Itamae - Cook Archetype

Straight from the Sea

Raw fish. To some, that sounds disgusting, but many recognize the pure quality of sashimi. You've dedicated your life to it, learning the perfect way to slice each fish, the right amount of rice to serve alongside, even the perfect way to create an egg custard to eat afterwards. To you, "raw fish" is more than just a good meal, it's a way of life.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you become an Itamae at 3rd level, you become proficient with nets, scimitars, and tridents, as well as in the Sleight of Hand skill, if you are not already.

Raw Finesse

At 3rd level, you no longer prepare morsels during a rest. Instead, you make them as they are needed. Using an Attack, you may make one morsel. As a part of that attack, you may feed a willing creature the morsel you just made. You may also hold onto the morsel, and use another Attack to feed any creature you can touch a morsel you made previously.

Morsels created this way expire when you finish a long rest, or at the end of your next turn if they are not consumed or placed into your cook's bag using a bonus action. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution Modifier, and regain all uses when you take a long rest. When you take a short rest, you regain a number of uses equal to your Constitution modifier.

At 7th level, the number of morsels you can make before taking a long rest increases by a number equal to your Constitution modifier. At 11th level, you regain all uses of this feature when you take a short rest.

Extra Attack

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Instant Service

At 10th level, when you take the Dash, Disengage, or Dodge action, as a part of that action you may feed a morsel to a willing creature you can touch.

Additionally, you may feed a willing creature you can touch a morsel that you made on your last turn as a reaction when you or an ally within 5 feet of you is targeted by or in the area of effect of a hostile attack, spell, or other effect. When you do so, the morsel is ingested before the trigger occurs.

Thousand-Fold Fury

At 14th level, when you use two of your attacks in the Attack action to make morsels on your turn, you may also make two melee weapon attacks with a spear, trident, or finesse weapon with which you are proficient.

Legendary Morsel

At 18th level, you gain the ability to make the following morsel once. When you do so, you may not make it again until you take a long rest.

Kajiki Sashimi. A section of the bill of an ancient swordfish, sliced thin and served raw. For 1 minute, the target may make one additional attack when they take the Attack action on their turn.

Morsels

Morsels to be served alongside this archetype. Some are simply sushi -themed, but others are exclusive to the Itamae.

Ika Nigiri

Raw squid served atop rice. The target's grip becomes extremely strong, almost sticky. For the next minute, they have advantage on any Strength (Athletics) checks to grapple an enemy, continue grappling an enemy, or not be disarmed.

Uni Sushi

An orange paste made from the gonads of a sea urchin, served atop rice and wrapped in seaweed. The target is imbued with the power of the ocean for 1 minute. They gain a swim speed of 30 feet and the ability to breathe underwater.
