Part 1: Additional Feats

This portion of the document gives the details of a list of feats I have written to add a bit more customization to character playstyles. Each feat I've written I believe adds a new dynamic to the character being played and the characters specific playstyle.

Aren't you a little young for this?

Prerequisite: None, can be taken for free at character creation, cannot be taken at any point past that.
Some folks start their journeys a little earlier than others. This feat can only be taken if you are bellow the average age of physical maturity for your race. You gain the following traits. These traits are lost once the character reaches that physical maturity.

• Your Strength and Intelligence, until you reach your races age of physical maturity, are reduced by 2.
• You are one size category smaller than your races usual size category, and follow the size rules as normal.
• You may move through any space of a creature a size larger than you, and if they are an allied creature, you may stay in that location.
• If you are not tiny, you gain +1 to your armor class because of your size, as you are smaller and more difficult to hit than your race would normally be.
• Children that become adventurers often do so, not because they are talented, but because they are lucky. An amount of times per day equal to half of your proficiency bonus rounded up, you may reroll any saving throw, ability check, or attack roll that you make, or is made against you, choosing which of the rolled dice you'd prefer and using that one. You may choose to do this after the dice is rolled but before a result is given.

If you are reduced to Tiny because of this feat:
• You lose the ability to use weapons not specifically built for your size, unless they are light, which you can wield with two hands. Weapons built specifically for you, deal two dice size categories less in damage. 1d12 to 1d8, or 1d8 to 1d4. If a dice is reduced lower than 1d4, it isntead deals 1 damage + modifiers, and no dice are involved.
• You have disadvantage on Strength saving throws and (Athletics) Strength ability checks.
• You can move into spaces of any creature larger than you without being impeded.
• Your nonmagical melee weapon attacks do half as much damage as they would have previously done.
• At first level, you have -1 maximum hit point, and every time your maximum hit points would increase because of a gained they increase by 1 less.
• Your hit dice are always smaller than they would be otherwise, reduced by one dice size. 1d10 to 1d8, or 1d6 to 1d4, for example.
• You add twice the normal amount you would add to your armor class whenever your Dexterity modifier is added to it, regardless of the armors normal limit for this.

Dysthymia

Prerequisite: None, can be taken for free at character creation, but cannot be taken at any point past that.
Restlessness, pain, fatigue. When depression gets bad, so do you. Some people, are unable to get through those times and are cursed with an eternal feeling of guilt, shame, and sadness hanging over them. You gain the following features to reflect your constant pain.

• You have grown use to sleeping, and eating less, because of your illness. You take a -1 to both your intelligence and wisdom score for every level of exhaustion you have. However, you count as having half of your current exhaustion levels when determining the detriments of your current exhaustion levels (Rounded Down). Additionally, you are able to gain up to a maximum of 12 levels of exhaustion instead of 6. Ex. You have a -4 to both Intelligence and Wisdom Scores when you accumulate four levels of exhaustion, however you count as having only two levels of exhaustion and only suffer 2 levels of effects.
• You have disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws to stay sane, or to avoid effects that would frighten or charm you.

Great Weapon Duelist

Prerequisite: A Strength score of 15 or higher
You have learned to use great weapons with one hand. Properly positioning their weight and size in a way that makes it possible to do so without losing their balance.

If you are a medium sized creature or larger, you gain the following list of features. If you are a size of small, you instead are able to use heavy weapons without any disadvantage.

• This feat allows you to carry two-handed, and heavy melee weapons with just one hand. When wielding a weapon of this kind with one hand, you are also considered to be wielding it with two for the purposes of other features.
• When wielding heavy weapons in one hand, the damage dice they were previously is changed to the dice depicted in the following chart.

• When you make an attack that does not already have disadvantage with a weapon that you are wielding in one hand, you can choose to give the attack disadvantage. If you hit with the attack, if the creature is of one size category larger than you or smaller you can choose to as part of that attack attempt to knock the creature back. Make a Strength (Athletics) check contested by a check of the same type by the target. If you win, they are knocked back 5ft, plus an additional 5ft for every size category smaller than you they are. If they win, nothing happens.

Gunsmith Adept

Prerequisite: You must have the Gunsmith Initiate feat
You have begun to develop the rather niche art of constructing and assembling firearms. This practice grants you the following features.

• You may increase your Dexterity or your Intelligence by 1.
• Your proficiency bonus with tinker's tools is doubled when making ability checks with them.
• You can now craft all firearms, and are no longer limited to primitive ones, as long as you have the required blueprints. When crafting primitive firearms, you craft at twice the speed you would normally craft them at, but when crafting modern firearms your rate is still 10 gp per day with readied parts, and 5 gp without.
• You may now craft attachments for your firearms, given that you have the appropriate blueprint to do so. This is done at the same rate as crafting firearms, and is done as per crafting any normal items.

Gunsmith Initiate

Prerequisite: An Intelligence score of 13 or higher, and proficiency in tinker's tools
Your gunsmithing has begun to surpass that of the renaissance and enter the modern. With your creations becoming more complx, you gainthe following features.

• You may increase your Dexterity or your Intelligence by 1.
• You gain proficiency in smith's tools if you didn't have it already. If you already had proficiency in them, your proficiency bonus is doubled when making ability checks with them.
• You now have the ability to craft primitive firearms, as long as you have the required blueprints. When crafting firearms, you craft them at a rate of 10 gp of the weapons gold value per day presuming the parts are easily accessible. If you need to create the parts from scratch, but have the materials required to do so. You craft these items at a rate of 5 gp per day in stead, taking roughly twice the amount of time a simple assembly would take. Making parts in this way requires smith's tools in addition to the required tinker's tools.
• You may now craft ammunition for your firearms. This is done at the same rate as crafting firearms, and is done as per crafting any normal items.

Innovator

Prerequisite: You must be able to craft some sort of item that would require blueprints or recipes, like magic items, firearms, or similar
Many in the world craft. They follow guides, and they follow instructions. They follow the diagrams given and simply do as they are told. You are different, you are an innovater, and gain the following features because of it.

• You may increase any ability score by 1.
• Over the course of a long rest, you may go over your notes, plan, and experiment with designs in your head and on paper. When you do this, explain to your DM what you are attempting to invent, and then attempt an Intelligence (relevant tool or skill) ability check, with a DC based on the chart below. If you succeed, you gain a number of progress points towards your blueprint or recipe equal to 1d4 + your Intelligence modifier. Upon reaching the required progress points for the plan, you successfully finish the blueprint or recipe. Once this is done, the DM will give you the details of this design and what is required for the item you wish to learn to craft. Multiple innovators can work together, adding their progress points to the same blueprints to achieve discoveries more quickly.

Variant Rule: Beginning with Blueprints

Some characters may wish to come into game with the knowledge of how to craft things. Characters who have been aspiring their whole lives to eventually complete a complex firearm, or finish an enchantment their father designed. Either way, this is an entirely reasonable request.

This variant rule allows characters to at character creation, purchase blueprints for 5x, or magical recipes for 10x, the progress points required to complete the item's blueprint or recipe in gp. These plans can come in any form, but are most commonly in some sort of physical paper form.

Item Weaver

Prerequisite: You must have at least one 5th level or higher spell slot
Manipulating the weave, and coercing it to manifest inside an item for your own use. A skill not often learned, and even less often taught. You have to your luck, received this training, and therefore gain the following features.

• You may increase either your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma by 1.
• You can now craft magical items as long as you have the recipe, and the ingredients necessary to assemble and enchant said item. This crafting process is different for every item. It takes different amounts of time, has different material costs, and sometimes requires certain kinds of spellcasters to even perform the rituals required to enchant the item.

Jesters Bladework

Prerequisite: You must have the Sword Juggler feat
Using light weapons has become your passion. When in combat with weapons of this sort you are a flurry of bouncy yet precise blades. This training grants you the following list of features.

• Any non-two handed weapons you wield are considered to have the thrown property, with a range of 30/60. Light weapons that gain the thrown property in this way have a thrown range of 45/90.
• When you make a thrown weapon attack within the normal range of the weapon bring thrown, you may throw it in a way where it will bounce back. Upon making a thrown weapon attack you may use your reaction to throw a bouncing attack. If you hit, make a Acrobatics check with a DC of 15 to see if you catch the weapon. If you fail, the weapon instead lands at your feet.

Natural Blindness

Prerequisite: None, can be taken for free at character creation, cannot be taken at any point past that.
Some people grow up blind, and even then, thirst for adventure. This feat can only be taken if your character was born naturally blind, and grew up learning to deal with that.

Because of this, you gain the following traits, that are lost if your sight is ever returned to you.

• You are permanently under the effects of the blindness condition. This condition can only be restored by the regenerate spell.
• You have begun to adapt to this blindness though, and because of this, you have advantage on all (Perception) Wisdom checks made using your hearing or smell.
• Attack rolls against you do not have advantage as per the blindness condition if they are made within 5ft of you, or you can hear the oncoming attack, and vice versa, you do not have disadvantage attacking creatures if they are within 5ft of you or you can perceive them in some other way. (Ex. blindsight, tremorsense)
• You are vulnerable to thunder damage, and you make all Constitution saving throws that would involve assaults against your hearing, or smell (Ex; A loud screech, or poisonous gas.) with disadvantage.

Natural Deafness

Prerequisite: None, can be taken for free at character creation, but cannot be taken at any point past that.
You've never been able to hear, and with that, have adapted to dealing with that struggle. You gain the following features to reflect that, that are lost if your hearing is restored to you.

