Nothing major just hobbyist fun stuff. Thanks for swinging by! \pagebreakNum ## Chapter 1: Races The currently available races cover all playable races in the FFXIV MMO along with the presumed race. Each race is able to fit into most fantasy worlds without trouble, I will include a quick blurb for each here. ### Au Ra The Au Ra hail from the east, and are marked by their scales and horns. These people have a stark difference in height between the the males and females of the species. The males tend to be much taller than the females and many other races, while the females on average are shorter than many of the other races. The dark scaled Xaela are nomads who travel the Azim Steppe and have developed a wide variety of customs which change from tribe to tribe. The light scaled Raen live largely integrated into modern society, giving up their nomadic ways for peaceful coexistence with the other races. ### Elezen The Elezen are elves who hail from Eorzea who call the lands of Gridania and Ishgard their home. Taller than regular elves, they have naturally good eyesight and are well intuned with the land. Over time they split into two groups, the Wildwood whom are light skinned and dextrous, skilled with a bow and live in either dense forests or their highly religious city-state homeland. Their relatives the Duskwights live in a series of twisting tunnels and ruins underground, coming up only to hunt for food or pillage before returning to their cavernous homes. ### Garlean The Garleans are physically strong and highly intelligent people who call the land of Ilsabard their home. They are marked by their third *eye*, a gem like growth in the center of their forehead. Unfortunately for them, the Garleans as a whole have great difficulty channeling aether through their bodies, which despite their physicality and intelligence, found themselves bowing to many other magic wielding races. They were eventually able to develop technology to make up for this lack of magical aptitude and turned the tables, establishing the Garlean Empire in Ilsabard, a dominate force which sought to invade the land of Eorzea. ### Hrothgar The Hrothgar are powerful, feline people from the Northeast who had struggles when meeting the other races of the world as they were unable to speak the common tongue. They call Ilsabard their homeland and they walk two distinct paths, one of servitude and the other of freedom. These distinct paths and ways of life led to the Helions, warm coloured Hrothgar who serve in the name of their Queen, and The Lost, cool coloured Hrothgar who value freedom above all else. \columnbreak ### Hyur The Hyur have spread across the entirety of the world, making it difficult to trace what their homeland truly is. There are the average sized Midlanders, named for the elevation in which their sub species lived for many years, and the taller, more muscular highlanders, who lived in the high mountains for their declared homeland. ### Lalafell The Lalafell immigrated from Southern islands to Eorzea forming two distinct groups based on the geography their ancestors settled in. The darker skinned Dunesfolk formed the city state of Ul'dah in the deserts of Thanalan, while the lighter skinned Planesfolk settled and farmed the lands of La Noscea, a large island off the mainland of Eorzea. Both of these naturally charming folk found great success as merchants through history. ### Miqo'te The Miqo'te are a second group of feline people who traveled to Eorzea across a frozen sea long ago. These proud people find pride in their natural hunting ability and have split into two distinct ethnic groups who worship the sun and moon respectively. The Seekers of the Sun live in warmer clients in patriarchal societies while The Keepers of the Moon live in dense forests, their tribes centering on matriarchs. ### Roegadyn The Roegadyn are large, hulking people who hail from the mountains and the sea. The Sea Wolves are known as famed pirates and settled the coastal city state Limsa Lominsa, while the Hellsguard live in villages atop mountains and volcanoes, acting as keepers of the land, believing such locations to be portals to other worlds. ### Viera The Viera are lapine people who live in dense forests and act as the protectors of their home. With their more secluded nature, they generally avoid contact with the outside world, happily protecting the Golmore Jungles and Skatay Range, both found in the east. There are two distinct groups of Viera who developed slightly differently based on their homes, the Rava having darker skin while the Veena have far fairer skin, both groups blending into their respective environments better thanks to these adaptations. \pagebreakNum
