Arcanist

Arcanist: Infusion

Necrotic Talisman

This infusion can be placed on an amulet.

While you wear the amulet, you can infuse your unarmed strikes with necrotic energy as a bonus action until you use another bonus action to end the effect. For the duration, unarmed strikes use the creator’s Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls and the damage dice changes to 1d6 necrotic damage.

You can use this ability once between short or long rests. When you use this ability, the spell also counts as a necromancy spell for this casting.

Necrotic Surge

When you hit a creature with an attack, you can have the attack deal an additional number of d8 necrotic damage equal to the creator’s Intelligence modifier. You can use this ability once between long rests.
