Shinigami[edit]

Shinigamis are guardians of the souls who are going through the circle of transmigration. Having been called Balancers in ancient times, they purify Hollows who do evil in the World of the Living and ensure the safe crossing of souls — the Pluses who have lost their way after death — by giving them a soul burial.

Soul Protectors[edit]

When Souls with exceptional spiritual energy train their bodies, they reach the level of Shinigami. The most talented of them become affiliated with various organizations like the Gotei 13 and the Onmitsukidō. The majority of potential Shinigami are born among the residents of the Seireitei, but in some rare cases are born in the Rukongai.

Shinigami receive salaries, like workers in the Human World and also earn bounties for defeating Hollows. Retirement from further military duties can occur, though this is rare.

Pure Souls[edit]

You must be a Pure Soul to utilize any features from this class.

Reiryoku[edit]

Starting at 1st level, you are able to directly utilize the power of your soul. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of Reiryoku points. You have a number of Reiryoku points equal to 5 times your level.

When you spend a Reiryoku point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest. At the end of a short or long rest, all expended Reiryoku points returns to you.

Some of your Reiryoku features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects, or you to make a Reiryoku attack. Wisdom is your ability modifier for these features. The saving throw DC and spell attack bonus are calculated as follows:

Reiryoku save DC: 8 + your proficiency bonus + Wisdom modifier.

Reiryoku attack modifier: your proficiency bonus + Wisdom modifier.

Zanpakuto[edit]

Also at 1st level, you have successfully completed your Shinigami training, having become worthy of receiving your own Zanpakuto! Your Zanpakuto deals 1d6 of it's damage type, this damage increases as you gain levels in the Shinigami class as shown in the Zanpakuto table. Even if your zanpakuto breaks, it will become fully restored at the end of a long rest.

You must choose one of the following types of Zanpakuto to be your own:

Tanto

A Zanpakuto which is effective in its own ways. It has the light and finesse properties. On a hit, your Zanpakuto deals piercing damage.

Katana

A Zanpakuto which appears a traditional single edge sword from Japan, it is the most often kind of Zanpkauto amongst the Shinigamis. Once selecting this Zanpakuto, you can give one of the following two properties; light, finesse or versatile (This choice cannot be changed later). On a hit, your Zanpakuto deals slashing damage (the slashing damage increases by one tier if you had chosen the versatile property and was wielding it with two hands).

Nodachi

A Zanpakuto that is a large sword often as tall or larger as its wielder. Once selecting this Zanpakuto, you have two options; it can only have the two-handed and heavy properties or it can have the two-handed, heavy, and reach properties. On a hit, your Zanpakuto dals slashing damage (this damage is increased by one tier if you didn't choose the reach property).

Daisho

A Zanpakuto is rather rare as it resembles two separate blades often wielded together; however these swords are connected through some sort of rope, chain or similar object. One selecting this Zanpakuto, you can have two medium swords or one longsword and one shortsword. If you selected two medium swords, you have two swords which have the light and finesse property. If you selected one longsword and one shortsword, the longsword has the light property and versatile property whilst the shortsword has the light property and finesse property. On a hit if you have the two medium swords, they inflict 1d8 slashing damage. On a hit if you have the longsword, it will inflict slashing damage (it increases by one tier if you are wielding it with two hands). On a hit if you have the shortsword, it will inflict slashing damage (it increases by one tier if you are wielding it by itself).

Soul Purification

Your zanpakuto is not only a weapon, but also a tool of salvation. Whenever you reduce a Hollow to 0 hit points, you purify it's soul, sending their original soul to Soul Society if they were a good soul in life, or to Hell if they were a bad soul in life. Crimes they commit as a hollow are ignored in this judgment.

Konso. Your zanpakuto can be used to purify pluses. As a free action, you can touch a plus with your zanpakuto hilt to purify their soul, sending them straight to Soul Society.

Unarmored Defense[edit]

Also at 1st level, your Shinigami training made you have quick enough reflexes to the point where you don't need armor. Your AC while unarmored is 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Reiatsu[edit]

At 2nd level, Reiatsu is the physical force that a creature's Reiryoku creates when released.

Reikaku

You become aware of the levels of any creatures within 5 times your proficiency bonus times your Shinigami level feets of you, as long as these levels originate from Spiritual Classes. You can know what class the creature is just by sensing their reiatsu.

Spiritual Power

Sometimes the reiatsu a creature constantly exerts is so great that their opponents cannot even harm them. For every level you are above a creature, you gain a bonus against their saving throws by 1, and when you reach a 3 level difference you start reducing all damage per level above times your proficiency bonus. If a creature's damage is reduced to 0 by this feature, they take the damage instead. If you are at least 10 levels above a creature, you automatically pass their saving throws and their attacks deal no damage to you.

Powerful Presence

A creature with high levels of reiatsu can make another creature even faint just from looking at them. Whenever you use your spiritual pressure feature, you may also make a Charisma (Intimidation) check with a bonus of +1 for every level you are above the creature.

Spiritual Pressure

If one or more creatures level or CR is half your own or lower, you may force them to attempt a Strength saving throw at the beginning of each of your turns. On a failure, they are knocked prone and their movement speed drops to 0 until the beginning of your next turn, and they take force damage based on the level difference. For example, if you're a level 10 and fight a level or cr 1 creature, they will receive 9 force damage.

