Classes

Blood Hunter: Profane Soul

• You gain an additional cantrip at 7th, 14th, and 18th levels.

Cleric

• You gain proficiency with holy water.
• If you normally would gain the Divine Strike feature at level 8, you instead gain Potent Cantrip.
• Optional Class Feature: Improved Potent Spellcasting (chapter 8)
• You gain an additional cantrip at 1st, 7th, 14th, and 20th levels.
• Notes: Improved Potent Spellcasting replaces Divine Strike and Potent Cantrip too. If you want to play a cleric who uses weapons, I made a booming blade style cantrip also called divine strike which deals more damage than the old divine strike, and works with this new feature to add your Wisdom modifier. Old scaling was 1d8 at 8th and 2d8 at 14th. New scaling is 1d8 at 5th, 1d8+Wis at 8th, 2d8+Wis at 11th, and 3d8+Wis at 17th.

Cleric: Arcana Domain

• At 6th level whenever you make an arcana check, you can roll a d4 and add it to the check.

Cleric: Death Domain

• You gain proficiency with heavy armor.

Cleric: Nature Domain

• Optional Class Feature: Druidic (chapter 8)
• At 6th level whenever you make an animal handling, nature, or survival check, you can roll a d4 and add it to the check.
• Your Dampen Elements feature also works against poison damage.
• Beginning at 17th level, your Dampen Elements feature also works against force, necrotic, and radiant damage.

Cleric: Peace Domain

• Emboldening Bond requires concentration.
• Creatures can use your Protective Bond feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.
• Notes: Still a very good subclass, still probably the best officially published subclass. And people complain more about twilight. Those who do complain about peace usually call it banworthy, and while I agree, I'd rather nerf than ban.

Cleric: Trickery Domain

• You gain proficiency with martial weapons and one skill of your choice.
• Your Channel Divinity doesn't require concentration.
• Cloak of Shadows can be used as a bonus action, and doesn't end early.
• Notes: Just respec Shart into life domain.

Cleric: Twilight Domain

• The darkvision granted by Eyes of Night has a range of 120 feet.
• Catnap replaces aura of vitality on your list of domain spells.
• Twilight Sanctuary requires concentration.
• Steps of Night requires an action.
• Notes: I don't agree with Tasha on letting clerics cast aura of vitality. In combat it's fine because it competes with other concentration spells but out of combat it's a lot of healing for the slot level. Fine on paladins due to their lower spell slots. Same reason I didn't allow pre-nerf healing spirit.

Druid

• You gain proficiency with simple weapons, blowguns, hooked shortspears, hoopaks, long slings, nets, and tridents.
• This.
• Wild Shape doesn't end if you willingly fall unconscious.
• You gain an additional cantrip at 1st, 7th, 14th, and 20th levels.
• Notes: Druids already got like half of the simple weapons, and I added a few simple weapons to give them too. I just figured they could have them all. Also they do still get scimitars.

Druid: Circle of the Shepard

• Spirit Totem doesn't end early if you're incapacitated.

Druid: Circle of Dreams

• Optional Class Feature: Harness Natural Power (chapter 8)
• Balm of the Summer Court dice increases do d8s, and you get one more die.

Druid: Circle of Land

• Reworked too much to be put here, go check out chapter 6, where it is renamed to Circle of the Earth. More biomes to pick, and you can also pick one of the four elements.

Druid: Circle of Spores

• Symbiotic Entity doesn't end early if you lose all the temporary hit points.
• At 6th level you gain resistance to poison damage.
• Notes: I very much disagree with limited use transformations, like this one, rage, and Starry Form below, ending early from being incapacitated or, in this case, taking damage. Imagine using your wild shape to get this bonus damage, taking one big hit, and its all gone. You will see a few more things changed to fit this line of thinking.

Druid: Circle of Stars

• Starry Form doesn't end early if you're incapacitated.
• Activating Starry Form requires an action, and swapping between forms at 10th level requires a bonus action.
• Notes: All of the forms are pretty strong, and I still think they're too strong but I didn't want to go much further than this.

Druid: Circle of Wildfire

• Enhanced Bond works on radiant damage too.

Fighter

• Optional Class Features: Martial Health, More Things (chapter 8)
• Superior Technique gives 2 superiority dice and 2 maneuvers, identical to Martial Adept.
• Second Wind uses a d12, to match your new hit die.
• When you use Indomitable, you add your fighter level

Fighter: Arcane Archer

• You can use your Arcane Shot feature a number of times equal to 1 plus your Intelligence modifier, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.
• At 7th level you learn the cantrip you didn't select at 3rd level.

Fighter: Banneret

• Fully reworked, go check out chapter 6.

Fighter: Champion

• Your Improved Critical and Superior Critical work with magic items that have an additional effect when you roll a 20, such as a Sword of Sharpness.

Fighter: Eldritch Knight

• Optional Class Features: Variant Spell List (chapter 8)
• You gain an additional cantrip at 7th, 14th, and 18th levels.
• You can use War Magic with spells that require repeated actions, like witch bolt and vampiric touch.

Fighter: Rune Knight

• Storm Rune doesn't end early if you are incapacitated.

Fighter: Psi Warrior

• Bulwark of Force doesn't end early if you are incapacitated.

Monk

• Optional Class Features: Martial Health, Superior Meditation, Joe Joe Adventure, Nimble Leap, and More Stuff (chapter 8)
• You gain proficiency with chakrams, hooked shortspears, scimitars, and tomahawks. They all count as monk weapons for you, as well as darts.
• None of your class or subclass features are magical, even those which replicate spells. Ki, similarly to psionics or a dragon's breath weapon, is a type of "background magic" not affected by things like antimagic field. It's not spell magic, it's just how the world works.
• The two-handed and special properties do not disqualify weapons from being monk weapons (but still not heavy weapons).
• You can use Deflect Missiles to reduce damage from melee attacks too. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can spend a ki point to make an unarmed strike or attempt to disarm (using DMG rules).
• You gain an additional Ability Score Increase at level 10.

Monk: Way of the Ascendant Dragon

• Wings Unfurled is free every time you Step of the Wind.
• You get thaumaturgy at level 3 and dragon ray at level 6.
• At 11th level you can make your unarmed strikes any damage type.

Monk: Way of the Astral Self

• None of your abilities end early if you are incapacitated.

Monk: Way of the Drunken Master

• Improvised weapons count as monk weapons for you. You can use them in place of your bonus action attack from Martial Arts.

Monk: Way of the Four Elements

• Fully reworked, go check out chapter 6.

Monk: Way of the Kensei

• You don't have to make an unarmed strike to activate Agile Parry, just take the attack action and make a melee attack.
• You can replace your bonus action unarmed strike granted by the Martial Arts feature with an attack with your kensei weapon starting at level 6.

Monk: Way of the Long Death

• Uncapped Touch of the Long Death, which also uses d12s now. At this level, go nuts. Waste all 20 of your ki for 40d12 damage. Sounds overpowered? Quivering Palm does infinite damage for 3 ki points.

Monk: Way of Mercy

• Hand of Healing can be used as a bonus action. Not like it matters, you'll only ever use the free use from flurry anyway.
• Hand of Ultimate Mercy can be used on alive people for mediocre burst healing, condition curing, and also it regrows limbs.
• Notes: Buffing the best monk? Why? Well, none of these even matter. Who gives a shit.

Monk: Way of Shadow

• Optional Class Feature: Shadow Arts Plus (chapter 8)

Monk: Way of the Sun Soul

• Reworked too much to be put here, go check out chapter 6, where it is renamed to Way of the Soul because you can pick something other than sun. Like necrotic soul.

