Phantom

About these subclasses

This is a port of the Phantom Rogue subclass from 5e. It is a little more streamlined, and some aspects of it have been truncated, but I think I kept the overall flavor. Basically, you use the power of ghosts to assist you with their vast array of skills, and also call upon them to scare your enemies.

Spellcast Trait: Finesse

Call upon the powers of the ghostly realms to assist you in your roguish escapades.

Foundation

Ghostly Assistance: After every rest, you may contact a ghost, and ask for their expertise, giving you a new Experience giving you a bonus equal to your Finesse Trait. You may only have one Experience like this at a time, and whenever you gain a new Experience, you get rid of your old Experience. The first time you mark your last Hit Point in a session, you may give up this Experience, and Clear Hit Points equal to your Finesse Trait.

Wails from the Grave: When you make a successful attack, Spend a Hope to force all creatures of your choice within Very Close range of the initial target to make a reaction roll (14). On a failure, they take d6 + your Tier Magic Damage.

Specialization

Ghostly Lesson: You may use one Downtime Activity to give all creatures who rest with you your Ghostly Assistance Experience during a Long Rest, or give a number of creatures equal to your Finesse Trait who rest with you your Ghostly Assistance Experience during a Short Rest. Everyone who gains this Experience keeps it so long as you have it.

Piercing Wails: Your Wails from the Grave feature now extends to Close range, the reaction roll increases to (15), and they now take d8 + your Tier Magic Damage. Additionally, whenever a creature fails their reaction roll, you may Mark a Stress to force that creature to become temporarily vulnerable.

Mastery

Ghostly Alliance: Whenever you use your Experience from your Ghostly Assistance feature and still fail, you may Mark a Stress to succeed. Additionally, when you use the ability to give up the Experience to Clear Hit Points, you may make a Spellcast Roll (20). On a success, you may keep the Experience.

Deafening Wails: Your Wails from the Grave feature extends to Far range, the reaction roll increases to (16), and they now take d10 + your Tier Magic Damage. Additionally, the initial target must also make the reaction roll.
