User:Doriansword/Sun Breather (5e Class)

Creating a Sun Breathing user.

Sun Breathers are exceptionally rare, seeing as they use the first ever breathing style created so long ago in an attempt to combat the demon's incredible strength. Sun breathers are seemingly made to kill demons and this can be seen in how effective their forms are at doing so focusing very little on defense and mostly on defeating demons quickly so they may move on to the next fight.

This form can only be used after another and gives the Sun Breather one level of exhaustion when attempted.

Second Form: Everburning Blade

Using this form expends the Sun Breather's main action, as well as one breathing point.

Third Form: Spark Slash Explosion

The Sun Breather sheathes their blade before quickly unsheathing it in a slashing motion that launches sparks outwards 5ft in front of them, these sparks then explode shortly after being launched dealing 1d8+wis mod radiant damage and blinding the victim until the Sun Breather’s next turn on a failed DEX save. Using this form expends the Sun Breather's main action, as well as three breathing points.

Dances of the Fire God

Starting at level three the Sun Breather gains the ability to learn a dance of the fire god, the dance they choose will grant them bonuses and help them further their advance against the demonic scourge.

Dance of Freedom

Once per long rest, the Sun Breather can perform the dance of freedom as a reaction which will allow them to bypass a save against any immobilizing effect and instead move their full movement towards the creature that attempted to immobilize them (if it is a creature) and make an attack against them

Dance of Protection

Once per long rest, the Sun Breather can perform the dance of justice allowing them to dash their full movement speed to an ally as a reaction to being attacked, after this dash the Sun Breather can attempt to deflect the attack with a 1d20+ chosen mod+ proficiency mod (only if the Sun Breather has proficiency with the weapon they are using to deflect the attack) check against the assailants attack roll. For example: if an attacker rolls a 15 in an attack against the Sun Breather's ally and the Sun Breather rolls a 16 they will have negated all damage and leave the assailant open for a counter-attack. If the sun breather is able to deflect the attack they can make a counter-attack against the assailants in the form of a weapon attack with advantage.
