Demon Slayer

“	The Demon Slayer Corps. We number in the hundreds. An organization completely unrecognized by the government. Since ancient times, we have existed to hunt down Demons.	”
—Sakonji Urokodaki explaining the idea of the Demon Slayer Corps to Tanjiro Kamado.

Protectors of Humanity

The Demon Slayer Corps is an organization that has existed since ancient times, dedicating its existence to protecting humanity from demons.

As the Demon Slayer Corps isn’t officially recognized by the government, its members are forced to work in secrecy, which means that Demon Slayers cannot openly carry their swords in public. The majority of people are unaware of the existence of demons, and even if Demon Slayers were to reveal the truth about their job, they would be met with skepticism and disbelief from most individuals. Allowing Demon Slayers to openly wield swords would only incite chaos and confusion among the general population. By maintaining a low profile and avoid drawing unnecessary attention, they can carry out their duties covertly and effectively. Nevertheless, whispers of the Demon Slayers have permeated public consciousness.

Creating a Demon Slayer

All of the Hashira together under the moonlight, [1]

When creating a Demon Slayer, think about the reason why you would join the Demon Slayer Corps. Did one of your family members die because of a demon?

Breathing Style

Starting at 1st level, to become a true demon slayer, you had to learn a breathing style from a master or develop one yourself.

You must choose between one of the Breathing Styles available. At 1st level you gain the first 5 forms of your breathing technique, but can only prepare as many as half your level rounded up. At 4th level you unlock the ability to prepare your 6th, 7th and 8th forms, and at 7th level you unlock the remainder of your forms.

Breathing Points

You have a number of breathing points equal to your demon slayer level + your constitution modifier that you can spend when using your breathing styles. Whenever you use a breathing point, it is spent. All expended breathing points come back in a short or long rest.

Some of your Breathing Style features require Saving throws, which are calculated as follows:

Breathing Save DC: 8 + proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier.

Alternate Feature: Breathless Determination

Also at 1st level, some people never get to learn breathing styles either due to a lack of skill, knowledge or physical limitations. However, that does not stop you from trying to become a fearless slayer and joining the slayer corps. You can force yourself to take an additional action and bonus action on your turn. You can use this feature once before needing to take a long rest.

Additionally, at 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, and 13th levels you gain one Body Feat of your choice that you meet the requirements of.

Demon Slayer

Also at 1st level, you have officially completed your slayer training and the Final Selection Exam, making you worthy of gaining some demon slayer equipment!

Unarmored Movement

Your movement speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain demon slayer levels, as shown in the Demon Slayer table. Additionally, you can calculate your jump distance and height using Dexterity instead of Strength. At 9th level, your jump distance and height are doubled.

Unarmored Defense

While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.

Demon Slayer Uniform

You have been granted your own personal Demon Slayer Uniform. On the case of the uniform being damaged, you may request a new one to the new demon slayer corps.

Nichirin Weapon

You have been granted the honour of having a weapon forged from Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand and Scarlet Ore, which can only be found on very high mountains that bathe the ore in sun all year round. The weapon can be any simple or martial weapon, and has the following properties

Demon Slayer Weapon. This weapon deals 1d6 extra damage against Fiends and Undead creatures.
Sun Bathed. This weapon ignores resistances and turns immunity into resistance if used against Fiend and Undead creatures.
Demon Finisher. Reducing a Fiend or Undead to 0 hit points with a Nichirin Weapon makes them vanish into dust, killing them outright.

If your Nichirin Weapon does break, you must find a blacksmith who is capable of creating them to forge a new Nichirin Weapon. The cost of a Nichirin Weapon will be three times the original weapons cost.

Slayer Path

Also at 1st level, you have undertaken a particular path to follow as an aspiring Demon Slayer. Choose between one of the Slayer Paths detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 1st level, and again at 3rd, 6th, 9th, 13th and 17th level.