• You are permanently under the effects of the Deafened condition. This condition can only be restored by the regenerate spell.
• You have begun to adapt to this deafness though, and because of this, your passive perception is increased by 5 when the target rolling against it is in your line of sight.
• Attack rolls made against you from targets you cannot see have advantage regardless of whether or not they are hidden from you.
• You are vulnerable to radiant damage from visual sources, and have disadvantage on Constitution saving throws against sources that are entirely visual. (Ex. Sunburst, or Color Spray)
• People who grew up deaf, learn to communicate. Sign language isn't universal. So, your character begins knowing their own unique sign language. It could be regional, or universal, or even created by the character, depending on where they grew up. This sign language functions as purely visual way of communicating. You can teach another creature this language in the same amount of downtime it would take to learn a regular language.

One Armed

Prerequisite: None, can be taken for free at character creation if your character is only has one arm, or as a regular feat for a character who has been with a single arm for more than 30 days.
At some point in your life, you lost an arm, but your remaining arm has learned to catch up. When this feat is taken. This features benefits only apply to your remaining arm, and this feat grants you nothing if you ever have more than one arm.

• You are considered to have +2 to your Strength and Dexterity Scores when making saving throws, attack rolls, or ability checks that only require the use of your single arm, regardless of the stats normal maximum.

Situational Awareness

Prerequisite: A character taking this feat must have the Natural Blindness feat beforehand.
You have become more adjusted to your lack of vision, and therefore gain the following traits to reflect this. If the Natural Blindness feat is ever lost, this feat persists anyway.

• You only gain the benefits of this feature whilst under the blindness condition.
• As long as you can hear, you have a blindsight with a range of 30ft, and a tremorsense with a range of 10ft.
• You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws made against sources within 60ft of you that you can hear.
• You gain the ability to focus your senses for short periods of time. As a bonus action, you can go into this ultra-sensitive trance. In this state, the range of your blindsight and tremorsense is doubled, you gain advantage on Dexterity saving throws made against sources within 120ft of you that you can hear instead of 60ft, and you gain an additional reaction between turns. This trance ends after 1 minute. This ability can only be used once, and you regain the ability to do so on a short or long rest.

Sociopathy

Prerequisite: None, can be taken for free at character creation, but cannot be taken at any point past that.
Near emotionless, life is your game, and everyone is your pawn. You gain the following features to reflect your lack of conscience or empathy.

• You are immune to all instances of non-magical charmed, and frightened conditions.
• Your lack of empathy often scares or at least unnerves people, especially those who believed you had a heart. When you resist a effect that would charm or frighten you because of this ability, all allies that can see the event must make a wisdom saving throw with a DC equal to 20 - your bonus to Charisma (Deception), or be frightened of you for one minute. Creatures can attempt this saving throw again at the end of their turns.

Spokesmith Adept

Prerequisites: You must have the Spokesmith Initiate feat
Your crafting of vehicles, and love of the wheel have brought you quite far. You've been able to remove the kinks of your crafting, and polish your creations to the point of near perfection, because of this, you gain the following features.

• You may increase your Strength or your Intelligence by 1.
• Your crafting rate when crafting vehicles is now doubled, allowing you to craft at twice the speed you would normally. 20 gp per day with easily accessible parts, and 10 gp per day making them from scratch.
• Vehicles you make no longer have a chance to stall. As well as this, you may remove the stall chance from other vehicles. Doing this happens over the course of a day, and requires 100 gp of replacement parts. These parts can be made with smith's tools, and similarly to the Spokesmith Initiate feat, if you are crafting these parts from scratch, the repair takes two days instead of one.
• When you repair vehicles, you do so much quicker than the average person. Instead of needing to work on vehicles for a day, you instead allow vehicles to recover the hit points you would normally allow it to recover, but in an hour of work instead. You can only quickly repair a vehicle in this way three times, regaining the ability to do so again upon completing a long rest.

Spokesmith Initiate

Prerequisites: An Intelligence of 13 or higher
Whether it be out of love of locomotion, a need for speed, or something entirely different, you have begun to learn the complex and taxing art of crafting complex land vehicles. From bicycles to cars, with the right parts, you can create it.

• You may increase either your Strength or Intelligence by 1.
• You gain proficiency in mechanic's tools if you did not have them already. If you already had proficiency in them, your proficiency bonus is doubled when making ability checks with them.
• You now have the ability to craft vehicles, though shoddily, as long as you have the required blueprints. When crafting vehicles, you craft them at a rate of 10 gp of the vehicles gp value per day presuming the parts are easily accessible. If you need to create the parts from scratch, but have the materials required to do so. You craft these items at a rate of 5 gp per day in stead, taking roughly twice the amount of time a simple assembly would take. Making parts in this way requires smith's tools in addition to the required mechanic's tools.
• Vehicles made by you now have a chance to stall. Every 10 miles the vehicle travels, the DM must roll 1d20, and add the creator of the cars Intelligence modifier to the roll. The roll must match the DC of 15, or the vehicle stalls, and comes to a stop. If the vehicle had moved more than 200ft in the last round before the stall, the driver must roll a DC 15 driving check or lose control.
• You are able to repair vehicles that have been damaged over rather fluctuating periods of time. Over the course of a day, you may repair a vehicle, and it recovers 1d6 + your Intelligence modifier in hit points.

Sword Juggler

Prerequisite: A Dexterity score of 15 or higher
You've learned how to properly maneuver lighter weapons in ways most find inconvenient or ridiculous. This training grants you the following list of features.

• Any light weapons you wield are considered to have the thrown property as well, with a range of 20/60. If the weapon already had the thrown property, it's range is doubled.
• When you make a thrown weapon attack within the weapons normal range, the attack is considered to be a melee attack as well as a ranged attack for the purposes of other features.
• When you use two-weapon fighting with light or thrown weapons, you may add your dexterity to the damage rolls on top of any other bonuses you would normally add.

Titan's Grip

Prerequisite: You must have the Great Weapon Duelist feat
You have become rather talented at wielding great weapons on their own. Even more so, you have managed to grow skilled enough to wield two at once. This training has granted you the following features.

• While wielding two heavy melee weapons in either hand, you are able to use two-weapon fighting.
• You have learned to master using your weapons weight to your advantage, striking in quick succession, knocking people off guard. Every time you hit a creature with a heavy melee weapon, gain a stack of Overwhelm. You deal an additional 2 points of damage on all attacks made with heavy melee weapons for every stack of Overwhelm you have at the time of making the attack. You lose all of your stacks of Overwhelm at the beginning of your turns, or when you miss an attack.
• You can draw or stow two heavy weapons when you
  would normally be able to draw or stow only one.

Wingless

Prerequisite: None, can be taken for free at character creation if your character is missing wings they once had, or as a regular feat for a character who has been without their wings for more than 30 days.
You once had wings, but no longer do. You grew up able to fly, and the skies were yours, but this freedom has been taken away. You have learned to live with this, even in a world where everyone around you has it. You gain the following benefits because of this. This feat grants you nothing if you ever have wings.

• You have incredible air control. While falling, for every 5ft you fall, you can move 5ft in any direction.
• You have resistance to damage taken from falling.
• When making a running long jump, if you make a 20ft run up instead of a 10ft run, you may choose to jump up to double the distance you would normally be able to jump.

Racial Feats

Shadow Weaver

Prerequisite: Faded
You have delved down the path of manipulating the innate dark magic within you. You have harnessed the power of the dark more than any other ever could, and thusly gain the following features.

• You can increase or decrease the radius of the darkness created by your spells or magical effects by any amount when you cast the spell or as a bonus action, as long as it is no larger than double the original radius.
• When you cast a spell that would create magical darkness you can designate any number of creatures within 30 feet of you to be unaffected.
• Spells that you cast that would create darkness, cannot be dispelled or otherwise be negatively effected by light, magical or not.
• No creature is able to be blinded, take damage from, or gain any negative effect at all from an effect that would produce light whilst within magical darkness that you've created as your cold shadows completely shield those inside from any light that attempts to pass through.
• Your darkvision increases to a distance of 120 feet.

Oozefolk

Created from magic, oozefolk are the result of wizards or other powerful arcanists awakening the minds of the cave dwelling creatures known as Oozes. These creatures often do their best to fit into mortal society, but often fail. Treated as outcasts and monster for their appearance, oozefolk are usually quite solitary. Sticking only to themselves, or to small groups they have grown comfortable with.

Oozefolk Traits

Your oozefolk character has an assortment of inborn abilities, due to it's monster heritage and innate magical nature.

Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1.

Age. Oozefolk do not age. Much like their ooze counter-
-parts, they will live as long as they have adequate nourishment to sustain them.

Alignment. Oozes normally do not have alignments. They are often not intelligent enough to have that deep of a personality to have any form of moral struggle. Oozefolk can be any alignment, but are more often than not a similar alignment to their creator.

Size. The spell that awakens oozefolk has a minimum, and maximum size that must be considered during the awakening or else the spell will fail. An oozefolks volume is within the range of 80 and 200 gallons. You are a Medium sized Ooze.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

Amorphous. You can move through spaces as narrow as 1 inch without squeezing, and cannot be knocked prone. Items that could not fit through these gaps cannot go with you.

Blindsight. Oozes do not have eyes, and neither do oozefolk. You can perceive your surroundings without relying                                           on sight withing a radius of 60 feet.
                                    This sight can see around corners, but
                                      not through solid objects. You are
                                  considered to be blind beyond that radius.                           You are also immune to the blinded condition.

                                          Magical Dependency. Oozefolk
                                                      are naturally dependent on
                                                  magic to keep their minds, and
                                                  because of the nature of your
                            creation, your intelligence is reduced to 1
                            and your dungeon master takes control of
                            your actions whilst inside of an Antimagic
                            Field or similar effect. Your dungeon master
                            should make the decisions they would
                            normally make for a hungry ooze.

