Revenant

A lone tengu stalks his target: A carriage, behind which trails a cage containing exotic beasts. He disappears into the shadows, reappears right between the carriage and the cage, and waves a whirling storm to encase the carriage in jade as he slices through the cage's bars.

A horde of monsters corners a sylvari and his allies into the end of a cliff. The spectre of an ancient centaur appears for a moment above the sylvari's head as a tablet coalesces into existence in front of him. The sylvari runs ahead, the tablet closing every wound that he and his allies receive.

An asura's large eyes glow a bright purple as black, inky tendrils sprout all over their body. The figure of the asura is swallowed by the dark shell of a six-eyed demon, and for a moment, they survey the battlefield before them, a ghost of a grin breaking the press of their thin lips. The battlefield is ripe for feasting, and they will consume the anguish of their enemies.

A norn decides to make her last stand with her back against the ruin's walls. She speaks with a nearly-perceptible figure standing beside her, biding her time. She lets out a battle cry when her enemies finally catch up to her, her skin turning into stone.

A charr nimbly leaps out of a wyvern's fiery breath. She pants, her vision blurring for a moment, and roars. The ghost of another charr appears before her, and then the spirit eagerly showers the wyvern with bolts of energy.

A human, surrounded by enemies on all sides, lets out a roar of defiance. Behind him, a specter of a dragon appears for but a moment and beats its great, crystalline wings, knocking their enemies flat on the ground.

Revenants are all warriors who harness the power of the Mists. They have forged connections to echoes of ancient, legendary figures from the Mists to aid them in the battlefield.

Bridges to the Past

The Mists is an all encompassing proto-reality, a thing that spans all worlds and all time in the universe. Everything exists in a pocket of the Mists. It is both the home of the living, and the abodes of both gods and the dead. All that has happened, happens, and will happen take place in the Mists too.

Revenants are more attuned to the Mists than anyone else. They can make their way around its muddles of time, past the world of the dead and the lairs of gods, guided only by instinct and the will to go on. Somewhere in its pockets they come to echoes of powerful spirits like moths flying to a flame.

Adept Combatants

All revenants are warriors by nature. They are adept at handling the greatest of swords to the shortest of bows, and they have a myriad of styles that suit their preferences in combat.

However, while revenants share a lot of similarities with one another, they are ultimately shaped by the spirits that they channel.

Revenants who are attuned to angrier, more malevolent spirits garner no small degree of fear and hatred from their enemies, and sometimes, even from their closest allies: They are unpredictable in the battlefield, their attacks wild and aggressive. Those who are aided by gentler, more benevolent specters are admired and respected, and their mere presence in the battlefield can calm even their own enemies. No matter the style or spirit that the revenant brings into the party, they are reliable and dependable to people they trust.

INFORMATION | REVENANT

Quick Build

You can make a revenant quickly by following these suggestions. First, Strength should be your highest ability score, followed by Charisma. Second, choose the soldier background. Third, take Great Weapon Fighting Style and the Dwarf and Demon Legendary Stances.

Mist Mark

The Mists can sometimes leave physical marks on anyone who has traveled repeatedly in it. Some of these marks are small and discreet, tucked away from sight, but others cascade through the body that they cannot help but be noticed.

Your revenant might choose to keep any reminder of their travels to the Mists under wraps. Alternatively, your revenant might flaunt their Mist Mark as a trophy, proof that you have made it to the Mists and came back alive.

Pact

One revenant's journey into the Mists is different from the other. Some sought power; others looked for answers, or for valued memories that they can no longer remember. Regardless of the nature of their journey, they have somehow come into a pact with a remnant of an ancient, long-dead figure of the past, and this has changed their life forever.

When you consider the creation of this pact, also consider the following: What is your connection to the spirit? How do they see a mortal connected to them like you?

Sanctuary

Over the millenia, mortals and spirits alike have built havens that provide sanctuaries to anyone who has lost their way in the Mists.

When your revenant travels to the Mists, either to talk to friendly spirits or to search for ancient, powerful ghosts, you can provide yourself with a temporary safe place to avoid unwanted attention. Your sanctuary may be dark and devoid of life, or warm and feeling every bit like home.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Protection

When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

Two-Weapon Fighting

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Preparing Traits

You can change your list of traits when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of traits requires time spent in meditation: at least 1 minute per trait on your list.

You use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a stance feature and when making an attack roll with one.

Enchanted Daggers

At 3rd level, Shiro Tagachi grants you his enchanted jade daggers. You can make a ranged spell attack against a creature within 30 feet of you as a bonus action. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 slashing damage. The dagger then returns to the Mists and disappears.