Paladin

• Divine Sense is a bonus action, detects fey, aberrations, dragons, and elementals, and recharges on a short rest.
• Optional Class Features: Paladin Cantrips, Unholy Smite, Restore Health, and Improved Unholy Smite (chapter 8)
• You can use your Divine Smite and Improved Divine Smite with unarmed strikes.
• You can select the Unarmed Fighting style as your style.
• Improved Divine Smite works on thrown and ranged weapon attacks.
• Old oaths can spend a 5th-level spell slot to use your level 20 feature again, like the new oaths.

Paladin: Oathbreaker

• Final blow is added to your list of oath spells.
• Aura of Hate does not function if you are unconscious.
• Notes: Some auras work always, some work as long as you're conscious, and some work as long as you aren't incapacitated. To simplify this, I'm making them all function while conscious. Some auras, which function while unconscious, get nerfed by this (Ancients, Oathbreaker), some got buffed by working while incapacitated (Glory, Watchers), and the rest stayed the same. Conquest won't be changed because it makes sense that an ability involving making enemies afraid of you wouldn't work if you're stunned and wiggling around like a silly billy.

Paladin: Oath of Conquest

• Sapping sting is added to your list of oath spells.

Paladin: Oath of Devotion

• Judge the dying is added to your list of oath spells.
• Turn the Unholy and Holy Nimbus work on any evil creature instead of just fiends and undead.

Paladin: Oath of Glory

• Guidance is added to your list of oath spells.
• Aura of Alacrity now has the same radius as normal paladin auras.
• Aura of Alacrity functions while you are incapacitated, but still does not function if you are unconscious.

Paladin: Oath of Redemption

• Blade ward (revised) is added to your list of oath spells.

Paladin: Oath of the Ancients

• Druidcraft is added to your list of oath spells.
• Optional Class Feature: Druidic (chapter 8)
• Nature's Wrath has a range of 60 feet.
• Turn the Faithless works on elementals, fey, fiends, and shapechangers.
• Aura of Warding does not function if you are unconscious.

Paladin: Oath of the Crown

• Mage tether is added to your list of oath spells.
• Champion Challenge doesn't end if you are incapacitated.
• Divine Allegiance now has the same radius as normal paladin auras.
• Unyielding Spirit is ass, let's make it full immunity.
• Exalted Champion doesn't end if you are incapacitated.
• Notes: Redemption paladin got the same aura with the full radius.

Paladin: Oath of the Open Sea

• Water Spray is added to your list of oath spells.
• Aura of Liberation functions while you are incapacitated, but still does not function if you are unconscious.
• Aura of Liberation improves at level 18.

Paladin: Oath of Treachery

• Mind trick is added to your list of oath spells.

Paladin: Oath of Veneration

• A cantrip from the chosen spell list is added to your list of oath spells.

Paladin: Oath of Vengeance

• True strike (revised) is added to your list of oath spells.

Paladin: Oath of the Watchers

• Mind sliver is added to your list of oath spells.
• Aura of the Sentinel functions while you are incapacitated, but still does not function if you are unconscious.
• Notes: Can I just say I had Oath of the Shroud made before this even dropped in Unearthed Arcana? I'm just saying before you ask who copied who. Although, Watchers is more of an outer planes version while Shroud cares more about inner planes.

Ranger

• The class feature variants in Tasha's can be taken in addition to the defaults found in the Player's Handbook. The exception is the bonus language granted by Favored Enemy, due to the Canny feature replacing that part of it.
• Optional Class Features: Druidic and Ranger Cantrips (chapter 8)
• You can replace one of the languages from the Canny feature with proficiency in a tool. Not just artisan's tools, any tool works, including things like vehicles and navigator's tools.
• You prepare spells like a paladin (half level plus Wisdom modifier). You can also cast prepared spells as rituals if they have the ritual tag.
• You can select the Great Weapon Fighting, Superior Technique, or Unarmed Fighting style as your fighting style.
• At level 20 your Favored Enemy feature applies to all creature types.
• Notes: The features not in Tasha's are mostly flavor features, so I figured it wouldn't be an issue to keep them.

Ranger: Drakewarden

• You can pick a gem dragon.

Ranger: Hunter

• When you reach level 7, 11, or 15, you can select a feature you didn't already select from a lower level instead of one of the options normally available.

Ranger: Swarmkeeper

• You gain the following bonus cantrips: infestation, noxious gas, poison spray, and toxic vortex. That's a lot, but it's mostly pointless. Maybe if your weapons get stolen you can throw bugs at people. It's for flavor. Your weapons will do more damage, but this does more silly.
• Writhing Tide doesn't end early if you are incapacitated.
• When your reach 10th level, you can add your Wisdom modifier to one poison damage roll of any ranger spell you cast.

Rogue

• Optional Class Features: Special Attacks, More Stuff (chapter 8)
• You gain proficiency with acid vials, alchemist's fire, blowguns, long slings, nets, and holy water.
• Notes: Rogues feel strong because they do a lot of damage at once, but if you do the math they fall behind classes like fighter and paladin later on. The new optional class feature allows you to upgrade your sneak attack to d10s if you have advantage, and d12s if the enemy is unconscious. Go jab your knife in someone while they sleep, the damage can get nuts.

Rogue: Arcane Trickster

• Optional Class Features: Variant Spell List (chapter 8)
• When you use a Special Attack other than Poison Attack, you can cause the extra damage to be force damage.
• You gain an additional cantrip at 7th, 14th, and 18th levels.

Rogue: Assassin

• You gain the 9th and 13th level features both at 9th level.
• At 13th level, when you roll damage for a Special Attack, you can reroll 1s until they aren't 1s.

Rogue: Dark Petitioner

• You have a slightly larger pool of cantrips to pick from. Check chapter 10.

Rogue: Inquisitive

• Ear for Deceit works on all Insight checks.
• Eye for Detail works on all Perception and Investigation checks.
• Unerring Eye can be used a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.
• Eye for Weakness bonus damage increases to 3d10.

Rogue: Phantom

• When you use a Special Attack other than Poison Attack, you can cause the extra damage to be necrotic damage.

Rogue: Scout

• You gain proficiency with martial ranged weapons.
• You gain a climbing and swiming speed at 9th level.

Rogue: Soulknife

• None of your class features are considered magical.
• When you use a Special Attack other than Poison Attack, you can cause the extra damage to be psychic damage.
• You can use your Intelligence, instead of Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls of your Psychic Blades and the save DC of your Rend Mind feature.
• Notes: Upon rereading the subclass, both the blades and invisibility are listed as magical and thus blocked by antimagic despite being psionic. At least psi warrior didn't use the word magical.

Rogue: Thief

• Despite changing alchemist's fire and acid from items to martial weapons, you can still use your Fast Hands feature to throw one. Now that they're considered weapons you can sneak attack with them, although not unless you took the Attack action already. No dodge and toss, but you can get a second chance like a dual wielder.
• Fast Hands allows you to drink a potion as a bonus action.
• Optional Class Feature: Nimble Leap (chapter 8)
• Use Magic Device also allows you to ignore alignment restrictions on magic items.
• Using a magic item normally intended for a spellcaster uses your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Luck as the spellcasting ability (your choice).

Sorcerer

• Optional Class Features: Imbuing Touch and Sorcerer Supreme (chapter 8)
• You gain proficiency with javelins, sickles, spears, and tridents.
• At 5th level you gain an additional metamagic option.
• Starting at 6th level, the number of cantrips you know is equal to your sorcerer level.

Sorcerer: Divine Soul Origin

• When you use Empowered Healing, you add your Charisma modifier to the total healed.
• Your wings can look however you damn well please, regardless of alignment. What do I look like, the flavor police? Flavor Town Police Department? The pig in Guy Fieri's pocket?.
• Your level 18 feature I can't be bothered to look up the name of cures poisons and regrows limbs. And add your level to the healing.

Sorcerer: Draconic Bloodline Origin

• Reworked slightly due to now being restricted to dragonborn. Go check out chapter 6.