                          Pseudopod Acidity. Your unarmed strikes
                          deal additional acid damage equal to half
                        of your Constitution modifier rounded up.

                    Shape Control. Though mostly liquid, oozefolk
                    have control over their body in ways that most
                creatures do not. This control allows you to take a
           vaguely humanoid form, allowing you to walk, run, and
      do things that would require hands and arms like wear shields, wield weapons, and operate machinery. You can alter your form in any way, but you remain a medium creature, and cannot have more than two appendages that can hold things.

 Languages. You know common, and one other language
    of your choice. This second language is more often than
                                  not the language of the creature that
                               created you.

                         Subrace. There are three common kinds of
                          oozes that are turned into oozefolk. Gelatinous
                         cubes, gray oozes, and ochre jellys. Choose one
                          of these subraces.

Gelatinous Cube

As a gelatinous cube oozefolk, you retain your previously transparent form, as well as your mass. Your substance is more outwardly acidic as well as more easily malleable than most of your kind, and those you hold feel that full burn of that potency.

Acid Grasp. Your form burns those that touch, as your acidic body corrodes the flesh of those you come in contact with. If a creature starts its turn whilst grappling or grappled by you, it takes 1d6 acid damage. This damage increases to 2d6 at 5th level, to 3d6 at 9th level, and to 4d6 at 13th level.

Transparent. Your body is entirely transparent, allowing light through without issue as long as you are still. Even when you are in plain sight, and wearing and holding nothing, it takes a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check to spot you if you have neither moved nor attacked. A creature that tries to enter your space while unaware of you is surprised by you.

Elastic Form. Your base walking speed increases to
35 feet.

Gray Ooze

Once stone, turned liquid by chaos, the gray oozefolk functions much like it's ooze counterpart, often forming a snake-like tail as apposed to legs as a way of moving around, slithering like a liquid snake.

Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases
by 1.

Corrosive Acid. When you hit a target that is wearing nonmagical metal armor with an unarmed strike, its armor is partly corroded and takes a permanent and cumulative -1 penalty to the ac it offers. You can only reduce an armors AC in this way once per round. Armor reduced in this way is destroyed if the penalty reduces its AC to 10.

False Appearance. While you remain motionless, you are indistinguishable from an oily pool, or wet rock. If you are in a creature like shape, you instead look like a wet statue.

Ochre Jelly

These yellow blobs are much more cunning than other brands of oozefolk, utilizing their liquid form to it's fullest potential in situations other oozefolk may hesitate in.

Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 2

Sticky Form. Your body is a natural adhesive. You have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. Additionally, you can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

In addition to the movement capabilities of this, you are unable to be unwillingly disarmed.

Racial Feat

Ooze Heritage

Prerequisite: Oozefolk
You have adapted to your new mind, as well as your form, and become capable of utilizing your amorphous and acidic being more than you were previously able to.

• Your unarmed strikes can deal 1d6 acid damage. If your unarmed strikes ever change, or you ever gain any natural weapons, regardless of the damage dice the damage type remains acid.
• You become resistant to both acid and slashing damage, as well as your choice of either cold, fire, or lightning.
• Though your magic previously weakened your immune system, you can now eat any organic material for sustenance, and are unable to gain diseases from food.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d12+2) piercing damage.

Deadly Synergy

At level 1, you and your bulette are already have become a terrifying hunting duo. Once per round, your bulette can deal an extra 1d8 damage to one creature it hits with an attack against a creature you can see while it can hear you, if it had attacked the creature from below them.

Your bulette does not need to attack from below if it had jumped at least 15 feet in a straight line as part of its movement and has not moved since, or the target was prone.

The amount of extra damage dealt is increased as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Deadly Synergy column of the Burrower table.

Burrower Gauntlets

When you reach 2nd level in this class, you gain the ability to use claw gauntlets (see the "Claw Gauntlets" sidebar) as a tool for digging and traversing the underground.

While you are wearing a claw gauntlet on each hand, you may use your action to burrow a distance equal to your walking speed as if you had a burrowing speed. If you end your turn underneath the ground you become restrained.

Claw Gauntlets

Claw gauntlets are a martial melee weapon made by creatures that either live in desert climates or in the underdark to use as weapons, as well as tools for digging. These claws are often modeled after bulette or umberhulk claws for greater efficiency.

Cost: 25 gp
Damage: 1d6 piercing
Properties: Light, special (detailed below)
Weight: 2 lb.

  Claw Gauntlets. You cannot be disarmed of these weapons, and when using them to dig through materials that could be burrowed threw you have advantage on any Strength (Athletics) checks required to do so.

Burrower's Clans

Based almost entirely within deserts, mountains, and in some cases the underdark, burrower clans are rather loosely tied together groups of hunters, explorers, and nomads who share their techniques, and knowledge of the fascinating bulette with one another.

Earth Strider

The clan dubbed Earth Striders is quite closely associated with the druidic circle of the land, specifically those tied to more earthen environments. They utilize their training with druidic styles of magic to manipulate the earth, and move through it with adept precision.

Using the beast and animal oriented styles of magic that druids often practice, striders also have unique bonds with their bulette companions that few other styles can match.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you have begun to weave the magic of the earth into your practices. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the druid spell list.

Spell Slots. The Earth Strider Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level druid spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the abjuration and divination spells on the druid spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Earth Strider Spellcasting table shows when you learn more druid spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an abjuration or divination 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 druid spells you know with another spell of your choice from the druid spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be an abjuration or divination spell, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level from any school of magic.

Spellcasting Ability. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since you learn your spells through your bond with nature. 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 druid 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 +

Earthen Stride

When you choose this clan at 3rd level you gain the ability to expend magic and propel yourself along or through the ground as if you were a bulette yourself, leaving the earth torn in your wake. As a bonus action you may expend a spell slot to propel yourself along the ground, or through as if you had a burrowing speed. When you do this, you may move up to 15 feet per level of the spell slot expended. Any natural surfaces you move along with this movement become difficult terrain, as the ground is shattered and shifted by your movement.

Earthen Bond

Upon reaching 5th level, your magic has begun to intertwine with your bulettes in ways that are normally only matched by the bond between a powerful wizard and their magical companions. When you cast a spell that only targets you, you can choose to have it also target your bulette companion.

Earthen Armor

Once you have reached 9th level you have begun to resonate more with the earth and stone around you as you cast. When you use your action to cast a leveled spell, you may use your bonus action to cause the earth beneath you to resonate and rise to protect you. When you do this, if you are stood on a surface made of stone, earth, sand, or similar natural material you gain a bonus to your armor class equal to the level of the spell cast until the beginning of your next turn.

Earthen Resolve

Upon reaching 13th level, your mind has become sturdy like stone, and your resolve is thus. You may add your Wisdom modifier to your saving throws made to resist having your concentration broken.

Earthen Body

At 17th level your control over stone has peaked. You may cast the spell investiture of stone once without expending a spell slot, regaining the ability to do so again upon successfully completing a long rest.

Land Surfer

One of the more prominent and well known burrower's clans is the most well known as the Land Surfers. They are known best for their combat prowess, keeping atop desert dunes as their bulettes skulk beneath the sands waiting to strike their prey. They are adept warriors, fighting much more like hunters than the survivalists that take to other clans.

Grounded Flanking

At 3rd level when you choose this clan, you and your bulette have begun to fight together like a true unit. You and your bulette have advantage on all attack rolls against a creature if both you and your bulette are within 5 feet of the creature and, and you and your bulette are on different elevations.

Coordinated Assault

By 5th level, you and your bulette companion have learned to work as a team to tear apart your enemies. When you use the Attack action on your turn, if your bulette companion can see you and reach the target of that attack, it can use its reaction to make a bite attack at the target.

Land Gliding

Upon reaching 9th level, the ability to glide over the top of the earth, also known as land surfing, has been passed on to and mastered by you. When you begin to move you can use your bonus action to begin surfing upon the stone until the beginning of your next turn. When you do this, you may move over stone, earth, sand, and other similar natural surfaces with ease, having it cost half as much movement to move over such surfaces.

Lunging Strike

At 13th level, you have had lots of time to practice and master the art of land gliding, you may use that momentum to your advantage. When you hit a creature with an attack after moving at least 10 feet in a straight line, the attack deals an additional 1d6 damage for each 10 feet you moved this turn before making the attack, to a maximum of an additional 5d6.

Commanding Surge

Once you have reached 17th level, you can command your bulette to push itself beyond its normal limits for a moment. On its turn, if your bulette can see or hear you your bulette can take one additional action on top of your regular action and a possible bonus action.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Tunnel Shark

The smallest of the more prominent burrower clans are commonly referred to as Tunnel Sharks. They are renowned for their synergy with their bulettes, and their ability to with stand the earth that their bulettes pull them through. They are commonly more naturally inclined, and empathetic. Their empathy is almost a requirement to bond this much with such powerful and incredible creatures, though some others do so by implementing fear tactics.

Deadly Initiation

Upon reaching 17th level, your bulettes ability to pounce forth from the earth and take down it's prey has become unmatched by other creatures of its kind. When your bulette hits a surprised creature with a bite attack, the attack is considered to be a critical hit.

Huntsman

Rough and wild looking, a human stalks alone through the shadows of trees, hunting the orcs he knows are planning a raid on a nearby farm. Clutching a shortsword in each hand, he becomes a whirlwind of steel, cutting down one enemy after another.