The amount of damage you cause with your spiritual pressure depends on how well refined your reiryoku is. Depending on your Wisdom modifier, your force damage will turn into a number of dies equal to the difference instead of your level. See the table bellow for reference:

Spiritual Pressure Damage Dice
If you have a +1 in Wisdom d4
If you have a +2 in Wisdom d6
If you have a +3 in Wisdom d8
If you have a +4 in Wisdom d10
If you have a +5 in Wisdom d12

Zankensoki[edit]

At 2nd level, while the academy's training helped, you've kept training for the purpose of increasing your arsenal. You gain 2 of the following trainings:

Zanjutsu Training

While not very commonly used by Shinigamis as they tend to rely more on their zanpakto's abilities, the zanjutsu art helps in combat by turning even sealed zanpakuto wielders dangerous. You gain one Zanjutsu art of your choice that you meet the requirements of.

Kido Training

While you may or not focus on the arts of Kido, it's always useful to have a spell at your disposal. You gain one Kido Spell of your choice that you currently meet the requirements of.

Hakuda Training

Sometimes your zanpakuto is not available, or you don't have the time to draw it, so having an alternate option of fighting is nice. You gain one Hakuda technique of your choice that you currently meet the requirements of. Your unarmed strike is considered a d4 for the purpose of said Hakuda unless it's already higher.

Hoho Training

All Shinigamis need at least some degree of Hoho training to keep up in battle. You gain one Hoho technique of your choice that you currently meet the requirements of.

You gain the benefit of this feature again at every level, with the technique amount being increased as you level in the Shinigami class.

Additionally, you can also give up one of those trainings on a level and gain a Spiritual Expertise that you meet the requirements of your choice.

Fighting Style[edit]

At 2nd level, you have learned a specific method of fighting to help you out on your battles.

Aprimorated Unarmored Defense

You gain a +1 bonus to your AC while not wearing any kind of armor or shield.

Blind Warrior

You have blindsight with a range in feet equal to 5 times your proficiency bonus. In that range, you can see invisible targets and anything that isn't behind total cover or hidden from you.

Classical Swordplay

While wielding a finesse weapon and no other weapons, you gain a +1 bonus to your attack rolls and AC so long as you are not using Heavy Armour or a Shield.

Dual Wielding

When you take the Attack action while two-weapon fighting, you can make the single bonus attack with your off-hand weapon as part of your Attack action, instead of your bonus action, adding your ability modifier to the damage of this attack.

Dueling

When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Versatile Fighting

Once per turn you can both attack with a versatile weapon you are wielding and grapple or shove a creature as if you replaced an attack. Such grapple or shove has a +2 to its check.

Heavyweight Fighting

You can use your weight, and the weight of your weapon, to land devastating blows. While you are wielding a heavy melee weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls and you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks to Shove.

Lightfoot Fighter

You're very quick on your feet, being very refined with your weapons. While wielding a light melee weapon, you gain a +10 to your walking speed and do not take opportunity attacks from the last creature you attacked on your turn as long as it was made with a light weapon.

Protector

When a creature you can see hits you, or a target within 5 feet, with a melee attack, you can use a reaction to add your proficiency bonus to the target's Armor Class against that attack. You must be wielding a shield or a melee weapon.

Hand to Hand Combat

Your martial arts practice gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes. While you are unarmed and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield, you can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes. Also, you can roll your zanpakuto damage die in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike.

Additionally, when you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Reiraku[edit]

At 3rd level, as a Shinigami, you had to become much more spiritually aware than other types of spiritual beings to better search for your targets. As an action for 2 reiryoku, you start concentrating and feeling the reiryoku of every living being around you. If you don't lose concentration until the beginning of your next turn, a lot of ropes will appear indicating the locations of souls within 50 times your Shinigami level feets of you. The ropes are separated in two types:

White Reiraku. A white rope represents nearby humans or a pluses.

Red Reiraku. A red rope represents nearby Shinigamis.

After the ropes appear, you will know who they belong to if you know the soul. The ropes last until the end of your turn, in which you can spend a free action to grab one of them, granting you the knowledge of the location of said soul. You cannot locate hollows this way.

Ability Score Improvement[edit]

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack[edit]

At 5th level, you can now attack twice instead of once when you take the attack action. At 11th level, you can attack three times instead of twice when you take the attack action. At 17th level, you can attack four times instead of three when you take the attack action.

Imbued Reiatsu[edit]

At 6th level, your reiryoku constantly flows through your body in the form of reiatsu, enhancing your combat prowess. Your zanpakuto now counts as a magical weapon.

Additionally, your unarmed strikes also count as magical for the sake of ignoring resistances and immunities.

Shikai[edit]

At 7th level, after countless battles with your zanpakuto, it has finally spoken with you, and revealed it's name. Every zanpakuto is different by nature, with two Shinigamis with the exact same zanpakutos being a extremely rare occasion. When you unlock your Shikai, you must choose one of the options available at Zanpakuto Types.

As a bonus action for 5 Reiryoku while wielding your zanpakuto, you may call out it's name with a command word to release it, entering in it's Shikai state for 1 minute. When your zanpakuto enters the shikai state, it's form generally changes to something described in it's zanpakuto type.

Resistant[edit]

At 7th level, your strength as a Shinigami has allowed you to resist certain area effects, such as a blue dragon's lightning breath or a fireball spell. Choose one of the following ability scores:

Brawn - Strength

Evasion - Dexterity

Endurance - Constitution

Intuition - Wisdom

When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a saving throw of the chosen ability to only take half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. When you reach your 20th level, you may choose another saving throw to benefit from this.

