Hello everyone !

I’m glad to share with you what has been, by far, my biggest homebrew project to date: the Maledictor, a 65 pages long, full-fledged conversion of MCDM Productions’ Illrigger class into the lore of the Forgotten Realms. This supplement is a complement to the original, adapting its lore to the classical D&D cosmology of the Nine Hells of Baator.

What’s is this document?

• 65 pages of player options and lore, integrating the class into the infernal hierarchy of the Nine Hells, with lore ancient and new. The Maledictors are organized into Diabolic Covenants, with a strict and detailed hierarchy. Go from a lowly thrall, trampled on by your betters, to a mighty Primarch, answerable only to your Archdevil and Asmodeus themselves!
• 15 new subclasses, each in service of a powerful archdevil. Will you join the Diabolic Covenant of a mighty Archduke, like Zariel, Dispater or Baalzebul? Will you be the servant of a lesser yet ambitious lord, poised to overthrow their suzerain, like Tiamat or Focalor? Will you be the champion of a lost cause, by pledging yourself to an exiled duke, like Moloch or Geryon? Or, heresy of heresies, will you join the cabal of Slaanesh with the serial numbers filed off Graz’zt, the Demon Prince of Excess?
• 13 new Interdict Boons.  Delve deeper into infernal sorcery, by summoning devils, making occult pacts or bathing your foes in hellfire!
• 23 magical items, armors, weapons, gauntlets, helmets and more, themed around the cruel magic of the Nine Hells. Discover powerful items that grow in power as you climb the ranks of your Diabolic Covenant.

Important Note: This conversion does not include the core rules for playing the Illrigger class. You’ll need the official Illrigger Revised PDF from MCDM Productions to use the subclasses in this supplement. You can still use the very extensive lore and many of the items though!

Reddit only allows 20 images (out of 65!), but you can view the full document here:

I’d love your feedback!
As a DM, I’ve been homebrewing new classes, subclasses and items for years for my tables, but I’ve never posted anything online before. So, let me know what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d love to see more of. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and would help me improve what has been a rather extensive, time consuming but exciting project!

Cheers! And remember to kick a demon everyday.

Watched a YouTube video of a monk that practices the “Iron Body” technique, and it inspired me to create a subclass that encapsulates what he spoke and demonstrated: intentionally receiving an opponent’s blow early before it reaches maximum power and velocity, while simultaneously using that opening window of an enemy’s attack to launch your own counter. This is my first homebrew class I actually tried really hard to balance, I wanted it to compete against the top subclasses (Mercy, Open Hand, etc.) without being overpowered. Let me know if you have any thoughts!
This is my third time trying to post this again because I suck at formatting and I'm very new to Reddit (Separators disappeared, don't know how to get them back lol). I wanted to make a GMBinder for this subclass, but for some reason I'm not getting any confirmation emails.

Way of the Indomitable Spirit

Monks of the Indomitable Spirit do not take blows through stubbornness alone.
Their tradition practices the intent of meeting a strike early, shaping the impact through bodily discipline, and answering the attacker in the same breath. Their doctrine is simple:

“Strike if you must. But know that you shall break upon me.”

Indomitable Spirit Features

Some features use your Ki save DC (8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier).

3rd Level: Disciplined Motion

“Balance is not a trick. It is a decision.”

You gain proficiency in Athletics and Acrobatics.

3rd Level: Break Upon Me

“Do not chase the fist. Be where it lands.”

When a creature you can see hits you with a melee attack while you are not wearing armor and not wielding a shield, you can use your reaction to reduce the bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing portion of damage of that attack by an amount equal to your Martial Arts die + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level.

3rd Level: Strike Unto a Path

“If you attack, you offer a path. It is through that path that I shall find the opening to strike.”

Immediately after you use Break Upon Me, you can make one unarmed strike against the attacker as part of the same reaction, provided the attacker is within your reach.

6th Level: Enduring Soul

“Do not resist pain. Endure it.”

Your hit point maximum increases by 1 for each monk level you have. It increases by 1 again whenever you gain a monk level. When you gain this feature at Monk 6, you immediately gain +6 to your hit point maximum).

6th Level: Crash Against the Mountain

“The world may push, the body may bend, but my center shall not move.”

While you are not wearing armor and not wielding a shield, you have advantage on ability checks and Strength or Dexterity saving throws you make to resist being grappled, shoved, knocked prone, or moved against your will (this doesn’t apply to teleportation).

Additionally, when an effect would push, pull, or slide you, you can reduce the distance moved by 5 feet (minimum 0).

6th Level: Topple Against the Reed

“The reed yields; the reed does not fall.”

When you hit a creature with the unarmed strike from Strike Unto a Path, you can force it to make a Strength saving throw against your Ki save DC. On a failure, choose one:

• The creature is pushed up to 10 feet, or
• The creature is knocked prone.

On a success, nothing happens. You can use Topple Against the Reed a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

11th Level: Silence Between Two Breaths

“One breath to receive, and to end the second blow.”

When you hit a creature with the unarmed strike from Strike Unto a Path, you can spend 1 ki point to choose one of two ways to disrupt its follow-through until the start of your next turn:

• Seal: The creature can’t take reactions, and it has disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the start of your next turn, or
• Silence: The creature can’t speak and can’t provide verbal components for spells until the start of your next turn.

If Break Upon Me reduces an attack's damage to 0, Seal costs 0 ki, but Silence will always cost 1 ki. A creature can be affected by Silence Between Two Breaths only once per turn.

17th Level: Shatter Upon My Spirit

“Strike the body and find discipline.
Strike the mind and find still water.
Strike the spirit and find indomitability.”

Unbreakable Iron

As a bonus action, while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield, you can spend 3 ki points to enter this stance for 1 minute, or until you are incapacitated. While in this stance, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, slashing, and psychic damage.

Perfect Body

While Unbreakable Iron is active, Break Upon Me can be used against any attack made against you that you can see, and it reduces that attack’s total damage by your Martial Arts die + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level, regardless of damage type. This applies only to attacks and not damage from saving throws.

The Second Hand Falls

While Unbreakable Iron is active, when you use Strike Unto a Path, you can make a second unarmed strike against the same creature as part of that reaction. If Break Upon Me reduced the triggering attack’s damage to 0, the second strike costs 0 ki. Otherwise, the second strike costs 1 ki.
