Vengeful Spirit[edit]
You perhaps died and came back, making this subclass particularly suitable for undead type races. However, you may also have been left for dead and returned only to wreak hell upon those who simply abandoned you while you yet lived, and still are alive.
- Unnatural Fortitude
Starting 1st level, either death or the trauma of near death has altered you immensely so you are only at the fringe of being mortal. Your food and drink requirements are halved, if you require nourishment. If you would be reduced to 0 hit points, you may instead drop to 1 hit point. You must finish a long rest before using this feature again.
- Hateful Weapon
Your signature weapon is one of great importance to you, as it is your main channel for your pent up rage and hatred. Starting 2nd level, you may spend an hour bonding with your signature weapon. You may only have one bonded weapon at a time. If you make a new bonded weapon, the old one loses its bonded property. A bonded weapon will reappear in your hand as a bonus action so long as it is in the same plane.
- Ever Finder
Your body phases between this world and the next as your rage makes you transcendent. Starting 6th level, you instantly know where a creature you marked with your Predatory Mark is, even if they are invisible or in a different plane. Additionally, you gain ethereal sight, and can see 60 feet into the Ethereal Plane when you are on the Material Plane, and vice versa.
- Ghastly
Obstacles cannot get in the way of you and your prey, as you can now bypass much of the material that would hamper you. Starting 9th level, you may spend a horror point to step into the Ethereal Plane as an action. You are capable of moving twice your movement speed as long as you are within the Ethereal Plane. You can exit the Ethereal Plane by using a bonus action and spending another horror point. You are visible on the Material Plane while in the Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet you can't affect or be affected by anything on the other plane.
- Dreadful Pursuit
Fear strikes dead at those who see you coming for them. Starting 17th level, when you move at least 20 feet in a line towards a creature that can see you, you have advantage on all attack rolls against that creature until the end of your turn. Additionally, you can force the creature to expend a reaction to attempt a Wisdom saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, they become frightened. At the start of each of the frightened creature's turns, they can retry the Wisdom saving throw. On a success, they are no longer frightened and are immune to being frightened by you for 24 hours.
Unstable Killer[edit]
You may be mortal, but you're one tough son of a bitch to put down. A voice maybe drives you to insane lengths to kill. Hearing the screams and feeling the warm blood drives you, not any sense of logic.
- Unbreakable
Starting 1st level, your incessant desire to kill and strike fear makes you inured to pain and being hit. Your body can withstand great ordeals on its own, without fancy adornment. When unarmored, your Armor Class is equal to 13 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You may use a shield and still gain this benefit.
- Variable User
Your bloodlust is not limited to one tool. All are means of murder you can use. Starting 2nd level, you can make up to three weapons your Signature Weapon instead of just one.
- Designated Resistance
Those you designate as prey, you have prepared for. They cannot harm you. Starting 6th level, a creature marked by your Predatory Mark had disadvantage in attack rolls against you.
- Gory Revelry
Starting 9th level, you become incredible at hitting parts where it hurts. When you make a critical hit against a creature, you may roll an additional damage die in addition to the critical hit.
- Rampage
Once you've started, you refuse to stop. Starting at 17th level, once, on each of your turns when you make a critical hit against a creature with your Signature Weapon, you can use your bonus action to make an additional attack on a different creature that is within 5 feet of the original target and within your range and roll with advantage.
