Nyxxa Murkthorn (Level 16 Satyr Adept/Rogue)

Safe Haven

As a faction agent, you have access to a secret network of supporters and operatives who can provide assistance on your adventures. You know a set of secret signs and passwords you can use to identify such operatives, who can provide you with access to a hidden safe house, free room and board, or assistance in finding information. These agents never risk their lives for you or risk revealing their true identities.

Source of Inspiration:

Shedding Burdens. The path to Enlightenment is difficult, and often the death of one's Ego and desire. You gain inspiration whenever you sacrifice comfort, convenience, or desire for the purposes of reaching Enlightenment. Examples include sparing a creature who killing would be simpler, abstaining from vices at great sacrifice, refusing to lie, cheat, or steal when doing so would offer great wealth or success, or sacrificing a large amount of wealth or assistance to those in need.

Spite the Malediction. Some curses compel creatures to act a certain way, while others are the product of those same patterns. You gain inspiration whenever you take a significant step towards lifting your Curse, act contrary to negative behaviors inspired by your Curse, or make a sacrifice to your own detriment in spite of your Curse. Examples include suppressing an dangerous urge provoked by your Curse, inflict pain or sever inconvenience on yourself by defying your Curse, or learning about and securing something or someone which may aid you in lifting or mastering your Curse.

Inspiration Feature:

Mantra. You have developed a phrase or action which, by repeating, allows you to center yourself. At the beginning of your turn, you may spend inspiration to make a saving throw against any spell or ability which allows you to save at the end of your turn to end early, or any spell or ability which is causing you to be charmed, frightened, or turned. If the saving throw is a success, the spell or effect is removed before any negative consequences happen on your turn.

Accursed. Your curse can sometimes manifest in unexpected ways at the worst times, engendering fear and pity from those around you. When you fail at a Charisma check using a skill, you may spend your inspiration to succeed instead. When you use this ability, the nature of your curse manifests in some profound way; you might partially transform, lose control, or flare up in a way defined by your DM. Creatures who can see you become aware of your curse if they were not already, potentially changing the context of the original Charisma check

Fulfillment Feature:

Nirvana. By shedding mortal burdens, you have transformed your mind into an unassailable fortress. You are resistant to psychic damage, and you are immune to magic that allows other creatures to read your thoughts, determine whether you are lying, know your alignment, or know your creature type. Creatures can telepathically communicate with you only if you allow it.

Agile Defense

While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier. (AC: 18)

Martial Arts

You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and adept weapons.
You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or adept weapon. This die changes as you gain adept levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the adept table.
When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or an adept weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.

Inner focus

Flurry of Blows: Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 focus to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action.
Focused Attack: If you spend 1 focus or more as part of your action on your turn, you can make one attack with an unarmed strike or an adept weapon as a bonus action before the end of the turn.
Patient Defense: You can spend 1 focus to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.
Step of the Wind: You can spend 1 focus to take both Disengage and Dash actions as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.

Additional Attack

You can attack three times, instead of twice, when you take the Attack action.

Dance of the White Tiger

As a bonus action, you can spend 2 focus to begin the Dance of the White Tiger. Until the end of your next turn, if you hit a target with two or more melee weapon attacks in the same turn, the target takes additional damage equal to your martial arts die. The dance ends early if your movement speed becomes 0.

Deflect Missiles

You can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your adept level. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 focus to make a ranged attack with a range of 20/60 using the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as an adept weapon for the attack.

Evasion

When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Empty Mind

As an action, you can spend 1 focus to end one effect on yourself that is causing you to be charmed or frightened, and then enter a meditative state that lasts 1 hour. While in this state, Insight checks against you have disadvantage, you have advantage on saving throws made against enchantment spells, and resistance to psychic damage.

Focused Aim

When you miss with an attack roll, you can spend 1 to 3 focus to increase your attack roll by 2 for each of the focus you spend, potentially turning the miss into a hit.

Heightened Metabolism

If you spend at least 1 minute focusing or resting, you can give yourself all the benefits of a Short Rest. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Purity of Body

Your mastery of the energy flowing through your body makes you immune to disease and poison.

Quickened Healing

You can spend 2 focus and roll a Martial Arts die. You regain a number of hit points equal to the number rolled plus your proficiency bonus.

Steel Body

Whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 focus to reroll it and take the second result.

Stunning Strike

When you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 focus to attempt a stunning strike. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.

