Despaired Foes[edit]
As you grow in your studies and practices and unmistakable mark takes hold on you. Wherever you go, whoever you meet, you always feel a cold presence near you. An eternal reminder of what awaits you on this path should you fail...Death.
At 6th level you can summon an invisible platform you can manipulate to your will. You can choose to turn it into the following forms as a bonus action or reaction:
- Force Field: You mold the platform into a semi-shield shape granting two thirds cover
- Platform: You can keep this form of raw force as a platform able to be stood on and holds a weight of 400lbs
- Melee Weapon You can mold this form into a rough shape of a weapon, it deals all its damage as bludgeoning depending on the type of weapon you choose
Any of these choices have limitations such as you may move this at a speed of 20ft and it is immune to all damage except the Disintegrate spell or Wish, the form cannot leave 70ft of you or it dispels, and if used more than your proficiency bonus x2 then you take 1 point of exhaustion.
Rectifying Judgement[edit]
At 10th level your judgement itself is a force of nature. You gain advantage on any Charisma (Intimidation) check and Wisdom (Insight) checks. In addition to this your speed increases by 15ft as you feel a near constant propulsion whenever you need to move, however the source is never clear and others cannot see or feel it.
Death of Wills[edit]
At 14th level your form gets another transformation, you can now turn it into a dome similar to wall of force and the range increases to 100ft.
You are immune to Force damage
Crackling Like Thunder[edit]
At 18th level you not only are now immune to thunder damage but can propel yourself or others to safety. A number of times equal to your intelligence modifier per day you can push, pull, lift, or drop a target within range. When you try to move an unwilling creature they must make a dexterity saving throw or be moved up to 60ft in any direction you choose. Should the target be an object it automatically fails the saving throw and is moved the distance as long as it does not exceed 10ft in any dimension or weight more than 1,000lbs.
