Slayer Action Card (Inspired Action) Inspired Resolve AP Cost: 1AP Effect: In this moment inspiration strikes you, to draw on your internal reserves to stay in the fight.

Trait of Power

1st Lvl Slayer Feature

Some Slayers gain power from their knowledge and research, others draw their power from their experience and wisdom, and then again others will draw power purely from their determination and force of will. When you gain this Feature choose either Knowledge, Intuition, or Determination, this Trait will be used for a number of your Class Features that will refer to this Feature.

You may use you Trait of Power instead of the normal Trait for Attack and Damage Rolls for your Weapon Attacks and Unarmed Strikes. You may also use your Trait of Power for Initiative Tests instead of the normal Trait.

When you gain this Feature, you may Learn two of the following Cantrips; Cosmic Bolt, Cosmic Strike, or another Cantrip with the Eldritch Spell Tag, using your Trait of Power as the Spellcasting Trait.


Channelling the Darkness

1st Lvl Slayer Feature

You gain the ability to channel your will and the supernatural power within you sealed by your pact, into aiding you in your adventures. Be warned accessing such power comes with its own risk, for the more you call upon your power the greater the risk of the Inner Darkness taking control. You start with two such actions: Hear the Darkness’ Call and Imbue with Darkness.

Some Channelling the Darkness effects require a Trait Test. When you use such an effect from this Class, the TG equals 8 + your SB + your Trait of Power.

You may use this Feature a number of times up to your Skill Bonus, replenishing expended uses upon completing a Short or Long Rest. You may also expend a Hit Die to replenish two expended uses of this Feature.

Slayer Action Card (Channel the Darkness Action) Hear the Darkness’ Call AP Cost: 2AP Range: 12m | At Range Duration: 10 Minutes Effect: You channel the power of your Inner Darkness to detect the influence of other Realms. For the Duration, you know if there is an entity with your Order’s Nemesis Entity Type or a Demi-Eternal, Dreamed, Fae, Masked, Outsider, Primordial, or Undead within Range, as well as where the entity is located. Similarly, you know if there is a place or object within Range that has been magically consecrated or desecrated, that is infused or contains a portal to another Realm (this ability will inform you of which Realm the energies come from), and the presence and location of Poisons, poisonous entities, and Diseases (in each case you can identify the type of Poison, entity, or Disease). The Range is doubled for detecting the presence of your Order’s Nemesis Entity Type. The ability can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 0.5m of stone, 2.5cm of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 1m of wood or dirt. Slayer Action Card (Channel the Darkness Action) Imbue with Darkness AP Cost: 1AP Effect: You channel your Inner Darkness’ power into your weapon or fists. Until you next complete a Short or Long Rest, one Weapon you are holding, or your Unarmed Strikes gain the Silvered Weapon Property and deal an additional 1d4 damage of your Order’s Associated Damage Type. On a Critical Hit, the Target also gains two Degrees of the Burned (the Imbued Damage Type) condition. A Weapon and your Unarmed Strikes can maintain only one active Imbuing at a time. Other entities can’t gain the benefit of your Imbuing. You can only maintain one Imbuing at a time (your entire body for your Unarmed Strikes is considered one Imbuing Target even if only specific parts are considered Natural Weapons). The damage dealt by this effect increases as you gain Levels in the Slayer Class replacing the 1d4 with larger sized die as shown in the “Darkness Damage Die” column of the Slayer Class Table.

Note the number of times you have used each Channel the Darkness action, once you have used that action more times than half your SB, you must make a Resist Test each time you use the action. Upon completing a Short Rest, you may reduce the count by 1, and every time you complete a Long Rest you may reset the count.

The Inner Darkness

When using certain Features presented by this Class, there is a chance you will lose control over the darkness within you. The Class Feature may call for a Resist Test. The Resist Test is a Focus Skill Roll using your Trait of Power. The TG of the Resist Test equals 8 + your SB + your Trait of Power. You may expend a Hit Die to give yourself Advantage on this Test.

If you are under the effects of the Bloodied condition, you make the Resist Test at Disadvantage, whereas if you are under the Desperation condition the Test is made with two counts of Disadvantage and the Critical Failure Scope increases by 2. If you’re Concentrating on a spell or are under an effect that prevents you from Concentrating (such as the Mind Lock condition), you automatically fail this Test.

