[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 6627167, member: 63508"] It is a sad loss. That's why I have a Slayer class in my game.

You can deal this extra damage only once per turn. [*]Death Attack and Critical Defense: [LIST=1] [*]Death Attack 1d12: Beginning at the 2nd level, when you use the Action action with a weapon attack on your turn, you can make a weapon attack as a bonus action. This bonus attack deals an extra 1d12 damage and the damage increases to 2d12 at level 7 and 3d12 at level 12 and 4d12 at level 17. While wielfing a weapon in both hand, you may use your weapon in your second hand for this attack and if you do you have a +2 bonus to the attack roll. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before doing it again. [*]Critical Defense: At the 2nd level, when you score a critical hit or hit a surprised enemy, the euphoria of carnage grants you resistance to all damage until the end of your next turn.

[/LIST] [*]The Reaper's Ears: You not only know death, you speak its language. You recognize the words "kill" "death" "murder", "execute", and "die" in any language when spoken. You cannot say these words until you hear them or are taught them if you do not know these languages. [/LIST] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
