Black Flame Berserker

Some inherit wealth. Others inherit kingdoms.

You inherited a curse.

 

The Blackflame is not mere fire—it is a force born of suffering, rage, and something far older than mortal blood. Once wielded with purpose by your predecessor, it now burns within you… untamed, volatile, and hungry.

 

Where your forebear controlled the flame, you embody it.

 

In battle, your emotions ignite this cursed power, warping your body into something increasingly inhuman. Scales creep across your skin, your strength swells beyond mortal limits, and your presence alone begins to suffocate the weak. The longer the flame burns, the more it reshapes you—until what remains is no longer man, but something forged in wrath and survival.

 

Whether you seek vengeance, answers, or simply the strength to endure, one truth remains:

 

The Blackflame does not grant power.

It reveals what was already inside you.

 

And if you are not strong enough to carry it…

it will consume you whole.

3rd-level Black Flame feature

You gain advantage on initiative rolls.

In addition, you can sense creatures within 30 feet of you that are below half their hit point maximum. You know their location, even if they are hidden or invisible, provided they are not behind total cover.

 

Black Flame Curse

Black Flame Curse

3rd-level Black Flame feature

Immolating Hatred

The hatred within you manifests as overwhelming physical force and presence.

You have advantage on Strength ([ability]Strength[/ability]) checks and Charisma (Intimidation) checks.

In addition, when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction to redirect the attack. Choose another creature within 30 feet of you, other than the attacker. The chosen creature becomes the target of the attack, using the same roll.

Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Executioner’s Brand

You channel your hatred into a weapon or object you are holding.

While you are wearing or carrying an object imbued with this energy, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses your proficiency with a tool.

In addition, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can invoke this energy to surround the target in black, mist-like flame. The target takes an extra <strong>2d6</strong> fire damage and must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC: {{savedc:con}}) or be restrained until the end of your next turn.

While affected by the flame, the target takes <strong>2d6</strong> fire damage at the start of each of its turns. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Tyrant’s Gaze

As a bonus action, a sharp red light emanates from your eyes, instilling overwhelming fear.

Each creature of your choice within 10 feet must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC: {{savedc:con}}). On a failure, a creature is frightened of you for 1 minute.

A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Ash Step

You burn out of reality in a violent burst of Black Flame.

When you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to teleport up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.

The attacker has disadvantage on any additional attacks against you this turn.

In addition, you leave behind a trail of black flame that lasts until the end of your next turn. A creature takes 1d6 fire damage when it enters the area for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.

Black Flame Armor (7th Level or Higher)

A shadow of the Black Flame protects you.

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or restrained, and you have resistance to poison damage.
