By covering your face, you can become a medium for the spirits of the four auspicious beasts. These four beasts gift you great abilities.
Cursed Energy
Starting at 1st level, you can harness your negative feelings into a usable source of energy, called Cursed Energy. These feelings can be harnessed into attacks or abilities. The amount of Cursed Energy you possess is based on your class; some classes use a modifier, either Charisma or Wisdom (player’s choice).
Your Cursed Energy DC is 8 + your Cursed Energy ability modifier + proficiency bonus.
You regain all spent Cursed Energy on a long rest.
Auspicious Beast #1: Kaichi
Beginning at 1st level, as an action, by spending 1 Cursed Energy, you summon a yellow drill horn. This horn can be used to make an additional attack dealing 1d6 piercing damage. The damage increases to 1d8 at 3rd level, 1d10 at 6th level, 1d12 at 11th level, and 3d6 at 18th level.
You may only have one Kaichi active at a time.
Auspicious Beast #2: Reiki
At 3rd level, you summon dark water to assist yourself. You can use a bonus action to spend 1 Cursed Energy and double your movement until the end of your next turn. Alternatively, as a reaction, for 2 Cursed Energy, you can add a +5 to your AC.
Auspicious Beast #3: Kirin
Once you reach 6th level, you gain a power to help you last longer in battles. As a bonus action, for each 1 Cursed Energy you spend, you gain 5 Temporary Hit Points, and while you have these Temporary Hit Points, you may ignore exhaustion. However, after activating it, you lose your movement until your next turn.
Auspicious Beast #4: Ryu
When you reach 11th level, you gain the last and most powerful Auspicious Beast. As an action, for 10 Cursed Energy, you unleash the full power of a dragon. When you use this action, you summon Ryu, and you can command Ryu as a bonus action. When you are not commanding Ryu, Ryu takes the Dodge action.
Domain Expansion: Auspicious Beasts’ Realm
Finally, at 18th level, you have honed your Cursed Technique to an extreme. While in this domain, all of your techniques are constantly active without any side effects. Attacks made by Kaichi and Ryu always hit.
