Partisan
A single half-elf races across the windswept plains, traveling at prodigious speed. He hardly breaks a sweat as he hurtles towards the city on the horizon.
As she faces down the charging ogre, shadows pour out of the half-orc’s chest to wreath her in a menacing aura.
Kneeling down next to his fallen friend, a wisp of ethereal mist envelopes the gnome’s hands, sealing his companion’s wounds.
Though it manifests in different ways, each of these warriors house a similar otherworldly power in their bodies. Known as partisans, they have entwined their spirit with a supernatural being that fortifies their physical body to incredible strength.
Symbiotic Soul
By virtue of their situation, a partisan must live a life beyond the ordinary. Whatever existence the partisan had before the Merging is now split between two distinct entities. Aspirations, hopes, even daily decisions become a compromise between a partisan and their soulbound ally. Much of the partisan’s new life is defined by the relationship between host and spirit.
When the two souls become bound together, their personalities remain distinct. The conjoining is not necessarily desired or planned, nor will it always be a peaceful union. Some partisans struggle against their ethereal partner, some strive towards a common goal, and some have found a grudging middle ground. It is precisely this dichotomy that makes a partisan unique.
Vitality for Power
There are many ways two souls can become joined, but the strain of the process often leads to death. Few can survive the Merging, but those who do find themselves brimming with unnatural vitality. The outpouring of these spiritual energies can, through disciplined practice, be converted into physical prowess. By burning through their own life force, partisans push their bodies far beyond their natural capabilities
This burning of vitality in exchange for power puts extreme strain on the partisan’s physical being, resulting in a dramatic decrease in their life expectancy. Due to their fiercely burning yet fleeting lives, many partisans are drawn to the fast-paced experience of adventuring. Their incessant drive for action can have many origins. Some partisans attempt to make the most of their limited time, while others seek a reversal of the Merging in a bid to save their own soul. Regardless of motivation, all partisans live fast and most die young.
Creating a Partisan As you make your partisan character, first think of what event led to the Merging for your character. Were you used as a sacrifice in some dark occult ritual gone wrong? Did you seek out and instigate your own Merging willingly? What actions of yours led you down this fateful path? Perhaps you are a kalashtar, and the Merging is a part of your heritage. Once you have an idea of how your Merging came about, take some time to think of the spirit itself that you will share your life with.
Work together with your DM to determine specific aspects of the spirit that has Merged with you, and the relationship you have with it. Do you have a common goal, or are you both working in opposition to each other? Are you in constant communication, does the spirit remain silent, or does it speak to you in dreams and visions? No matter the relationship you have with this soulbound ally, you are irrevocably melded together.

