Reiryoku[edit]

Reiryoku (霊力, Spiritual Power) is a power aligned with the spiritual sensitivity and willpower of the user. It is used by Shinigami, Espada and other spiritual beings to provide power for their various abilities.


Reiryoku Points[edit]

Beginning at 1st level, you have a number of Reiryoku points equal to your Espada level x 2, as shown in the Reiryoku Points column of the Espada class table.

You regain all expended Reiryoku points when you finish a long rest.

If your Reiryoku points reach a count of 0, you have Disadvantage on all saving throws, excluding death saving throws, until you regain at least one Reiryoku point.

Some of your Reiryoku features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects, or you to make a spell attack. Constitution is your ability modifier for these features. The saving throw DC and spell attack bonus are calculated as follows:

Reiryoku save DC= 10 + your proficiency bonus + Constitution modifier.

Reiryoku attack modifier= your proficiency bonus + Constitution modifier

Reiatsu

Reiatsu is the physical force/pressure that a person’s Spiritual Energy creates when released. The difference between spiritual energy and spiritual pressure is simple: Reiryoku is the amount of energy a being has stored within their body or soul, whereas Reiatsu is the pressure that a person's Reiryoku exerts. In other words, Reiryoku is potential while Reiatsu is energy in use and can be sensed by other spiritually aware beings.

Reiatsu Release

All Reiatsu released by individuals eventually returns to them, but Reiatsu released in explosive bursts also engulfs energy in its surroundings in the process, forming devastating waves of pressure lethal to any who would be affected by it.

At 1st level as an action, you can spend 1 Reiryoku points to release your Reiatsu aura in a devastating wave surrounding you. Creatures in area of 5 x Level of Reiryoku Points spent. must attempt a Constitution saving throw, taking 1d6 force damage, plus proficiency, on a failure or half as much on a successful one.

You can spend additional Reiryoku points to increase the damage of this attack. For every 1 additional Reiryoku points you spend, the damage increases by 1d6.

Additionally, you can spend 1 Reiryoku points to imbue your Zanpakutō with your Reiatsu aura as a bonus action for 1 minute. While empowered, your Zanpakutō deals damage based off your Espada Level

  • Level 1 - 1D4
  • Level 5 - 1D6
  • Level 11 - 1D8
  • Level 17 - 1D10
  • Level 20 - 1D12

You must maintain concentration on your Zanpakutō in order to maintain your aura on it as if you were concentrating on a spell.

Hollowfication[edit]

Also at 1st level, you have effectively died and been brought back to life, becoming a Hollow, a spiritual creature that is driven by instinct and desire. Your time as a Hollow could have been short or lengthy, depending on your journey into becoming an Espada, but it has eventually led you into having your Hollow Mask mostly stripped from you, forcing you to assume a more humanoid and more powerful form.

Though your type doesn’t change, you no longer need to sleep, breath or eat. You can, however, benefit from devouring souls.

As a bonus action upon dealing the killing blow to a creature, or as an action otherwise, you can consume a creatures soul as long as it is within 5ft and is either dead or on 0 hit points. Upon doing so, the following events happen: You gain 1d6 stackable temp Hp. This HP goes away at the end of a long rest. Only able to do this as many times as your constitution modifier + proficiency. Regaining after a short or long rest

A creature that has had its soul devoured can only be resurrected by the True Resurrection or the Wish spells.

Arrancar Tools[edit]

Starting at 1st level, you will receive certain tools to help you on your journey as an arrancar.

Arrancar Robes

You have arrancar clothes made of your own Reiryouku, they generally look like a kimono. Your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier, at 8th level it increases to 12 AC + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier, and in the 12th level you increase to 16 AC + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.

