Enmity
3rd level Oath of the Nightstalker feature.
You have enmity with a certain type of creature. Choose one of the following types: aberrations, celestials, constructs, dragons, fey, fiends, shapechangers, or undead. These are creatures of enmity.
You also learn to speak, read, and write one of the following languages:
- redirect: Template:5xlang,
- redirect: Template:5xlang,
- redirect: Template:5xlang,
- redirect: Template:5xlang,
- redirect: Template:5xlang, or
- redirect: Template:5xlang.
You may gain enmity with an additional type every 5th level hereafter (8th, 13th, and 18th). You do not gain additional languages at these levels.
Esoteric Knowledge
3rd level Oath of the Nightstalker feature.
Your esoteric knowledge grants you advantage on Intelligence and Wisdom skill checks that are related to creatures of enmity.
Smite of Enmity
7th level Oath of the Nightstalker feature.
You hit a creature of enmity with a melee attack on your turn, you may choose to deal extra radiant damage equal to your proficiency bonus. This feature may be used only once per turn.
Iron Resolve
11th level Oath of the Nightstalker feature.
You gain proficiency in Intelligence saving throws.
Turn Creatures of Enmity
15th level Oath of the Nightstalker feature.
Starting at 15th you gain the ability to turn creatures of enmity. As an action, you present your holy symbol or item that is a bane to the creature (wolf's bane, cold iron, silver, etc.) and verbally censure the creature of enmity. Each creature of enmity that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned. This lasts for 1 minute, or until it takes any damage.
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 of 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.
Once a nightstalker uses this feature, he/she may not use it again until he/she finishes a short or long rest.
Refuse to Die
20th level Oath of the Nightstalker feature.
If you are reduced to 0 hit points by an attack or spell, you are reduced to 1 hit point instead. This lasts until the end of the nightstalker's next turn and cannot be reduced below 1. At the end of the nightstalker's next turn, you loose 1 hit point. Once this feature is used, it may not be used again until a long rest has been completed.
