BALL OF RAGE
At 3rd Level you can summon a smoking, writhing ball of Elemental Earth that is pissed off beyond all reason.  It immediately appears in your hand when you enter Rage, and will automatically reappear there if it is knocked out of your hand or taken, or after you make an attack by throwing it.  It does 2d4 Bludgeoning damage, uses Strength for attack and damage rolls, and can be used as a melee or thrown weapon (range is 20/60 feet), and you apply your Rage Bonus to damage when throwing it.  Creatures hit by it must make a Dexterity Saving Throw (Save DC is 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Strength Modifier) or be knocked Prone. 

BOOMER
At 6th Level your ball does 2d6 magical Bludgeoning damage.  Additionally, if you successfully knock an opponent Prone, you can move him 10 feet in any direction (except up or down).  If this puts  the target in the space of another creature, it must make a Strength Saving Throw or be moved into an adjacent empty square, and be knocked Prone.  If it cannot be moved, it must still make the Save or be knocked Prone while the original target stops where it is.  Regardless both creatures take 1d6 Bludgeoning damage as they collide.

PICK YOUR SHOT
At 10th Level you can choose to throw underhand or overhand.

"Do you both swear to abide by the tenets of the Oath, even unto the Afterlife?"

Who Wants Cookies?
"I do.  Harlan, what's all  this about?"

"The true nature of most Cryptids."

"I had to fib to you Jim.  I took the Oath when I first became a Wizard."

"The Wizards realized many species would be overrun if they were known to exist, so they made a ritual."

"A ritual specific to Cryptids I'm guessing?"

"People who encounter recipients of the ritual, or their descendants, tend to...misremember information about them."

"You and your son haven't undergone the ritual then?"

"No, but we'll have to if he keeps trying to sell Mothsquatch branded products.  I was hoping to keep him innocent."

"As all good mothers do."


Lets Knit You Boys Some Cardigans!

"So why are you and Harlan here?"

"Following a villain whose been operating in secrecy for too long."

"Again?"

"Have we been here before?"

"Not you, just Harlan."

The Ginosaji is a tall, slender white man with black lips and circles around his eyes, wearing black clothes and a hoodie.  There is a cryptogram known as the Mark of the Ginosaji on his left wrist.  He has an odd walk, carries a collection of spoons, and sports a sneer of perpetual rage.  His blood is black, and he appears to be full of worms.  He doesn't communicate, preferring to just batter his victims with a spoon.  He does not appear to need air, food or water.  He doesn't speak, except when changing shape to disguise himself.  He is a remarkably tenacious (beep), and is apparently a vengeful demon of some sort whose goal is to punish people by murdering them as slowly and inefficiently as possible, to the extent he will even save them from suicide if he has to.

Spoon Collection: The Ginosaji keeps a collection of 16 magical +1 spoons under it's hoodie.  These are weapons that do 1 point of bludgeoning damage, and can be thrown up to 10 feet.  If the Ginosaji successfully hits an opponent, it can choose to add one of the following effects:

Disarm: As a Free Action the Ginosaji can make a Disarm attempt, without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.

Fatigue: The target must make a DC 14 Fortitude Save or become Fatigued (or Exhausted if it's already Fatigued).  The Save DC is Strength based.

Knockdown: As a Free Action the Ginosaji can make a Trip attempt, without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.

Stun: The target must make a DC 14 Fortitude Save, or be Stunned for 1 round.  The Save DC is Strength based.

Sunder: As a Free Action the Ginosaji can make a Sunder attempt, without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.

Curse of the Ginosaji (Su): The Ginosaji always knows the location of it's intended current target, so long as they are on the same plane of existence.  It cannot choose a new victim until it has killed the old one.

Partial Invulnerability: The Ginosaji is immune to non-magical weapon damage, and has DR 10/- against magical weapons.  If the Ginosaji loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.

Immunities: The Ginosaji has immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, petrification, polymorph, stunning, disease, and death effects.  He is not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability drain, or energy drain. He is immune to damage to its physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution), as well as to fatigue and exhaustion effects.  He is immune to cold, fire and negative energy damage.

Spiderclimb (Ex): The Ginosaji can climb sheer surfaces as though with a spider climb spell.

Change Shape (Su): The Ginosaji magically polymorphs into a small or medium humanoid, or back into its true form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment the Ginosaji is wearing or carrying transforms to something appropriate for the new form. If the Ginosaji dies, it reverts to its true form.

Selective Invisibility (Su): The Ginosaji is permanently Invisible to everyone but it's current intended target.

Combat:  The Ginosaji just runs after his victim, relentlessly battering him with a spoon.  He only breaks out the fancy maneuvers when the target tries to fight back, in an attempt to crush it's spirit.   Sadistic to a fault, the Ginosaji will let it's victim escape to attack later, and will not pursue another victim until it kills it's current one.

THE RAGEICIAN
Some people study magic, some people are born with it.  Some had to sell themselves, or swear an oath to get access to it.  Some play snuggles with beings of fell powers.  You came about magic in a slightly more different manner.  You're just so scary you can intimidate reality into obeying you.  At least, that's everyone's working theory.  I mean, in general, you are a scary person with a reputation.  Especially since you used a dead Mindflayer to put on a puppet show.  Not saying you were wrong, just saying there may have been some unforeseen side effects on your social calendar.  But who needs friends when you can tell the world "He didn't hit me.", and the world agrees.

RAGE MAGIC
At 3rd Level you gain 4 Rage Dice, which are d8s. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended Rage Dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain another Rage Die at 6th level and one more at 14th level.  You may use a Rage Die after you see the result of any roll (this does not take an Action).  If you choose to expend a Rage Die, you may roll it and add it to the result of the roll you wish to modify.  This can turn a missed roll into a success, or boost rolls like Initiative or damage rolls that you wish to make higher.  You can only expend one Rage Die per roll.  Editor's Note: Except for rolling for hit points when you go up a Level, this can literally be ANYTHING you have to roll a die for.

IMPROVED RAGE MAGIC
At 6th Level you gain three new uses for your Rage Dice.  The first is a Reaction used when you are successfully attacked.  When you expend the die, roll it and subtract the result from your attackers attack roll.  If this lowers it's roll enough that it would miss, it misses.  The second is a Bonus Action used when you have made a successful attack roll.  That attack is now a Critical hit.  The third is that you can expend a Rage Die as a Bonus Action if your Rage would end because you haven't taken damage or attacked anyone, your Rage continues instead.

TERRIFYING GAZE
At 10th Level you fix your gaze on one creature you can see within 10 feet of you as an Action. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against this magic or become frightened for 1 minute (Save DC is 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + Strength modifier). The frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a target’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to your gaze for the next 24 hours.

I REFUSE
At 14th Level you can refuse death if you have at least 3 Rage Dice.  If something occurs that would normally result in your death, you Rage at the Gawds while expending 3 Rage Dice.  They promptly decide they don't want to deal with you, and you wake up fully resurrected with 1 hit point.