Sorcerer: Shadow Magic Origin

• Hound of Ill Omen requires an action to summon.
• Umbral Form doesn't end early if you are incapacitated.
• Notes: This is just a few minutes of heightened spell for the same cost. At least make it a full action.

Sorcerer: Storm Sorcery Origin

• Optional Class Feature: Very Very Frightening (chapter 8)

Sorcerer: Wild Magic Origin

• Optional Class Features: Wild Magic Blast and Spell Bombardment (but good) (chapter 8)
• You can use the wild magic table at the end of this document if you want.
• Bend Luck uses a d6.

Sorcerer: Extended Spell Metamagic

• You have advantage on saving throws made to maintain concentration on the spell.
• Notes: A few of the changes in this section are things from the 6e playtests that I like. Most of the changes in those playtests make all of my bones hurt, but a few I stole for myself. Well, aside from barbarian, which I 1000% love.

Sorcerer: Seeking Spell Metamagic

• only cost 1

Warlock

• You gain an additional cantrip at 1st, 7th, 14th, and 18th levels.
• You gain 2 additional invocations at 20th level.

Warlock: Archfey Patron

• You can use Fey Presence at will at 10th level.
• You can expend a warlock spell slot to use Dark Delirium again.

Warlock: Celestial Patron

• Healing Light dice increased to d8s. The target gets 1 temporary hit point per die spent on it.

Warlock: Hexblade Patron

• Hexblade's Curse doesn't end early if you are incapacitated.
• Removed the second paragraph from Hex Warrior.
• Notes: This feature has been moved to Pact of the Blade. Tooo good as a one level paladin dip, and it still is a really good subclass. For full hexblades, if you take pact of the blade, you won't notice any difference. You can keep the proficiencies regardless.

Warlock: Undying Patron

• Reworked too much to be put here, go check out chapter 6, where it is renamed to Immortal. The undead theming is gone, but it now actually succeeds on being hard to kill.

Warlock: Blade Pact Boon

• When you attack with your pact weapon, you can use your spellcasting ability modifier modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls.
• Summoning your pact weapon takes a bonus action instead of an action.
• You gain proficiency with medium armor and martial weapons.

Warlock: Chain Pact Boon

• Reworked too much to fit here. Chapter 6.
• Notes: The changes made are to line it up with the One D&D playtest version, which I quite like. Having a familiar with scaling health and damage feels like it should have been there since the beginning. I also made a stat block for each specific creature type, plus a few later on for specific creatures, since some people would miss things like turning your imp into a spider. I guarantee you'll like these forms or your money back (you can take the normal Pact of the Chain)

Warlock: Talisman Pact Boon

• Reworked too much, you know the drill. Chapter 6.

Warlock: Tome Pact Boon

• You can use the Eldritch Versatility feature to change out your cantrips selected at level 3.

Warlock: Cloak of Flies Invocation

• Can be used at will.

Warlock: Far Scribe Invocation

• The number of names you can keep in your book increases to your warlock level.
• Your patron's name is in the book, does not count against your number of names, and cannot be removed.

Warlock: Gaze of Two Minds Invocation

• Actions replaced with bonus actions.
• Added level requirement of 5.

Warlock: Gift of the Ever-Living Ones Invocation

• Replaced Pact of the Chain restriction with Pact of the Talisman.
• Notes: Still busted, but now it comes with the downside of having to take talisman.

Warlock: Improved Pact Weapon Invocation

• You can make a hand crossbow your pact weapon. If you're interested in a pact gun, let me know at 7th level.

Warlock: Investment of the Chain Master

• Changed in chapter 6 to match the changes to the pact boon.

Warlock: Master of Myriad Forms Invocation

• Level requirement reduced to 9.

Warlock: Otherworldly Leap Invocation

• Level requirement reduced to 7.
• No longer requires components.
• Jumping and landing does not make any sound for you.
• Beginning at 11th level you can cast it as a bonus action.

Warlock: Protection of the Talisman Invocation

• Changed in chapter 6 to match the changes to the pact boon.

Warlock: Thirsting Blade Invocation

• Does not count against your number of invocations known.
• Only one of the attacks has to be made with your pact weapon.
• Notes: Should be part of the base pact. The second point allows you to grapple or shove.

Warlock: Voice of the Chain Master Invocation

• Removed, it now comes as a part of the pact boon at 5th level for free.

Warlock: Witch Sight Invocation

• Gives you real deal truesight!

Wizard

• You gain proficiency with acid vials, alchemist's fire, holy water, and repeating crossbows.
• Optional Class Feature: Preparing Cantrips

Wizard: Bladesinging

• You gain proficiency with all weapons.
• Your bladesong doesn't end early if you're incapacitated.
• You can use two handed weapons if you want, who cares.

Wizard: Chronurgy Magic

• The gold and time you must spend to copy a chronurgy spell into your spellbook is halved.

Wizard: Graviturgy Magic

• The gold and time you must spend to copy a graviturgy spell into your spellbook is halved.
• Adjust Density no longer requires concentration, but it ends early if you use it again.
• Violent Attraction can be used at will. It's such a fucking cool ability, and the rest of the subclass isn't anything too good so its fine. Hopefully.

Wizard: School of Conjuration

• Minor Conjuration can be used as a bonus action.
• Benign Transposition's range is increased to 60 feet, or .
• Durable Summons's temporary hit points is instead twice your wizard level.

Wizard: School of Divination

• The Third Eye doesn't end early if you're incapacitated.

Wizard: School of Enchantment

• Optional Class Feature: Charmer's Defense. (chapter 8)
• You gain proficiency with one Charisma skill of your choice.
• Notes: Charisma based AC should allow you to replace Dexterity as a secondary ability, allowing you to use face skills in combination with your enchantment spells.

Wizard: School of Illusion

• You can cast minor illusion without components.
• Starting at 10th level, you can ignore the verbal components of your illusion spells, although you must provide somatic components, even if the spell didn't originally require them.

Wizard: School of Necromancy

• Grim Harvest restores 1 hit point on a kill with a necromancy cantrip. No bag of rats tho. No cheesein it.
• If you already know animate dead at 6th level, you can add another necromancy spell to your spellbook instead.

Wizard: School of Transmutation

• Optional Class Features: Expanded Master Transmuter (chapter 8)
• Minor Alchemy no longer requires concentration.
• Minor Alchemy lasts for a number of hours equal to half your wizard level, rounded down, or until you use the feature again.
• You can select any damage type for the thing.
• Erupting earth does an extra d12 for you.
• If you already know polymorph at 10th level, you can add another transmutation spell to your spellbook instead.
• Notes: The optional class feature is kinda nuts, but considering the subclass it's attached to I doubt it'll break the game.

Feats

Fighting Initiate

• Can be selected multiple times.
• The fighting style you select can be from any class, except for Juggernaut.

Flames of Phlegethos

• Can be selected by fire, magma, and ash genasi, and cobalt, gold, red, and purple dragonborn.
• Damage increased to 1d6.

Grappler

• Completely reworked, go check out chapter 8.

Gunner

• Since guns are considered martial weapons at this table (5.5e playtest stolen idea) this feat might seem worse on characters who already have martial weapon proficiency. This is true, which is why I made a feat for you called Veteran Gunner in chapter 8.

Healer

• Completely reworked, go check out chapter 8.

Heavy Armor Master

• Works against magical damage too, because why the fuck wouldn't it.
• Reduction is based on your proficiency bonus, plus a magic bonus if the armor has one.

Lightly Armored

• You gain proficiency in shields.

Lucky

• Replaced by the Luck stat. Everyone has a number of luck points equal to their Luck modifier, and you add your Luck modifier whenever you use one.

Magic Initiate

• Somewhat reworked, go check out chapter 8.

Martial Adept

• You instead gain 2 superiority dice.
• Can be selected multiple times, although after the first time you only gain 1 die.