After tumbling away from a cone of freezing air, an elf finds her feet and draws back her bow to loose an arrow at the white dragon. Shrugging off the wave of fear that emanates from the dragon like the cold of its breath, she sends one arrow after another to find the gaps between the dragon’s thick scales.

Holding his hand high, a half-elf whistles to the hawk that circles high above him, calling the bird back to his side. Whispering instructions in Elvish, he points to the owlbear he’s been tracking and sends the hawk to distract the creature while he readies his bow.

Far from the bustle of cities and towns, past the hedges that shelter the most distant farms from the terrors of the wild, amid the dense-packed trees of trackless forests and across wide and empty plains, huntsmen keep their unending watch.

Independent Adventurers

Though a huntsman might make a living as a hunter, a guide, or a tracker, a huntsman’s true calling is to defend the outskirts of civilization from the ravages of monsters and humanoid hordes that press in from the wild. In some places, huntsmen gather in secretive orders or join forces with druidic circles. Many huntsmen, though, are independent almost to a fault, knowing that, when a dragon or a band of orcs attacks, a huntsman might be the
first—and possibly the last—line of
defense for those that need it.

This fierce independence makes hunts-
-man well suited to adventuring, since they
are accustomed to life far from the com forts
of a dry bed and a hot bath. Faced with city-bred
adventurers who grouse and whine about the
hardships of the wild, huntsmen respond with
some mixture of amusement, frust-
-ration, and compassion.

Revised-Revised Ranger

This is my personal take on the Ranger class. I used the original ranger, the spell-less ranger, and the revised ranger all as references when designing this, but in the end, went mostly off of my own ideas. There was a good bit of thought put into a lot of the abilities and changes. The biggest, being my removal of spellcasting from the class. I don't believe that rangers should be able to cast, I think it both removes from their power budget and waters down the strength of the theme that the class is meant to be.
I also added a combat mechanic. Every other martial class has a martial ability that makes them special. Divine Smite, Rage, Ki, Sneak Attack. Ranger has none of that. I created the Hunters Stance ability to add to the rangers idea that they are specified in their combat, instead of the more broad combat skills of a fighter.

Favored Terrain

You are particularly familiar with one type of natural Environment and are adept at traveling and surviving in such regions. Choose one type of favored terrain: arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or the underdark.

When you make an Intelligence or Wisdom check related to your favored terrain, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you're proficient in.

While traveling for an hour or more in your favored terrain, you gain the following benefits:

• Difficult terrain doesn't slow your group's travel.
• Your group can't become lost except by magical means.
• Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.

• If you are traveling alone, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
• When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
• While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

Additionally, when simply within your favored terrain, you gain the following benefits:

• You have advantage on initiative rolls.
• You are able to take advantage of cover more than the average person. Half cover instead grants the benefits of three quarters cover, and three quarters cover grants the benefits of full cover.
• You are immune to the negative effects of non-magical difficult terrain.
• You have advantage on all Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
• All plant creatures native to your favored terrain are considered to be favored prey.

You choose an additional favored terrain type at 6th level, and another at 10th level.

Hunting Stance

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to take on styles of fighting known as hunting stances. You may enter a hunting stance as a bonus action, and it lasts until you enter a second one, or until you begin a turn and have not attacked since the beginning of your last. Choose two of the following hunting stances to learn. You learn an additional hunting stance at 5th level, at 9th level, and at 13th level. Once you have entered a stance the maximum number of times for your huntsman level, you must finish a short or long rest before you can enter a stance again. You may use this feature one time at 2nd, two times at 3rd level, three at 7th, four at 12th, and five at 17th.

Pursuer's Stance

You enter a hunters stance. You trail your enemies, and move with apex's purpose. Whilst in this stance you gain the following effects:

• When you move at least 20 feet in a straight line right before hitting with a weapon attack, the creature hit by the attack must make a Strength saving throw against a DC of 10 or half of the damage you dealt, whichever is higher, or have their movement speed halved until the beginning of your next turn.
• When you make an opportunity attack against a member of your favored prey, you may instead make as many attacks as you would with the attack action instead of being limited to one attack, as if it was your turn.

Scout's Stance

You enter a sprinters stance. With each step you propel yourself further as you attempt to make distance, and position tactically. Whilst in this stance you gain the following effects:

• Your stance does not end if you do not attack. Instead, it ends if you go a turn without taking the Dash action.
• Members of your favored prey are unable to make opportunity attacks against you. Other creatures instead have disadvantage on opportunity attacks they make againsts you.
• You may move through your enemy spaces occupied by members of your favored prey freely if they are a size category or more larger than you.

Stalker's Stance

You enter a killers stance. You move silently, and in this movement prepare yourself to pounce with all the precision you need to end your foes swiftly and effectively. Whilst in this stance you gain the following effects:

• When you hit a creature that you were hidden from with a weapon attack, they must make a Constitution saving throw against a DC of 10 or half of the damage you dealt, whichever is higher, or fall prone.
• When you hit a prone or restrained member of your favored prey with a weapon attack, the attack becomes a critical hit.

Survivalists Movement

Starting at 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing heavy armor if you are within your favored terrain. You instead gain half of the this bonus to your movement (rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5) when you are not within your favored terrain. This bonus increases when you reach certain Huntsman levels, as shown in the Huntsman table.

Huntsman Archetype

At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate, such as the Beast Master. Your choice grants features at 3rd level, and again at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th level.

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.

The number of attacks increases to three when you reach the 13th level in this class.

Trained Perseverance

Beginning at 9th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of, or physically withstand the force of certain area effects caused by members of your favored prey, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an demiliches life drain. When you are subjected to an effect by a member of your favored prey, that allows you to make a saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Ranger's Intuition

When you gain this feature at 13th level, you gain the ability to tell immediately if a creature is a member of your favored prey. A creature disguised in any way, magically or non-magically, cannot avoid this detection. You simply become immediately aware of the creature type of any creature that you can see if they are a member of your favored prey.

Additionally, when traveling through your favored terrain for more than an hour, you know if any members of your favored prey have passed through here within the past day. If you become aware of any creatures in this way, you know what size they are, how many, and which direction they were heading.

Hunters Flurry

Beginning at 17th level, you may expend one of your uses of Hunters Stance, to make a quick flurry of strikes. When you do this, as a bonus action you may make two attacks.

Feral Senses

At 18th level, you gain preternatural senses that help you fight creatures you can't see. When you attack a creature you can't see, your inability to see it doesn't impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it. You are also aware of the location of any invisible creature within 30 feet of you, provided that the creature isn't hidden from you and you aren't blinded or deafened.

Huntsman Archetypes

Beast Master

The Beast Master archetype embodies a friendship between the civilized races and the beasts of the world. United in focus, beast and ranger work as one to fight the monstrous foes that threaten civilization and the wilderness alike.

Tame Companion

At 3rd level, you learn to use your trained abilities to create a powerful bond with a creature of the kind which you stalk.

You gain the ability to attempt to tame your favored prey and make them loyal. Depending on the kind of creature, this may be in different ways. If your favored prey is a humanoid or similar, than you can consider this archetype more of a slaver than a beast master.

If you successfully befriend, capture, or detain a member of your favored prey that is a CR of 1/5th your level or lower, you may spend your days taming and training it to become a loyal servant of yours. Whether this be friendly or not, it is effective. For each day that you spend with a creature in this way, you may attempt either a Charisma (Persuasion) or Charisma (Intimidation) check if you share a language with it, or a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check if you do not. The DC you must meet is equal to 12 + twice the creatures CR. If the creature had a life, family, or reason to not follow you, and has an intelligence of 6 or higher, you are unable to tame them with persuasion or animal handling.

After a successful check, the creature becomes your companion, and gains all the benefits of your Companion's Bond ability. You can have only one companion at a time. You may dismiss a companion over the course of 10 minutes alone with it. Creatures dismissed in this way that were tamed with intimidation must be re-tamed from scratch if you ever wish to have them as a companion again. Ones tamed with animal handling or persuasion can be re-tamed simply as an action.

If your companion is ever slain, you must either tame a new one, or resurrect it as you would anything else. A resurrected companion is still considered to be tamed by you.

Companion's Bond

Upon reaching 3rd level, your time taming your companion has brought you guys closer, and gifted you both as a duo a new level of synergy. Your companion gains a number of benefits while it is tamed by you, detailed below.

If your companion had the multiattack feature, it becomes unable to use it unless another ability specifically allows it to. Otherwise, it keeps the statistics it had otherwise before taming it, with the exception that it uses your proficiency bonus instead of it's own.

The companion obeys your commands as best it can. It rolls for initiative like any other creature. If it's Intelligence is lower than 6, you determine its actions, decisions, attitudes, and so on. Otherwise, your Dungeon Master does so. If you are incapacitated or absent, your companion acts on its own, focusing on protecting you and itself.

Upon taming a companion, you may teach it two skills that you are proficient in that it then also becomes proficient in.

Your companion benefits from both your Favored Prey and Favored Terrain features as if they had them.

Like any creature, the beast can spend hit dice during a short rest, heal on long rests, and do anything else a normal creature would do.

Mirrored Style

Upon reaching 7th level in this class, Your companion pays attention to your every move, and begins to fight just like you do. Your companion gains any benefits that you gain whilst in a stance as per the Hunting Stance feature.

Companion's Fury

Upon reaching 11th level, When your companion takes the Attack action, the creature can attack twice, or take the Multiattack action if it had that action.

Uncanny Coordination

Beginning at 15th level, when an attacker that you can see hits your companion with an attack, you can call out a warning. If your companion can hear you, it can use its reaction to halve the attack's damage against it. In addition to this, it can do the same for you. If you are hit with an attack, it can call out a similar warning, allowing you to use your reaction to halve the attack's damage just as it would.

