Order of the Jinx (5e Subclass)
Order of the Jinx[edit]
Blood Hunter Subclass
Order of the Jinx bloodhunters master the art of curses, bringing their power to a new level. No longer constrained by their hemocraft, they can bewitch their enemies without the price for blood.
- Jinxed Soul
At 3rd level, you gain a number of jinx points equal to twice your Blood Hunter level. You can spend 3 points to amplify a Blood Curse or to activate a Primal Rite without rolling the hemocraft die.
- Jinxes. Using your jinxed soul, you can also modify your blood curses through the use of Jinxes, that alter and enhance the effects of the curses. You start by knowing four jinxes, learning more two at 7th, 11th, 15th and 18th levels. Whenever you learn a new Jinx, you can replace one you know for a new one.
- Casting a Jinx. Casting a Jinx require a bonus action. Alternatively, you can use a Jinx as part of the same bonus action used to cast the Blood Curse.
- Jinx Duration. The jinx last for the duration of the Blood Curse, unless otherwise stated.
- Blood Weapons
Also at 3rd level, you can use the blood not used for your hemocraftic powers to manifest a new ability: the conjuration of blood weapons. You can roll a hemocraft die as a bonus action to create the blood weapon.
A blood weapon can take the form of a melee weapon with the reach property or a ranged weapon (30/90). A ranged weapon disappears after 10 attacks, while a melee weapon lasts for 1 minute.
The weapon uses your hemocraft score for attacks and damage rolls, and cause damage equal to your hemocraft die. You must choose the type: bludgeoning, piercing, slashing, when you create the weapon. This weapon is considered magical.
- Brand of the Wicked
At 11th level, whenever you brand a creature, you can choose to bestow one of your Jinxes on that creature (spending points as normal). The jinx will last for the duration of the brand.
- Master of Jinxes
At 15th level, whenever you kill a jinxed creature before the duration of the curse expire, you can use your reaction to move the jinx to another creature within range. You can't do so for jinxes that are triggered by the target's death.
- Blood Curse of the Jinxed Words
As an Action, you shout deadly curses all around you. Each creature within 30 feet of you that can hear you must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or must subtract 1d4 for any attack roll, ability check or saving throw it makes until the end of your next turn. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw is immune to this curse for the next 24 hours.
If you jinx this curse, you must spend jinx points for each creature targeted.
- Amplify. The range of this curse increases to 60 feet.
