Disciple: Difference between revisions

:'''Ideal: Camaraderie. Your allies are your family, and those bonds are more precious than anything the world can muster. Cherish them and look out for them, for they will make you your best self.

:'''Signature Art: Rally. As an action, you let out a riveting war cry that sends jolts through the bodies of your allies. Any allied creature within 30 feet can use their reaction to move up to their speed without provoking opportunity attacks. This ability's range increases by 30 feet when you reach 5th level (60 feet), 11th level (90 feet), 17th level (120 feet).

:'''Warding Strike (2nd level). When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus action and spend 1 tempo point to instill hesitation within them. The next attack it makes before the start of your next turn has disadvantage if it is against someone other than you.

:'''Bolstering Bond (5th level). As an action, you can spend up to 5 tempo points to bolster yourself and an ally. You and an ally of your choice within 30 feet of you gain 1d8 temporary hit points for each tempo point you spent. These temporary hit points last 1 minute, until you use this technique again, or until you focus to regain your tempo.

:'''Unified Assault (11th Level). Whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus action and spend 3 tempo points to call in an assault. A single allied creature of your choice within 30 feet of you can use their reaction to make a weapon attack against that same creature.

:'''Fury of the Fallen (17th Level). Whenever you see a creature reduce an allied creature to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction and spend 4 tempo points to move up to your speed and make an attack against the attacking creature. On a hit, the attack deals damage as normal and the allied creature regains hit points equal to your level.

:'''Ideal: Passion. Your heart must burn like the desert sun. Do not live idly and let opportunities pass you by. Be invested in every action you choose to take, and use the fire in your eyes to guide you into the future.

:'''Signature Art: Salamander Charge. As an action, you move up to your speed without provoking opportunity attacks, leaving behind a wall of fire that is 10 feet high and 1 foot thick along your path, lasting for 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). You can move through a creature's spaces for this movement, but you can't end your turn there. The wall lightly obscures vision. Any creature in the wall when it first appears, and whenever a creature enters the wall for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there  must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 fire damage. This damage increases to 1d8 at 5th level (2d8), and again at 11th, (3d8) and 17th levels (4d8).

:'''Searing Lashes (2nd Level). You coat your weapons in searing flames. When you take the Attack action, you can spend 1 tempo to increase your reach by 10 feet until the end of your turn. Your attacks deal fire damage instead of their normal damage type for the duration, and deal an additional 1d4 damage.

:'''Leaping Flame (5th Level). Whenever you are damaged by a hostile creature within 60 feet of you that you can see, you can use your reaction and spend 2 tempo to briefly turn into a wisp of flame and fly to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of them without provoking opportunity attacks.

:'''Flame's Blessing Stance (11th Level). At the start of your turn, you can spend 2 tempo points to engulf yourself in beautiful flames. Until the start of your next turn, you are immune to fire damage, and creatures take 1d8 fire damage any time they make a melee attack against you.

:'''Bursting Sunspot (17th Level). When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus action and spend 3 to 5 tempo points to cause the target of your attack to explode in a blaze of glory. Every creature in a 10ft radius, increased by 10 feet for every tempo point spent above 3, must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 6d6 fire damage. You are immune to this damage.

:'''Ideal: Order. Everything has a cause and an effect. The world may appear chaotic, but a clean layer of order underlies it all. The more you discover and understand this order, the greater a warrior and the more fulfilled an individual you will become.

:'''Signature Art: Quick Draw. If you are not surprised, immediately after initiative is rolled, but before anyone acts, you can move up half your speed and make a single weapon attack. This attack deals double damage to objects and structures. If you are surprised, you can instead use this signature art to no longer be surprised.

:'''Prescient Counter (2nd Level). When you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction and spend 2 tempo points to gain an AC bonus equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) against that attack, potentially causing it to miss.

