D&D 5e Base Class Contest XI: Signature Creation

[MoleMage]

Welcome to the eleventh homebrew base class competition. The goal here is to create an original base class for 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons. Please only place your class submissions in this thread and leave other comments for the chat thread. The rules for the contest are as follows.

1) The class you homebrew should fit the theme. You can interpret the theme as broadly as you like without risk of disqualification, but doing so may reduce your chances of earning votes during the voting period. This contest, the theme is Classes that grant a signature trait. Suggestions offered include wielders of bonded heirlooms, specialists in a single weapon, or ultra-focused spellcasters who have mastered just one or two spells so completely it looks like they know more.


2) You may only create one base class. If you create more than one class then you must choose which one to enter and remove all the others from this thread and the contest (making them invalid) . If you do not specify which one you favor by the time voting begins, all of your content is invalid.
3) When you submit your class you must create a post on this thread which either has the content or holds a link to it. You may also optionally create one other individual thread for your class on the homebrew design sub-forum. If it is found that you have revealed your class on another site or on another thread than one on the homebrew design sub-forum, your entry will be considered invalid. If you do make a specific thread for you class, please mention its involvement to the competition in that thread. If you use external formatting resources such as Homebrewery, or GMBinder it is recommended that you also create a PDF of the content and share it here.
4) You may use other homebrew content (such as feats, spells, magical items and monsters) or even features to supplement your class, provided you have permission from the original creator and provide links to the source. Failure to receive permission from the original creation will disqualify you from entry in the current contest.
5) Your class must have fully completed mechanics and descriptions for it to be valid. Entries are due by 11:59 PM Central Time on the deadline below. Any submissions after this point are invalid. No changes can be made to your class while voting is taking place. Failure to comply with the previous rule will result in disqualification.
6) Any content which has been declared invalid by the rules above cannot be voted for, but you may decide to remove it from the contest and create another class instead. If you are disqualified then you are not allowed to enter any more homebrew for this competition, though you may still vote and later enter the next competition.
7) Please note that misunderstandings occur, if you break a rule which results in disqualification it might be excused if you can convince the group that it was a result of confusion over the rules.


Keep in mind that this contest is entirely for recreational purposes and there is no reward (aside from bragging rights) for someone who succeeds. Let us begin!

Class Features
The following are class features of the Kombatant.

Kombo
At first level, when you use your action to attack unarmed, you may make two attacks, and if you deal damage to an opponent with either attack, you may attack unarmed as a bonus action. When you use Kombo, your attacks deal 1 + your strength modifier damage and use your strength on the attack roll. Anything that changes your unarmed damage or allows you to use your dexterity modifier instead, including racial abilities, does not apply when you use Kombo.

Glistening Abs
When you are unarmored and not wielding a shield, your armor class is equal to 10 + your strength modifier + your dexterity modifier.

Basic Move List
At second level, your ability to string several blows together allows the performance of some universal Kombat maneuvers that are necessary for a serious Kombatant. Whenever you deal damage with an unarmed strike, you gain a Kombo point, and you can use your bonus action to give yourself two Kombo points automatically. Kombo points disappear at the start of your turn if you haven't dealt damage or taken damage since the beginning of your last turn. Spending Kombo points never counts as an action, but if it enhances or allows an attack, you must spend the Kombo points before the attack roll. Kombo points can be spent on three different moves at second level:

Spoiler: Basic Move List

Flip Jump: You may spend 1 Kombo point to jump up to ten feet up and up to fifteen feet horizontally in any direction. You may move through an opponent's space or threatened squares with this maneuver without drawing opportunity attacks.

Leg Sweep: You may spend 1 Kombo point to enhance an unarmed strike. In addition to normal damage, on a hit the target must make a dexterity save vs a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your dexterity modifier or fall prone.

Uppercut: You may spend 2 Kombo points to enhance an unarmed strike. You deal one additional damage and the opponent must make a strength save vs a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your strength modifier or be knocked back ten feet and fall prone.

“The Monster”

Spoiler: Outline

Show

Class: The Monster
This Class is presented with the goal of allowing you to become the monster of your nightmares. Subclasses are intended to provide more narrowly defined abilities to help you customize your monster for its particular role.

Note: this class best models creatures with vaguely humanoid forms, Vampire, Wolfman, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Creature from the Black Lagoon. These concepts can be stretched, (Mindflayer, Were-Winter-Wolf and Efreet come to mind) but creatures like a Chuul or Nightmare might be possible but require a lot more adjudication from the DM, not really fair to them, so maybe try to keep it simple.