The dagger's damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 10th level (2d4) in this class.

Aggressive Agility

Starting at 3rd level, you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks that you make when you encounter difficult situations while traveling across natural terrain or pursuing a creature, such as attempting to climb the wall of a building or trying to run across a sheet of ice.

Phase Traversal

By 6th level, you can forego one of your attacks when you take the Attack action on your turn and teleport up to your remaining movement speed to an unoccupied space that you can see.

Assassin's Presence

At 6th level, you and friendly creatures within 30 feet of you can walk stealthily at a normal pace after traveling for an hour or more.

Riposting Shadows

At 10th level, you can use a reaction to teleport into the Mists when you are hit by an attack or fail a saving throw against any effect that deals damage or causes you to be paralyzed, petrified, or stunned.

You return from the Mists at the start of your next turn, appearing at an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of the space you vanished from. If no unoccupied space is available within that range, you appear in the nearest unoccupied space (chosen at random if more than one space is equally near). After returning from the Mists in this manner, you gain advantage on the next attack roll that you make before the end of your turn.

Impossible Odds

At 14th level, you can use a bonus action to ask Shiro Tagachi to grant you the following benefits for 1 minute, or until you either dismiss them (no action required) or lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell):

• You can make one more attack when you take the Attack action on your turn.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Jade Winds

At 18th level, Shiro Tagachi allows you to summon the Jade Winds as an action. The Jade Winds whirl 30 feet around you in all directions. All creatures caught in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw.

On a failed save, the creature takes 4d6 bludgeoning damage and is stunned until the end of your next turn. Your weapon attacks ignore resistance and treat immunity as resistance on a creature stunned in this manner. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't stunned.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Project Tranquility

At 3rd level, Ventari grants you a copy of his tablet. The tablet appears at the closest unoccupied space within 30 feet of you whenever you use the Centaur Legendary Stance. It sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet, is immune to all damage and conditions, and hovers 1 foot above the ground for as long as the stance is active. Friendly creatures within 10 feet of the tablet have advantage on Wisdom saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

It disappears if it is more than 30 feet from you at the end of your turn or if you dismiss it (no action required). You can use an action to summon Ventari's tablet.

As a bonus action, you can move Ventari's tablet to an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you and heal all friendly creatures within 10 feet of it for 1d4 hit points. The tablet's healing increases by 1d4 when you reach 10th level (2d4) in this class. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Vital Blessing

You can use a reaction to deflect a ranged attack that hits a friendly creature within the barrier.

Words of Censure

By 6th level, whenever you make a Charisma (Persuasion) check when interacting with evil-aligned creatures, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

Natural Harmony

By 10th level, you can use an action to make Ventari's tablet store its healing energy for 1 minute. When it ends, either because your concentration is broken, because you swapped stances, or because you decide to end it, the tablet sends a pulse of energy that heals all friendly creatures within a 30-foot radius sphere centered around it.

The tablet can initially heal 10 hit points in this manner. For every turn where your concentration is not broken, its healing increases by 5.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Purifying Essence

At 14th level, you can use an action to end one condition or harmful effect on each friendly creature within 30 feet of Ventari's tablet.

All creatures of your choosing within 60 feet of the tablet must succeed on a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d6 force damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage as isn't pushed away.

The shockwave ends grants temporary hit points equal to your revenant level. Ventari's tablet is then lost.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Empowering Misery

At 3rd level, whenever you take damage from an attack, you can use a reaction to make a melee weapon attack against a creature within range. On a hit, the creature takes an additional 1d4 necrotic damage.

The damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 10th level (2d4).

Acolyte of Torment

Starting at 3rd level, you learn to read Abyssal, but you can't speak or write it.

Pain Absorption

At 6th level, whenever you see a friendly creature within 30 feet of you take damage or receive a harmful effect, you can use a reaction to transfer that damage or effect to yourself.

The damage that you received in this manner cannot be reduced or prevented in any way.

Banish Enchantment

Call to Anguish

At 14th level, you can use an action to move up to your movement speed to an unoccupied space that you can see. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. As part of this action, you let out a roar that shakes the hearts of creatures within 30 feet of you. Creatures within 30 feet of you who can see and hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw.

On a failed save, the creature uses their reaction to move up to their movement speed unwillingly towards you and attack the nearest creature (other than you) that they can see.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Embrace the Darkness

At 18th level, you can as a bonus action to gain the following benefits for 1 minute or until you either dismiss them (no action required) or lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell):