Air Walk[edit]

At 9th level, you have learned how to treat air as if it was solid ground. As a free action as long as you have at least 1 reiryoku, you may gain flying speed equal to your walking speed. You must spend 1 Reiryoku at the end of your turns to keep flying, and you may stop your flight at will. This doesn't count as hovering, as you're simply standing on the air.

Power Transference[edit]

At 10th level, while not much used by Shinigamis due to not being a safe thing to do so, you have learned how to transfer your power to a willing soul. As a action while a willing soul is within your reach, you can stab them with your zanpakuto to grant them your power. After having received your powers, the soul will gain a number of levels in the Shinigami class equal to half of your Shinigami level(rounded down). You will lose an equal amount of levels in the Shinigami class, as part of your powers are stripped away from you. However, if the soul has a larger reiryoku pool than you, they will gain a number of Shinigami levels equal to all of your Shinigami level -1, turning you into a level 1 Shinigami.

To recover your Shinigami powers, you must wait inside a Gigai. For every 10 days worth of downtime you pass inside said gigai, you regain one level in the Shinigami class. You can only gain levels in the Shinigami class this way up to the level you were before using power transference.

You cannot perform Power Transference on a Hollow. Additionally, you cannot perform power transference again until you regain all of your levels in the Shinigami class.

Spirit Materialization[edit]

At 11th level, you have finally reached bankai level, being able to materialize your spirit into the world to fight it. Once per day, you can spend an action to make a DC 30 Arcana check using Wisdom instead of Intelligence to try to materialize your zanpakuto. This DC is reduced by your Shinigami level(rounded down). On a failure, nothing happens and you must wait until the next day to try again. On a success however, you summon your zanpakuto spirit in 30 feet in front of you, challenging it for battle.

Your zanpakuto spirit has the exact same sheet as you, however they are level 15 in the Shinigami class. If your level is already higher than this, they are the same level as you. The combat must be made by you and your spirit only, with any outside interference caused by another creature automatically making the zanpakuto spirit dissapear. The combat ends once one of you is reduced to 0 hit points, where the one with more than 0 hit points wins. If you lose, you are reduced to 0 hit points but is considered stable, and cannot challenge your spirit again until 1d4 days have passed. However, if you win your zanpakuto spirit will recognize your strenght, granting you access to your Bankai feature.

Bankai[edit]

Design Note: You must have beaten your zanpakuto spirit in battle to unlock this feature

At 11th level, your zanpakuto has reached it's evolved state, granting you access to your bankai. As an action or bonus action if your Shikai is active for 10 reiryoku, you may enter your Bankai state for 1 minute. While on your Bankai state, you gain the following benefits:

  • You gain a +2 to your Strength, Dexterity and Wisdom scores, including their maximums.
  • Your Reiatsu feature's range doubles and deals twice as much damage.
  • You count as one level higher for your Reiatsu feature.

While on Bankai, you lose all benefits from the Shikai state unless specified.

In addition, you can now use your Shikai as a free action.

Senkaimon[edit]

At 13th level, you have learned how to open a portal back to soul society. As an action for 10 Reiryoku while holding your Zanpakuto, you stab the air and twists the blade, making paper door open between dimensions in front of you, sending you to Soul Society. If you or other creatures do not move more than 5 feet away from the point, you are transported to any location you can visualize in Soul Society or a random location on the plane, or to the last place you used Senkaimon, at the end of your next turn.

If you are already within Soul Society, this portal can send you and any other creatures to any location you can visualize in the human world or a random location on the plane.

Mastered Art[edit]

At 15th level, you have mastered the craft of one of your Shinigami arsenals, perfecting it. You must choose one of the following arts to master:

Zanjutsu Mastery

You now add your zanpakuto modifier a additional time on damage rolls.

Hakuda Mastery

Your unarmed strikes now deal force damage, and deal additional force damage equal to your Reiatsu die.

Kido Mastery

Your Kido spells cost are reduced by your proficiency bonus.

Hoho Mastery

Your movement speed now doubles when using flashstep, or triples in case you have the faster flashstep hoho technique.

Once chosen, you cannot change your mastered art.

Mastered Zanpakuto[edit]

At 18th level, you have completely mastered your zanpakuto, even being able to call your zanpakuto without it's release command.

Shikai

You have mastered your Shikai, even being able to summon it without speaking it's command word.

  • You can now use Shikai' at will.
  • Your Shikai's duration is increased to 2 minutes.
Bankai

You have mastered your bankai, reaching a point where using your bankai is something easy.

  • You may use bankai as a bonus action or free action if you are already on shikai.
  • Your Bankai's duration is increased to 2 minutes.
  • You count as two levels higher for your Reiatsu feature.

Ningen-kai no Gādian[edit]

Finally at 20th level, you have reached the pinnacle of a Shinigami, being a true protector of the living realm. Your reiryoku maximum increases by 20, you gain three Spiritual Feats of your choice that cannot be body feats or background feats and that you meet the requirements of.

Zanjutsu Arts[edit]

Some Zanjutsu arts requires your target to make a saving throw of some sorts, the DC is calculated the following way:

Zanjutsu Art DC: 8 + Your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier.

Stamina Point

Stamina comes from your body, with the more you have the more you'll last in battle. You have an amount of stamina points equal to your twice your proficiency bonus times your constitution modifier (which for this calculation is a minimum of 1, and a maximum of 5). A stamina point is expended when you use it. You recover all expended stamina points when you finish a short or long rest.

