same type (Light, Heavy or Twin) into a
runic blade. It then recovers all abilities gained so far, but if
the old blade had spells infused, they are lost.
Using a runic blade as a focus uses the action of the ability
tied to it.
Using the runic blade to store spells for later, requires
whatever action that is required for the spell to be cast, and
requires any components to be expended at that time. The
spell is held, suspended in the rune until the death knight
uses an action to release the stored energy, completing the
spell. The spell functions normally after it's released from the
death knight's runic blade. Spells cast from a runic blade's
rune do not require the verbal or somatic components of the
spell. They have already been used to imbue the spell into the
blade.
Any spell with a target other than self can be stored in a
runic blade, and regardless of level, only one rune is used for
each spell.
When the spell is cast, the rune goes dark and cannot be
used again for 12 hours. Each round however, the death
knight may roll 1d6. On a 5 or a 6, the rune refreshes early
and may be used again.
Knight School
At 1st level, all death knights are sorted into schools
according to combat style. There are three schools, sanguine,
frozen and plague, each dealing with a different facet of
combat.
Sanguine School deals with life, and the knitting of
wounds using dark energies. It works to keep it's fighters
pressing on through impossible conditions.
Frozen school deals with the gripping chill of death and
massive damage. It works to freeze and break things, even
figuratively.
Plague school deals with the inevitibility of illness and
diminished capacity. It works to make combat for an
opponent impossible through the application of status effects.
Runic Soul
Once the death knight selects a school, one of their runes is
considered of that school (Sanguine school uses Blood
Runes, Frozen School uses Ice Runes and Plague School
uses Plague Runes). Each school receives at least one ability
tied to the use of runes of their school.
20
At 7th 13th and 19th level one additional rune transforms
into a runic soul.
Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. C
hoose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting
Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose
again.
Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no
other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that
weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you
make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two
hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The
weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for
you to gain this benefit.
Protection
When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you
that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to im
pose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a
shield.
Ravager
When you strike a creature successfully and deal at least 1
point of damage, you may use a bonus action to attack a
different adjacent creature.
Exitum Mundi
The signiture ability of a death knight is to infuse a single
strike with dark energies and use it a a weapon. While
extremely effective, it is also one of the more dangerous
weapons in the death knight arsenal.
To use Exitum Mundi, the dath knight brews necrotic
energies within themselves. Doing this deals one half the
attempted damage back to the death knight. Using exitum
mundi is an action. Once charged, there is two options for the
death knight.
The first is to use exitum mundi as a 15ft cone of necrotic
energy.
The second option is to infuse their runic blade with the
energy gaining 1 round of attacks infused with that energy.
The initial damage addition is 2d6 necrotic damage. The
damage increass according to the death knight class table
above.
Spellcasting
By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on arcane magic
through meditation and study to cast spells as a wizard does.
See chapter 10 of the player's handbook for the general rules
of spellcasting and below for the death knight spell list.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The death knight table shows how many spell slots you have
to cast your spells. To cast one of your death knight spells of
1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level
or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish
a long rest.
You prepare the list of death knight spells that are available
for you to cast, choosing from the death knight spell list.
When you do so, choose a number of death knight spells
equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your death knight
level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must
be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level death knight, you have
four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Intelligence
of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of
1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-
level spell magic missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a
2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your
list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish
a long rest. Preparing a new list of death knight spells
requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1
minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your death knight
spells, since their power derives from the strength ofyour
convictions. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers
to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your
Intelligence m odifier when setting the saving throw DC for a
death knight spell you cast and when making an attack roll
with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a runic blade as a spellcasting focus for your
death knight spells.
Mors Novissium
The death knight of 3rd level or higher has been rejected by
death and becomes immune to diseases of all types.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Locus Finim
Starting at 7th level, whenever a hostile creature within 10
feet of you must make a saving throw, the creature takes a
penalty to the saving throw equal to your Intelligence
modifier (with a minimum penalty of +1). You must be
conscious to impose this penalty. At 18th level, the range of
this aura increases to 30 feet.
Vitale Zonam
Starting at 11th level, whenever a creature dies within 30 feet
of the death knight, the death knight regains 1 hit point. If the
creature was directly killed by the death knight or one of their
effects, the death knight instead gains back the creature's
challenge rating (minimum 2) hit points back.
This has a secondary effect. If a creature witnesses this
pros, and is an enemy of the death knight, they take
disadvantage on saving throws versus fear effects for 1 round.
Finis Mundi
At 13th level, the death knight gains an improvement on
Exitum Mundi, Finis Mundi that allows the death knight the
option of switching the damage type of Exitum Mundi from
Necrotic to either Poison or Psychic as part of the action
fousing it.
Death Knight Schools
The three current schools of the death knight are split down
the three facets of death. Sanguine, Frozen and Plague. Each
offers a different favored style of fighting, and combat
options.
Sanguine School
The school espousing blood either letting or clotting, the
sanguine school is a school made for those that have a high
pain tolerance. They gain the ability to take wounds upon
themselves, and transfer them to others. And the ability to
heal.
Favored Style
Students of the sanguine school are taught to fight with a
weapon in one hand and a shield on the other. At first level,
students of the sanguine school may cast spells with a shield
on their arm and a weapon in hand, substituting flourishes for
somatic components.
Sanguis Ictus
The sanguine death knight of first level, learns the basics of
blood control. While they have a blood rune without a spell
stored within it, you heal 2 points of damage every time you
deal 3 or more damage to a creature with blood. You may use
this to heal from creatures without blood, but the required
damage becomes 6+.
21
 Semita Caedem
Once per long rest, the sanguine death knight of 3rd level
may empower one of their runes to grant them power in
combat as a bonus action. While the rune is so empowered
the sanguine death knight increases their AC by +1 and their
runic blade's damage dice that rolls 1's become 2's.
This ability lasts for 1 minute until the rune becomes used as
if you used it to cast a spell, but it cannot be recharged with a
d6.
Sanguinem Percutiens
At 6th level, the sanguine death knight gains the ability to
cause wracking pain and bleeding when they strike with an
empowered blade. While using semita caedem any target that
takes hit point damage from the sanguine death knight's
runic blade has disadvantage on reflex saves and dexterity
based checks for 2 rounds thereafter the target's body is
wracked with pain. Targets without blood or some similar
fluid are immune to this ability.
Mors Pati
At 10th level, the sanguine death knight gains the abilty to
endure the harshest of blows. When you have a spell imbued
in a blood rune, you get advantage on death saving throws
and Constitution saving throws.
In addition. While all your blood runes have spells imbued,