## Au ra *We Xaela are nomads who roam and live off the land. My tribe was no different. Yet though we did no harm to those whose lands we traversed, they treated us as vermin. In their ignorance, they feared us, and that fear manifested as spite and violence.* *My loved ones and I were cursed at, spat upon, beaten, and worse. It was out of the desire to protect them that I began my research.* -Alaqa the Witch The Au Ra are a misunderstood people due to their physical appearance. Their scaled bodies and horns led many to fear them, believing them to be descendants of dragons or demons. This fear led to hate, which gave way to violence, leaving these proud people fewer in number across much of the world. These conditions have led the Au Ra to value their families beyond all else. \columnbreak
### Variable Size Au Ra are characterized by their curved horns and intricate patterning of scales across their bodies. Sleek and powerful tails extend out from behind the Au Ra. There is a striking difference in height between the males and females of the race, the men ranging from just over 6 feet tall to 7 and a half feet tall, while the women are dwarfed, rarely coming close to 6 feet tall. Their faces contain sharp features and piercing eyes. ### Divided By Blood The Auri creation myth tells the tale of two beings, the dawn father and the dusk mother. The two kinds of Au Ra have beliefs about their connection to these beings. The dark scaled Xaela are a nomadic people who believe that the blood of the dusk mother courses through their veins. On the Azim Steppe, their traditional garb varied widely from tribe to tribe. Each group had a special way to adorn themselves which had meaning to their group. Outside of the tribal roots, Auri tend to blend into the fashion style of the region they live. \pagebreakNum The Xaela view themselves as free spirit folk, who roam the lands hunting, gathering, and battling against other roaming tribes, in honour of their ancestors. The light scaled Raen have instead decided to assimilate into Eastern society, though they are a minority, their loyalty and service has been a great boon to the culture they've ingrained themselves in. ### Peaks, Valleys and Plains The Auri homeland is known as Othard, a region to the far east. A majority of their homeland is covered by sprawling plains known as the Azim Steppe which dominates the region. The Xaela clans travel across this sea of grasslands in close knit tribes. The northern and western reaches of Othard are shielded with high mountain peaks and deep valleys shrouded in mist. It is from these mists that the Raen originally hailed. Today most live in civilized society or hidden villages allowing them to live peaceful lives. ### For my family An Au Ra may set off on an adventure for any number of reasons, a thirst of adventure, defense of their tribe or a mission for a master could send them on their path. This could go as far as searching for lost family members, or seeking revenge for a slight against their family. It was consideration for their families which helped define the two bloodlines of the Au Ra. The Xaela sought to keep their traditional ways and use power to protect their families. The Raen felt that a peaceful livelihood amongst the other races of the world was the best approach to protect their community. ### Au Ra Names The Au Ra approach names in two strikingly different ways. The Xaela see many names shared across tribes, but there are as many spellings for the same name as there are tribes. Xaela take the name of their tribe as their surname. The Raen name themselves in their tongue in a way that their name carries meaning. Only those belonging to the ruling and warrior class of society legally have surnames, while commoners may take a surname, it is not legally recognized. Raen who are in power often take surnames related to their feats in battle, while commoners take names related to their profession. Those from outside the Hingan culture tend to use names common in their home region. **Male Raen Names.** Tosetu, Keimei, Rakuyo, Hien, Genbu, Fugetsu, Unzan, Masatsuchi, Izuna, Sagan, Karaku. Chikamasa Rokuyari,Tanehiro,Yoshikore,Hidetake, Norishig. **Female Raen Names.** Yachiyo, Kikyo, Awayuki, Narumi, Azami, Kurenai, Tsubaki, Chidori, Suzume, Mizuki, Ibuki. **Male Xaela Names.** Arslang, Agasiletai, Chaghagan, Chuacenur, Bayan, Luvsan, Bujeg, Khalja, Charakha, Khaishan, Chigu, Jebke, Cirina, Narangerel, Ogul, Altan **Female Xaela Names.** Boragchin, Narengawa, Chotan, Qoyar, Khorchi, Ogul, Checheyigen, Altun, Eji, Baguchi, Odchigin, Khorghosun, Yesun, Ariunbold, Bayar. **Clan Names.** Adarkim, Bolir, Dalamiq, Khatayin, Oronir, Malqir, Khatayin, Ura, Goro, Oroq **Family Names.** Yuzuka, Obinata, Yuzuka, Yatsurugi, Rokuyari, Godo, Tabito, Yumishi, Musa \columnbreak ### Au Ra Traits Your Au Ra character has a variety of natural abilities. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Wisdom score increases by 2. **Age.** Despite their extraordinary physical features, the Au Ra live about as long as any of the other races of Eorzea, reaching physical maturity around the age of 16, and living to be around 80 years old. **Alignment.