Zoldyck Clan

“I was skeptical of hiring the man at first since we’d never heard of em’, and the price was
insanely expensive. After all, he didn’t even bother to listen in on the plan one bit and spent
the whole night playing games. But my doubts vanished once our target launched an ambush
on us with a group of bandits. No sooner did our target and the bandits clear the bushes
before they all went silent and stopped in their tracks as if frozen. The silver-haired assassin
calmly stood up, walked away, and thanked us for the business as I began to run after em’ to
tell em’ he needed to do his job. Suddenly, all the attackers dropped dead with slashes through
their throats that even the sharpest blades couldn’t replicate. I’ve never seen a kill more
efficient.”- Mercenary during the 3rd War.

Unparalleled Efficiency .

In a secluded area of the world only known to the members themselves, there exists a clan of
expert assassins known as the Zoldyck Clan. Shrouded in secrecy, the one thing known about
this family worldwide is they aren’t enemies you’d want to make, they aren’t cheap, and if you
end up catching a high price on your head, a Zoldyck is sure to find you soon…

Zoldyck Features

Living Weapon: You’ve been taught how to make your body a weapon itself.
Beginning at 1st level, the damage die for your unarmed strikes becomes 1d4.
The damage die becomes 1d6 at 3rd level, 1d8 at 7th level, 1d10 at 11th level,
1d12 at 15th level, and 2d6 at 18th level. At the beginning of your turn, you can
choose for your unarmed damage to be bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing
damage.
If your unarmed damage die is already higher than this when you reach the
required level, you instead add +1 to your unarmed damage rolls.

Phantom Step: An old saying among the Zoldyck’s is “If I can see them, they’re
already dead”. At 1st level, you can spend any amount of your movement on
your turn to add to the range of a melee attack. For example, if you have 20
movement left on your turn and choose to add that to the range of a Taijutsu
that requires an attack roll, that Taijutsu now has +20 to its range. If you are
under the effects of a dash, the extra movement granted can also be used for
this.

Alternatively, you can perform a silent waltz and spend your movement to add
+2 to a Dexterity-based check for every 15 feet of movement spent.

Quick Learner: Your training has sharpened your mind as well as your body.
Beginning at 3rd level, choose between Taijutsu, Genjutsu, or Ninjutsu. You
reduce the downtime needed to learn jutsu and feats of that type by 2 weeks to
a minimum of 1. This increases to 3 weeks at 7th level and to 4 weeks at 11th
level.

Additionally, twice per rest when making a skill check you are proficient in, you
can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

Living Weapon V2: As you progress, you make yourself even more deadly. At
3rd level, choose between the Multiattack, Disarm, Deadly, Lethal, Trip, or
Grapple properties. Your unarmed strikes gain the chosen property and
increase their critical threat range by +1.
Additionally, you have advantage on checks and saving throws against being
poisoned, envenomed, or diseased by a D-Rank Feature or Jutsu. This increases
to C-Rank at the 7th level, B-Rank at 11th level, and A-Rank at 15th level.

White-Haired Shadow: A trained Zoldyck is a blur of movement to even the

most trained eye. Beginning at 7th level, once per round when you make a
melee attack and there is cover or a structure within 30 feet of you, you can
make a Stealth check as a reaction. On a success, you may teleport in a flash of
movement behind the cover or structure, and you are hidden from the creature.
Attacking, or breaking stealth while hidden causes you to become revealed as
normal.

Quick Learner V2: It takes only a short time for a Zoldyck to master any
chosen skill. Beginning at 11th level, you gain a feat associated with one of the 3
types (Taijutsu, Genjutsu, or Ninjutsu) that you picked at 3rd level. Additionally,
your Save DC associated with that type is increased by +1.

Inhuman Durability: The lethal damage a Zoldyck Assassin can sustain makes
people question whether they are even human. At 15th level, you can ignore the
negative effects of up to 2 ranks of exhaustion during combat. However, you
still suffer the effects outside of combat.

Additionally, you can treat a critical hit against you as a normal hit once per
rest.
