Those who'd harm the realm further are cut down one by one in a flurry of steel by a figure draped in black. Two black figures surround a ferocious beast, one wielding a blade like a talon, the other rending the beast with claws, working together to take down the formidable foe in tandem. Cloaked in shadows, a figure receits ancient spells, raining destruction on the battle field as a haunting specter keeps the legion of invaders busy. Those who survive the ordeal will have nightmares for the rest of their days. The Reaper is an avenger whose goals are achieved through the assistance of the void, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Just as a wicked force destroyed their lands, they've taken up arms to bring destructive balance to the world. ### In the Wake of Destruction When disaster strikes and countless lives are lost, voidsent are attracted to intense scent of death and the residual aether of the corpses. Seeking to sate their endless hunger for magical energy they appear in these death laden lands. Sometimes unlikely alliances are born from these disasters as those who would seek the power to take revenge for the loss of life promise these scavenging voidsent further nourishment, if they'd only only lend their power to them. Together they set off on a path of destruction to hold those in power accountable at any cost. ### Dark Vows Reapers draw their power from their contract with their special voidsent ally, the Void Avatar. Using the gift of some kind of macabe momento to channel dark magics, Reapers mix martial prowess with magic pulled from the void itself to bring destruction to evil doers. ### Creating a Reaper When creating a reaper, you must consider how they came upon the voidsent that they would form their alliance with. Did they survive a grave disaster? Were they a traveller who was too late to protect the razed location? Perhaps they merely stumbled upon the scene and wanted to stop it from happening again. Whatever their reason, the Reaper has tossed away sentiments of right and wrong and seek only to take retribution for those who have suffered greatly. You must also consider where they've learned to balance their martial prowess with dark magics. Has the voidsent imparted more than just arcane arts to the warrior? Did they have a mentor who helped them harness their rage and focus it on the single minded quest for vengeance? The reaper has many talents and combines new found power with them to become the deadly avenger they wish to be. \pagebreakNum <img src='https://www.gmbinder.com/images/N9kxsmR.jpg' style='position:absolute; bottom:-40px; right:-30px; width:850px' /> <div class='classTable wide'> ##### Reaper | Level | Proficiency Bonus | Features | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | |:---:|:---:|:---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 1st | +2 | Dark Alliance | — | — | — | — | — | | 2nd | +2 | Fighting Style, Spellcasting | 2 | — | — | — | — | | 3rd | +2 | Reaper Archetype, Veil of Shadows | 3 | — | — | — | — | | 4th | +2 | Ability Score Improvement | 3 | — | — | — | — | | 5th | +3 | Extra Attack | 4 | 2 | — | — | — | | 6th | +3 | Sixth Sense | 4 | 2 | — | — | — | | 7th | +3 | Archetype Feature | 4 | 3 | — | — | — | | 8th | +3 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 3 | — | — | — | | 9th | +4 | Reaper Art: Reaping Rondo | 4 | 3 | 2 | — | — | | 10th | +4 | Reaper Art: Momento Mori | 4 | 3 | 2 | — | — | | 11th | +4 | Archetype Feature | 4 | 3 | 3 | — | — | | 12th | +4 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 3 | 3 | — | — | | 13th | +5 | Shadow Walk | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | — | | 14th | +5 | Void Gaze | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | — | | 15th | +5 | Archetype Feature | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | — | | 16th | +5 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | — | | 17th | +6 | Reaper Art: Dark Martyrdom | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | | 18th | +6 | Plane Shift | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | | 19th | +6 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | | 20th | +6 | Vessel of Death | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | </div> ### Quick Build You can make a Reaper quickly by following these suggestions.

Drawn to your location due to massive loss of life, you've formed a contract to borrow power from the voidsent and received a momento from it to symbolize your contract. You can review their stats in the statblock below. In combat, the voidsent acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the voidsent to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the voidsent can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. When the voidsent is killed, its essence returns to your momento. You can use your action to touch your momento and expaned a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The voidsent regains its form after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. When you finish a long rest, you may resummon your voidsent from its momento.

See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Reaper spell list. #### Preparing and Casting Spells The Reaper table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expand 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 Reaper spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Reaper spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Reaper spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Reaper 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 Reaper, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare teh 1st-level spell *cure wounds* 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 Reaper spells requires time spent in study and review: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. #### Spellcasting Ability Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Reaper spells. The power of your spells comes from your thorough research and preparation into aetherology. You use your Intelligence whenever a Reaper spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Reaper spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. <center> **Spell save DC = 8** + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier **Spell attack modifier =** your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier </center> #### Ritual Casting You can cast a Reaper spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use your momento from the voidsent as a spell casting focus for your Reaper spells. \pagebreakNum ### Fighting Style Choose one of the following options.