Fighting Style

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, even if you later get to choose again:

Versatile Fighting

Once per turn you can both attack with a versatile weapon you are wielding and grapple or shove a creature as if you replaced an attack. Such grapple or shove has a +2 to its check.

Heavyweight Fighting

You can use your weight, and the weight of your weapon, to land devastating blows. While you are wielding a heavy melee weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls and you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks to Shove.

Lightfoot Fighter

You're very quick on your feet, being very refined with your weapons. While wielding a light melee weapon, you gain a +10 to your walking speed and do not take opportunity attacks from the last creature you attacked on your turn as long as it was made with a light weapon.

Dual Wielding

When you take the Attack action while two-weapon fighting, you can make the single bonus attack with your off-hand weapon as part of your Attack action, instead of your bonus action, adding your ability modifier to the damage of this attack.

Protector

When a creature you can see hits you, or a target within 5 feet, with a melee attack, you can use a reaction to add your proficiency bonus to the target's Armor Class against that attack. You must be wielding a shield or a melee weapon.

Blind Warrior

You have blindsight with a range in feet equal to 5 times your proficiency bonus. In that range, you can see invisible targets and anything that isn't behind total cover or hidden from you.

Your vision is as sharp as an eagle. You have advantage in any Wisdom (Perception) checks when it is related to sight. Once per turn as a free action, you can target a creature within your sight range to read their movements. Until the beginning of your next turn, their first attack against you will be made with disadvantage.

At 8th level - You can use a bonus action to catch your breath, gaining Breathing Points equal to your proficiency bonus. This can be used a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier.

Additionally, your walking speed increases by 30 feet and you gain resistance to Poison Damage.

At 14th level - As a bonus action, you can spend a number of Breathing Points up to half of your Demon Slayer level to grant yourself temporary hit points equal to 4 times that amount. This effect stacks, but these temporary hit points cannot go above your demon slayer level added twice. Additionally:

• You now add half your proficiency bonus rounded down to your armor class.
• Your Strength, Dexterity and Constitution scores increase by 2, including their maximums.

At 19th level - As a bonus action, you may increase the DC, attack bonus, and damage dice of the next breathing form you use by 1 for 1 Breathing Points

At 7th level, from experiencing your comrades dying in front of you so many times, you have hardened your heart on your fight against the demons. You now have advantage on saving throws against the frightened condition.

At 12th level, you now have immunity against the frightened condition.

• Evasion - Dexterity
• Endurance - Constitution
• Discernment - Intelligence
• Intuition - Wisdom

When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a saving throw of the chosen ability to only take half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. At 20th level, you can choose one additional saving throw.

Body of Steel

At 10th level, you have endured the harshest of situations that has made you grow as a slayer, this newfound endurance made you not require as much rest as the ordinary humans. You gain the benefits of a long rest after only 4 hours as opposed to requiring 8.

Additionally, once per short rest when you would fall bellow 0 hit points but not killed outright, you may fall to 1 hit point instead.

Nichirin Expertise

At 10th level, you gain +2 to hit and damage rolls with 3 types of nichirin weapons, as well as increasing their damage die by 1. This ability replaces Nichirin Weaponry from 3rd level and is replaced by Nichirin Mastery at 16th level

Alternate Feature: Efficient Breathing

At 18th level, through great training and refinement over your breathing style, you have become a more efficient Demon Slayer. All of your breathing style forms costs are reduced by 3, to a minimum of 1.

You must choose this feature if you haven't chosen Hashira Training as your 15th level feature or haven't chosen Breathless Determination as your 1st level feature.

Pinnacle of The Living

Finally upon reaching 20th level, you have reached the absolute limits of a human body and more than capable of using it to the fullest. When you roll an ability check using either Strength, Dexterity or your Constitution scores and you roll lower than the score, you may instead treat the roll as if you had roll a number equal to the ability score. You may also use this feature on Strength, Dexterity or your Constitution however it can only be done once per turn.

Whenever you roll less than 10 on an attack roll which uses either Strength, Dexterity or Constitution, you can reroll it. You must keep the second result, even if it was lower than 10 or the original attack roll.

