It is this very tale that spurs on the people of the land to pursue the title of sword saint. however once offered the class by the world some have second thoughts, choosing instead to lead a peaceful life once it is revealed the sacrifices that a sword saint must make to ensure the world doesn't have to.
This is an Ultimate Class. By accepting this class you are accepting a higher form of warfare. You no longer will be contestable by normal classes. However normal people are the least of your worries. If you accept this class you are reduced in level to 1 however you retain all abilities, health, proficiency bonus, and skills associated with the lost class.

Class Features
Sword Energy
At first Level your Fighting energy is replaced with Sword energy. This doubles the amount your gain per turn or by ability and the amount you can hold as well as doubling its damaging effect per Sword Saint Level.
For example at level 1 you have 100 capacity, 6 gained per turn you are in combat and deal 2 extra damage per sword energy stored. At 2nd level you have 200 capacity, gain 12 per turn you are in combat and deal 4 extra damage per sword energy stored. At 3rd level, you have 400 capacity... ect.
True Saintly Form
As an action, you may enter the true saintly form. This causes you to deal progressively more damage to a target as well as dropping their AC every time you attack them. This can cause Creatures or Beings with unlimited AC and health to have a finite AC and health.
Every time you consecutively attack a single creature or being you gain 100 extra damage against them and their AC drops by 1 until you attack another creature or being or are hit by another creature or being. If a creature or being has unlimited hitpoints, it is immune to damage, has and unlimited AC or an ability that makes you unable to harm them. They are given an AC of 100, 100,000,000 hit points, and you may deal damage to them that cannot be healed until you are done fighting them. When they reach 0 hit points you erase them from existence on all planes.
Every turn in this form expends 100 sword energy, you must have at least 1 sword energy otherwise you are no longer considered in this form. every point of damage you take while in this form awards you 1 sword energy.

Burden of Sacrifice
You are called to protect the inhabitants of the world. You are granted both the power to do this and the responsibility to do it. This truly elevates you from normal warfare. This frees you from the curse of pride.
You gain the ability to take damage for any creature in sight. If the damage is divine, or demonic in nature and kills that creature you instead lose 1 max HP. This cannot be undone by any means. This also happens if you kill a creature that is not in leauge with the deities. If you reach 0 HP in this way you are erased from existence.
Victory Form
When you reach 0 HP you instead you may immediately take 1 turn,regain 1/2 your Hp and lose all but 1 of your sword energy. You also gain 1 level of exhaustion.
When you must win at all costs you may use the victory form. Igniting your own soul as the fuel for your forms you burn your life away in order to achieve victory. After receiving 5 levels of exhaustion you may enter the victory form for 1 minute. At the start of every turn you gain have max sword energy, and gain the benefits of all your form features.
