Godhunter Class by

## Godhunter
A human priest drops his mace and rushes to the side of his dying comrade. He offers a prayer to Bahamut, pleading for a spell, any spell, to heal his friend —but no answer came. Before the priest could even ask himself why, a wave of freezing air blasted into him. In a fit of panic he called out once more, and again there was no answer. In his last moments, all he could think was that his god had forsaken him.

A drow crusader heard the sound of unknown footsteps echoing in the tunnels of the underdark, so she alerted her allies and prepared an ambush. As she laid in wait, she couldn't help but think of all the things she could do to her new slave. Once she saw the human man she rushed out to attack. Too bad for her, he'd already participated in this song and dance before. As she rushed him his contingent spell went into effect, creating a burst of flame around him. As her strike was about to connect she could feel the divinity in her blade sputter out, as if she had angered her goddess somehow. She didn't have much time to question this, as a lightning bolt struck her and continued to arc throughout the passage.

Feared by the masses and often killed due to it, godhunters are students of the arcane who would hunt down the servants of gods, slaying any who would show deviance from the path that the godhunter defines as right. To fight their battles a godhunter uses corrupting magics once though lost to time, magics inspired by spells similar to Karsus' Avatar. Although using spells of that caliber are no longer possible, the spells inspired by it are still quite potent.

### Soul-Binding Magic
While most enchantment spells simply affect either the mental or physical state of someone or something, the magic used to create a godhunter is entirely different. The spell binds itself to one's soul and cannot be reversed by any method known to man. A caster with this magic bound to their soul will find they can augment their spells to have a corrupting aspect to them. Though, the usage of this augmentation is limited by one's own vitality.

### A Bloody Path
The life of a godhunter is one of pain and bloodshed. They will find no allies of any church, nor will the common man help them if their powers are discovered. Once their abilities are found out a godhunter is usually sentenced to either exile or death (most often the latter). It is for these reasons that most godhunters do their work away from prying eyes when at all possible. Still, complications often arise wherever a godhunter is concerned, and because of this godhunters seek to pass on their magic to keep it alive.

### Creating a Godhunter
As you create a godhunter there are numerous aspects of your character you should consider. For example, what caused your character to even consider to become a godhunter? Were they consumed by a burning desire for something? So much so that they would choose to give up all chances at a normal life? Did they know what they were getting into? Were they even given a choice in the matter?

\columnbreak

Why would you fight against the gods and their servants? Do you believe them to be corrupt? Did they harm your loved ones? Is it the only purpose you have in life? Is it for the thrill of battle? Have you ever even asked that? Perhaps you were harmed by a member of the church and it left you scarred forever. Perhaps you yourself don't even know the answer as to why you fight.

Consider how you feel about your magic. Do you relish in the potential you have? Do you feel that this magic is simply a burden? Perhaps you hate it and view it as a curse. Maybe you are indifferent to it. It's also possible you simply see it as a means to an end.

Next consider who the person who granted you their secrets is, as well as why they did it. Did they take you on as a student? Were they simply a, friend or mentor? Were they family? Did they grant you their powers out of desperation? Maybe out of a sense of duty? Perhaps you pestered them until they did. What is your relationship to them now? Are they alive? Dead? Do you even know?

### Quick Build
You can make a godhunter quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. If you plan to take the Celestial Slayer archetype make Dexterity your next best score. Second, choose the sage background. Third choose the *fire bolt*, *light* and *mage hand* cantrips, along with the following 1st-level spells for your spell crest *blinding bolt*, *detect divinity*, *detect magic*, *mage armor*, *magic missile*, and *shield*.

## Class Features
As a Godhunter, you gain the following class features
#### Hit Points
___
- **Hit Dice:** 1d6 per godhunter level
- **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 6 + your Constitution Modifier
- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution Modifier per godhunter level after 1st

#### Proficiencies
___
- **Armor:** None
- **Weapons:** Simple Weapons
- **Tools:** None

___
- **Saving Throws:** Constitution, Intelligence
- **Skills:** Choose two from Arcana, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Religion

#### Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- *(a)* a Mace or *(b)* a Quarterstaff
- An arcane focus
- *(a)* a Scholar's Pack or *(b)* an Explorer's Pack
- Any Simple Weapon, Two Handaxes

### Spellcasting
As a student of arcane magic, you have a spell crest containing spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power. See chapter 10 of the Players Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting, and page 5 of this document for the godhunter spell list.

#### Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the godhunter spell list. You learn additional godhunter cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the godhunter table.

#### Spell crest
At 1st level, you have a spell crest containing six 1st-level godhunter spells of your choice. Your spell crest is a physical mark representing spells within your body, and also the repository of the godhunter spells you know, except your cantrips, which are fixed in your mind.

A spell crest appears as a unique mark of some sort on the godhunter's body, and while similar in function to a wizard's spellbook, it cannot be destroyed. The godhunter's crest will simply fade away and appear on a different part of the body.

\pagebreakNum

#### Preparing and Casting Spells

The Godhunter table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your godhunter spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of godhunter spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the godhunter spell list. When you do so, choose a number of godhunter spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your godhunter level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level godhunter, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination chosen from your spell crest. If you prepare the 1st-level spell burning hands, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of godhunter spells requires time spent studying your spell crest and recalling the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

#### Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your godhunter spell, since you learn your spells in a similar way as wizards do: through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a godhunter spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a godhunter spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

\columnbreak
 
#### Ritual Casting
You can cast a godhunter spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

#### Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your godhunter spells.

#### Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher
Each time you gain a godhunter level, you can add two godhunter spells of your choice to your spell crest for free. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Godhunter table.

On your adventures, you might do research into other godhunter spells in an attempt to modify your spell crest, and add them to your repertoire of spells. To begin, one must find a spell scroll or spellbook containing the requisite spell you wish to add. Once found a godhunter can spend two hours per spell level to attempt to add the spell to their spell crest. At the end of this period you must make an Intelligence ability check, with the DC equal to 10 + the spell's level. On a successful ability check you add the spell to your spell crest. On a failed ability check the spell is not added to your spell crest, and you cannot attempt to add this spell again until a year passes or you gain an additional level in this class.

### Counter Divinity
Also at 1st level the magic you cast can corrupt even the divine. Whenever you cast a spell using your spellcasting feature that affects a creature with a link to the divine, you can force that creature to make a constitution saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failed save that being loses any abilities that rely on divinity for up to a minute. A list of these abilities can be found in the Counter Divinity sidebar. At the end of each of their turns a creature affected by this ability may choose to repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on a success. This ability has no effect if the target has no divine abilities.

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum 1), regaining all uses after taking a short or long rest.

### Executioner's Quarry

### Suppress Divinity
At 18th level, your counter divinity feature can be used to fully suppress divine magic. Any creature affected by your counter divinity feature that fails its save each round for one minute loses its divine powers for 24 hours.

### Hastened Recovery
Finally, at 20th level, you have learned to quickly recover your ability to counter the divine. When you roll initiative and have no uses of your *counter divinity* feature left you regain one use.

## Godhunter's Quarry
The specialty of every godhunter is at least slightly different, but they typically fall under one of three categories: Cleric's Bane, Crusade Ender, or Celestial Slayer.

### Cleric's Bane
Godhunters who would hunt down and kill clerics adopt the title "Cleric's Bane," and are suited for toning down the effectiveness clerical healing spells.

#### Stunted Regeneration
Starting when you choose this archetype at 2nd level, you have learned to use your powers to reduce the effects of your enemy's healing magic. When a creature under the effects of your *counter divinity* feature would regain hit points through magical means they regain half as many hit points instead.

#### Cleric's Demise
Beginning at 6th level, the potency of your powers increases. Whenever you deal damage to a creature under the effects of your *counter divinity* feature, you extend the maximum duration of the feature by 1 round.

#### Healer's Retribution
At 10th level, you have learned to punish those who would heal your foes. When a creature within 30 feet of you casts a spell which causes either them or another creature to recover hit points, you may use your reaction to use your *counter divinity* feature on the spell's caster.