you have a 33% chance to turn any critical hit against you into
normal damage (The DM rolls the percentage dice to figure
this out, not the player).
Sanguis Ambula
At 14th level, the sanguine death knight gains the ability to
travel through the blood of others. As an action, a sanguine
death knight may make an attack roll against a target that is
suffering hit point damage. Should they succeed the attack
roll, they may select another target that is suffering hit point
damage. The sanguine death knight enters the first target,
and exits from the second target. In all other respects, this
ability functions like the spell dimension door.
The sanguine death knight may use this ability twice per
short or long rest.
At 18th level, this ability improves to allow a grusome exit.
It functions as before, but both the initial target and the
second target suffer the death knight's exitum mundi damage
without recoiling it at the death knight.
Sanguis Domini
At 20th level, the true power of the sanguine death knight
school becomes apparent. Once per long rest, they may
transform themselves into the "Avatar of Blood" gaining the
following abilities.
Resistance to all damage except acid and poison
The ability to regain 10 hit points at the beginning of each
round as long as they have at least 1 hit point remaining.
The ability to refresh their blood runes at will for the
duration as an action.
Advantage on all Constitution based checks, including
Constitution Saving throws.
The transformation lasts for 1 minute before the sanguine
death knight reverts back to normal.
22
Frozen School
Those of the frozen school know that offense is fine, but
controlled offense, one that breaks the enemy on
overwhelming waves of cold and death.
Favored Style
Twin weapons are the style of choice for the frozen death
knight. They may cast spells while wielding one or two
weapons substituting flourishes for the somatic components
of spells.
Cordis Gelita
The heart of a frozen death knight is a frozen ice ball. While
you have an ice rune without a spell stored within it, one of
your successful attacks per turn force the target to make a
constitution saving throw or suffer from "frost fever" taking a
-2 penalty to AC and gaining disadvantage on Dexterity
saving throws for 1 round. Creatures without blood or some
equivilent internal liquid gain advantage on the constitution
saving throw to avoid frost fever.
Exitio Glacialis
Once per long rest, the frozen death knight of 3rd level may
empower one of their runes to grant them power in combat.
While the rune is so empowered, the death knight may take
advantage on one strength based roll per round. This
includes one attack roll.
This ability lasts for 1 minute until the rune becomes used
as if you used it to cast a spell, but it cannot be recharged
with a d6.
Percute Glacians
At 6th level, the frozen death knight gains the ability to slow
targets he's struck with an empowered blade. While using
exitio glacialis, any target that takes hit point damage from
the frozen death knight's runic blade becomes the target of a
slow spell as normal for the casting for two rounds as they
become partially frozen.
Gaudete Glacies
At 10th level, the frozen death knight gains the ability to make
an area around them unbearably cold, and cause those
around them to take extra damage from their hits.
While the frozen death knight has active ice runes
(Meaning at least one is still able to either hold or is holding a
spell, or is empowering his blades), they exude an aura 20
feet around them of unrelenting cold. Any enemies within that
area must succeed a constitution saving throw or have their
speeds reduced 10 feet while they remain in the aura.
In addition, while they are so effected, they take extra
damage equaling the frozen death knight's exitum mundi
damage once per round from any attack that hits them.
Et Sub Glacies
At 14th level, the frozen death knight has a thin layer of ice
coating them at all time. This grants them resistance to acid
and cold damage. In addition, any attack from the frozen
death knight deals 1d8 additional cold damage on hit, plus
1d10 cold damage on a critical hit (2d10 if the critical is from
the second attack during a round of dual wielding).
Glacialem Rex
At 20th level, the power of ice courses through the frozen
death knight like the icy chill of winter. Once per long rest,
they may become the avatar of winter gaining the following
abilities:
Resistance to all damage except fire and psychic
Additional cold damage to all cold effects of 3d6
The ability to refresh their ice runes at will for the
duration as an action.
Advantage on all Strength based checks, including
Strength saving throws
The transformation lasts for 1 minute before the frozen
death knight reverts back to normal.
Plague School
Where ice and blood wade into melee combat, those of the
plague school are taught to be more patient. Weaken your foe
with plague and an unrelenting wave of minions.. Then...
when they're at their weakest... use your massive two handed
runic blade to end them swiftly.
Favored Style
Those of the plauge school favor massive two handed
weapons. As such, they may cast spells while double handing
a weapon, substituting blade movements for somatic
components.
Plaga Portarent
Plague is the part and parcel of a plague death knight's
arsenal. As such, at first level, they learn that their blows have
a chance to spark death and decay in their targets. Any target
struck by one of the plague death knight's melee weapon
attacks must make a Constitution saving throw or contract
"live rot" an extremely virile disease with an incubation time
of 30 seconds (5 rounds).
Live Rot
This extremely potent disease's strength doesn't come from
the infection itself, it comes after the target dies while being
infected.
When infected, the target makes a Constitution saving
throw at the plague death knight's spell save DC. Failure
indicates they have been infected. 5 rounds later the disease
begins taking effect
Infected targets only heal one half the normal hit points
from expending hit dice and have disadvantage on Strength
and Constitution based saving throws and have 1 level of
exhaustion.
Each round after infection begins, the target must make
another Constitution based saving throw or suffer one level of
exhaustion. To recover from the disease, a target must make
a successful Constitution based saving throw to stave this
disease off while their exhaustion counter is 0.
If the target dies while infected, they rise again as an
equivilent undead minion. See "Minions" for details.
Minion List
Plague Death
Knight Level Undead Type
1st-4th Skeleton, Zombie or Shadow
5th-8th Ghoul, Ghast
9th-12th Mummy, Wight
13th-16th Banshee, Bone Naga or Ghost
17th+ Revenant, Vampire Spawn or Wraith
The plague death knight does not have to choose the
maximum level undead that they have access to, they may
choose from a lower set of levels.
Somnium Febricitantem
Once per long rest, the plague death knight of 3rd level may
empower one of their runes to grant them power in combat.
While the rune is so empowered, spells that deal damage also
carry live rot.
This ability lasts for 1 minute until the rune becomes used
as if you used it to cast a spell, but it cannot be recharged
with a d6.
Os Gaudete
At 6th level, live rot evolves to make damage more effective
against infected targets. While a target is infected with live
rot, they gain a vulnerability to bludgeoning, slashing, poison
and necrotic damage.
While the plague death knight has rune empowered, they
may force a target to have disadvantage on their save versus
live rot once per short rest.
Coronam de Vermes
At 10th level, the plague death knight may summon vermin
and plauged critters around them that nip and bite at those in
the aura. The aura extends 20 feet, and any within the aura
must make a Strength based saving throw at the beginning of
the plague death knight's turn or take their Intelligence
Modifier in damage, and have disadvantage on attack rolls
that turn.
Percute Exarescet
At 14th level, the plague death knight can attempt to purge a
target of positive effects.This is done as an action, and is
usable once per short rest.
To use this, the plague death knight makes a touch attack
against a target, and if it hits, the target must make a spell
saving throw DC constitution saving throw or have it's
positive effects reduced or suppressed.
Immunities are reduced to Resistances, Resistances are
suppressed. Magical effects such as Mage Armor or the like
are similarly suppressed. Regeneration is shut off. These
effects last for 1d6+1 rounds before they are restored. Spells
however have concentration ended when they are removed,
only natural effects come back.
23
 Caput Mors Est Scriptor
At 20th level, plague courses through the plague death
knight's blood. Once per long rest, they may become death's
head gaining the following abilities:
Resistance to all damage except electricity and radiant
Targets infected with live rot take the plague death
knight's constitution modifier in damage every round.
The ability to refresh their plague runes at will for the
duration as an action.
Advantage on saving throws versus poison, fear and mind
controll effects.
The transformation lasts for 1 minute before the frozen
death knight reverts back to normal.

