You can spend your fury in fury features. You gain a fury die. Whenever an ability require you to roll a fury die, you roll this die. Its size is equal to your base Holy Weapon Damage, which increases as you gain levels in this class as shown on the Holy Weapon User table.

Whenever you spend fury on any of your fury features, you cause additional damage on your next attack made until the end of your turn equal to a roll of your fury die.

You start by knowing three fury features: Toughened Hide, Behemoth's Might and Devastation.

• Toughened Hide. When you take damage, you can spend any amount of fury, without spending any action, to reduce the damage taken by an amount equal to 1 fury die per fury point spent. Damage reduced by this feature is recorded as damage taken for the purposes of gaining fury points.

Holy Brutality

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your brutality to strike with extreme might. You gain the benefits described below.

Brutal Strike

Once in each of your turns, if you have at least 1 fury when you hit a creature with an attack using Strength, you deal additional damage equal to a roll of your fury die.

This additional damage die is equal to your current die, not your maximum amount. This means that if you have used a brutality that reduces the size of your die, this affects the size of the die used on the brutal strike.

Brutalities

You can also use your fury die to perform your brutality features also called brutalities. When you do so, the fury die reduces in one size category or more (from a d6 to a d4 for example). If your brutality die is a d4 when you use a brutality feature, you can't use your brutality again until you finish a long rest.

Brutality DC

Some of your brutality features require a saving throw to resist its effects. The save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier.

Ongoing Effects

Some of your brutalities are ongoing effects. This means that you can't have two of these brutalities active at the same time, unless otherwise stated. As a general rule, if the brutality has a duration of more than a round, it is an ongoing effect.

While under an ongoing effect you can't cast spells nor concentrate on spells.

Once you use your Brutality Replenishment once, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

• When you are reduced to an amount of hit points equal to half your maximum or lower, you can choose to gain a number of fury points up to your maximum. You can't use this ability again until you finish a long rest.

• When you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, you can choose to gain a number of fury points up to your maximum. You can't use this ability again until you finish a long rest.

• Your hit point current and maximum increases by 10.

This holy weapon uses its minimal Value Increment, and has unique Holy Weapon Forms. They can be used together and when you attack with one you can freely attack with the another, but only if they are wielded together. You also gain the Two-Weapon Fighting Style, granted you haven't already taken it. If so, choose another Fighting Styler to gain.

Developing Together

At 2nd level, now every time you gain a bonus or ability based on your weapon now you can get a extra one of your choice.

Divine Wounds

At 6th level, Your Holy Weapons become more deadly. Each weapon becomes serrated if it is slashing damage, barbed if it is piercing, or spiked if it is bludgeoning. Your Deadly Wounds now stacks to a maximum of 10. You can only apply 5 stacks per turn.

Twin Spirit

Saintly Symmetrical

Beginning at 18th level, you have learned your ultimate attack combo. As an action, when you activate this feature, you can move up to your movement speed as part of the same action (without spending your movement) and make six attacks against the same target. You cannot stack Holy Hemorrhage with these attacks.

In addition, for the next 10 minutes or until you are incapacitated, you gain the following benefits:

• At the start of each turn, without taking an action, you can give yourself resistance to slashing, piercing or bludgeoning damage (choose one) until the start of your next turn.

• You have blind-sight up to a range of 10 feet

• Whenever a creature within 5 feet hits you with a melee attack, you can make one attack against that creature, with advantage. This attack doesn't require a reaction.

You can use this feature once, regaining all uses of it after finishing a long rest.

Magical Nature

Spellcasting

Upon gaining a level in this class, you may learn 2 spells and 1 cantrip from any class, which you always have prepared. You gain spell slots as your level increases, as can be seen on the warlock table. You regain half of your expended spell slots upon a short rest, and all of your spell slots on a long rest.

If your chosen Cantrip does damage, you may infuse your Holy Blade with the Cantrip, adding the spell's damage to your melee damage roll for one attack. If the cantrip requires a Saving Throw, you roll your weapon's damage before the saving throw is made. Your attack with your Holy Blade must hit the creature, otherwise no saving throw is required.

Learning Spells

When you find a spell of 1st level or higher, through a spell scroll or gain tutaliage from someone who knows the spell, you can add it to your spell list if it is of a spell level you can prepare and if you can spare the time to decipher it.

Learning a spell involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering either the notation of the spell scroll or practice alongside your tutor. You must practice the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then you may channel the power of your Holy Blade to cast it.

The process is completed over the course of a long rest, and costs 50 gp for each level of the spell. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the payment needed to your tutor. Once you have spent this time and money, you may add this spell to your known spell list.

Magical Combat Style

At 1st level, your Holy Weapon is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming damage resistance. Immunity to your Holy Weapon's damage is instead treated as resistance.

In addition, your weapon's arcane nature makes spellcasting more versatile. Choose one ability score from Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma. You may use this ability score in place of Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence for attack rolls, damage rolls and Spell Save DC for your Holy Weapon.

Rune Weapon