Kido[edit]

Spoken-After Incantation

Prerequisites: 5th level

You have learned that even after you’ve already cast a Kido its chant can still empower it. On your turn if a Kido you cast with an ongoing duration is still up you may use your action to speak its chant, spending half the reiryoku the spell would normally cost (rounded down). Doing so resets its duration and refills any hit points the Kido had.

Incantation Abandonment

Prerequisites: 5th level

Your skill allows you to cast some Kido spells without even speaking the incantation. When you cast a 5th level or lower Kido spell you may reduce its action cost by 1. (Ex. Full Round Action -> Action -> Bonus Action -> Free Action) When you cast a Kido spell in this way you may not cast another Kido spell on the same turn and any damage or healing from the Kido is reduced to 1/3rd (rounded down). Kido spells of 3rd level or lower do not suffer the damage and healing penalty when cast this way. At 14th level this increases to Kido spells of 7th level and 5th level, and to Kido spells of 9th and 7th level at 20th level.

Twofold Incantation

Prerequisites: 11th level

You’ve reached such a level of Kido mastery that you can fuse the chants of two Kido spells to perform both at once. As a full round action while in combat you begin chanting a combination of two Kido spells you know, spending resources as if you cast both Kido. Until the beginning of your next turn you are considered to be concentrating on a spell. On your next turn if your concentration has not been broken you gain an additional action. On that turn both your actions must be used to cast the two spells you choose, and each one can only be cast once that turn. If either of these spells force a creature to make a saving throw it is made at disadvantage, and if either of these spells make an attack roll it is made with advantage.

Shunko[edit]

Shunkō is a extremely advanced technique which combines the physical techniques of Hakuda with the spell-based techniques of Kidō. It is an ultra-powerful technique in which one drives Kidō into one's arms and legs. To start learning Shunko, you must have at least 7 levels in this class and 6 Hakuda Techniques + 6 Kido Spells.

After learning Shunko, you must choose one of the options available bellow to follow your Shunko path.

Mukyū Shunkō

Incomplete Lightning Shunko

With a lot of training, you managed to achieve the most basic form of Shunko. As a bonus action for 5 Reiryoku and 5 stamina points, you can cover your whole body with pressurized Kido to enter the Shunko state for 1 minute. While in the Shunko state, you gain the following benefits:

  • Your lightning damage now overcomes resistances but not immunities.
Shunkō: Raijin Senkei

Prerequisites: Complete Lightning Shunko

You have created a new technique to use while you have Shunko active. As an action for 10 reiryoku points + 10 stamina points while on the Shunko state, a circle of electrical energy in the shape of Raijin's drums attached to your back as your bangs rise to form horns, you then unleash a giant column of concentrated electrical energy, making all creatures in a 90 foot-cone make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure they take xd10 lightning damage(with x being your Wisdom modifier added thrice) and are knocked prone. On a success, they're able to use their movement (taking from their next turn's movement) to avoid the attack, taking half as much damage if they end their movement outside of the area. They can use movement increasing abilities that don't cost an action or bonus action during this movement, if necessary.

Your zanpakuto now gains the reach property. As part of attacking with Zabimaru, you can increase it's reach up to 5 times your Wisdom modifier.

Higa Zekko. As a bonus action for 5 reiryoku, you can disconnect the parts of Zabimaru, making all of it's pieces fly into a creature within 60 feet of you. Make a reriyoku attack roll. On a hit, the creature takes your zanpakuto damage die 1d6 times.

It also gains a snake-like head about the size of a small car. You're also slightly transformed, gaining a fur cowl around your neck. The cowl appears to be the fur of an ape, and the ape's skull can be seen over your left shoulder, while the rest of the fur extends to cover your right arm.

Your zanpakuto's reach increases to 10 times your Wisdom modifier, and you may now use your Wisdom modifier for it's attack and damage rolls. On a hit, your zanpakuto deals piercing damage as it bites your target, forcing them to make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, they are grappled by the zanpakuto and are considered restrained while grappled this way. On a success, they are not grappled. The creature may remake the Strength saving throw at the beginning of their turns, ending the grapple earlier on a success. Zabimaru cannot bite another target while it's grappling someone this way.

Improved Higa Zekko. As a bonus action for 10 reiryoku, you can disconnect the segments of Hihio Zabimaru, making all of it's pieces fly into a creature within 60 feet of you.

This reiryoku attack deals twice as much damage to objects and structures. You cannot attack with Hihio Zabimaru next round due to the immense strain this attack puts on the zanpakuto.

Reiatsu Ropes. As an action for 10 reiryoku, you separate Hihio Zabimaru's segments and make them surround a target within 30 feet of you. You force the target to make a Dexterity saving throw or be restrained by the ropes for 1 minute. They can make a Strength saving throw at the beginning of their turns to end the effect early.

cartoon-anime.gif
The Shikai state of Suzumebachi, [23]
Sting all Enemies to Death!

At 7th level, in it's Shikai state, Suzumebachi takes the form of a black and gold gauntlet, with a small chain linking it to a stinger-like blade on your middle finger. The "stinger" is about twice as long as the normal length of your fingers. Your zanpakuto gains the light and finesse properties, it's damage die increases by one tier and it now does piercing. Since your zanpakuto is now a gauntlet on your hands, any bonuses that would affect unarmed strikes can also affect it.

Nigeki Kessatsu. Suzumebachi has a very precise assassination ability, being able to kill an enemy in simply two hits. Whenever you damage a creature's Limb with Suzumebachi, you can spend 5 reiryoku to force them to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they are "stinged", being marked by a butterfly-shaped stamp on said limb and are Majorly Envenomed for x minutes(with x being your Wisdom modifier times 10). On a success, they are immune to this ability for 24 hours.

