This is first for me in this game. What the hell do you do to a Grave Hag with a level '??' I'm level 10, one touch from her and that's it, I'm dead. The boss fights aren't even that hard!! I got a few strikes in on her (with necrophage oiled 197 damage sword) and it didn't even make a single big of damage on her.

|Bio|

● Oni-Demon Teifling that was summoned from the demon gates itself. She has no memory of why she was summoned back to the mortal realm so she begins her journey discovering herself and her passions until the day comes she gains her memory back.

●Her first memory has returned to her: On a dark, cold night, nothing but black. Cries slowly fades in from the darkness, she begins to smell smoke, coughing from how much has blasted into her, the cries grows louder. hears cackling of fire as a small light begins to emerge. She walks closer to the light, a cottage house slowly emerging from the darkness realizing she's in the deepest of the woods where the light cannot touch, engulfed in flames. The smell of cooked blood and flesh within the red first flames dancing with the oranges and yellow, as if dancing with one another, dancing amongst the flame and soot for her. She turns her head to the right, a little girl covered in dirt and soot, blood on her arms, her shirt splattered with blood. Shes covering her face, why is she crying? The little girl quietly says 'Why...' she begins to grow louder 'Why did you do this? I thought we were friends! Why did you kill them? Why did you kill me?!' She looks back to the burning home then back to the girl in confusion...until she looks down. She sees her hands covered in blood, her fingers black, dripping. She looks back up and the girl is standing there with two other people unrecognizable staring at her. 'You killed us holly. you grew up just to be like your father.' The little girls skin begins to become blackened, her skin boiled, as if she was burned alive. 'A monster. A demon.' Holly can see her reflection in the girl's eyes. She looked... Different. Not the kind of different like if you make a mistake you can wipe it away with a loincloth so easily. The kind of different where once you fall in a oozing tar pit, you come out not looking like yourself. Never the same. Her once happy personality, gone. She could see the hate and chaos within herself, and it decided to finally come out. The Real Holly. The not so nice holly that would help a helping hand. Oh no.... The real holly doesn't help the weak. The real holly trusts only herself. She begins to laugh maniacally as the three, what presumed to be the dead, standing there begin to turn to dust as the wind goes by taking them with it. She sees herself unable to control this feeling. Quite a nice feeling though, it felt so good. She begins to light the trees on fire causing more destruction in her way, destroying everything in her path. It begins to fade to black as if watching herself walk away, as a fire ball appears from her black tainted hands, you can hear others screaming to get away from her. It goes fades to black. This painful memory hurt her head, causing blood to run down her nose. She becomes irritable, angry at everything. She keeps to herself until she can control herself once more. To be the 'happy' Holly.

[You sense the presence of any trap within range that is within line of sight. A trap, for the purpose of this spell, includes anything that would inflict a sudden or unexpected effect you consider harmful or undesirable, which was specifically intended as such by its creator. Thus, the spell would sense an area affected by the alarm spell, a glyph of warding, or a mechanical pit trap, but it would not reveal a natural weakness in the floor, an unstable ceiling, or a hidden sinkhole.

This spell merely reveals that a trap is present. You don't learn the location of each trap, but you do learn the general nature of the danger posed by a trap you sense.]

●Silence [Action, 10 Min, 120ft]

The spell can locate a specific object known to you, as long as you have seen it up close – within 30 feet – at least once. Alternatively, the spell can locate the nearest object of a particular kind, such as a certain kind of apparel, jewelry, furniture, tool, or weapon.

This spell can’t locate an object if any thickness of lead, even a thin sheet, blocks a direct path between you and the object.]

●Lesser Resoration [Action, Instant, Touch]

[You touch a creature and can end either one disease or one condition afflicting it. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned]

●Zone of Truth [Action, 10 Min, 60ft]

[You create a magical zone that guards against deception in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range. Until the spell ends, a creature that enters the spell’s area for the first time on turn or starts its turn there must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, a creature can’t speak a deliberate lie while in the radius. you know whether each creature succeeds or fails on its saving throw.