If you fail the Test, you suffer a negative effect listed in your Consumed by Darkness effect in your Slayer’s Order. This ability will have three effects, the first is the immediate effect that you have to resolve before doing anything else.

The second and third effects are a roleplay effect, a temporary change in mood or attitude, and also the Flawed Concept may be Invoked during the Duration of the roleplay effect for free by the GG when a key emotion decided by you and the GG is strongly present in the scene surrounding you.

As part of gaining this Feature, you gain an additional Flawed Concept, you decide its exact wording to fit your Character but at its base it should be themed around the Darkness Within.

Once per Turn, when you hit a Marked entity, with a Weapon Attack or Unarmed Strike, you deal an extra Entropic damage to the Target equal to half your SB number of rolls of your Darkness Damage Die. If the Marked condition is applied to your Order’s Nemesis Entity Type, these Darkness Damage Die apply their maximum result.

You also have Advantage on any Trait Tests as part of the Seek action made to find an entity Marked by you.


Tools of the Enemy

2nd Lvl Slayer Feature

You can channel the power of your pact into a unique effect to better channel your enemy’s own power against them. You can choose to either gain the Bound Weapon, Haema Goetia, or Spellcasting Class Feature.


Bound Weapon

You carry a weapon made from the bound form of one of your Order’s fiercest enemies. You gain the Summon Bound Weapon action.

Slayer Action Card Summon Bound Weapon AP Cost: 1AP Effect: You summon your Bound Weapon into the form of a Melee Weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this Weapon takes each time you use this action, the chosen form must be a Melee Weapon. You can reuse this action while the Weapon is summoned to change its form. Whilst summoned via this action you can dismiss the Bound Weapon for 0AP. Otherwise your Bound Weapon dissipates if it is more than 1m away from you for 1 Minute, if you are Incapacitated, or if you Die.

You can transform one Magic Weapon into your Bound Weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the Weapon, allowing the bound entity to meld with the Weapon. You perform the ritual as an Activity during a Short or Long Rest, which can occur simultaneously to forming a Soulbond with the Weapon. You can then dismiss the Weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you call your Bound Weapon thereafter, you may still determine the form the Weapon takes with it carrying over the Magic Item’s effects. You can’t affect a Sentient Weapon in this way.

The Weapon ceases being your Bound Weapon if you Die, if you perform the ritual on a different Weapon, or if you use a ritual to break your Soulbond to it. The Weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.

Your Bound Weapon has the following special abilities:

  • Arcane Foci. This Weapon is a Spellcasting Focus for you and is a Magic Weapon with a Magic Bonus to Attack and Damage Rolls equal to half your Skill Bonus.

  • Innate Weapon Focus. You always have access to the Weapon Focus Property of the current Form of your Spirit Weapon.

  • Bonded Power. When you deal damage with this Weapon, you may choose to replace the Damage Type of the Weapon with your Order’s Associated Damage Type.

  • Cruel Sentience. This is a Sentient Magic Weapon. The Critical Hit and Critical Failure Scope for the Bound Weapon increases by 2.

    On a Critical Failure, you must expend one unexpended Hit Die, take Entropic damage equal to two rolls of your Darkness Damage Die, and must make a Resist Test with Disadvantage. If you do not have any unexpended Hit Dice remaining when this occurs the Darkness Damage Die instead automatically roll their maximum result.

  • Shadow Blade. When you use the Summon Bound Weapon action, if the summoned Weapon is in a form that does not have the Two-Handed Weapon Property and both hands are free, you can summon a Shadow Blade in your other hand with the same Weapon form.

Haema Goetia - Important Note

Please note, this Feature is intended to utilise your bodies internal reserves of vitality through expending unused Hit Die, or channelling blood from injuries inflicted by opponents in combat. It is not intended as a Feature that encourages the roleplaying of self-harm. If you are choosing to take this Feature, please check in with your fellow Players and GG discussing how you are intending to roleplay and utilise this Feature, effectively checking to be sure that the Feature and how you intend to use it does not cross anyone's boundaries. If your particular use of the Feature would be an issue for any number of Players or the GG, discuss how you can alter your roleplay to allow its continued use, though if any Player or GG is entirely uncomfortable with the Features use do not take this Feature. Be also sure during play to have Safety Tools in place to be sure everyone is comfortable during play with this Feature’s use.