:'''Flicker Step (5th Level). As an action, you can spend 3 tempo points and pick a hostile creature within 20 feet of you. You can teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of that creature, and make a melee weapon attack against any creature in a 5-foot wide line from your original location to your new location. If a creature damaged by this technique has an amount of hit points less than or equal to your disciple level at the end of your turn, it drops to 0 hit points.

:'''Ruby Storm Stance (11th Level). When you take the Dodge action, you can immediately use your bonus action and spend 1 tempo point to enter a time-slowing stance. Until the start of your next turn, you can't be knocked prone or moved, and whenever a creature within 5 feet of you makes an attack, you can instantly make a melee attack against it.

:'''Trace (17th Level). As an action, you can spend 4 tempo points to teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space within reach of a target and make a single melee weapon attack against it. On a hit, this attack deals an additional 2d8 force damage. You can do this up to 5 additional times as a part of the same action, so long as each target you attack is different.

:'''Ideal: Heroism. People deserve peace and happiness, and so you take it upon yourself to be a tool for their delivery. Overwhelming odds are a welcome challenge, for you must be a beacon of inspiration for as long as there is a soul left to be saved.

:'''Signature Art: Symbol of Hope. While you can see at least one ally, and you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead.

:'''Topple (2nd level). You can forgo a weapon attack on your turn and spend at least 1 tempo point to attempt to topple a creature within reach. The target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target falls prone and takes 1d8 bludgeoning damage for each tempo point spent. If the target is Large or larger, it has disadvantage on this saving throw and instead takes 1d10 bludgeoning damage for each tempo point spent.

:'''Blinding Courage (5th Level). Whenever a creature attempts to frighten you or a non-hostile creature within 10 feet of you, you can use your reaction and spend 3 tempo points to make it so you and every non-hostile creature within 10 feet of you can't be frightened until the start of your next turn.

:'''Revolution (11th Level). As an action, you can spend 3 tempo points and make a melee attack against every creature within 5 feet of you. If any of these creatures is Large or larger, it takes additional damage equal to your weapon's damage die.

:'''Tyrant's Downfall (17th Level). As an action, you can spend 5 tempo points to cause a giant glowing weapon to appear. This weapon crashes down in a 60 foot-tall, 10 foot radius cylinder centered on a point you can see within 60 feet of you. Any creature in the area must make a Charisma saving throw or take 5d12 radiant damage, or half of that damage on a success. If a creature is Large or larger, it takes an additional 2d12 damage for each size step it is above Medium. If you were concentrating on a spell or any other effect, that effect ends.

:'''Ideal: Freedom. Life is but a small breeze, fleeting upon the chaotic winds of the universe. Do not waste it carrying undue burdens that leave you crushed. Lift these burdens from yourself and those around you, and reflect on how much more joyous it is to live free.

:'''Signature Art: Gale Surge. As a bonus action, you whip a wild gust around your body and briefly become as the wind. This effect lasts 1 minute, or until you lose concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). For the duration, you have advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and whenever a creature misses you with an attack, you can move 5 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.

:'''Driving Wind (2nd Level). You can use your action and spend up to 5 tempo points to unleash a cone of rushing air from your weapon. The size of the cone is an amount of feet equal to 10 times the amount of tempo points you spent. Creatures of your choice in the cone must make a Strength saving throw or be pushed backwards until they reach an unoccupied space at the end of the cone. A creature can choose to fail this saving throw.

:'''Wind Scar (5th Level). You can use your action and spend any amount of tempo points to swing your weapon and unleash a blade of air forward. Pick up to 3 creatures you can see within 60 feet of you. If you target more than one creature, each target must be within 5 feet of at least one other target, and none of them can have cover from you. Each of these targets must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes 1d8 magical slashing damage for each point of tempo you spend, or half as much on a success.

:'''The Wind That Walks (11th Level). As a bonus action, you can spend 3 tempo points to become invisible and able to move through the space of any creature, as well as through spaces as small as 1 inch gaps without expending additional movement until the start of your next turn, or until you attack a creature or force it to make a saving throw.

