Even within the Protectorate, the Daughters of the Flame are feared for their origins and well-earned reputation as silent killers. The organization was created in secret by the Priestess of the Flame with the permission of Hierarch Loyal and was first tasked with guarding sacred sites. This secret organization evolved into a precision tool, capable of eliminating internal and external threats to the Protectorate.
The Daughters, organized into small strike squads known as “hands,” stalk enemies of the faithful with zeal, emerging from the shadows only to spill the blood of heretics. The Daughters are picked from among newly recruited Flameguard members based on their raw potential and absolute dedication. Thousands of soldiers have perished defending their beliefs, many husbands or betrothed, parents, or siblings. Those who enter the ranks of the Flameguard are trained independently in an exhaustive routine of physical and mental preparation, despite being considered members of the Flameguard.
Daughters of the Flame are challenging to track down on the battlefield due to their unparalleled skill in obfuscation. They dart from obstacle to obstacle at breakneck speed, bending and contorting to maximize available protection while avoiding the enemy’s eye. They are said to have been trained in martial arts by the Order of the Fist and are a blur of fluid motion in battle. Daughters weave through the adversary, their blades slashing through flesh and entering the small, vulnerable places between plates of armor.
Though some argue that Afeara overreached her power by increasing the role of the order, no one can deny that it has aided the Protectorate’s war effort. The Daughters have served on the battlefield with the Temple Flameguard and Flameguard Cleansers since the onset of the Great Crusade. Daughters further give vital reconnaissance to Protectorate field commanders and conduct pinpoint strikes against the enemy.
Anatomical Precision
Starting at 3rd level, when you roll sneak attack damage, and your target is a humanoid, you ignore damage resistances to your weapon damage.
Two-Weapon Fighting
Starting at 3rd level, when you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack. Additionally, if your second attack hits, you can use your Sneak Attack against that target even if you don’t have advantage on the attack roll but not if you have disadvantage on it.
Nimbleness
Also at 3rd level, when you hit a creature with a melee attack on your turn, you can move through the creature’s space if it is of your size or larger, and the creature can’t make opportunity attacks targeting you for the rest of your turn.
Supreme Sneak
Starting at 9th level, you have advantage on a Dexterity (Stealth) check if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn.
Reposition
Starting at 13th level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to move up to your walking speed. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.
Fast Attack
Starting at 17th level, you have a lethal quick strike. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional attack as a bonus action targeting the same creature.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS
| While the Daughters of the Flame has been an order of only women by tradition, they are not alone in the grief of lost loved ones. Should a man desire to become a member of this order, he must meet all of the other qualifications of the Daughters of the Flame. Men who join the order are often former members of the Order of the Fist or Temple Flameguard who have suffered the loss of loved ones, which motivates them to join this martial group to mete out revenge on those they blame for their losses. “Sons of the Flame” are rare but still play a role in defense of the remains of the Protectorate. |