Breathing Styles

Water Breathing

The Water Hashira, [2]

Water Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics water, specifically the flow, flexibility and adaptability of the liquid and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities.

Water Flow

You must know when to act and when to think, life has become as flexible as the water itself.

Flexibility. You will gain proficiency in the Acrobatics skill, or expertise in case you're already proficient.
Water Flows Everywhere. Like water, you will keep flowing no matter the situation. You are not affected by non-magical difficult terrain.
Adaptive Current. You gain +10 speed and you gain swimming speed equal to your normal speed, and +1 AC after performing a breathing technique until the start of your next turn.
Follow the Flow. after using a breathing form, you may expend one breathing point to make an extra attack, increased to two breathing points expended for two extra attacks at 13th level.

First Form: Water Surface Slash

You release a singular, horizontal slash aiming to decapitate your target. As an action for 1 breathing point, you make one nichirin attack roll. On a hit they take your nichirin damage die + 1d8 cold damage. On hit, add your proficiency bonus to your AC until the start of your next turn.

Second Form: Water Wheel

You leap forward into the air and perform a front flip, releasing a singular vertical slash in a circular motion. As an action for 2 breathing points, you jump in a 10ft. line forcing all creatures on the line to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take your weapon damage + 3d8 cold damage. On a success, they take half as much damage. You land 5ft. away from the end of the line. If this attack only has one target and they fail the saving throw you may roll on the limb table excluding the head or neck.

After succeeding a dexterity saving throw in which the attacking creature was in range at any point of it, you may perform water wheel as a reaction on that creature costing 3 breathing points.

Third Form: Flowing Dance

You swing and bend your blade in a winding motion along with your body and ‘dance’ in a flowing pattern, slicing everything in its path. As an action for 5 breathing points, you may use your remaining movement. Any creature(s) within 5 feet of you at any point in this movement can be targeted with an attack, you may only make up to a maximum of 5 attacks. While moving with this ability, you are immune to opportunity attacks. When forced to make a Dexterity saving throw, you may as a reaction for 4 breathing points roll with advantage. On a success, you may move out of the range of the attack as long as it's within your speed.

Fourth Form: Striking Tide

You perform a multitude of slashes in a flowing fashion to release multiple consecutive slashes. As an action or reaction for 5 breathing points you make two nichirin attack rolls against a creature within range of you, on each hit you deal your nichirin damage +2d10 cold damage and the creature must make a constitution saving throw. On a failure, roll on the limb table against the creature. If used as a reaction when an enemy has failed an attack roll on you within your range you may make a single striking tide attack for +2d6 damage instead.

Fifth Form: Blessed Rain After the Drought

You change the grip on your sword and decapitate your opponent in a single flowing strike that causes little to no pain. It is a “sword strike of kindness” that is used when the enemy willingly surrenders. As an action for 6 breathing points, you make a nichirin weapon attack against a creature within 5ft. of you. For the attack, the critical strike threshold is increased to a natural 18 and above, and deals direct damage to the creature’s neck equal to double your strength bonus on a crit, or normal nichirin damage otherwise. This form doesn’t hurt despite dealing massive damage, and will immediately reduce a creature to 0 hit points if they have surrendered.

Sixth Form: Whirlpool

You twist your body, using your blade to perform a fierce whirling motion which generates a whirlpool of air to shred apart anything caught within its current like a giant sharp blade. As a reaction to you or a creature within 5 ft of you would take damage for 6 breathing points, you will force every hostile creature in a 10ft. circle around yourself to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure they take your weapon’s damage + 5d8 cold damage and are pushed 10ft. away from you, reducing damage by half. On a success, they take half as much damage and are not pushed. This breathing form has its range and damage doubled if performed underwater.