Undefeated

Prerequisite: 11th level, Quickened Healing
When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. If you were reduced to 0 hit points by a creature in your reach, you may use your reaction and spend 2 focus to make a single unarmed strike against them. On a hit, you regain hit points equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die plus your proficiency bonus. Once you use this ability, you can't do so again again until you finish a long rest.

Sneak Attack

You know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 4d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have Advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon. You don't need Advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't Incapacitated, and you don't have Disadvantage on the attack roll.

Combat Tactic: Ravager. When you hit a creature while using two-weapon fighting, you can deal your Sneak Attack damage to it, even if you don't meet the normal prerequisites for doing so. If you already do, you flourish instead. You can use this feature 5 times, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Thieves' Cant

During your rogue training you learned thieves' cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

One additional language: Draconic

Cunning Action

Your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a Bonus Action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Cunning Action: Steady Aim. As a Bonus Action, you can give yourself Advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this Bonus Action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the Bonus Action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.

Roguish Expertise

Acrobatics You gain expertise in Acrobatics. Opportunity attacks made against you by a creature whose space you move through have disadvantage. Additionally, when you take the Tumble bonus action and exceed the DC by 5 or more, you may get your Bonus Action back. When you do, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Persuasion: Roguish Charm. You gain expertise with Persuasion. If you spend 1 minute talking to a creature who can understand what you say, and if that creature is not hostile, you may make a Charisma (Persuasion) with a DC equal to the creature’s passive Wisdom (Insight) score. On a success, the creature is non magically charmed by you for 1 hour. The charm ends early if you or your allies harm the creature. Once you’ve used this feature successfully, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Satyr's Curse (Modified Fiend-Touched)

Darkvision. Range of Spectral Sight increases by 30 feet.
Demon Soul. Your creature type is fiend, rather than humanoid.
Mirthful Leaps. Whenever you make a long or high jump, you can roll a d8 and add the number to the number of feet you cover, even when making a standing jump. This extra distance costs movement as normal.
Dark Urges. You touch a creature and magically knows the creature's current emotional state. If the target fails a Charisma saving throw DC 15 (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier), you learn the creature's alignment, and its flaw. The creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a failure, you magically influence the creature to indulge in its flaw, with no regard for consequences. Creatures that can’t be charmed are immune to this effect. The target pursues the course of action suggested to the best of its ability for 1 day. If you or your allies damage the target, the effect ends. If the target successfully saves against the effect, the target is immune to your Dark Urges for the next 24 hours.

• When you use the Dark Urges ability, if you are not evil, you must make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC equal to the creature's Charisma score (minimum 10) or you must reduce your Charisma score by 1d4 + half the creature's CR (minimum 1). If you don't, or if this would bring your Charisma score to 0 or lower, your inner demon gains control of your body for a number of hours equal to how much you failed the saving throw by (minimum 1 hour). If you do not have an inner demon, it just reduces your Charisma. Every time you finish a long rest, the reduction to your Charisma score is reduced by 1 until it disappears.

Devour Soul

The demon hunters of the Illidari have perfected a means by which they can devour the souls of their victims, restoring their vigor and granting them strength to perform supernatural feats at great personal risk to their sanity.

When you slay a creature, or when a creature affected by one of your spells is slain, you may, as a reaction, devour a portion of that creature's soul (if they have one). You gain a number of Soul Points equal to half the creature's CR or level (minimum 1). Soul Points may be used interchangably with Focus Points, but unlike Focus Points, they do not recharge - you keep them until they are used. You may hold a number of Soul Points equal to half your monk levels.

If you use this ability on a creature whose CR or level is equal to or less than half your character levels, you may choose to devour their soul completely. Until you are slain, nothing short of a wish spell can restore that creature to life. If that creature is an aberration, celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead, their spirits are bound within you and do not reform within their home planes if they normally would. On such creatures, in addition to gaining Soul Points, your maximum number of Focus points permanently increases by 1, but you get a cumulative -1 penalty to Wisdom saving throws, as the creature's voice added to the chorus of your mind wears upon your sanity.

When you devour a soul, if you are not evil, you must make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC equal to the creature's Charisma score (minimum 10) or you must reduce your Charisma score by 1d4 + half the creature's CR (minimum 1). If you don't, or if this would bring your Charisma score to 0 or lower, your inner demon gains control of your body for a number of hours equal to how much you failed the saving throw by (minimum 1 hour). If you do not have an inner demon, the soul you just devoured takes over your body instead. Every time you finish a long rest, the reduction to your Charisma score is reduced by 1 until it disappears.

