BOND WITH YOUR GHOST

There are many wandering and scattered souls that hover unseen throughout Iùrmen, unable to proceed in the afterlife. Some of them are linked to a specific place, where others find individuals willing to welcome them as if they were some sort of phylactery and with whom they establish an indissoluble bond and mutual benefit. Mediums often tend to have great empathy for the regrets and the lost relationships of their ghosts, pursuing goals that old age has prevented them from achieving or harboring desires of revenge towards their killers, for example. The symbiosis of the Mediums with their own ghosts, however, opens the door to the union between the vitality of mortals and the eternity of the dead, gaining power but often also a kind of catharsis from the afflictions of earthly life or a presence that relieves them of an incurable loneliness. It is not uncommon for these spirits to belong to ancestors who seek their descendants to find help in completing what they have left unresolved or come to their aid at the most desperate time.

GHOST IN AMBUSH

At 1st level, with a bonus action you can summon the ghost that is inside you and materialize it outside your body, in a special condition that from now on will be defined as "into the open". The ghost will hover ominously behind you, in a special condition that from now on will instead be called "in ambush", from which it can be sent, as a Reaction, to cling to an enemy who has made a melee attack against you.

If the ghost is clinging to a target, the latter cannot recover Hit Points in any way, and, if it is an Undead, it would cause it to have Disadvantage on its next attack against you.

At the end of the target’s next turn, the ghost sinks its ethereal claws into the target. Then, roll 2d6: If the result is equal to or greater than the remaining Hit Points of the target, the latter is reduced to 0 Hit Points and is treated as dying. Creatures immune to necrotic damage are immune to this effect.

After using its ethereal claws, whether the target has dropped to 0 Hit Points or not, the ghost immediately returns within you and is no longer to be considered either “into the open” or “in ambush” (several features listed below refer to these two special conditions).

This feature can be used once, then you regain its use after you complete a short or long rest.

At 7th level, you can use this feature twice and, when the ghost sinks its claws, you roll 3d8 instead of 2d6; at 14th level, when the spectrum sinks its claws, roll 5d10, and if the target is reduced to 0 Hit Points, the Medium regains as much Hit Points as half the Hit Points thus lost by to the target.

SPECTRAL CLAW

At 1st level, you learn the chill touch cantrip (your spellcasting ability for this spell is Charisma). When you cast chill touch, the effect lasts until the end of your next turn, rather than until the start of your next turn.

NATURE OF THE SPIRIT

At 2nd level, you choose a Nature of the Spirit. This choice provides new features to the 2nd, 6th, 11th, and 18th levels.

FIGHTING STYLE

At 3rd level, you adopt a particular fighting style as your specialty, focusing on a category of weapons of choice from those listed below. You cannot choose the same option more than once.

When you 1 or 2 in a dice roll to determine the damage of a two-handed melee weapon, you can repeat the roll and use the new result. The weapon must have the Two-Handed or Versatile property to benefit from this feature.

When you make an offhand attack as a bonus action while two-weapon fighting, add the appropriate ability modifier to the damage of the offhand attack as well.

When you wield a melee weapon in one hand without wielding any other weapons, you get a +2 bonus on that weapon’s damage rolls.

You get a +2 bonus on Attack Rolls with ranged weapons.

DARK DETERMINATION

At 3rd level, you can regain 2d6 Soul Points as a bonus action. This feature can be used once, then you regain its use after you complete a long rest.

At 9th level, you regain 2d10 Soul Points.

ABILITY SCORE IMPROVEMENT

At 4th level, and again at the 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th levels, you can increase an ability score by 2, or increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As usual, you cannot bring an ability above 20 through this privilege.

If you implement the optional feat rule, you can give up this privilege to choose a feat instead.

VICIOUS CLAW

At 4th level, if you miss a target with chill touch, you still deal necrotic damage equal to 1 plus your Charisma modifier (the target takes no other effects, as the spell did not score a hit).

EXTRA ATTACK

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 when you reach 17th level in this class.

SPECTRAL RENDING

At 10th level, when performing an attack with a weapon against a target under the effect of chill touch, or clinged to by your ghost, you can score a critical hit with a roll of 19-20.

TWIN CLAWS

At 13th level, when you score a critical hit with chill touch, you can immediately use chill touch against a second target within 15 feet of the first one.

SPECTRAL SNARE

At 15th level, when you score a critical hit with a weapon attack, your ghost comes out “into the open” (if it was not already) and immediately clings to the target.

This feature does not count for the number of Ghost in Ambush feature uses.

STEEL CLAW

At 20th level, once per turn you can use chill touch instead of a weapon attack, when using the Attack action on your turn.

If you implement the optional feats rule, you can give up this feature and choose a feat instead.

THE POSSESSION OF A MEDIUM

Although Mediums are already possessed by ghosts, they can still be victims of Possession once their Soul Points reserve drops to 0. The lurking Dark Mirror entities will have the opportunity to corrupt the mind of the Medium's ghost, and this bond will be exploited to have control over the character. An exorcism, therefore, will lead to the purification of the Medium's ghost, thus driving away the malignant entity that had taken control of it.

NATURE OF THE GHOST

By learning about their ghost and learning how to use their powers, the Medium begins to observe its true nature. Only when the nature of the spirit is revealed it can unleash its true potential.

Ghost spells At 2nd level, when choosing a Nature of the Spirit, drawing power from the ghostly essence, you can cast thematic spells.

Spells: the description of each archetype contains the list of spells that can be cast with this feature, along with the level at which each spell is obtained and how many times you can use it. You regain every use when you complete a long rest.

Spellcasting ability: Charisma is the spellcasting ability of a Medium, as it is the mere strength of their willpower that fights against the possession by the ghost until it comes to understand its power. Take your Charisma score as a reference when a spell mentions the spellcasting ability. Use your Charisma modifier to determine the Difficulty Class (DC) of Saving Throws for Ghost spells cast or used to attack.

Saving Throw DC= 8 + your Proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier= your Proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.
