\pagebreakNum # Shaman # A little town is being attacked and set on fire by creatures that nobody has ever seen. The guards can't take the creatures down, and everything seemed lost. Until, one young man in a black uniform with a golden pin in the collar appeared, and started summoning animals from his own shadow. Within minutes, all the creatures were gone, and there wasn't any bodies.
 
A big and strange man is sitting at a bar, enjoying a drink. This man doesn't wear armor, and all that he have as a weapon are 3 bars connected with chains. After a big monster attacked the town, all the fully-armed guards were severely injured, but the man that didn't wear armor was fine, with just minor wounds.
 
The reunion between the most important people in the kingdom was going on, and they're trying to decide how to deal with the great and evil wizard that is threatening them. Suddenly, a woman walks in, heading up to an empty seat at the table. None of the guards could stop her. She claimed that she could deal with the wizard. She didn't wield weapons, and didn't use magic. When asked if she really could do it, she said that it would be fine, because she was the strongest. Nobody ever heard from the wizard again.
 
The one thing all of them have in common is, all of them are Shamans. All shamans share the ability to use cursed energy, the energy that is created by the negative emotions that people have. Manipulating this energy also means they're the only ones that are able to exorcise curses, and keep the world safe from them. ### Versatile fighters A Shaman starts learning martial arts as soon as they can manipulate Cursed Energy. After developing their hand to hand combat with Cursed Energy, a Shaman learns to balance the usage of their melee combat with Cursed Techniques, to be the most effective they can when exorcising Curses, or when battling strong opponents. ### Cursed warrior Shamans were born with the burden to see cursed spirits, spirits that were so overwhelmed with bad emotions that they couldn't let go, and got attached to the physical world. Curses exist everywhere, and they usually don't cause any trouble, but when a curse is born too powerful, it may become a problem. \columnbreak ### Nature's Energy Shamans can feel the negative energy that leak from the normal people. Most of this energy gets attached to the world. ## Creating a Shaman #### Quick Build You can make a Shaman quickly by following these suggestions: First, Dexterity should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the Athlete background. *you must have a dexterity score of 13 and a constitution score of 13 to multiclass in or out of this class*

Some of the Cursed techniques are passed in the family, some from master to apprentice, and some even developed alone. At second level, you can choose your own at the end of the class. ## Ability Score Improvement When you reach 4th level, 7th, 12th, 17th, and 19th level, 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 Cursed Attack At 4th level, your reflex got better, and now you can execute a chain attack, empowered with Cursed energy. You may spend one Cursed point to deal one of those each turn.

A liberation of Cursed energy that happens 2,5 times stronger than normal and totally random. Whenever you land a critical hit, you may roll your damage and make it times 2.5, rounded up. If you land two Black Flashes in a row, your third attack (if you have a third attack) will have advantage. ## Reverse Cursed Technique At 7th Level, after developing your Cursed Energy, you got advanced enough to figure out how to multiply the negative proprieties of the Cursed Energy, and change them to positive. Mid battle, you may use a bonus action to use Hit Dies to heal yourself. You can use a number of hit dies equal to 2 times your proficiency bonus. When you spend all your Reverse Cursed Technique dice, you can't use this feature.

At the expanse of 10 Cursed points, you create a 5 ft radius area below your feet. While an enemy is inside this area, they can't use Cursed techniques or magic, and if you make a melee attack against them, it's an guaranteed hit, but not a guaranteed crit. If the attack roll is beneath the target's AC, the target takes half damage. To keep the Simple Domain active, you can't move on your turn. When you're inside somebody else's Domain Expansion, you may use a Simple Domain, then you roll a dexterity saving throw, if you win, you won't be affected by the Domain Expansion. If you lose, your Simple Domain is undone. ## Teletransportation circle At 14th level, you learned how to connect your Cursed energy with the Cursed energy of a place you've already been to.

You may define who can enter the barrier without having to pass it's DC and who cannot. * this barrier have an DC of 12 + your dexterity modifier + your proficiency modifier. \columnbreak # Cursed Techniques trees: Limitless ## Infinite At 2nd level, the infinite is one of the most ancient Cursed Techniques in the world. This techniques brings the concept of the infinity between two determined points to reality, so that anything that might approach the user is slowed to a point that seems frozen in place, or hitting a invisible barrier. While you have the infinite active and one attack is rolled against you, you may use your reaction and roll a d4 and subtract that number from the attack roll. If something other than an attack try to approach you, such as a rock falling on you, you may react doing a dexterity saving throw, and add your infinite die to the roll. * this die becomes a d6 at 7th, a d8 at 12th and a d10 at 17th level. * After 7th level, Whenever you need to roll a saving throw against a spell or a attack effect, you may add your infinite die to the roll. * After 12th level, whenever you succeed on a saving throw that would make you take half damage, you take no damage instead ## Six Eyes The six eyes is one of the rarest techniques in the world. You may have one of the strongest techniques in the shaman world, but it also have a payback. You must use a blindfold or sunglasses too dark for a normal person see through, if you don't use one for more than ten minutes, you get one level of exhaustion for each minute you spend without them. While your eyes aren't covered like that, you can't be surprised, and you can see as far as 1 mile. You can't be blinded. Even with a blindfold, you can see perfectly. * you gain Darkvision if you don't already have it. * after the 7th level, whenever an attack is stopped by your infinite, you instantly know where it came from, its properties and its origin, and if its an magic, you instantly know what magic and how it works perfectly. You also may detect poison or anything that may harm you. * at 17th level, you don't have to use your reaction to trigger the infinite.
* A user of the Limitless should permanently use a blindfold, to avoid exhaustion, but must remove when using the techniques involving the Limitless, except for the Infinite.

