Solitude and Patience

Cultivation often requires long periods of meditation, where the cultivator reflects upon their experiences and ponders the mysteries of their dao, increasing their understanding of their powers. Impatient cultivators often find their paths cut short while those who work hard find cultivation to be an endless gift.

As a result of these long periods of solitude, cultivators often find it difficult to hold relationships with most mortals, generally finding comfort in the presence of fellow cultivators or other immortals.

Creating a Cultivator

When creating a cultivator, think of why they would seek out power and immortality, or from where do they have the patience or confidence to believe that they can succeed on the path of cultivation. Perhaps a loved one was murdered and their single minded pursuit of revenge leads them to cultivation. Perhaps they are part of a clan of cultivators and to become one themselves is only expected.

Dao Spells

Reaper

At 1st level, you learn one necromancy cantrip of your choice from any spell list. When you cast a necromancy cantrip that normally targets only one creature, the spell can instead target two creatures within range and within 5 feet of each other.

Necrosis

Starting at 6th level, you've learned to suffuse your spells with negative energy, leaving your enemies weakened and vulnerable. Whenever you successfully hit one or more creatures with a spell that deals necrotic damage, or one or more creatures fail a saving throw against a spell you cast from the necromancy school, you can choose a number of those creatures up to half your cultivator level, rounded down, to suffer one of the following effects until the end of your next turn:

Festering Wounds. The creature suffers an additional 1d4 necrotic damage whenever it receives any piercing, slashing, or necrotic damage.

Inescapable Destruction

Starting at 10th level, when a creature within 60 ft. of you dies, you may use your reaction to open a rift into the negative energy plane. You cast the hunger of hadar spell centered on the creature that died. When cast this way, the spell deals only necrotic damage, lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier, doesn't require concentration, and the sphere it creates has a radius of 5 ft. You may use this reaction a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier per long rest.

Additionally, your ability to channel negative energy becomes more potent. Necrotic damage dealt by your cultivator spells and abilities ignores resistance to necrotic damage.

Life Drain

As a follower of the Dao of Blood you have learned how to siphon life from you enemies. When you reduce a hostile creature whose CR or level is equal to or greater than yours to 0 hit points, you regain hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier plus half your cultivator level (rounded down). If doing so would bring you above your maximum hit points you gain the excess as temporary hit points. Doing so kills the creature and effectively destroys its body. This ability has no effect on undead and constructs.

Manifest Dao: Killing Intent

As an action, you can unleash your killing intent to terrify your enemies. You can expend a use of your Manifest Dao to force all creatures of your choice within 30 ft. to make a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute.

A creature can repeat their saving throw against this effect at the end of their turns, ending the effect on a success.

Manifest Dao: Lacerate

At 6th level, when you deal slashing damage to a creature you can agitate the blood within them. When you deal slashing damage to a creature with blood you can expend a use of your Manifest Dao to deal an additional 4d8 slashing damage to the creature. Additionally, the creature's wounds continue to bleed, causing it to take an additional 1d8 necrotic damage at the beginning of each of its turns for 1 minute or until they or an ally use an action to succeed on a Wisdom (Medicine) check against your spell save DC to stop the bleeding. The bleeding can also be stopped if the creature has a spell that restores hit points or the spare the dying cantrip cast on it.

Enlightened Strike

Beginning at 8th level, once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack or unarmed strike, the strike counts as magical for overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical damage and deals and extra 1d8 damage of the weapon's type. At 14th level the extra damage increases to 2d8.

Relentless

At 10th level your senses are so attuned to the flow of life that you can follow it unerringly. Creatures below their maximum hit points leave behind a glowing red trail that only you can see. You can use this trail to track the creature and the trail remains until the creature regains all of its hit points. You can tell the type of the creature by the trail it leaves though you only know exactly who it is if you've interacted with the creature before.

Blood Sacrifice

Beginning at 14th level, you can sacrifice creatures for power. During a 1-hour ceremony, you can ritualistically slaughter a creature whose CR is greater than or equal to your cultivator level. The creature does not need to be willing though if it isn't willing it must be incapacitated for the duration. You can perform this ceremony as part of a long rest.

After completing this ceremony, you may choose one of the creatures innate features and gain it for yourself. You cannot gain truesight, damage immunities, legendary and lair actions, and learned abilities (non-innate spellcasting, weapon proficiencies). The DM has final say on further restrictions and adjustments of abilities.

For example, a 14th level cultivator can sacrifice an Adult Black Dragon (Monster Manual pg.88) and gain any one of the Black Dragon's Amphibious, Frighful Presence, or Acid Breath features.

You can only retain 1 feature this way and you keep it until you use Blood Sacrifice again.

Elemental Alliance

At 10th level, your studies of fire are noted among the beings of the Elemental Plane of Fire, allowing you to summon greater allies.

When you cast this spell the elemental you summon can be of a CR up to half your cultivator level (rounded down, minimum 6) with the max CR increasing by one for each slot level above 5th as normal. When cast this way, conjure elemental can only summon fire elementals.

As a reaction to being reduced to 0 hit points, you can unleash a destructive wave of fire that deals fire damage equal to your cultivator level to all creatures of your choice within 30 ft. and restores you to half your maximum hit points.

Once you have used this feature you cannot use it again until you have finished a long rest.

You summon a massive caterpillar that appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The caterpillar disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. The caterpillar is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the creature, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you), as long as they don't violate its alignment. If you don't issue any commands to the caterpillar, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions. If your concentration is broken, the caterpillar doesn't disappear. Instead, you lose control of the caterpillar, and it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and it might attack. An uncontrolled caterpillar can't be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it. The DM has the caterpillar’s statistics.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a 9th level spell slot, you can summon an additional massive caterpillar.