If you hit the same limb that's "stinged" with Suzumebachi again, they take xd12 additional necrotic damage(with x being your Wisdom modifier added thrice).

A creature may have a number of "sting" marks equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Jakuhō Raikōben
bankai-bleach.gif
The Bankai state of Suzumebachi, [24]

At 11th level, in it's Bankai state Suzumebachi is called Jakuhō Raikōben. Your zanpakuto turns into a gold armor missile launcher base that encases your right arm, and comes all the way above your shoulder to form a face shield that covers the right side of your face. The entire Bankai is made up of a large pointed gold cylinder with black markings. Your zanpakuto becomes a martial ranged weapon, with the ammunition range(60|600) loading, heavy, two-handed properties.

Hakai no misairu. Your Bankai grants you a powerful missile, which you may fire once without consequences. As a full round action for 20 reiryoku, you may attack with Jakuhō Raikōben, firing a missile within it's range. Make a reiryoku attack roll against the target. All creatures within your x foot-radius(with x being your reiatsu radius) of this point must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take xd12 fire damage + xd12 thunder damage(with both x's being your Wisdom modifier added twice). On a success, they're able to use their movement (taking from their next turn's movement) to avoid the attack, taking half as much damage if they end their movement outside of the area. They can use movement increasing abilities that don't cost an action or bonus action during this movement, if necessary. If a creature doesn't have enough movement to avoid the effect, they automatically fail.

If a creature has a feature that makes their successes no damage and their failures half as much, they only take no damage on a successful save, while a failed save is always full damage.

Due to the absurd recoil caused by your missile, all creatures that were beyond that point but were still within x foot-radius(with x being your reiatsu radius multiplied by 1.5) must also make the Dexterity saving throw, however only for the thunder damage. If they fail they are pushed until they are out of the reach of the explosion, taking 1d4 bludgeoning damage per object or structure they may have collided with on the path.

This attack deals twice as much damage to objects and structures.

After firing the missile, you cannot fire it again until 72 hours have fully passed. If you try to fire it again before this period, you must make a DC 25 Constitution saving throw after doing so. On a failure, you receive one level of exhaustion. On a success, you don't receive any levels of exhaustion.

When you release your zanpakuto, every creature that saw the shikai release must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, their senses are now completely under your control for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier added twice. On a success, their senses are not affected and they have immunity to Kyoka Suigetsu's effect for a number of rounds equal to their Wisdom modifier.

While a one or more creatures are under the Kyoka Suigetsu's effect, you can use your bonus action or part of activating Kyoka Suigetsu to active your shikai ability. You make terrain in an area up to your reiatsu radius times your Wisdom modifier look, sound, smell, and even feel like some other sort of terrain. The terrain’s general shape remains the same, however. Open fields or a road could be made to resemble a swamp, hill, crevasse, or some other difficult or impassable terrain. A pond can be made to seem like a grassy meadow, a precipice like a gentle slope, or a rock-strewn gully like a wide and smooth road. Similarly, you can alter the appearance of structures, or add them where none are present. You may also disguise, conceal, or add creatures. The illusion includes audible, visual, tactile, and olfactory elements, so it can turn clear ground into difficult terrain (or vice versa) or otherwise impede movement through the area.

Any creature that interacts with anything created by Kyoka Suigetsu instantly thinks that it's completely real, and while they think the effects are real the effects cannot interact with them in the real world.

Even after a creature realizes it's an illusion or you deactivate your shikai, the illusion doesn't stop until you choose to end it at will or the duration ends.

If the creature cannot believe the illusion is real for one reason or another(an ally attacking them for no reason for example), they can start remaking the Wisdom saving throw at the beginning of their turns.

Additionally, a creature's strenght may increase or decrease the duration of Kyoka Suigetsu's effects.

Below. A creature's inferiority to you makes the illusions last for more time.

  • If the creature is 1 level bellow the illusion lasts for 2 additional rounds.
  • If the creature is 2 levels bellow you the illusion lasts for 4 additional rounds.
  • If the creature is 3 levels bellow you the illusion lasts for 6 additional rounds.
  • If the creature is 4 levels bellow you the illusion lasts for 8 additional rounds.
  • If the creature is 5 levels bellow you the illusion lasts for 1 additional minute.
  • If the creature is 6 levels bellow you the illusion lasts for 2 additional minutes.
  • If the creature is 7 levels bellow you the illusion lasts for 4 additional minutes.
  • If the creature is 8 levels bellow you the illusion lasts for 8 additional minutes.
  • If the creature is 9 levels bellow you the illusion lasts for 20 additional minutes.
  • If the creature is 10 levels bellow you or can be damaged by your Reiatsu feature, the illusion may last until you end it at will.

Above. A creature's superiority to you makes the illusions last for less time.

  • If the creature is 1 level above you the illusion's duration is reduced by 1 round.
  • If the creature is 2 levels above you the illusion's duration is reduced by 2 rounds.
  • If the creature is 3 levels above you the illusion's duration is reduced by 3 rounds.
  • If the creature is 4 levels above you the illusion's duration is reduced by 4 rounds.
  • If the creature is 5 levels above you the illusion's duration is reduced by 5 rounds.
  • If the creature is 6 levels above you the illusion's duration is reduced by 6 rounds.
  • If the creature is 7 levels above you the illusion's duration is reduced by 7 rounds.
  • If the creature is 8 levels above you the illusion's duration is reduced by 8 rounds.
  • If the creature is 9 levels above you or more the illusion's duration is reduced by 9 rounds.
Mugen Kyoka Suigetsu

At 11th level, the Bankai state of Kyoka Suigetsu doesn't change from the shikai, however the blade starts shining a bright white light. When you release your bankai, you can choose one creature within your reiatsu radius times your Wisdom modifier that's currently affected by your shikai to force to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they are under a complete illusion that's also semi-real for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier added four times. On a success, they are blinded until the beginning of your next turn.

