Kryptikos

A knight approaches a building where couple of bandits have

taken refuge. What would normally be a somewhat joyful
occurence, this knight exudes a different prersonality. Their
presence has always been mysterious to those who saw them
and their true purpose here is still unknown. WLooking at
the building, it almost seem as if the knight knew what was

pick the lock on the door, their gloves too big to handle any
tool this effectively. Upon opening the door, the knights sword
glows with black magic, deathly to the touch.
What follows is a battle of one unstoppable force, which
some may call a death knight. Exchanging their own life force
to inflict more damage, while at the same time regaining

Finishing the task, the knight leaves without word,
seemingly seeking nothing more than what happened in that
room. As they gracefuly leave, any onlookers show signs of
partial amnesia, as to who that person was and what they
were doing.

Author Notes:
Magic Items
Given the fact that most classes that have some
kind of spellcasting or abilites that require saving
throws have some items that increase their DC, I
would recommend making an item similar to the
Paladin or Cleric one. Increasing the Ability Save
DC and Spell Save DC is a pretty good upgrade for
most subclasses.

Spell list and Elementbender

If your player would want a diffrent cantrip than
one in the spell list and you feel like it would not
break the game there should not be anything
wrong with changing a few spells around.

Suggestions
Extant Striker

point where you can influence your own martial abilities at a
whim. Your attacks deal additional damage on hit equal to
your Wisdom modifier.
Additionaly you have come to understand your body to
such a point, where you can influence what happens to it. You
can use your action to end one negative effect affecting you or
remove a disease or one point of exhaustion. You can use this
feature number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier,
regaining all uses on a long rest.
Call Upon Nature

Flora Spirit - You gain the ability to speak to plants and you
can use your bonus action on each of your turns to move up
to your movement to the closest hostile creature that you can
see.
Fauna Spirit - You gain the ability to speak to beasts and
you can choose to ignore difficult terrain.
Wrath of Dirt
At 10th level after choosing this archetype you have come to
understand the underlying principles of nature and manifest
them into deadly ground. You gain a 10 ft. radius aura of
difficult terrain centered on yourself. Each creature of your

Additionaly, you can use your Branched Limbs feature
against a creature as a bonus action if it is within your Wrath
of Dirt aura.
Spectral Sight
Prerequisite: 7th level
As an action, you gain the ability to see through solid
objects to a range of 30 feet. Within that range, you have
darkvision if you don’t already have it. This special sight lasts
for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were
concentrating on a spell). During that time, you perceive
objects as ghostly, transparent images.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
