Subclass Illrigger Painkiller
The Painkiller is an Illrigger subclass built around battlefield command — granting allies extra attacks and free movement, expanding its own critical range against Interdicted targets, and saving allies from death with a shouted order.
| LEVEL | FEATURE |
|---|---|
| 3 | Dispater's Blessing, Devastator, Grand Strategist |
| 7 | Dispater's Supremacy |
| 11 | You Die on My Command! |
You gain proficiency with Heavy Armor.
As an Action, you make a weapon attack and choose a number of willing creatures up to your Proficiency Bonus that you can see within 30 feet of you. Each chosen creature can use its Reaction to make a weapon attack or cast a damage-dealing cantrip with a casting time of 1 action.
Devastator multiplies the party's action economy: one of your Actions can generate up to Proficiency Bonus extra attacks from allies in the same moment.
You can order your allies to follow your formation (no action required). Choose a number of creatures within 60 feet of you that can hear you, up to your Proficiency Bonus. Each target can immediately move up to its Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.
Grand Strategist is free repositioning for the whole party — escape a bad engagement, collapse onto a priority target, or spread out before an AoE.
Your attacks against Interdicted creatures score a critical hit on a roll of 19–20.
When an ally within 30 feet of you who can hear you drops to 0 Hit Points without being killed outright, you can use your Reaction to shout an order at them, causing them to drop to 1 Hit Point instead. Once you use this Reaction, you can't do so again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.
The Painkiller is a battlefield commander that spends its own actions to multiply the party's.
Your combat identity:
- Baleful Interdict — mark your primary target; Dispater's Supremacy keys off it
- Devastator — your Action triggers up to Proficiency Bonus ally Reactions; use it when allies have high-damage attacks ready
- Grand Strategist — free party-wide repositioning with no Opportunity Attacks, every time it's needed
- Dispater's Supremacy at Level 7 — 19–20 crit range against the marked target
- You Die on My Command! at Level 11 — once per rest, an ally that would go down stays at 1 HP