As a general rule, Mystic Powers is intended to cover the many supernatural powers monsters have, if you want to be a fire breathing Dragon, the Unnatural Assault feature can cover you fairly well. If you want to be a Nightmare, Misty Step, blink, and Much later, Etherealness are your friends. Medusa? Take Unnatural Assault for psychic damage as your gaze and declare creatures slain by your Gaze are turned to stone. Later take Stunning Assault and eventually mystic powers for Flesh to Stone, but a such powerful Medusa might be able to summon a wall composed of all her stony victims (wall of stone) or transform stone into a slurry of flesh (Transmute Rock to Mud). Have as much fun as humanly possible with it if the DM gives you the thumbs up.

Martial Arts: Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of Combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk Weapons, which are shortswords and any simple Melee Weapons that don't have the Two-Handed or heavy property.

You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk Weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a Shield.

• You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the Attack and Damage Rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk Weapons.

• You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strike or monk weapon.

• When you use the Attack action with an Unarmed Strike or a monk weapon on Your Turn, you can make one Unarmed Strike as a Bonus Action. For example, if you take the Attack action and Attack with a Quarterstaff, you can also make an Unarmed Strike as a Bonus Action, assuming you haven't already taken a Bonus Action this turn.

Origin Story: When you gained your powers they enhanced one aspect of your being, giving you a source of power. Choose from Speedster, Hulk, or Kinetic. You gain additional features for these origins at 6, 10 and 14th level.
Powers: You gain access to certain powers, based on your Origin, as you learn to use your power in new and creative ways.

Powers: Starting at 2nd Level you gain two Powers of your choice. Your Power options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain Metahuman levels, you gain additional Powers of your choice.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Powers you know and replace it with another Powers that you could learn at that level. A level prerequisite in an Power refers to Metahuman level, not character level.

Your power comes from within so your Power modifier is Constitution. In addition, you use your Constitution modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Power you use and when Making an Attack roll with one.

Power save DC = 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Constitution modifier
Power Attack modifier = Proficiency bonus + Constitution modifier

Journey: You must choose the path you will walk. Will you be a paragon of justice, will you be a manaical overlord, or are you vengence, are you the night? Choose between The Cape, The Cowl and the The Tie.

Spoiler: The Cape

Show

Truth, Justice and the Prime Material Way. You are a protector of all those . You gain a Cape, a magical item, that flows and billows in a suitably heroic way. Whether you use this to inspire heroism, or fool saps is up to you. While wearing the Cape, When a creature you can see takes 5 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to take that damage instead. If you do this, the damage is reduced by your Proficiency modifier. At level 17 the damage is reduced by double your Proficiency Modifier.
If you are reduced below 0 hit points by this ability, you automatically make your 1st death saving throw.
You can transform one magic cape, cloak or similar item into your Cape by performing a special ritual while you hold it. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest.
You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way, unless it lets you. The item ceases being your Cape if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it.

Spoiler: The Cowl

Show

Monsters are a cowardly and superstitious lot. You terrify your opponents. You gain the Cowl, a magical item, that turns your visage into something truly intimidating. You gain Darkvision while wearing the Cowl. You may study any creature you can see for 1 minute to learn its weaknesses. After you do so you may add your Proficiency modifier on Stealth, Insight and Intimidation checks against that creature as well as Initiative rolls in any combat where you are opposing this creature. This studying is a clearly threatening and hostile action.
You can transform one magic helm, hat or similar item into your Cowl by performing a special ritual while you hold it. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest.
You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way, unless it lets you. The item ceases being your Cowl if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it.

Spoiler: The Tie

Show

Fools fight and die, while your plans continue unabated. You gain a Tie, a symbol of your authority and superiority. While wearing The Tie you may command minions to perform your bidding. You may cast an enhanced Friends cantrip at will. This cantrip has no duration limit, though only creature can be affected at a time. Creatures of higher Hit Dice than your level save at advantage. While your minion affected by Friends is within 10 feet of you, you can use them as a shield against harm. Any damage you take can be passed to the minion. This allows the affected creature another save against Friends. Note that this ability does not change the base nature of the creature. Many Tie wearers find it necessary to bribe minions into joining them into danger, though they find this bribery much simpler with the authority of The Tie.
You can transform one magic necklace, amulet or similar item into your Tie by performing a special ritual while you hold it. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest.
You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way, unless it lets you. The item ceases being your Tie if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it.

Extra Attack: Beginning at 5th Level, you can Attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on Your Turn. This does not stack with Extra Attack gained from other classes.

Costume: You finally have put together your costume! A distinctive and armoured outfit that grants flexibility, protection and can become a symbol for people to follow or fear. You gain a suit of Chainmail, that does not give disadvantage on Stealth and can grant disadvantage on one ranged attack targeted against you per round as a reaction. Metahumans are always getting shot at but it never seems to hit. You may convert any armour you already have into this Costume, and maintain its magical properties.

At 15th level you are no longer threatened by the minions of your enemies. Your Costume grants resistance to one damage type of your choice out of bludgeoning, slashing and piercing, even against magical weapons. You may change the type of resistance on a long rest.