This is one of the hardest, because it narrows the speech of the user, making him choose a set of his favorite thing and only use those words to comunnicate. In Exchange for that, When you speak command words, they are powerful. * Your Cursed Word die, used for your Cursed Word damage starts as a d6. This die becomes a d8 at 7th level, a d10 at 12th and a d12 at 17th level. Any Cursed word that you utter that deals damage to the target ( Such as: "Crumble") is force damage. This damage starts at 1d6 and goes up at the expanse of Cursed points. For example. 1 Cursed Point/1d6; 2 Cursed Points/2d6; 4 Cursed Points/3d6. The target must make a constitution saving throw. On a successful roll, the target take half of the damage. ## Command words Your Cursed Speech also have uses other than inflicting direct damage on a target. At the expanse of 4 Cursed Points, you may utter the words "Don't move" to a living creature that can hear you. The target must make an wisdom saving throw. At a succeeded save, the target is struggling to move, so their speed is halved. At a failed throw, their speed is 0. This effect last until the next turn. ## Self-harm words At 5th level, your Cursed speech got more powerful, and your words can inflict more harm, but the payback has also grown. Whenever your target succeeds at a saving throw against your Cursed Speech, you may take damage to make the target fail the saving throw. The damage you must take changes depending on the feature you use. * Cursed Speech damage is half the damage you inflict. * Incapacitating Distortion damage is 3d6. * Cursed Lullaby damage is 2d8. * Organic Explosion damage is 5d8. * Gravitational collapsing damage is 8d6. * Self-Harm words won't work if the target rolls a natural 20. ## Incapacitating Distortion At 7th level, you discovered a way to incapacitate someone thats wielding a weapon against you. At the expanse of 8 Cursed points, you may utter the word "Twist", targeting specifically the arm / member they're using to hold the weapon. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. At a failed save, their arm / member is twisted, they take 4d6 force damage and can only be healed by magic. \columnbreak They also drop anything they're holding on that arm / member. On a succeeded save, the arm / member is superficially hurt, the target takes half damage and drops whatever they're holding, but they can still use that arm / member. ## Cursed Lullaby At 9th level, you gained more control over your Cursed energy. At the expanse of 10 Cursed Points, you may utter the word "Sleep" to any creature with the same size you have or smaller, then they must make an intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target is instantly unconscious. On a succeeded save, the target feels light-headed and have disadvantage in any roll against your Cursed speech until the next turn. If a 20 is rolled on the saving throw, you take 3d8 Force damage and the target is immune to your Cursed speech until the end of the next turn. ## Organic explosion At 12th level, you started applying more Cursed energy into your words, and you figured how to use all that to influence the same forces that move the World. At the expanse of 30 Cursed points and dealing 3 Cursed Speech damage dies to yourself, you may utter the word "Explode" to any living creature that can hear you, and use them to start a 30ft radius explosion. This explosion deals 10d8 Fire/Bludgeoning damage and anyone in the explosion's range must do a constitution saving throw. At a succeeded save, you take half damage. At a failed save, you have disadvantage at any saving throw against Cursed Speech in the next minute. The target at the center of the explosion also needs to make a constitution saving throw. At a succeeded save, they take half damage, and your explosion radius is reduced to 15ft. ## Gravitational collapsing At 14th level, your words can influence gravity almost as if you were a member of the gojo clan. Either way, you still are very powerful. At the expanse of 40 Cursed points and 4 Cursed speech damage dice to yourself, you may utter the word "Collapse" and deal 12d6 Force damage. The target must make a constitution saving throw. On a succeeded save, they take half damage, and aren't knocked prone. If your target rolls a 20 on their saving throw, they take no damage, and you take an additional half of the damage you're going to take.

* the Malevolent Shrine being summoned behind its user \pagebreakNum # Cursed technique trees: Cursed Marriage * You were Cursed to bear the Vengeful Cursed Spirit, Orimoto Rika. Rika was once promised to a powerful Shaman in marriage, but after her death, she was accidentally Cursed to stay with him. After the Curse was dissipated, the spirit of Rika could rest in peace, but the Vengeful Curse stayed with the Shaman as a Cursed technique, one that was passed on now to you. Rika has a personality of her own, she loves the user more than anything, and don't like when the user interacts with other females. Even if she doesn't like, the original user was able to make Rika take care of a little girl when she was hurt, proving that Rika will value her relationship with the user over anything. ## Rika's Body and Memory When choosing this Cursed technique tree at second level whenever you're wielding a martial weapon, this weapon becomes a Cursed Tool. A generic Cursed Tool's damage is a d8, and the weapon keep its reach and its features such as versatile. As a bonus action, you may call Rika to keep your weapons inside her body. Whenever a feature (Such as: Action Surge, Cursed Technique: Cleave or even a Blood Maledict), a Cursed Technique or even a spell (You must be able to access the spell with your shaman level by following the required level in the original caster's class) is used in favor or against you, you may spend 2 Cursed Points to store it in Rika's memory. You may also , as a bonus action, use any of Rika's memories for 1 minute. All this memories counts as bonus actions, and you may use a number of memories equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.

