Class Features

Emotional Bond

• 1st-level Bound Fool feature*

You form an emotional bond with a person (the "Bonded"). While within 30 feet of your Bonded, you gain advantage on saving throws against being frightened, charmed, or paralyzed. Additionally, your attacks deal 1d6 bonus damage when they target creatures within 30 feet of your Bonded.

Fool's Might

• 1st-level Bound Fool feature*

You gain proficiency in Charisma saving throws. Your Strength or Dexterity score increases by 2, and you may add your Charisma modifier to your damage rolls instead of your Strength or Dexterity modifier.

Devotion Unyielding

• 2nd-level Bound Fool feature*

Whenever your Bonded takes damage, you may use your reaction to absorb half of that damage (rounded down), taking it yourself instead. You cannot reduce this damage below 1. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and regain all expended uses after a long rest.

Unbreakable Connection

• 3rd-level Bound Fool feature*

Your emotional bond strengthens. You can now communicate telepathically with your Bonded, regardless of distance, as long as you are both on the same plane of existence.

Additionally, whenever your Bonded is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to increase the damage dealt to that attack by your Bound Fool level (up to a maximum of 10 extra damage).

Ability Score Improvement

• 4th-level feature, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th levels.*

When you reach a level with Ability Score Improvement, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores by 1 each. Alternatively, you can take a Heartfelt Skill.

Champion's Vow

• 5th-level Bound Fool feature*

Your vow to your Bonded strengthens. Whenever you take the Attack action, you may make one additional attack as part of the same action. Additionally, your attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Protective Guardian

• 6th-level Bound Fool feature*

Whenever a creature you can see attacks your Bonded, you may use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. If the attack misses, you may make a melee weapon attack against the attacker as a part of your reaction.

Heartbond Surge

• 7th-level Bound Fool feature*

Once per short rest, you may activate a surge of emotional power. For 1 minute, you gain advantage on all attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks. Additionally, you may add your Charisma modifier to your AC.

Overwhelming Devotion

• 9th-level Bound Fool feature*

When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you can choose to channel your devotion into a powerful burst of energy. All creatures within 20 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw or take 4d6 force damage (half on a success).

Soul Swap

• 10th-level Bound Fool feature*

As an action, you can swap places with your Bonded as long as they are within 50 feet. After doing so, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Bound Fool level + your Charisma modifier. These temporary hit points last for 1 minute.

Unstoppable Force

• 11th-level Bound Fool feature*

Whenever you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to immediately gain 1d10 temporary hit points and continue fighting as if you had not been reduced to 0. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Unbreakable Will

• 13th-level Bound Fool feature*

You gain advantage on saving throws against being stunned, frightened, or charmed. Additionally, any creature that attempts to charm or frighten you suffers disadvantage on their saving throw.

Eternal Promise

• 14th-level Bound Fool feature*

Your bond with your Bonded becomes unbreakable. You cannot be frightened, paralyzed, or stunned while your Bonded is within 60 feet of you. Additionally, if your Bonded is reduced to 0 hit points, you can immediately use your action to revive them with 1 hit point once per long rest.

Fool's Finale

• 15th-level Bound Fool feature*

When you fall to 0 hit points, you can make one final desperate attack against a creature within your range. This attack is made with advantage, and on a hit, it deals maximum damage.

Divine Reckoning

• 17th-level Bound Fool feature*

For 1 minute, you become a force of nature. You gain resistance to all damage, and your attacks deal an additional 3d6 damage. You may use this feature once per long rest.

Immortal Bond

• 18th-level Bound Fool feature*

Your bond is immortal. As long as your Bonded is alive, you cannot die. If you are reduced to 0 hit points, you are instead brought to 1 hit point and immediately regain 2d10 hit points at the start of your next turn.

True Devotion

• 20th-level Bound Fool feature*

Your devotion to your Bonded reaches its peak. You can take two full turns during each of your turns, one before and one after your Bonded’s turn. Once per long rest, you may choose to deal an additional 4d6 radiant damage on every successful hit for 1 minute.
