Martyred

You died and are now alive yet there were no gods involved, no magic other than your own power. You are not an Undead, you are whole only bearing the faded marks of the act that ended your life. You gain the following properties as a part of your miraculous rebirth:

• You have Resistance to Necrotic and Poison damage.

• Your movement speed is increased by 5 ft.

• You do not cast a shadow.

• Non Evil Undead have a 1D6 penalty to attacks on you.

You can channel your power through and create your own form of Hallowed Ground, your Divine Territory that exists to further your cause and enable you to perform your duty. You can use an action to place your Divine Territory. It remains in a gently glowing square with each side being 5 ft times your Saint level. The Divine Territory remains in place regardless of whether or not you are within the area. Your Divine Territory evokes feelings of reverence from both foe and friend alike. It has the following features:

• All creatures cannot raise their voices within your Divine Territory and spells with a Verbal component have their ranges halved.

• All creatures but you have disadvantage on attack rolls.

• All creatures have Resistance to Thunder damage.

You can use this feature once per long rest or you can regain the use of this feature by expending a 1st or higher level spell slot (No action required). If you create a new Divine Territory, the first Divine Territory ends.

Your Oath and devotion grant you certain spells. You know the following spells and they do not count towards the number of spells you can prepare.

Your Holy Calling manifests additional prayers you can use with your Saint’s Prayers feature.

Prayer for Protection from Death: You utter a prayer against the everlurking figure of Death. You pray for 10 minutes and at the end of the Prayer each creature of your choice that heard the prayer has: When this creature would be reduced to 0 hit points and is not killed outright, they remain at 1 hit point.

A creature can only benefit from this feature once per 24 hours.

Prayer for Understanding Self: You utter a prayer to force a target to reflect on their actions. You utter a brief prayer as an action and force a target within 60 ft of you that heard the prayer to make a WIS saving throw DC equal to your spell save DC. On a failed save the target relieves the worst thing they have done taking 4D10 Psychic damage and has disadvantage on their next attack until one minute has passed. On a successful save the target takes half as much damage.

Your presence evokes awe and reverence. Creatures within 15 ft of you have disadvantage on CHA based skill checks targeting you.

By the authority you have as a Saint you command a certain right to judge others righteously. You can use an action to Favorably Judge a target or Harshly Judge a target within 60 ft of you.

Favorable Judge: You judge them worthy of a second chance. You target one creature within 60 ft of you that died within 1 minute and revive them with 1 hit point. You can use this feature once every 72 hours.

Harshly Judge: You judge them in need of instruction and understanding. You force the target to make a WIS saving throw DC equal to your spell save DC and on a failed save they relive how you died to become a Martyred Saint taking 3D6 Necrotic damage + 4D6 Psychic damage or half has much on a successful save. If the target fails the save by 5 or more they are Stunned until the end of their next turn.

You can use this feature once per long rest. You can expend a 3rd level or higher spell slot to regain the use of this feature (No action required).

The Mark of Martyrdom has appeared on you in the form of your appearance becoming as if you were dead; deathly pale, milky eyes, unreactive face, etc. When the Stigmata appears on you, you do not need to eat, sleep, or breath.

You can use an action and choose a creature within 60 ft of you and the Stigmata appears on them in the form of a black figure holding a scythe appearing behind them. Each time the target takes the attack action they take 1D8 (Minimum 4) Necrotic damage for each attack (This damage is unaffected by damage Immunities and Resistances and cannot be reduced in any way). The Stigmata remains on the target until they die or after 1 hour passes in which it returns to you. While the Stigmata is on another target, you appear as a shining angelic figure with perfect white skin that sheds Bright Light for 30 ft and Dim Light for 30 ft further. You have a halo above your head, and sprout white wings giving you a Flying speed equal to your movement speed.

Every Saint grows in power until a Relic of great power manifests itself to the Saint it is destined for. The powers of the Relic are unique to the Saint and cannot be used by any other unless the Saint has passed on and wills a successor to be able to wield it. The Relic of the Martyred takes the form of an elegant reliquary with a shard of your own bone inside, usually a fragment of your toe or finger encased in crystal, resting on a white velvet pad. The reliquary is a spellcasting focus that grants a +2 bonus to your spell save DC and spell attack bonus. You learn two cantrips that are not Class specific from the Cleric spell list.

The Relic has 3 Minor Properties that are divided between all Saints and Martyred Saints. You can choose a combination of at least 1 Saint and 1 Martyred Saint property. Roll 1D8 each time.

The Relic has 2 Major Beneficial Properties. You have 1 Saint and 1 Martyred Saint property. Roll 1D8 each time.