Eternal Companion

Upon reaching 20th level, you have gained the ability to designate your companion to be your eternal companion. If you have been bonded to the same companion for more than a month, you can use this feature on them. Over the course of a long rest, you can perform a small ceremony with your companion to mark them as forever. You mark them in some way, whether with a tattoo, scar, or even a ring, scarf, or distinguishable piece of clothing. Whilst bonded to you in this way, your companion gains a number of additional benefits.

Hunter

Emulating the Hunter archetype means accepting your place as a bulwark between civilization and the terrors of the wilderness. As you walk the Hunter's path, you learn specialized techniques for fighting the threats you face, from rampaging ogres and hordes of orcs to towering giants and terrifying dragons.

Gloom Stalker

Gloom Stalkers are at home in the darkest places: deep under the earth, in gloomy alleyways, in primeval forests, and wherever else the light dims. Most folk enter such places with trepidation, but a Gloom Stalker ventures boldly into the darkness, seeking to ambush threats before they can reach the broader world. Such huntsmen are often found in the Underdark, but they will go any place where evil lurks in the shadows.

Umbral Sight

At 3rd level, you gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision from your race, its range increases by 30 feet.

You are also adept at evading creatures that rely on darkvision. While in darkness, you are considered invisible to any creature that relies on darkvision to see you in that darkness.

Iron Mind

By 7th level, you have honed your ability to resist the mind-altering powers of your prey. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. If you already have this proficiency, you instead gain proficiency in Intelligence or Charisma saving throws (your choice).

Stalker's Flurry

At 11th level, you learn to attack with such unexpected speed that you can turn a miss into another strike. Once on each of your turns when you miss with a weapon attack, you can make another weapon attack as part of the same action.

Shadowy Dodge

Starting at 15th level, you can dodge in unforeseen ways, with wisps of supernatural shadow around you. Whenever a creature makes an attack roll against you and doesn't have advantage on the roll, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on it. You must use this feature before you know the outcome of the attack roll.

Stalker's Reflexes

When you reach 20th level, you have become adept at laying ambushes and quickly escaping danger. You can take two turns during the first round of any combat. You take your first turn at your normal initiative and your second turn at your initiative minus 10. You can't use this feature when you are surprised. You may use Dread Ambusher on each of these turns, as if each was your first turn in the combat.

Ranger

Ranger's are like Huntsman, but worse. They instead of learning how to hunt well, and fight better, waste their time learning magic. This subclass is for people who really want to use the mechanics of the old ranger, but don't want the class itself to cripple the playability of their character.

Hunter's Mark

When you take this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the ability to plant a magical mark on your enemies. Casting this mark takes a bonus action, and expends a 1st level spell slot. Target a creature within 90 feet of you, and until the effect ends, you deal an extra 1d6 damage to a creature you can see whenever you hit it with a weapon attack, and you have advantage on Perception and Survival checks to find it. If the target drops to 0 hit points before this effect ends, you can use a bonus action on a subsequent turn to mark a new creature. This ability lasts one hour, and you must concentrate on it like you would a spell.

You may use this ability using a spell slot higher than first. Doing so at 2nd or 3rd level, allows you to concentrate on the ability for up to 8 hours. If you use a slot of 4th level or higher, you can concentrate for up to 24 hours.

Primeval Awareness

Beginning at 7th level, you can use your action and expend a spell slot to focus your awareness on the region around you. By spending 1 uninterrupted minute in concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you can sense whether any of your favored enemies are present within 1 mile of you (6 miles if you are within your favored terrain). This feature reveals which of your favored enemies are present, their numbers, and the creatures' general direction and distance (in miles) from you.

If there are multiple groups of your favored enemies within range, you learn this information for each group.

Cordon of Arrows

Upon reaching 7th level, you have learned a special technique to allow you to protect the lands you claim. As an action you plant up to four pieces of nonmagical ammunition (arrows or crossbow bolts) in the ground within 5 feet of you and expend a 1st level spell slot and lay magic upon them to protect an area. For the next 8 hours, whenever a creature other than you comes within 30 feet of the ammunition for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there, one piece of ammunition flies up to strike it. The creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your ranger spell save DC or take 1d6 piercing damage. The piece of ammunition is then destroyed. The effect ends when no ammunition remains.

When you use this ability, you can designate any creatures you choose, and this ability ignores them. You may use this ability using a spell slot higher than first. If you do the amount of ammunition that can be affected increases by four for each slot level above 1st.

Conjure Barrage

Upon reaching level 11, Your magical combat skills have allowed you to weave together your ranged fighting, and your casting. As an action, you can expend a 2nd level or higher spell slot, and throw a nonmagical weapon or fire a piece of nonmagical ammunition into the air to create a cone of identical weapons that shoot forward and then disappear. Each creature in a 60-foot cone starting from you must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your ranger spell save DC. A creature takes 3d8 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The damage type is the same as that of the weapon or ammunition used as a component.

Conjure Volley

Starting at 15th level, You have began to hone your magical manipulation of ammunition to an art. You may as an action expend a 3rd level or higher spell slot to fire a piece of nonmagical ammunition from a ranged weapon or throw a nonmagical weapon into the air and choose a point within 150 feet of you. Hundreds of duplicates of the ammunition or weapon fall in a volley from above and then disappear. Each creature in a 40-foot-radius. 20-foot-high cylinder centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw against your ranger spell save DC. A creature takes 8d8 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The damage type is the same as that of the ammunition or weapon.

Swift Quiver

Upon reaching 20th level, you have learned an extremely powerful magical ability that allows you to enchant your quiver with incredible arcane properties. As a bonus action, you may expend a 4th level spell slot to transmute your quiver so it produces an endless supply of nonmagical ammunition, which seems to leap into your hand when you reach for it.

On each of your turns until the effect ends, you can use a bonus action to make two attacks with a weapon that uses ammunition from the quiver. Each time you make such a ranged attack, your quiver magically replaces the piece of ammunition you used with a similar piece of nonmagical ammunition. Any pieces of ammunition created by this spell disintegrate when the spell ends. If the quiver leaves your possession, the spell ends. This effect lasts for up to one minute, and you must concentrate on it like you would a spell.

Martial Archetypes

At 3rd level, a fighter gains the martial archetype feature. The following options is available to a fighter, in addition to those offered in the Player's Handbook.

Augmented Inventor

Augmented bodies are that of an inventors dream, and very few have the bodies, minds, and souls strong enough to follow through with such drastic changes to their body. A select few often known as Augmented Inventors are that exception, and are wildly known as extraordinary. Known for their similarity to constructed creatures, but with the autonomy of a mortal, they are truly terrifying warriors.

Inventive Augmentation

Upon taking this archetype at 3rd level, you have finally accomplished a feat that few others do. You manage to hone your skill in construction enough that you can create technical marvels useful enough to be used on the battlefield.

Inventive Augmentations. You create and install into yourself two Inventive Augmentations, which are detailed under "Inventive Augmentations" below. You cannot take the same augmentation more than once, unless it says specifically that you are able to do so in the augmentation description.

You create and add one additional Inventive Augmentations at 7th, 10th, and 15th level.

Saving Throws. Some of your inventions require your target to make a saving throw to resist the inventions effects, The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Augmentation save DC = 8 + your proficinecy bonus +
your Intelligence modifier

Mechanical Mind

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Tinkerer's Tools, and can add double your proficiency bonus to checks made with them, and related to knowledge about the things they create.

Mechanical Body

Upon reaching 7th level, you have slowly been adjusting and adding to your physical augmentations, and their effects on your body have made you more machine than mortal. You are considered to be a construct rather than a humanoid.

Constructed Physicality

Once you have reached level 10 you have augmented your body so much, that weapons that strike you more often than not strike metal before flesh. You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons that are not adamantine.

Mechanical Soul

Upon reaching level 15, your body is so much more machine than mortal that your body really only needs maintenance to function. You cease to physically and visibly age.

Masterwork Augmentation

At 18th level you have completed an augmentation to put all others to shame. Choose one of the following masterwork augmentations and gains it's benefits and effects. This choice cannot be changed after it has been made.

Magitech Frame. Your body is magically infused and is thusly resistant to magic that attempts to effect or harm you. You gain advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.

Soul Furnace. Your chest burns with a furnace that fuels you. You no longer need to eat food to survive, you instead must consume an equal amount of flammable objects to fuel your fire each day or suffer the effects of starvation. You are immune to fire damage. Whenever you would be dealt 10 or more fire damage at one time, you may expend a number hit dice as if you had short rested equal to the fire damage that you would have taken divided by 10.

Wings of Progress. Large leathery wings along metal frames protrude from your back, folding and unfolding at will as if a part of you. You gain a flying speed of 60 feet. Armor does not impede this flying so long as a person proficient in smith's or leatherworker's tools, whichever appropriate to the armor type, has spent a period of one hour making the proper modifications to the armor to accommodate for your wings.

Inventive Augmentations

The list of Inventive Augmentations are presented in alphabetical order, with all relevant details included.

Arm Shield. A shield is built into your arm, that springs forth on command. Choose one of your arm. That arm as a arm shield installed into it. As a bonus action you may activate your arm shield, causing it to slide out of your arm. To gain the benefits of having this shield equipped, you cannot be holding anything in the hand that the arm shield is on. An arm shield acts just like a normal shield in every way.

Back Glider. Within your back is a set of leathery fabric wings, which on command may spring forth to save you from a devastating descent. As a reaction to falling you may activate these wings. When you do this, you may reduce the rate of falling to a speed of 60 feet per round until the wings are retracted as a bonus action. As you descend this 60 feet you may choose to move any distance you'd like horizontally in any direction up to 60 feet.

