Echo Knight

The archetypal Echo Knight is a fighter who has discovered a means of utilizing a time-displaced echo of their own soul to do battle. These warriors are often feared for their superior capabilities in positioning and battlefield control.

   

Manifest Echo (Level 3)

You can use a bonus action to magically manifest an echo of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This echo is a magical, translucent, gray image of you that lasts until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a free action, until you manifest another echo, or until you're incapacitated.   Your echo has an AC of 14 + your proficiency bonus. It shares a health pool with you, meaning specifically that when it takes damage, you take the same amount. It has immunity to all conditions. If it needs to make a saving throw, it uses your bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. On your turn, you can mentally command the echo to move up to 30 feet in any direction (no action required). If your echo is ever more than 30 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed.   As a bonus action, you can teleport, magically swapping places with your echo at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you. When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the echo's space. You make this choice for each attack. When a creature that you can see within 5 feet of your echo moves at least 5 feet away from it, you can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack against that creature as if you were in the echo's space.  

Unleash Incarnation (Level 3)

Whenever you take the Attack action, you can make one additional melee attack from the echo's position.   You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a short rest.  

Echo Avatar (Level 7)

You can temporarily transfer your consciousness to your echo. As an action, you can see through your echo's eyes and hear through its ears. During this time, you are deafened and blinded. You can sustain this effect for up to 10 minutes, and you can end it at any time (requires no action). While your echo is being used in this way, it can be up to 1,000 feet away from you without being destroyed.  

Resilient Echo (Level 7)

You resist any damage you take from your echo's shared damage.  

Shadow Martyr (Level 10)

You can make your echo throw itself in front of an attack directed at another creature that you can see. Before the attack roll is made, you can use your reaction to teleport the echo to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the targeted creature. The attack roll that triggered the reaction is instead made against your echo.   Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short rest.  

Reclaim Potential (Level 15)

You've learned to absorb the fleeting magic of your echo. Whenever you use your Unleash Incarnation feature, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to 2d6 + your Constitution modifer, provided that you do not already have temporary hit points.   You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifer (a minimum of once) and it recharges on a short rest.  

Legion of One (Level 18)

You can use a bonus action to create two echos with your Manifest Echo feature, and these echoes can co-exist. If you try to create a third echo, the previous two echoes are destroyed. Anything you can do from one echo's position can be done from the other's instead.   In addition, when you start your turn and have no uses of your Unleash Incarnation feature left, you regain one use of that feature.
