Hojosa[edit]

Based on the character Ilpyo Park from the webtoon The God of Highschool by Yongje Park, you use martial arts and mystical powers in order to destroy your foes. You act as the avatar of a trickster god. (WARNING: This class contains spoilers for The God of Highschool by Yongje Park. Please read with discretion.)

Hojosa, The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit[edit]

The spirit of Hojosa, an old fox spirit that served the jade emperor in the heavenly realm. Having been betrayed once by the jade emperor, he fell into a berserker like rage slaughtering many gods and destroying half of the heavenly realm before his eventual defeat. He was sealed in a cave, where he was trapped for 2000 years. Eventually, his spirit escaped to the mortal realm though his body was still trapped. Lurking throughout the realm, his spirit searched for a vessel to avenge him. That vessel is you.

Creating a Hojosa[edit]

Who was your character before becoming possessed and empowered by the spirit of Hojosa? Were they devout followers who had been chosen due to their diligence? Perhaps you had a quality that the spirit deemed admirable or alluring? Does your character want to succumb to Hojosa's desire for revenge, or are they abject to it instead following their own path?

Martial Arts[edit]

At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes.

- You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield:

- You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes.

- You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike. This die changes as you gain Hojosa levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Hojosa table.

When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn.

Illusive Defence[edit]

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no Armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

Ssam-su Taekkyeon[edit]

Starting at 2nd level, you begin to develop a new fighting style based on Taekkyeon. Whether this fighting style is purely original, or acts as a memento from a previous mentor is down to you. It is a combination of Practical Taekkyon and Renewal Taekwondo in order to minimize the weaknesses of Taekkyon. You gain a number of Ssam-su Taekkyeon techniques equal to the number listed in the 'techniques' column of the Hojosa table.

Skill Points[edit]

Starting at 2nd level, you gain access to Skill Points. Skill Points are necessary to perform certain techniques or use certain features. You have a number of Skill Points equal to the number demonstrated in the skill points column of the Hojosa table. You regain all Skill Points after a short or long rest. All abilities that use Skill Points share the same Save DC.

Save DC= 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Starting at 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain Hojosa levels, as shown in the Hojosa table.

At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.

Spirit Path[edit]

Your powers newly manifesting have become difficult to ignore. You may not be completely aware of what is happening to you, but you sense something isn't quite right. Thoughts in your head with suggestions and motive start to leak into your mindscape over some vague resentment and lust for revenge. Will you listen to the voices, dominate your own mind or even try to use the strange new entity within you for your own gains? At 3rd level, you chose a Spirit Path. Choose between the Trickster Spirit, Vengeful Spirit or Warrior Spirit all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd, 6th, 11th, 14th and 17th level.

Ability Score Improvement[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 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.