Medium Armor Master

Prodigy

• You also gain a weapon proficiency.
• Can be selected multiple times.

Ritual Caster

• You can copy rituals from any class, like warlocks with the invocation. To make up for this, you need 13 in Int and Wis to take the feat. Your casting ability is one of those, your choice.

Savage Attacker

• Can be used more than once per turn.

Scion of the Outer Planes

• Increase your Strength or Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• Can select Luck as your spellcasting ability.

• Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Spell Sniper

• Crit on 19

Strike of the Giants

• You gain all of the options, but they all share one resource pool.
• You roll 2 dice at level 11.

Vital Sacrifice

• Boon only lasts 1 minute.
• Only 1 boon can be active at a time.
• The damage you take ignores temporary hit points.
• Notes: Was debating between having it last a minute, meaning you can't use it long before combat, or having it take a full action, meaning you couldn't use it in combat without spending a turn.

Weapon Master

• You gain proficiency with all simple and martial weapons, as well as improvised weapons.

Weapons

There is a new weapon table found in chapter 7. It contains new options for most characters, namely better ranged options for strength-based characters.

Spells

There is a whole chapter later on about expanded spell lists. This section is about changes to specific spells.

Force Blast

• Damage reduced to d6s.
• Range increased to 240 feet.
• Notes: d8 with a 180 range was too much of an upgrade over fire bolt. If it wasn't 3rd party I would take it over fire bolt every time.

Friends

• Duration increased to 10 minutes.
• Notes: So no one told you life was gonna be this way?

Green-Flame Blade

• See booming blade.

Gust

• No longer requires verbal components.
• Notes: Now it's the same as the other elemental cantrips.

Guidance

• You gotta say you cast it before you make the check. No casting it after someone makes the check, this ain't 6e. I was considering a nerf, but if we can run this RAI then I won't need to.

Infestation

• Damage dice increased to d8s.

Light

• Casting time changed to 1 bonus action.

Magic Stone

• Spell attack changed to weapon attack. This means it works with things like extra attack now.
• Scales with level: d4 at 1st, d6 at 5th, d8 at 11th, and d10 at 17th.
• Doesn't stack with Potent Cantrip and similar features. You already add the modifier.
• Duration increased to 10 minutes.
• Number of stones increases by 1 whenever the cantrip levels up.
• Notes: See shillelagh.

Mold Earth

• The number of non-instantaneous effects created by the spell you can have active at a time increases at 5th level (3), 11th level (4), and 17th level (10).

Poison Spray

• Damage dice reduced to d4s.
• On a failed save, the target is poisoned until the start of your next turn.
• Notes: At first I just changed the damage dice to d16s, but I think this is a more interesting way to take the spell. If it turns out to be too strong I will go back to the d16s without poison condition.
• "But I want a d12 cantrip for melee range waaaaah!"
• Notes: Thunderblast does a d12 at point blank range.
• "Waaaaah but I'm a druid and also that only does a d12 at 5 feet, I want 10 feet of range!!!!1!"
• Notes: Find. Fuck you, imaginary poison spray stan. New spell needle spray.

Prestidigitation

• Casting time changed to 1 bonus action.
• You can clean parts of objects.
• The number of non-instantaneous effects created by the spell you can have active at a time increases at 5th level (4), 11th level (5), and 17th level (10).

Primal Savagery

• Reworked just barely enough to justify a reprint, go check out chapter 9.

Produce Flame

• As an action you can cause the flame to leave your hand and float above you in your space, allowing for hands-free light. You can still use it to attack while it is floating above you.
• No longer requires verbal components.
• Notes: This is a cute cantrip. I like the flavor of having a floating light that hovers above you, like Skyrim, and we can't all cast continual flame on an ioun stone.

Sapping Sting

• Constitution saving throw replaced with Strength.
• No longer requires verbal components.
• Notes: Prone is a good condition but I don't think it's good enough to justify the low damage, range, and bad save.

Shape Water

• The number of non-instantaneous effects created by the spell you can have active at a time increases at 5th level (3), 11th level (4), and 17th level (10).

Shillelagh

• Doesn't stack with Potent Cantrip and similar features. You already add the modifier.
• Can be used on a greatclub or simple spear.
• Scales with level: d6 at 1st, d8 at 5th, d10 at 11th, and d12 at 17th.
• Notes: Previously this would never come up, so you didn't have to worry about it adding your modifier twice. Once I gave all clerics and land druids Potent Cantrip, I had to add this line to prevent too much stacking. You already add your modifier from shillelagh, and you also add it to divine strike or green-flame blade, so you already add it twice like the old arcana cleric shillelagh build. You don't need to do 2d8+15 at level 6, 2d8+10 is fine.

Spare the Dying

• Combined with a spell I made called kill the dying to make a new spell called judge the dying which lets you do both. Chapter 9 blah blah.

Thaumaturgy

• Casting time changed to 1 bonus action.
• You can instantly light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
• The number of non-instantaneous effects created by the spell you can have active at a time increases at 5th level (4), 11th level (5), and 17th level (10).

Toll the Dead

• Damage decreased to d6/d10.
• Notes: It was fine on wizards and warlocks, but on clerics it was better than sacred flame in nearly every scenario. Be glad I didn't make it a Con save like I had wanted to. I'm playing a light cleric in a campaign and every time I cast sacred flame I think "is the flavor worth the smaller die AND worse save?" Really should have been a Con save from the beginning. If you're a wizard thinking "hey, you just said it was fine, what gives?" then look for the spell soul accelerate later in the document.

True Strike

• Reworked so much it's basically a new spell, go check out chapter 9.

1st Level

Jump

• Duration increased to 10 minutes.
• Fall damage you take is reduced by 30 feet.

Magnify Gravity

• Area reduced from 10 foot radius to 15 foot diameter.
• Notes: For the only 1st level spell that does area damage at a range with half on a success, the spell is pretty damn good. Maybe a bit too good. Well, Exploring Eberron added the nuts "2d4 force with the radius of fireball" spell but I already took care of that.

Ray of Sickness

• Damage dice increased to d12s.

Shield

• Each missile from Jim's magic missile has a 50% chance to ignore the +5 AC bonus from shield. Why? Because Jim's magic missile is a janky as fuck spell held together by paper clips and string (in lore).

Speak With Animals

• Lasts an hour.

Tenser's Floating Disc

• As an action, you can move the disc up to 20 feet to a space within 20 feet of you.

Thunderwave

• When cast using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the knockback increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 1st.

Witch Bolt

• Range increased to 60 feet.
• Creatures don't break the line of sight for this spell. If a creature touches the line the line it takes 1d12 lightning damage when it first touches the line or ends its turn there.

2nd Level

Zone of Truth

• The target can choose to fail the saving throw.

3rd Level

4th Level

Grasping Vine

• No longer requires concentration.
• Range increased to 90 feet.
• You can move a target 20 feet in any direction, not just towards the vine. The point must still be within 30 feet of the vine.

Guardian of Nature

• Advantage on Wisdom attacks is replaced with advantage on attack rolls made with your spellcasting ability.
• Notes: Now benefits nature sorcerers.

Otiluke's Resilient Sphere

• Translucent

Staggering Smite

• Incapacitates on a failed save.

5th Level

6th Level

Disintegrate

• Missing your target may lead to collateral damage.
• Notes: This makes sense, sounds fun, but is technically a nerf to my favorite spell.

Find the Path

• Reduced to 3rd level.

Flesh to Stone

• The target can choose to fail the saving throw.
• Notes: Sequester for poor people (if you choose to fail).

Forbiddance

• Works on aberrations.

Gravity Fissure

• Damage dice increased to d10s.

Harm

• Damage increased to 15d6.
• Notes: Remember what I said about chain lightning? Yeah, this, disintegrate, and meteor swarm are the exceptions to that. Of the three, harm could use a tiny boost. Prismatic spray too, kinda, so that one also gets the smaller one die boost instead of the die size boost.

