Titan Shift[edit]

Starting at level 1, you can shift into a Titan.

When you do so, you have half of your Titan's total average hit points (rounded up), and your attacks do half the damage dice. Your regeneration feature only gives you half as much hit points per turn. You lose your multi-attack if you have it, any resistances you have, in Titan form becomes a resistance. Any psychic damage done to you doesn’t affect your Titan but instead deals damage to your character directly.

You can stay as a Titan in minutes equal to your Titanshifter level. Once these minutes are up, or you want to become a humanoid again before that, you can use your action to have your Titan form will fall to the ground, and you will burst out of the Titan's nape. The body will evaporate into steam over the course of the next 1d6 minutes.

You transform under the affects of the true polymorph spell, except you keep your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as well as your personality and alignment. Your physical body is still in the nape of the Titan, but is melded with it slightly so you see out of the Titan's eyes, and such. When you transform, you instantly regain any lost limbs, all non-magical conditions on you are removed, and you regain all of your lost hit points. Any damage you take is done to your Titan form, unless it is psychic.

Every time you transform, you must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw or lose control of your titan form. If you lose control, your titan form goes under the affects of the confusion spell. You can re-roll the save at the start of each of your turns, ending it on a success. If you spend at least one minute in concentration before you transform, you don't have the make the check.

When you come out of the Titan, you gain one level of exhaustion.

You can use this feature once. In order to regain this use, you must succeed a DC 18 Constitution saving throw a the end of a short or long rest. Every time you fail this saving throw, its DC is decreased by 1 until you succeed it.

When you reach level 7 in this class, you can shift 2 times and regain this ability every long rest. You no longer have to make a check to regain the ability to turn into a Titan when you take a rest, you don't have to make a Wisdom when you transform to avoid confusion, and you only suffer a single exhaustion when you leave your Titan form.

When you reach level 14 in this class, you can stay in your Titan form indefinitely and you can transform into a titan as many times as you want. Keep in mind that it still takes an action to leave your current titan. Your damage, maximum health, and regeneration is no longer halved. If you transform more than once in the same day, you do not regain all of your hit points when you transform the second time or anytime after that, but instead you start at half you maximum hit points.

Regeneration[edit]

At 1st level, because you have transformed into a Titan so many times, you can regenerate hit points in humanoid form. You can heal 1 hit point every minute indefinitely. This feature also regenerates small scars and relativity obsolete injuries, like losing a finger or a tooth, and regenerates bigger injuries like severed limbs over the course of a few hours.

With your regeneration feature, you can also go into a boost mode that heals you faster. As an action, you can enter rapid-regeneration mode. When activated, you can heal 10 hit points per minute (1 per turn) instead of 1 until this feature is shut off. When you enter rapid-regeneration mode, you cannot turn into a Titan because your body is too focused on healing you. You can end rapid-regeneration mode as an action.

The first time you drop under 0 hit points, or you become unconscious with under half of your total hit points, you automatically enter rapid-regeneration mode and you cannot shut it off until you are have at least half of your maximum hit point, though if reduced to 0 hit points while in rapid-regeneration mode you will remain at 0 hit points and make death saves as per normal. If you enter rapid-regeneration mode this way, you are unconscious until you have half of your hit point maximum. This can only be done once per long rest.

This feature ceases to function when you are in your Titan form, as it already heals for you.

Heroism[edit]

Starting at level 2, your courage reflects onto your allies. As a bonus action, all allies within 60 ft. gain advantage on saving throws against being frightened for 1 minute, and can make a free saving throw against any frightened conditions on them immediately. Once you use this feature, you must complete a long or short rest before you can use it again.

Revenge[edit]

By level 3, you have seen countless battles and have learned to make you enemies hurt. When attacking a creature that has taken away at least half of your maximum hit points, you can choose to deal double damage against them. You can only do this extra damage once per long rest.

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 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]

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 at 9th level.

Occult Blows[edit]

Starting at 6th level, your attacks in titan form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Battle Scan[edit]

At level 7, you are always aware of the threats around you, and always on edge to defend yourself from threats. Hostile creatures have disadvantage when making Dexterity (Stealth) checks against your passive Wisdom (Perception) score, and creatures attacking you when you are surprised have disadvantage on their attack rolls. When you are in combat initiative, you can make Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) checks as a bonus action.

Cunning Dodge[edit]

When you reach level 9, you have become quick and reflexive. When fail to make a Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution saving throw , you can choose to succeed instead. You can only use this feature once per short or long rest.

Lightning Attack[edit]

At level 10, you have practiced with your attacks that you can strike targets with incredible haste. When you make an attack on someone, you can ignore any reactions they take in response to your attack. For example, if you attack someone, and they cast shield in defense, they do not gain the +5 AC bonus until your attack ends.

Transfer Consciousness[edit]

At level 13, you learn a difficult feature used by the strongest Titanshifters. As an action or reaction, you can transfer your consciousness to your Titan form, meaning if your human form dies in your Titan form, you continue to live in the Titan. Doing this requires so much energy that your Titan form cannot heal itself, and loses the regeneration feature. If your Titan form drops to zero hit points, you die, plain and simple. If your normal body does die when you are still in your Titan, you can transfer your consciousness as a reaction.

Five minutes after you transfer your consciousness, your Titan body regains the use of it's regeneration feature, but only for the purposes of healing your body (if it is damaged. If it is destroyed, the Titan body starts to make an identical body inside the nape of the Titan). Your body starts to regain hit points with the regeneration feature, but the Titan body does not start to heal. You can only transfer back to your normal body as an action when it as at half or more of its maximum hit points.

If you run out of time in your Titan form before your body is healed all of the way, your Titan body becomes completely stunned and cannot move, although the regeneration feature still works, so it can heal your normal body. When your body is at half or more health and in working condition, your consciousness is transferred back into your normal body and you gain two levels of exhaustion automatically. Your Titan body then starts to disappear like normal.

Titan Shield[edit]

At level 18, you gain the ability to form a barrier with your titan body and husk. You can end your titan shift early and spend half your maximum hit points (rounded down) to create a meat shield with the main body of the titan, or you can expend three fourths of your maximum hit points (rounded down) to create a crystal barrier. You also gain an extra level of exhaustion when coming out from the crystal form. The meat shield has double the size of your titan, and can block half of the hit points of the titan health, and the crystal shield creates can block an amount of damage equal to your titans full hit points and it creates a dome around where you start creating it, large enough for 20 large creatures. When you burst out, you come out of the nape. The meat shield lasts for 1 minute, and the crystal lasts until destroyed. They both have the AC the titan has before going into the shield form.

Instinct Mode[edit]

Starting at level 20, you can go into a concentrated rage that unleashes the pure instincts in your blood to destroy your enemies. As a bonus action, you can enter Instinct Mode. When in Instinct Mode, all your attacks in titan form deal double damage on sucessfull hits, you have advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws, and you are considered resistant to all damage types except psychic. Instinct Mode ends after a minute, or until you take a bonus action to end it. Once you use Instinct Mode, the titan's body gain 3 levels of exhaustion and you must finish a long rest before you can do it again.
