Unholy Weapon. As an action, you can imbue one weapon you are holding with dark energy, using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, you add your Charisma modifier to attack rolls made with that weapon (with a minimum bonus of +1). The weapon is wreathed in dark energy and appears as if it absorbs the light around it. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.

Turn the Unholy. As an action, you present your unholy symbol and speak a prayer censuring fiends and undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions.

Bound Weapon

At 3rd level, you learn a ritual that creates a magical, living bond between yourself and one weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and forge the bond. Once you have bonded a weapon to yourself, you can't be disarmed of that weapon unless you are incapacitated. If it is on the same plane of existence as you, you can summon that weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to instantly materialize in your hand, unless it is held by a greater power. In addition, you may also absorb its physical form within your very being, which may act as an effective storage place. You can have up to two bonded weapons, but can summon only one at a time with your bonus action. If you attempt to bond with a third weapon, you must break the bond with one of the other two. You gain a +1 bonus to all attack and damage rolls with your bound weapon.

Profanities

At level 3, when you choose to take on the mantle of Death Knight, you learn a number of profanities equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier (minimum 1), chosen from the list below. When you activate a profanity, a dark colored aura surrounds you imbuing you with the specific profanities bonus. You can use a bonus action to activate or deactivate one profanity. Falling unconscious will deactivate all profanities active. Activating a profanity while you have one already active will automatically deactivate the previous one. At level three you can only benefit from one profanity at a time, two at level 5, three at level 12, and four at level 18, and the profanity effect will stay active until it is deactivated, or on the subsequent failed saving throw. At the end of each of your turns in combat, while you have more than one profanity active, you must pass a DC 15 Constitution Save, or one random profanity will deactivate.

Terrorize

If a creature moves to within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction and the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you for 1 minute. The DC is equal to 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus. Whether successful or not, a creature cannot be targeted by this ability again until you finish a long rest.

Siphoning Strikes

At 7th level, you learn to control the balance of life and death within yourself. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier. Your current value is also affected by this. These bonus hit points expire at the end of the battle, and you return to the hit point amount, scaled at a 1 to 1 ratio, of what you had by the end of the battle. For example, if your original max HP was 20, and you gained 10 hit points, but was reduced to 15 (15 out of 30 HP total), then you would result with 10 out of 20 hit point.

Shadow Meld

At 7th level, as an action you may teleport to a point you can see within 60 feet if you and that point are both in darkness. You may also take one other creature with you. If the creature is not willing, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to evade you. DC being 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. Additionally, you gain resistance to necrotic damage while you have a profanity active.

Death's Embrace

At 15th level you have come to know that even to the strongest, Death is inevitable. If damage reduces you to 0 hit points and doesn't kill you out right, you may make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to the damage done. On a success, you drop to 1 hit point instead. You may use this ability once per long rest.