Heal

• Healing increased to 80. Upcasting adds 20 instead of 10.

Investiture of Flame, Ice, Stone, and Wind

• Casting time changed to 1 bonus action.
• You can activate your little ability thing as a bonus action. Bigby's hand was last level and actually did decent damage, this is fine.

Magic Jar

• The target can choose to fail the saving throw.
• Notes: I hate magic jar. Too complicated. Wish there was an easier to understand body swap spell.

Otiluke's Freezing Sphere

• Damage dice increased to d8s.

Primordial Ward

• Casting time changed to 1 bonus action.

Scatter

• Wisdom saving throw replaced with Charisma.
• Number of targets increased to the level of the spell slot used.

Soul Cage

• Healing dice increased to d12s.

Sunbeam

• Damage dice increased to d10s.
• A creature reduced to 0 hit points is disintegrated.

Tenser's Transformation

• Your Strength and Dexterity scores can't be less than 17, regardless of your frail wizard bones.
• While you aren't wearing armor, you gain an Armor Class of 17. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
• Alternatively, you can cast this spell even if you are wearing armor you aren't proficient in.
• You keep the proficiency in Constitution saving throws for a moment after the spell ends, allowing you to use it towards the saving throw against exhaustion.
• Notes: Letting you attack with your spellcasting modifier would feel like it's stepping on the toes of Tasha's, so I figured increasing your physical stats for the duration would fit the flavor more. The AC was also going to be replaced with summoning a set of spectral armor to wear, but this accomplishes the same end goal.

Wall of Thorns

• The wall can be made up to 20 feet high.

Word of Recall

• Added atheism, due to it now being a chronurgy spell. Set your spawn anywhere.
• Range increased to 15 feet.

7th Level

Fire Storm

• Damage increased to 8d12.
• When cast using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d12 for each slot level above 7th.

Mordenkainen's Sword

• Reduced to 5th level.
• Notes: Still worse than 5th level spiritual weapon.

Plane Shift

• The target can choose to fail the saving throw.

Power Word: Pain

• Hit point limit removed.

Prismatic Spray

• Damage increased to 11d6.

Resurrection

• When you raise someone from the dead, roll a d100 and add twice the target's Luck modifier. If you roll lower than a 5, there are complications. Using a material component worth 1,500 gp prevents this.

Simulacrum

• A simulacrum cannot cast simulacrum or wish. Attempting to do so kills the simulacrum and makes me cry. They also can't use Divine Intervention because god hates snow robots.

Temple of the Gods

• Works on aberrations.

8th Level

9th Level

Rule Changes

Spell Scrolls

• You don't need to do an arcana check or know the spell or even be a caster. The magic is in the scroll. You just need to be able to read the language.
• Update: Magic tattoos do the same thing now, but I like scrolls more.

Lingering Injuries

• If you are reduced to 0 hit points from a critical hit or roll a 1 on a death saving throw, you must succeed on a DC 10 Luck saving throw or suffer an effect on the Lingering Injuries table (DMG 262).

Spellcasting

• You can cast racial spells and spells gained from feats using spell slots. New feats say this, but old ones didn't, despite many DMs allowing it. This is to make that universal.
• If your race lets you select a spell, such as high elf, you can swap it out when you gain a level with the Ability Score Increase feature.
• You can choose your spellcasting ability score for your racial spells and feat spells. New races and feats say this. but old ones didn't. Unless you multiclass, you shouldn't have to worry about having multiple spell save DCs.
• Racial spells usually never require material components, because they're innate. Most races specify this, but some forgor 💀 (EXCEPTIONS: high elf, dragonborn (dragon ray only), cho'l, because two of these are learned magic and dragon ray uses yourself for the material component)
• You can use a spellcasting focus even if a spell does not require it. If you want to shoot your fire bolt from a wand feel free to.
• More items can be used as a spellcasting focus, as shown in chapter 7.
• You can cast a cantrip as a bonus action and a leveled spell as an action, instead of only the other way around.
• Damage spells that target physical saves or uses an attack roll, like acid splash, which can only target creatures, can also be used to target objects.
• You can cast cantrips during a rest as light activity.
• You cannot cast a spell while casting another spell. This means no counterspell while casting fireball, as I noted with counterspell, but also no healing word while casting identify. You can stop casting identify to cast shield, but identify stops.
• In fact, no bonus actions or reactions when casting a spell longer than an action, you're busy!

New Action: Free

• As an action, you can help a creature within your reach escape a grapple. You make a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the grappler's Strength (Athletics) check. If you succeed, the creature is freed from the grapple.

Fall Damage

• Damage die for fall damage is based on creature size. d4 for Tiny, d6 for Small, d8 for Medium, d10 for Large, d12 for Huge, d16 for Gargantuan and above.
• Fall damage works as normal up to 20 dice at 200 feet, however it keeps going with an extra die every 50 feet after that, capping at 36 dice at 1000 feet.

Inspiration

• You can hoard multiple inspirations (see Luck below) (marked by a gold star).
• You can gain inspiration in additional ways:
• If I misremember a rule, you call it out, and I look it up and you are right and I am wrong, you gain inspiration.
• If I forget something major and you remind me, you gain inspiration.
• There's a second way to get advantage when you need it most: Determination

New Mechanic: Determination

• Whenever you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, the DM records it. Once you reach three 1s rolled, you gain Determination (marked by a red heart).
• Determination works the same as Inspiration, except you can only have one at a time.
• While you have Determination, any 1s you roll do NOT count towards your next Determination. Until you use it, you cannot progress towards another one.

New Mechanic: Stars Aligned

• Stars Aligned is basically a super inspiration. These are not handed out often, maybe once per year.
• When you make an ability check or saving throw, you can choose to automatically succeed.
• When you make an attack roll, you can choose to automatically crit. You also roll the damage three times instead of twice.
• If you use Stars Aligned on a death save, you regain all hit points.
• You can also use Stars Aligned to choose the outcome of a d100 roll.

Letting Yourself Get Hit

• You can choose to not add your Dexterity modifier or bonus from a shield to your AC if you want to allow an attack to hit you. The attack also gains advantage. If you aren't just letting an attack hit you but instead actually want to die, look at the next thing.
• You can choose to fail Strength and Dexterity saving throws.

New Mechanic: Execution

• If you attack a willing creature (and I mean very willing, like mouth open for your gun or gauntlet removed for chopping a hand off) you hit without making an attack roll, the attack is a critical hit, and it does the maximum amount of damage. I don't mean "hit me, I dare you" I mean hands and knees "please, just pull the trigger".

New Mechanic: Spin Attack

As an action, you can swing a bludgeoning or slashing melee weapon wildly around you. Each creature within 5 feet of you must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw (8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) or take 1d6 damage of the weapon's damage type for a simple weapon, or 1d8 damage for a martial weapon. This damage increases by one die when you reach 5th level, 11th level, and 17th level.

A magic weapon with a bonus to attack and damage rolls a

Critical Hits

• Increases to critical hit range stack.
• Increased critical hit ranges impact magic items that have an additional effect when you roll a 20.

IDK where else to put this

• If you are immune to damage, you don't suffer any extra effects of the damage. It's kinda dumb that something like frostbite gives disadvantage on attacks even to creatures immune to the cold, and it's both RAW and RAI. Gross.
• Invisible condition works how it should.
• You can use two shields, but the second only gives +1 to AC, or +2 if it is a +2 or better shield.
• Performance is used for seduction rather than Persuasion.
• Don't bother putting an alignment on your character sheet. If something happens with alignment (typically a magic item) then your previous actions will determine what happens, not what you write down.