24
The Demon Hunter
S
talking through the shadows, weaving arcane
magics silently to strike foes that topple normal
mortals. The Demon Hunter is a stalker of
abominable targets. They hunt the demons, the
devils, primordials and even rogue celestial
beings. They do make time to hunt normal
creatures as well, as they are, after all, hunters by
nature. When the chips are down, they can assume the full
power of their enemies to survive against all odds.
Stalking into the abyss unseen to take out a minor demon
general, the halfling demon hunter leaves no witnesses to
their power.
Backed into a wall, the dragonborn demon hunter lets
loose an infernal cry and sprouts demonic horns and wings,
amplifying her power. Her targets don't stand a chance.
With a mighty swing of his arms, the dwarven demon
hunter calls down a deluge of hellfire roasting his enemies
and fighting evil with fire.
Stalkers of the Night
The demon hunter is a creation of necessity. There is no such
thing as a born demon hunter. They are made. They choose
to fight fire with fire. Demon with Demonic strength.
They are the whisper in the armies of Baator, they are the
scream in Pandemonium that can't be placed.
As arcane caster sgo, they are very good casters, or they
are mediocre casters, depending on specialization. Each
demonhunter is split into a coven. Depending on the coven,
the demonhunter specializes in different talents.
Beneath it all, demon hunters generally have a viceral
opinion of those that come from extraplaner locations.
Somehow they have been touched, for good or ill by outside
forces. Perhaps they were tasked by a celestial to hunt evil.
Perhaps their parents were killed in a dark alley before them
by a minor demon. Eitehr way, none can deny the talent this
brings out.
Casters of Hell and Fury
Demon hunters use the powers of those they fight to fight
back, syphoning magic directly from these places of evil and
transforming it into positive change. As such, their casting
differs from sorcerers, wizards, mage knights and death
knights.
More akin to spell blades, a demon hunter can
spontaneously reform magics they've figured out the process
of, they can also draw magic from enemies, and either store it
for later learning or fire it immediately back at the creature.
At later levels, they learn to counter the special abilities of
their targets by setting up counter-draws, magical
wavelengths that are the exact opposite of what's being cast.
The three covens of demon hunters, The Coven of the
Hidden Eye, The Morphic Coven and The Coven Vindicta all
focus on a different aspect of hunting vile creatures. The
Hidden Eye focuses on revealing the enemy and forcing it
into the light. The Morphic Coven focuses on bringing the
demon's own might to bear against them and the Vindicta
focuses on the magical might that will eventually banish the
evil back to the darkness it sprang from.

choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you
have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this
class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the demon hunter spells you know and replace
it with another spell from the demon hunter spell list, which
also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your demon hunter
spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to
overcome the vast will of the demonic entities you steal the
power of. 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 demon
hunter spell you cast and when making an attack roll with
one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the
player's handbook) as a spellcasting focus for your demon
hunter spells
Coven
At 3rd level, you delve into the advanced techniques of a
demon hunter coven of your choice: "The Coven of the
Hidden Eye", "The Morphic Coven" and "The Coven
Vindicta", both detailed at the end of the class description.
Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th,
10th, 14th and 20th level
Daemonblood
At 3rd level, the demon hunter gains the ability to take on
minor features of the very creatures he fights. When they first
gain this ability, they may change their features to gain minor
abilities.
The demon hunter may use this ability twice before they
must complete a short or long rest. They may stay
daemonized for up to one hour per 1/2 their demon hunter
level (rounded down) before they revert to their normal form.
Regardless of level, the demon hunter gains the following
benefits at the beginning of the transformation.
Temporary Hit Points
Advantage on their next Strength, Dexterity or
Constitution saving throw
+10 ft land speed
28
The first ability that the demon hunter may copy is one
resistance chosen from the following list (acid, cold, fire,
force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, thunder)
At 9th level, you may either select two different resistances
or may select one resistance and to grow a wicked natural
weapon giving you the Multiattack quality for 2 attacks.
At 15th level, you may select either three resistances or two
resistances and to grow natural weapons to give you the
Multiattack Quality for 2 attacks, or may select one resistance
and to have an extra natural weapon to gain Multiattack for
three attacks.
At 19th level, you may select either three resistances and
the multiattack quality for 2 attacks, or two resistances and
the multiattack quality for three attacks, or one resistance
and one immunity of a different element or condition from
the following list (Elements: Poison, Fire, Acid or Electricity;
Conditions: Poisoned, Diseased)
Infernal Compass
At 3rd level, the demon hunter gains the ability to see
extraplaner creatures with a sort of second sight. Activating
this second sight is a bonus action and reveals all extraplaner
creatures in a 100ft area of the demon hunter to the demon
hunter's sight.
Demons under non-detection abilities are not revealed by
this sight. The demon hunter may use this ability for up to
one hour before it shuts off up to one half their level times per
long rest.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Eternal Hunt
Starting at 18th level, the demonic magic that you wield
causes you to age more slowly. For every 10 years that pass,
your body ages only 1 year
Covens
Not a traditional heiarchy, demon hunters congragate into
cell-like structures known as covens. Covens are generally
free floating, but the names of the three below are the most
prevalent ones. Also all covens focus on one of the three
areas of the demon hunter, so can be renamed and fit into
one of them.
The Coven of the Hidden Eye
Hidden in the shadows of most layers of the abyss and baator
are those that make the hunt their own. These hunters
believe that the war can be won with force of arms, and that
thse that rely on "parlor tricks" will eventually be rooted out
and killed by the enemy.
They do keep a small amount of magic at their disposal, as
even the most hardened Hidden Eye member will be
hardpressed to admit they need NO magic. But only the most
militant or damaging spells will do.
The Hidden, as they are called, gain abilities that allow them
to fight harder physically and stay in the fight longer than
others
Fighting Style
At second level, the very first thing a member of the hidden
learns, is a style of fighting optimized for them. Choose one
of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option
m ore than once, even if you later get to choose again.
Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged
weapons.
Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no
other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that
weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you
make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two
hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even
if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-
handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
Ravager
When you strike a creature successfully and deal at least 1
point of damage, you may use a bonus action to attack a
different adjacent creature.
Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your
ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Reduced Casting
The hidden don't particularly believe in spellcasting for it's
own sake. For this, they remove several helpful but less
powerful spells from their spell list and don't cast nearly as
many spells per day.
Remove any spell from the demon hunter spell list that
doesn't deal damage or grant advantage on a dice roll.
In addition, remove 1 spell per day that the demon hunter
casts per spell level, and 1 cantrip from their cantrips known.
If this would result in a 0 spells per day, the demon hunter
must wait till the next level to gain their first spell.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
At 14th level, you may make three attacks instead of two
Censure Outsiders
The hidden of 6th level, gains the ability to cause great
unease in the actions of outsiders. This ability only effects
those of the outsider type. The hidden may use this ability
twice per short or long rest. Using censure outsiders is a
bonus action. The hidden expends a spell slot of a level they
can cast and creates a burst 10 feet around per spell level. All
outsiders within that area must make a Charisma save using
your spell save as the DC. Failure indicates that the outsider
has disadvantage on all attack rolls for 1 minute.
Improved Fighting Style
At 10th level, you have been through so much rigorous
training to destroy evil, that your fighting has improved
noticibly. Your fighting styles change to the following