:'''Tranquil Windstorm (17th Level). As a bonus action, you can spend 3 tempo points to create a 10 foot radius sphere of whirling air that follows you, which lasts until the end of your next turn. While within the sphere, creatures of your choice can ignore difficult terrain, and you can impose disadvantage on any ranged attack that targets a creature inside of the sphere. Additionally, if a creature starts its turn inside the sphere, you can increase its speed by 10 feet until the end of its turn.

:'''Ideal: Chaos. Stagnation is the enemy of growth, so it is up to you to make sure that the world is constantly changing. Adapt to the situations you bring about, and through that act you will find completeness.

:'''Signature Art: Quicksilver Pack. As a bonus action, you create an illusory duplicate of yourself. This effect lasts 1 minute or until you lose concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). The illusion appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of you that you can see. A duplicate has the same AC as you and disappears whenever it takes any damage from an attack, spell or magical effect. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move any one duplicate created by this art up to 30 feet to a space you can see. A duplicate can only fly this way if you also have a fly speed. Alternatively, you can use your bonus action to destroy a duplicate and teleport to its space, provided you can see the duplicate. The amount of duplicates you can make with this ability increases to 2 at 5th level, 3 at 11th level, and 4 at 17th level.

:'''Mirror Step (2nd Level). You twirl the world about a creature, disorienting its perception of your position. When a creature moves within 5 feet of you or one of your duplicates, you can use your reaction and spend 1 tempo point to force that creature to make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, you can teleport to any space within 5 feet of the creature, and the next attack it makes against you before the end of the turn is made at disadvantage.

:'''Inversion (5th Level). As an action, you can spend 3 tempo points to force a creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, you or one of your duplicates teleports into a space that creature occupies and that creature teleports into the space of either you or the duplicate that just teleported. If there is no room for you or the creature where the other stands, this technique fails.

:'''Altered Perspective (11th Level). When a hostile creature misses you or one of your duplicates with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and spend 3 tempo points to force that creature to repeat the same attack against a creature of your choice within range of the attack (other than itself).

:'''Shifting Sides (17th level). As a bonus action, you can spend 4 tempo points and attempt to alter a creature's perception of the battlefield. A creature of your choice within 30 feet of your must make an Intelligence saving throw to see through the illusion you foist on it. On a failed saving throw, the creature can't make reactions until the start of its next turn, and immediately makes a melee weapon attack against a creature of your choice within its reach.

:'''Ideal: Revenge. You have been wronged. If you haven't been, you will be. It is your charge to turn your ire upon those who sought to bring you down, and take from them that which you are owed. They tried to bring you to your knees, but now you are hoisted up by the black wings of vengeance.

:'''Signature Art: Will of the Conspiracy. As a bonus action, you can force a creature you can see to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the target's vision and hearing is overtaken by a swarm of ravens. Until the end of your next turn, it is deafened and perceives the area beyond a 10 foot radius around it to be magical darkness. If you start your turn outside of this radius, you can use your bonus action to teleport into an unoccupied space inside of it. If a target succeeds on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you tried to use this art on it.

:'''Gaze of the Flock (2nd Level). When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you damages you or forces you to make a saving throw, you can use your reaction and spend 2 tempo points to force it to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn. At the end of each of your turns while a creature is frightened of you in this way, you can spend 1 tempo point to force the creature to make another Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature remains frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

:'''Unkindness In Turn (5th Level). You can spend your bonus action and 2 tempo points to teleport to a creature within 30 feet of you that is frightened of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it becomes Paralyzed from its fear until the start of their turn.

:'''Futility (11th Level). Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 tempo point and have it make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, its speed is halved, and it has disadvantage on saves against becoming frightened until the end of their next turn.

:'''Vengeance of the Swarm (17th Level). A black mist of ethereal ravens surges from you to enact your revenge. When a creature damages you, you can use your reaction and spend 4 tempo points to cause that creature to lose hit points equal to the amount of damage you took (maximum of 40 damage).

