Onna Musha

Onna-Musha

Some Shrine Maidens fight on the frontlines against evil. Their sworn purpose is to travel the realm eradicating evil with the protection of the Kami.

Gift of the Kami

Starting at 3rd level when you choose this archetype, the Kami bless you with a sacred melee weapon. This weapon may be any melee weapon of your choice. While wielding this weapon, you are considered proficient with it. If the weapon breaks or is lost, you may spend 8 hours in prayer with the Kami to receive another. You may also transfer your sacred powers to another weapon of your choice during this ritual. However, you must be touching the weapon for the full 8 hours. You swap the initial 1d8 your ofuda would deal and instead use the base damage of the specific weapon in its place. Damage beyond this you acrue as you level up will be of the ofuda type you choose. Each attack you make with your weapon will spend an ofuda similar to how you would if you were making a normal ofuda attack. Instead of strength your weapons will use wisdom as its attack modifier, however you do not add your modifier to damage like you would with a normal weapon.

Onna-Bugeisha

Starting at 3rd level you gain access to maneuvers similar to those of the Battle Master Fighter subclass that are fueled by special dice called superiority dice.
Maneuvers. You learn three maneuvers of your choice. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one maneuver per attack. You learn two additional maneuvers of your choice at 7th, 10th, and 15th level. Each time you learn new maneuvers, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one.
Superiority Dice. You have four superiority dice, which are d8s. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain another superiority die at 7th level and one more at 15th level. At 10th level, your superiority dice turn into d10s. At 18th level, they turn into d12s.
Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects. The saving throw is 8 + proficiency + wisdom modifier.

Magical Strikes

Starting at 6th level, your sacred weapon is considered magical for overcoming resistance and immunities. Resistance is negated, and immunioty becomes resistance.

Action Surge

Starting at 6th level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.

The Kami's Cloak

Starting at 11th level, when a creature deals damage to you with a melee attack, you can use two ofuda to rebuke that creature as a reaction using your ofuda. The creature must make a Dexterity Saving throw, on a failed save deal damage equal to one use of your Spiritual Blast damage or half as much on a sucecessful save.

Seal Evil

At 17th level, the kami bless you with the power to seal evil creatures. You can spend 2 ofuda to cast the spell "Banishing Smite" This casting of banishing smite may only effect creatures of the Celestial, Fey, Fiend, or Undead types. If you successfully banish the creature, you may seal it within your sacred weapon. When a creature is sealed within the weapon, it is incapacitated, even if the creature is immune to this condition. There is no limit to the amount of creatures you keep sealed within this weapon. However, the creatures are freed if you die or the sacred weapon breaks.

Unique Battlemaster Maneuvers (Optional)

Sacred Strike. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to invoke a spiritual strike that disrupts magical or fiendish energies within the creature. Add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll. If the creature is an undead, fiend, or fey, it must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is either unable to take reactions or is pushed 10 feet away (your choice) until the end of your next turn.
Warding Sweep. As an action, you can expend one superiority die to perform a sweeping attack in a 10-foot cone before you, using your weapon to create a spiritual ward in the area. All creatures in the cone must make a Dexterity saving throw or take force damage equal to your superiority die and be pushed back 5 feet. The space in the cone remains a spirit ward until the start of your next turn. Hostile creatures must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw to enter the warded area or end their turn at the edge.
Purifying Guard. When an ally within 5 feet of you is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to expend one superiority die and interpose your weapon in a ritualistic guard. Roll the superiority die and add the result to your ally’s AC for that attack. Additionally, if the attacker is an undead or fiend, it takes radiant damage equal to the result of the superiority die.
Ofuda Blade. You can imbue your weapon with the power of ofuda talismans, transforming it into a tool for spiritual purging. When you hit with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to cast a purifying blow that disrupts the target’s focus.

On a failed save, it has disadvantage on all concentration checks and Wisdom saving throws until the end of its next turn.
Spirit Shield. You can invoke an ancient rite to shield your allies. When you or a friendly creature within 10 feet of you is targeted by a spell or effect that requires a saving throw, you can expend one superiority die to create a temporary spiritual shield. Roll the superiority die, and the targeted ally (or yourself) gains a bonus to the saving throw equal to the result. If the source of the spell or effect is an undead or fiend, the shield deflects part of the dark energy, dealing radiant damage equal to the superiority die result back to the attacker.
Divine Flourish. When you take the Attack action, you can expend one superiority die to add a radiant effect to your weapon, enhancing your strikes with spiritual energy. Roll the superiority die, adding it to your attack’s damage roll. Until the start of your next turn, each of your weapon attacks deals an additional 1d4 radiant damage, and you emit dim light in a 10-foot radius.

Creatures that fail by 5 or more are also knocked prone.
Spirit’s Wrath. When you hit with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to curse the target with spiritual energy that disrupts and weakens it.

Divine Reprimand. When an enemy within your melee range misses you with an attack, you can expend one superiority die as a reaction to make an immediate counterattack infused with radiant energy. Roll your superiority die, adding it to the counterattack’s damage roll. Additionally, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you until the end of its next turn.
Lunar Leap. You harness the power of moonlight to perform a supernatural leap, evading attacks and repositioning yourself on the battlefield. When an enemy attacks you, you can use your reaction to expend one superiority die to leap up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Roll the superiority die and add it to your AC against the triggering attack. This movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks.
Radiant Reflection. Your strikes leave a lingering, lunar aura that blinds and disorients your foe. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to envelop the target in a radiant glow. Roll the superiority die and add it to the damage roll.

Lunar Pulse. Channeling the mystical energy of the moon, you create a pulse that disorients nearby foes, making it difficult for them to focus on you. As a bonus action, you can expend one superiority die to create a 5-foot aura of shimmering moonlight around yourself. Roll the superiority die; the result is the duration of the effect in rounds. While this aura is active, all creatures within 5 feet of you have disadvantage on attack rolls against you.