Unite The League: You might've started as a lone wolf, but you've learned the power of friendship, or at least the use of having other bodies around to take hits for you. Starting at 9th level any ally within 10ft of you, gains a +1 to hit or to Armour Class, you may choose which. This ability is always active, and expands to +2 and 30ft at 18th level. You may change the type of bonus as an action.

Gadget: Even the least tech-based heroes have one or two gadgets to help in their work. At 11th level choose any 2 skills or tools to gain proficiency in.

At 17th level, you have upgraded your gadget to be more general purpose. Youmay choose one ability score, and any ability check or saving throw involving that ability, you may roll with advantage.

Training Room: You have developed a training regimen to work on your general tactics and abilities, which just so happens to be exactly what you need! At 13th level, whenever you finish a long rest, roll one d20 and record the number rolled. You can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see with this training rolls. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only once per turn. You lose any unused training rolls on a long rest.

Get Off My Planet!: Hero or villain, this is YOUR planet. Whenever you score a critical hit you may immediately as a free action cast a Dismissal effect on the creature hit, using either your Constitution as you casting modifier.

Superhero/villain: You have reached the greatest mastery of yourself and your powers. At 20th level you gain resistance to 2 damage types from fire, cold, lightning, thunder, acid, poison or psychic, and immunity to either Radiant or Necrotic Damage. You gain a flying speed of 50ft, or your flying speed increases by 50ft.

Spoiler: Speedster

Show

SuperSpeed: You gain Speed Bursts equal to your level in Metahuman. Your base movement rate increases by 10 ft. You can spend a Speed Burst to Dash as a bonus action, but you cannot Dash 2 rounds in a row, needing to catch your breath afterwards. In any round where you move at least 10 ft you can spend a Speed Burst as a part of your movement action to make an extra unarmed attack. You may make two extra unarmed attacks in this way at 17th level. You regain Speed Bursts equal to your Con modifier on a short rest, and all of them on a long rest.

Lightning Fast: At 6th level, your base movement rate increases by a further 10 feet. While Dashing, you can ignore the effects of difficult terrain. You can run over any solid or liquid, while Dashing, as long as you both begin and end your movement on solid ground.

SuperStrength: Your carrying capacity is quadrupled. You may enhance your physical prowess for short bursts, gaining one Surge Of Strength per level of Metahuman. When you roll a Strength check, hit roll using Strength or Strength Saving Throw you can spend a Surge of Strength to gain advantage on the roll. You may decide this after the initial roll but before you know if it is successful. You can also use a Surge of Strength on any successful attack roll to double your Strength modifier on that roll. This becomes triple at 17th level. Surge of Strength can only be activated once a round. You regain Surges of Strength equal to your Con modifier on a short rest, and all of them on a long rest.

World's Strongest Person: At 6th level, you count as one size category larger for the purposes of Grapples and Shoves in combat. You gain the ability to throw rocks as a Ranged attack. If any rock of 5lbs or more is avaliable you may treat it as a thrown ranged weapon using dealing d8 Bludgeoning damage, range 20/60. This damage increased to d10 at 10th level and d12 at 14th. The range increases to 30/120 at 10th level and 80/320 at 14th.

Strength is your Strength:At 10th Level you have mastered control of your strength. You may spend a Surge of Strength to add your Strength Bonus to any Saving Throw. When you Shove a creature in combat you may Shove them 5 feet+5 feet for every point of Strength Modifier away. You may activate a Surge of Strength to double your Strength Mod for the purpose of this calculation. Note that Surges of Strength can only be used once a round, so you may not gain advantage on the roll as well as increasing the distance. If they impact a solid object before moving the full distance, treat them as if they have fallen the remaining distance. So if you shove a creature 30 ft, and they hit a wall after 20 feet, they take damage as if they have fallen 10 ft. If you attempt to Move A Grappled Creature you may move your full speed.

Stronger Than A...:At 14th level your strength is beyond calculation. Any physical manifestation of a magical effect can be destroyed by your might. If you activate a Surge of Strength and make a Strength save against the Save DC of the effect, you may destroy up to a 5ft cube of that effect. You suffer the effects of interacting with the spell. So you can punch a 5x5 hole in a Wall of Force easily, or rip apart 5x5 of Black Tentacles, but to punch a hole in a Wall of Fire would still damage you. This only works on effects that have a physical manifestation that could be targeted by an attack.

This ability is useable once per short rest.

More Powerful Than A...: POWER! UNLIMITED POWER! At 14th level you gain immunity to your chosen damage type.

Crusader
my signature is the cross and everything that carries my signature belongs to me. Even you, infidel scum!

