Deathknight

The sound of metal scraping against metal rings throughout the chamber as a powerful figure steps over the bodies of the dead. He sinks his massive, skull-adorned blade into the body of an orc, and a pale, ghostly smoke rises from the corpse, coils around the blade, and finally settles into a harsh symbol carved into its surface.

Blood flies as an elf moves relentlessly across the battlefield, slaying foes one after another with her twin blades, seemingly impervious to the attacks of her enemies. A massive beast rears up in front of her, a challenge even the mightiest of warriors would shrink before, but the elf only grins as she drives headlong into what must be certain doom.

Dripping water forms into icicles as they run down the shoulders of a heavily armored dwarf. The blizzard rages about him unnoticed. A silver-scaled dragon crashes into a nearby snowbank, its wings tattered by arrows and driving hail. It raises its head to stare the dwarf in the face, moments before his axe drives its way deep into its skull.

Whatever their original calling, all death knights now serve the powers of death and destruction. Death knights are ruthless and practical warriors, meting out death without mercy to any who stand in their way.

Champions of the Lich King

Years after the destruction of Draenor, the immensely powerful Lich King created a new breed of death knights: malevolent, rune-wielding warriors of the Scourge. The first and greatest of these was the Lich King's chosen champion, Prince Arthas Menethil, once a mighty paladin of the Silver Hand who sacrificed his soul to claim the runeblade Frostmourne in a desperate bid to save his people. The rest are primarily made up of other fallen paladins whose souls were twisted and bound to the will of the Frozen Throne.

Unlike Gul'dan's death knights, these dark champions possess unholy strength; however, they do not possess free will and their minds are inexorably entwined with and dominated by the Lich King's vast consciousness. Despite the potential loss of free will, some powerful mortals are intrigued by the promise of immortality and pledge their souls freely into the Lich King's service to achieve it. Baron Rivendare is an example of this.

In the years since Arthas shattered the Frozen Throne and merged with the Lich King, the power and fury of the death knights has only grown. Now these unrelenting crusaders of the damned eagerly await the Lich King's command to unleash their fury on Azeroth once again. Unlike death knights of the Old Horde, the Scourge's death knights are not limited to their use of ranged spell casting abilities. In addition, these tireless death knights are considerably stronger, faster, and more agile than they were in life. However, both generations are equally destructive and terrifying to engage in the field of battle

The Ebon Blade

A new group of death knights, the Death knights of Acherus, was later created by the Lich King to garrison the necropolis of Acherus: The Ebon Hold for the ultimate purpose of assaulting Light's Hope Chapel and destroying the Argent Dawn. In the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, these death knights are freed from the will of the Lich King and ally themselves with their former factions. Working closely under the guiding blade of Highlord Darion Mograine and the bolstered Argent Crusade, the newly-freed death knights have begun their march to Northrend.

The Knights of the Ebon Blade is a faction consisting of the renegade death knights that broke free of the Lich King's control after the battle of Light's Hope Chapel (in other words, player-created death knights). Led by Highlord Darion Mograine, the Knights of the Ebon Blade have allied themselves with the Alliance and the Horde with the help of Highlord Tirion Fordring of the Knights of the Silver Hand, and have pledged to do their part in defeating their former master, the Lich King. Their main base is Acherus: The Ebon Hold, taken from the Scourge after breaking free. It should be noted that the Knights of the Ebon Blade are not a separate player faction such as the Alliance and Horde. For the purposes of gameplay, player-created death knights still belong to either the Alliance or Horde depending on their race/faction.

• (a) five javelins or (b) any simple melee weapon
• (a) an explorer’s pack
• Chain mail

Rune Magic

As a death knight, you can use rune magic, allowing you to channel the power of death into powerful, often destructive spells. See chapter 10 of the Player’s Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting.

Runes

The Death Knight table shows how many runes you can have filled with power at any given time. If you attempt to fill a rune with power beyond this limit, one of your already filled runes is expended. To cast one of your death knight spells, you must expend the power stored within a rune. The Death Knight table shows what level spell you cast when you use a rune in this way. Spells Known At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the death knight spell list. The Spells Known column of the Death Knight table shows when you learn more death knight spells of your choice. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Rune Level column for your level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the death knight spells you know and replace it with another spell from the death knight spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Strength is your spellcasting ability for your death knight spells, since the power derives from your ability to manifest your will over the latent powers of death and destruction that fill you and the world around you. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a death knight spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use your rune weapon as a spellcasting focus for your death knight spells.

