"It is not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it." -Hans Selye
This feat gives you the following effects
- Stress Points. You gain a new variation of point type called Stress Points. There is no limit to the amount of Stress Points you may have, but they reset after a short rest. You gain Stress Points when you either miss an attack or from taking damage. Missing an attack gives 1 Stress Point, while getting attacked gives you a Stress Points equivalent to the damage of the attack/10 Rounded down (It can be 0).
Stress Point Features
- Stressed Enhancement. You may spend 1 Stress Point to increase your Dexterity or Strength by +2 for 1 turn as a Free Action.
- Relaxation. You spend 2 Stress Points and take a deep breath healing 1d8 + Constitution as a bonus action, this follows the progression of the spell Cure Wounds. This ability is able to stack.
- Stress Surge You may spend 10 Stress Points to use Action Surge.
- I Hate You. When you gain 20 Stress Points, you automatically enter a form called Corrupted in this form. When in this form, you lose 2 stress points every turn with no way to gain them back. When you come out from the form you also have to roll a Wisdom saving throw, or gain a point of exhaustion
Corrupted Features
- Stress Explosion. As an attack action, you stab the ground and are able to make a 10ft explosion that deals 2d10 + Constitution force damage. Any creature within the radius must then make a Dexterity saving throw taking half damage on a success. The dice increases by 1d10 at levels 8, 11 and 17.
- Corruption Laser. As an action you point out your hand and fire out a devastating beam, that can even cut through metal. The beam has a modifier to hit equal to your Constitution + your proficiency. The beam also has the range of 50/150 and deals 2d10 radiant damage on a hit.
- Stressful Miasma. As an action you may put out a miasma with a square radius of 10ft. If a creature is standing in the miasma at the start of their turn they make a Constitution saving throw. The creature takes 3d10 poison damage on a failure, and half damage on a success. This increases by 1d10 at levels 8, 11 and 17.
- Stress Crack. When you hit you may choose to forgo your weapons damage instead bypassing any immunities dealing 1d6+Constitution true damage.
- Stress Claws. When in stressed form you gain claws that deal 1d10 + Constitution slashing damage, with which you have Dexterity + proficiency to hit or Strength + proficiency. If you already deal equal to or, do more damage than 1d10 your damage dice instead goes up by 1.
