CRUSADER

Any heavily armored warrior with spellcasting powers and a good cause may call himself a Crusader. Crusaders do well by doing good. They hunt monsters and villains, making themselves rich by plunder as they rid the world of evil.

​

QUICK BUILD

You can make a crusader quickly by following these suggestions. First Willpower should be your highest attribute score, followed by Strength. Second, choose the noble background.

As a crusader, you gain the following class features:

 

HIT POINTS

Hit Dice: 1d10 per crusader level

Hit Points at 1st Level: 10 + your Endurance modifier

Hit Points At higher levels: 1d10 (or 6) + your Endurance modifier per crusader level after 1st.

Armor: Light armor, Medium Armor, Shield

Weapons: Blunt, Hand-to-Hand, Marksman, Short Blade

Tools: None

• (a) scale mail or (b) leather armor

• (a) a light crossbow and 20 bolts or (b) any weapon you are proficient in

• (a) a priest's pack or (b) an explorer's pack

 

DIVINE SENSE

The presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial (aedra), fiend (daedra), or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity. Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hallow spell.

    You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Willpower modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.

 

FIGHTING STYLE

You adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

 

ARCHERY

You gain +2 bonus to your attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

 

DEFENSE

While wearing armor, you gain +1 bonus to AC.

 

DUELING

When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

 

GREAT WEAPON FIGHTING

When you roll a 1 or a 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if it is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

 

PROTECTION

When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is withing 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

 

SPELLCASTING

At 2nd level, you have learned to draw magic through meditation and prayer to cast spells. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the crusader spell list.

 

CANTRIPS

You know three cantrips of your choice from the crusader spell list. You learn additional crusader cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Crusader table.

 

PREPARING AND CASTING SPELLS

The Crusader table shows how much magicka you have to cast your crusader spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend magicka, as noted in the spell's description and the Magicka Cost table found in chapter 10. You regain all expended magicka when you finish a long rest.

    You prepare the list of crusader spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the crusader spell list. When you do so, choose a number of crusader spells equal to your Willpower modifier + your crusader level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you can cast.

    For example, if you are a 3rd-level crusader, you can cast a prepared spell at either 1st or 2nd level. With a Willpower of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it at either 1st or 2nd level. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.

    You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of crusader spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

 

SPELLCASTING ATTRIBUTE

Willpower is your spellcasting ability for your crusader spells. You use your Willpower whenever a crusader spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Willpower modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a crusader spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Willpower modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +

your Willpower modifier

 

RITUAL CASTING

You can cast a crusader spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

    The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st level spell, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st. to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a daedra.

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical effects. As you gain levels in the Crusader class, you may learn additional effects determined by your Devotion.

    When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again.

    Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Willpower Modifier.

    Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity twice between rests, and beginning at 18th level. you can use it three times between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses.

    A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet o f you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

By 3rd level, the divine magic flowing through you makes you immune to disease.

 

DEVOTION

When you reach 3rd level, you devote yourself by following a way of life that defines you as a Crusader. Now you choose how you are sworn to your deity by becoming either a Healer, Knight, Pilgrim, Templar, or Witch Hunter, all detailed at the end of the class description.

DEVOTIONS

Healers are spellcasters who swear solemn oaths to heal the afflicted and cure the diseased. When threatened, they defend themselves with reason and disabling attacks and magic, relying on deadly force only in extremity.

Pilgrims are naturally charismatic and their travels bring fascinating stories to tell. Their journeys can also bring out a nefarious side. The inability to lay down roots and build long lasting relationships can cause a person to grow cold and self-indulgent. Some pilgrims find themselves akin to snake-oil salesmen, profiting off of shams or deceit before moving on to the next mark.

    Additionally, all fiends and undead within 30 feet of you immediately take fire damage equal to half your Crusader level + your Willpower Modifier on a failed save, and half as much on a successful one.

 

POTENT SPELLCASTING

Starting at 7th level, you add your Willpower modifier to the damage you deal with any cantrip.

 

DIVINE SMITE: NECROTIC

Also at 7th level, whenever you use the Divine Smite feature, you can choose to infuse your weapon strikes with necrotic damage instead of lightning.

​

PURITY OF SPIRIT

Beginning at 15th level, you are always under the effects of a protection from evil and good spell.

 

CIRCLE OF PROTECTION

Starting at 20th level, you can use an action to brand the earth with a 15-foot radius rune of protection, imposing disadvantage to all attacks made against you and any of your allies within the circle. The circle lasts until a new Circle of Protection is created.

    Additionally, the first time any fiend or undead creatures enters the circle or starts its turn there during a battle, the creature must succeed a Willpower saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. Attack rolls against a frightened creature have advantage.

    Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
