You are fueled to fight on with the power of Hylia in your veins. Every time you swing your blade you gain more and more powerful as you get closer to your goal, killing your nemesis. With the combination of Hylia's power and your natural strength, you gain advantage against being frightened or intimidated as well as Constitution saving throws.

You were always superb when it came to aiming with bows, you take advantage of your aim and use your strength to pull the arrow back with great force and accuracy. When using a ranged weapon with the exception of crossbows you may use your Strength modifier for the attack and the damage.

As soon as you first wake up as a child you've gotten this fairy that has followed you and no matter what you've done it's never stopped. The fairy never fights however you seemed to have developed a relationship for it as it seems to understand you. You can name the fairy as you wish and it seems to grow closer to you as if someday you will be able to have a conversation with it. If the fairy is "killed" during battle it explodes in a puff of sparks and dandelion seeds. All things on the battlefield believe it is dead but it reappears after a short or long rest.

Abilities

The fairy is only able to heal you during battle when it sees your struggling, the heal is 3d4 + Your constitution modifier. Once the fairy has healed you it disappears as if it was slain.

By level 2 you are able to call the power of Hylia into your Longsword and create the ultimate blade called the Master Sword or Sword that Seals the Darkness. This new sword does 2d8 extra radiant damage along with the sword's base damage. If the enemy being hit is an undead or fiend it deals an extra 1d8 radiant damage. The initial time on this damage is 2 minutes with an additional 5 minutes if you sacrifice another level of exhaustion. After this ability is used you gain two levels of Exhaustion plus the additional time if added. At level 20 you are able to use this ability without gaining exhaustion.

Starting at 3rd level, you can use your weapon to perform a spin attack in which forces all enemies within 10 ft of you to perform a Dexterity saving throw or be hit with full damage, on a successful save the creature take half as much damage. You can expend one spell slot to deal force damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell Level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 4d8.

By 3rd level you have learned to summon the connection you have with the Goddess Hylia to cast spells as a Paladin does. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your hero of time Spells, since their power derives from your connection to Hylia. You use your Charisma to ask the Goddess to give you the strength needed to cast the spell. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when Setting the saving throw DC for a hero spell you cast and when Making an Attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Spell Attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a Hylia holy Symbol as a spellcasting focus for your "Hero of time" spells.

Beginning at 7th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an Attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the Two-Handed or Versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Protection

When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the Attack roll. You must be wielding a Shield.

Starting at level 18, as a bonus action you can expend one spell slot to gain total cover for 1 minute for a 1st-level spell slot, plus an additional minute for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 3 additional minutes.

At level 9 you gain the ability to call upon the sage Darunia to give you his strength and resilience. Your weapon begins to glow and you feel the heat from your blade but it doesn't seem to affect you, your blade molds into a hammer of sorts and now deals 2d6 fire damage in a 10x10 area hitting all hostile creatures being forced to roll a Dexterity saving throw; on a successful save take half damage but full on a failed save.
