 Deathsmith
midst a field of fallen soldiers,

A
a figure kneels, his hands firmly pressing a
sword deep into the chest of a soldier. A
faint glow emanates from his fingers as he
twists the blade. As the fallen soldier
gasps his last breath, a faint sliver of his
soul releases from his body which is deftly
captured by the figure’s trained hand.
As a horde of orcs relentlessly advances, a warrior in
dark, heavy armor takes up his weapon and prepares to
face them head-on. With each fallen enemy, the warrior
captures their souls, which he then skillfully reforges
into a powerful wave of necrotic energy that decimates
the approaching horde.
As she stands at the entrance to a long-forgotten
tomb, a woman with piercing blue eyes begins forging
her harvested souls. Only a moment later, a small
gateway leading into the tomb opens, revealing the
treasures within.
A Deathsmith’s Origins:
Whatever their origin and beliefs, deathsmiths are
united by their ability to manipulate the souls of the
dead to their advantage. Whether trained in secret by a
reclusive order, or having discovered their unique
abilities through a harrowing experience with death, a
deathsmith’s power is a formidable force. It is a source
of dark magic that can transform a skilled warrior into a
feared harbinger of death.
Individuals who frequently encounter death become
attuned to its natural presence in the world. When a
creature dies, it leaves behind a sliver of its soul, which
a deathsmith manipulates through a process called
forging.
Moral Compass
While most deathsmiths view death as a natural part of
life, their moral compasses vary when it comes to the
process of forging, and killing to claim the souls they
forge. Some believe that forging a creature’s soul gives
the creature one last purpose before returning to nature,
while others view forging as a means to permanently
destroy the creature’s soul. Some deathsmiths of a
more religious inclination might believe that forging
absolves sin or is a form of divine punishment. Most
deathsmiths tend towards a neutral or evil alignment.
Quick Build
You can make a deathsmith quickly by following these
suggestions. First, put your highest ability score in Wisdom,
followed by Dexterity. Second, choose the soldier
background (or haunted one from Curse of Strahd).
Creating a Deathsmith
As you create your deathsmith character, consider the
character’s relationship and morals towards death. How
many times have you met death? How did your
encounters with death form your ideals and goals? Do
you wield the souls of the dead as a means to achieve
greater power, or is it simply a means to an end? How
do you justify using your powers, knowing what they
come from?
What did you do in your previous life? Were you a
soldier in a battle gone terribly wrong? Maybe you were
working in a hospice and one of the patients said
something on their deathbed that changed your
perspective of death. Did the god of death show
themself to you in a vision? Perhaps you witnessed the
tragic death of someone in your family or a mentor, and
the trauma fundamentally changed your life.
Multiclassing with the Deathsmith
If your campaign uses the optional multiclassing rules,
here’s what you should keep in mind when considering
multiclassing with the Deathsmith class.
Ability Score Requirement. To take a level as a Deathsmith
or to add Deathsmith levels to your existing character, you
must have a Wisdom score of at least 13.
Proficiencies. When you take your first level in the
Deathsmith class, you gain the following proficiencies if you
didn’t start as a Deathsmith: light armor, medium armor and
rapier.
Spellcasting. If you have access to the spellcasting feature
from another class, you can use your Deathsmith spell slots
to cast the spells you gained through that feature. Similarly,
you can use the spell slots gained from that class to cast the
spells you know from the Deathsmith class.

changes how you interact with the world around you. As
a bonus action, you can enter the Unwrought form,
which lasts for one minute. While Unwrought, you know

Spell Slots
The Deathsmith table shows how many spell slots you
have to cast your deathsmith 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.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Heroism
and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available,
you can cast Heroism using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the
deathsmith spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Deathsmith table
shows when you learn more deathsmith spells of your
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 deathsmith spells you know and
replace it with another spell from the deathsmith spell
list, which also must be of a level for which you have
spell slots.

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your deathsmith
spells. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to
your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your

roll with one.

Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Wisdom modifier

damage of the second attack.

class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd
level and again at 7th, 11th, and 15th level.

to harvest your souls. You can use your reaction

bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a
long rest. When you finish a long rest, any unused souls

killed it.

are Unwrought, you have advantage on Wisdom saving
throws.

Protective Spectral Orb. You gain the ability to

The orb will then fly to that spot, imploding on itself as it
arrives, forcing each creature within 20 feet of it to
make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save
DC, dealing force damage equal to your soul dice x 2 on
a failed save or half as much damage on a successful
one. The orb disappears after imploding.

By 15th level, you’ve learned to disrupt the souls of
those who oppose you, controlling their very being.
As an action while you are Unwrought, you choose a

throw against your spell save DC, or forgo the attack. A

minute becomes under your control, as if under the
effect of the Geas spell cast at 5th level.

your Wisdom modifier, regaining all expended uses
when you finish a long rest.

damage on a successful saving throw.
