Dovahkiin (5e Class)

Dovahkiin

You Are Dovahkiin

A cloaked figure stands atop a mountain, wielding a mighty battle axe and donning a set of fur-lined plate armor, staring deep into the wyvern-like beast's soul, with what seems to be adrenaline. After but a few moments, the beast speaks in an ancient and powerful tongue. The man roars a battle cry, charging the beast. After a few minutes of exchanging blows, the man shouts three words. "Fus Ro Dah!" he bellows, as the air distorted and a wave of force both stuns and pushes the mighty beast back.

A tabaxi child sneaks through the shadows, dagger in hand, as an unsuspecting guard of a corrupt noble family stands guard, oblivious to the stealthy kitten's presence. The cat proceeds to try and slit the throat of the guard, but fails to do so. The guard nimbly reaches for their sword, and is disarmed from said sword with three ancient words of power. "Zun, Haal Viik," the cat bellows, before she slinks back to the shadows.

An elven woman, wearing blue robes that glimmer with arcane energy and leather armor underneath, stares down the demonic creature known as the daedra, a malachite longsword in one hand, and a fire ball in the other. She curses the daedra, before throwing the fire ball. The fire ball narrowly misses, but the woman keeps pressuring the demon. After a long five minutes of her blade and spells doing nothing to hurt the daedra, the woman bellows to the sky in an ancient and forgotten tongue. "O-Dah-Viing" she cries, as distant roars could be heard. Moments later, a winged beast lands beside the elf, and greets the woman. "Drem Yol Lok" it says, and they prepare for battle.

These are the Dovahkiin, more commonly referred to as Dragonborn, not to be mistaken for the Dragonborn race, mortal beings with the blood and soul of a dragon, said to fight off Alduin or any other threat. They are not necessarily specialized at the arts of combat, spellcasting, or thievery, but most hope to hone their skills to fight off whatever threat fate has birthed them for. While many argue that they are a race of half dragons, the truth is that their purpose of being brought into this world is to combat the Dovah - Dragons - and stop any threat that may be opposing this world.

When making a Dovahkiin, you must ask yourself some questions. How did my character come to realize that they were Dovahkiin? How did it effect their lives? Did they turn to the more heroic deeds that most Dovahkiin were known for, or did they become a criminal, murderer, or outlaw? Did they hone their magical prowess, train to become the greatest warrior, or turn to thievery or assassination? Once these questions are answered, and any other questions that would result in the story of how your character came to be Dovahkiin, you can fully begin to make your character

Way of the Voice

As a Dovahkiin, you have the innate ability to understand the dragon tongue, and focus their power into what is known as a Thu'um, or shout.

Thu'um Tiers

Each shout has 3 tiers of power. The 1st tier when acted upon counts as a bonus action. The 2nd tier when acted upon counts as an action. And the 3rd tier counts as an action and prevents any movement on that turn. If you use your Thu'um, it goes on cooldown and you cannot use it again for a number of rounds equal to the tier utilized.

• Your shout save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
• Shout attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Fus Ro Dah, Force Balance Push, Unrelenting Force

At 1st level, you know the Thu'um, Unrelenting Force, otherwise known as Fus Ro Dah. At 1st tier, this tier affects a 15ft. cone, creatures and objects not being worn or carried of medium size or smaller affected by this must roll a Strength saving throw against your shout save DC or have disadvantage on attack rolls as well as Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on sight or hearing until the start of your next turn, and are pushed back 5 feet. Creatures of large size or larger only suffer from the disadvantages. At 2nd tier, this tier affects a 30-foot line that is 10 feet wide, creatures and objects not being worn or carried of medium size or smaller affected by this must roll a Strength saving throw against your shout save DC or have disadvantage on attack rolls as well as Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on sight or hearing until the start of your next turn, and are pushed back 10 feet. Creatures of large size or larger only suffer from the disadvantages. And at 3rd tier, this tier affects a 60-foot line that is 10 feet wide, creatures and objects not being worn or carried of large size or smaller affected by this must roll a Strength saving throw against your shout save DC or have disadvantage on attack rolls as well as Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on sight or hearing until the start of your next turn, are pushed back 20 feet and knocked prone.

Blessing of Akatosh

Starting at 2nd level, the dragon god himself, Akatosh, blesses you with the knowledge of two new Thu'ums. You choose which Thu'ums you wish to dedicate this new found knowledge to. You learn two new Thu'ums at 5th, 10th, and 15th levels.

Blessing of Akatosh - Dragon Souls.

As dragon born, you can consume the souls of dragons to learn a new Thu'ums and to hone your voice. When you slay a dragon, you absorb its soul. This include any creature with the creature type "dragon" that is CR 1 or higher. This also prevents the dragon from being brought back from the dead by any means other than a wish. When you absorb the soul, you gain the ability to use that dragons knowledge to learn another Thu'um. You may only learn a number of shouts this way equal to you proficiency bonus.

Enchantments

At 6th level, you have learned to channel arcane energies into your gear. There are however, requirements to do so.

[1]

Soul Gems

Soul Gems are arcane gems that have the capability to capture the souls of the dead, which can be later used in enchanting and charging your weapons. There are 5 levels of soul gems, each depicting what types of souls they have the capacity to capture. These levels are Petty, Lesser, Common, Greater, Grand, and Black.

