You may only use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier per long rest
Bash[edit]
Beginning at 2nd Level, you gain the ability to attack your opponents with such force to knock them off balance, setting up for future attacks. The first time you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, the next attack you make against that creature until the end of your next turn has advantage.
Demon Form[edit]

Extra Attack[edit]
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Whirlwind[edit]
Beginning at 6th level, you learn to whirl your blades around you hitting multiple creatures. As an action, make a weapon attack on a creature within 5 feet of you. As long as this attack hits, you may make another attack on a creature within 5 feet of you that you have not yet attacked this turn. (You may repeat this process any number of times until the end of your turn).
The maximum number of creatures attacked with this feature equals your proficiency bonus.
Shrug it off[edit]
At 9th level, your bodies becomes extremely resilient as a result of your demonic gifts. Whenever you get hit by a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to make a DC 5 Constitution Saving throw. On a success, you take half damage from that attack.
Each time you use this feature, increase the DC by 5. The DC resets to 5 when you finish a long rest.

Feed[edit]
Beginning at 13th level, your boiling demon blood drives you to commit acts akin to the demon you signed away your soul to. Whenever you reduce a creature's to zero hit points, you may use your reaction to feast upon it's flesh, gaining temporary hit points equal to half that creature's hit point maximum.
Once you use this feature, you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Sword Boomerang[edit]
Beginning at 14th level, your demonic gifts allow you manipulate your blade in inhuman ways. As an action, you may choose up to 4 target creatures in a 15-foot cone in front of you and hurl your blade at them. Those creatures must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) or take damage equal to 2d6 plus your Strength modifier on a failure, or half as much on a success.
Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or a long rest.

Demon Forms[edit]
Blood[edit]
These soldiers utilize their own boiling demon blood as a tool to achieve victory.
- Blood for Blood
When you take this subclass at 3rd level, you gain the ability to sacrifice your own health for battle power. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can add 2d8 to the damage of the attack, from the weapon's type.
If you do, you take 1d8 necrotic damage. This damage ignore resistance or immunity to necrotic.
- Offering
At 7th level, you learn a ritual to offer your blood to the demon who you signed your contract to, in exchange for power. Once per turn on your turn, you can choose to take 2d8 necrotic damage (that ignore resistance and immunity to damage) to take one additional action.
You may use this feature twice, and regain your uses of it after completing a short or a long rest.
- Bloodletting
At 10th level, you can drain your own blood to rid yourself of negative effects. As a bonus action, you can end any negative status effect on yourself. If you do, you take 1d8 necrotic damage (Damage taken this way cannot be reduced by resistances or immunity to necrotic damage).
- Hemokenisis
At 15th level, you learn how to weaponize your blood, even after it has already been split. As an action, you can lift all of your split blood off the ground and send it in a line 30 feet long in front of you. Creatures in that line must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking Necrotic damage equal to 1d6 per 10 health that you are missing. (Example: If you have 100 Max HP and are currently at 50 Hp, then the damage is 5d6)
Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or a long rest.
Slayer[edit]
With your Demonic gifts, your strength and wit in battle is that of 10 men.

Once you use this action, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest
- Spot Weakness
Beginning at 7th Level, as an action, you can study a creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you, determining where it is weakest. For the next minute, attacks with strength based weapons on that creature will Critically Strike on a 19.
- Twin Strike
Beginning at 10th level, whenever you make your first attack roll using your Extra Attack feature, you may choose to use that attack roll for another one of your attacks.
- Seeing Red
At 15th Level, you can focus your attention on one enemy, and will not stop until they drop. As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. Attacks you make against that creature have advantage, and you have disadvantage to attack other creatures. This effect ends once the chosen creature reaches 0 HP, disappears from your sight for 1 minute, or you fall unconscious.
Once you use this action, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest
Defender[edit]
These soldiers took their pact in order to be a shield for their comrades, making them nigh impossible to get through

When you take this form at 3rd level, you can use your action to cover yourself with an ethereal armor for 1 minute. For the duration, you gain Temporary HP equal to half your Ironclad level rounded up at the start of your turn.
You may use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.

Beginning at 7th level, you can plant your feet and stand your ground as an action. If you do, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and cannot be moved against your will. This ability ends if you move 5 feet or more.
You may use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest
- Walking Barricade
At 10th level, your defensive capabilities are unparalleled. Whenever you gain Temporary HP, you may now add the total to your current Temporary HP value instead of replacing it. However, your Temp HP value can no longer exceed 10 times your Ironclad level, and you lose any temp HP you have when you roll for initiative.
- Body Slam
It has long been said that the best offense is a good defense, and you embody that statement
Beginning at 15th level as an action, you may choose one creature within five feet of you and slam your body into it as an unarmed strike. If you hit, you may add your half of your Temporary HP value to the damage of the attack roll, rounded down.