Once a creature is under the effects of your Bankai, all creatures under your Shikai's effects are now out of the illusion.

A creature under the effects of Mugen Kyoka Suigetsu can be affected in the same way that it is affected in their shikai. The difference between the shikai, is that anything that you generate will actually harm and affect creatures in the real world. The creature affected, for all intents and purposes other than damage and conditions (other than the restrained condition) interacts with the illusion as though it was real; their attacks don’t pass through an illusory wall, their attacks can hit an illusory person, they can walk on and interact with an illusory structure, etc. However, while the creatures can interact with the illusions they cannot kill them or benefit from it. Additionally, any damage caused by your illusions is turned into a xd6, where x is your Wisdom modifier added twice. The illusions may only deal damage once per round.

If nobody is under your bankai effect, you can reapply your shikai effect to one person.

You have mastered Kyoka Suigetsu.

You gain the following benefits while Kyoka Suigetsu is in it's Shikai State:

  • Your zanpakuto damage die tier is increased by one tier.
  • The duration of your shikai effect is now your Wisdom modifier added four times.

You gain the following benefits while Kyoka Suigetsu is in it's Bankai State:

Sakanade[edit]

The Shikai state of Sakanade, [26]
Collapse!

At 7th level, the Shikai state of Sakanade turns your zanpakuto's pommel into a large ring, the first few inches of the blade are covered by an extension of the cross-guard. Sakanade's blade is straight and slim, with the tip ending in a slanted razor-like edge instead of being tapered to a point. Your zanpakuto gains the reach property.

Sakasama no Sekai. As a bonus action for 10 reiryoku, you release a pink mist within a 5 times your Wisdom modifier radius(minimum of 1), forcing every creature of your choice to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they are now affected by the "inverted world" for 1 minute. On a success, they are now immune to this feature in it's complete state. While under the effects of the inverted world, the creature's sense of direction, eysight, and injury locations are also reversed. They have disadvantage on all saving throws and checks but ones that use Constitution, and they receive a penalty to all rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier. They can remake the Wisdom saving throw at the beginning of their turns, ending the inverted world and becoming immune to that version of the technique. If they're immune to a version of your Sakasama no Sekai, you may remove one of the scores affected by the feature to overcome the immunity.

The Bankai state of Sakanade, [27]

At 11th level, in the Bankai state of Sakanede, it's blade is nearly identical to its Shikai, but the tip of the blade is replaced with a sharp ring which matches the one on the base of its hilt. A large golden flower construct manifests around yourself, with its petals fully enveloping him inside to shield you for the duration of the Bankai, granting you full cover. A pink mist then diffuses from atop the flower, covering your reiatsu radius. All creatures but you within that radius must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, their senses of ally and foe are inverted, making them become bloodlusted against creatures friendly to them and charmed to creatures hostile to them. On a success, their senses are not inverted. They can remake the Wisdom saving throw at the beginning of their turns, ending their inverted senses earlier on a success. At the beginning of your next turn, the flower goes down and you may now move freely. You may reactivate the flower for 10 reiryoku, covering yourself again.

The Shikai state of Nozarashi, [28]
Drink!

At 7th level, in it's Shikai state Nozarashi takes on the form of a great axe/war cleaver hybrid with a long, cloth-wrapped handle. The top of the blade has a brass cover with a green tassel attached to the backside. Your zanpakuto now gains the reach, versatile and heavy properties. While Nozarashi has no special abilities, it has immense power that can destroy buildings with ease. Your zanpakuto damage die is increased by half of your Wisdom modifier(rounded up). Additionally, you deal additional damage die on a critical hit equal to your Wisdom modifier, Nozarashi also deals twice as much damage to objects and structures.

Ichimonji[edit]

Monk Who Calls the Real Name

Your zanpakuto holds absolute power over true names, a power so great it holds significance even while sealed. Your zanpakuto in the sealed state becomes a giant brush with the reach and versatile properties. When you hit a creature with this brush you do not deal damage, instead dividing the name of the part of them you hit. The creature has disadvantage on any attack rolls, ability checks, or saving throws made with the limb you hit for one minute.

Ink Manipulation. As an action for 10 reiryoku you write a word with your zanpakuto’s ink to produce an affect based on the word written, for example writing “Conceal” to completely hide an area from detection unless a creature trying to detect it passes a Wisdom save or writing “Seal” to create a boundary that cannot be passed unless a creature trying to pass it succeeds on a Strength save.

Name Identification. Your power over names gives you perfect knowledge of them. You know the true name of all things, including but not limited to the names of all zanpakuto from the moment they are created. You retain this even while in shikai or bankai.

Name Curse. As one with absolute power over names your own name bears great significance, protected by a curse. When a creature speaks your name within 120 feet of you you may deem them unworthy, causing them to take an amount of damage equal to your Wisdom and lose the ability to speak for 1 minute. This may be used even while in shikai or bankai.

