Whenever a creature ends their turn within 5 feet of the Vramathi, they must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to the Templar's Zeal DC or be poisoned for one round. Creatures who are poisoned by this ability have disadvantage on their saving throw.
 

Storm of Chaos

Level: 14th Level
Demon Templars are able to reach within the Abyss and pull out a storm so chaotic that it does not conform to the laws of reality, twisting and violently turning, shifting from a storm of bone-chilling cold to aberrant screams in moments. Once per long rest, as an action the Demon Templar may create a Storm of Chaos at a location within 60 feet. When the Storm of Chaos is created the Demon Templar may roll twice on the damage table and take either result. The storm has a 15-foot radius and any creatures within may roll a Dexterity saving throw with a DC equal to the Templar's Zeal DC. Upon failing the saving throw the creature takes 10d12 10d12 damage of the type rolled by the Demon Templar when the Storm of Chaos formed or half as much on a successful save.

Abyssal Infusion

Level: 18th level
Sometimes, the Abyss sees fit to infuse a Demon Templar with its chaotic power.

While having an Abyssal Infusion, whenever the Demon Templar takes damage, they may roll a 1d20, on the result of 11 or higher the Templar counts as having resistance to the damage type for the sake of that attack. Furthermore, whenever the Demon Templar makes an attack, the target loses its resistance to the damage and if it had immunity it instead has resistance. The Demon Templar may also change their weapon's damage type to any of the damage types available to their Storm of Chaos manifestation as a bonus action. This manifestation lasts up to one minute or until dismissed by the Demon Templar as a bonus action.
 

Fey Manifestations

Allure

Level: 6th Level
The Fey are masters of charms and trickery, many are known for their enchanting beauty and ability to swoon others into agreeing with them. Fey Templars may use an action to mark a target with Allure. When marked with Allure the target must make a Charisma saving throw. Upon a failure, they are marked with Allure and the Fey Templar gains advantage on all social checks towards them such as Persuasian and Deception. Furthermore, while marked in such a way, the target cannot directly act against the Fey Templar unless the Fey Templar acts against them first and in doing so, removes the mark. The Mark lasts for 10 minutes or until the Fey Templar removes it as a bonus action or the Fey Templar takes an action against the target.

Feyline Grace

Level: 14th Level
Fey Templars are perhaps the most graceful of their craft, having been blessed by the Fey Courts. As an action, a Fey Templar may invoke their Feyline Grace. While invoking Feyline Grace a Fey Templar gains a climb speed equal to their movement, in addition, they add an additional 15 feet to their standard movement speed as well as advantage on Dexterity saving throws.

Spears of the Forest

Level: 18th level
Fey Templars are so in tune with the natural world and the Feywild beyond that they can twist and call upon even unnatural events to happen. As an Action a Fey Templar may manifest Spears of the Forest. They may target any creatures within a 20-foot radius around them to be struck by this ability, forcing them to make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC equal to the Templar's Zeal DC or take 10d8+38 10d8+38 Psychic Damage or half as much on a successful save. Furthermore, creatures who fail the save have their movement speed reduced by half.
 

Undead Manifestations

Lifeleech

Level: 6th Level
Undead Templars are perhaps the most notorious for feeding off their enemies. While they do not require or oftentimes even use blood like a Vampire might, instead they siphon the life essence from their enemies to rejuvenate themselves. As a bonus action the Undead Templar may apply Lifeleech to their melee weapon attack. When damage is dealt while under the effects of Lifeleech the Undead Templar heals half of the damage dealt. However, the Undead Templar heals all the necrotic damage dealt. An Undead Templar may use this feature a number of times per day equal to their Wisdom modifier before requiring a long rest.
 

Raise Bone Crawler

Level: 10th Level
Undead Templars, while lacking the skill in necromancy that their more magically attuned brethren have, still can call upon minor undead to serve them. Perhaps most notable of these is the Bone Crawler which is easily scavenged almost anywhere. As an Action, an Undead Templar may manifest a Bone Crawler adjacent to them. The Bone Crawler lasts for up to 1 hour or until the Undead Templar dismisses it as a bonus action. A Templar may manifest a Bone Crawler a number of times per long rest equal to half their Wisdom modifier (rounding up).

Sharp Bones. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 plus PB to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4d6+3 4d6+3 Slashing Damage.
 
Bone to Pick. The Bone Crawler counts as always having thieves' tools that it can use, even when none are physically present.
 

Decay

Level: 14th Level
Undead Templars hold power over both forces of undeath and also the forces associated with it, such as rot and decay. As an action an Undead Templar may inflict Decay upon a target. They may use this ability twice before requiring a long rest. When a target is chosen to be afflicted by Decay that must make a Consitution saviung throw with the DC equal to the Templar's Zeal DC. Upon failing the test the creature reduces each of their physical stats by 1d4 and gain the Poisoned Condition for 1 minute. While the target may make a saving throw at the end of each of their turns to remove the Poisoned Condition, the stat reduction lasts until they take a long rest. Using Decay on the same target before they remove the reduction is only half as effective (halve the result of the 1d4, rounding up).
 

Expulsion of Life

Level: 18th level
Undead Templars hold control over the forces of life and death, though they primariky deal in ending lives, which is especially apparent given that many of them learn how to manifest a power most know simply as Expulsion of Life. As an action an Undead Templar may manifest Expulsion of Life, targetting a creature within 30 feet as the target. The Undead Templar rolls a number of D8s equal to their total hit die and if the amount exceeds the maximum hit points of the target it dies instantly and cannot be revived except by a Wish. Otherwise, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to the Templar's Zeal DC or take the amount if damage rolled or half as much on a successful save with no additionak effect.
