The chaplain can then make one attack as a bonus action. Frightful Presence. Each creature of the chaplain’s choice that is within 30 feet of the chaplain and aware of him must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the chaplain’s Frightful Presence for 24 hours.

See Space Marines (5e Creature) Chaplains are the spiritual leaders of space marine chapters. These zealous orators minister to the spiritual needs of their brothers, and on the battlefield their sheer charisma becomes a weapon to inspire their allies and demoralize their foes. Spectres of Death. Chaplains are set apart from their fellow space marines by the black paint of their armour, which is often decorated with macabre symbols of skulls, eagles, and other icons which vary from chapter to chapter. Their helmet’s faceplate is wrought in the likeness of a human skull, and so realistic is its likeness that a chaplain is sometimes mistaken for a towering death knight. This sinister apparel serves the chaplain well, for the very sight of him fills his enemies’ hearts with dread. Sacred Armaments. Every chaplain carries an eagle-headed mace known as a Crozius Arcanum. This mace is both a deadly weapon and a symbol of the chaplain’s office and authority, entrusted to him by the chapter’s masters, and he would sooner die than let it fall into an enemy’s hands. Chaplains also wear a holy symbol known as a rosarius, which protects him from harm by surrounding his body with an energy field that deflects incoming attacks. Beyond this practical purpose, the rosarius is a symbol of the chaplain’s faith and piety, and as with the crozius he would rather die than surrender it to his foes. Warrior-Priests. Chaplains are the keepers of a space marine chapter’s hallowed traditions, and much like apothecaries minister to a space marine’s body, a chaplain ministers to the space marine’s spirit. They lead their brethren in prayer and religious rites, and oversee the indoctrination of aspirants and initiates into the chapter’s cult. When a space marine wavers in his duties, the chaplain is there to lend him support and counsel… and when a space marine turns from the Emperor’s light, the chaplain is there to either turn him back or put him down. |