Self-Reconstitution. When you die you enter a state of suspended consciousness for an amount of hours equal to your Wisdom modifier. While in this state you may communicate telepathically with any creature you know the name of. If a creature speaks your name while you are in this state you may cause them to lose 10 reiryoku to immediately revive at full hit points within an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the creature. This may be used even if you died while in shikai or bankai.

bleach-thousand-year-blood-war.gif
The Shikai state of Ichimonji, [30]
Blacken!

At 7th level, upon release, the brush transforms into a form of a somewhat short glaive, with the top portion taking the form of a short, single edged blade reminiscent of a tip of a chokutō, attached to the long brush handle. Additionally, a large halo of black ink appears in the air behind you. In shikai your zanpakuto no longer inflicts disadvantage and instead deals damage as normal. When you attack with your shikai the target and creatures in a 15 foot cone behind them must make a Dexterity saving throw, becoming covered in ink for 1 minute on a failure. The original target of the attack automatically fails the save if the attack hits them. A creature covered in ink this way receives a penalty to their attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws equal to half your Wisdom modifier. Additionally even if this shikai is stolen or copied in some way the original owner is completely immune to all of its effects and it will be returned to them at the start of their turn.

Futen Taisatsuryo. As a full turn action for 30 reiryoku you create a cup of black ink to sip from before chanting an incantation to summon a gargantuan mausoleum of ink in a point of your choosing within 60 feet of you. The mausoleum lasts for 1 minutes, or until you dispel it at will (no action required). Every creature of your choice that enters a 100 foot radius around the mausoleum or starts their turn within that range must make a Constitution saving throw, taking Xd12 (X equals your Wisdom modifier times your proficiency bonus) force damage on a failure or half as much on a success as all the darkness in their body, even flesh and bones and blood, is forcibly torn out. This damage ignores evasion style features, damage reductions, damage thresholds, resistances, immunities, and a creature reduced to 0 hit points by this damage dies instantly and cannot be revived by any means, destroyed too completely to save.

Shirafude Ichimonji
ShirafudeIchimonji.jpg
The Bankai state of Nozarashi, [31]

As you activate your Bankai your zanpakuto’s blade reverts to a brush yet again, now emitting a white energy, some of which forming a circle around you. As an action for 40 reiryoku you may write a creature’s name (such as “Frog”) on a creature covered in your shikai’s ink. They make a Wisdom saving throw and on a failure the creature cannot use any of their class features or racial features. They gain the traits of the creature, and must use that creature’s Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution instead of their own. This effect lasts until the end of your bankai.

Mastered Zanpakuto

At 18th level, you have completely mastered Ichimonji, drawing the maximum potential out of your zanpakuto.

While Ichimonji is in it's Shikai state, you gain the following benefits:

  • The cone increases to 30 feet.
  • The penalty is now your full Wisdom modifier.
  • Futen Taisatsuryo’s damage increases by 10d12.

  • The target must now also use the creature’s Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma instead of their own.
  • The cost is reduced to 20 reiryoku.

True Zangetsu[edit]

Ultimate Hybrid

Your zanpakuto’s nature is a result of your soul being a conglomerate of many races, a truth which has finally revealed itself to you. You gain the Hybrid Soul feat and must choose the Hollow and Quincy options. Additionally this zanpakuto’s shikai and bankai cannot be stolen or copied in any way.

Full Hollowfication Rampage. At 11th level or greater whenever you roll a death save you also roll a wisdom saving throw (DC 20). On a success you are immediately restored to full health your hollow mask is activated, your Shikai (or Bankai if you have it) is activated, and you gain the benefits of the Improved Horn of Salvation feature. You are under the berserk condition and you are controlled by the dungeon master. Full Hollowfication Rampage ends when you fall unconscious or your mask is destroyed, and if you have the Horn of Salvation feature you no longer make the saving throw.

Fight!

At 7th level, the Shikai form of Zangetsu takes the form of two separate, purely black blades. One is a very large sword in the shape of a khyber knife, with the grip at the base of the blade and a handle extending back from this about roughly the width and length of your forearm. There is a thin, hollowed-out portion running along the back edge of the blade from the base to the middle of the blade. The second blade is relatively small, about the size of your arm, and is similar to the first blade, but resembles a trench knife more than a sword. Unlike its counterpart, it has an enclosed handle, with a portion acting like a hand guard. The damage die tier of the larger blade is increased by one, and both weapons have the light property only for you (for other creatures the larger sword has the heavy property). Additionally you gain the Hybrid Soul feat (even while outside shikai) and must choose the Hollow and Quincy options.

Getsuga Tensho. The smaller of the two blades is capable of firing off Getsuga Tensho, a powerful flying slash of condensed reiryoku, with barely any movement or effort. Once per turn when you would make an attack with your Zanpakuto you may pay 5 reiryoku to replace the attack with a Getsuga Tensho. You make a reiryoku attack roll against a creature within 50 feet of you. On a hit, they take Xd12 force damage and are pushed 10 feet back, with X being your Wisdom modifier. This also targets any creatures or objects within a 10 foot-radius of the target. This reiatsu attack deals twice as much damage to objects and structures.

Black Getsuga Tensho. The larger of the two blades is capable of firing off much more powerful Getsuga Tenshos, black in coloration, but they are much slower. As an action for 15 reiryoku while holding the larger blade, you make a reiryoku attack roll against a creature within 100 feet of you. On a hit, they take Xd12 force damage and are pushed 20 feet back, with X being double your Wisdom modifier. This also targets any creatures or objects within a 20 foot-radius of the target. This reiatsu attack deals thrice as much damage to objects and structures.

