Base Class: Fighter
Occult Slayer are those that excel in combat against spellcasters.
All of them are driven by a deep rooted hate of magic.
Requirement: Feat Mage Slayer
The subclass is only available for characters that either:
- originate/are stuck in Ravenloft
- Reborn
Proficiency
As it is necessary to know about what you have to face, Occult Slayers gain proficiency in Arcana
Magical defense
An occult slayer’s constant training in countering magic of all types manifests itself as a bonus on saving throws against spells or spell-like abilities.
Weapon Bond
An occult slayer must choose a particular weapon as the focus of her power. Upon making her selection, she immediately forms a bond with the chosen weapon that imbues it with the force of her hatred for spellcasters. Thereafter, any successful attack she makes with that weapon against a spellcaster or a creature with spell-like abilities deals an extra 1d6 points of damage. If this particular weapon is lost or destroyed, the occult slayer loses the ability to deal the extra damage until she acquires and bonds with another weapon of the same kind. The occult slayer must spend one day per character level practicing with the replacement weapon (and doing very little else - no adventuring) to create a new weapon bond.
Mind over Magic
An occult slayer can cause a spell or spell-like ability targeted against her to rebound onto the originator as a reaction. This ability is only applicable for spells directly cast at the Occult Slay (no touch or area effects). Roll an Arcana check to see if you can identify the cast spell. Upon success the spell is returned to the caster.
An occult slayer can use this ability once per Long Rest.
Auravision
An occult slayer gains the ability to see magical auras at a range of up to 60 feet as a free action. This ability otherwise functions as the detect magic spell. The character cannot use this ability to determine anything but the number of magical auras present.
Nondetection Cloak
An occult slayer (and any gear she wears or carries) becomes more difficult to locate through divinations such as clairaudience/clairvoyance, locate object, and other detection spells. The occult slayer gains magical protection from divinations equivalent to a nondetection spell
Blank Thoughts
An occult slayer can induce within herself a state of mental absence, thereby becoming immune to mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, patterns, phantasms, and morale effects). She can suppress or resume this ability as a free action.
