Viz-Jaq'taar Assassin (5e Class)

Viz-Jaq'taar Assassin

“

"Keep your enemies close, and your blades closer." — Viz-Jaq'taar saying

”

The Viz-Jaq'taar, otherwise known as the "Order of the Mage Slayers" or simply "Assassins," are a secretive order whose task is to weed out demonic corruption from the Mage Clans. The Order's code is based on passages from Lam Esen's Tome
The Order has its origins in the Mage Clan Wars. In the aftermath of the conflict, the Vizjerei foreswore the use of demonic magic. To this end, the Viz-jaq'taar were created, a secret order whose sole goal was to police the Mage Clans. The Order remains veiled in secrecy, and few people, even among the Mage Clans, know of its existence. However, the mere rumor of their existence has been enough to prevent many mages from falling into temptation.
The Vizjerei Mage Clan, otherwise known as the Brotherhood of the Vizjerei or the Spirit Clan, is one of the eldest and most dominant of the Mage Clans. Their ranks are composed of Sorcerers and Mages.
Vizjerei are known for their brightly colored "turinash" (spirit robes), which grant them protection from spells and demonic creatures. They focus on the use of Elemental Magic. Whereas they were once based around the summoning of demons, they now take great interest in seeing that demons are slain. A Vizjerei neonate knows only the simplest of spells to start, but can expect to rapidly grow in power as he/she discovers new incantations. The Vizjerei discovered ways to use a simple wooden Staff as a container for focused magical energy. The process of creating a spell staff is very time consuming, but even an apprentice Vizjerei can recharge a staff by channeling magical energy into it.
The symbol of the clan is a dragon bent over a crescent moon. They are currently based in the Yshari Sanctum, but maintain(ed) a number of outlying schools for the study of Magic.
Members of the clan are sometimes called "spirit mages," though this is a term used only by the Mage Clans and demons.

“

"Each cut should be clean, both in execution and in spirit." - Arts of the Viz-Jaq'taar (excerpt)

”

Knowing that the Order might be itself corrupted if exposed to magic, the Vizjerei deemed that the Assassins would have to possess the purest, most focused minds, that they should draw their power from within, not without. As such, the Order does not employ magic directly. Rather, Assassins use ingenious devices and enchanted items to battle those possessing great magical powers. To further their campaign against demonic corruption, they hone the natural martial abilities of their bodies, both physical and mental/psychic. They train extensively in the use of a specialized type of weapon—special blades that are attached to their wrists, which are used in conjunction with their style of martial arts. Additionally, Assassins are masters of infiltration, using a variety of shadow disciplines.
The martial arts techniques used by Assassins fall into two groups. The first type are charge-up moves, attacks that add a "charge" for each successful attack done within a short period of time. The second type is the finishing move, which follows charge-up strikes, adding a charge of its own.

Viz-Jaq'taar Assassin's in the Game

Viz-Jaq'taar Assassins... well, hunt spellcasters. An NPC Viz-Jaq'taar Assassin may be distrustful toward the party spellcasters at best and hostile at worst. Viz-Jaq'taar Assassins do not hate all spellcasters; they are in fact trained in mage Vizjerei clan (guild) to hunt down dissidents and keep order in the world of magic. In fact, the intentions don't make a Viz-Jaq'taar Assassin, they just all share the same training.

Viz-Jaq'taar Assassins in the World

“	Yeah, I killed archmagi Zearusu the Great. No big deal after I disabled his ability to cast spells.	”
—Zotha, Viz-Jaq'taar Assassin

Viz-Jaq'taar Assassin's are hated by spellcasters... for obvious reason. Otherwise they are no different from the standard adventurer.

Martial Arts

At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons, which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don't have the heavy property.
You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you're wearing light or no armor:

• You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
• You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Viz-Jaqtaar Assassin table.
• When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, 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.

Tiger's Strike Beginning at first (1st) level the Assassin can use the Tiger Strike martial art attack.
Through extensive training in human, animal, and demonic anatomies, Assassins have developed the ability to perceive natural points of weakness in their foes and target these locations for especially devastating attacks.

• Required Level: 1
  Skill Tree: Martial Arts
  Cost: 1 Psi point
  Other Stats: Charge-up Point. 1 charge = force damage equivilant to your prof. bonus.
  Successful Attack actions on an enemy and stores a charge. Tiger Strike adds an amount of force damage to the finisher, but (as with all charge-up attacks) is slow to unleash its full potential due to the nature of the charge-up system. Each successful attack with Tiger Strike (up to a max of 3) stores a mystical field of force energy that manifests as a (1 to 3) white orb(s) of light orbiting the Assassin until its released into a Finisher attack bonus action.
  A turn after the force charge up is gathered and not released fades away at the end of the next turn.
  Damage Type: Physical/Force

Dragon Talon
Attacks an enemy with a flurry of kicks on an bonus action. An Assassin is taught to utilize her entire body as a weapon. Using this skill, she lets loose a powerful kick to send her opponents flying requiring a con saving throw vs. the amount of damage dealt to knock the enemy back 10' (feet/2 spaces) on a failed save. A critical success will knock the target prone instead.