Zanpakuto

Your Zanpakutō is similar to that of a Soul Reaper’s in the sense that it contains your soul's power. Due to this if it were ever destroyed, it will become completely repaired after a long rest. Although the specific appearance is dependant on the wielder as it is an imprint of their spiritual pressure, they primarily take the form of a katana, wakazashi, nodachi, or tanto. It is a one-handed martial finesse weapon which deals slashing damage that mirrors your soul's powers

  • level 1 - 1d10
  • level 4 - 2d8
  • level 9 - 2d10
  • level 12 - 3d8
  • level 16 - 3d10
  • level 19 - 4d8
  • level 20 - 4d10

Arrancar Type[edit]

Starting at 1st level, arrancars come in many shape and forms, and have very different personalities and ways of fighting. You can choose one of the Arrancar Types provided at the end of the class description, giving you features at 3rd, 6th, 9th, 13th and 17th level.

Lighter than a Feather[edit]

At 2nd level, you are lighter than a feather. You can move your normal walking speed through the air as if you were flying. However, if something were to paralyze you, or cause your movement speed to fall to zero, you will begin to fall, this includes going unconscious. You must have at least one reiryoku point to use this feature.

Hierro[edit]

Starting at 2nd level, your skin is covered in small reiatsu particles to make your endurance stronger. Whenever you take damage while not wearing armor or only wearing your Arrancar Robes, you will reduce the damage equal to your proficiency bonus. This effect is lost if you run out of Reiryouku points, and can be overcomed by magical damage.

At 10th level, your Hierro grows stronger and now can block even magical damage.

Bala[edit]

Also starting at 2nd level, you learn how to concentrate your Reiatsu into small, condensed projectiles that pack deadly force behind them.

By spending 2 Reiryoku points as an action, you can manifest three projectile bullets composed of red Reiatsu from the palm of your hand and hurl them at up to three creatures you can see within 60 feet at.

Make a ranged weapon attack for each bullet. On a hit, the bullets deal 1d6 + your Dexterity modifier force damage.

Your Bala's damage die increases by one die category when you reach 5th level (1d8), 11th level (1d10), and 17th level (1d12).

Cero[edit]

Starting at 3rd level, you learn how to fire powerful blasts of concentrated spiritual energy from your mouth, hands, or any other parts of your body.

You can spend 4 Reiryoku points as an action to shoot a blast of colored Reiatsu, forming a line 150 feet long and 5 feet wide, in a direction you choose.

Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d8 + your Constitution modifier + your Espada level radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

  • At 4th level, the line's range increase to 300 feet.
  • At 8th level, your damage increases to 4d8.
  • At 13th level, your damage increases to 5d8 and also add your proficiency bonus.
  • At 16th level, a creature that fails the saving throw against this attack by 4 or more takes an additional 5d8 radiant damage.

Regeneration[edit]

At 3rd level due to your body being made entirely of reiatsu, as a reaction or bonus action you can spend 1 Reiyoku Point to regen 1d6 Hit Points. This number increases to 2d6 at 6th level, to 3d6 at 10th level, 3d10 at 15th level and 3d12 at 17th level. You may spend 1 Reiryoku point to add one extra dice to the Hit Points, or regain a lost limb or member.

Ability Score Increase[edit]

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 4, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 2.

Extra Attack[edit]

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 15th level, and to four when you reach 20th level.

Sonído[edit]

Also at 6th level, you learn how to move between places at incredible speeds, impossible to track with the naked eye. As a bonus action you can spend 1 Reiryoku point to teleport somewhere within your movement speed range to that you can see.

The Sonído technique makes it easy for the user to travel long distances unnoticed. You have advantage on Dexterity(Stealth) checks made on the same turn this feature is used.

At 13th level, your Sonído range is increased to your movement speed times eight.

Caja Negación[edit]

At 7th level, you have received a Caja Negación. This tiny Purple Cube has the ability to seal creatures inside another dimension for 4 + Your Constitution score in hours. To seal someone, you must be at least 90ft from them, and force them to make a Intelligence Saving Throw against your Reiryouku Dc. On a success they resist the seal and are immune from this for 6 hours, on a failure they are sealed and can't get away from the other dimension without some kind of teleportation or the wish spell. In addition the creature you can seal with this feature is limited to creatures with an equal or lower value CR in comparison to your character level

This item can be crafted for 5 Reiryoku points, and may be crafted as much as your proficiency bonus + constitution modifier bonus per day.