Bodily Carapace. Above or below your skin is a series of layers of metal plate or hardened leather. Your unarmored armor class becomes and cannot be below 16, instead of the usual 10 + your Dexterity modifier.

Weapon Growth

At level 10, your bonded weapons begin to grow alongside you as you develop your arcane talents. Whenever you bond to a weapon with your Weapon Bond feature, choose one of the enchantments detailed below to apply to the weapon being bonded to. As a bonus action you can activate your weapons enchantment, which lasts for 1 minute. You cannot activate an enchantment on that weapon again until the next dawn.

Improved War Magic

At level 10, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action whenever you use your action to cast a spell. You no longer have disadvantage on this bonus action attack if the first attack required an attack roll.

Arcane Recharge

At level 15, you gain the ability to recharge your bonded weapons enchantments with a small ritual. This ritual takes 10 minutes, and once done allows it to be activated again as if a dawn had passed, and cannot be done again until you have completed a short or long rest.

Improved Weapon Growth

Upon reaching level 18, your weapon enchantments begin to peak, as is your magical training. Each weapon enchantment now brings with it a little bit more potency, detailed below.

Antimagic Aura. Attacks made against spellcasters with this weapon now have advantage.

Enhancement. This weapon now grants a +2 bonus instead of a +1 to attack and damage rolls made with it.

Dancing. Your dancing weapon can now move 60 feet when you command it to, and no longer has a limit to the number of attacks it can make before needing to be returned to you.

Elemental Attunement. Your weapon now deals an additional 2d6 of its elemental damage instead of the 1d6 damage of its elemental type it did before.

Life Stealer. Your weapon now always steals the life of your victoms, functioning the same way. When you deal damage with this weapon, you heal an amount equal to half of what was rolled on the weapons base damage die.

Pact Knight

The patrons of the multiverse often make pacts with mortal beings in exchange for their will being enacted on the planes. They grant power, magic, and knowledge to those that they make pacts with. The beings these patrons make deals with are known as warlocks. Sometimes, however, the less magically inclined will find themselves at a table, with a contract in front of them, and sign anyway, regardless of their lack of arcane ability. These pact empowered brutes are known as Pact Knights. Pact knights use their patron's magic on the front lines of battle, fighting as a martial champion of their patron, and as a force of strength amongst their servants that dwell among the material.

Pact Magic

When you reach 3rd level, you forge a pact with a powerful being, and are granted the ability to cast spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the warlock spell list.

Cantrips. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. You learn an additional warlock cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Spell Slots. The Pact Knight Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your Pact Knight spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level warlock spells of your choice. The Spells Known column of the Pact Knight Spellcasting table shows when you learn more warlock spells of 1st level or higher. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the warlock spells you know with another spell of your choice from the warlock spell list. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level.

Spellcasting Ability. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Pact Knight spells, so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Pact Knight 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

Champions Patron

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, choose a Warlock patron. You gain that patrons 1st level otherworldly patron feature, and said patron is now your chosen patron for the purposes of your Pact Knight features. Additionally, you get access to that patrons expanded spell list when choosing your Pact Knight known spells.

War Magic

At level 3, you can use your action to cast a cantrip and make one weapon attack as a bonus action. If you already made a attack as part of the cantrip, you make the bonus action attack at disadvantage.

Patron's Boon

At level 7, your bond with your patron grows stronger, and you gain access to that patrons 6th level otherworldly patron feature. This growth continues as you level. Upon reaching 14th level you gain access to that patrons 10th level feature, and at 18th you gain access to it's 14th level feature.

Improved War Magic

At level 10, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action whenever you use your action to cast a spell. You no longer have disadvantage on this bonus action attack if the first attack required an attack roll.

Roguish Archetypes

At 3rd level, a rogue gains the roguish archetype feature. The following options is available to a rogue, in addition to those offered in the Player's Handbook.

Delinquent

Delinquents are the kind of people you don't make eye contact with when you walk down the street. The kids who when you see bunched up in an alley, or crowded around a clerk in a store, you know to just keep on walking. Rogues who travel down this path of expertise are masters in the art of really making their neighborhoods their bitch, and showing those who pushed them down what's what.

Window Shopping

Upon reaching 3rd level, you've begun to master the streets like very few others can, and in doing so, have learned a number of techniques to match. You gain the ability to over the course of a short rest, scan a square mile of town or city for the shops and establishments that would hold the most valuables. This activity is considered light activity for the purposes of completing your short rest. Upon completing this short rest, you are aware of any businesses or establishments that have high gold value in goods on display, and if so, you learn what those items are and their individual values.

Breaking and Entering

Additionally at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in improvised weapons. When you hit a creature with a melee attack using a improvised weapon, simple weapon or unarmed strike, you can apply your sneak attack dice to the damage roll if the creature is surprised or you are in a grapple with the creature, and you do not have disadvantage on the attack. You may now also use all previously available ways to deal sneak attack damage with your unarmed strikes as well as improvised weapons. Additionally, When dealing damage to objects, you always apply your sneak attack damage to the damage rolls. This rolled sneak attack damage does not count against the one iteration of sneak attack you are normally allowed to apply to attacks per turn.

Sucker Punch

Upon reaching 9th level, you have began to really get the hang of catching people off guard. You know how to take opportunities and strike when it's least expected to get a one up on your opponent. When initiative is rolled, you may roll a Charisma (Deception) check as well, against the initiative rolls of all other creatures within the combat. Any creature thats initiative is less than your Deception roll is considered to have been surprised by this engagement.

Break Off

Once you've reached 13th level, when you hit a creature with an improvised weapon that is the same size category as them or smaller, you can choose to attempt to break the weapon off on them. If the damage you deal would also break the item, the items is destroyed, and the attack deals additional damage equal to the hit points the item had before the attack was made.

Full Fledged Brawler

At 17th level, your ability to hold your own in a fist fight is unmatched. You can now apply your sneak attack damage to any unarmed strike or improvised weapon attack that you make. When you hit a creature with an unarmed striked or improvised weapon that is surprised, or grappled, the attack is considered a critical hit.

Fields of Study

At 3rd level, a tinkerer gains the field of study feature. The following options is available to a tinkerer, in addition to those offered in the tinkerer document.

Magitop Technician

Out there in the multiverse, there is an organizationg of people who have dedicated their lives to the study, and perfection of magical trinkets called Magitops.

Genius Sparks

Tinkerer Level	Spells
3rd	Zephyr Strike
5th	Find Constructed Familiar
9th	Tiny Servant
13th	Hallucinatory Terrain
17th	Steel Wind Strike

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this field of study at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the heavy armor and shields.

Magitop Construction

Upon reaching 3rd level, you have mastered the art of constructing a type of magical battle construct known as a Magitop. Magitops are small 5 or so inch wide spinning tops imbued with various kinda of magic to produce different effects on the battle field. You gain the ability to construct a Magitop as an action. Do to so, you must have a Magitop core, shell, and frame, as well as a set of tinkerer's tools to put them together with, and an affect engine to power it with. Similarly, you can spend one minute dismantling a Magitop, separating it into it's seperate parts. Different effect engines effect your Magitops performance in different ways, displayed in a chart below. Magitops have a base stat black included in this document, that is altered by the parts used to construct it. You also gain the ability to construct Magitop parts. Doing so requires different gold amounts per part based on the following charts, and are constructed like any other item, using tinkerer's tools.

Context: This subclass is designed for the Tinkerer class that I am quite a big fan of, linked here.

Core

Magitop cores are small cork sized rotors. When building a rotor the technician need to balance how long they want it to last, and how quick they want it to move. It's a game of balancing weight, whilst keeping a good battery capacity.

Type	Value	Magitop Hit Dice	Speed
Light	50gp	1d6	60ft
Medium	50gp	1d8	40ft
Heavy	50gp	1d10	20ft

Shell

Magitop shells are the outer ring of the Magitop. Often named after swords, the Magitiop shell's quality determines the damage that a Magitop can deal.

Type	Value	Magitop Damage Dice
'Dagger'	25gp	1d4
'Short Sword'	100gp	1d6
'Long Sword'	250gp	1d8
'Great Sword'	1000gp	2d6

Frame

Magitop frames, though often unseen, are one of the most important parts of a Magitops combative ability. Similarly named after Shields, they determine how resilient a Magitop can be, and how protected the core inside is.

Type	Value	Magitop Base Armor Class
'Buckler'	25gp	11
'Targe Shield'	100gp	12
'Kite Shield'	250gp	14
'Tower Shield'	1000gp	16

Engine Used

Type	Effect
Flame Engine	The Magitop deals an additional 1d6 fire damage on it's melee weapon attacks.
Lightning Engine	The Magitop deals an additional 1d4 lightning damage on it's melee weapon attacks. This damage increases by 1d4 for every iteration of 20ft it moves in a straight line this turn.
Cold Engine	The Magitop deals an additional 1d4 cold damage on it's melee weapon attacks. Additionally, as the Magitop moves it leaves behind a trail of icey difficult terrain in any area it moves through that lasts until the beginning of it's next turn.

Actions

Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: Dexterity + Proficiency to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: Shell Damage Dice + Dexterity

Magitop Activation

At 3rd level, you learn to use and control Magitops. You can teach others how to use Magitops as well, as if it was a weapon proficiency. A creature who knows how to use Magitops can activate one as their action. When they do this, the Magitops stats are altered slightly based on the user. The user's Dexterity becomes the Magitops Dexterity, and the Magitops health is rolled. To roll the Magitops health, roll an amount of the Magitops hit dice (which are determined by the Magitops core at construction) equal to the creator of the Magitops Tinkerer level, and use what you rolled as the Magitops new hit point maximum. At the end of each of your turns, your Magitop loses 2 hit points as it's spin begins to slow. If your Magitops movement speed is ever reduced to 0, it immediately drops to 0 hit points.

