Death Knight
Subclass features
Death Knight
Level 3Crush Your Foes with Your Iron Fist
Some Necromancers are content to sit in dusty tombs with moldering tomes, occasionally picking apart a battlefield for fresh ingredients and new company. By contrast, Death Knights are predators among scavengers, seizing their goals through a melding of magic and traditional combat. Bolstered with dark energies and sturdy armor, the Death Knight wields weapons edged with death itself. They are simultaneously the vanguard and general of their Undead forces, unafraid of getting their hands dirty when necessary.
Combat Research
Your training in the art of war grants you the following benefits.
Martial Training
You gain proficiency with Martial weapons and training with Light armor, Medium armor, and Shields.
Charnel Strike
When you take the Attack action, you can use your Charnel Touch as a Bonus Action.
Intelligent Armor
While you are wearing armor, you can add your Intelligence modifier, instead of your Dexterity modifier, to your Armor Class.
Somatic Components
You can perform the Somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a Shield in one or both hands.
Charnel Resilience
When you deal Necrotic damage with your ValdaSpire24, you gain Temporary Hit Points equal to the Necrotic damage dealt.
Extra Attack
Level 6You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
In addition, you can cast one of your cantrips that has a casting time of an action in place of one of those attacks.
Overcharged Thralls
Level 10When one of your thralls is reduced to 0 Hit Points or you release it, you regain a number of expended ValdaSpire24 points equal to your Necromancer level.
Imperator [Lichdom]
Level 20You have reached the pinnacle of Necromancy and transformed yourself into a lich. Due to your martial capabilities and inner nexus of necromantic power, you have transformed into an imperator lich—an Undead creature unmatched in both arcane and combat prowess. You gain the following benefits in addition to those of your Lichdom feature.
Damage Resistance
You gain Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage.
Two Extra Attacks
You can attack three times instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Peerless Necrotic Damage
