Soul Reaper (5e Class)
 |  |
Soul Reaper
The Soul Reapers are a peace keeping society based in the afterlife, it is our jobs to come back to the world of the living, and help the lost souls of the dead reach the afterlife. Aside from being guides to the lost souls, we are also their judges, and juries. We alone posses the power to read their lives and decide whether they are to pass on to heaven, or be put to eternal damnation in hell. Thus we train our-self in the ways of Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hoho, and Kido as lines of defense for those whom fight their destiny, or worse... become hollow.
Eternal Presence
Though unseen, Soul Reapers have been around since the dawn of time. They practice their many skills in the afterlife, before being sent out by the Soul Society to collect the souls of the deceased.
Jigokucho
Jigokucho, or Spiritual Butterflies, are small creatures that glow a bright green color. They can be summoned at will in groups as large as 20 by Soul Reapers to preform mundane tasks, as well as deliver messages between them and the Soul Society. They can preform things such as scouting areas ahead making Wisdom(Perception) checks using their owners modifier, or follow tracks with a Wisdom(Survival) check.
Zanpakuto
The primary weapon of a soul Reaper, the Zanpakuto, is a one-handed martial finesse weapon which deals 1d10 slashing damage. Although the specific appearance is dependant on the wielder as it is an imprint of their spiritual pressure, they primarily take the form of a katana, wakazashi, nodachi, or tanto. Though initially formless, the spirit inside the sword is molded by the user’s soul, eventually becoming its own being. If your Zanpakuto is destroyed, it can be reformed during a long rest.

Reishi
At 1st level, you begin to harness the energy of all spiritual forces known as Reishi. You have a number of Reishi points as listed in the Resihi Points column of the Soul Reaper class table + your Constitution modifier. You regain all expended Reishi points when you finish a long rest. If your Reishi points reach a count of 0, you have Disadvantage on all saving throws, excluding death saving throws, until you regain at least 1 Reishi point. If you already have Reiryoku from another class, such as from the Fullbringer or Espada class, and any features that use Reishi may use the other point pool as well.
Some of your Reishi features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects, or you to make a spell attack. Constitution is your ability modifier for these features. The saving throw DC and spell attack bonus are calculated as follows:
Reishi save DC= 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.
Reishi attack modifier= your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier
Lighter than a Feather
Starting at 1st level, while in Soul Reaper form you are lighter than a feather. You can move your normal walking speed through the air as if you were flying. However, if something were to paralyze you or cause your movement speed to fall to Zero, or you have no remaining Reishi, you will begin to fall,.
Reaper's Gi
A Reapers Gi, like his Zanpakuto, is made of his soul pressure, meaning that it can be repaired by the will of it's wearer, and is stronger than a normal robe. At 1st level, while wearing your Reapers Gi and no shield and have at least 1 Reishi point, your AC is equal to 10 + your Constitution modifier + your Dexterity modifier. As your power as a soul reaper increases, so does the strength of your Reaper's Gi. At 6th level, your gains a +1 AC bonus, at 9th level this bonus increases to +2, and at 13th this bonus increases to +3.
Zanjutsu
At 1st level, You gain the ability of Zanjutsu. Zanjutsu is the skill that allows Soul Reapers to create a sword from their "Soul Pressure" and manifest it in physical form, as well as handle the blade proficiently. This skill also binds the Zanpakuto to the creater. This means that only the person with a matching soul may wield the Zanpakuto. (Discuss with the DM to determine the zanpakuto, a real one may be used if the DM approves.)
Soul Transference
At 1st level, You gain the ability to use Soul Transference. Soul Reapers are adept at manipulating their souls and soul pressures. This gives them the ability to transfer their soul into a "Gigai" or temporary body. While inside a Gigai, soul reapers appear to be normal humans as their soul pressure is contained by the Gigai. However, Soul Reapers may summon their zanpakuto while in their Gigai. You may enter or exit a Gigai with a Bonus Action. If you are made unconscious inside of a Gigai, you are forced out next to it, and must make saving throws for both your soul and Gigai. If a Gigai dies, it can be replaced by contacting the Soul Society, and expending 1,500GP for service fees.
Kido
Starting at 2nd level, you have learned the ways of Kido. You may start learning basic Bakudo, Hado, and Kido spells, barriers, and seals. Kido is a fairly useful utility to Soul Reapers with enough whit and guile to make it work for them. You must spend twice as many Reishi points as a spell's level to cast it. Cantrips cost 1 Reishi to cast. Casting a spell using Reishi negates its material cost. You may only cast spells with a level less than or equal to the spell slot listed in the Slot Level column of the Soul Reaper table. You may have a number of spells prepared equal to your Intelligence modifier, and you may change 1 prepared spell at the end of a long rest.
Soul Path
At 3rd level, you chose a soul path that to help define you as a Soul Reaper. You may choose between Zanjutsu Expert and Kido Expert, both listed at the end of this class description. You gain additional features at 7th, 10th, and 14th level.
Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Starting at 5th level, you gain the ability to make an extra attack with your attack action. You also gain additional attacks at 15th(2), and 20th(3) level.