the unending hordes of outsiders and other extraplaners that
seek to "corrupt" or "enlighten" our world. In that, the last
moment, they can unleash everything they have left in one
final flurry of desperation.

The ability to regain 10 hit points per round up to 1/2
their maximum
Temporary hit points equal to those drained
The ability lasts 1 minute, after which the demon hunter
falls unconscious and must make a death save.

Lord Slayer
The final ability of the hidden demon hunter, learned at 20th
level, is the culmanation of all the hidden demon hunter's
training. Each of these are tied to one of the hidden's fighting
styles, but must be activated as a bonus action.
These abilities stack onto, and do not replace "Improved
Fighting Style" This means that you gain the abilities, once
activated, in addition to the "improved fighting style" feature
The abilities last for 1 minute, and can be used once per
short or long rest.

Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, your bonus action
to gain an extra attack, gains the benefits of any "Extra
Attack" features you have.
The Morphic Coven
While the Coven of the Hidden Eye relies solely on the
strength of their arms, and very little magic, the morphic
coven relies on adapting and improving the strength they
steal from their enemies to battle them. Nothing makes a
morphic happier than seeing an enemy fall to claws that
appear demonic.
They, unlike the hidden, retain their normal casting, relying
on transformative effects to bolster strength.
Blood of the Ancients
The first ability that a morphic learns, at 2nd level, is the
basics of the Daemonblood set of transformations. They gain
the level 3 ability of daemonblood at 2nd level.
At 6th, 10th, and 14th levels, they gain the next three
abilities listed within daemonblood. At 20th level, they gain
the most powerful ability tied to daemonblood. True
Daemonic Metamorphosis
At 20th level, you gain the ability to transform into an
actual demon for a shorter period of time than their normal
transformation.
30
The maximum challenge rating you may assume is 1/3
your demon hunter level +1. You may assume the form of any
outsider (Celestial, Elemental or Fiend) within that set of
challenge ratings. You can revert to your normal form earlier
by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically
revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.
While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the
outsider, but you retain your alignment, personality, and
Intelligence, Wisdom , and Charisma scores. You also
retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in
addition to gaining those of the outsider. If the outsider
has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat
block is higher than yours, use the outsider’s bonus
instead of yours. If the outsider has any legendary or lair
actions, you can't use them.
When you transform, you assume the outsider’s hit points
and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you
return to the number of hit points you had before you
transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping
to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your
norm al form. For example, if you take 10 damage in
animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and
take 9 damage. A s long as the excess damage doesn’t
reduce your norm al form to 0 hit points, you aren’t
knocked unconscious.
You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any
action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of
your outsider form. Transforming doesn’t break your
concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or
prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell,
such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
You retain the benefit of any features from your class,
race, or other source and can use them if the new form is
physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any
of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your
new form also has that sense.
You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in
your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it.
Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides
whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of
equipment, based on the outsider’s shape and size. 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 it. Equipment
that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the
form.
Morphic Strike
At 6th level, the morphic demon hunter learns to maximize
the combination of arcane might and physical brute strength.
As a bonus action, the morphic demon hunter may expend a
spell slot to gain a +1 bonus on their next attack and +1d4
damage to their next damage roll per level of the spell.
They may use this once per short or long rest.
Morphic Survivability
At 10th level, the morphic demon hunter has refined his art of
transformation to be able to rearrange their vital spots a bit,
allowing them to avoid some serious harm. To use this, the
morphic demon hunter uses a bonus action and expends a
spell slot of 2nd level or higher.
For 1 minute thereafter, attacks that deal extra damage to
vital areas such as sneak attack, have disadvantage on the
attack rolls to use them.
The morphic demon hunter may use this once per long
rest.
At 14th level, the morphic demon hunter may expend a
spell slot of 3rd level or higher to regain 10 hit points per
round for 1 minute.
This ability may be used once per long rest.
Final Morph
The ultimate ability of the morphic coven allows them to
temporarily gain phenominal power for a short time. They
may use final morph once per seven days and a use of this
ability lasts 1 minute.
Using final morph is an action and increases the 20th level
ability of Blood of the Ancients from 1/3 morphic demon
hunter level to 2/3 morphic demon hunter level
Once the minute has expired, the morphic demon hunter
reverts to the strongest form they can normally acquire (CR
1/3 level +1) for the remainder of the time and gain 1 level of
exhaustion.
The Coven Vindicta
Vindicta was once a coven based solely around the
acquisition of knowledge and applying it for the other covens
to use versus their targets. That all changed some time ago
when an attack on their main store of knowledge, contained
at the peak of Mt Celestia's vast plane.
From there, Vindicta chose to go to war fully, using their
knowledge to aid all covens, not just their brethren.
Casters without measure in the covens, the vindicta utilize
spells at their peak that baffle lesser demon hunters, some
are even rumored to have spells that reshape reality.
Enhanced Spellcasting
The vindicta prides itself on casting far beyond the power of
they're breathren. At second level, the vicdicta's spell list
changes as follows:

