Protection from Creatures of Enmity
6th level Circle of the Nightstalker feature.
As an action you can select a number of willing creatures [1] equal to your proficiency bonus within 30 feet of you to be protected agaist creatures of enmity.
The protection grants several benefits. Creatures of enmity have disadvantage on attack rolls against the targets. The targets also can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. If the targets are already charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature, the target has advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect.
This effect lasts up to 10 minutes. After you use this feature, you may not use it again until you finish a long rest.
Iron Resolve
10th level Circle of the Nightstalker feature.
You gain proficiency in Charisma saving throws.
Turn Creatures of Enmity
10th level Circle of the Nightstalker feature.
Starting at 10th 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 Wisdom 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 nightstalker uses this feature, he/she may not use it again until he/she finishes a short or long rest.
Nature's Restorative Protection
14th level Circle of the Nightstalker feature.
At 14th level, your ability scores and hit point maximum cannot be reduced by any means. You also cannot suffer levels of exhaustion.
