Quincy, Variant[edit]
Long ago, the Quincy were an organization of humans capable of detecting the presence of dangerous undead known as Hollows. However, unlike Soul Reapers, Quincy completely erase the souls of those they slay rather than purifying them so they return to the afterlife. Due to this, they threatened the balance and separation between dimensions, which would mix life and death together into a world some feared would result in chaos in the end of the world, while others believed it would ultimately free all life from the fear of death. Over a lengthy war, almost every Quincy was killed. As the Quincy are both an organization and set of abilities, it is still capitalized.

Reiatsu[edit]
Reiatsu (霊力, Spiritual Power) is a power aligned with the spiritual sensitivity and willpower of the user. It is used by Shinigami, Espada, Quincy, and other spiritual beings to provide power for their various abilities.
Beginning at 1st level, you have a number of Reiatsu points equal to the number listed in the Reiatsu Points column of the Quincy class table + your Wisdom modifier. You regain all expended Reiatsu points when you finish a long rest. If your Reiatsu points reach a count of 0, you have Disadvantage on all saving throws, excluding death saving throws, until you regain at least 1 Reiatsu point. If you already have Reiatsu from another class, such as from the Fullbringer or Espada class, or Reiatsu from the Soul Reaper class, any features that use Reiatsu may use the other point pool as well.
Some of your Reiatsu features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects, or you to make a spell attack. Wisdom is your ability modifier for these features. The saving throw DC and spell attack bonus are calculated as follows:
Reiatsu save DC= 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
Reiatsu attack modifier= your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Heilig Bogen[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you pull in Reiatsu through your pendant to summon a bow made of blue energy that you are proficient with. You can summon your bow as a bonus action for 1 Reiatsu, and it costs 1 reiatsu per arrow. The bow range of 20/260 ft., and deals 1d8 + dex piercing damage at 1st level, 1d10 + dex at 4th level, 1d12 + dex at 8th level, 2d8 + dex at 12th level, 2d10 + dex at 16th level, and 2d10 + (dex x2).
Reiatsu Manipulation[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, your training has taught you how to use your Reiatsu as a invisible armor to strengthen your body.

Vollständig can be activated as an action 1 time for 5 minutes or until you become unconscious, regaining use of the ability at the end of a long rest. While released, the Heilig Bogen is considered a magic weapon for all checks involving resistance against an enemy.

You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn't exceed what you can carry. You can also bring up to two willing creatures that are Medium or smaller.

- Jilliel
At 14th level, while in Letzt Stil or Vollständig, your movement does not provoke opportunity attacks as you teleport instantly instead of traditional movement; Diagramme no longer costs additional Reiatsu on consecutive uses; you may choose to shed bright light in a 60 ft. radius, shedding dim light for another 60 ft.; and your size category increases by 1 to a minimum of Large.

A creature can not be resurrected in this manner more than once. As a bonus action, you may spend a number of Reiatsu to heal one of these "zombies" for an equal number of hit points. You are always aware of how many hit points your zombies have.
