Talk:Sin of Wrath, 4th Variant (5e Class)

The Sin of Wrath

This class is based off of one of the characters of the Nanatsu No Taizai/The Seven Deadly Sins, Meliodas, The Dragon Sin and is primarily a fighting class with demon powers from your heritage. This class comes with a constant struggle of trying to contain your evil nature.

demon clan

According to the Lady of the Lake, the Demon Clan and their realm were created by the Demon King, after he was created by Chaos, alongside the Supreme Deity and the Sacred Tree.[1]

3,000 years ago, the Demon Clan constantly clashed with the Goddess Clan due to the bitter rivalry between their two rulers. Their elite group of warriors are the Ten Commandments, who were handpicked by the Demon King due to their power. Many demons consider themselves above those of other races for their great power, especially humans. However, the two legendary clans were largely evenly matched and thus a tentative balance was created. At some point in time, the Goddess Clan broke a treaty with them, and even slaughtered many women and children they were holding as prisoners of war.

At some point, the Vampires became allies yet subservients to the Demon Clan. When the leader of the Commandments, Meliodas, betrayed his own people for his alliance and relationship with the powerful goddess, Elizabeth, and severely crippled their strength by killing two members of the Ten Commandments when escaping, it indirectly caused two events: The Goddesses seized the opportunity to destroy the Demons once and for all, who waged a great war against the Goddess Clan after they allied with the Giant Clan, Fairy Clan and eventually the humans. The Vampire Clan decided to rebel during this time as the Demon Clan got weaker, but still got single-handedly defeated and sealed away.

As a result, the Demon Clan was ultimately defeated by the Goddess Clan and their allied clans, being sealed away in the Coffin of Eternal Darkness for many years. In spite of their fate though, a few demons managed to escape from or avoid the seal completely, namely a single Red Demon, a single Gray Demon, and Fraudrin of the Ten Commandments. The latter would spend sixteen years trying to find a way to break the seal and to resurrect his clan, so they could take over the land of Britannia.

The Demon Clan conquering Britannia The Demon Clan conquering Britannia.

The other nine members of the Commandments were eventually resurrected when Hendrickson manages to break the seal in present day. Their biggest threat on their way to conquer the continent once more was in fact one of their own kind; Meliodas, their former leader and the oldest son/heir of the Demon King, who was still alive thanks to the Supreme Deity's curse of eternal life.

After organizing a fighting festival to lure Meliodas into a trap, they managed to kill him and begin the conquest of Britannia in the following month, taking the souls of every human they come across in order to regain their strength. However, when the Ten Commandments tries to conquer the kingdom of Liones, they are eventually stopped by the group formed with the goal of destroying them, the Seven Deadly Sins, as well as Meliodas who was resurrected due to his curse.

The remaining members of the Ten Commandments, Zeldris and Estarossa, took refuge in their established base in the kingdom of Camelot, where they sacrificed human souls in order to completely break the seal and liberate the entire Demon Clan. Eventually, the fearsome Cusack and Chandler joins them, as did Meliodas, who had decided to become the new Demon King to break the curse on him and Elizabeth after making a deal with his brothers.

When the Four Archangels of the Goddess Clan "revive" to join Elizabeth, the Seven Deadly Sins and the humans against them, the Demon Clan faces a new Holy War.

While the lower limbs of the Demon Clan fight on the battlefield, Zeldris, Estarossa, Cusack and Chandler face the united forces of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Archangels. Estarossa is then revealed as the fourth member of the Archangels, Mael, whose identity had been altered 3,000 years ago by the demon Gowther. After removing Mael from the madness caused by the Commandments he had absorbed, he joins the fight against Zeldris and the unified Original Demon. Although both are defeated, Meliodas, who had managed to absorb the ten Commandments, is converted into the vessel of the Demon King.

Finally, with the defeat of the Demon King, the remaining members of the Demon Clan withdraw from Britannia, thus concluding the Holy War. However, the Demon King manages to revive once again by taking Zeldris as his new vessel and plans to conquer Britannia himself as its new god. To save his brother, Meliodas journeys with Elizabeth to Lake Salisbury to stop his father and nearly loses Zeldris forever until the rest of the Sins appear and help Meliodas to convince Zeldris to fight against his father, alongside Gelda who appears to help free her lover from the Demon King's grasp and force him out of Zeldris' body.

In a last-ditch effort to destroy his traitorous sons, the Sins, Elizabeth, and Gelda, the Demon King uses the Commandments to possess the ground of Britannia itself but the Sins combine their energy together to destroy his subsitute vessel and Meliodas destroys the Commandments forever by sacrificing his godly power to ensure his father can never return again, thus ending the fight once and for all.

AppearanceEdit Many of the Demon Clan have monstrous appearances. There are several known types, each with its own appearance, identified by colors, such as Red Demons or Gray Demons.

However, some demons do not fall into these categories, namely the Ten Commandments and Meliodas. Human-like demons can be distinguished by their pitch black eyes and black markings on their skin.

PhysiologyEdit Unlike humans, Demons have more than one heart. The number of hearts varies, although upper-level demons have seven hearts. The removal or destruction of a single heart does not incur death, although it is painful. Destroying all their hearts, regardless of their strength, will kill them.[2]

Some demons have black markings on their face, which vary from demon to demon. Because of its many uses, many demons find it convenient to keep their bodies or weapons cloaked in darkness constantly to various degrees, Demons that do such include members of the Ten Commandments Grayroad, Melascula, Derieri and Monspeet, as well as the highest-ranking demon Cusack.

Drinking the blood of a demon may give non-demons enhanced strength and magical power, if they are compatible. If they are not, they will explode. Demonic blood may naturally or forcibly turn the drinker into a demon themselves, a process that can be reversed either by removing their demonic plant or through the power of the goddesse

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.

Powers

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.

Unarmored Defense

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 2d4.

At Full Counter level 2 will return the decided damage and adds an extra 3d4.

Reckless Attack

Starting at 4th 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.

gollark: Working internet service with reasonable speed but awful hardware is kind of better than terrible expensive internet which you can use different stuff with.
gollark: That doesn't actually help, though.
gollark: It says "up to 492Kbps" downlinks on "high-end terminals" as a "best effort" on that BGAN thing...
gollark: The actual IPoAC standard requires duct-taping paper to the pigeon, I think, but if you use the nonstandard method of having them, say, carry micro-SD cards, you get better bandwidth.
gollark: IP over Avian Carriers!
