Helpful Fox Demon (5e Class)

Helpful Fox Demon

A helpful fox demon is a demon who... For whatever reason broke the stereotype followed by normal demons. Freeing themselves from the control of the progenitor demon to live as their own fox person!

Kitsune Origin

Fox Demons are not born naturally. The existence of a fox demon only occurs in the very rare instance of humans who're able to free themselves from the influence of the progenitor demon despite receiving their blood. It's due to this that there aren't many fox demons in the world, if any.

Nap Demon

Beginning at 1st level, you regain your strength through sleeping rather than feasting on humans like other demons. While in combat you can spend your action to take a nap. While napping you're considered unconscious skipping your turns until you choose to wake up at the start of a future turn, and any attack that hits will wake you as well as be counted as a critical hit. Each turn that passes while napping will allow you to use the regeneration feature without spending blood demon points, as well as giving you 1 BDP back. Outside of combat the time you spend napping simply accumulates until you eventually accumulate enough time to be considered a short or long rest. The benefit is that if your awoken between naps you can still accumulate the time needed for a rest of any type.

Sunlight Weakness

Beginning at 1st level, you are now a demon, meaning you can’t be in the sunlight. You take 20 points of radiant damage if you start your turn in the sun or walk into it during your turn. Additionally, you have disadvantage on all attack rolls and ability checks.

Size Alteration

At 1st level, you're able to manipulate the size of your body to become much smaller in order to fit in tight spaces. Under normal circumstances you cannot increase yourself to a size larger than your original size outside of Nine Tailed Fox Form.

Blood Demon Points

Beginning at 1st level, you get Blood Demon Points that you can spend to use special abilities. The Blood Demon Points increase as you level up according to the chart above. You gain all your Blood Demon Points on short or long rest. Some abilities allow you to permanently burn BDP. Blood Demon Point = BDP

While you have a higher BDP total than normal demons, the flip side is that you refuse to devour human flesh to regenerate yourself. Instead you spend BDP in order to regenerate yourself. Should you ever run out of blood demon points, your will immediately fall unconscious in order to regain your expended power.

Should you ever consume a human, you will lose all sense of yourself. Losing all levels in this class as you start over as a level 1 Muzan Demon. In addition to this, any memory you had from your human life, or life as a Fox Demon will be forgotten.

Blood Demon Points attack modifier = Your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

Blood Demon Points save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

Unwavering Willpower

Despite the drastic consequences to consuming humans. You do possess an unwavering resolve to protect them and keep humans safe from harm. Should you be subject to a save that would force you to consume or have the desire to harm or consume a human against your will, you roll the save at advantage. Additionally for 10 BDP you can halve the DC for yourself, suffering no additional effects on a successful save.

Demon Action

At 2nd level, you can use a bonus action to dash, disengage, or hide actions. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Regeneration

- When you reach 2nd level, you can use a bonus action and 3 BDP to regain 1d6+your Charisma modifier hit points. You are immunes to diseases. The dice increases by 1d6 every 2 levels. Starting from 12th level it becomes a d8.

- Fast Healing While below half your maximum hit point total, you gain hit points at the start of your turn equal to your Constitution modifier. If you reach zero hit points and become unconscious, you must finish a long rest to use this ability again.

Night Ones Watch

At 2nd level, your demonic nature manifests stronger. You gain resistance to necrotic damage. Unfortunately, you also become vulnerable to radiant. You lose this vulnerability should you somehow conquer the sun.

Blood Demon Art

At 3rd level, you are a strong enough demon to acquire a Blood Demon Art; a special ability that a demon can obtain and each one is unique. You gain additional features from your Blood Demon Art at 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 14th, and 17th level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, 18th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

At 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 13th level in this class and to four when you reach 18th level in this class.

Unordinary Demon

At 6th level, your existence has become somewhat of an anomaly to both humans and demons alike. Around humans despite being a demon you possess a naturally charming presence. Granting you a bonus to charisma based checks equal to your proficiency bonus. This bonus cannot be used if the character in question despises you, or demons to an extreme degree (like Sanemi for example.) With demons your existence surprises them, giving you an opportunity to captivate on their shock in the middle of combat. The first time you would attack a demon in combat, you gain advantage on the attack roll, or the demon rolls a save from your attacks at disadvantage. As the shock from seeing a demon fighting for humans gives you an opening to strike.

Unbeatable Strength

At 7th level, if you fail a saving throw you can choose to succeed instead. You may do this two times per long rest. You may spend 15 BDP to instead apply this feature to an allied creature within 45 feet of you.

Additionally you can now spend an extra 10 BDP to use your Regeneration feature as a Reaction.

Indominable Will

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 15 BDP at the start of your turn to end one effect on yourself that is causing you to be charmed or frightened. You can also use this ability on an ally for 20 BDP and a bonus action.

Strength of a Lower Rank

At 11th level, you have become powerful enough to unlock your body’s true power. choose 2 of your stats to break the limit. limit of that stat is increased by 2. At 15th level, you can choose 1 more stat to break the limit.

Strength of an Upper Rank

At 15th level, you can force any creature with a challenge rating of 4 or lower to make a Wisdom saving throw. If they succeed they are frightened for two rounds, but no additional effects occur. If they fail they are frightened and immediately try to run away from you until they are at least 150 ft away. If they are lower than that cr, your presence can force them into submission, charming them completely for up to a hour. You can use either one two times per short or long rest. 0.

Additionally, you can use your Regeneration as a free action at the start of each turn.

Demonic Boon

Starting at 20th level, you gain an Epic Boon of your choice.
