Subclasses

Path of the Red Mist

The tactics of the Red Mist horde are some of the most vicious out there. So brutal are the Red Mist that generals must take care that their neck not be severed by a subordinate looking for a promotion.

Berserker's Call

3rd-level Path of the RedMist feature

Starting at 3rd level, your rage is so forceful, it calls creatures to fight you. When you enter your rage, and on each of your turns as a bonus action, you may force a creature within 30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failed save, that creature has disadvantage on attack rolls made against creatures other than you until the end of your next turn.

Battle Hunger

6th-level Path of the Red Mist feature

At 6th level, your thirst for battle is infectious, and those around you feel some of your same rage. When a creature within 10 feet of you makes a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier); a creature can choose to fail this saving throw if it wishes. On a failed save, that attack is made with advantage and all attacks made against that creature have advantage until the end of your next turn.

Counterhelix

10th-level Path of the Red Mist feature

Beginning at 10th level, whenever you are hit with a melee weapon attack, you may use your reaction to deal 2d6 of your choice of bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage to any number of creatures within 5 feet of you.

Culling Blade

14th-level Path of the Red Mist feature

At 14th level, you are more potent against creatures that are injured. Once per turn, when you hit with a melee weapon attack against a creature that is below half its hit point maximum, your attack deals an additional 1d12 damage of the weapon's type.

Oath of the Hidden Ones

The Hidden Ones have smiled upon you and your near fanatical desire for secrets and knowledge that cannot be sated. A paladin who takes the Oath of the Hidden Ones has access to powers far different from most paladins and is forever altered by them.

Tenets of Hidden Ones

The tenets of the Oath of the Hidden Ones hold a paladin to serve their will no matter what.

Seek Knowledge. The knowledge of the universe must be acquired at any cost.

Secrets are Power. Each secret gained unlocks another mystery.

Protect the Mysteries Don't allow your secrets to fall into the wrong hands.

Influence of the Hidden Ones

3rd-level Oath of the Hidden Ones feature

Starting when you take your oath, whenever you would restore hit points to a creature using spells or your Lay on Hands feature, you instead grant them the same amount of hit points as temporary hit points, as you envelop the creature in protective psionic energy. These temporary hit points last until the creature takes a long rest.

Additionally, whenever you would deal radiant damage, you deal psychic damage instead.

Oath Spells

3rd-level Oath of the Hidden Ones feature

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed in the Oath of the Hidden Ones Spells table. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how oath spells work.

Oath of the Hidden Ones Spells
Paladin Level Spells
3rd shield, snare
5th shadow blade, Tasha's mind whip
9th counterspell, intellect fortress
13th arcane eye, Otiluke's resilient sphere
17th contact other plane, wall of force

Channel Divinity

3rd-level Oath of the Hidden Ones feature

You gain the following two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class feature for how Channel Divinity works.

Meld. As a bonus action, you can use your Channel Divinity to warp your image and blend into the environment. For as long as you don't move, attack, or cast spells, you and anything you are wearing or carrying become invisible.

Psionic Burst. Immediately after you deal damage to a creature with your Divine Smite feature, you can use your Channel Divinity as a bonus action to cause a 15ft. cone of psychic energy to burst from your target in the direction opposite from you. When you do so, you deal psychic damage equal to a roll of 1d8 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) to all creatures in the cone.

Mind Temple

7th-level Oath of the Hidden Ones feature

Starting at 7th level, you have advantage on wisdom saving throws against spells. Additionally, any magic that would sense, access or modify your thoughts, memories or emotions has no effect on you.

As an action, you can extend this effect to all allies within 10 feet of you for 1 minute. When you do this, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Psionic Projection

15th-level Oath of the Hidden Ones feature

When you reach 15th level, you gain the ability to transport yourself through your psionic traps. After meditating for 1 minute, you can choose a Snare spell that has not been triggered yet (the spell has to have been cast by you and you must remember its location), you then teleport to the center of the circle along with anything you are wearing or carrying and the Snare is dispelled. Teleporting this way doesn't end your Meld Channel Divinity option.

Psionic Mastery

20th-level Oath of the Hidden Ones feature

The Hidden Temple has seen fit to reveal secrets no mere mortal can understand. As a bonus action, you can wield this ancient knowledge to immediately restore your Channel Divinity and gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

  • Your melee attacks have a reach of 10 feet.
  • If you end your Meld by attacking a creature, using your Divine Smite will force it to make an Constitution saving throw, using your Spell Save DC. On a failure, the creature is stunned until the start of your next turn.
  • If you spend the entire minute meditating, you can cast Plane Shift immediately after it ends. Casting Plane Shift in this way requires no material components if your target destination is the Material Plane or the Hidden Temple.

Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a 5th-level spell slot to do so.

Rogue

The Rogue class recieves a subclass and new exclusive feats in this section.

Roguish Archetype

At 3rd level, a rogue gains the Roguish Archetype feature, which offers you a choice of a subclass. The following option is available to you when making this choice: the Sister of the Veil.

Sister of the Veil

Through a process of divination, children are selected for upbringing by the Sisters of the Veil, an order that considers assassination a sacred part of the natural order. The Veiled Sisters identify targets through meditation and oracular utterances. They accept no contracts, and never seem to pursue targets for political or mercenary reasons. Their killings bear no relation to any recognizable agenda, and can seem to be completely random: A figure of great power is no more likely to be eliminated than a peasant or a well digger. Whatever pattern the killings may contain, it is known only to them. They treat their victims as sacrifices, and death at their hand is considered an honor.

Assassin's List

3rd-level Sister of the Veil feature

Each sister has a list of targets given to her by visions from the veiled oracles. The list initially has 4 names on it (decided by the DM) that stay in the list until the named creature dies, and each time you gain a level in this class, another name appears, but you can not gain more levels in this class if the list has 5 names or more.