Resurrección[edit]

Espada usually seal the nuclei of their abilities within the form of a sword, which is entirely different from what the Shinigami use. When they release their weapons' seals, they unleash their true power and their Hollow true form.

Starting at 10th level, you learn how to unseal your true Hollow form and transform in battle. You can spend 6 Reiryoku points as an action to draw your Zanpakutō from its scabbard and speak an unique command word, followed by the Zanpakutō's name, releasing the energy sealed within.

Your appearance changes to match more of your former Hollow appearance. You may choose how you appear after your Resurrección, though you must still appear humanoid if you choose so.

While your Resurrección is active, you gain a +6 bonus to your Strength and Dexterity scores and your movement speed is doubled. Any ability score increases from your Resurrección can put your scores above 20. In addition, your Zanpakutō either melds into your body or takes a new form to match your Hollow appearance. If you choose to merge with your Zanpakutō, then your unarmed strikes gain the same properties that of your Zanpakutō, and it will also gain a +5 in the attack rolls. It also gains a unique property that varies from user to user. Work with your DM to create something unique that matches your character. This bonus can vary from a constant spell effect, a damage buff, a special attack, or anything of the like.

As a rule of thumb, the effect should not be stronger than a 4th level spell, or should follow the Spell Damage Design Guidelines in terms of damage.

You must spend 2 Reiryoku at the end of each of your turns to maintain this form.

Descorrer[edit]

At 11th level, you gain the ability to open gates to other places by ripping a dimensional hole between where you are and where you want to go.

You can teleport yourself from your current location to any other spot within range as an action for 4 Reiryoku points. The range at which you can teleport is up to 3000 feet, and you arrive exactly at the sport desired. This space can be a space you can see, one you can visualize, or one you can describe by stating distance and direction, such as "200 feet straight downward" or "upward to the northwest at a 45-degree angle, 300 feet".

You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn't exceed what you can carry. You can also bring up to two willing creatures that are medium or smaller.

If you would arrive in a place already occupied by an object or a creature, you and any creatures or objects travelling with you are shunted to the closest unoccupied space.

At 16th level, the range at which you can teleport increases to 9000 feet.

Resurrección Mastery[edit]

Starting at 14th level, you have mastered your Resurrección form and improved on its hardiness in battle.

When you activate your Resurrección, you gain temporary Hit Points equal to twice your Espada level, and your movement speed is tripled while in ressurection. Also while in your ressurection your zanpakuto's damage die is increased by three sizes (ex: 2d10 -> 3d8), even if it merged with you. You will always have this benefit when activating Resurrección .

Gran Rey Cero[edit]

At 18th level, you learn a variation of the Cero, the Gran Rey Cero. By mixing your own blood with a Cero, you can fire a Cero with much greater attack power and speed, in addition to having a change of color unique to them. It is many times more powerful than a normal Cero, disturbing the fabric of space as it travels. Upon release, it spins like a razor as it compresses and decompresses due to the sheer speed and raw power.

As an action, you spend 30 Reiryoku points to blast a gigantic concentration of Reiatsu in a direction of your choice. Each creature in a 600-foot cone originating from you must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 15d10 + your Constitution modifier force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this damage or any objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried are instantly disintegrated. A disintegrated creature and everything it is wearing and carrying, except magic items, are reduced to a pile of fine gray dust.

Resurrección: Segunda Etapa[edit]

At 20th level, your Resurrection surpasses its own limits, earning you a more powerful and further advanced form of your traditional Resurrección.