Seventh Form: Drop Ripple Thrust

Known as one of the fastest water-breathing forms, you perform a precise, fast and accurate thrust with your blade. As an action for 4 breathing points, you make an attack roll + your proficiency bonus against a creature within 5ft. of you. On a hit, the attack counts as a critical; if you roll a natural 20 you may deal triple damage instead and the target will be knocked prone. If used as a reaction to an attack that is not a saving throw, you may make a contesting attack roll. On a success, you will take no damage. On a failure, you will take full damage. Damage from this form is piercing damage.

Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin

You attack from above, slamming into a large area with one attack that splashes outwards to catch all enemies nearby in its radius. As an action for 7 breathing points, Creatures in 10 ft cone make strength saving throw on failure they take nichirin damage + 10d8 cold damage and are knocked prone, on success they take half and are not knocked prone. If this move is used against a prone enemy and they fail the save you may roll the limb table. If used whilst falling this form does an additional 1d8 damage per 5 ft fallen(Max 15d8) and you only receive half fall damage, If used in tandem with ninth form you instead take no fall damage.

Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow, Turbulent

You change your footwork in a way that minimizes the landing time and surface needed when landing, allowing you to move without limits. As an action for 7 breathing points, you may use your bonus action to dash and you may ignore even magically difficult terrain. In addition, you will be able to walk vertically as well. While this form is active, you will not provoke opportunities of attacks. You may add half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to dexterity saving throws. Lasts for 6 rounds.

Tenth Form: Constant Flux

You charge towards the target while performing a continuous flowing attack with your blade which increases in strength and speed over time using your momentum. As an action for 12 breathing points, you may move up to your speed in a straight line without provoking opportunity attacks, every 10 feet moved you gain 1 charge to a maximum of 5 charges. Every time you pass by 10ft of a creature you may use 1 charge to roll an on that creature. On hit they take your nichirin +7d6 limited to one attack against each creature. When you finish the movement within 5 feet of the target, you may use all charges and make a single attack at advantage. For every charge you expend, add +1 to hit. If you expend 5 charges, the attacks critical range is a natural 18. Each charge deals 7d6 damage.

Thunder Breathing

A Thunder Breathing slayer preparing to make a powerfull breathing attack, [3]

Thunder Breathing is a Breathing Style that mimics lightning, specifically swift strikes and movements akin to lightning ripping through the sky, and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities.

Enhanced Speed. You'll gain +5 ft. of movement speed when you're not wearing armour. This increases to 10 at 3rd level, 15 at 6th level, 20 at 9th level, 25 at 12th level, 30 at 15th level and 35 at 18th level.

Powerful Legs. Thunder breathing heavily relies on the user’s leg strength, and as such you’ve trained them a lot. You are not affected by non-magical difficult terrain and your base jump distance and height is increased, respectively, by a number of feet equal to your Dexterity modifier and a number of feet equal to half your Dexterity modifier (rounded down).

Lightning Strike. When you land on a solid surface after falling 30 ft or more, you may make a DC 20 Acrobatics check. On a success, you don't take fall damage and can use a reaction to perform one of your forms that would normally be an action. You can only do this once per round.

Fast as Lightning. You can take the dash action as a bonus action.

First Form: Thunderclap and Flash

You unsheath your katana and dash forward at blinding speeds to decapitate your opponent faster than they can react, before sheathing it back. As an action for 4 breathing points, whilst your sword is sheathed, you rush towards a creature within your movement speed and make a melee weapon attack against them. On a hit, you deal your weapon's damage + Xd8 lightning damage, with X being your proficiency bonus. When you use this form, before anything else the target creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they need to spend two reactions to react to the attack.

Crack of Thunder

While this ability is considered prepared, when using a form, for one 1 breathing point you may choose any number of creatures within 10 feet of your starting position to take Xd8 lightning damage, with X being half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) and make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, are knocked back 5 feet and knocked prone. On a success they are not knocked prone.

