Crimson Templar[edit]
A towering figure clad in crimson armor leads a hoard of undead to lay siege to a castle to gain entry and begin his revolution... A heretic stands upon the gallows stand in his black armor and crimson cloak and shouts to the people showing what is wrong with the world and as the guards come to stop him he jumps into the crowd as shadows fade around him as he now appears as nothing but a commoner and fades away from sight
Cause of change[edit]
Crimson Templars are revolutionaries and incite change either as moderates or extremists but they are often met with opposition and must often resort to more... "Unique" methods

Fiendish Studies[edit]
As an action, you can study a creature you can see within 60 feet. You gain advantage on all Charisma, Wisdom and Dexterity (Stealth) checks against the target.
In addition, you also gain a bonus equal to your proficiency bonus to all your attack rolls, damage rolls and save DC's for your crimson templar features against this opponent.
Starting at 6th level, you can study a opponent as a bonus action on your turn.
In addition, at 6th level and 15th levels, you are able to maintain these bonuses against one additional foe at the same time. You can end the study of one target at the start of your turn, without spending an action, allowing you to study another target.
Deific Obedience[edit]
At 1st level, you choose a deity to obey, and from which you gain divine boons for your loyal and devote service. Your chosen deity will grant you divine boons. You gain a divine boon at 3rd level, and again at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th levels.
- Obedience
When you choose a deity to become a devotee, you must perform a daily rite of obedience, that takes 1 hour per day to complete. You only gain the benefits of your class feature after performing that rite, and the benefits of the rite lasts until your next long rest.
Failing to perform your daily obedience will cause you to lose all benefits of your Deific Obedience until you do it.
Sneak Attack[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, whenever you have advantage on a melee attack, or fight an opponent while one of your allies is within 5 feet of it, you deal extra damage equal to 1d6. The extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown on the sneak attack column on the Crimson Templar table.
In addition, whenever you deal Sneak Attack damage, you can immediately apply your Fiendish Studies bonus on the creature, without spending an action.
Shield of Wings[edit]
At 2nd level, you gain resistance to fire damage. At 18th level, you become immune to fire damage.
As a bonus action, you can manifest a set of five burning wings from your back, gaining a fly speed of 40 feet for a number of minutes equal to your level. You can dismiss these wings without requiring an action, but any remaining duration is lost.
While you have these wings, and for a number of minutes equal to the number of minutes the crimson templar had wings after the duration ends or the wings are dismissed, you don't have the fire resistance or immunity granted by shield of wings.
Ruthlessness[edit]
At 3rd level, when a creature within melee reach becomes grappled, restrained or incapacitated, you can make an attack against it as a reaction.
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack[edit]
You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Heavenly Fire[edit]
At 5th level, the you can incinerate unaware foes with pure celestial flame. When you deal sneak attack damage to a creature you had successfully used his fiendish studies ability on, the sneak attack wreathes the target in crimson fire.
The target must attempt a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). On a failed save, the target takes additional damage equal to half your level x 1d6. Half of this damage is fire damage, half is radiant.
On a successful save, the target takes the sneak attack damage as normal but does not take any of the heavenly fire damage. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your level in this class.
Immolate[edit]
At 18th level, whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a sneak strike or with your ruthlessness, the target must attempt a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier).
On a failed save save, the target is disintegrated, leaving behind only a trace of fine ash, like in the disintegrate spell.
A fiend or undead have no saving throw against this effect.