- (a) leather armour, or (b) a chain shirt

Alternatively, you can purchase your starting equipment with a starting wealth of 5d4 x 10gp.
Soulbound Ally
Partisans and their abilities are defined by the type of spirit that they have become merged with, and gain additional powers accordingly.
Choose one type of spirit that you have allowed to inhabit your body; ancestral, celestial, ethereal, fiendish, or primordial. The choice grants you additional features at 1st, 3rd, 7th, 10th, and 14th levels.
Vital Convergence
At 1st level, you have learned to tap into the spirit within to harness its powers. You gain one additional hit dice that can be used either in a short rest to regain hit points, or to fuel your other partisan features. All hit dice gained from this feature are regained after completing a long rest.
Starting at 9th level, you gain two hit dice in this way, and at 17th level you gain three.
Martial Spirit
Starting at 2nd level, you learned to bolster your martial expertise with the strength of your spirit. You may expend a hit dice as a bonus action to make a single weapon attack againts a creature within range. This attack roll gains a bonus equal to the number rolled, and deals additional damage equal to your Constitution modifier.
Rapid Regeneration
Also at 2nd level, you have learned to channel your conjoined spirit in such a way that it helps you regenerate your vigor much faster than a regular individual. When you complete a long rest, you regain all expended hit dice, instead of half your maximum.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Supernatural Ward
Starting at 6th level, when you are hit with an attack or you fail a saving throw, you can use your reaction to roll a hit die, expending it. You may add the result to your AC for that attack, or add it to the result of the saving throw.
Soulbound Emblem
Similar to a spellcaster, partisans require a soulbound emblem to use most of their features. This emblem can take many forms, from a necklace, a ring, a blade hilt, a metal tooth. Even a trinket from the trinket table could fit the bill.
Whilst they need not hold the emblem to use their partisan features, it does need to be on their person. If lost, a new item can be marked as your soulbound emblem in an 8 hour ritual costing 10 gp worth of supplies.
Without the emblem, any partisan feature that involves hit dice in any way does not function.
Dynamic Evolution
Beginning at 9th level, the spirit within you evolves in power, growing in strength and constitution. Partisan hit dice gained from this level and onwards are gained as d10s. This change also applies to the hit points gained each level, as well as your partisan features.
When you reach 15th level, your spirit evolves again. All partisan hit dice gained from 15th level and beyond are d12s.
Physical Peak
By 11th level, you gain proficiency in Dexterity saving throws. In addition, you are immune to disease and the poisoned condition.
Burst of Vigor
Starting at 13th level, you can draw upon the spirit within you, increasing your power and durability. As a bonus action, you may roll and expend a hit die. For a number of rounds equal to the result + your Constitution modifier, you gain the following effects:
- Your speed and jump distance increase by a number of feet equal to 5 x your Constitution modifier.
- You have advantage on the first weapon attack you make each turn.
- You regain hit points equal to a quarter of your partisan level at the start of each of your turns.
When this ability ends, you gain one level of exhaustion.
Convalescence
By 15th level, you have honed the art of physical recovery beyond the natural. When you take a short rest, you can opt to spend no hit dice for recovering hit points. If you do, you may instead regain all expended hit dice gained from your Vital Convergence feature, as well as regain hit dice equal to your Constitution modifier.
Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.
Unstoppable Spirit
Beginning at 18th level, whenever you drop to 0 hit points and are not killed outright, you can choose to roll and expend all of your hit dice, adding half your Constitution modifier for each hit dice expended. You regain hit points equal to the result.
Overload
At 20th level, you have nearly become one with your spiritual ally, working together in perfect harmony. Any time you would roll a hit die, you can instead use the maximum value for that die.
Soulbound Allies
The merging of one’s soul with another entity is a painful and sometimes deadly process. Whether through a misguided experiment, an agreement for the sake of a common goal, or a subjugation of the body for the machinations of the spirit, a symbiotic relationship between the adventurer’s body and a powerful being is reached. The event that causes this meshing of souls is often what starts an adventurer on their journey. Depending on the nature of the spirit, be it peaceable and helpful or twisted and scheming, the adventurer is changed forever from this bond.
Decide what type of relationship you have with the spirit residing within you. Work with your DM to come to an agreement as to how this will play out in game, as it can open up many opportunities. Base your relationship on an event from your character’s story, or roll on the table below.
| d6 | Ally Relationship |
|---|---|
| 1 | The spirit does not speak to you, only urges you in a direction through feelings and visions. |
| 2 | Both you and the spirit have a common goal, and are working cordially or begrudgingly towards it. |
| 3 | At times you are not sure who you are, as the second soul within you vies for control of your personality. |
| 4 | The being within you treats you as a puppet, unhappy with the circumstance yet using you for its own ends. |
| 5 | As a child, you were blessed with the protective spirit now bound to your soul forever. |
| 6 | Due to some dark ritual, you and this being were forcibly merged, and both of you are just trying to figure this out together. |

Primal Points. The Primordial Ally table shows how many primal points you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend primal points of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended primal points when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast burning hands using either slot.
The primal point cost of each spell level is displayed on the table below:
| Spell Level | Point Cost |
|---|---|

| 2nd | 3 |
| Spell Level | Point Cost |

| 4th | 6 |
Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level warden spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the evocation & transmutation spells on the warden spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Primordial Ally Spellcasting table shows when you learn more warden spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an evocation or transmutation spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
The spells you learn at 8th, 14th. and 20th level can come from any school of magic.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the warden spells you know with another spell of your choice from the warden spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must he an abjuration or evocation spell, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 8th, 14th. or 20th level.
Spellcasting Ability. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your warden spells, since you learn your spells through the atunement with your inner spirit. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warden spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Elemental Charge
Also at 3rd level, you can channel your inner spirit to bring elemental power to your weapon. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend and roll a hit dice to augment the next successful weapon attack you make until the end of your next turn.
The attack deals additional damage equal to the number rolled, plus your Constitution modifier. The damage dealt is one of the following damage types, chosen when the hit dice is expended: acid, cold, fire, or lightning.
Primordial Infusion
At 7th level, your weaker spells transfer some of their power into your Martial Spirit. When you cast a damaging cantrip as an action, and you then use your bonus action to use your Martial Spirit, if your attack hits, it deals bonus damage equal to your Constitution modifier, this damage is of the same type as the cantrips.
Syphon Resistances
When you reach 10th level, you can channel your spirit to drain a creature's resistance to certain damages. As an action on your turn, you can expend and roll a hit dice, targeting a creature that you can see within 30 feet. That creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your Primordial Ally spell save DC. On a failed save, they lose a resistance of your choice that you are aware of for 1 minute.

Compendium
Hello players and GM Binder devs! You've found the back page of a class from my class compendium. Not all of this work is mine, in fact, most of it isn't! It is simply here for ease of access for the players, and isn't shared elsewhere.
This class is another example of an /r/UnearthedArcana post that I took one look at and immediately loved, from both a conceptual and mechanical standpoint!
Created by /u/LittleBreadLoaf, this class was a winner from the start, with only a few balance changes that I myself wanted to make. One of the subclasses, Loaf's version of the Primordial Ally didn't make the cut, and was changed to the 3rd casting elemental caster it is now.
Otherwise, this class is super awesome, and provides a similarly interesting dynamic to how the warlock and it's patron functions.