Whenever you fell the need to ask Rika for help, you may roll a d20 as an action, and, if you roll a number equal or lower than your Shaman level, Rika will come to aid you at the expanse of half your total Cursed Points. Rika's stats evolve with you, while you level up. Every time you roll a hit die to increase your max HP, you must also roll one of Rika's Hit die to increase her health. You also may increase her proficiency bonus as long as yours increase. Rika has her own initiative, and you may give her a command using your bonus action. Rika is very intelligent, and may complete simple task easily, and even some more complicated task (Dm's discretion). If Rika doesn't come to your aid, you can't call her again for 1 minute. \columnbreak ## Rika's Cursed energy At 7th level, you learned that, even if Rika can't aid you directly, she can still lend you her Cursed energy to imbue your weapon.

For most Domain Expansions, a sealed barrier is at the limit of the Domain, sealing whoever is inside and out. Some Domains don't have a barrier, either because they're incomplete or because they're special in some way (Just like the Malevolent Shrine, that pushes itself within our reality). If two Shamans that are cooperating expand their domains at the same time, the Barrier that seals the outside will be only from the Domain with the biggest range, but the effects are still limited to the Domain's original range, starting from the user. If the two Shamans are enemies, when they expand their Domains, they start a dispute for territory. After that, they should roll for a dispute. This roll is calculated the following: + dexterity modifier + constitution modifier + proficiency bonus. The winner pushes the loser, that will have the range of their Domain halved. After that, they proceed with their turn as normal. On the next loser's turn, they must re-roll. If the previous winner wins, the loser gets their Domain completely dismantled, and trapped in the enemies Domain. if the previous loser wins, their Domain get back to normal and back to square one. The loser isn't affected by the winner's Domain until someone's domain is dismantled. If three or more shamans attempt to expand their domains at the same time, even if they are cooperators, they must succeed a DC (12 + the number of shamans trying to expand their Domain) dexterity saving throw to be able to expand their domain. If the three shamans succeed, the barrier around the domains breaks, and all shamans are susceptible to each other domain's effects. ## Shaman's Grade Shamans are categorized in different grades, to represent their power and their capability to defeat powerful foes. The grades goes as following, from the weakest to the strongest: Forth-Grade, Semi-Third-Grade, Third-Grade, Semi-Second-Grade, Second-Grade, Semi-First-Grade and First-Grade. Anyone that is categorized as Forth-Grade is considered "weak" in the Shaman society, and anyone above Semi-Second-Grade is considered strong. Besides all this categories, there is an extra one. A Special-Grade Shaman is someone that is at the top of the Shaman society, and very few receive this grading. Being a Special-Grade means you have a great power, but also a great responsibility. Most times, Special-Grade Shamans are considered to be a one-man army. \columnbreak ## Binding Vows A Binding Vow is a pact made between two parties or you with yourself. The objective of a Binding Vow is to make a deal that neither of the parties can escape. Anyone with Cursed energy can suggest a Binding Vow. To create a binding vow, you must state what you want and what you offer. If both parties agree, the binding vow is created. If any of the parties fails to honor their word, The Cursed energy involving the binding vow will punish (At the DM's discretion) the untrue mentally and/or physically. A Binding Vow made with itself is different. For example, your Dexterity score is 17, you make a Binding Vow that, while outside combat, your Dexterity score count as 15, but while in battle count as 19. (Be sure to agree with your DM before implementing a Binding Vow on your character. A Binding Vow always benefits you in something while taking something away.) ## Cursed Energy Checks Cursed energy is a natural energy that exists within the world, mostly created by humans. While a Shaman use Dexterity to attack rolls involving Cursed energy, such as Cursed Strikes, any moment a Shaman tries to recall information about Cursed energy or Curses, they must roll a Intelligence (Arcana) check. ## Ten shadows Techniques challenge Whenever a Ten shadows Techniques Shaman hit higher levels, they need to challenge the shikigamis before being able to summon them. To Summon a shikigami for battle, the Shaman must state that they will start a battle against determined shikigami. The Shaman can ask for help from companions. Before the battle start, the Shaman must explain how the summoning works. After defeating the shikigami with the companions that were stated before battle, the Ten Shadows Technique Shamans becomes able to summon this shikigami. If someone that wasn't stated as a challenger before the battle interfere, the shikigami, even if defeated, won't be able to be summoned. ## Cursed Techniques Components Cursed Techniques need somatic components to be activated, as well as Domain Expansions, so if both Shaman's hands are unavailable, they won't be able to activate their Cursed Technique. Users of the Cursed Speech Technique don't need to use somatic components, but need to use vocal components.