#### Halted Regeneration
At 14th level, your powers completely stop the regenerative powers of healing magic. Creatures under the effect of your *counter divinity* feature cannot regain any hit points through magical means.

\pagebreakNum

### Crusade Ender
Godhunters who would hunt down and kill paladins adopt the title "Crusade Ender," and are well suited for defending themselves against the devastating srikes of paladins.

#### Arcane Resilience
When you choose this archetype at 2nd level, your magic adapts itself to become more defensive in nature. Your hit point maximum increases by 2 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class. Additionally, you gain resistance to radiant damage.

#### Unwavering Concentration
Starting at 6th level, you've taken enough hits to know your how to power through the pain. You have advantage on Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on any spell you cast.

#### Heretical Defense
At 10th level, your heretical training pays off when up close and personal with your foes. When an enemy within 5 feet of you hits you with an attack, you may use your reaction to use your *counter divinity* feature on them.

#### Essense Absorbtion
At 14th level, you have learned to absorb a portion of the divine power you take from others. Whenever you successfully use your *counter divinity* feature you gain temporary hit points equal to your godhunter level.

### Celestial Slayers
Godhunters who  would hunt down and kill Celestials adopt the title "Celestial Slayer," and are suited for physical confrontations as well as magical to better fight angels and the like.

#### Weapon Training
When you take this archetype at 2nd level, you have trained with weapons enough to become proficient in them, and use them to cast spells. You gain proficiency with martial weapons and can use them as an arcane focus. You can also cast spells, even those with somatic components, with a weapon in one or both hands.

#### Slayer's Trance
Also when you chose this archetype at 2nd level, you have trained yourself to fight by going into a trance where your physical combat prowess is dramatically improved. You can enter slayer's trance as a bonus action, and it lasts for 1 minute. When you are in your slayer's trance you gain the following benefits:

-  You gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1).
-  You can use your intelligence modifier instead of strength or dexterity for attack and damage rolls.
-  You can use your counter divinity feature whenever you hit a creature with a weapon attack.
___
You can use this feature twice, regaining all uses upon taking a short or long rest.

\columnbreak

#### Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

#### Quick Counter
At 10th level, you have learned to swiftly counter any attempts at damaging you. Whenever a creature within 30 feet of you deals damage to you while you are using your *slayer's trance* feature, you may use your reaction to use your *counter divinity* feature on them.

#### Angel's Downfall
At 14th level, your corrupting power also damages your foes. Whenever you successfully use your *counter divinity* feature you may deal force damage to that target equal to your godhunter level.

### Empowered Connection
For the most part, the *counter divnity* feature is designed to work on every creature empowered by the divine. Still to some it wouldn't make sense that a level 1 godhunter could take away a level 20 cleric's connection to their god. If there is a large discrepancy between player's character levels and enemy's level or challenge rating consider using this rule.

Before having a creature roll their constitution saving throw against *counter divinity*, calculate the difference in level/CR between parties. Then, roll a regular d20. If the result is equal to or greater than the difference in level/CR then make the saving throw. If the result is lower then the *counter divinity* has no effect.

### Spellbook
If you or your DM doesn't like the way that spell crests work, consider using a spellbook (the rules of which are found on page 114 of the Player's Handbook) instead.

### Multiclassing
As stated on page 1, normally there's no turning back from being a godhunter, so most will embrace it until their inevitable death. Still, from a player's perspective this might not be fun, so here is the list of prerequisites for, and proficiencies gained from multiclassing.
##### Prerequisites:
- Constitution & Intelligence 13
- No levels in Cleric, Paladin, Sorcerer (Divine Soul Only), or Warlock (Celestial Only)
- No celestial ancestry (Aasimar)
##### Proficiencies
- Simple Weapons

 Thank you to @RebelInTreble on twitter and instagram for making this process quite a bit easier on me. Whether through telling me when I needed to chill and take a breather, helping me brainstorm, or by simply being there to play D&D with me.
