Parabellum

At 1st level, you gain proficiency in martial melee weapons and medium armor.

In addition you learn the cantrips booming blade and green-flame blade. These cantrips cause radiant damage, rather than their normal damage.

Celestial Light

At 1st level, you can use a bonus action to imbue yourself with the an aura of celestial light, shedding bright light in a 10-foot radius, plus dim light for another 10 feet. The aura lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature again.

When you summon this aura, you can use it in the following manners:

• Light Blade. As a bonus action, you can imbue a weapon you wield with celestial light. The next time you hit a creature with this weapon until the end of this turn, you cause additional 1d8 radiant damage, and the a flash of light makes the creature unable to take reactions until the start of your next turn. When you reach 10th level in this class, the radiant damage increases to 2d8.

• Relieving Grace. Whenever you spend spell slots to cast a spell that restore hit points, you can choose a creature within 30 feet using your bonus action, and that creature regain half the amount regained by the first creature.

You can summon the aura a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Shield of Light

At 6th level, you can use your Celestial Light to defend you and your allies, creating a magical barrier interposing itself between them and harm. When you or a creature you can see takes damage while within 30 feet while Celestial Light is active, you can use your reaction to choose one of those creatures and reduce the damage to that creature by 1d8. When you reach 10th level in this class, the damage reduced by the shield increases to 2d8.

Nephilim Body

At 10th level, you can hold your breath indefinitely, and you don't require food, water, or sleep, although you still require rest to reduce exhaustion and still benefit from finishing short and long rests.

In addition, when Celestial Light is active, you summon a pair of glowing ethereal wings, that grow from your back and give yourself a flying speed of 30 feet (hover). You can use your bonus action to double your flying speed until the end of your turn, for the duration.

Sainthood

At 14th level, you attain the divine glory of becoming a saint. Your creature type changes to celestial, and your body changes, causing you to become immune to the blinded, deafened, frightened, or charmed conditions. You also no longer age, nor can you be magically aged.

In addition, you can spend any use of your Mystical Arcanum to cast tasha’s otherworldly guise.
