Primal Path - Mahou Shoujo
The exact nature of a mahou shoujo - a magical girl - remains shrouded in mystery. From whom does this power originate? Some suggest a god. Some suggest the hells. Some suggest the inherent goodness in a mortal's heart. Regardless of where the power originates, many young women (and some men) have chosen or been chosen to step into the shoes of the mahou shoujo and fight for all things just and right. Accompanied by a loyal familiar and the support of their friends, a mahou shoujo seeks to fight evil and protect the things that are important to them.
Those who fight alongside a mahou shoujo will find them taking centre stage, inspiring their companions and bringing everyone closer together. Though not all mahou shoujo are the bubbly and friendly type, there is no doubt that their mere presence is enough to create everylasting bonds of friendship.
Magical Transformation
When you dedicate yourself to the path of the Mahou Shoujo, your rage's nature changes to transform your body more completely. Magic wraps around your body to change your appearance, including your equipment, to that of a mahou shoujo.
From 3rd level when you rage, you transform into your mahou shoujo form. You can use your charisma modifier instead of Strength for attack and damage rolls. You add your rage damage to these attacks and can use your Reckless Attack feature with them as normal. You also add your Charisma modifier for any Strength checks and saving throws.
In addition, your pure heart allows you to shield yourself from any attacks. While your magical transformation is active you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier at the start of your turns.
Magical Familiar
A mahou shoujo is nothing without their loyal companion. At 3rd level you gain the ability to cast the Find Familiar spell as a ritual without material components. The creature summoned is otherwise the same as a normal familiar, but it's intelligence is set to 10, and it speaks one language you know of your choice. Unlike a normal Familiar, your Magical Familiar cannot change form, instead having a set choice which you pick when you first summon it.
In addition while your magical familiar is within 100 feet of you you gain proficiency in one skill, and resistance to one damage type while in your mahou shoujo form, as determined by the familiar you chose as listed below.
| Familiar Form | Skill Proficiency | Damage Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Bat | Perception | Necrotic |
| Cat | Stealth | Psychic |
| Crab | Athletics | Cold |
| Frog/Toad | Medicine | Poison |
| Hawk | Survival | Thunder |
| Lizard | Animal Handling | Fire |
| Octopus | Sleight of Hand | Force |
| Owl | Perception | Cold |
| Poisonous Snake | Intimidation | Poison |
| Fish | Insight | Acid |
| Rat | Deception | Fire |
| Raven | Persuasion | Radiant |
| Sea Horse | Nature | Psychic |
| Spider | Stealth | Poison |
| Weasel | Investigation | Thunder |
Inspiring Transformation
Whenever you transform your allies are heartened to stand beside you. From 6th level any friendly creatures who can see you when you activate your rage (except you) gain an Inspiration dice. This dice must be used before the end of your next turn, or it is lost.
Magical Strike
Mahou shoujo are so magical that they can change the very nature of their attacks. When you reach 6th level in this class you choose a damage type from the following: fire, cold, lightning and thunder. Instead of dealing the normal damage type when you hit with an attack, you can make your weapon deal your chosen damage type instead.
At 11th level, you also deal an additional 1d8 of the chosen damage type or radiant damage (your choice) on all successful weapon attacks.
Power of Friendship
A mahou shoujo is nothing without their loyal friends. From 10th level when you complete a long rest you can designate a number of creatures equal to your charisma modifier to share in the bonds of your friendship. When two such bonded creatures are adjacent to one another, they both gain +1d4 to all attack rolls and saving throws that they make.
At 15th level, your friends can now gain this benefit whenever they are within 10' of another friend, instead of needing to be adjacent to one another.
In addition, when one of your friends is attacked while you are adjacent to them, you can use your Reaction to redirect all attacks made during the current turn to yourself, taking the hits in your friend's place.
Never Give Up
The true strength of a mahou shoujo is an indomitable spirit, to fight against impossible odds. From 14th level you gain immunity to the Frightened condition. In addition when you are reduced to 0HP (after resolving Relentless Rage) you do not fall unconscious, and become immune to all damage. This effect expires at the end of your next turn. Once you have gained this damage immunity once, you cannot do so again until you have completed a short rest.
Magical Champion
Replaces Primal Champion
At 20th level, you embody the power of the magical girl. Your Charisma and Constitution scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24.
