Death Knight

A pale dwarf, with skin cold as ice, raises his axe to meet the orc chieftan's own. The dwarf had single handedly carved a path through the orc's tribe, with a single goal on his mind. The orc hoped that the dwarf's energy would fade, and that the fight would be easy by the time he took the field, but the dwarf swung again and again, machinelike in his fury. Suddenly a blue rune lit above the dwarf's axe, and it swung with more force than ever, and the orc was unable to meet it.

A man clad in black plate armor strides through the disease ridden town. Flanked by undead bodygaurds, he fears no rebuttal from the meager townsfolk. Finding a corpse ridden with boils, he reaches down to inspect it. Satisfied with the speed at which his new plague rendered the town desecrated, he ordered his thralls to hunt down survivors. There will always be new diseases to test, and new victims to test them on.

Seeing her ally in danger, the elven warrior flung herself between them and the horde of goblins baring down on them. A whirling mass of bones moves to defend the pair, and tears the attacking horde asunder. Inspecting her ally's wounds, a red rune appears above her hand, and the wounds began to mend themselves. Satisfied with her work, she willed her weapon back to her. Suddenly her sword leapt from the ground, landed in her hand, and she sheathed it. It would be a long night, and there would be many more goblins ahead of them, and she'd be ready.

Sowers of Death

To say that a Death Knight is tied to death is to say a person is tied to food. They feel an unnatural drive to cause as much death and destruction as possible. Some fall to this desire, and become little more than monsters given mortal shell, but

others focus this desire to further their goals. Be it razing the countryside, or leading a rebellion agaisnt a tyrant, death follows Death Knights wherever they go.

Users of Dark Magic

An edgy name and tendency to kill, are far from a Death Knights only characteristics. They channel their dark magic through runes, small symbols that appear on the Death Knights weapons, armor, or even on their skin. By expending the latent power in the runes, the Death Knights can cause a number of magical affects.

Creating a Death Knight

When creating a Death Knight, consider how you obtained your dark powers. Death Knights use ancient runic magic, little of which is known or understood. Some learn their magic from dark tomes found in a lich's lair, ancient scrolls found in some dragon's den, or some return to life with knowledge from beyond the grave. Sometimes even near death experiences can trigger memories to surface from deep within the psyche of mortal men. Regardless of their source, the dark runic magic leads to many powers that some might consider... unnatural.

Fighting Style:

You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty, Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Runes

Starting at 2nd level, you learn to use Runes to fuel your powers. You have a total of 6 Runes. 2 of them are Blood Runes, 2 are Frost Runes, and 2 are Unholy Runes. You expend them on some class features and your Rune Empowered Attacks. Many attacks will call for specific kinds of runes, so learning to utilize them all effectively will be key. There is a fourth kind of Rune called a Death Rune, which you can get from certain abilities, these Death Runes count for any kind of Rune for any feature. You can never have more than 6 Runes, if a feature would give you runes, and that would put you over your total of 6, any additional Runes are lost. You regain all spent runes on a Long Rest.

Rune Empowered Attacks

At 2nd level you learn 3 Rune Empowered Attacks of your choice from the list at the end of the class description. When you gain certain Death Knight levels, you gain additional Rune Empowered Attacks of your choice as shown in the column of the Death Knight Table. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Rune Empowered Attacks you know and replace it with another Rune Empowered Attack that you could learn at that level.

Casting Spells: Some Rune Empowered abilities allow you to cast spells, and other ask you to maintain concentration. To cast one of those spells, you use its casting time and other rules, but you don't need to provide material or somatic components for it. If an ability requires you to maintain Concentration, you must Concentrate on it as though it were a spell.

Rune Empowered Attack Save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Constitution Modifier

Specialization

At 3rd level your powers begin to settle into a certain discipline. You learn to have a favor for one of your types of Runes, and begin to focus more into that type of magic. You choose either the Frost Specialization, Blood Specialization, or the Unholy Specialization. Frost Death Knights focus on the icy chill of the grave, and fighting their enemies in melee combat. Blood Death Knights generally focus on blood magics, healing themselves and allies, and debuffing their foes. Finally, Unholy Death Knights generally focus on poisons, diseases, and their undead minions.. Depending on what archetype you choose you get different abilities at 3rd, 7th, 11th, and 17th levels, as well as certain allowing access to certain Rune Empowered Attacks.

Runic Power

Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to harness Runic Power. Runic Power is the leftover remnants of magic that remain after you use a Rune. Whenever you spend a Rune(s), you gain 1 Runic Power for every Rune Spent. You may have up to 10 Runic Power maximum, and it is reset to 0 upon taking a Long Rest. Runic Power can be spent in a few ways. All Death Knights have Death Strike, your Archetype abilities that you gain at 3rd and 17th level use it, and some choices for Rune Empowered Attacks use it as well.

Death Strike

By spending 2 Runic Power when you land a weapon attack, you deal bonus necrotic damage equal to your Proficiency Modifier and regain hit points equal to twice that amount.

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th leveI, 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.

