Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Demonslayer.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Demonslayers are masters of unarmed combat, preferring martial fighting to weapons. As such they have the Improved Unarmed Feat at 1st level and do an additional HD of damage when not using a weapon. While not requiring additional weapons, each Demonslayer has the choice of being proficient in one other weapon type of their choice. In the case of armor, a Demonslayer can only use Light armor as anything heavier will disrupt their fighting.

Demonslayer Special Abilities

Elemental Mastery: What separates a Demonslayer from other spellcasters is their total devotion to a single element to the near exclusion of the others. This has allowed them total control and synchronization with their chosen element, making their bodies living conduits for the primal forces of nature.

• • In the case of Light and Dark Demonslayers, their element doesn't appear naturally and their only source comes from 2 places: Divine/Necrotic spell, and the actual life force of living creatures. They have the ability to drain the energy of others they come in contact with if they succeed in Will vs. Fortitude, draining an amount equal to 1d6 . If the resulting drain will kill the target, the soul is consumed as well.

Your unarmed attacks deal 2d6 more damage.

Demoniac Descent: The main defining aspect of a Demonslayer's magic is their ability to incorporate it into their martial fighting style. They can become living magical weapons, wrapping magic around themselves to increase their physical attack power, as such these attacks are considered unarmed or natural weapon for the Demonslayer. They effects of the various Demon attacks vary by element and grow stronger as the Demonslayer trains with them. At each rank of this ability the Demonslayer is allowed to further acquire/train one these abilities making them stronger and more versatile. This abilities are considered as spells so you have to spend your spells per day or mental stability.

Demon's Ray: The character takes energy from his runes and concentrate it on his hands, than he fires a 25ft(+5ft per Rank) ray of the element of the Demonslayer applying the effects of the element.
