Avenger Racket

Trained to be a precise but brutal weapon by the priests of your faith, you eschew complex trickery for swift and deadly efficiency. Subtlety and deception have their uses, but when a false smile fails, your blades have their own way of finding the truth.

You are trained in your deity's favored weapon. Whenever you gain a class feature that grants you expert or greater proficiency with simple or martial weapons, you also gain that proficiency rank with your deity's favored weapon.

You can deal sneak attack damage to your prey with your deity's favored weapon, in addition to the weapons listed in the sneak attack class feature. When you critically succeed at an attack roll using your deity's favored weapon and the target has the Off Guard condition, you also apply the weapon's critical specialization effect.

You're trained in your deity's divine skill and medium armor; if you're already trained in your deity's divine skill, you are instead trained in another skill of your choice. You can choose Strength as your key attribute modifier. When you gain light armor expertise, you also gain expert proficiency in medium armor, and when you gain light armor mastery, you also gain master proficiency in medium armor.

Requirements You are wielding your deity's favored weapon

You channel your zeal through a sacred weapon, bringing a foe closer to their demise. Strike a target with the required weapon. on a success, the target becomes Doomed 1 or increases the value of their doomed condition by 1 (most living creatures die when they've reached doomed 4). Creatures doomed in this way take a status penalty to their saving throws against divine spells equal to their doomed value.

Effect: Zealous Inevitability

A creature that would become doomed 4 by this Strike can attempt a Will saving throw against your class DC to avoid increasing the value of their doomed condition. When this occurs, this ability gains the incapacitation trait.

Trigger A creature you can observe within reach of your deity's favored weapon casts a spell.

Requirements You are wielding your deity's favored weapon.

Your training included instruction on how to prevent enemy priests from using their magic against you, a technique you have mastered and adapted. Make a Strike with your deity's favored weapon against the triggering creature. On a success, the target is Off Guard until the end of your next turn. The triggering spell is disrupted on a critical success, or on a success if the target is your hunted prey and the spell is a divine spell.

Special If your deity's favored weapon is a ranged weapon, this reaction can trigger if the target is within its first range increment and you can make a ranged Strike instead of a melee Strike.

Strikes you make with your deity's favored weapon against a creature with the Doomed condition have the death trait, causing the target to be instantly killed when reduced to 0 Hit Points. When killed in this way, attempts to communicate with it, return it to life, turn it into an undead, or otherwise disturb its afterlife fail unless the effect's counteract rank is higher than half your level when you killed the creature (rounded up), or originates from an artifact or a deity.

Requirements Your target is Doomed 2 or greater.

You finish your target with a vicious attack. Make a Strike against the target. If you hit, the target takes 4d6 extra precision damage with a Basic Fortitude save against your class DC. If the target critically fails, they die. This is an incapacitation effect. The creature then becomes temporarily immune to your Slay for 1 day.

Requirements You are wielding a two-handed hammer, spear, or polearm.

You enter a stance that allows you to leverage the haft of your weapon to brutal effect as an effective and frighteningly efficient weapon in its own right. You treat the haft of your wielded weapon as a simple weapon dealing 1d4 bludgeoning damage. The haft is in the club group and has the agile and finesse traits. The haft shares any fundamental runes attached to the main weapon, so long as it would normally qualify for them.

While in Haft Striker Stance, you can use feats and abilities that normally require you to be wielding two melee weapons each in a different hand, treating the haft as the second weapon, but you can't use abilities that require you to be wielding a two-handed weapon.

Frequency once per minute

Requirements You are in Haft Striker Stance.

The momentum of each of your attacks feeds into the next blow in the routine, creating a brutal rhythm that enables you to give your target one continuous beatdown. Strike twice, once with your weapon and once with its haft. Each attack counts towards your multiple attack penalty, but do not increase your penalty until you have made both attacks. Then Strike twice again, once with your weapon and once with its haft.
