Follower of the Raven-Queen

The Follower of the Raven Queen is a rogue who has dedicated their life to the mysterious deity known as the Raven Queen. This enigmatic goddess holds dominion over the delicate balance between life and death, fate and destiny. Those who follow her path become skilled agents who straddle the boundary of the mortal realm and the shadowy realm of the afterlife.

These rogues possess a unique set of abilities that allow them to navigate the tenuous space between life and death. Their signature feature, "On Death's Door," grants them the uncanny ability to defy death itself, enabling them to survive when others would perish. Whether by a twist of fate or their connection to the Raven Queen's realm, they can push their physical limits, evade mortal threats, and even draw strength from the brink of annihilation.

As they progress in their journey, Followers of the Raven Queen gain powers that reflect their affinity for the necrotic, allowing them to resist such energies and harness them for their own purposes. Their "Death's Resilience" feature bolsters their survivability with resistance to necrotic damage and the ability to bolster their own life force.

In the heat of combat, these rogues are masters of stealth and subterfuge, striking from the shadows and manipulating the moments just before death claims their foes. They are elusive and deadly reapers who use their deep understanding of the final moments of life to their advantage. Their connection to the Raven Queen allows them to glean knowledge from the souls of the departed, making them invaluable for uncovering secrets hidden beyond the veil of mortality.

Ultimately, the Follower of the Raven Queen is a rogue whose path is shrouded in mystery and darkness, embodying the inexorable force of death while harnessing its power to become an agile, elusive, and relentless agent of fate.

At 3rd level As a Follower of the Raven Queen, you have a deep connection to the realm between life and death. When you drop to 0 hit points but are not killed outright, you can choose to drop to 1 hit point instead. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Profeciency modifier halfed rounded up (minimum of 1). You regain all expended uses of this feature after completing a long rest.

Shadowed Step

At 9th level You gain the ability to move through the shadows with ease. As a bonus action, you can magically teleport from one shadow to another within 60 feet that you can see, using it as a starting point and ending point. This shadowy teleportation doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Death's Embrace

At 17th level You become one with the shadowy realm of death. You gain the following benefits.

• You are immune to the frightened condition.
• Once per long rest, when you hit a creature with a sneak attack, you can choose to deal an additional 4d6 necrotic damage, sapping the life force of your target. This damage increases to 6d6 if the target is a humanoid. If this damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, its soul is trapped by the Raven Queen. You can choose to release the soul or gain knowledge from it by spending 1 minute in meditation, during which you can ask the soul up to three questions, and it must answer truthfully. After using this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
