Cleric & Homebrew
BLEAK WALKER
The ranks of the Bleak Walkers consist of soldiers dedicated to conducting warfare mercilessly and with extreme brutality in order to bring a swift end to conflicts. Because they are renowned for their terrible and unyielding nature, most nobles will only call on them as a last resort. The Bleak Walkers' behavior reinforces cruelty because the quickest resolution to a battle is one in which the Bleak Walkers' arrival is announced and a surrender immediately follows.

Channel Divinity: Sacred Immolation
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to self-immolates in blue flame. As an action, you burn with holy flames. For 1 minute enemies in the area take immolation damage and you and allies regain a small amount of endurance.
As long as the immolation is active, you can use your bonus action to magically make the fire pulse in a 10 foot radius around you. Up to three Enemies in the area take 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier radiant or necrotic damage. Up to three creatures in the area including yourself regain hit points equals to your Wisdom modifier.
The immolation damage increases by one die when you reach 5th level (2d6), and 11th level (3d6). The hit points regained increase to twice your Wisdom modifier when you reach 11th level.
Zealous Focus
Starting at 6th level, you can utter a war cry announcing the bleak walker’s arrival to the battlefield.
As a bonus action, you grant yourself a zealous focus for 1 minute or until you fall unconscious. For the duration, when you take the Attack action on your turn you can attack twice, instead of once. You ignore this benefit if you already have a feature, like Extra Attack, that gives you extra attacks.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
