Soul points: Starting at level 1 a shadowed veteran learns to feed from the life energies of others. Absorbing small fragments of other's life force whenever they strike other living creatures with their abyssal weaponry. For every 3 points of damage the shadowed veteran deals with their Abyssal weaponry they gain 1 soul point to use as they wish. Whenever an Abyssal weapon is used to bring a living sentient creature to their death, they receive an additional 10 soul points These soul points are cumulative towards one another, however as time passes the additional life force is extinguished. A Shadowed Veteran may only keep new soul points for 1 hour until they are lost. These points may be used to activate a shadowed veterans abilities.
Abyssal weaponry:Starting at level 1 a shadowed veteran may control the dark energies within their body to form weaponry for them to use. At level 1 they may use the energies within themselves to form a shadowed shotgun or long blade. Creating these weapons acts as if drawing a weapon, forming immediately to the location on their body that they wish. Discarding a weapon formed in this way immediately disperses it in a puff of negative energy which is absorbed back into the body.
at level 1 a shadowed veteran may manifesting your energies into the form of a short range blasting compact crossbow that shoots a loud blast of negative energy in the form of small solid pellets. The weapon deals 2d4 piercing damage, crit 19--20 x2, with a range of 20ft. Whenever these weapons are summoned they come fully loaded with their ammunition, however due to their demonic nature may only ever hold 4 ammunition at once(reloading requires a full round action). Due to the impracticality of reloading the weapon, some shadowed veterans prefer to simply discard their weapon to the side when they have used up the ammo inside their weapons, having the ability to summon another whenever they wish.
At level 1, another weapon a shadowed veteran may manifest is a long curved blade of physical shadow. The sword itself is as strong as steel and always razor sharp. The sword itself deals 1d8 damage, crit 19-20 x3. Every swing with the sword is silent and makes no noise.
reformation: Starting at level 1 A shadowed veteran can consume the life forces they have collected to their their bodies of physical wounds.

Shadow Walk: Starting at level 3 A shadowed Veteran may envelope themselves in shadows and use their dark energies to appear in another location of their choice. With a move equivalent action and by spending soul points equal to 1 soul point per 5ft, they may designate a square within sight to which you will teleport to in the following round.
Cursed soul: Starting at level 4 a shadowed veteran may begin to pull life energies from their own soul to power themselves. Doing so however pulls a great strain on them and may only safely pull total amount of soul points from themselves equaling their shadowed veteran level x charisma modifier per day. A Shadowed Veteran may use this ability as a swift action.
Abyssal Weaponry(Scythe): Starting at level 5 a Shadowed Veteran may now Materialize a shadowed scythe made from negative energy. It is considered a two-handed slashing weapon that deals 2d4 damage, Crit of 20 x4.
Wraith Form: Starting at level 6 a shadowed veteran may use the energies they hold in reserve to unravel their physical body temporarily. Doing so turns their body incorporeal, able to move around the world as an insubstantial shadowy mist. their material armor (including natural armor) becomes worthless, though their size, Dexterity, deflection bonuses, and armor bonuses from force effects still apply to them. the Shadowed Veteran also gains a damage reduction equal to 10/magic and becomes immune to poisons and critical hits.
A Shadowed veteran in their wraith form can not run, but they may fly at a speed of 20 feet (maneuverability perfect). They may pass through small holes or narrow openings, even mere cracks, with all they are wearing or holding in their hands, as long as they assume the Wraith form. A shadowed Veteran may bring themselves into their wraith form with a standard action and 10 soul points. They may stay in this form as long as they spend 10 soul points, in order for them to stay in their wraith form they must spend an additional 10 points or immediately exit out of their wraith form.
Deaths Blossom: Starting at level 8 a Shadowed Veteran gains their ultimate ability, a devastating art known as a Death Blossom. With a full round action and by spending 50 soul points you may initiate a Death Blossom. When activated you summon the negative energy within your body to summon multitudes of any Abyssal weapon you have access to. These weapons swirl and attack in all directions. When activating this ability the Shadowed Veteran may perform a full round attack against all within the weapons of you. when performing the full round attack you will roll the attacks for your weapon and then compare them to all of your targets, one roll for all targets per attack. you may spend 25 soul points to continue a Death blossom to the next round, as well as make a 15ft free movement. This may be continued as long as you have enough soul points.
Abyss born weapons: Starting at level 9, Whenever a Shadowed Veteran summons their weapon they may also consume 5 soul points while doing so. If they consume these points the weapon of their choice gains an Abyssal ability depending on the weapon.
Abyssal shotguns: Whenever the weapon deals damage, their dice now explode in damage. Whenever a dice rolls their maximum number, you may re roll and add the result, repeating if necessary. (Example: while rolling 2d4 I roll a 2, and a 4. I re roll the 4 and get a 3. adding the results I deal 2+4+3=9 damage with my weapon.)
Abyssal long blade: The blade is near invisible when summoned a dc spot check equal to 10+Shadowed Veteran's sleight of hand skill+d20 to notice that the blade is their. If they the target does not notice the blade, they are considered flat-footed for their attacks. After every attack the target gains a +2 misc bonus to their spot, as their blood begins to cover the blade.

All creatures 5ft from the hit target will also be dealt half the weapons damage,reflex 10+1/2 Shadowed Veteran Level+Chr modifier to avoid splash damage.
When using their Abyss born weapon ability on the shadow grenades, those damaged by the attack are unable to move from their location from one round as the souls used to create the bomb grab a hold of and anchor them to their location. A fortitude save equal to 10+1/2 Shadowed Veteran level+ Chr modifier +1/5 soul points spent on the bomb(not including the Abyss born weapon ability.) will negate this effect on the target.

Head Hunter
Journeyman:A Head Hunter is a shadowed veteran that has become so malicious towards killing and consuming their souls that their own body begins to become corrupted in their journey to kill more and more. At level 15 the shadowed Veteran gains the Undead Template as well as gains additional Health points per level equal to their Charisma Modifier instead of their constitution. Their bodies radiating an aura of evil equal to their level and now gaining 20 soul points whenever they are to kill a living target.
Expert:True to their name, A Head Hunter has Learned to transform their Abyssal weapons to a true decapitator. At level 18, a shadowed Veteran gains access to an obsidian two handed long axe. This Razor sharp Axe deals 2d8 slashing damage crit 19-20 x3. When activating their Abyss born weapon ability, the Long axe gains the Vorpal ability.
Master: A Master Head Hunter consumes the souls of others for with deft brutality and precision. In doing so they have learned to harness the dark energies within themselves to create their own steed to ride into battle on. As a full round action a Master Head Hunter may create a shadowed Nightmare mount for them to ride in. This mount has a total of 1/2 the health points as the Shadowed Veteran and may be commanded mentally by the one who created the mount. The Mount in fact is not a sentient creature but is an extension of the Shadowed Veteran, because of this a Shadowed head hunter gains no penalties while riding the Nightmare and may act and do all actions as if they were not riding a mount.
Notes: This is a class based off of the video game character Reaper from Blizzards: Overwatch. I have made a number of the characters into dnd 3.5 form, basing them mostly off of team work and tactical use on a battlefield.