• Required Level: 1
  Skill Tree: Martial Arts
  Cost: 1 Psi point
  Other Stats: Finishing Move
  This ability is a Finishing Move, unleashing one charge from each of the Charge-up points as well as adding its own benefit. If any charges are consumed, this skill always hits.
  Dragon Talon releases accumulated charges through a powerful kick. Additional charge-up points invested (max of 3) in the skill causes the user to kick multiple times. Only the first kick gets the benefits of the charge-up points. Subsequent kicks in the sequence just do the normal damage.
  Number of kicks per single successful attack per class level.
  
• Levels 1 -- 5 = 1 kick @ 1d4 + str + charges.
• Levels 6 -- 11 = 2 kicks @ 2d4 + str + charges
• Levels 12 -- 17 = 3 kicks @ 3d4 + str + charges
• Levels 18 -- 20+ = 4 kicks @ 4d4 + str + charges
Damage Type: Physical/Force

Weapon Block After developing this skill, an Assassin wielding two (2) Claw-class weapons can use her blades to deflect incoming attacks, thus giving herself a defensive edge without using a shield.
At 2nd level an Assassin's skill with their claw type weapons are so precise that they are able to block Melee, Ranged and Unarmed attacks as if they were using a shield.

• Required Level: 2
  Skill Tree: Martial Arts
  Cost: 2 Psi points
  Other Stats: Defensive Action
  Effect: When another creature damages you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend 2 Psi pts. to reduce the damage by the number you roll on your superiority die + your Dexterity modifier.
  When an enemy does a successful attack to the assassin; she can respond in a reaction before damage is rolled to enact a weapon block and gain a deflection bonus to her AC equal to her proficiency bonus. IF the attack roll is still above the new AC modifier than the Assassin recieves damage as normal, otherwise the attack fails.

Claw Mastery

Assassin signature monk weapons The Assassin is a character class introduced in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. The Assassins' main weapon is a Claw or other such weapon used in the fist such as Katar or Hatchet Hands. At 1st lvl your monastery training has raised your skill with claw weapons to a lethal mastery.
This skill is very useful for any Assassin focused on Martial Arts skills. Combining the Attack Rating and Damage bonuses of the Charge-up Points, Finishing Moves, and Claw Mastery adds up to a lot of bonuses. It covers all Katars, (can be used in pairs, with main hand and off hand) not just actual Claws.


• Required Level: 1
• Damage Type: Physical
  You master the Claw family of wrist weapons. You gain the following benefits when using any of them:
• You can use two-weapon fighting.
• You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with the weapons.
• You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you are wielding a separate melee weapon in each hand.
• You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one.
• On your turn, you can use your reaction to assume a parrying stance, provided you have the weapon(s) in hand.
• When you make an opportunity attack with the weapon(s), you have advantage on the attack roll. If a feature such as Extra Attack allows you to make multiple attacks using the Attack action, this benefit also applies to attacks you make with your off-hand weapon using your bonus action.
• You can choose to make a single additional attack with your off-hand weapon as part of the Attack action. If you do this, you can't make any off-hand attacks using your bonus action on this turn.
• When you use your reaction to make a weapon attack, you can make an off-hand attack as part of the same reaction.



("off-hand" refers to the hand you would normally use to make a weapon attack as a bonus action when you engage in two-weapon fighting.)
A katar, also known as a Bundi dagger, is a short punching sword that is native to the Indian subcontinent and popular elsewhere for swift and quick attacks. It is notable for its horizontal hand grip, which results in the blade of the sword sitting above the user's knuckles.

• Type: Simple Weapon
• Cost: 4Gp
• Damage: 1d6; piercing/slashing
• Weight: 1 lb.
• Properties: Finesse, Light
• Special: A Katar automatically succeeds against contests to disarm it.

A katar is a superior one-handed melee weapon in the light blade weapon group.Template:Cite PHB The katar has high crits, dealing an extra 1d6 damage at levels 1-10, 2d6 damage at levels 11-20, or 3d6 damage at level 21-30, on a critical hit. A katar is also an off-hand weapon. A character can use a katar to make attacks even while holding another one-handed weapon in the other hand, and can use the other one-handed weapon to make attacks even if it isn't an off-hand weapon.

The Viz-Jaq taar Assassin class has proficiency with the katar as a class trait labled as "Claw Mastery", but any other character class can become proficient by taking a Weapon Proficiency feat.

