Fighter: The Revenant - Fight, Die, Repeat [The Heretic's Alchemy]

This subclass was heavily inspired by Dark Souls (I’m sure you can tell)

I wanted to capture that relentless undead vibe where death is just a checkpoint, like respawning at bonfires, except modified to fit in grimdark campaigns for D&D.

Balance-wise, the HP fracturing though it reduces your hit points maximum, actually makes you tankier, because any damage over your death threshold doesn’t carry over, and deadlier, thanks to the buffs you gain in death.

Enjoy!

I think its a cool idea, but the hp split might be a bit rough at low levels. Lets say point buy, and you got a 16 in con while keeping a 16 in your attacking stat. When this class goes online at level 3 if your taking the average you got 27 hp, divided by 4 thats 7 hp per respawn, which is essentially 1 hit per hp bar. Gonna be a bit rough till like level 7 or 8 where you can have 15 to 20 hp per bar.

I’m freaking out I was working on a different death magic fighter, and while largely different, we made basically the same exact 7th level feature

I have a character with 2 fighter levels who was killed and revivified last sesion (3 days ago) and now that i see this subclass it feels like destiny calling me 😂 I'm going to use the previous death as the hook for picking this subclas

I really like the anchor point idea i can see a niche but i testing use of it as a pseudo form of teleportation. where you place it down before an encounter and if you opponent tries to run you can return to it and possibly close the gap, by shanking yourself

I love the vibes some of the features looks a bit underpowered like the temp hp on the gift table (like how does max of 10 temp hp equal to +5 damage on every attack) and the last feature gives you a 10d6 damage per long rest seems a bit low, but other than that it's amazing, sorry if I came out a little judgemental❤

Level 20 should be “Burgentruckung”. The legend of the prophesied hero under the mountain… prob undead. But here it’s just a title and you get something cool out of it