Battlefield Etiquette

After you have fought beside a martial artist for an encounter, battled against them, or observed them for at least 10 minutes, you gain advantage on Charisma checks against them. Any creature proficient in at least one combat maneuver tradition is considered to be a martial artist.

Insightful Intuition

As an action, you can spend 1 focus to study a creature you have watched speak for at least 1 minute. You can ask the DM one of the following questions:

• Is the creature hiding any strong emotions?
• Does the creature have a secret agenda?
• Did the creature lie in the last minute?
• Is the creature hiding their true heritage and/or culture?

The DM must give you a truthful answer. Once you have used this ability on a creature, you cannot use it on that creature again until you finish a short or long rest.

Instant Transmission

You can move so fast you seem to teleport. You can use an action to spend 6 focus and choose an unoccupied space you can see within 500 feet. You teleport and arrive at exactly the spot desired.

Torah'Nal | The Aldratchi Warblades (Attunement II)

The Aldratchi people were one of many to stand against the Burning Legion, but one of the few to nearly succeed. The Warblades were the weapons wielded by their king and his elite warriors. While a small number survived the annihilation of their world, those that had been tempered in the souls of thousands of demons, including the pair wielded by King Toranaar himself, endured.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. It has the following additional properties.

• Flames of War. You can use a bonus action to speak this magic blade's command word, causing the edge of this blade and all other warblades within 60 feet that are wielded by friendly creatures to glow white-hot and flicker with fire. The blades shed bright light in a 10-foot radius, and dim light for an additional 10 feet. While the edges burn, the blade deals an extra 1d6 fire damage to any target it hits. The flames last until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again or until you drop or sheathe the blade.
• Soul Carver. Every strike of the warblades carves a piece of their victim's soul and absorbs it, honing the blade's edge and the wielder's resolve both. When you hit a creature with this weapon, it takes 1 force damage, and an additional 1 force damage for every time you have struck the target with a Warblade this turn. You then gain temporary hit points equal to the total force damage dealt by Warblades that you are wielding this turn. Creatures that have no souls, like most constructs, undead, and oozes, are immune to this damage.

Any force damage dealt by this weapon can be regained only through a short or long rest, rather than by regeneration, magic, or any other means. Additionally, when you deal force damage with a Warblade you are wielding, you may activate Flames of War on any Warblades you are wielding as if you had used the command word with no actions required.

Scrim of the Slayer (Attunement II)

A reminder of purpose, this black cloth is laced with invisible demonic runes which center's one's mind and thoughts towards their final, uncompromising purpose, and gives them the foresight to see the path to victory, no matter the cost. While wearing this headband, you are blinded unless you are attuned to it. While wearing it, you gain a +2 bonus to the saving throw DCs of your ki features. In addition, you can use an action to regain ki points equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die. You can't use this action again until the next dawn.

Bracers of Defense (Attunement I)

While wearing these bracers, you gain a +2 bonus to AC if you are wearing no armor and using no shield.

Glamerweave

Glamerweave is clothing imbued with harmless illusory magic. While wearing the common version of these clothes, you can use a bonus action to create a moving illusory pattern within the cloth.

Uncommon glamerweave can have the pattern rise from the cloth. For example, a glamerweave gown might be wreathed in harmless, illusory flames, while a glamerweave hat might have illusory butterflies fluttering around it.

When you make a Charisma (Performance) or Charisma (Persuasion) check while wearing the uncommon version of glamerweave, you can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the check. Once you use this property, it can't be used again until the next dawn

Cloak of the Manta Ray

While wearing this cloak with its hood up, you can breathe underwater, and you have a swimming speed of 60 feet. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action. (60 feet becomes 85 feet with movement speed improvements)

Dream Snare

This intricate ornament made of wood and silk and adorned with feathers and beads is blessed by Asibikaashi, the Spider Woman – one of the many aspects of Mu'sha, the Shu-halo goddess of the moon.

While the snare is suspended, unconscious creatures within 30 feet of the snare, they gain the following benefits:

• Immunity to psychic damage.
• They cannot have nightmares.
• Creatures can only telepathically communicate with them if the creature allows it, including via the Dream spell.