An affected creature is aware of the spell and can thus avoid answering questions to which it would normally respond with a lie. Such a creature can be evasive in its answers as long as it remains within the boundaries of the truth.]

|3rd Level| [ 2 Spell Slots •]

|Death Domain|

●Animate Dead [1 Min, Action, 1] [Lvl 5] •

[This spell creates an undead servant. Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid within range. Your spell imbues the target with a foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. The target becomes a skeleton if you chose bones or a zombie if you chose a corpse (the GM has the creature's game statistics).

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.

The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you've given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to four creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating a new one.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you animate or reassert control over two additional undead creatures for each slot level above 3rd. Each of the creatures must come from a different corpse or pile of bones.]

●Vampiric Touch [Action, 1 Min, Self, 3d6] [Lvl5]

[The touch of your shadow-wreathed hand can siphon force from others to heal your wounds. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target takes 3d6 necrotic damage, and you regain HP equal to half the amount of necrotic damage dealt. Until the spell ends, you can make the attack again on each of your turns as an action.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.]

|Cleric|

●Spirit Guardians [Action, 10 Min, Self][Lvl5] •

[You call forth spirits to protect you. They flit around you to a distance of 15 feet for the duration. If you are good or neutral, their spectral form appears angelic or fey (your choice). If you are evil, they appear fiendish.

When you cast this spell, you can designate any number of creatures you can see to be unaffected by it. An affected creature's speed is halved in the area, and when the creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d8 radiant damage (if you are good or neutral) or 3d8 necrotic damage (if you are evil). On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.]

|Extra Cleric|

●Bestow Curse [Action, 1 Min, Touch, 1d8][Lvl 5]

[You touch a creature, and that creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become cursed for the duration of the spell. When you cast this spell, choose the nature of the curse from the following options:

Choose one ability score. While cursed, the target has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws made with that ability score.

While cursed, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against you.

While cursed, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of its turns. If it fails, it wastes its action that turn doing nothing.

While the target is cursed, your attacks and spells deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target.

A remove curse spell ends this effect. At the GM's option, you may choose an alternative curse effect, but it should be no more powerful than those described above. The GM has final say on such a curse's effect.

At Higher Levels. If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration is concentration, up to 10 minutes. If you use a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the duration is 8 hours. If you use a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the duration is 24 hours. If you use a 9th level spell slot, the spell lasts until it is dispelled. Using a spell slot of 5th level or higher grants a duration that doesn't require concentration.]

●Dispel Magic [Action, Instant, 120ft][Lvl 5]

[Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range. Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends. For each spell of 4th level or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level. On a successful check, the spell ends.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you automatically end the effects of a spell on the target if the spell's level is equal to or less than the level of the spell slot you used]

●Revivify [Action, Instant, Touch] [Lvl5]

[You touch a creature that has died within the last minute. That creature returns to life with 1 hit point. This spell can't return to life a creature that has died of old age, nor can it restore any missing body parts.]

●Tongues [Action, 1 Hr, Touch][Lvl5]

[This spell grants the creature you touch the ability to understand any spoken language it hears. Moreover, when the target speaks, any creature that knows at least one language and can hear the target understands what it says.]

●Water Walk [Action, 1 Hr, 30ft][Lvl5]

[This spell grants the ability to move across any liquid surface--such as water, acid, mud, snow, quicksand, or lava--as if it were harmless solid ground (creatures crossing molten lava can still take damage from the heat).

If you target a creature submerged in a liquid, the spell carries the target to the surface of the liquid at a rate of 60 feet per round.]

The touch of death (or death-point striking) refers to any martial arts technique reputed to kill using seemingly less than lethal force targeted at specific areas of the body.

