FEAT: Dominating Presence
Whenever people are around you, they feel a dominant and empowering aura. Because of this, many people tend to be intimidated by you and avoid as much as possible against you. However, your presence can also be used to your advantage; Clashing information is easier because people crack under pressure or give you what you want more easily. It also allows you to read people more easily when it comes to their privacy, taking a more observant look when it comes to feeling their motivations. For those who are less imposing in nature, they somehow feel protected as if they were a powerful lioness so they feel more compelled to obey it. As such you gain advantage on Persuasion & Insight checks.

Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and perhaps even your appearance all mark you as foreign.

FEAT: Burden of Life
Due to your vow, you are expected to cure the ill, regardless of morals or prejudice, even if they are your enemy. It is considered a horrid evil to intentionally kill a doctor for no reason. As such, intelligent enemies are less likely to target you, (Provided they are not frighteningly evil in a manner that would be inappropriate for younger audiences) and even your enemy patients will at least not attack immediately while under your care. What happens after they leave your care...? Well you can't decide their fate. Restored individuals may be grateful, or feel some form of life-debt to you. Enemies may repay you by specifically choosing not to kill you, or they may give free information, or a scout you once saved may turn a blind eye to your presence.
Provided you stay true to your vow, (as best as you can) you can make use of any hospital or medical facility, (typically located in churches, noble estates, universities, and other places of higher learning) as temporary residence for yourself, your patient(s), and your companions if there is room for them.

In addition to attacking during each of your turns, it can perform a few simple commands like fetching a given object, holding open a door, or flipping a switch. Other tasks can be negotiated with the DM.
You and your construct are bound emotionally to each other. If you are damaged, the defender stops whatever action it is doing to come to your aid and uses its reaction to either heal you or bite your attacker.

FEAT: Lucky
You have 3 luck points. Whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can spend one luck point to roll an additional d20. You can choose to spend one of your luck points after you roll the die, but before the outcome is determined. You choose which of the d20s is used for the attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.
You can also spend one luck point when an attack roll is made against you. Roll a d20, and then choose whether the attack uses the attacker’s roll or yours. If more than one creature spends a luck point to influence the outcome of a roll, the points cancel each other out; no additional dice are rolled.

The target then must make a mental saving throw (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma, your choice) against a DC of 10 + your WIS modifier and takes 4d6 psychic damage. Upon a success, they take half damage and know someone tried to mess with their mind. Upon a failure, they have that ability score reduced by 4. You may do this a total amount of times equal to your Wisdom ability score modifier. You regain all uses after finishing a long rest. This feature cannot lower a creature's Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score below 6. You can target the same creature after 10 days have passed.
FEAT: Insightful Mind
You have honed your mind to start to see glimpses of the future. You may, as an action, make a Wisdom (Insight) check against a creature of your choice, the DC being their passive Charisma (Deception) (10 + Charisma (Deception) modifier). Upon a success, you gain insight into what that creature might do, but it is blurry. You can only see into the future for 1 minute, and it requires concentration, as if you were concentrating on a spell. You may do this a number of time equal to half your proficiency score, rounded down, this ability recharges every long rest. The duration of your glimpse into the future increases by one minute for every Tier.
For the duration, the following applies: You have advantage on attack rolls against the target, and you have advantage on saving throws caused by them. The target has disadvantage on saving throws caused by you and on attack rolls against you.

FEAT: Puppy Dog Eyes
Your eyes become more beautiful then the night sky, and it is almost impossible to look away from them! As an action, you may lock eyes with a creature you can see and that can see you. That creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature follows your every command for 1 minute. The creature must be able to understand you to follow the commands, otherwise it will only seek to protect itself for the duration. A creature that is blind or is immune to being charmed is immune to this effect. At 6th tier, the duration increases to 10 minutes. At 8th, it increases to 1 hour, and at 10th, the duration increases to 8 hours.
FEAT: Secretary
Richlings hardly do menial tasks for themselves, which is why they have a secretary. You begin play with a Tier One secretary in your servitude who is a paid employee (more accurately, who is indebted to serve). Regardless, this secretary is loyal to the richling, as long as they are fed and cared for. A 1st-tier richling’s secretary is completely typical for its kind, with exceptions as noted below. As an richling advances in level, the secretary’s power increases as shown on the table bellow: The Secretary.
If you release your secretary from service, you may gain a new one by filling the requisite acquisition forms requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of paperwork. This paperwork can also replace a secretary that has perished. This process must be completed in an urban environment with available laborers.