Once you've activated a Magitop, you enter a trance none as the 'Bladers Stance'. During your Bladers Stance, at the beginning of your turn you can use your action to immediately allow your Magitop to take their turn, doing so in the middle of your turn. You control all of the actions it does. If you do not use your action to control your Magitop, it does nothing during that round, staying in place. During your Bladers Stance, your movement speed is halved on turns you use your action to control your Magitop as you concentrate on controlling your Magitop. Your Bladers Stance ends when you choose to end it as a bonus action. Using your bonus action to do this, returns your Magitop to your hand as long as it could feasibly make it's way back to you with it's movement speed. If not, it just stops spinning.

Your Bladers Stance can also be ended by you losing your focus. Whenever you take damage you must make a constitution saving throw, with a DC of 10 or half of the damage taken, whichever is higher. If you fail this saving throw, your Bladers Stance ends, and your Magitop immediately stops spinning and is reduced to 0 hit points.

Fast Attack

Upon reaching 7th level, When your Magitop uses it's Attack action, it can make a second Strike attack as part of the same action. Upon reaching 15th level, your Magitop can make three attacks with it's attack action rather than two.

Magitop Imbuement

Also upon reaching 7th level, You may as a bonus action, imbue your Magitop with a spell. Choose a spell with a casting time of one action or bonus action. At some point before the end of your turn, your Magitop can cast the spell as normal, but using your Tinkerer spellcasting DC, and attack bonus instead of what would be its own. Additionally, you may use your Affect Discharge feature when your Magitop hits with an attack as if it was a weapon.

Magitop Spirit

Upon reaching 15th level, your Magitops can be built to house ancient spirits known as spirit dragons. A Magitop gains all of the features of it's spirit dragon whilst the creator of the Magitop controls it.

The Raven Prince

You wake up in a cold sweat, and your body aches. You slowly open your eyes. "It's been so long..." you think. Everything aches. It feels as though you haven't moved in years, everything is tense, but the tension only lasts a few moments before a warm breath is felt down your neck. "Welcome home, my child. You belong to me now." You turn your head to the voice but all your eyes find is a drifting cloud of black feathers slowly drifting to the ground, and that was when you felt it. The soft, slow compulsion to belong to someone. Every memory is replaced with one of ownership, and every loved one you once had was now him. A figure, dressed in blacks, adorned with silver. Large raven wings protruded from his back, and his eyes were a sharp silver. "How does it feel, to be one of my ravens?" He asked, and "Wonderful." was your truthful reply.

Eris Ravenprince, once a servant of The Raven Queen, once a servent of Abraxas, and also, once a servant of Vecna. Though yet to surpass them, Eris has gained power to the point that the mere limits of mortal magic do not bind him. Entire covens of hags come to his beck and call, Nightmare beg to carry him to his destinations, and the spiritual all simply obey. At some point in your life you met this man, whether that was a mistake or not is up to you, but that does not matter now. You are his. Every fiber of your being is tied to one of his many puppet strings. Though some of his servants call him friends, they are false in believing so. Aside for a very select few of chosen, Those that Eris makes pacts with are often purely out of boredom, or some alterior motive.

Always Watching

The Raven Prince is always watching, and he constantly keeps an eye on his ravens. At 6th level, you can cast the spell clarivoyance without expending a spell slot or needing material components, as long as the location is a place that would be reachable by a raven leaving your location if they attempted to reach there. Walls of force, deadly traps, and other similar things would block this ability.

Servants Title

At this point, the Raven Prince has begun to grow rather fond of you, or at least your usefulness. At level 10 you become one of his personal flock. Choose a title of some kind that would imply ownership, and that is his title for you now.

Your Raven Prince Replica now gains the following action:

My "___", Action, Four Charges
The Raven Prince calls out to you, and enhances you with as much magic as he can bolster. For one minute, you gain a magical immunity to all spells cast at third level or lower you do not wish to be affected by, and are considered to be under the effects of the spell haste. This ability requires the Replicas concentration to persist.

Additionally, any creature that calls you by your chosen title that is not The Raven Prince or one of his replicas must make a wisdom saving throw with a DC equal to your warlock spell save DC or take 6d10 psychic damage, taking half on a successful save. Calling you by this title is consided a harmful action, even if a creature does not know so, and creatures feel reluctant to speak the title in your presense.

Keeping Promises

The Raven Prince keeps his promises, even
to those he plans to betray. He is willing to
do anything in his power to keep his word
to those that he deems strong or worth
even a moment of his time. At 14th
level your Raven Prince Replica no
longer has a time limit and can stay
as long as you can concentrate.

Your Raven Prince
now gains the following action:

Bend Reality, Action, Five Charges
The Raven Prince uses his ability to warp the
realms on a whim to aid you. The Raven Prince may replicate any spell of 5th level or lower as if casted by the wish spell.

Additonally, at this level, you can cast the spell divination at will. Tapping into your connection with The Raven Prince and being able to personally communicate with him. Similarly to the previous ability, The Raven Prince cannot answer questions they would not reasonably be able to know the answers to with scouting ravens. If a raven could not possibly be present to learn information required to answer a question, the Raven Prince cannot answer and the spell fails.

Optional Feature: Pact Thief

The Raven Prince has no special invocations of his own. To counteract that, you can tap into Eris' past patrons power and steal the residual energy they left with him. You are considered to be either a warlock of the Raven Queen, Archfey, Celestial, or Fiend for the purposes of invocation prerequisites, chosen at character creation. You may only choose one. Your active Pact Thief patron can be changed whenever you would change invocations.

Arcane Tradition

At 1st level, a wizard gains the arcane tradition feature. The following options is available to a wizard, in addition to those offered in the Player's Handbook.

Gun Weaver

Gun Weavers are wizards who have spent just as much time with their piece as they have with their spellbook. A wizard who's eye is as keen as their mind and who's shot is as sharp as their wit. They specialize in, and eventually perfect the art inscribing spells into their firearms, and casting those spells with the incredible precision.

Slinger's Training

When you choose this tradition at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with light armor and one sidearm of your choice. You also gain proficiency in Tinker's Tools if you do not have it already.

Gun Inscription

Starting at 2nd level, you can inscribe your learned magic into guns. Guns you inscribe on are treated as a spellbook for the purposes of preparing your spells. Guns you work on can

have up to 3 spells inscribed at 2nd level, and can store an additional spell at 6th, another at 10th and a final one at 14th level. Inscribing a spell on to a gun requires 10 times the spell's level in gold worth of inks, but otherwise this process is identical to copying a spell into a spellbook. You can only inscribe spells into guns that have a casting time of 1 action or 1 bonus action. Spells inscribed on a weapon are always considered to be prepared for you while you are wielding the weapon, and do not count against the number of wizard spells you can prepare per day.

Spells that are inscribed on guns can be cast through them. When you do this, the guns act as your spellcasting focus and fulfill the somatic and material requirements for the inscribed spell, as long as the materials have no value (such as 500gp worth of diamonds). If you have inscribed a spell that has a range of self and casting time of 1 action, you can cast it through your firearm as a bonus action.

Arcane Shot

At 2nd level, you have learned how to cast spells that are inscribed on your firearms as though you were firing the gun itself. When you cast a spell through a firearm that would require one or more ranged attack rolls, you may replace the required spell attacks with a ranged weapon attack using the gun the spell is inscribed on. This attack is considered firing your gun for the purposes of misfire, and any other abilities or features, but does not require any ammunition.

Additionally, inscribed spells that are cast through your guns use your Dexterity for the purposes of calculating saving throw DC instead of Intelligence.

War Adept

At 6th level, your training for battle and war reaches new heights. Your quick wit in battle lets you add your Intelligence modifier as well as your Dexterity modifier to your initiative rolls, and also as long as you are wielding a gun with a spell inscribed that matches the spell you are concentrating on, you have advantage on concentration saving throws to concentrate on that spell.

Additionally upon reaching 6th level, you also gain proficiency in a new longarm or sidearm of your choice.

Arcane Sniper

When you reach 10th level, you have mastered the art of firing spells through your firearms, and know how to plant your magic into a person like you would plant a bullet in their skulls. When you would cast a spell through a firearm that targets only a single creature, and requires a saving throw, you may cast the spell through your gun. Make a ranged weapon attack against a creature within the spells range with the weapon. This attack is considered to be firing your gun for the purposes of misfire, and any other abilities or features, but does not require any ammunition. If the attack hits it deals no damage, and the creature is considered to have failed the saving throw. You can use this ability once, before needing to complete a long rest to use it again.

Combat Casting

Once you reach 14th level, you have mastered the art of gunslinging and magic, shooting and casting with equal efficiency. When you use your action to cast a spell, you can make one firearm attack roll as a bonus action.

Witch Covens

Blood Binding

At 14th level, if a living creature dies within 60 feet of you, you may bind its soul as a reaction. The witch performs a quickened version of the binding rite ritual, which functions like a magical net for the spirit being targeted. You bind it's spirit to a spell slot of your choice, and the creature who provided the soul cannot be resurrected during the time that its spirit remains bound. You may use this ability an amount of times equal to half your spellcasting modifier rounded up per day, recharging on a long rest.

