Martial Arts

At 1st level, you are trained in hand to hand combat.

• You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and weapons you are proficient with.
• Your unarmed attacks deal 1d4 damage, the die increases at 6th, 11th, and 16th levels.

Fighting Style

Choose one from below - This starts at first level and you can not have more than one, unless you work something out with your DM.

Brace for Attack - Always on your guard, you gain a bonus of +1 to AC, only works while conscious.

Light Weapon Handling - While wielding a one handed weapon, you get +2 to hit, does not work with Duel Wielding.

Double the Damage - While Dual Wielding each time you roll a 19 or 20 you may make an extra attack with your off-hand weapon, once per turn.

Dragon Slayer - While fighting any monster when dual wielding, you can add your ability modifier to the second attack.

Background

Demon Blood - Having demonic heritage you are granted the following benefits:

• You have Darkvision if your race did not have Darkvision, up to 60ft.

• You gain resistance to necrotic and fire damage but attacks with radiant damage or posses holy properties have advantage to hit you.

• Your base speed becomes 40ft.

Mark of The Dragon - You have the mark of a Dragon, as seen in The Seven Deadly Sins, somewhere on your body. Anywhere is fine as long as it's reasonably visible. Come up with an event where your character let loose their wrath and would be branded as such. They could still be on the run or absolved of the crime, your choice.

Cursed - You have been cursed by the Demon King and do not age and if you die your soul return to your body. However, when you would make a death saving throw you only have one instead of three. If you succeed the death saving throw you are considered stabilized and unconscious. If you fail the death saving throw you can't be revived by magical or non magical means except for this feature. When you die your soul returns to your body 1d4 hours later at which point you must make a con save throw DC17 and if failed your alignment must shifts towards chaotic evil, the amount of shift is based on you and your DM.

Age - I would say at least 100 but that's just me, minimum age is probably 25 because before you start the campaign you have already been branded with the mark and have been cursed, but whatever age floats your boat.

Lost Power - Part of your power was sealed off from you and is contained until you reach a state of controlled wrath or otherwise mental maturity that time will be controlled by the DM.

Demonic Regen

Demonic Regen - You can use your demon blood to your advantage by using your bonus action to regen hp the amount of times equal to your constitution modifier and regens by completing a short rest. You regain an amount of hp equal to what says in the table + your constitution modifier.

Unarmored Defense

Starting at 2nd level While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Full Counter

− At second level you gain the ability to use Full Counter level 1 which for your character means you can reflect an attack directed at you, back to the attacker. You may choose to be able to reflect magical attacks or melee attacks.

To reflect a magical attack it must be visible. You can not reflect attacks that incur effects or change the environment. Reflected spells incur the same effects as if they were casted on the intended target to the caster themselves.

Physical attacks may be reflected in any way including projectiles yet the damage returned does not include effects from attacks that incur bonus status ailments, i.e. you can not inflict bleeding or poison on a returned attack if the attack would have given you those effects otherwise.

Full counter will return the decided damage and adds an extra 2d10.

At Full Counter level 2 will return the decided damage and adds an extra 4d10.

At Full Counter level 3 will return the decided damage and adds an extra 8d10.

This can be Can used a number of times equal to half your level per long rest. When you roll for full counter you still have to succeed the targets ac to hit. Resistances or immunities are still accounted for.

Reckless Attack

Starting at 3rd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but the attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level you can attack twice instead of once,whenever you take The Attack action on your turn.

At level 10 gain another extra attack, At level 15 gain another extra attack, At level 20 gain another extra attack

Demonic Rage

When you or someone in your party falls below half, or when someone you have a bond with, is knocked unconscious by enemy means you can activate this ability, regardless of whose turn it is. You cast your emotions aside and give in to your inner power at the cost of possibly losing control to your Demonic blood. When you rage you can't cast full counter or any other magic and you must make every attempt to destroy any threat that would seek to harm your allies. This ability is counted as a bonus action if on your turn and uses your reaction if on another's turn, and you must have a clear line of sight on the attacker.

At the end of each of your turns when raging you must make a con save starting at DC 5 and increasing by 2 every turn. To stop Demonic rage all enemies must be dead, not just unconscious. If you fail the con save your demon blood temporarily takes over and you must attack everyone around you as if they are your enemy. You also gain +1 to AC per level of Demonic Rage.

Does 1d10 slashing and inflicts 1d6 bleeding. The claws now do 2d8 slashing and 1d6 necrotic. Switching between weapons counts as a bonus action.