Traits
Evasion: If a secretary is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Dexterity saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw.
Bodyguard (available at Tier 3): Whenever her employer would be subject to an attack, effect or special ability, if the secretary is adjacent and not also targeted by this effect she may jump in front of her employer to take the hit herself as an reaction.
Upgraded Model (available at Tier 5): By virtue of a "Executive Support Magazine" subscription and dubious coffee trips, a secretary can gain an Ability Score Increase. 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 30 using this feature. If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat. The upgrading process takes two weeks, must be done in large city, and costs training at a Value of 15.
Loyal (available at Tier 7): a secretary gains a +4 morale bonus on Wisdom saves against attempts to charm, intimidate, and persuade them.
Improved Evasion (available at Tier 9): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Dexterity saving throw for half damage, a secretary takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and only half damage if the saving throw fails.
Loyal Beyond Reason (available at Tier 10): If the secretary is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by an effect that otherwise leaves her body intact, she can remain conscious and continue to act for 1 more round before dying. She can use this ability even if her hit point total is -10 or lower. If her body is somehow destroyed before her next action (such as by disintegrate), then she cannot act. If she receives healing that leaves her with more than -10 hit points, she survives (or falls unconscious, as appropriate to her new hit point total) when she stops using this ability. Otherwise, death overtakes her at the end of the next round.
Actions

FEAT: Certain Death
As you feel the cold approach of death, your adrenaline pumps, your focus narrows, and you both know one of you won't be coming out of this alive. When you willingly try to attack a target on your turn, you may begin dueling with them as a bonus action. All subsequent melee and ranged attacks, including targeted effect attacks, you make against a target you are dueling deal an extra 1d6 in damage. If you are below 1/3 of your maximum health, any enemy you are dueling takes double the bonus dueling damage from your attacks, they cannot gain advantage against you, and your attacks against them cannot be at a disadvantage. Neither your target nor you may take reactions against any targets but each other. Should the enemy you're dueling die or begin dying, dueling immediately ends, you regain HP equal to 2 x your Tier, and if you were the one that put them into that state, you regain an additional 5 HP.
FEAT: Slippery as an Eel
If you take damage from a melee attack, as a reaction you may allow yourself to be flung backwards, thereby lessening the impact. If you make an Acrobatics check equal to or greater than the damage inflicted, you suffer only half the damage, on a natural 20 you dodge completely. You’re moved 5 feet away from the source of damage.

FEAT: Reverse Psychologist
You are no longer open to manipulation. You are immune to being Charmed, and anyone trying to persuade, deceive, or intimidate you must do so with disadvantage. You can inspire others with the cunning use of reverse psychology. To do so, you use a Bonus Action on Your Turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Manipulative Inspiration die, a d8.
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, Attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls The D20 before deciding to use the Manipulative Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Manipulative Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Manipulative Inspiration die at a time.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

The smoke spreads around corners and it's area is heavily obscured. It lasts until the start of your next turn or until a wind of moderate or greater speed disperses it. It is up to the DM to determine whether the wind is strong enough.
During a short or long rest, you may craft one Smoke Bomb, and they are considered to weigh 0 lb in your inventory. You can only have a number of Smoke Bombs equal to your Charisma modifier + 1 (minimum 1) at a time. These Smoke Bombs can only be used by you and cannot be sold.

