The Last One Standing[edit]
In a kingdom of monsters, forgotten by the passage of time, a King whose people were killed by the being that is looking into his eyes at this moment. At that moment, the King sadly, after being stabbed in the back, says, "Everything would have been easier if we had talked to them over a cup of tea... now you know what will happen."
Generating an intense red weapon, like the blood on the hands of that murderer. And the real battle begins.

Once bonded, you can't be disarmed of that weapon unless incapacitated. If it is on the same plane of existence, you can summon that weapon as a free action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your hand. You can have up to two bonded weapons, but only one can be summoned with a bonus action. The weapons count as magical for resistance and immunity purposes, and you can choose for them to deal fire damage instead of their normal type. The weapon can emit a red light in a 5-foot radius (this light is not considered sunlight).

You can only use one technique per round, increasing to 2 techniques per round at level 8, and 3 at level 17.

Tyrannical Monarch[edit]
As a Tyrannical Monarch, your reign is marked by power, dominance, and fear. Your flames are a force of reckoning, burning those who dare to defy you. You are the king whose wrath is a storm of fire and steel, and whose commands are absolute.
Fear of the King (Level 2)[edit]
Your mere presence on the battlefield strikes terror into the hearts of your enemies.
- Aura of Tyranny: You emit an aura of intimidation in a 15-foot radius. Enemies within this aura must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) at the start of their turns. On a failure, they are frightened until the start of their next turn.
- Cruel Command: You gain proficiency in Intimidation. If you already have proficiency, gain expertise (double proficiency bonus) instead. When you make an Intimidation check, you can use your Constitution modifier instead of Charisma.
- Dominating Strike: When you hit a creature with a melee attack while it is frightened, it takes additional fire damage equal to your Wrath of the King die.
- The Consequences Enhancement: Frightened creatures within your aura have their speed reduced to 0 and take fire damage equal to your Constitution modifier at the start of each of their turns.
King's Judgement (Level 6)[edit]
Your strikes carry the weight of a monarch's wrath, punishing those who dare to oppose you.
- Judgement Strike: As an action, choose a creature within 60 feet that you can see. The target must make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + Constitution modifier). On a failure, it takes fire damage equal to half your maximum hit points and is stunned until the end of your next turn. On a success, it takes half damage and is not stunned.
- Intimidating Presence: You can use your bonus action to force a creature within 30 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature is frightened for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns.
- The Consequences Enhancement: You can use Judgement Strike as a bonus action, and Intimidating Presence affects all creatures of your choice within 30 feet.
Monarch's Wrath (Level 10)[edit]
Your fury is a weapon, and those who defy you are burned by your ire.
- Burning Command: When you use a Royal Technique that deals damage, you can add fire damage equal to your Constitution modifier + 1/4 of your maximum hit points.
- Absolute Authority: You can use your action to issue a decree. All creatures of your choice within 30 feet must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed or frightened (your choice) until the end of your next turn. While charmed, creatures must use their actions to obey your commands to the best of their ability.
- Punishing Flames: When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, all enemies within 10 feet of the target take fire damage equal to your Wrath of the King die.
- The Consequences Enhancement: Punishing Flames triggers on any successful attack, and Burning Command's damage is doubled.
Throne of Flames (Level 14)[edit]
Your domain becomes a battlefield, where only the strong survive and the weak are ash.
- Throne of Tyranny: As an action, create a 30-foot radius zone of intense fire and ash for 1 minute. Enemies within this zone must make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + Constitution modifier) at the start of their turns. On a failure, they take fire damage equal to your Wrath of the King die and are restrained by fiery chains.
- Executioner's Call: When you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your attacks to force a creature within your Throne of Tyranny to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it is paralyzed until the start of your next turn.
- Unyielding Flame: While you are within your Throne of Tyranny, your attacks cannot have disadvantage, and frightened or charmed creatures automatically fail saving throws against your abilities.
- The Consequences Enhancement: Enemies that fail the saving throw to resist Throne of Tyranny take double damage, and you gain advantage on all saving throws while within the zone.
King's Execution (Level 18)[edit]
Your ultimate technique is a display of absolute power and ruthless efficiency.
- Executioner's Flame: When you activate The Consequences, choose a number of creatures up to your Constitution modifier within 60 feet. Each creature must make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + Constitution modifier). On a failure, the creature takes fire damage equal to your maximum hit points and is disintegrated if reduced to 0 hit points.
- Fear Incarnate: You gain immunity to the frightened condition. Enemies within 30 feet of you have disadvantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed.
- Royal Decree: As a reaction, when a creature within 60 feet of you makes a saving throw, you can impose disadvantage on the roll. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
- The Consequences Enhancement: Executioner's Flame deals double damage, and Royal Decree can be used without a limit while The Consequences is active.