Flash Step
At 6th level, your skill and practice in quickening your own movement allows you to flash step as a bonus action for 2 Reishi points, instantly moving you up to 30 feet away. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. This can not be used in the same round as Hoho.
Reaper of Souls
At 11th level, your experience has taught you the best ways to cleanse Hollows and Non-Hollows alike. Your Zanpakuto counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances.
Zanjutsu Expert
By focusing less on Kido training, you put all of your time into physical training, and mastery of your skill with the blade. You gain +2 to Attack rolls with your Zanpakuto.
- Hoho
At 3rd level, by forgoing Kido training, you have learned to move at a greater pace then other Reapers. Your movement speed increases by 10. For 7 Reishi points as an action, you may push yourself to perform a Reapers Sprint, moving up to 3 times your movement speed and, until the end of your next turn, if a feature causes you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take half damage on a success, you instead take half as much damage on a failure and no damage on a success.
- Soul Resonation
At 7th level, you have focused long and hard, and now acknowledge that your blade, though made of your soul, has a will and soul of its own. Though you still do not know it's name, this bond allows you and your sword to synchronize to new heights in power. At 6th level your Zanpakuto has a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls and deals 1d12 slashing damage. At 9th level, your Zanpakuto has a +2 bonus. At 13th level your Zanpakuto has a +3 bonus.
- Shikai
At 10th level, through intense training and work on your skill with the blade, you have finally learned the name of your Zanpakuto. As a bonus action for 4 Reishi, you call your Zanpakuto's name, invoking it's power. All Shikai have their own unique special ability, work along side your DM to decide this ability based on your character's personality.
- Bankai
At 14th level, your weapon and you are one in the same. Your thoughts and emotions, your very wills are intertwined allowing you to draw forth the maximum power your weapon is capable of. You now gain critical hits with rolls of 19 or 20. While in Shikai form, another short phrase is uttered to unleash the power within for 4 additional Reishi, and work with your DM to find your weapons special ability that is added as an effect, such as a bonus to certain types of Bakudo or Hado, a boost to speed, or some special attack. You must spend an additional 4 Reishi at the end of each of your turns to maintain this form.
Kido Expert
As of 3rd level, you gain a +2 to your Spell Modifier and Save DCs. Kido masters seek to learn all of the known Bokudo in the Soul Society. They excel at situational analysis, and are usually well studied. Some Kido experts dream of learning all 99 or the known Bakudo, Kido, Barriers, and Seals that the Soul Reapers have at your disposal. Some of the more corrupted and seek to only gain power through the lost arts of the unnumbered Kido.
- Eishōhaki
at 3rd level, you have learned to cut the time on certain incantations without lowering their power. You may now cast Kido that would normally take 1 minute to prepare as an action. However if the incantation is part of the 100+ Kido (or more well known as "Forbidden Kido"), this effect does not take place.
- Mental Master
At 7th level, you have sharpened your mind far further then any Zanpakuto has ever been. Because of this, when calculating how many Kido you may have prepared at one time, you add your Intelligence modifier twice as opposed to once as normal.
- Nijū Eishō
At 10th level, you have learned to cast two Kido spells on the same action. However, when choosing Kido to cast, keep in mind that the total spell level of both Kido cast cannot exceed the current highest level Kido you can cast. (e.g. if you can cast a 4th level Kido at best, the two you choose to use can both be 2nd level, or a combo of a 3rd and 1st level Kido) In addition, when using this feature, Eishōhaki cannot take effect due to the taxation of the mind.
- Nijū Eishōhaki
At 14th level, your mind in sharper, sturdier, and more flexible then the strongest of any known Zanpakuto known to the Soul Society. You have learned how to control your Soul Pressure to the point that casting Two Kido at the same time is mere child's play. You may now use the effects of Nijū Eishō and Eishōhaki at the same time. In addition, the max spell slot level of the Kido that can be cast with Nijū Eishō is now equivalent to the max level of Kido you can cast + your Soul Reaper level divided by 5 rounded up. (e.g. Soul reaper level 14 = Max Kido slot + 3)

These clones are identical to the real deal to all the creatures under this effect's senses. These effects only effect creatures who have failed the Wisdom saving throw when you entered Bankai.
Sakanade
- Powerful Soul
While in Shikai, your Zanpakuto gains no additional properties due to the difficulty of mastering this weapon.
- Collapse, Sakanade
When you enter Bankai, all creatures within 240 ft. of you must succeed a Wisdom saving throw. On a success, they notice pink mist surrounding them. Any creature that breaths this mist has their entire perception of reality reversed, while you remain unaffected. Creatures not under these effects have advantage on attack rolls against creatures under these effects, and creatures under these effects have disadvantage on saving throws and contests against creatures not under these effects.
Wabisuke
- Powerful Soul
While in Shikai, your Zanpakuto gains no additional properties due to the difficulty of mastering this weapon.
