Revision as of 16:00, 15 June 2023

This is a Bogeyman subclass.

The wild hunt races through the night, honest folk mumble prayers behind locked doors while the huntsman chases his prey.

You are a changeling, an imposter, or suffer from a bargain or curse of the fey. You live your life pretending to be a humanoid, while you are actually a child of the Winter Court. Unseelie are skilled with weapons, giving them the respect of warriors and making them less reliant on the dark strike.

Source: Original.

Changeling

You are a creature of winter night. Your creature type changes to fey. You have antlers, and your skin is the texture of bark, wood, or ice. Withered leaves and evergreen plants crown your head, and you may occasionally leave a dead leaf or twig behind.

Your Dark Strike is an attack with antlers that inflicts piercing damage.

Poseur

You are a skilled warrior and gain proficiency with all martial weapons. You also learn to cast Disguise Self as a ritual spell with a duration of 1 hour per level.

Master Hunter

At 3rd level you become a master hunter. You learn the Survival skill. If you already know this skill, you learn another skill of your choice instead. When you take the Attack or Dash action, you can make an additional Dark Strike attack with your antlers as a bonus action.

Winter Spirit

At 6th level you gain resistance to cold, electrical, and thunder damage. You also gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, but magical and iron weapons ignore this resistance. Since most weapons of war are made of iron, this mainly protects against natural attacks, but it will protect against the occasional thrown rock or wooden club.

Imposter

Starting at 7th level, you learn to cast Disguise Self and Alter Self at will. Charisma is your spellcasting ability. You learn the Deception skill. If you already know this skill, you learn another skill of your choice instead.

Wild Hunt

Beginning at 11th level, you can spend an action to magically call 2d6 Wolves or Swarms of Ravens. The called creatures arrive at the end of your turn, acting right after you and obeying your spoken commands, this does not require any action on your part. If you or they are touched by sunlight they disappear. The beasts otherwise remain for 1 hour, until reduced to zero hit points, or until you dismiss them as a bonus action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all uses when you end a long rest. When you reach 15th level, you call 4d6 wolves or swarms of ravens.

Flush Prey

At 15th level when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can use the Monster Scare ability as a bonus action, affecting the creature hit and all enemies within 10 feet of it who can see you.

Sky Lord

When you reach 20th level, you master the fury of the blizzard. You can cast Control Weather as a ritual. All your weapon attacks inflict an additional d10 cold damage.

The charmed target regards you as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn’t under your control, it interprets your requests or actions in the most favorable way it can, and it is a willing target for your Bloodsucker ability. If you are in combat with the target's allies, the target will not attack, instead using its action to Help defend you.

-=== Escaping Mist ===
-Starting at 15th level you can establish a resting place and imbue a coffin with unholy power with a one-hour ritual. This ends your link to any previous coffins. When you have an imbued coffin and drop to 0 hit points, you disappear in a cloud of mist (as in the Darkness Forms feature) and teleport to your coffin, provided that you aren’t in sunlight or running water. If you can’t transform or is prevented from teleporting, you go unconscious normally. At dusk, when you are in your resting place with 0 hit points, you regain 1 hit point.
-=== Master of the Night ===
-When you reach 20th level, you regain 20 hit points at the start of your turn if you have at least 1 hit point and aren’t in sunlight or running water. If you take radiant damage or damage from holy water, this feature doesn’t function at the start of your next turn.