Runic Weapon

All death knights learn the art of rune carving, allowing them to carve mystic runes into their weapons. Carving a rune into a weapon takes one hour. Once a rune has been carved, you can fill it with power over the course of an hour, which you can do during a short rest. You must be touching the weapon that the rune is carved into during this time, and you can only fill one rune with power at a time. Additionally, all of your runes are filled with power when you finish a long rest. Once a rune has been filled with power, you can then later use that rune to cast spells. In addition, any weapon with a power-filled rune carved into it counts as a magic weapon for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Defense

While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Dueling

When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can re-roll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Two-Weapon Fighting

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Death Presence

At 3rd level, you gain one of the following presence of death of your choice. You may choose from Blood, Frost, or Unholy, each of them have there own unique characteristics. From Blood's ability to sustain a lot of damage though self healing, Frost's ability to deal an impressive amount of damage while being durable and Unholy which relies on your control over a undead ghoul.

Ability Score improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Horn of Winter

Beginning at 7th level, you can carve special runes into a horn, granting it special powers that activate when you blow on it. Creating a horn of winter takes 4 hours.
Once you have created a horn of winter, you can then use your action to blow on it, granting temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier to you and all friendly creatures that can hear it. As long as they have these hit points, those creatures have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Non-friendly creatures that hear the horn must make a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the start of your next turn. The save DC for this is the same as for your spells. Once you have used the horn, the power in its runes are depleted and can only be restored during a long rest. You cannot have more than one horn filled with power at any given time.

Power of the Grave

At 9th level, your mastery over death gives you some of the abilities of undead creatures. You gain Resistance to Poison and Necrotic damages.

Forceful Deflection

Beginning at 10th level, your AC is increased by 1 as long as you are wielding a rune weapon and not using a shield.

Energize Rune Weapon

Starting at 14th level, when you attempt to refill a rune on a short rest you may refill two instead of one .

Master of Death

At level 20, your rune weapon(s) grow in strength. When you die, your soul naturally seeks out your rune weapon (if you have more than one weapon carved with runes, it seeks out the closest) and hides inside of it, rather than moving on to the afterlife. While hidden this way, you cannot see, hear, speak, or take any actions. You are dimly aware of living creatures within 100 feet of you, but cannot discern anything about them. When a creature touches your sword, you can cast the Dominate Person, Beast, or Monster (as appropriate) spell targeting them. The spell has a duration of 8 hours when cast this way. If the target breaks free of your spell, you can’t cast it on them again within the next 24 hours. If the creature fails to break free from your domination before the spell’s duration ends, they must make a final Charisma saving throw against your Rune power save DC. If they fail, their soul is forcibly removed from their body, and yours leaves your sword to take its place. You use the new body’s base Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores, and any racial statistics, but retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores and all of your class levels, including any ability score increases or feats you gained.

Frost Aspect

When a creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 2d10 cold damage, falls prone and is restrained until the start of your next turn. On a successful save, it takes half damage and no other effects. You are immune to the effects of the ability.

Can be used once per long rest.

Unholy Aspect

The aspect of unholy focuses on the physical remains of death, the flesh and bones left to rot after the spirit has left, and uses them to further their quest for power.

This spell may also be used on any undead target whose challenge rating is equal or lower that 1/4, the target must make a Constitution save or be destroyed. The CR increases as you level to 1 at level 8, 2 at level 11, 3 at level 14, and finally 4 at level 17.

Chapter 4: Spells

This chapter describes the most common spells in the world of Azeroth . The chapter begins with the spell lists of the warlock. The remainder contains spell descriptions, presented in alphabetical order by the name of the spell.

Please be aware if spells sound similar to phb they probably are just renamed as they fit thematically into the spell list. So if used in conjunction with the stuff on the phb just be aware of this.

Necromancy

Necromancers are macabre manipulators of life and death. Necromancy is similar to the magics used by warlocks, however, instead focuses on the study of death rather than demonology. They are capable of reviving living creatures from death to do their bidding as undead servants.
