Soul Reaper

As a soul reaper, your primary goal is to preserve the natural balance of death. It takes careful practice and patience to be a soul reaper. 

Scythe Stats:

For dnd purposes, a scythe counts as a finesse halberd (1d10 slashing + dex or strength) You can also dual-wield hand-scythes (sickles) as a finesse sickle with a d6 instead (d6 slashing + dex or strength

Wielder of the Scythe

When wielding a sickle or halberd, you gain a +2 to attack rolls and cannot be disarmed unless you are incapacitated. (You will need to manually add the modifier to the weapon.)

Soul Attunement

At 3rd level, you manifest and attune to a certain type of Soul. Choose one of the following:

Death

The first time you hit with a weapon attack on your turn, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier.

Any target that you hit with a weapon suffers a -2 penalty to its AC until the end of your next turn. This effect does not stack.

Primal

You gain the ability to assume a bestial form using a bonus action once per short or long rest. You can only turn into one kind of beast, determined by you or your DM.
When you initially assume a bestial form, you gain temp hp equal to 1d10+your fighter level. Losing this temp hp does not revert you back. Your racial traits remain the same and do not change to the beast you change form into.
You can stay in a bestial form for a number of hours equal to half your fighter level (rounded down). You then revert to your normal form. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.
While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• While in a bestial form, you may mind speak to any creature within 60 feet of you.
• You can use your claws, talons, or bite to make unarmed strikes that you are considered proficient in. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d8 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier magical slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
• You may use all basic fighter abilities in bestial form, such as Second Wind, Additional Attacks, Action Surge, Soul Fragments, etc. You cannot use Caretaker of the Beyond's spellcasting nor use Soul Prison's soul detonation while in bestial form.
• You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, and all statistics.
• You can’t cast spells, and your to take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast. You cannot use weapons or use items.
• You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it, as you retain the same AC. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment changes size or shape to match the new form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

At 15th level, you have realized that some souls are too dangerous to be allowed to pass on. You have created a demiplane within yourself that you can send souls to. You can hold a number of souls equal to your level in this prison, and if your prison is full and you try to imprison a new soul, you have to let another soul pass on. To claim a soul, you must target a creature that has been reduced to 0 hit points, and if they died within the last round, their soul is absorbed into you, if able (Ex. A Warlock without a soul would be immune, as well as constructs or any creature that does not have one, Dm's discretion). After a soul is absorbed, they can't be revived by any magic short of wish, unless you release the soul. This imprisonment can interrupt a Naga's regeneration and can stop a liches revival and other effects similar. If you fall unconscious, the souls will try to escape. You must make a Charisma save against a DC equal to 5+ the number of prisoners. If you fail, 1d4+1 souls escape, determined randomly. These souls do not escape when you sleep.

You can expend 1-5 souls to create a soul explosion. When you do so, choose 1-5 souls, and for each soul used, the radius for this attack increases by 10ft and the damage increases by 1d8. The attack has a base attack range of 60ft, it has a 10ft radius and 2d8 damage. The damage type is determined by your Soul Attunement and bypasses Resistance but not Immunity. You have to expend at least one soul to use this attack. The souls you use on this then are released to whatever plane they might drift to. You choose which targets you wish to affect with this attack, and the targets must make Con saves against the DC, 8+Your Proficiency+Your Con Mod, or take half damage. You can use this feature three times, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.