Second Form: Rice Spirit

You make five arched slashes in quick succession. As an action for 6 breathing points. You make 5 weapon attack rolls allocated between any creatures within 10ft. Each dealing your nichirin weapon damage + Xd4 lightning damage, with X being your proficiency bonus. This form can also be used as a reaction to being targeted by a melee attack, ranged attack or area saving throw to reduce damage from it within a 10 ft circle centred on you by your weapon’s damage +Xd10, with X being your proficiency bonus added twice. This reduction does not work against psychic and thunder damage.

Encompassing Slash

You perform a 360° degree slash around yourself. Once per turn as part of making a melee weapon attack with a weapon that deals slashing damage, you can spend 3 breathing points to make it target all creatures in a 5 ft. radius centered on you. This attack will deal an additional 1d8 lightning damage.

Third Form: Thunder Swarm

You surround the enemy with waves of arched lightning and attack them from all directions. As an action for 7 breathing points, you can target a creature you can see within your reach as the center of a 15 ft radius area within which you make an amount of melee weapon attacks equal to your Dexterity modifier that will target all creatures that you choose inside the area at the same time. On a hit, you deal the damage of your weapon + Xd6, with X being your proficiency bonus. During this form, you move so fast you leave after images behind you throughout the area. If you are targeted by an attack before the end of this form, you can switch places with one of these after images, causing the attack to miss. You can only do this once per usage of this form. After performing this form you reappear anywhere within the circle.

Lightning Burst

Unsheathing your blade, you perform 3 arching horizontal slashes in quick succession. As an action for 4 breathing points, you make three melee weapon attacks against creatures in your reach. Each attack also targets any creatures that you choose in a 5 ft. square adjacent to the original target. These attacks will deal an additional 1d8 lightning damage.

Fourth Form: Distant Thunder

As an action for 6 breathing points you may move in a straight line towards a creature and make a melee weapon attack against them, dealing your weapon’s damage + Xd8 lightning damage on a hit, with X being your proficiency bonus. On a hit or a miss, you can do it again against another creature. You can do this to a number of creatures equal to your Dexterity modifier + half your proficiency bonus (rounded down). All of the movement used in this form must be only up to your movement speed, and movement from this form does not generate opportunity attacks. Additionally, creatures that you get within 5 ft. of while moving from creature to creature and are not targeted by the attacks must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking Xd4 lightning damage on a failure, with X being your proficiency bonus, or nothing on a success.

Fifth Form: Heat Lightning

You unleash a long-ranged upward sword slash accompanied by lightning. As an action for 5 breathing points, you make a melee weapon attack roll against one creature. You have advantage if the creature is above you. On a hit, it deals your weapon’s damage + Xd10 lightning damage, with X being your proficiency bonus + half your Dexterity modifier (rounded down). Additionally on a hit, the creature is knocked prone.

Sixth Form: Rumble and Flash

You release a series of powerful lightning attacks that strike your opponent like a storm of thunderbolts. As an action for 12 breathing points, you choose a target within (your Dexterity modifier times 10) feet of you and dash towards them, making up to (half your Dexterity modifier rounded down + your proficiency bonus) melee weapon attacks against them. On a hit, you deal an extra 2d6 lightning damage. For every 2 attacks you hit with this form, you gain a +1 to hit with the next ones. You can use this form while mid air.

Seventh Form: Honoikazuchi no Kami

You dash forward at blinding speeds and unleash a singular forward slash at a low stance, which is seemingly accompanied by a yellow Japanese dragon shaped like a lightning bolt. As an action for 15 breathing points you may draw a 5 ft wide line between you and a target creature within your movement speed. Creatures in that line need to make a Dexterity saving throw, taking your weapon's damage + Xd6 lightning damage on a failure, with X being your proficiency bonus, or half as much on a success. After that, make an attack roll against the targeted creature, adding a +1 bonus to hit for every 10 feet travelled (Max +5). On a hit, this attack’s damage is considered critical and deals your weapon damage and an additional 1d12 for every 20 feet travelled in lightning damage. Upon using this form, before anything else any creatures targeted by either the saving throw or the attack roll need to make a dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they need to spend two reactions to react to this form.

Beast Breathing

The creator of the beast breathing style, [4]