New Skill: Intelligence (Appraisal)

Intelligence (Appraisal) checks are used when trying to discern the value of an item or estimate distance, quantity, or weight. Examples of Intelligence (Appraisal) checks include the following:

• Know how much a magic item could sell for
• Estimate how many coins are in a large pile
• Determine about how far away a distant creature is

The skill is on the class lists for artificer, fighter, rogue, warlock, and wizard and the racial skill list for Changelings and Kenku.

New Skill: Intelligence (Technology)

You have disadvantage on Intelligence (Technology) checks, unless otherwise stated. This is for operating and repairing Sigil technology, like cell phones, computers, and vibrating sex toys.

7th Ability Score: Luck

Luck measures the odds something good will happen to you, even if the dice would say otherwise. Honestly, it's a safe dump stat, but still not as much as Intelligence. Still a better idea for a stat than fucking Honor (but not Sanity, that's a cool idea for horror campaigns).

Monsters usually have a luck between 1 and 10, so no luck points. Fey, fiends, some humanoids, genies, and dragons tend to have higher luck, sometimes in place of legendary resistance. Summoned creatures, undeads and constructs currently under someone else's control, and similar creatures do not have luck points.

3a. Lore: Setting Overview

Aftermath

The majority of life on the continent had died. People who had fled were in unknown lands. Some people who stayed hidden were left in ruined cities with only a few other survivors. People who had been moved across the continent didn't return, as such a journey would be life-threatening. These people instead stayed among the people they had found refuge with. People would tell stories of their homeland, a distant place with access to different resources. Because of this, people wanted some of these things, and traders began traveling to these distant lands with a group of warriors and mercenaries to protect them. Over the course of hundreds of years, this allowed people to create full maps of the continent, mark major cities, plan the safest routes between points of interest, and begin rebuilding some of the fallen cities. Eventually, most of the current cities had been established, safe travel paths had been established, and the world was similarly laid out to how it is now. Around this time, a calendar had been established by combining local history, setting year 0 as the year the world-destroying monster had been slain.

Human War

Humans used to be as numerous as elves and dwarves, but after a major war there are about half as many humans as there once were. Around the year 3000 the leader of Stonegate began to amass an army with the supposed intention of slaying dragons and other powerful monsters to increase the safety of the continent. Tens of thousands from as far as Marimers rallied at Stonegate, ready to fight for this cause. Almost three quarters of everyone who agreed to join were human, as they are known for being major risk takers.

After two years of slaying evil dragons, giants, and undeads, the army started targeting other creatures that were less hostile but still just as threatening, like fey, other dragons and giants, cultists, and evil spellcasters. This caused some people, like dragonborn and elves, to leave the group. Eventually, the group started going after any spellcaster or other magical creature, including races like tieflings and genasi. By this point, the only people who had stayed following this warlord were a numerous amount of humanoids and a few dwarves and goliaths.

Once the warlord's true intentions had been revealed to be the extinction of all magical creatures, groups of adventurers would attempt to slay him. These heroes all failed in their mission, as even alone he was nearly unstoppable. He was eventually killed when leaders of major cities worked together to make an army, waited for him to return to his city, and surrounded Stonegate. The people who still followed him saw this as a noble cause, and they attempted a last stand. Even the commoners of the city were zealous enough to join the fight. In the end, nobody from Stonegate survived.

Not too long after, the ruins were taken over by a dragonborn, whose lineage rules the city to this day.

Recent History

As of recent, the main historical events have either been local or technical advancements. Refaire was founded in 4499, and Tidour existed from 3930 to 4547. Zular overthrew their evil king in 4540, the queen of Rockford was assassinated and invaders from the northern continent tried to take Valenville in 4547, and orcs moved from their island to attempt to join society in 4548. The printing press was first built around 3800, a continental mail delivery began around 4000, and timekeeping improved with the invention of pocket watches. Hot air balloons made ascending to the top of Zular faster, the guillotine has perfected the goliath tradition of public execution, and the steamboat has made travel across the continent's main river much faster. If you stand still for 20 seconds, a device can create an exact image of you, called a photograph. Zular had many of its roads repaved with the new concrete. Messages can be transmitted to other points in a city via a telegraph, although they haven't finished linking telegraphs between cities. Dynamite, while expensive, has revolutionized mining and demolition.

The biggest event of recent history has been the discovery of Elossar in 4469.

Moorblight

Moorblight is the triton capital city. It's located near a deep abyss that's constantly oozing darkness and monsters from the Shadowfell due to a rift between the planes. Triton of ages past founded the city to slay the monsters before they could make it to any civilization.

Frost Giant Village

The frost giant village to the west is the largest group of giants. Despite the name, there are also a few giants of other types amongst them. Most mapmakers label it as "Frost Giant Village" both to warn people to not go near it and also out of lack of respect.

The Cube

For thousands of years, nobody who dared to sail north ever returned. Strange people, known as orcs and hobgoblins, would also wash up on the shores near Valenville, claiming to have sailed south before losing memory of why their ship was wrecked. People assumed these two occurrences were connected, due to location, but they didn't know what was in the ocean preventing ships from passing through.

In the year 4547, a ship of hobgoblins invaded Valenville and attempted to conquer the city, before being driven out by some unqualified, overly lucky adventurers who had no right to survive that. Those who were taken hostage by the invaders, as well as the adventurers, say the hobgoblins were able to traverse the sea by using a divine artifact to gain information. The artifact said that warding the ship from teleportation would keep it safe. When crossing the sea, they noticed a massive black cube in the ocean, about a mile across and going from a quarter mile above the ocean to most likely the seafloor. When passing that, their wards were under attack by hundreds of teleportation attempts. Cartographers have attempted to use this information to mark where the cube is, and how to make it to the northern continent without passing near it.

Underground Temple & Beam Device

On the northern part of the continent, an underground temple was unearthed in the year 4547. Located in this temple were gems encrusting the walls in the patterns of constellations, a statue of a dragon, and a crawlspace tunneled out for about 300 feet. At the end of the crawlspace was a massive cavern with a cannon-shaped device and runes carved into the walls. The runes have yet to be translated, as they seem to belong to no currently known language. There is a lever next to the cannon that, when pulled, causes the cannon to launch a massive beam of energy straight up into the air. The beam is loud enough to be heard as far as Rockford, and the ground within that area shakes for a few minutes before and after it fires. The area where the ruins are is under constant watch from security from local guards to prevent people from waking up half the continent. Only researchers are allowed in.

Elossar

Elossar is a large continent, filled mostly with jungle and desert. It was only recently discovered, and adventurers are returning with gold and other treasures from exploring ruins found there.

Some humanoids can be found, but they are few and far between and prefer to be left alone. The desert half of the island seems entirely empty. There is also a place of death and decay, filled with undead to the south. Very few who venture into it return.

Vrokver

Vrokver is the continent to the northwest of Panren. Very little is known about it, due to the cube in the ocean preventing traveling. What is known is that it is the home continent of orcs and hobgoblins. They also have humans, dwarves, many more dragonborn, and small populations of elves and gnomes.

The continent has been in a large-scale war for decades. The hobgoblins of the east have been at war with the orc nation of the west. Humans and dragonborn are found among both groups, while the smaller groups of gnomes and dwarves stay out of the war. The elves stay on their island, due to being disliked by both sides. Most people on that war-torn continent don't care as much for the elves and their peaceful ways.

Gods

The following gods are ones that I made. Afterwards, there are charts showing the gods in less detail, along with gods I had stolen from other campaign settings. If you want to make a god, the idea better be good and you gotta write the lore.

Mother Tonantzin

• Titles: God of Nature and Seasons
• Domains: Nature
• Other Worshipers: Druids
• Symbols: Oak tree, gnome statue
• Divine Strike Damage Type: cold, fire, lightning

Mother Tonantzin is a god of nature, and the parent of Boersmein and Miochein. Despite being the parent of the god of winter and the god of summer, Mother Tonantzin is the god of all seasons, the cycle of those seasons changing, and plant life.