When you make an ability check to help you find or reach one of your targets, you can roll your sneak attack dice and add the result to the roll. You can use this ability twice for each target, for example, after you roll this bonus twice while trying to find or reach a specific target, you can't do so again for that target.

Stifling Dagger

3rd-level Sister of the Veil feature

When you make a ranged attack using a thrown weapon that you are proficient with, the attack's range is increased by 10 feet.

Additionally, after you hit to a creature with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain advantade on your next melee weapon attack against that creature until the end of your next turn, and the creature's walking speed is reduced in half for that same duration.

Veiled Phantom

9th-level Sister of the Veil feature

You learn the Blur, Invisibility and Misty Step spells and can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus to cast one of these spells on yourself without requiring spell slots or material components. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

When you reach 13th level in this class, you also learn Nondetection, and on 17th level you learn Greater Invisibility.

Fan of Knifes

13th-level Sister of the Veil feature

As an action, you can perform a special attack. Choose a number of targets up to the amount of sneak attack dice you have, you make a separate ranged attack using thrown weapons against each target. As part of the same action, you can draw any amount of thrown weapons you need to make each attack.

You can deal sneak attack damage to all targets you hit, but it is halfed if you don't have advantage on the attack roll.

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

Assassin's Shadow

17th-level Sister of the Veil feature

Your communion with the Phantom Veil has become strong enough to let your spirit live on, long after your body has rot. If you die while you still have names on your list, you come back to life 1d3 days later as an assasin's shadow, even if you're already one.

As an assassin's shadow, you gain the following properties:

  • Your creature type is undead, you don't eat, drink, breathe or sleep, and you can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend that time in an immobile meditative state.

  • You can move through difficult terrain as if movingly through regular terrain, and you can move through creatures and solid objects as if moving through difficult terrain. If you end your turn inside an object or creature, you are pushed to the nearest unoccupied space and take 1d10 force damage.

  • You can't wear or carry any equipment. Your AC is 20 and when you make an attack, you can create a spectral version of a weapon that you are proficient with as part of the attack, this weapon vanishes after one minute.

  • No new names can appear in your list, and if your it has no names on it, your shadow starts to vanish into the afterlife and you die at the next dawn.

If you are subjected to an effect that brings you back to life, you lose these properties.

Feats

Shuriken Tosser

Prerequisite: Rogue of at least 1st level

  • You gain proficiency with the Great Shuriken if you don't already have it.

  • When you deal sneak attack damage to a creature on a ranged attack using a Great Shuriken, you can force it to make a strength saving throw or fall prone. The DC of the save equals the result of your attack roll.

  • When you score a critical hit on a ranged attack using a Great Shuriken, the weapon bounces to another target, make another ranged attack with the same weapon from the position of the first target.

Jasper Cirle Training

Prerequisite: Rogue of at least 1st level

The Jasper Circle offers many skills valuable to assassins and thieves.

  • You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice between Acrobatics, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth. Alternativelly you may choose to gain proficiency with a poisoners kit.

  • When you would deal sneak attack damage to a creature with a melee attack, you can instead choose to steal one object that you can see being caried by the target (but not in its hands), the object must weight no more that the total rolled in your sneak attack dice (in pounds) and you must have one free hand.

Smoke bomb. A smoke bomb can be used as ammunition for a sling. Alternatively, a creature can throw the smoke bomb up to a range of 20 feet as an action. When the bomb hits a solid surface, it creates a 15 feet radius smoke screen that heavily obscures the area, the radius of the smoke screen lowers by 5 feet each round as the smoke dissipates.

Sleeping dart. This dart can be used as ammunition for a blowgun or thrown as a regular dart and is filled with a potent paralyzing poison, called sleeping jasper.

Sleeping Jasper (Injury): This poison is generally made by the Jasper Cirle to aid in assassinations and kidnappings. A creature subjected to this poison becomes poisoned for 10 minutes, or half as much if its resistant to poison, if it is conscious it must succeed on a DC 14 constitution saving throw when first poisoned and at the end of each minute of the poison's duration or fall unconscious, on a success the creature stays conscious. The creature regains consciousness if it takes damage.

If you unsheathe this blade and there are no foes to slay, you must succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or attack the nearest creature to you.

If a creature's saving throw is successful, that creature is immune to the rapier's Fearless influence for the next hour.


Spells. The rapier has 20 charges and regains 2d8 + 8 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the rapier retains its +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls but loses all other properties. On a 20, the rapier regains 1d8 + 4 charges.

While holding this rapier, you can use a bonus action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your Charisma modifier for the spell save DC and spell attack bonus: searing smite (1 charge), thunderous smite (1 charge), wrathful smite (1 charge), branding smite (2 charges), blinding smite (3 charge), staggering smite (4 charges), banishing smite (5 charges).


Sentience. The Divine Rapier is a sentient neutral good weapon with an Intelligence of 15, a Wisdom of 8, and a Charisma of 20. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.

The weapon can speak speak, read and understand Common, and can communicate with its wielder telepathically. Its voice is inquiring and clear. While you are attuned it to, The Divine Rapier also understands every language you know.


Personality. The Divine Rapier can be incredibly persuasive but it never directly commands you to never back down from a fight. The Divine Rapier was originally created by a wish spell cast by a Djinni summoned by Dagult Neverember. Neverember wished for "a tool to defeat my enemies", but the rapier doesn't know who Dagult's enemies are, so whoever the wielder is fighting at the time may as well be his enemies. The Divine Rapier can be very simple and one track minded at times.

Templar Assassins are usually assigned solo missions to heist an item or object from secure locations, and sometimes to eliminate targets before they become a significant threat.