 Celestial Attestation
While demon hunters of most stripes dislike any sort of
extraplaner being, the vindicta and most celestials have a
truce that extends back to the foundation of the demon
hunters themselves.
Some say that it was the celestials own blood, placed into a
blessed chalace that granted the first demon hunter their
powers. Others say that the vindicta made the truce in order
to have their library somewhere they believed it safe.
Regardless of what is the truth, the fact is that, a celestial
creature will not willingly attack a vindicta demon hunter of
6th level or higher. The two caveats to this, is that they will
consider that particular vindicta beyond the truce if the
vindicta attacks them, and will defend themselves normally,
and the vindicta must identify themselves as a vindicta to the
celestial before the truce is upheld.
Radiant Bargain
The vindicta knows that the only thing that matters when
fighting demons, devils, yugloths, elementals, and other
extraplaner beings, is that he who stands up last wins. To this
end, the vindicta has learned to harness radiance, inherent in
all magic, to bolster themselves in combat.
At 10th level, whenever the vindicta casts a spell (Not a
cantrip), they heal the spell's level in hit points.
At 14th level, the healing increaes to one and a half times
the spell level (rounded down)
At 20th level, the healing increases to twice the spell level.

The Arcane Fist
U
narmed combat has always been the purview
of aesthetic monks and their divine teachings.
From their monestaries, they've mastered the
fist, and have an inkling what it means to use
the elements with simple tricks. The Arcane
Fist have taken the thought of the way of the
fist in a different direction, using arcane
energies to directly empower their abilities.
When the first school was created, it was deemed by the
headmaster that people had natural talent to a certain type of
empowerment, and thus, he had everyone evaluated, and
broken into teams. Team Celeri makes use of magic to speed
up themselves and their strikes. Team Fortis uses magic to
harden their bodies and their fists and Team Callidus uses
magic to enhance their minds to amazing potentials of
thought and battle strategy.
Internalized Arcanists
Where a wizard might cast a fireball, or a monk may throw a
flurry of blows, the Arcane Fist simply internalizes the
fireball, throws one punch, and makes it a flurry of firey death
around him. The arcane fist channels most magics to
enhance themselves in battle, oftentime becoming unto living
spells of their own.
All arcane fists have the basic ability to draw from the well
within themselves, and channel arcane energies and though
all specialize in one focus or another, they all create awesome
displays of power by simply willing their bodies to become
more powerful.
All arcane fists have a focus that becomes the medium in
which they internalize their magic. Normally one of the four
core elements, Earth, Fire, Water or Wind, there are also
Void and Radiant elements. How the arcane fist internalizes
magic, tells what they will be able to accomplish, and what
effects they will be able to unleash.
Spontaneous Pugilists
All arcane fists have the potential for spontaneous magic.
They would, in any other direction, be sorcerers, but they
chafed at the general weakness that they see in the sorcerer,
the "achelles heel" of those that use magic to lob fireballs at
opponents from their own inner wellspring.
That flaw was no staying power. One or two good hits with
a sword and any wizard or sorcerer cornered will fold. Not so
for the arcane fist, as they are taught techniques to extend
their power to stay in a fight, and in some cases, even outlast
their opponents by sheer force of fortitude and will.
An arcane fist is taught to internalize their magic, forcing it
to bubble in explosive effect during fist fights. Some have
adapted techniques that further this power. That make them
faster, or stronger or tougher. But at the end of the day, they
are, in a way, the strangest caster in existance.