- Starting at 5th Tier, you have managed to add sleeping gas into your smoke bombs. Any creature that starts their turn, or enters the area of the smoke bomb must succeed a Constitution Saving Throw with a DC of 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + Charisma Modifier. On a failed save, they fall unconscious for 1d4 turns. The sleeper wakes up if they take damage or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. When making a Smoke Bomb, you must spend an additional 5gp to add sleeping gas to it. Creatures that hold their breath before entering the smoke are unaffected.
FEAT: Appraisal
You have trained your eyes to see the true value of objects and people with your eyes. You can use an action to target a creature or object to appraise them. If you appraise a creature, you know the creature type, senses, vulnerabilities, damage resistances, and damage immunities of that creature. If you appraise an object, you know the physical properties of that object (i.e. material) as well as whether or not that object is trapped or contaminated.

- Starting at 3rd Tier, if you appraise a creature, you also know the creatures' current hit points and armor class.
- Starting at 5th Tier, while appraising a creature, you know the target's original form if the target creature takes on a different form (i.e transformed by magic or the Druid’s Wild Shape feature), as well as any superpowers, diseases, or conditions that they have.
- Starting at 7th Tier, if you have appraised a creature or object during your turn, you gain 20 feet of Truesight until the start of your next turn.
FEAT: Stolen Identity
After appraising a creature with the same size and creature type as you, you know everything you need to know to produce a perfect disguise in their image. After one minute, you can create a disguise that changes your appearance and voice to match that creature. You are indiscernible to the casual observer but if a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) checks you make to avoid detection. However, your ability scores, proficiencies, Hit Points, and AC remain the same as before you entered the disguise and you cannot use any class features, racial traits, or feats while you are in this disguise. If you take piercing or slashing damage, the disguise is ripped and you appear in your costume. Alternatively, you can use a free action to tear off your disguise, appearing in your costume instead.

If you are not hit by a single target weapon or feature that deals you damage by the target creature for the number of turns equal to the amount of Wealth spent, you profit twice the Wealth you spent. (There must be at least 2 hostile creatures present to use this feature.) You may use this feature any number of times per day, but may only gain 6 Wealth per day from this feature.
FEAT: Negotiate Damage
You’ve learned how to make, arguably, the most difficult deals; negotiations. After taking damage, you can expend your reaction to attempt to lessen the damage. You make a Persuasion check and the creature that damaged you makes an Insight or Intelligence check. If the source of the damage that caused negotiate damage is not from a creature, such as a trap or inanimate object, they automatically, and critically, succeed their Insight or Intelligence check. If your Persuasion check is higher than the creature's Insight or Intelligence check, the damage dealt to you is halved. If the creature's Intelligence or Insight check is higher than your Persuasion check, you are dealt full damage.
You can expend funds as a part of the reaction to grant yourself advantage on your Persuasion check. The value of funds you must expend is equal to the creature’s CR or level. Treat this as any other purchase subject to compromsing Wealth as descibed in the Wealth and Bartering article.
You can use this ability an amount of times equal to your Charisma modifier, after which you must take a long rest in order to do so again.
FEAT: Don't Tell Me the Odds

Roll your die, if you win you may add the odds modifier to your next damage roll. If you loose you must subtract the odds modifier from your next damage roll.
You may choose a d10 at Tier 3, a d12 at Tier 5, and a d20 at Tier 7.

