Corvo Attano, one of the most feared and effective Void Champions.

An assassin, clad in red and blade in hand, runs atop rooftops towards the palace with his followers behind him. Towards his target, he then raises his fist and appears in front of the empress he was tasked to kill. A former bodyguard, now disgraced, strides through the alleyways of a dark city. His face hidden by a metal mask, guards confront him but they are outmatched by the masked felon's expert swordsmanship. A woman running through and over the sun bleached streets of a decrepit coastal town. Turning a corner just as she nears a group of corrupt nobles, then transforming into a horrifying shadow and proceeds to tear them apart.

All of these warriors, infamous assassins and disgraced nobles, have one thing in common. A mark on the back of their hand; the symbol of a taboo deity. The Outsider [[1]]. His mark grants them incredible, supernatural powers, all for the purpose of his entertainment.

Archetypes

Starting at 1st level you choose an archetype depending on your fighting style. High aggression combatants would be Crown Killers. Stealth based assassins would be Phantom Spies. The archetype dictates the options for your abilities; such as elemental alignments, summoning powers and Void's Wrath.

Expertise

At 1st level, you choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies, you may choose two more proficiencies at 10th level.

Seeker

At first level you are approached by the Outsider in a dream, there he gives his Mark and explains to you your new powers. And additionally he gifts you a Seeker, a tool crafted from a personal artifact: be it the heart of recently deceased love; or a pocket watch heirloom. The object is always augmented by the Outsider with technology and Void energy to give its enchanted properties:

-While the Seeker is equipped, the host gains advantage to Insight(Wis) checks against any humanoid that has an Int of 10 or higher.

-While equipped the Seeker can guide the host to objects of interest, the creature gain a +2 to investigation or perception.

Runes

Runes are vessels for Void energy, their power can only be unlocked by people with the Outsider's Mark. Void Champions use runes to access and improve their supernatural powers, they do this by transferring the energy from the rune into themselves, which alters their powers. Runes are gained by accessing shrines to the Outsider, finding them in the lonely places of the world or by the Outsider himself gifting you them in a dream. You find or are gifted runes (personal choice, but consult DM) at 1st, 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 20th level.

Assassin Mask

Your mask is your symbol. It's what hides your true identity and causes people to fear you. The mask is usually constructed from leather, cloth, steels and brass. As the mask obscures your face, people you make an Insight (Wis) check against you have -1 to their rolls. You always wear your mask on missions and you are fiercely protective of your mask, and hence identity.