Psi-Power Points

Starting at 1st level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of Chi. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of Mastery points. Your monk level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Mastery Points column of the Assassin table.
You can spend these points to fuel various Martial Arts, Shadow Discipline, Set Snares features.
When you spend a Mastery point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended Chi back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your Mastery points.
Some of your Shadow Disciplines or Set Snares features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

• Chi save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.



Shadow Disciplines

To remain protected from exposure to the potential corruption of magic, Assassins must defeat their sorcerous opponents without actually using spells themselves. To this end, they have mastered the clandestine talents, as well as the arts of obfuscation, and honed their latent psychic abilities to develop the Shadow Disciplines. These skills represent the end result of generations of strict mental conditioning and intensive stealth training.


Burst of Speed
Tapping into her psychokinetic energies at lvl three (3), an Assassin temporarily increases the speed of her movements and attacks.
Your speed and reflexes are greatly enhanced. Your movement speed increases by 10 feet then in creases by 5 ft. at levels 6 to 15 ft., level 10 to 20 ft., level 14 to 25 ft. and caps at level 18 to 30 ft. . In addition, you gain the following features:
• Swift Runner
You gain proficiency in Athletics. Your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are already proficient with this skill.
Swift Runner grants you the benefit of Unarmored movement as long as you are equipped with light armor or none as all. As with any monk based class; wearing medium armor or heavier negates the Assassins' features.
• Action Surge
Starting at 3rd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can spend 3 mastery points take one additional action on top of your regular action.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.
• Extra Attack
Starting at 3rd level you are able to spend Psi Points, you can take an additional attack action in the same turn.
• Step of the Wind
Starting at 3rd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. By spending 3 mastery points you can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the dash action, disengage action, or hide action action.
• Patient Defense
You can spend 3 Psi points to take the dodge action action as a bonus action on your turn.
When you take the Dodge action, you focus entirely on avoiding attacks. Until the start of your next turn, any attack roll made against you has disadvantage if you can see the attacker, and you make Dexterity saving throws with advantage. You lose this benefit if you are incapacitated (as explained in appendix PH-A) or if your speed drops to 0.
• Quickdraw
Starting 5th level you can spend 5 Psi points to give yourself advantage on an initiative roll. If you are surprised, you can act normally on your turn when you use quickdraw.
• *Burst of Speed does not work together with Fade. Casting one overrides the other.*
• Evasion
At 7th level, your conditioned agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, when you spend 7 psi points giving you a +4 AC dodge bonus. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
• Cloak of Shadows
At 3rd level, you are able to call upon the shadow planes to shroud yourself in shadow that muffles sound made within a 10' (foot) radius around you and dims light reflection of your skin, clothing and equipment. Cloak of Shadows gives you expertise in Stealth for 1 minute per every 3 mastery points spent.
• Fade

At 6th level your training in resisting magics of all types has made you more prepared for dealing with all of its effects. Your efforts have paid off giving you a +2 bonus to all spell saving throws and to your armor class when targeted by a spell attack. Additionally, whenever you are damaged by a spell, you can reduce this damage by two times the bonus that this trait gives you to your armor class and saving throws against spells. The bonus provided by this trait increases to +3 at 6th level and +4 at 9th level.
• Shadow Warrior
At 9th level, you can use a bonus action to psionically manifest an shadow of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This shadow warrior is a translucent, dark gray image of you that lasts until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, until you manifest another shadow warrior, or until you're incapacitated.
Your shadow has the same AC as you do, 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. If it has to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. On your turn, you can mentally command the shadow to move up to 30 feet in any direction (no action required). If your shadow warrior is ever more than 30 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed.
When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the shadow warrior's space. You make this choice for each attack. When a creature that you can see within 5 feet of your shadow warrior moves at least 5 feet away from it, you can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack against that creature as if you were in the shadow's space.
• Shadow Master

This discipline allows an Assassin to project an even more powerful shadow avatar. The Shadow Master has access to all of the Assassin skills, also skills you don't have yet. Overall the shadow master is stronger and tougher.

Traps

Sometimes, the incredible martial prowess and awesome psychic capacity of the Assassins are not enough to battle all forms of magic-wielding menaces. To supplement her array of tools and abilities, the Assassin has access to an ingenious group of devices. These mechanisms, engineered by Viz-Jaq'taar sages, have been perfected over many years of use. They range from simple thrown missiles and bombs to more complex proximity-triggered sentries.
Traps are a very unique and innovative set of skills; they can be placed anywhere and will activate when the enemy approaches. They compliment the Assassin's stealth abilities and her ability to lure enemies into areas where her traps exist. Traps are a very powerful set of skills, and are not to be taken lightly. When used judiciously, they can make the difference between victory and defeat--and are quite fun to use too.
