Monastic Tradition: Way of the Fallow Harvest




Monks who study the way of the fallow harvest focus on disrupting their opponent's ki by studying the natural abilities of undead and necromantic scriptures. With these techniques, they not only ruin a foes' health but their connection to the living world as well. This dual destruction makes it easier for the monk to strike down all that oppose them. As they progress, practitioners of this brutal art learn how to harvest the negative energies bleeding from their victims to augment their bodies and souls.

Baleful Arts Starting at 3rd level, you use your ki to duplicate the effect of certain spells using your ki saving throw. As an action, you can spend 2 ki points to case hex, ray of enfeeblement or ray of sickness, without providing material components. However, ray of enfeeblement and ray of sickness have a reach of 5ft and require a melee spell attack roll instead of a ranged spell attack. Additionally, you gain the chill touch cantrip if you do not already have it.

Water the Dead Earth. At 6th level, when you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack that currently has Disadvantage due to one of your Baleful Arts abilities ( hex, ray of enfeeblement or ray of sickness,) you may use your Stunning Strike feature without spending a ki point. You may use this feature a number of times per day equal to your Wisdom modifier +1 (minimum 1). Whenever you complete a long rest you regain all spent uses of this feature.

Reap the Rotten. At 11th level, for the next minute whenever you successfully deal necrotic damage as part of a melee or ranged weapon attack to a creature you regain hit points equal to the necrotic damaged dealt. Once you use this feature you cannot use it again until after you finish a short or long rest.

Unhallowed Soul At 17th level, you gain immunity to poison and necrotic damage. In addition, in any time that you reduce poison or necrotic damage to zero you gain Advantage on all attacks until the end of turn. You may spend 3 ki points to also give these attacks a Critical Range of 19-20 until end of turn.

Coffer Mimic

Most adventurers have either encountered or heard a story of an encounter with a mimic disguised as a chest. This is so common that everyone assumes a chest might just be a mimic. Hopefully, they never run across this monstrosity. Bred and trained by The Moneylender to protect his ill-gotten fortune, these mimics take the form of high-quality chests and possess greedy souls. They horde treasure and protect it fiercely. The more booty the mimic holds, the tougher it becomes - even more so when it robs the dead. If they get too aggressive, the Moneylender sells them off to other villains to populate their castles and dungeons. Coffer Mimic Medium monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 12(natural armor) Hit Points 52 (7d8 + 21) Speed 15 ft Str 17 Dex 12 Con 16 Int 5 Wis 11 Cha 14 Skills Deception +4, Stealth +5 Damage Resistances poison Damage Immunities acid Condition Immunities p...

Gears

Gears can't remember if he was a dwarven hero or a condemned criminal. Either way, he is more cogwork than flesh now and driven to mete out justice with his metal fists. He was first deployed during an intense goblin invasion of a dwarven stronghold. Initially he served as something between a shocktroop and a living weapon, but this cigar chopping 'cyborg' inspired the dwarven defenders fighting along side of him to the point that he became a mascot, then a leader. More times than one could count, he should have gone down under a barrage of attacks only to plow forward losing more flesh and blood later replaced with mithril and steel. Eventually, Gears lost every last dwarf he fought along side and just kept killing goblins whenever he could until the fortress housed him alone. Now he wanders the world, making things right the best he can one punch at a time. Gears Medium construct (dwarf), chaotic good Armor Class 12 (natural armor) ...

Warlock Patron: The Embalmed

You have made a pact with an ancient mummy that while forever entombed beneath sun-scorched sand or impenetrable jungle, can reach out from its sepulcher to influence the living. Perhaps the undead horror was once a powerful sorcerer-king, high priestess of an extinct civilization, or the last remnant of a lost, terrible race. Its agenda and goals match a forgotten age and the mummy's capricious whims. Often the warlock is tasked with recovering artifacts tied to the sarcophagus-trapped horror or its civilization. Some mummies seek to futilely seek to be released from their prison, while others just want to be remembered as a figure of glory and power. Expanded Spell List The Embalmed lets you choose from an expanded list of Spells when you learn a Warlock spell. The following Spells are added to Warlock spells list for you. 1st - Inflict Wounds, Ray of Sickness 2nd - Animal Messenger, Dust Devil 3rd - Bestow Curse, Vampiric Touch 4th - Giant Insect, Phantasmal Killer ...