Legend tells of a great gnome cleric of Mother Tonantzin, who saved Murkwell fromPlacing a statue of a gnome among plants will often cause them to live longer and grow larger.

A nature cleric of Mother Tonantzin can choose to use the following list of domain spells, instead of the normal domain spells given to nature clerics.

Waarheid

• Titles: God of Truth and Justice
• Domains: Light, Order
• Other Worshipers: Paladins
• Symbols: Gavel held in fist
• Divine Strike Damage Type: radiant

Waarheid represents moral order, not absolute order. Clerics of Waarheid enforce the laws of their local government, as long as the laws are just, the government is fair, and the punishment is reasonable. Waarheid also hates lies, and disallows its clerics from lying.

Neutral Good Gods

Jesus Christ

• Titles: God of Expletives
• Domains / Patrons: -
• Other Worshipers: -
• Symbols: Swear words, lowercase t
• Divine Strike Damage Type: -

The god of saying swear words is the weakest of all the gods, but still a well loved one. This god is barely a god, and closer to a moderately powerful celestial. When people are shocked or injured, they will sometimes call out the name of this god, as a reaction to sudden pain or disgust.

Lationis

• Titles: God of Revenge
• Domains: Blood, Order, War
• Other Worshipers: Paladins
• Symbols: Two arrows drawn in blood
• Divine Strike Damage Type: radiant, the same type dealt by the weapon

Revenge can be good and just. A paladin tracks down and kills the man who killed his wife. Revenge can also be evil and unjust. A thief kills the guards who arrested his friend. Lationis accepts anyone looking to get revenge on anyone, regardless of cause and reasoning.

Nokkraat

• Titles: God of the Night
• Domains: Fear, Twilight
• Other Worshipers: Shadowfolk, other nocturnal people
• Symbols: Waxing crescent (twilight) or waning crescent (fear)
• Divine Strike Damage Type: psychic, radiant

The sea, revenge, the night. All things that come in both good and bad. The night is a time of rest, healing, crime, and murder. There is good and bad, kept in balance by some of the clerics of Nokkraat. Others revel in the good or the bad exclusively.

A fear cleric of Nokkraat can prepare moonbeam as a cleric spell.

Chaotic Neutral Gods

A cleric of Dalaborus can choose to use the following list of domain spells, instead of the normal domain spells given to life clerics.

Shovels and Pinheads

Many of the creatures found on the Shadowfell are terrible monsters that kill anything living on sight. Some of the creatures are manifestations of negative energy, like nightwalkers, being the Shadowfell equivalent of elementals. Oddly enough, one monster separates itself from the rest by being mostly passive despite its nature as a creature of raw negative energy. They are called shovels, because they are shaped like shovels. They don't attack creatures unless attacked first. They have an innate affinity for magic, and enjoy collecting magic items. They can occasionally even learn new spells.

Pinheads were created by a powerful mage who wishes to remain anonymous. Pinheads are also creatures of negative energy, but created instead of naturally forming. They are even more stupid than a zombie, but they're faster and better at tracking down enemies. Pinheads were created to track down and kill shovels for some reason.

God Charts

Unknown Gods

Gods I Stole

Each of these gods have a half dozen titles and symbols, so I couldn't fit them. Check the respective wikis for those. This list also isn't exhaustive, because I'm lazy, but you can assume a good number of minor Forgotten Realms gods.

Culture Specific Gods I Stole

Some of these gods (Bane and The Traveler) weren't culture specific in their home setting, but are in mine because I think it works good. The rest are just the standard gods who created the main races.

Chapter 3b. Lore: People of the World

Races on Panren

Most of the races function as they do in other campaign settings. The sections on races I didn't create will likely be short for that reason.

Common Races

Dwarf

Dwarves, regardless of subrace, are known for their love of smithing, stone, drinking, and comradery. Mountain and hill dwarves only differ in terms of physical build and environment: both have nearly identical culture. Mountain dwarves are one of the two major races in Zular and Frostport, and dwarves elsewhere are almost all hill dwarves. In addition to the axes and hammers they are known for in all worlds, these dwarves also invented a type of sword, known as a dao, that they use in combat alongside other weapons.

Elf

Unlike dwarves, elves vary highly based on subrace. High elves are often found in busy cities like Rockford and Valenville and are known for their love of self expression. They typically express themselves through art, literature, music, fashion, magic, and many other means. Wood elves are much less common, and are usually found in smaller towns too small to make it on most maps, although Murkwell is an exception to this. Wood elves care for the environment, the order of nature, and combat prowess. Sea elves have a similar culture to wood elves, but underwater. Some live near Moorblight, but most are from smaller, coastal towns.

Coming of Age

When an elf reaches adulthood, they typically seclude themself from the outside world for around a week to meditate and contemplate what and who they wish to be in life. When they return, in addition to the new name elves of most worlds choose at adulthood, they also may change their hairstyle and color, fashion sense, personality, gender, speaking tone, goals, and much more, leading to a potentially completely different person.

Goblin

Goblins are awesome, funny little creatures. They have a reputation for innovation, creation, and destruction. Their patron god, The Traveller, blesses them with the skill and creativity to make absurd, strange devices which often don't always work entirely as intended. While some goblins devote their lives to creation, most treat it as a hobby, electing to focus on a life of adventure, trade, or magical study. While some have negative views of goblins due to their unpredictable nature and rough attitudes, goblins are rarely actively malicious.

Goblins can cross breed with many types of humanoids, similarly to humans. Unlike humans, instead of producing half goblins, their children are still goblin, but with some different physical traits. Because of this, goblins vary wildly in appearance, but are all still goblins.

Goblin Names

Goblins names are usually two random words in common.
Ex: Garbage Kitty, Bread Stick, Bong Water. Strangely, about 1 in every 100 goblins is named Gooj. Nobody knows why.

Goliath

Goliaths almost always hail from the mountains of Zular and surrounding areas. Goliaths and dwarves have been friends since the dawn of civilization, and have grown similar civilizations across the mountains of the south. Compared to dwarves, goliaths value combat skill moreso than craftsmanship, and are more harsh in terms of competition and survival than their smaller allies. Despite these differences, a love of rock and stone has always united the two races.

Giant Heritage

All goliaths are obviously connected to giants, but some are more similar to specific giants than average. The most common goliaths are a middle point between stone and frost giants, but a few secluded or newer clans have a stronger connection to a specific type of giant. These goliaths look and sometimes act like smaller versions of their giant counterparts. Aside from standard goliaths, the next most common are cloud, found in some cities, and hill, found in smaller towns and farming communities.

---

Genasi

Genasi, other than adventurers, are almost always found where you'd expect. Earth genasi are found in plains and hills, fire genasi are found near warmer climates, air genasi often live in the mountains, and water genasi either live on the coast or underwater. Genasi are quite varied in size, based on their mortal parent. While genasi feel a call towards certain biomes, they can also be found among those of their mortal side, such as a halfling genasi in Roazon.

Half-Elf

To humans, half-elves look like elves, and to elves, they look human. High elves and sea elves don't particularly mind half-elves, but drow and wood elves aren't fond of them. Drow see them as imperfect and a sign of human influence on their culture. Wood elves don't quite see them as an affront to nature, but they simply don't care for having them in their family due to their inferior lifespan.

Shadowfolk

Due to coming from the shadowfell, shadowfolk may seem like a group that would experience a wary reaction similar to tieflings. They both come from a place most commoners would know only as "an evil place full of monsters". Shadowfolk, however, have a much different history. They were once normal humans, but after generations of being trapped in the Shadowfell, they evolved and adapted. The shadowfell is a very dangerous place, and the only way to survive without some powerful weapons is to stay hidden.

While some shadowfolk have made their way to the material plane, many stay on the Shadowfell. Now that these former humans have adapted to survive, they are easily able to hide from any of the various threats across the plane. Those who did come to the material plane had previously been met with suspicion, but once the history of the race became common knowledge this unease quickly faded. Some shadowfolk have used their affinity towards stealth to become criminals, which would harm their general reputation if they were ever caught.

