Miko- Shrine Maiden

You have a sensitivity to kami, the spirits of nature.  Your connection with the kami allows you to learn information that most are not able to discern.  The kami have also shown you the beauty and order of nature and the things that corrupt it.  You have been shown how to fight against those things that taint nature with charms and spells.  You received your training at a shrine; most miko remain at their shrine and serve the kami there for their entire lives, but some journey out into the world to fight the corruption wherever it occurs.

Ofuda charms

Ofuda can be slapped onto a creature (5’ range, melee) or tossed onto a creature (10’ range, ranged) as an attack action.  On a successful hit, it causes 1d6 + 6 psychic damage to undead, fiends, aberrations, or monstrosities.  

Also, creatures of those categories of a challenge rating of 1 or less must make a Charisma save with a DC equal to your spell DC save.  If the save is failed, the creature is paralyzed.  The save may be made at the end of each of an affected creature’s turns.  The challenge rating is increased at certain levels:  

6: CR 3  

14: CR 5  

 17: CR 7

Each charm requires ink, a brush, and a half sheet of parchment (which is used up) and a five minute ritual.   The ofuda is considered magical for 24 hours after creation, after which time the symbols fade and it becomes ordinary paper.
