You have delved into the depths of rift knowledge, granting you the ability to manipulate rift energies and sow chaos among your enemies while uncovering forbidden secrets.
Prerequisite
Alignment with a faction or personal agenda tied to rift exploration.
Features
1. Rift Shroud (1/Long Rest)
Action: Bonus Action
You wrap yourself in rift energy, becoming cloaked in an aura of shadowy distortion. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it. While active:
- Roll: Enemies within 10 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier) at the start of their turn. On a failed save, they suffer disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the start of their next turn.
- Gain +2 to AC as the distortion obscures your movements.
2. Deceptive Resonance (Passive)
Your intimate understanding of rift phenomena allows you to manipulate reality subtly.
- Gain proficiency in Deception and Arcana. If already proficient, double your proficiency bonus for these skills.
- Roll: When attempting to deceive or interrogate, roll with advantage if you can invoke rift-based phenomena as part of your narrative.
3. Sinister Hex (2/Short Rest)
Action: Special Action
You unleash a focused burst of dark rift energy upon a single creature within 60 feet. Choose one of the following effects:
- Rift Suppression: The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier) or lose their reaction and have disadvantage on their next saving throw.
- Reality Distortion: Force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw (same DC). On a failure, they are frightened of you until the end of their next turn.
4. Rift Scrying (1/Day)
You can meditate on a rift shard or similar artifact to gain insight into a person, place, or event tied to the rifts.
- Roll: Make an Arcana check (DC 15). On a success, you glean one piece of cryptic but accurate information related to your target.
Roleplay Opportunities
Rift Inquisitors are enigmatic manipulators, walking the line between saviors and harbingers of destruction. Use these abilities to infiltrate, intimidate, or redirect the flow of power, always with a veil of mystery and the taint of the rifts.