Tiefling

The average commoner is likely to be wary around any of the less common races associated with negativity (usually unfairly), such as orcs and shapechangers. No race exemplifies this quite like tieflings. Their lower planar heritage is usually obvious to anyone who sees them. Whether they have an infernal ancestor or made a deal with a devil, the average commoner will usually assume the latter.

Yugoloth Cursed

Tieflings related to yugoloths look much less like other tieflings and much more like the yugoloth they have a connection to. Many of these tieflings come from curses or bargains, although some still come about the normal way. They lack the resilience of other tieflings, but they instead have the yugoloths' innate ability to teleport.

Races from the Underdark

ORC

ORCS ARE VERY SIMILAR YET VERY DIFFERENT TO HOBGOBLINS. ORCS ENJOY THEIR CONSTANT STATE OF WAR THEY SHARE WITH THEM, BUT INSTEAD OF VALUING LAW AND ORDER, ORCS REVEL IN CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION. ORCS SMASH THINGS, EAT PEOPLE, AND LOVE THE BLOOD OF THEIR ENEMIES AND LOVE THE FRIENDS. ORC LANGUAGE ALSO HAS NO LOWERCASE LETTERS, IF IT WASN'T OBVIOUS.

IN SOME WORLDS, ORCS ARE GREEN. IN 5TH EDITION BOOKS THEY ARE MOSTLY GRAY. IN THIS WORLD, ORCS CAN BE BOTH COLORS BECAUSE THAT IS FUN. ALSO BLUE, I GUESS, BECAUSE THE ONE IN MONSTERS OF THE MULTIVERSE IS FUCKING BLUE.

Races from Other Planes

Githyanki

Githyanki are the race that runs the biggest city in the multiverse. After their lich-queen was slain by The Lady of Pain, the gith admired her superior power and agreed to serve her instead. Now, gith almost all live in either Sigil or near a portal there. Almost all government jobs are held by gith, including law enforcement. They also make up a large portion of private security. They are known for being fierce warlords, although some become normal members of society, making money in ways other than violence.

Infernal Goblin

Infernal goblins, also known as hoblins, are a distinct race from half-goblin tieflings. While tieflings can come about from pacts and fiend blood, hoblins are a natural evolution of goblins from The Nine Hells. They look like goblins but a little bit shorter and wider, and also red. They are rarely found outside of the lower planes.

They combine the typical goblin naming convention of two random common words with tiefling virtue names, being given the first word of their name at random by their parents and choosing the second word once they reach adulthood.

Shadar-Kai

Shadar-kai are the gloomy elves of the Shadowfell, and the servants of The Raven Queen. She provides them with safety from the horrors of the Shadowfell, and they serve her in her realm or spread her word elsewhere.

Gravekeepers

Every major city has a graveyard dedicated to The Raven Queen. People who don't have a religious affiliation or can't afford another gravesite are buried there. A shadar-kai watches over the graves to keep necromancers out, but does not much else aside from dig holes and kill necromancers. They are gifted with immortality, never aging as long as they stay within her graveyard.

Special Races

Githzerai

Githzerai used to be found across the multiverse. Around 4,500 years ago, almost all of them went missing. Githzerai can still be found on occasion, but questioning them regarding where they came from yields no (true) answers.

Hexblood

Hexbloods come about from dealings with hags. While most are created by a hag using the deal to alter the person against their will, some come about in other ways. Sometimes someone will make a deal with a hag, know of their tricky ways, and use their superior power to intimidate them into going through with the deal properly. Even despite this, deals witch alter someones physical form will usually result in a hexblood even if the hag didn't intend for it to. Others willingly undergo this transformation, and many hags accept this, as this can allow them to test new magic and potions on the willing test subject.

Hybrid Genasi

Hybrid genasi typically come from two genasi parents, although they can come from the same methods as standard genasi, such as exposure to dangerous elemental magic. Their personalities are usually influenced by their genie heritage, and can lead to some very exaggerated personality traits. Despite this, many hybrid genasi find themselves drawn to positions of leadership.

Kenku

After the destruction of their utopian flying city in the plane of air, the few kenku who survived have been scattered across the multiverse with no place to call their own. After a decade of trying to survive in some of the harsher places, only 25 are left alive.

Reborn

Reborn are rare to see, and are typically the result of a failed resurrection. Resurrection magic done with cheaper components might sometimes be someone's only option, but it can cause complications. Some reborn can be created by normal people spending excessive amounts of time exposed to high levels of necromancy magic, such as the Shadowfell or The Emptiness. Reborn can be created in other ways, as listed in their source book, but they always have at least one real person as the base of the reborn, giving them at least one soul.

Vampire Kin

Vampire kin are up there with clockwork elves and kenku as one of the rarest naturally occurring races. You may think they should be more common, since vampires are sexy to us real people, but to people who live in a world with vampires, the idea of a blood-sucking undead that kills you is quite terrifying.

Vampire kin can come in many varieties. Dhampir are the children of a vampire and a mortal. A lesser vampire is a vampire who is weaker than most others. A near death encounter with a vampiric mist could leave a mortal corrupted beyond healing.

Custom Lineage

"Custom lineage isn't a race!" I know, but that doesn't matter. I still have some things to say about it. It's whatever you want it to be, and because of that, I want to suggest a few ways you could use it to get your ideas going. Each will include either a skill or darkvision, a feat, and a background feature.

• Half-elf half-orc: darkvision, savage attacker, elvish heritage
• Far realm entity (in humanoid form): darkvision, telekinetic, dark gift
• Variant changeling: deception, imposter, false noble
• Literal shifter: survival, animal form, simple mimicry
• Chaos genasi: darkvision, gift of the chromatic dragon, do not ask for this one. you do not want to explode.
• Goblin Wizard blessed by The Traveler: darkvision, eldritch adept (hands of creation), Rockford university arcana major

Random Facts I Have Nowhere Else To Put

These are jokes that became real, pointless facts, and whatever else I felt like making known.

• Dwarves invented bacon cheese fries.
• Sigil is square instead of round, and is "like if New York City was the size of Ohio".
• The outer planes run on modern (2008) technology.
• Foreskin doesn't exist.
• Toilets don't exist, or need to. Humanoids are evolved enough to not waste anything they consume.
• There is only one dragon on the continent of Panren, a bronze dragon near Stormcrest. The rest died.
• Graystone Metalworks is a continent-wide chain of average, boring blacksmith shops. They make weapons and tools, but never take custom orders. They drive many smaller blacksmiths out of business.
• Nobody has ever been homophobic, ever.
• Elves (not drow) don't quite 'get' the concept of gender playing a role in attraction, due to societal norms.
• Transphobia exists, but only in drow society because Lolth is a bitch and gives me terf vibes. Actually, other Underdark douchebags like Duergar too.
• Donny's is a breakfast chain open 24/8 known across the continent for being "good enough, I guess."
• Also, here's the calendar. You should probably pick a birthday.
• Florus inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. If one is in an airtight space, such as a Bag of Holding, with a Medium or Small creature that breathes normally, they can support each other indefinitely.
• Spiders are monstrosities as well as beasts (hybrid nature), and can only be found in the Underdark. I hate them and they are banished for their sins.

4a. Adjusted Races

Dark Elf (Drow) Traits

Good Drow weren't really common until this edition, and Baldur's Gate 3 decided to add the lore that the evil ones have red eyes, and I like that, so I'm stealing that. Drow who are sworn to Lolth have red eyes forever, even if they leave her cult (Minthara and Sorn) while Seldarine Drow can have any eye color, with purple being the most common.

Magma Genasi

As a magma genasi, you are powerful, cunning, and proud of these traits (whether you actually possess them).