As a bonus action while in Resurrección for 3 additional Reiryoku, you gain an additional +6 to your Strength and Dexterity score (+12 total). In addition, you gain one additional ability or improve your Resurrección's initial ability. Work with your DM to create a unique ability. Your zanpakutou will change it's bonus to a +10 in attack rolls. You must spend 3 Reiryoku at the end of each of your turns to maintain this form.

The rule of thumb is the same as your Resurrección's initial ability, but you it must not be stronger than a 6th level spell, rather than a 4th level spell.

Some examples of abilities are: becoming a size larger, per the Enlarge/Reduce spell, gaining an additional attack or a special attack, gaining a Cero unique to your character, and so on.

Twin Soul[edit]

I always envied the weak. Whenever we made friends, their souls would waste away just from being near us. Because we were so alone, we split our soul in two. I don't know which was our original form. Or perhaps, it was neither. But this was the only way we had to escape from our isolation. I so envied the weak. The weak can always find others to be around. I want to be weak. And if that's impossible, I at least want to find companions who are as strong as I.

Never Alone

Starting at 1st level, when you were a hollow your spiritual pressure was so immense that your soul had to be split in two, creating a new version of yourself. This new version acts as a companion Npc, and has the following benefits:

  • It has the same scores as you, but your biggest and smallest score will be decreased and increased respectively by 6.
  • It has the same proficiencies and proficiency bonus as you.
  • It has the same features as you, but cannot use the Ressureción feature.
  • It's Hit Dice is a d12, and it will gain another d12 for each time you level up in the Espada class.
  • When it is reduced to 0 hit points, instead of dying it will start to roll death saving throws.

If your other half dies, you will develop a immemse depression that only time can heal. You will gain one level of exhaustion for 3d4 days. After the time has passed and you lost the level of exhaustion, at the end of an long rest you may split your soul again to create a new half by spending half of your Hit Points and half of your reiryoku as a bonus action.

At 10th level, when you activate your Ressureción you need to be at least 5ft from your other self, making your souls will become one again. While in the ressurecion state your Strength and Dexterity score increase by 8 instead of 6(It increases to 16 when in Segunda Etapa). You will also regain all the reiryoku that your other half had at that moment, also increasing your reiryoku maximum by their own maximum.

Overflowing Reiryoku

At 3rd level, your Reiryoku is far greater than even vasto lorde arrancar. Both you and your other half will add your proficiency bonus + constitution modifier to your maximum reiryouku.

In addition, your Reiatsu Release feature will get it's damage die increased by 2, and you are now able to use your Cero as a bonus action.

Distant Communication

Starting at 6th level, no matter how, no matter when, no matter where, your other half will hear you. You can speak through telepaty to your other half.

Whenever your other half is going to be affected by a attack, you can spend 2 reiryoku as an reaction to make them turn the attack rolled into a miss or gain advantage in the saving throw. You may use this feature as much as your double of proficiency bonus until needing to make long rest.

Inner Connection

Starting at 9th level, you have a deep and strong bound to your other half, making you feel what the other feels. While you and your other half are within at least 600 ft. of eachother, you will become immune to the frightened and Charmed conditions.

In addition, any positive effects one may receive will affect the other. (Example: Temporary hit points that would go to you will also go to the other half.)

Suffocating Spiritual Pressure

Starting at 13th level, being together again makes you stronger, but it also makes everyone fade away around you. Whenever you're in your ressurection state, you'll always be exalating immense spiritual pressure, making everyone in 7 x your Espada level ft. around you make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure they are knocked prone and will take force damage equal to your level, on a sucess they will not take damage or be knocked prone.

In addition, a creature with a higher level or CR than you can make the saving throw with advantage.

Together Forever

At 17th level, you are one with your other half, and your other half is one with you. When you die, and your other half is still alive, you will be ressurected when they take their next short rest. The same also applies if your other half dies and you take a long rest.

Your mask must be reforged as well, which can only be done by a blacksmith of the highest order who can also commune with spirits.
