When a creature within 60 feet of you with whom you are obsessed with would be dealt damage, you may choose to reduce the damage dealt to your obsession by half (rounded down). After determining how much damage your ally is dealt, you are dealt the same amount of damage. You must be conscious to use this vow of protection. You can determine that a creature is your obsession regardless of whether they're willing or not, and you must use your action to establish this connection. You may possess a number of obsessions equal to your constitution modifier (minimum 1). A creature is no longer considered an obsession if either you or the afformentioned creature dies, or if you use an action to end the obsession. ### Stalker's Observations The yandere's obsession drives her to observe and understand the chosen creatures, regardless of their consent. Starting at level 1, you can read the body language of your obsessions within 60 feet. You can easily determine the emotional state of your obsessions, and find it much easier to tell whether or not they're lying to you. ### Fighting Style At level 2 the yandere may choose one fighting style from the following style list: - *Defense:* While wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC. - *Dueling:* When you are wielding a weapon in one hand and no other weapons, your weapon gains a +2 bonus on damage rolls. - *Great Weapon:* When you damage a creature with a melee weapon held in both hands you may reroll any weapon damage die that show a result of 1 or 2. You may only reroll dice in this manner once. - *Protection:* When a creature you can see attacks a creature other than you within 5’ of you, you may use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that creature’s next attack roll. You must be wielding a shield to use this ability. ### Natural Healer Your desire and body will react more positively to any forms of recovery, working in concert to increase the potency of any force curing your wounds. At level 2 whenever a class feature, spell or other effect causes you to regain hit points, you regain additional hit points equal to your proficiency bonus. ### Refined Oath Upon reaching level 3, the yandere’s refines their vows of obsessions with one specific vocus.

When a creature that you can see attacks a creature within 60 feet with whom you are obsessed with, you can use your reaction to take the place of the target of the attack. If that creature is willing you both teleport, swapping places in an instant, and you become the new target of the attack.