Unarmored Defense
Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and
not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity
modifier + your Charisma modifier.
Fisticuffs
At 1st level, the teaching of fisticuffs gives you mastery of
combat styles that use unarmed strikes as their main forte,
with gauntlets, and the occasional simple weapon or
shortsword as that don’t have the two-handed or heavy
property.
You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or
wielding only simple weapons or shortswords and you aren’t
wearing arm or or wielding a shield:
You can the higher of your Dexterity or Strength for the
attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and
proficient weapons.
You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your
unarmed strike or applicable weapon. This die changes as
you gain arcane fist levels, as shown in the Fistifuffs
column of the Arcane Fist table.
When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or
applicable weapon on your turn, you may use a bonus
action to add 1 additional dice of damage to the damage
roll.
You may use a pair of gauntlets as a simple weapon. if you
do, you are treated as an arcane fist 4 levels higher for
unarmed damage (1d10 becomes 1d12).
Internal Magic
You harness magic differently than any other caster. You do
not prepare or actually cast spells, but have learned to draw
from the innate magic within you to enhance your own body
and combat potential.
The most basic of these is your fistifuffs damage. There are
a myriad of other applications, as noted below, and in your
Team entries. At first level you may select up to three first
level effects. At each level thereafter, you gain one additional
effect of a level up to the highest effect you may use.
Most effects listed below are derived from a spell (This will
be noted in their entry).
At the start of each day you receive an amount of Magic
Points orMP based on your level. Using an effect requires you
to expend 1 MP per Effect Level. You begin at level 1 with 4
MP. See the Arcane Fist chart for the number of point syou
get per level.
Regaining MP during a Short Rest
You may, at your option, choose to expend a Hit Dice and gain
back MP instead of HP.

blurring out from their position and teleporting to one target
within 100ft. They make an unarmed strike on that target
that deals their damage +5d8 lightning damage. They may

action.

your reaction to gain immunity to that type of damage,

wrapped in a flexible field of force energy. They can still grip
and manipulate objects, but are clumsy while doing so, taking
disadvantage on dexterity checks that require fine hand
coordination.
While active, your unarmed strikes deal 3d10 additional
Force Damage. You may, as a bonus action, make a ranged
spell attack against one target within 30 feet by punching the
air and extending the force field out. This attack does the
same as a melee attack.
While active, your limbs are immune to damage, even so far
as being able to cup lava in the arcane fists' hands, wade,
ankle deep in acid, or walk over hot coals unharmed.
8th Level Effects
Magekiller's Fists
8th level effect
School: Abjuration
Associated Spell: Anti-Magic Field

before dissipating.
Seismic Strike
8th level effect
School: Evocation
Associated Spell: Earthquake
40
Alternate Names: None
Duration: Instant, then 1 minute
One of the most powerful effects an arcane fist has is to
create seismic tremors around them with a single
tremendous strike to the ground. Unlike other tremor
inducing effects, seismic strike even effects airborne targets,
waterborne targets and etheral targets.
It's instantaneous effect is that all within a 100ft area must
make a Dexterity Saving throw or take 10d8 Bludgeoning
damage. A successful save halves this damage. They must
then make a Strength Saving throw or be knocked prone, or
if airborne, fall from the air, taking falling damage normally.

spell for the remaining duration.

air and dive into your foes hitting every being withing a 40
foot radius of your landing zone. Each enemy that is hit takes
20d6 Bludgeoning damage and 20d6 damage chosen from
the shockwave smash random elements chart.
This repeats itself 3 more times before the effect ends.
Targets may be struck by multiple hits, but only from
additional bursts. Each opponent is attacked only once per
burst.
Teams
The academy that began teaching arcane fists to harness the
magical energies within them saw a trend amongst their
students. Three types generally emerged. Those that were
quick of body, quick of mind or quick of heart. The academy
instructors decided to split the students into three teams, to
better teach each type of student in their own way.
These teams would become known as "Team Celeri", "Team
Fortis" and "Team Callidus". The first is for students quick of
body, the second are for those quick of heart, and the last is
for those quick of mind. At 2nd level, you choose one of these
three teams to call your own.
Manifest Adivism
At 2nd level, the arcane fist begins to change due to the raw
arcane energies being forced through their bodies instead of
being expelled like a sorcerer or wizard. They may choose
one effect now, and at 7th, 12th and 18th level gain an
additional choice.
+1 to Dexterity. Cannot go above 20
+1 to Charisma. Cannot go above 20
+1 Hit Point per Level (Gained and Future)
+1 bonus to one Saving Throw
+1 bonus to one Skill
+1 to AC
+1 to Melee Attack Rolls
You may choose the same effect up to twice.
Internal Reflexes
Arcane fists of 3rd level have a unique ability to extend some
of their arcane energies out to their skin, turning blows that
would fell normal people into glancing shots. While the
arcane fist is conscious, he has a semi tangible field around
him that allows them to focus arcane energy to the point of
an impact as a bonus action.
When this is used, it attempts to catch a single melee or
ranged attack directed at the arcane fist, reducing damage
dealt by 1d10 + Charisma Modifier + arcane fist level.
Because they are not using their hands to do this, they may
not catch projectiles as a Monk would.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Unarmed Style
At 5th level, the arcane fist is considered a first degree master
of a style of arcane fisticuffs. They gain one of the styles listed
below.
Technician
Whenever the arcane fist deals unarmed damage, add their
Charisma Modifier to damage.
Combo Artist
Whenever the arcane fist critically hits an opponent, they may
use a bonus action to make another unarmed strike against
the same or another adjacent foe.
Savage
Whenever the arcane fist grabs an opponent, they
immediately do their unarmed damage to them.
Grappler
This arcane fist gains advantage on grab attacks, and is not
restrained in return for success.
Gloryhound
The arcane fist can, as a bonus action, grant himself
advantage on one attack roll, by granting himself
disadvantage on another.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Internal Fortitude
At 9th level, the arcane fists' body is so tempered by magic,
that they receive advantage on all Constitution and Strength
saving throws.
Internal Will
At 17th level, the arcane fists' mind is so attuned to the world
around them that they receive advantage on all Intelligence
and Wisdom saving throws.
Eternal Wellspring
At 20th level, the arcane fist becomes one with magic itself. If
the arcane fist has no MP at the start of their turn, they
regain 4 MP.
Teams
Seperated after a bit of basic training, arcane fists fall into
one of three categories, Speed, Thought and Body. To that
end, the instructors at the first academy of arcane fists began
the tradition of the Team. The created three teams, and are
trained further when they show which is their aptitude.
Team Celeri
Those quick of body have a knack for effects that involve
movement or transmuting their body. They have learned
techniques to further speed themselves, making themselves
near blurrs on the battlefield.
Celerity
At 2nd level, the team celeri member learns the basics of how
to channel the arcane into their body. Whenever they use an
effect from the "Transmutation" school, they also cause their
body to blur out causing any opponent that hits them to roll
1d8 along with the attack. On a roll of 1, the attack
automatically misses regardless of the roll, unless that roll
was a critical hit, in which case, the roll's damage is treated
normally, not critically.
Fleet Foot
At 2nd level, the team celeri member also learns to
permanently augment their bodies with arcane energies.
From now on, they gain the effects of hare's breath
permanently. If they chose it as one of their effects, they may
reselect a different one.