Witch
FEAT: Witchcraft
For centuries the art of witchcraft has been viewed as superstition. But you know better. Witchcraft can be a terrifying thing to witness. A hexer controls many dark and fearsome spells, to destroy and control those that oppose them. But, surprisingly, they are also able to heal, although that is in and on itself a scary process, as they know spells that siphon the health of others and transfer it to another, or gift creatures a false sense of health, when truly they are only ignoring the pain and suffering in their bodies.
A hexer is called that for their ability to cast, and control terrible curses on their enemies. They have a pool of dark arcane energy surging through their blood, and by spilling their blood they can cast hexes. A creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC (CHA, INT or WIS), on a failure the targeted creature becomes afflicted by your hex. A creature can only be affected by one hex at a time, but you can have as many creatures affected by hexes as you can, based on how many hex points you have.
Hex Points
| Tier | Number of Hexes Known | Hex Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 4 |
| 2 | 4 | 4 |
| 3 | 5 | 6 |
| 4 | 6 | 6 |
| 5 | 7 | 6 |
| 6 | 8 | 7 |
| 7 | 9 | 7 |
| 8 | 10 | 8 |
| 9 | 11 | 9 |
| 10 | 12 | 10 |
You may regain your hex points by performing a ritual of some sort (ex. sacrifice, equinox ritual, or similar ritual based on your religion/pantheon.) This ritual may be completed over a long rest and requires a full uninterupted period of 8 hours and access to any materials necessary.

FEAT: Witch Talisman
You choose a witch talisman. Your witch talisman counts as an arcane focus for the purpose of casting witch spells and hexes. A talisman is a highly personal item that the witch has imbued with a part of their soul, acting as a channel to the ambient magical energies of the universe.
Talismans, regardless of type, have half the amount of health that you do and an AC of 20. They can only be hit if targeted specifically and cannot be included in areas of effect. If a talisman is destroyed, a witch loses their spellcasting abilities and any ongoing hexes they cast immediately end. Witch's also take 50% of their maximum health in damage when a talisman is destroyed. A talisman is restored to full hit points and automatically created anew if destroyed after the witch takes a long rest.
Your choice of talisman also gives you a special ability associated with it, based on its type as listed below. This choice cannot be changed.
- Amulet: Your talisman is a magical amulet with a design unique and iconic to you. While you wear it you gain a +1 bonus to your AC. (Examples: A lucky coin, a shiny button that replaces a button on anything you wear, a scarab beetle necklace, a silver belt buckle, a four leaf clover that never wilts, a bone pentacle.)
- Athame: Your talisman is an ornate or rustic magical weapon. Typically this weapon takes the form of a dagger, short sword or other onehanded blade, but could also be a spear, hammer, or any other melee weapon. You are proficient in the use of your athame and it deals 1d6 bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, chosen when you select this class feature. Attacks with your athame use your spell attack bonus on attack rolls and add your Intelligence modifier on damage rolls. Over the course of a long rest, you can choose to desummon your athame and resummon it as a different type of melee weapon. (Examples: A black glass dagger, a silver longsword, a stone handaxe, a bone spear, a gleaming glove that produces a deadly blade, a barbed scourge.)
- Headpiece: Your talisman is a hat, pendant, barrette, hairband, headband or head piece of some sort with a design unique to yourself, generally with a jewel or bone centerpiece. While you wear it you gain proficiency in any 2 skills, chosen when you select this class feature. (Examples: A pointed, conical hat. A gem that hangs from a chain in the center of the forehead. A butterfly barrette. A beautiful sapphire pin.)
- Focus: Your talisman is a magic wand, broom, staff, crystal, tome or rod with a design unique to you. While you wield it your hex damage increases by one die and your spell DC increases by 1. (Examples: A carved wand of bone, a twined ivy bracelet, a crystal ball that floats above the hand, a tome of fairy tales and poems, a staff made from a single ancient oak branch, a gnarled broom, a giant pestle.)
- Ring: Your talisman is a ring of power with a unique design. It could be chased metal, fine wire with a jewel or bone setting, a thick band, a wedding ring, a cage ring, a claw ring or any other finger adornment. While you wear your ring you can speak, read, and understand the following alphabets and languages, Latin, Honorian Alphabet, Theban Alphabet, Hymmnos, 2 of your choice.
When a witch dies, their talisman is destroyed in a spectacular display of magical power. It cracks, streams of light pouring from it until it shatters and explodes in a cloud of glittering dust, elemental energy, shrapnel and arcane force. One piece of it always remains: the burned husk of a witch’s broom, the blackened crystal from a gorgeous necklace, the broken hilt of a cruel knife.