- Raise Your Head, Wabisuke
While in Bankai, on a successful hit with Wabisuke, the weight of an object is doubled. If used against a creature, their speeds and distance to take falling damage is halved on every successful attack. If their speed becomes less than 5 ft., it becomes 0 and they must succeed a Strength saving throw or fall prone at the beginning of each of their turns, and removing the prone condition requires an action.
Sanpo Kenjū
- Powerful Soul
While in Shikai, your Zanpakuto gains no additional properties due to the difficulty of mastering this weapon.
- Summon, Sanpo Kenjū
When you enter Bankai, you summon 2 immortal, but relatively ineffectual creatures that mimic your every movement, one preceding and one following, to ensure at least one strike hits. The number of attacks you can make when you take the Attack action are tripled, but you may only change targets after every 3 attacks.
Zakuro
- Siphon, Zakuro
While in Shikai, your Zanpakuto's damage die becomes 2d12.
- Urozakuro
While in Bankai, you lose the effects of Shikai and you can fuse with any surface as a bonus action. Your senses apply to the entirety of the surface. If the surface is solid, you may cast spells or make Zanpakuto attacks from anywhere within the surface, and you may cast any number of spells on the same action as long as you can match the Reishi cost. While fused with a liquid or gaseous surface, you are immune to all damage except fire, force, and necrotic damage. When Bankai ends, you may appear anywhere touching your surface.
Gagaku Kairō
- Massacre the auspicious omens and come into being; respect the darkness as you become decrepit with age, Gagaku Kairō
While in Shikai, your Zanpakuto disappears. 3 Medium featureless spheres with gaping maws appear within 5 ft. of you. They are identical in statistics to you save for not needing to eat, sleep, see, hear, or breath, and have 60 ft. of blindsight. They all act on your turn, and desummon when Shikai ends.
- Gagaku Kairō
While in Bankai, a pair of massive jaws covering a 45 ft. radius circle. Any creature the starts its turn or comes within 5 ft. of this radius must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or take 4d6 magical slashing damage.
Kazeshini
- Reap, Kazeshini
While in Shikai, your Kazeshini becomes two kusarigama-like blades, which are thought to represent death, connected by a chain, thought to represent life. You regain 2 hit points at the end of each of your turns after you spend Reishi to maintain Shikai. You may spend additional Reishi at this time to regain an equal number of hit points.
- Fushi no Kōjyō
While in Bankai, Kazeshini's chains extend into a noose around your neck, further extending into a 30 ft. radius orb above you with chains loosely hanging from it. You must designate one other creature under the orb. You and the other creature become immune to all damage. You must spend 24 Reishi instead of the usual 8, between the two creatures unless both creatures decide otherwise or one can not contribute their amount.
Ikomikidomoe
Unlike any other Zanpakuto, Ikokimidomoe has multiple Shikai forms.
- Orbit the Stars, Ikomikidomoe
While in Shikai, Ikomikidomoe's own arm sprouts from your Zanpakuto's hilt. Your Zanpakuto gains +5 ft. of reach. In addition to your own attacks, you may make a Zanpakuto attack against any creature that enters, starts their turn, or leaves a 10 ft. radius of you without spending a reaction as Ikomikidomoe swipes at them autonomously.
- Jot Down Their Funerals/Hatch Out and Be Ruined, Ikomikidomoe
While in Shikai, Ikomikidomoe is summoned from the Zanpakuto's inner world into the physical world. It is under your control and acts on your turns. It uses the stat block of a draugr, save for having an equal number of hit points as you. You can make it use or end its Enlarge action, which no longer has a duration, for 4 Reishi as your action, and when you activate this Shikai, you may decide whether it is Enlarged or not. While not Enlarged, it loses its Maddening Presence action, and gains the following:
As both you and Ikomikidomoe's action, you spend 35 Reishi points to blast a gigantic concentration of Reiatsu in a direction of your choice. Each creature in a 200-foot cone originating from Ikomikidomoe must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 15d10 + your Dexterity modifier force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this damage or any objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried are instantly disintegrated. A disintegrated creature and everything it is wearing and carrying, except magic items, are reduced to a pile of fine gray dust.
If Ikomikidomoe is reduced to 0 hit points, your Zanpakuto is destroyed.
- Ikomikidomoe Hōraku Hakkei
While in Bankai, you can not use any of your Shikai. Instead, you gain all of Ikomikidomoe's actions (excluding Enlarge, though all actions act as they would if you were Enlarged, and including the Reiatsu blast), features, and ability scores that are better than your own, and you take on a form similar to a Visored Resurrección.
Final Bankai
The Final Bankai feature can only be gained by a true bond-of-bonds with your Zanpakuto. As an action, regardless of your level, you gain all of this class's features, not including those of subclasses you have not taken, for 1 minute, and you regain 20 Reishi and hit points at the end of each of your turns. At the end of this duration, your Zanpakuto shatters and you lose all features from this class. Your hit points and character level are uneffected. You can regain your previous features by gaining half as many experience points as it took to originally gain the level you gained the feature at (or through smaller milestones for milestone leveling), and you may change which subclass you chose. Your Zanpakuto must be reforged as well, which can only be done by a blacksmith of the highest order who can also commune with spirits.