Spellcasting

As part of your pact, you have unlocked the ability to cast Cosmic Magic. You gain the Spellcaster and Cosmic Magic Class Tags. See the Magic Chapter of the Core Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Cosmic Spell List.

Spell List: Cosmic

Spellcasting Trait: Your Trait of Power

Spell TG: 8 + your SB + your Spellcasting Trait

Spell Attack Modifier: Your SB + your Spellcasting Trait

Spellcasting Focus: Arcane Focus

Pact Magic

Pact magic is fuelled from your pact, as such it doesn’t follow the traditional rules for spellcasting. The largest change is you are able to replenish Pact Magic Spell Slots when you complete a Short or Long Rest.

The Spellcasting Table below shows how many Pact Magic Spell Slots you have to cast your spells of 1st through 5th Circle in the “Pact Slots” column. The Table also shows what the Circle of those Slots is in the “Pact Slot Circle” column; all of your Spell Slots are the same Circle.

Preparing Pact Magic

During a Short or Long Rest, you can change the spells you Prepared. The number of spells you can Prepare equals Spellcasting Trait + half your Slayer Level (minimum of 1). When you complete a Short Rest, you can replace one Prepared spell with one not currently Prepared.

Order Spells

Each pact with a Slayer’s Order has a list of spells, known as Order Spells, that you gain at the Slayer Levels noted in the Order’s description. Once you gain an Order Spell, you always have it Prepared.

If you have an Order Spell that doesn’t appear on the Cosmic Spell List, the spell is nonetheless a Cosmic spell for you.

Alternative Order Spell Lists

Some Orders may state that you use the Eternal or Primordial Spell List instead of the Cosmic Spell List. If this occurs, replace mention of Cosmic spells and the Cosmic Spell List for Slayer Features with spells and Spell Lists of the new magic type.

If you do not have access to the Cosmic Spell List, you treat all Cosmic spells that have the Eldritch Spell Tag as part of the new Spell List, treating them as the new kind of spell for you.

Marked Condition

If you apply the Marked condition to a Target, the following modifications to the Marked condition presented in the Experienced Hunter Feature are applied in the following ways:

  • When the condition is applied, choose a Trait. All Trait Tests, bar Attack Rolls, made using the chosen Trait for the Marked Target are made at Disadvantage.

  • If the first Attack Roll you hit the Marked Target with in a Turn was a spell, it Triggers the Marked condition’s additional Entropic damage. For every two spell Circles above 1st, increase the additional Entropic damage by 1d6.

Cosmic Strike

You learn the Cosmic Strike Cantrip, if you already Learnt it choose another to Learn. The Cosmic Strike Cantrip is treated as having the Eldritch Spell Tag for you. When using this Cantrip, the Critical Hit Scope for its Attack Roll increases by half your SB. When you use the Cosmic Strike Cantrip, instead of the normal effect of the spell, use the following effect:

Choose either Acid, Cold, Entropic, Fire, Force, Lightning, Poison, or Radiant damage. Make a melee Spell Attack using the Weapon that was the Component for this casting.

On a hit, the Target takes the normal effect of that Weapon and is dealt an additional 1d8 damage of your chosen Damage Type. The Target must then make a Determination Test.

On a failed Test, you may Target any other entity within the AoC of the original Target, the initial victim lets out a horrified scream as strange eldritch energies seeps from their skull into the heart of the chosen Target trying to tear them apart from the inside. This second Target takes 1d8 Entropic damage, this damage is doubled if both Targets have a Shared Bond Concept.

You may also choose any single common action listed in the Actions in Combat section of the Active Time Chapter that costs AP. If the Target performs this action during their next Turn, they and the second Target take 1d8 Entropic damage of the chosen Type for each time they perform the action, this is doubled for both of them if they have a Shared Bond Concept.

The damage increases due to being Higher Level, applies to all instances of damage applied by the Cantrip.
