College of the Advocate

A college for those who truly wish to be a Devils Advocate. They draw power from the dealing of souls.

Bartering in Souls

When you join the College of the Advocate at 3rd level, you gain the harvest and collect souls in a special pouch, this pouch varies depending on the entity you have agreed to advocate for.

This pouch can carry a number of souls equal to your charisma modifier and souls come in 3 different tiers:

• Harvested - a soul collected from a dead or dying enemy
• Coerced - A soul signed away under Duress or against the owners will (I.E. through Suggestion or Dominate Person)
• Willing - A soul willingly given to the advocate

The now soulless creatures function and behave as normal, but their alignment changes to true neutral and they can no longer be targeted by the Dream or Astral Projection spells.  These souls may then be exchanged for a Devils Boon, and each type of soul will grant a different scale of the boon.

You may choose 2 Devil's Boons and may choose an additional at levels 6, 8 and 14.

Boon of Knowledge

As an action you exchange a soul to temporarily grant you additional proficiency.

• Harvested - Gain Proficiency in a skill you do not already have proficiency in
• Coerced - Gain Proficiency in a skill or saving throw you do not already have proficiency in
• Willing - Gain expertise in any skill or saving throw.

These effects last until your next long rest. You cannot augment more than one skill in this way, using this ability a second time removes the original uses effects.

you may use this feat a number of times equal to you charisma modifier. You regain all uses after a long rest.

Double Dealing

At 6th level, gain the ability to trade souls with another entity, specifically Death. In times of Peril you may exchange souls with Death to ensure your own survival.

When you are reduced to zero hit-points you may choose to release souls from your pouch, in exchange Death will grant you ease in passing or perhaps even decide to overlook you for now.

Harvested - Each soul of this type released counts as 1 death saving throw passed

Coerced - Each soul of this type counts as 2 death saving throws passed

Willing - Each soul of this type counts as a Critical Success on a death saving throw and you are revived with Hitpoints Equal to your Charisma score.

Once you have used this feature you may not use it again until you complete a long rest.

Devilish Inspiration

At 14th level, you lay claim to a still living soul. As an action, Expend a use of your bardic inspiration and claim a target you can see within 60ft of you. That target must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell DC. On a fail the creature must roll your bardic inspiration die on each attack, ability check and saving throw it makes and reduce its total by the amount rolled, for the next minute.

If the Creature Dies before this effect ends, its soul is collected and considered Willing.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