:'''Ideal: Stoicism. Expression is a powerful thing that is best not used frivolously. Speak and act when your words and actions further your path, and make sure each word strikes with the impact of a falling boulder.

:'''Signature Art: Dragon Sentinel. As a bonus action, you cause a Medium dragon statue to emerge in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you, lasting for 1 minute or until you lose concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). The dragon statue is a magical object that occupies its space. It has an AC of 13 + your Wisdom modifier, and a number of hit points equal to twice your disciple level. It is immune to poison damage, psychic damage, and all conditions. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10. The area within 10 feet of the dragon is considered difficult terrain. As a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can make the dragon move up to 15 feet. If you summon the dragon within 5 feet of a creature, and as a reaction whenever a creature moves within 5 feet of it, you can cause the dragon to make a melee spell attack against that creature. On a hit, it deals an amount of magical piercing damage equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier, and the target’s speed is halved until the end of the turn.

:'''Roots of the Earth (2nd Level). When an effect would knock you prone or move you against your will, you can spend 1 tempo point to hook into the earth. Until the end of your next turn, you can't be knocked prone or moved against your will, including against the original effect.

:'''Mountain Hammer (5th Level). When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 2 tempo points to embed it into a fissure below it. The target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is knocked prone. If the target is already prone, it is instead restrained until the end of its next turn.

:'''Earthbound (11th Level). As an action, you can spend 3 tempo points to petrify yourself until the start of your next turn. While petrified in this way, any damage you take is halved, and your form can't be changed. Additionally, the earth around your feet attempts to encase those around you. Each creature within 15 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, that creature is restrained until the end of your next turn.

:'''Breath of Ages (17th Level). As an action, you can spend 5 tempo points to exhale an eroding mist that originates from either you or your Dragon Sentinel. All creatures in a 60-foot cone, which spreads around corners, must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature's body becomes heavy and sluggish until the end of your next turn. For the duration, the creature's speed is halved, and it can't use reactions. On its turn, it can use either an action or a bonus action, not both. Regardless of the creature's abilities or magic items, it can't make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn. Once per turn, when you hit a sluggish creature with a melee weapon attack, you can force it to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target becomes petrified until the end of your next turn.

:'''Ideal: Power. It is not enough to merely defeat your enemies; you must overcome them and demonstrate the gap in your abilities. You must prove to yourself and to the world that your might is unrivaled.

:'''Signature Art: Blood of the Ancients. As a bonus action, you can bolster your form. You gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your disciple level, which last for 1 minute (rounded up, minimum 1). While you have these temporary hit points, whenever you make a Strength check and roll below half your Wisdom Score (rounded up), you can treat the roll on the die equal to half your Wisdom Score (rounded up). Starting at 5th level, while you have these temporary hit points, your size increases to Large if you are not already Large or larger. Your equipment grows to match your new size. If there isn't enough room for you to double your size, you attain the maximum possible size in the space available.

:'''Power Overwhelming (2nd Level). When you hit a target with a melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus action and spend up to 5 tempo points. The target is pushed backwards 5 feet for every tempo point  you spent. If this movement would force the target to impact a creature, object, or structure, then it and whatever it collided with take 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 5 feet of forced movement remaining (minimum of no damage).

:'''Cull the Meek (5th level). Those who seek to mar you without facing you deserve a swift punishment. When a creature you cannot see hits you with an attack, or a creature hits you with a ranged attack, you can use your reaction and spend 3 tempo points to reduce that damage by 1d10 + your Wisdom modifier, and then force that creature to succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take psychic damage equal to the amount you reduced.

:'''Titan's Will (11th Level). At the start of your turn, you can spend 4 tempo points to remove one of the following conditions from yourself: blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, incapacitated, paralyzed, poisoned, or stunned.

:'''Arduous Wrath (17th Level). As an action, you can spend 4 tempo points and slam your weapon into the earth. Every creature of your choice in a 30-foot cone in front of you must make a Constitution saving throw or be stunned for 1 minute.
