Dark Initiation

Starting at 1st level, your body changes from the influence of dark powers. Your character no longer needs to breathe or sleep.

You can add your Charisma modifier to any Intelligence check related to Black magic and Dark gods.

Weapon Infusion

Beginning at 1st level, when you finish a long rest, you can choose one weapon and infuse it with part of your soul until you break the infusion. This weapon is considered magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances, and while you are attacking with it, you may use your Charisma instead of Strength for attack and damage rolls. If you infuse to weapon after already infusing, the previous item loses it's infusion, the infusion on the first weapon immediately breaks. Infused weapons deal necrotic damage instead of their previous type of damage.

Fighting Style

Starting at 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once. You can choose an additional fighting style at 7th level and 11th level.

Blind Fighting. You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.

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.

Interception. When a creature you can see hits a target, other than you, within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.

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 impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

Shadow Fighter. When you deal damage with a weapon while in dim light or darkness you deal additional necrotic damage equal to your charisma modifier.

Spellcasting

When you reach 2nd level, you gain the ability to cast spells, drawing from dark powers within. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the warlock spell list.

Cantrips

You learn two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list or from the school of necromancy. You learn an additional cantrip at 8th and at 11th level.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Apocalypse Knight table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. To cast one of your Apocalypse 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 Apocalypse Knight spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the warlock spell list or from the school of necromancy. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your Apocalypse 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 Apocalypse Knight, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma 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 hellish rebuke, 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 Apocalypse Knight spells requires time spent in drawing out incantations from the darkness within: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Apocalypse Knight spells, since their power derives from the strength of your conviction. 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 Apocalypse 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 your infused weapons as a spellcasting focus for your Apocalypse Knight spells.

Soul Catalyst

Beginning at 2nd level, you gain a pool of hit points that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can give a total number of temporary hit points equal to twice your Apocalypse Knight level. Temporary hitpoints you gain can be stacked from all sources, the limit for this stack increases by 5x times your level.

As an action, you can expend 2 temporary hit points to touch a creature and draw power from the pool to grant a number of temporary hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.

As part of a successful attack you can expend 4 temporary hit points to deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage on that attack.

Whenever a creature is reduced to 0 hit points within 30 ft. of you, you can expend your reaction and grasp part of its soul, fueling your Soul Catalyst. If you do so, you refuel your pool by a number of temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus. You can refuel your pool, a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier, Regaining the ability to do so on a long rest.