Crusaders are holy divine warriors who pay homage to a long-forgotten holy symbol; the cross. Some crusaders say that the cross is a universal anicent holy symbol which was common to all the good aligned deities of the past while others claim that an uber deity of the future will appear and will use this as the ultimate holy symbol that will vanish all evil. Truth or lies, it is up to you to decide.
Crusaders use the cross as their signature and whatever has their signature belogns to them and to their deity (which is usually all the lawful or all the good or all the lawful good deities of a pantheon) and to their organization (which is usually a crusading army, a church, a team of zealots or a group of inquisitors). As they level up, they unlock more abilities to do with their cross symbols, from their lowly endows to their mighty miracles.
However, despite their level, Crusaders use the same signature each time; they either carve or paint a cross somewhere in order to unlock its power and they, according to their personality traits, have a certain color and shape they give to their cross. For example, those who have a lot and strong bonds draw more fat crosses than those with few and fragile bonds. Those who have few and minor flaws prefer lighter colors or straight carved lines while those with major flaws use darker colors and curly carved lines.
In spite of their bonds and flaws, all Crusaders belonging to the same organization share the same ideals; punish the infidels and the heretics and the evil itself, even if that means they have to start a whole crusade from scratch!

level 14: signature 14/day (chainbreaker) description: You miraculously open locked manacles or break chains, no matter how big or heavy, in which you carved or drawn your signature cross on them. This ability can open any kind of locks (except if DM says otherwise). Chain Devils are (or are not according to the DM) instantly destroyed if targeted by this ability.

level 16: signature 16/day (miracle 1/month) description: Once per month, you perform a miracle to the item or the person in which you have carved or drawn your signature cross on it. The DM decides the actual effect of this ability and how successful was it. Example effects are like the following: Duplicate any spell of 7th level or lower. Undo the harmful effects of certain spells. Protecting a city from an earthquake, volcanic eruption, flood, or other major natural disaster. Swinging the tide of a battle in your favor by raising fallen allies to continue fighting. Moving you and your allies, with all your and their gear, from one plane to another through planar barriers to a specific locale with no chance of error.

Swinging the tide of a battle in your favor by raising fallen allies to continue fighting.

Have any effect whose power level is in line with the above effects.
level 20: signature 20/day (animate 4 attacks) description: like animate, but your animated weapon attacks 4 times with your bonus action.

note: Signature always takes an action in order to be done and usually is performed with a holy knife that can carve even metal or a blessed drawing brush that always has paint on it via supernatural means. Also, the player has to tell what kind of signature (e.g. endow or banisher or whatever) is going to perform in advance. Only one type of signature is performed each time, so you either perform "endow" with your action or "animate" or "bash" but not altogether. If the target of the signature is a non-willing creature, a melee basic attack must be used (treat the holy knife or the blessed drawing brush like a dagger that you have proficiency with in that case). If you fail the attack, that signature attempt is wasted for the day. A being adjacent to a cross signature can scratch it in order to ruin it by spending an action, in which case its effects end...

Class Features
As a Chef, you gain the following features:

Hit Points
Hit Dice: 1d8 per Chef level
Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per Chef level after 1st.

Proficiencies
Armor: Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shields
Weapons: Simple weapons, longswords, scimitars, shortswords, and warhammers
Tools: Cook's utensils and one other type of artisan's tools
Saving Throws: Constitution and Intelligence
Skills: Choose two from Athletics, Deception, Investigation, Insight, Intimidation, Medicine, and Persuasion

Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) a martial weapon and a shield or (b) two martial weapons
• (a) five light hammers or (b) any simple melee weapon
• an explorer's pack and cook's utensils
• (a) scale mail or (b) leather armor

Chef's Special
You have begun work on your signature dish. As a bonus action, you can produce a single serving of a food item from available materials. You must have chef's utensils on hand in order to use this feature. A creature can consume your chef's special as a bonus action, granting them 1d6 healing and an equal amount of temporary hit points. Only a single serving of Chef's Special can exist at one time. If you create a new one before the old one was consumed, the old one is destroyed.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest, which also destroys any Chef's Special which still exists from before the rest.

The die associated with your Chef's Special increases when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.

Secret Ingredient
The true secret to good cooking is the secret ingredient. At 1st level you know how to add one secret ingredient to your Chef's Special, chosen from the list of Secret Ingredients at the end of this class. Secret Ingredients typically modify your Chef's Special's effects in some way.

When you gain certain chef levels, you can add additional ingredients to your Special, as shown in the Secret Ingredients column of the Chef table.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can exchange one of your Secret Ingredients for another Secret Ingredient for which you meet the requirements.

Spellcasting
By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on primal magic through natural ingredients to cast magic.

Preparing and Casting Spells
The Chef table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. To cast one of your chef spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of chef spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the chef spell list. When you do so, choose a number of chef spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your chef level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level chef, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of chef spells requires time spent experimenting with cooking: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your chef spells, since their power derives from the strength of your convictions. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a chef spell you cast when making an attack roll with one.

Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spellcasting Focus
