Burden of Anonymity

Level 3

Kill in the Shadows, Die in the Shadows

Like other Martyrs, you were chosen to accomplish great things and die for a noble cause. However, you were not destined for glory; no one will ever know your name. Martyrs chosen for the Burden of Anonymity work in the shadows to influence the world for the greater good, and will inevitably die in the shadows, unknown to all. Your divinely-appointed task might be secret, such as assassination or infiltration, and your role as a Martyr might be incognito, even to your allies. Anonymous Martyrs might disguise themselves as Paladins, mercenaries, or Rogues with hidden agendas and abundant conspiracies.

Burden of Anonymity Spells

Your mortal burden ensures you always have certain spells ready. When you reach a Martyr level specified in the Anonymity Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Anonymity Spells

Martyr Level	Spells
3	Disguise Self, Expeditious Retreat
5	Invisibility, Silence
9	Sending, Word of Transience
13	Arcane Eye, Greater Invisibility
17	Modify Memory, Passwall

Bonus Proficiencies

You gain proficiency in the Stealth skill and with Thieves' Tools.

Fade from View

When you roll Initiative, you can give yourself the Invisible condition until the end of your next turn. This condition ends early if you make an attack roll, deal damage, or cast a spell.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Short or Long Rest. You can also restore your use of it by taking 5 Radiant damage. This damage ignores Resistance and Immunity, and bypasses Temporary Hit Points.

Silent Sacrifice

Level 6

When you make an attack or damage roll that is improved by your Sacrifice feature against a target that can't see you, you don't take Radiant damage from using the feature and the target is magically silenced on a hit. Until the start of your next turn, the target can't speak, has the Deafened condition, and can't cast any spell that includes a Verbal component.

False Martyrdom

Level 14

When you take damage or use your Undying Conviction, you can convincingly fake your death. You teleport up to a known location within 10 miles of you at the same time that a duplicate corpse appears to take your place. The corpse is indistinguishable from you and wears nonmagical duplicates of your clothing and equipment. You can choose for the corpse to realistically bleed, mutter incoherently, and breathe shallowly for up to a minute. The corpse is unaffected by spells and other magical effects. The corpse and its clothing and equipment vanish after 10 days, or when you dismiss it as a Magic action or use this feature again.

Furthermore, if you covertly notify the GM, you can also convince other players of your death. You can roll Death Saving Throws as normal, ignoring successes, temporarily prepare a new character sheet, and so on.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Divine Assassin

Level 18

Your skill at remaining unseen grants you the following benefits.

Elusive Invisibility

While you have the Invisible condition, you have Advantage on saving throws.

Swift Disappearance

You can cast Invisibility and Greater Invisibility as a Bonus Action. You take half the normal Radiant damage from casting these spells.