The concept known as dim mak (simplified Chinese: 点脉; traditional Chinese: 點脈; pinyin: diǎnmài; Jyutping: dim² mak⁶; literally: 'press artery'), alternatively diǎnxué (simplified Chinese: 点穴; traditional Chinese: 點穴) traces its history to traditional Chinese medicineacupuncture. Tales of its use are often found in the Wuxia genre of Chinese martial arts fiction. Dim mak is depicted as a secret body of knowledge with techniques that attack pressure points and meridians, said to incapacitate or sometimes cause immediate or even delayed death to an opponent. Little scientific or historical evidence exists for a martial arts 'touch of death', although it has been confirmed that trauma may cause disproportionately catastrophic consequences when applied to known pressure points under specific circumstances.^[1]Commotio cordis, for example, is an often lethal disruption of heart rhythm that occurs as a result of a blow to the area directly over the heart (the precordial region), at a critical time during the cycle of a heart beat causing cardiac arrest.

The concept known as vibrating palm originates with the Chinese martial arts Neijing ('internal') energy techniques that deal with the qienergy and the type of force (jin) used. It is depicted as 'a technique that is part psychic and part vibratory, this energy is then focused into a wave'.^[2]

Claims of practicability[edit]

Numerous martial artists claim to practice the technique in reality, beginning in the 1960s, when the term was advertised alongside the English translation 'The Death Touch' by American eccentric Count Dante.

In 1985, an article in Black Belt magazine speculated that the death of Bruce Lee in 1973 might have been caused by 'a delayed reaction to a Dim-Mak strike he received several weeks prior to his collapse'. Other authors have also said Lee's death may have been due to a 'quivering palm technique'^[3] (alongside an article about Cai li fo instructor Wong Doc-Fai) to the effect that 'dim mak does actually exist and is still taught to a few select kung fu practitioners.'^[4]A 1986 book on qi identifies dim mak as 'one of the secret specialities' of wing chun.^[5] However, this matter is not identified in the ving tsun kin kut and traditional practitioners of ving tsun (wing chun) take no stance in the matter.

Around 1990, Taika Seiyu Oyata founded the style of Ryū-te which involves 'pressure point fighting' (Kyūshojutsu). In the 1990s, karate instructor George Dillman developed a style that involves kyūshojutsu, a term that he identifies with dim mak. Dillman eventually went as far as claiming to have developed qi-based attacks that work without physical contact ('no-touch knockout' techniques), a claim that did not stand up to third-party investigation and was consequently denounced as fraudulent.^[6]

Also, during the late 1980s, Erle Montaigue (1949–2011^[7]) published a number of books and instruction videos on dim mak with Paladin Press. Montaigue claims to be 'the first Westerner to be granted the degree of 'Master' in taijiquan', awarded by Master Wang Xin-Wu in 1985. According to Montaigue's own account, dim mak is an aspect of traditional old Yang style taji quan which he claims he began learning in 1978 from a master called Chiang Yiu-chun who died in the month of May. Montaigue stated this man was an illegal immigrant, making his existence difficult to verify. Erle subsequently learned the remaining 'qi-disruptive' forms of wudang shan from Liang Shih-kan in 1995.^[8] Paladin Press has other titles on the topic of dim mak, including Kelly (2001) and Walker and Bauer (2002), both with a foreword by Montaigue.

In East Asian popular culture[edit]

A 'Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique' appears in both the Shaw Brothers films Clan of the White Lotus (1980) and Executioners of Shaolin (1977). It also appears in Kill Bill: Volume 2. The 'delayed action' of dim mak is depicted in Executioners of Shaolin (1977), where a '100-step Soul Catching' move allows the victim to take a certain number of steps before dying. A dim mak attack is used to paralyze a character in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).

The mangaFist of the North Star centers around the fictional martial art school called Hokuto Shinken, whose practitioners are trained to kill or incapacitate opponents by striking the specific pressure points on an opponent's body. The protagonist of the story, Kenshiro, is the successor of this style and will often end a battle stating how much time the opponent has left to live after delivering a finishing move, or follow up with his famous catchphrase, 'You are already dead', before his opponent dies, usually from violently exploding.

In the Naruto series, and its sequel Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Dim Mak is a basis for the fictional Gentle Fist fighting style used by the Hyuga Clan.

