Preface

(Sidenote / Credits: I was inspired to make and finish up a wiki page based on a reddit user, Endrazda's post about this class. (https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/88nvku/5e_need_help_with_revising_my_homebrew_class/) They're really creative so I advise giving them support for their idea.)

Introduction

Power of the King is an ability that stems from the Apocalypse Virus, which analyzes intron sequences in the human genome and draws out the power hidden within them by converting them into Voids. The users of the power are known as "Kings" or "the one(s) with throne or crown", etc. and things similar to that. When in use or being used, there is a mark that appears on the user's right/left hand, but it's rather unknown whether the power/mark can manifest on one's left hand (while both hands are intact).

NOTE: Void selected for an individual creature is determined by the DM's discretion of describing its nature (or heart). This does not apply towards the Herald.

Attack rolls are d20+Charisma+Proficiency Bonus. If you roll an 1 on an attack roll while attacking with a Void, the Void breaks permanently, and the Void's owner becomes incapacitated to the Apocalypse Virus (this does not apply to the Herald).

Apocalypse Virus (OPTIONAL)

(NOTE: This should be completely controlled by the DM through lore and story unless the King is using Relentless King IMO) Prolonged wielding of Voids leads to Crystallization. Also, each stage grants one Void Genome for you only:

• Stage I: After 2 turns hit point maximum is reduced by 25%.*
• Stage II: After 4 turns hit point maximum is reduced by 50%.*
• Stage III: After 6 turns speed is reduced by half.*
• Stage IV: After 8 turns wielder becomes blind and deafened.*

Conditions stack (except hit point reductions)

Crystallization: Targets that succumb to this are incapacitated. Occurs after 10 turns of wielded Void or from Corruption.
