Scout

At 1st level, you gain proficiency in Perception and Stealth, and double your proficiency bonus in checks with this features if you are already proficient.

Wraith

At 1st level, you can use a bonus action to enter in your Wraith Form. While in the wraith form, you can see through walls and darkness up to a range of 30 feet.

Drain

At 1st level, you can use an Action to drain the life force of an opponent. You force a creature to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, that target takes necrotic damage equal to your Drain Die, which is a d4, and you regain the same amount of hit points.

You can use Drain a number of times equal to the number shown on the Drain Uses column, regaining your uses after finishing a long rest.

Elf Shot

Whenever you drain a creature, you gain 1 elf shot. You can have a number of elf shots equal to your Wisdom modifier at any given time.

You can use Elf Shots to allow your Wraith to perform actions, as follows:

Manifest Bow. You can spend 1 Elf Shot to fire a spectral arrow against a creature within 120 feet. You cause force damage equal to that creature equal to two rolls of your Drain Die.

Shadow Strike. You can spend 2 Elf Shot to teleport to a place you can see within 5 feet of a hostile creature at a distance equal to your movement speed. You can then use a reaction to make an attack against it, adding your Drain die to the damage of the attack.

Might

Also at 2nd level, whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon that lacks the heavy or two-handed property, you gain 1 streak. Your maximum streak equals your proficiency bonus. You lose all your streak if you haven't attacked a creature since your last turn or if you are hit by an attack.

When your Streak reaches its maximum value, you can use a Might feature. You start knowing one Might Feature, learning more as you gain levels in this class. You learn more features whenever you gain a new use of this feature.

You start by knowing two Might Features: Execution, plus one feature of your choice.

You can use Might a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining the ability to do so after finishing a long rest.

Flames of Vengeance

At 2nd level, you cause additional fire damage with your melee weapon attacks equal to your current streak. The same creature can only take this additional damage once per turn.

Weapon Parry

At 3rd level, when a large or smaller creature hit you with a melee attack using a weapon, you can use a reaction to parry that attack. You must be wielding a melee weapon that lacks the heavy or two-handed property.

You reduce the damage of that attack by your own damage with that weapon + your Wraith Host level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Last Chance

Flames of Vengeance

At 17th level, your additional fire damage from your Hit Streak feature is applied in all your attacks, instead of only once per turn.

Might

Execution

When you hit a creature with an attack, you cause additional 2d10 damage from your weapon's type. If the attack leaves your target with 5 hit points or less, that creature instantly dies. The amount of damage caused increases to 3d10 at 5th, 4d10 at 11th and 5d10 at 17th level.

Wraith Flash

As an Action, you cause an explosion that causes all creatures in a 10-foot radius to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the targets are stunned until the start of their turns. This also causes 1d4 force damage at 5th, 2d4 at 11th and 3d4 at 17th level.

Combat Drain

You can Drain a target as part of the attack. You cause additional drain damage and recover 1 additional Elf Shot at 5th, 11th and 17th levels.