In contemporary western pop culture[edit]

Dim mak has become a kind of camp pop culture item which is recognized also outside the genre of martial arts films. In Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland, one of the protagonists uses the 'Quivering Palm Death Touch', which kills the opponent one year after it is used. In the TV series Quincy, M.E., a 1977 episode entitled 'Touch of Death' features a martial-arts movie star whose mysterious death is found to be a result of a dim mak attack against him ten days earlier.^[9] The lead character of the British TV series Gangsters (1978) is murdered by a hired assassin 'The White Devil' using a similar attack, with death occurring four days after he is touched.^[10]Dan Brown's novel Inferno depicts a character incapacitating a guard by putting pressure on his wrist, explaining the technique as 'Dim Mak'. In the comedy film The Men Who Stare at Goats, George Clooney's character claims to have been hit with the Touch of Death, a 'light tap' that causes death at an unknown point in the future, in one case 'about eighteen years later'.

In the Star Trek universe, the Vulcan nerve pinch is frequently used as a non-lethal method of applying pressure to a pressure point in order to render the target unconscious.

In Doctor Who, the Third Doctor describes himself as a master of Venusian aikido on various occasions, accounting for his unique form of hand-to-hand combat, which allows him to immobilize opponents in a manner similar to the Vulcan nerve pinch. Later incarnations of the Doctor have shown varying degrees of expertise in hand-to-hand combat, although only some spin-off material explicitly identifies the later Doctors' combat skills as originating from Venusian aikido.

In the Kung Fu Panda movie series, the Wuxi Finger Hold technique used by Po is a form of Dim Mak. Likewise, the villain Tai Lung and the mentor Oogway both use a nerve-strike attack to paralyze the opponent.

In the Avatar series, Ty Lee used a form of Dim Mak called Chi-Blocking in Avatar: The Last Airbender. The fighting style is reintroduced in The Legend of Korra as the primary fighting style of the Equalists.

In The Simpsons episode 'When Flanders Failed', Bart Simpson claims to have learned the touch of death in his karate classes— having actually stolen the concept from an arcade game— and uses the threat of using it on Lisa to make her perform tasks.

In the Batman: The Animated Series episode 'Day of the Samurai', Kyodai Ken, Bruce Wayne's rival from his days training in Japan, forces Master Yoru to reveal his secret death touch. Wayne survives the technique by wearing a protective pad to absorb the force of the blow.

In the Robert Rankin stories Hugo Rune, and others, are credited as practitioners of Dimac, described as the deadliest martial art known to man, described as being capable of disfiguring and dismembering the opponent with the slightest touch, or condemning the victim 'to forever walk sideways in the manner of a crab'. Rune himself claims to have been taught by Count Dante, and the character of Archroy later becomes a Dimac master himself, although he is initially prevented from taking revenge on Omalley as he was not provided with the book on defensive strategy.

Although not mentioned as dim mak, the ability to kill with a mere touch is attributed to Chiun, the mentor of Remo Williams, who is the protagonist in the series of fiction novels known as The Destroyer. The style of martial art practiced by Chiun is called Sinanju, which incorporates the idea of acupuncture meridians.

In the 1985 film Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, Chiun uses this knowledge to render a female Army major helpless, bringing her to over-heightened levels of sexual arousal and pleasure by simply tapping her wrist.

In the 2012 Square Enix video game, Sleeping Dogs, Dim Mak is a counter-attacking move that can be learned from the protagonist's Sifu (master).

Dim mak is referenced in Bloodsport (1988), a film allegedly 'based on true events in the life of Frank Dux', the founder of the first Neo-ninja school of 'American Style Ninjutsu'. In the film, Dux (Jean-Claude Van Damme) proves that he has been trained by Master Tanaka by demonstrating a move described as a dim mak or 'death touch' attack to the judges as a means to gain entry into a full contact Kumite by striking a stack of five bricks with his hand and breaking only the bottom brick.

The monk class in Dungeons & Dragons has a high-level 'Quivering Palm' ability that can mark an opponent for death and be activated later to kill them with lethal vibrations.
