Covenant of the Blightspeaker
Divine wrath can manifest as punishing blasts of radiant light, as fire from the heavens, or as thunder and lightning that smite the gods’ foes. Sometimes, though, the gods’ anger is manifested in plagues and curses upon the wicked. Even good deities can resort to extreme methods to purge the world of corruption.
As a blightspeaker, you wield such extreme methods in your god’s name. Like an angel of death, you wield the scythe of necrotic power and harvest life from your enemies to fuel your own strength. To the common folk, you are a frightful presence, a grim reminder of your god’s darker side. To your enemies, you are a terror, a manifestation of the judgment that has been pronounced upon them and of the punishment that awaits.
As a bonus action, you speak a horrid divine word, causing creatures around you to wilt. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw, gain vulnerability to radiant and necrotic damage until the end of your next turn. In addition, all damage you deal to that creature becomes your choice of radiant or necrotic until the end of your next turn.
You learn to sap the anger and wrath of your foes. Whenever you hit a creature with a critical hit, you gain hit points equal to 5 + your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus.
Whenever a creature passes a saving throw against a spell you cast or ongoing damage caused by you, you can immediately deal 10 necrotic damage to that creature.
You gain the full power of your pantheon’s fury and wrath. Whenever you deal necrotic damage to a creature with a spell attack or from them failing a saving throw, each creature of your choice within 20 feet of that creature takes half that much necrotic damage.