 Supersonic Strike
At 6th level, the team celeri member learns the following
internal magic.
Supersonic Strike
3rd level effect
School: Transmutation
Associated Spell: None
Alternate Names: None
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 Minute
The arcane fist gains an additional iternation of "Extra
Attack" for the duration of this effect. They have advantage on
all attack rolls, dexterity rolls and perception rolls. Attackers
have disadvantage on all attack rolls against the arcane fist.
At the end of this effect, the arcane fist must make a
Constitution Check (That ignores Internal Fortitude), or
suffer 2 levels of exhaustion.
Stance of 1,000 Feathers
This technique allows the arcane fist to leap off the most
small of things, retain their balance on the thinnest, smallest
ledges, and do things thought impossible.
The arcane fist pays 4 MP to activate this effect. While active,
they may make jumps from anywhere, including in the air.
They automatically pass all Dexterity (Balance) checks and
may run across liquids and walls as long as they start and
stop their movement on a solid, horizontal surface. This
ability lasts for up to 10 minutes.
Quiver Dance
At 14th level, the greatest ability of Team Celeri is activated.
The ability to use hyper fast successive strikes against a foe
for greater damage. The arcane fist pays 6 MP to activate this
ability. From then on, their attacks are so fast and blinding,
that resistances only stop 1/4 of the attempted damage, not
half.
In addition, they may dash once per round without using an
action, and if they strike an opponent at the end of that dash,
the attack deals critical damage.
Team Fortis
Arcane fists that epitomize body, are split into team fortis.
They are literal juggernauts on the battlefield, bulldozing past
enemies, and smashing things much harder than mortal skin.
Fortified
Starting at 2nd level, Reduce all damage dealt to the arcane
fist by their Constitution Modifier.
Steamroll
When the arcane fist of 2nd level attacks after moving more
than 10 feet first, a successful melee attack against an
opponent forces that opponent to make a strength saving
throw versus a DC of 8 + proficiency bonus + the arcane fist's
strength modifier or be knocked 5ft back and prone.

At 6th level, the arcane fist learns the following internal
magic.

fail a Charisma Save, they may attempt it again the next
round.
Immovable/Unstoppable
At 14th level, the arcane fist gains a choice. They may either
become "Unstoppable" or "Immovable". They gain the
associated bonus.
Unstoppable: Any creature in the path of an unstoppable
arcane fist's dash action must make a dexterity saving
throw or be tossed out of the unstoppable arcane fist's
way to the nearest save 5ft square. If they cannot move to
a safe square, they take 1d10 + Strength Modifier
bludgeoning damage.
Immoveable: The immovable arcane fist cannot be
forcably moved against their will, and gain advantage to
any roll against effect that would automatically do so if
failed. In addition, they may make up to their Strength
Modifier additional targets equally Immoveable as long as
they remain in contact with the arcane fist.
These effects are only active on conscious arcane fists.
Team Celebri
Members of this team are more apt to use their minds in
battle. Less hit it faster or hit it harder than their other teams,
the prefer to use more subtle meathods that leave their
opponents wondering how they lost.
Strike a Nerve
At 2nd level, the arcane fist learns to use their Charisma Kata of the Undeniable Truth
Modifier to attack and damage instead of their Dexterity. An arcane fist of 10th level learns a secret kata that can

Skitter Strike
School: Transmutation
Associated Spell: None
Alternate Names: None
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 Minute

resistances and treat immunities as normal resistances (They
are not reduced twice) while they use their Charisma
Modifier to attack and damage rolls.
In addition, while this is in effect, they can see and react to
their opponent's movements before the opponent makes
them. Once the arcane fist declares what they are going to do
for the round, the DM tells the arcane fist what the nearest
Charisma Modifier number of opponents is going to do on
their turn, and the arcane fist may use that to react and
chance their action accordingly.