Blood Tap

Starting at level 6, you learn to quickly convert your unharnessed power into Runes. Whenever you take a Short Rest, you regain up to 2 spent runes. The regained Runes are Death Runes, and can be used as any Rune. Once you use this ability, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

On A Pale Horse:

At level 9 you learn a ritual to summon a worthy steed. It works as the Paladin spell “Find Steed” with a few modifications. The steeds type is undead, and anytime that you heal yourself while riding the steed, it is healed for the same amount as well. Finally if it would die it does not disappear, instead your may touch its corpse and expend 2 Runes (of any type) as an action. If you do so it regains half of its maximum HP. You can still use an action to make the steed disappear, whether it is ‘alive’ or not. Once you’ve cast the ritual, you may not do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

Tireless Undead

One thing you have learned from the undead, is their unending fortitude. Starting at level 10, whenever you finish a Short Rest, your Exhaustion level, if any, is reduced by one.

Raise Ally

At 14th level you become more skilled at manipulating the dead and nearly dead. You can use this ability on a creature that is unconscious or has died in the last minute. As an action select a creature within 30 ft, who’s level (or CR if the creature has one) is equal to or less than your level. The target loses the unconscious/dead condition for a number of rounds equal to your Constitution Modifier. If they were making Death Saving Throws they continue to do so, but they do not take automatic fails from being hit. The creature acts as if it had 1 HP for the duration. When the effect ends, the target returns to unconsciousness/dead. Once used, this ability can’t be used again until after a Long Rest.

Murderous Efficiency

At 15th level, you learn to feed on death. When you reduce a hostile creature to 0 HP, you regain a spent Rune. The returned Rune is a Death Rune, and can be used as any type of rune.

Empower Rune Weapon

At level 20 you learn to empower your weapon to its maximum. As a bonus action you regain 3 spent Runes and generate 3 Runic Power. At the beginning of your next 3 turns, you regain 1 spend Rune and generate 1 Runic Power. All regained Runes are Death Runes. You cannot use this ability again until you finish a Long Rest.

Specializations

There are two types of Death Knights, the ones that got strong, and the ones that die trying. The first category can be further divided up into 3 Specializations depending on which kind of runic magic they prefer. While all Death Knights have similar beginnings, they soon diverge into wildly different beasts once they hit 3rd level. Your choices are either Frost, Blood, or Unholy.

Frost Death Knight

Frost Strike

At 3rd level you learn Frost strike. When you declare the Attack action, using a melee weapon, you may spend 2 runic power to make an extra attack with one of your weapons. You must spend this 2 Runic Power before actually making any attacks. This extra attack covers the weapon in a brittle layer of ice, and deals Cold damage rather than any other type of damage the attack would normally do.

Pillar of Frost

Also at 3rd level you learn to channel the chill of the grave to strengthen your body. As a bonus action, you become covered in a light frost and you gain the following benefits for one minute. You have Advantage on STR Checks and Saving Throws, as well as dealing 1d6 extra cold damage on all melee attacks. After you use this ability, you cannot do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

Frost Presence

At 7th level you get Advantage on Saving Throws against Fear and Charm effects.

Frostscythe

At 11th level you learn to use your icy attacks against hordes of enemies. Whenever you land a melee weapon attack, if it did any Cold Damage, you may cause the attack to burst, causing another creature within 5ft of the target to take the same amount of Cold Damage.

Breath of Sindragosa

At 17th level you learn to channel the icy breath of Sindragosa. As an action you spend 2 Runic Power, and cause a torrent of icy wind to come forth from your lungs. You cause all creatures in a 15 ft cone in front of you to make a DEX Saving Throw. If they fail you deal 5d8 cold damage to them. At the beginning of your next turn you may choose to spend another 2 Runic Power to continue using this ability, but your next use does not require an action, you merely choose to use it during some part of your turn. This continues until you run out of Runic Power, you choose not to spend it, or 1 minute passes.

Blood Death Knight

Bonestorm

At 17th level you learn to spend runic power to create a whirlwind of bone to protect you. As an action, you spend 2 runic power to start the storm. It is centered on you, moves with you, and has a radius of 10 ft, lasting until the beginning of your next turn. All creatures within this radius must make a Dexterity Saving Throw or take 5d8 Necrotic damage, and you heal for the same amount (you may only heal from this ability once per turn). Any creature that enters or ends their turn there must also make a Dexterity Saving Throw or be affected. At the beginning of your next turn you may choose to spend 2 more runic power to continue using this ability. This continues until you run out of Runic Power, you choose not to spend Runic Power, or until 1 minute has passed. Once the storm ends, you cannot activate this again until the end of a Long Rest.

Unholy Death Knight:

Death Coil

Raise Ghoul

Also at 3rd you learn to summon a ghoulish pet to fight alongside you. It’s stats are at the back of the document. Add your proficiency bonus to the ghoul's AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls, as weIl as to any saving throws and skills it is proficient in. It takes its turn on your initiative, though unless commanded the only action it will take is the Dodge action. On your turn, you can mentally command the ghoul where to move (no action required by you). You can use a Bonus Action to command it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, or Help action. You can summon/desummon the Ghoul as an action, but if you dismiss it or it dies you cannot summon it again until you finish a long rest. Unlike a traditional “Animate Dead” spell, you do not need a dead body to summon it, it is a construct of your unholy magics.

Unholy Presence

Starting at 7th level, you have Advantage on saving throws against being poisoned (condition) or diseased, and resistance to poison damage.

Dark Transformation

Starting at level 11 you can use an action to temporarily pump up your ghouls power. It grows to Large, deals an extra 1d6 on all weapon attacks, and has resistance to all damage.