Sanctum Spirit-Prison

At 17th level your sanctum artifact has developed to insane levels of control over the souls of others. The border of your sanctums 1 mile effect radius becomes a spectral one way wall for the ghostly. Undead, ethereal, and incorporeal beings are unable to leave once they've entered. The walls function similar to the Wall of Force in the way that if a disintegrate spell is cast on the wall, a 5 foot radius breach will open, and it will slowly close over the course of 1 minute.

Also, all undead that are trapped in this way are considered charmed and friendly to you, even if they are immune to the charmed condition. This charm is broken for 12 hours if you take aggressive action towards them.

Ghostly Step

At 20th level you gain the ability to enter the spirit realm as a bonus action by projecting part of yourself beyond the material plane. You and your belongings become ethereal for up 10 minutes.

During this time, you can move in any direction. If you move up or down, every foot of movement costs an extra foot. You can see and hear the plane you originated from, but everything there looks gray, and you can’t see anything m ore than 60 feet away.

While on the Ethereal Plane, you can only affect and be affected by other creatures on that plane. Creatures that aren't on the Ethereal Plane can’t perceive you and can’t interact with you, unless a special ability or magic has given them the ability to do so.

You ignore all objects and effects that aren’t on the Ethereal Plane, allowing you to move through objects you perceive on the plane you originated from.

If you end your turn in an object, you are dealt 1d10 force damage and shunted towards the closest free space. If their are more than one you decide.

You may rematerialize in your present location as a bonus action. If you choose to maintain this form until the duration expires a you stay in the ethereal plane and the effects of this ability end. You may use this ability once, after which you must complete a long rest to use it again.

Binding Rites

Following is a list of different spirits a Witch may bind with their binding rites ritual.

Envy

Spirits of Envy take from others what they covet for themselves – life. Whenever you deal damage with a spell or spirit effect to a hostile creature while Envy is bound, you regain the spirit’s level in hit points. You may only gain hit points this way once per turn.

Release. You may release Envy as a bonus action to grant yourself or an ally within 30 feet temporary hit points equal to 3 times the spirit level. As long as these temporary hit points remain, enemies within 30 feet of the ally have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than the affected creature.

Fear

Spirits of Fear bring nightmares to life. While Fear is bound, you gain proficiency in Charisma (Intimidation) checks, or add twice your proficiency bonus if you already are proficient. In addition, attacks made against you are at disadvantage. Once a foe has rolled against you with disadvantage and hits, it can no longer be affective by this passive ability for 24 hours.

Release. When Fear is released from its bonds as a bonus action, a number of creatures equal to the spirit level within 30 feet make a Wisdom save or be frightened of you for 1 minute. An affected creature must make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On a successful save, the fear effect ends.

Generosity

Spirits of Generosity are always willing to make sacrifices for those who bind them with good intentions. Your spells that heal restore an additional 1d4 hit points per level of the spirit. If the spell heals more than one creature each creature is instead healed an extra number of hit points equal to the spirit level.

Release. You may release Generosity as a bonus action and gift the spirit to an ally within 30 feet. The spirit protects the ally, granting them temporary hit points equal to 5 times the spirit level. These temporary hit points last 10 minutes.

Guilt

Spirits of Guilt cause your enemies hesitation in acts that would wrong you and your allies. While Guilt is bound, as a reaction when you or an ally within 30 feet are hit with an attack, you can raise the AC of the target creature by the level of the spirit. Hit or miss, the effect then ends.

Release. When you release Guilt from your power as a bonus action, a single target within 30 feet has disadvantage on attack rolls against you or an ally of your choice for a number of rounds equal to the level of the spirit released.

Hate

Spirits of Hate inspire a ferocity in you. When you are damaged by a creature, you gain advantage on attack rolls against that creature until the end of your next turn.

Release. When you are hit by an attack or spell, you can use your reaction to make an attack or cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action and an attack roll against the creature who struck you. The creature is dealt additional psychic damage equal to 1d6 per spirit level regardless of whether you hit.

Hunger

Spirits of Hunger both sustain their friends and deprive their enemies of energy. While Hunger is bound to you, you require no food or water to survive.

Release. You may release Hunger as a bonus action to impart one level of exhaustion on a number of creatures within 30 feet equal to the spirit’s level. The creature cannot be affected by a Spirit of Hunger again for 24 hours.

Passion

Spirits of Passion give those who bind them the power to push themselves and others further in order to accomplish a task. When this spirit is bound you gain a number of bonus dice equal to the spirit level. These dice are d6s. You may choose to roll one of these dice and add the result to any attack roll, ability check or saving throw you make, or to any such roll an ally within 30 feet of you makes. You lose all remaining dice when you release Passion.

Release. You may release Passion as part of an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. You make this roll with advantage. In addition all allies within 30 feet of you gain a d6 which they can add once to any attack roll, ability check, or saving throw made. After a number of rounds equal to the spirit's level, this effect ends and unused dice are lost.

Serenity

Spirits of Serenity bring peace and clarity of thought to those who bind them. You require only half the time worth of sleep or rest as long as Serenity remains bound. You still require 8 hours to gain the full benefits of a long rest. Additionally, when you or an ally within 30 feet roll a Hit Die to regain hit points, you regain an additional amount equal to the spirit level.

Release. When you release Serenity from your power as a reaction when you would suffer from the following conditions, you may avoid being afflicted: Blinded, Deafened, Frightened, Paralyzed, Poisoned, and Stunned.

Sloth

Spirits of Sloth inspire sluggishness and laziness of thought and action around you. While Sloth is bound, spaces within 10 feet of you count as difficult terrain for enemies. Additionally, creatures provoke opportunity attacks from you even if they take the disengage action.

Release. When Sloth is released as a bonus action, foes within 30 feet lose their reaction for a number of rounds equal to the spirit level.

Sorrow

The failures of your enemies continue to haunt them in the presence of a spirit of Sorrow. While Sorrow is bound to you, enemies within 30 feet who fail a saving throw against a spell of 1st level or higher cast by you or an ally are dealt psychic damage equal to the spirit’s level.

Release. When Sorrow is released as a bonus action, choose a creature within 30 feet. That creature has disadvantage on its next saving throw, ability check, or attack roll. Should this roll fail, they are dealt 1d6 psychic damage and this spirit's release effect triggers again on the same creature. Once this damage has been dealt a number of times equal to the spirit level, it is no longer renewed.

Part 3: Additional Spells

This portion of the document lists spells I wrote that I believe are appropriate expansions on the game that are both balanced and thematic. Some of these may be rebalanced versions of spells either from other homebrew authors or WoTC themselves. Either way, the versions below are at least in some part written by me.

Familial Augmentation: Mobile

2nd-level transmutation (ritual)

• Casting Time: 30 minutes
• Range: 10 feet
• Components: V, S, M (10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs, in addition to a live riding horse that must be killed as a part the ritual)
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Classes: Witch, Wizard

As you cast this spell, you must target a familiar that belongs to you within range. When you do so, it becomes augmented with this spell. You may have as many augments active as you want, but each one takes up one of your attunement slots.

A familiar with the familial augmentation "Mobile" has all of it's speeds increased by 10 feet, and is no longer able to provoke attacks of opportunity.

Familial Augmentation: Scout

2nd-level transmutation (ritual)

Reliquary Reincarnation

4th-level transmutation

• Casting Time: 1 hour
• Range: Touch

• Duration: Instantaneous
• Classes: Cleric

You touch a dead humanoid or a piece of a dead humanoid. Provided that the creature has been dead no longer than 30 days, the spell transfers their soul into a weapon within range. If the target's soul isn't free or willing to do so, the spell fails.

The magic alters the creatures soul in a way that it is no longer dead but no longer physical. If the creature had any class levels, they must replace a single one of them with a level in cleric with the Relic divine domain provided they meet the multiclassing prerequisites. If they do not meet these prerequisites, or have no class levels, the spell fails as their soul is unable to sustain the change. If they are already a cleric, their divine domain is replaced with the Relic domain. The item used as a vessel for the soul keeps any magical or special properties it had from before the soul was within it. For example, if a cloak of elvenkind was used as the vessel, it would keep it's magical properties.

When you cast this spell, you can instead target an existing relic domain cleric, and transfer their soul to a different item within 5 feet of you provided they are willing to do so and the item falls into the spells usual prerequisites for items. This changes nothing other than their vessels weapon properties.

Part 4: Additional Equipment

Shields

New shield types allow defensive characters a few more options.

Buckler: While wielding a buckler, your Armor Class increases by 1. When you are wearing a buckler and are the target of a melee weapon attack by a creature you can see, you can use your reaction to parry the blow, further increasing your AC by 2 against that attack. You can don or doff a buckler as though interacting with an object instead of as an action. Creatures that are proficient with light armor are proficient with bucklers.

Spiked shield: While wielding a spiked shield, your Armor Class increases by 1. A spiked shield also serves as a light melee weapon that deals 1d6 piercing damage. Creatures that are proficient with regular shields are proficient with spiked shields, both as a shield and a weapon.

Sticky shield: This shield is inspired by those worn by kuo-toa. While wielding a sticky shield, your Armor Class increases by 1. When a creature misses you with a melee weapon attack while wielding a sticky shield, you can use your reaction to try to catch the weapon. The attacking creature must make a Strength saving throw with a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier. On a failed save, the weapon becomes stuck to your shield.

While stuck to the shield, the weapon can’t be used. The weapon’s wielder can choose to let go of the weapon at any time if it is able. If it chooses to hold onto it, the creature becomes grappled while it holds the weapon. A creature can pull the weapon free by using its action to make a Strength check with the same DC as the initial saving throw. The weapon is freed on a success.

Creatures that are proficient with regular shields are proficient with sticky shields.