Getsuga Jujisho. By firing a Getsuga Tensho from both blades in unison a cross shaped attack of immense power is produced. As a lengthy action for 20 reiryoku you make a reiryoku attack roll. Any creature in a 100 feet long, 25 feet wide line in front of you who the attack roll would hit take Xd12 damage and are knocked 30ft back, with X being triple your Wisdom modifier. This reiatsu attack also damages any objects or structures in the area and deals thrice as much damage to objects and structures.

Horn of Salvation. The blades you wield are a physical manifestation of the many powers united within you, the larger blade a mixture of your hollow and shinigami powers while the smaller is your quincy powers. Normally these powers balance each other out, but you may choose to intentionally bring out your hollow powers more than the others, merging with it. If you are 17th level or greater when you would don your Hollow Mask you instead enter the Horn of Salvation form for the same duration as your body gains many distinctly hollow features and your larger blade turns white. You gain the following benefits in addition to those normally granted by your Hollow Mask for the duration:

  • Your movement speed is doubled, and you may choose when moving for it to appear as if you teleported. When you do so your movement cannot be reacted to by any creature without a Reiatsu level higher than yours.
  • The maximums for your Strength, Dexterity, and Wisdom stats increases by 2, and their maximums by 4.
  • You now use a Vasto Lorde Arrancar instead of an Adjuchas Arrancar for the purposes of determining what mutations you meet the prerequisites for.
  • Your Reiatsu feature deals triple damage, the range is doubled, creatures make the strength save with disadvantage, and you are considered 1 level higher for calculating it.
  • When you use a Black Getsuga Tensho you may choose to merge it with a cero to produce a far deadlier attack. To do so you expend additional reiryoku (and health for Gran Rey Cero) equal to the cero’s cost as part of using the Black Getsuga Tensho, adding the cero’s damage dice (NOT including the flat damage) to the Black Getsuga Tensho.
Tensa Zangetsu

At 11th level, to activate this Bankai one must place the two blades of the Shikai side by side, causing a surge of energy to engulf you and the swords. Tensa Zangetsu takes the form of a khyber knife variation; the smaller black blade comprises the inner part of the sword and has the handle, which resembles a normal katana's with black wrapping, fixed to it, while the base of the sword is slanted and the blade continues with a section jutting out from the underside as a guard, with a chain attached to it that loops over the top and attaches right before the point of the blade. Your zanpakuto now has the versatile property, and you gain the following benefits while in the bankai state:

  • Your movement speed increases by 30.
  • Your Zanpakuto damage die tier increases by two.
  • You gain one additional reaction.
  • You can make one additional attack on your attack action as long as it's made with Tensa Zangetsu.

Golden Getsuga Tensho. As part of the attack action replacing 4 attacks for 25 reiryoku while holding Tensa Zangetsu, you make a reiryoku attack roll against a creature within 150 feet of you. On a hit, they take Xd12 force damage and are pushed 30 feet back, with X being quadruple your Wisdom modifier. This also targets any creatures or objects within a 30 foot-radius of the target. This reiatsu attack deals quadruple as much damage to objects and structures.

Improved Horn of Salvation. If you are 17th level or greater when you would don your Hollow Mask you instead enter the Improved Horn of Salvation form for the same duration as your body gains many distinctly hollow features and the outer layer of Tensa Zangetsu turns white. You gain the following benefits in addition to those normally granted by your Hollow Mask for the duration:

  • Your movement speed is tripled, and you may choose when moving for it to appear as if you teleported. When you do so your movement cannot be reacted to by any creature without a Reiatsu level higher than yours.
  • Your Strength, Dexterity, and Wisdom stats increases by 4, and the maximums for those stats increase by 6.
  • You now use a Vasto Lorde Arrancar instead of an Adjuchas Arrancar for the purposes of determining what mutations you meet the prerequisites for.
  • Your Reiatsu feature deals triple damage, the range is doubled, creatures make the strength save with disadvantage, and you are considered 3 levels higher for calculating it.
  • When you use a Golden Getsuga Tensho you may choose to merge it with a cero to produce a far deadlier attack. To do so you expend additional reiryoku (and health for Gran Rey Cero) equal to the cero’s cost as part of using the Golden Getsuga Tensho, adding the cero’s damage dice (NOT including the flat damage) to the Golden Getsuga Tensho.

Class Variant Rules[edit]

Jinzen[edit]

Design Note: You must have the Shikai feature to use this rule.

Based on a Shinigami's zanpakuto ability, they may obtain a new technique by fighting off their zanpakuto.

During a long rest, you may concentrate yourself to enter your inner world and fight your zanpakuto. The combat takes place in your inner world, which you must decide with your GM how it looks and what kind of place is it. Your zanpakuto spirit has the exact same sheet as you, however they are level 15 in the Shinigami class and have the new technique you're trying to learn. If your level is already higher than this, they are the same level as you. The combat ends once one of you is reduced to 0 hit points, where the one with more than 0 hit points wins. If you lose, you wake up back in the real world but cannot fight your spirit again until the next long rest. If you win, you obtain the new technique.

A shinigami may only have a total number of techniques for their Shikai up to their proficiency bonus. For their Bankai however, the number is increased to their proficiency bonus + their Wisdom modifier.

While you can fight for new techniques, you may also fight to upgrade abilities from your Shikai to their Bankai version. For example, you may fight your spirit for them to upgrade your getsuga tensho ability, making it have a different effect(of your choice) when you use it on bankai.
