Ashen Pact of the Crimson Veil

When you joined the Ashen Pact, you were given a purpose in its bloody hierarchy. Roll on the table below, or choose one that best fits your character

Rank 1 – Silent Ash (Initiate)

• Veil’s Whisper. Gain proficiency in Deception or Stealth (your choice). If already proficient, you gain expertise.

• Ashen Mark. Leaving the Crimson Ash sigil grants you and your allies advantage on Intimidation checks for 24 hours in the same city.

Rank 2 – Ashen Blade (Enforcer)

• Crimson Strike. Once per long rest, deal an extra 2d6 necrotic damage on a weapon attack.

• Tools of the Trade. You have advantage on checks to craft or apply poisons.

Rank 3 – Veilborn (Elite)

• Veil of Ash. Once per long rest, cloak yourself in drifting ash for 1 minute, gaining advantage on Stealth checks, and creatures have disadvantage on Perception checks to see you.

• Mark of Fear. When you leave the Crimson Ash sigil, commoners and low-ranking NPCs who see it are frightened for 24 hours.

Rank 4 – Ashen Circle (Council)

• Ashen Influence. You control a criminal network. You can smuggle goods, gather information, or set up safehouses in any city where the Pact is present.

• Oathbound. You can bind one subordinate with an Ashen Oath, allowing you to sense their direction/distance. If they betray you, they take 2d10 psychic damage at dawn until released or dead.

Rank 5 – Veiled Lord/Lady (Leader)

• Crimson Dominion. Once per long rest, you may command the Pact to: assassinate a low-level NPC, spread rumors across a city within 24 hours, or provide you and four allies safe shelter, disguises, and supplies for 1 week.

• Ashen Apotheosis. You gain resistance to necrotic damage. When you reduce a creature to 0 HP, you wreathe yourself in crimson ash until the end of your next turn, gaining advantage on your next attack.
