Chain of Dominion​

  • You gain the benefits of the Pact of the Chain feature, as if granted by the Eldritch Invocation of the same name.
  • You can mentally communicate with any creature you have summoned or created, and you can issue commands to it for its next turn without using an action. If such a creature has a different initiative count than your own, you can have it instead act on your turn.

  • At Level 17: When a creature you summoned or created makes an attack roll, it can add your proficiency bonus to its attack roll.

Guardian's Benediction​

Whenever you affect an allied creature with a spell or ability, you can imbue it with one of the following benefits:

  • Reaction option: The target can use its reaction to make a single weapon attack or cast a cantrip. At Level 9: The target can instead cast a spell of 3rd level or lower. At Level 17: The target can make two attacks, or cast a spell of 7th level or lower.
  • Temporary vitality: The target gains temporary hit points equal to three times your proficiency bonus.
  • Condition removal: The target can have one condition removed. The conditions you can choose from depend on your character level. Level 1: Grappled, prone, blinded, deafened, or poisoned. Level 9: You can also choose restrained, charmed, or frightened. Level 17: You can also choose paralyzed, petrified, or stunned.

After removing a condition in this way, roll one of your Hit Dice, add your Constitution modifier, and lose that much HP. This damage does not trigger concentration checks.

Warlord's Banner​

  • Every time you use an effect that refers to "you" as the caster of the effect, you may extend that effect so that it also applies to an ally within 60 feet of you, as if the effect instead said "you and your chosen ally".
  • This ability only works on effects that target only you.
  • An ally can choose not to receive this effect.
  • The ability always works for spells that target only you, regardless of their wording.

Martyr's Vow​

  • When you roll initiative, you can choose a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus.
  • Whenever one of the chosen creatures takes damage, that damage is reduced by an amount equal to your Constitution modifier, and you take the same amount instead.
  • At Level 11: The reduction equals half your Constitution score, and you take that amount of damage.
  • At Level 17: The reduction equals your full Constitution score, but you take half of the reduced damage instead.

Living Arsenal​

  • When you make an attack roll with a weapon, you can choose to become proficient with that weapon for the duration of the attack, and you may use any ability score of your choice for the attack and damage rolls.
  • When you make an attack with a thrown weapon, it returns to your hand immediately after the attack, whether it hits or misses.
  • Your weapon's reach increases by 5 feet if it is a melee weapon.
  • If the weapon does not already have the thrown property, it gains thrown (10/30).
  • The weapon's normal, long, and thrown ranges are doubled.
  • You ignore the 13 Strength requirement of heavy weapons.

Titan's Shackles​

  • When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can choose to grapple the target. No separate check is required.
  • A grappled creature can only escape by succeeding on a contested Athletics or Acrobatics check against your Athletics check at the end of its turn. It can also use its action to attempt the check.
  • At Level 9: You can use your bonus action to impose the Restrained condition on a creature you are grappling, provided it is no more than one size larger than you. Doing so grants advantage on all attacks against you. Both effects end at the start of your next turn or when the grapple ends.
  • At Level 17: Whenever you would try to impose the Restrained condition on a target, you can choose to instead reveal weak points in the enemy. If you do so, the target is not restrained. Instead, until the start of your next turn, any creature that hits it with an attack deals extra damage to it equal to your Constitution score. This extra damage is of the same type as the attack's damage. A target can only take this extra damage ten times per use of this feature.

Grace of Steel​

Artisan's Soul​

  • When you use a magic item and choose to use the item's save DC, you can increase that DC by a number equal to your proficiency bonus for checks with the tool used in the item's creation.
  • Once per day as a bonus action, you can restore 1d4 + 1 charges to a magic item you are attuned to.
  • Once per week, you can make a special crafting check in addition to your normal daily crafting checks. For this purpose, a week is counted from Monday to Sunday.

Kindred Spirit​

  • Once per day, whenever you summon, create, or call upon a creature, you may designate it as your companion. If you do, you cannot summon, create, call upon, or reassert control over other creatures, other than your companion.
  • You may only have one companion at any given point.
  • You can remove your companion as a free action, which kills the creature and severs your connection to it.
  • Your companion's maximum HP increases by 20.
  • Once per day, if your companion has been reduced to 0 HP within the last combat round, you may use an action to revive it with full hit points in an unoccupied space closest to you.
  • At Level 5: Once per turn, whenever you take the Attack action or cast a spell, your companion may move up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
  • At Level 13: Whenever your companion takes the Attack action, it may make another attack as part of the same action.

Sanguine Regeneration​

  • At the start of your turn in combat, you regain hit points equal to your proficiency bonus, if you have at least 1 hit point.
  • At Level 5: As an action you can touch a willing creature. That creature regains hit points equal to half your hit point maximum. You lose hit points equal to half your hit point maximum, and this damage cannot be reduced in any way. You can use this feature half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, times per day.

  • At Level 17: For the purposes of spells and effects, you can choose to be at any amount of hit points. In addition, your innate healing and hit point maximum can't be reduced in any way.