• Petty soul gems are able to capture the souls of non-humanoid creatures with a CR of 1/4 or lower.
• Lesser soul gems are able to capture the souls of non-humanoid creatures with a CR of 1 or lower.
• Common soul gems are able to capture the souls of non-humanoid creatures with a CR of 4 or lower.
• Greater soul gems are able to capture the souls of non humanoid creatures with a CR of 16 or lower.
• Grand soul gems can capture the souls of non-humanoid creatures with a CR of 30 or lower.
• Black soul gems are able to capture the souls of any creature with a CR of 30 or lower, including humanoids.

Soul Types

• Petty souls are souls of any non-humanoid creature with a CR of 1/4 or lower.
• Lesser souls are souls of any non-humanoid creature with a CR of 1/2 to 1.
• Common souls are souls of any non-humanoid creature with a CR of 2 to 4.
• Greater souls are souls of any non-humanoid creature with a CR of 5 to 16.
• Grand souls are souls of any non-humanoid creature with a CR of 17 to 30.
• Black souls are souls of any humanoid creature with a CR of 17 to 30.

Creating and buying of Souls Gems

You can create Soul Gems, each one has a creation time or if you have gold, you may try your luck with buying one.

• Petty Soul Gems can be created after a short rest. Can buy for 10 gold at common magic shop venders, filled with petty soul, half price if not.
• Lesser Soul Gems can be created after a long rest. Can buy for 50 gold at common magic shop venders, filled with lesser soul, half price if not.
• Common Soul Gems can be created after a week of work. Can buy for 100 gold at common magic shop venders, filled with common soul, half price if not.
• Greater Soul Gems can be created after a month of work. Can buy for 1000 gold rarely at common magic shop venders, unfilled.
• Grand can be created after one year of work. Can buy for 10000 gold at magic shop venders of great towns and cities, unfilled.
• Black Soul Gems can be created after one year of work. Can buy for 20000 gold at shady magic shop venders of great towns and cities, unfilled.

Note: normally only evil-aligned characters use a Black Soul Gem.

There are many other ways to acquire Souls Gems, some examples of earning a Soul Gem are killing wizards, magically affiliated enemies, buying them from magic shops and court wizards, mining veins of geode or found as random loot and containers.

Charges and Recharging of Magic Gear

Enchanted gear in this manner only retains its magic for so long, and thus must have a constant supply of souls to utilize. Recharging a gear using a soul in a soul gem on your person is an bonus action.

• Petty soul enchanted gear have 3 charges before needing to be recharged, but only provide 1 charge when recharging.
• Lesser soul enchanted gear to have 5 charges before needing to be recharged, but only provide 2 charges when recharging.
• Common soul enchanted gear have 6 charges before needing to be recharged, but only provide 3 charges when recharging.
• Greater soul enchanted gear to have 7 charges before needing to be recharged, and provide 6 charges when recharging your equipment.
• Grand souls enchant gear to have 12 charges before needing to be recharged, and provide 12 charges when recharging your equipment.
• Black souls enchant gear to have 24 charges before needing to be recharged, but only provide 12 charges when recharging your equipment.

Enchanted equipment uses up charges when the enchantment is utilized. An example would be that, if you had a weapon that dealt additional fire damage on hit, then every successful hit would consume a charge, if you have a armor that gave +3 AC, when you are attacked the item loses a charge. Once a piece of equipment has used up all of its charges, it no longer gains the benefits from said enchantments until the equipment is recharged.

When a soul gem is used to charge your equipment, the soul gem is destroyed, and the soul is consumed.

Harvesting Souls

When you kill a creature, in order to harvest their soul, you must use your reaction to soul trap their souls into a soul gem. Doing so will cause the gem to glow in a purple color, identifying that the soul has been captured. However, if the soul is too large for the soul gem, it will begin to glow, but will then shatter and be worthless.

Enchanting, Disenchanting and Attunement

In order to enchant your gear, you must have either purchased a tome on the sought after enchantment, or disenchanted an already enchanted weapon. Reading a tome on an enchantment takes 4 hours how disenchanting takes 1 hour. When disenchanting already enchanted equipment, the equipment is destroyed, and then the enchantment is transferred over to the equipment you're enchanting at the end of the enchanting process.

You can only Enchant none-magical items or magic items created by this feature. During the enchanting process you may disenchant multiple items or use multiple tomes to enchant an item using a single soul gem as per normal, stacking and combining the effects of all the enchantments added to it. Enchantments on multi-enchanted items count as a single enchantment know as a "Multi-enchantment". If a enchantment is later added to a already enchanted item made by this feature, the amount of charges on the now new multi-enchanted item is equal to the lowest soul used -1 per each item destroyed in any enchanting process done on the item. If the total max charges would reach 0, then all items use in the enchanting process are destroy and you take 6d6 unavoidable psychic damage.

If you were move this new multi-enchantment via disenchanting to a new item, no matter what soul gem you use to move it, its total charges stays the same. You can only use Multi-enchanted items to enchant non-magical items.

Example: If you enchant a sword with a enchantment from the a +1 dagger using a grand soul (meaning the item would have 12 charges) then the next day enchant it with +3 enchantment from an item using a petty soul, the new +4 multi-enchanted item would now only have 1 charge now. Then you decide to move the Multi-enchantment to a bow with a black soul gem, The new Multi-enchanted bow would still only have 1 charge.

Enchantments that have charges that recharges instead have their charge maximum changed based on the soul use (just like every other enchantment) and lose their normal recharge abilities, now following the "Charges and Recharging of Magic Gear" rules of this class feature.

Item enchantments that have charges that never come back, keep the charge total it has left separate no matter what item the enchantment is moved to or stacked with. These changes can not be regained per normal.

Multi-Enchanted Items require attunement to use their effects.

Note: artifacts usually have specific ways of being destroyed, so they will not be destroyed in this way.
