Unique Chosen Class

Overview

A rare caster marked by an unusual affinity for holy energy. Their abilities strike with blinding force, but their bodies struggle to contain the power.

The Chosen channels concentrated bursts of light that behave like focused energy beams, luminous detonations, or shimmering pulses. Their techniques are fast, intense, and overwhelming — but their bodies are fragile, and the strain of channeling such power often shows in subtle ways.

They excel at: Long-range attacks, Burst damage, Light-based utility, Group healing through luminous resonance, Rapid-fire Rite use

⚔️ Unique Class Mechanic

Holy Focus

When the Chosen is undisturbed, their power sharpens.

If you took no damage since your last turn, you gain Focus.

Focus grants:

  • +2 to your next Rite Test

  • and your next damaging Rite gains +1d6 radiant.

If you take damage, you lose Focus immediately. One ally of your choice within 25ft gets disadvantage on their next Attack or Rite roll.