** The Au Ra as a whole do not tend to neither good nor evil, or towards law or chaos. The Xaela tend strongly towards the chaotic lives of nomads outside of the laws of civilized city states, while the Raen enjoy the order provided by the law. Often times an Au Ra finds themselves to be the product of their upbringing. **Size.** There is a large size disparity between men and women of the Au Ra. Males range anywhere from 6 and a half to 7 feet tall with a lean build dwarfing the females who rarely grow taller than 5 feet. Your size is medium. **Speed.** Your base walking speed is 30ft. **Cranial Horns.** You gain proficiency in the perception skill. **Scaled Bodies.** When unarmored, your AC is equal to 11 + your dexterity modifier. **Languages.** You can speak, read and write Common and Auri. The Auri language does not include numbered nouns or verbs, causing an Au Ra to mislabel things sometimes when speaking another language. **Subrace.** The Auri bloodline has split into two distinct groups, the nomadic Xaela and the solitary Raen, divided by the divine blood of their creators the Dusk Mother and Dawn Father. Select one of the two subraces of Au Ra. #### Xaela As a Xaela, you've been hardened by your life on the road as a part of a nomadic tribe. A life of hunting and warring has led you to martial prowess and improved strength. You are more outgoing than your Raen counterparts and are much more willing to engage in battle to resolve a conflict. Xaela tribes are small but numerous, battling for territory against one another on the Azim Steppe. Despite a willingness to fight, Xaela do not seek war, it is merely a tool to settle differences. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Strength score increases by 1. **Nomadic Instincts.** You gain proficiency in the survival skill. **Savage Attacks.** When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.
##### Xaela Tribes An extended list of the 51 Xaela Tribes has been provided in the Appendix F for this document on page 116.
\pagebreakNum
##### A Valuable Ally The Au Ra are steadfast allies once they are befriended. Once an Au Ra calls you their friend, you are considered family to them. Their experiences with other races are fewer in number than most, but can appreciate the culture of the new lands. **Hyur.** "Every Hyur is different in their own way. They're an ambitious people who work hard for their future. We can live alongside them easily." **Miqo'te.** "Miqo'te don't differ much from us. We both have an appreciation for what the natural world can provide us with. I'm sure our tribes would clash if they crossed paths in Othard though."
#### Raen The Raen live in harmony with the other civilized races of the East. They've assimilated fully into Doman culture, becoming valued for their unwavering determination to loyalty to their allies. They are largely looked upon favourably by the other races for their peaceful demeanor and respectable approach to life. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Charisma score increases by 1. **Polite Society.** You gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill. **Unwavering Loyalty.** You have advantage on saves against being charmed. \pagebreakNum
## Elezen *For centuries, our nation has been punished for the sins of our forefathers. If our punishment is to end, I believe we must right the wrongs of antiquity and move forward as a nation united. Needless to say, my father did not share this opinion.* -Ser Aymeric de Borel, Lord Commander of the Holy See The Elezen are a race divided within themselves, and their often arrogant attitudes keep the other races at an arms reach. The Wildwood live off the lush forests, using their keen eyes to hunt and gather in the dense woods. The Duskwights in contrast are notorious for thievery and pillaging, being the victims of prejudice within the Twelveswood. The Ishgardians have done away with the forest and founded an oligarchy and city state in Northern Eorzea. \columnbreak
### Elegance and Pride Long legs, slender bodies, pointed ears and sharp features are all marks of an Elezen. Only rivaling their otherworld appearance is the poise with which they carry themselves. Their tall, thin frames only differ within the race by the colour of their skin. ### Difference of Opinion The Elezen race is divided due to their pride. The Wildwood and Duskwights found they could not coexist and distanced themselves from one another. The Wildwood believing they are the true rulers of the forests in which they live and hold dominion. The Duskwights, who historically made their homes in the cavern systems of the forests have rejoined the surface but are eyed with great prejudice by their Wildwood brethren. The Ishgardians were a separate group of Elezen who founded a city state in the North and have a totally unique culture of their own, closed off from the rest of the world. ### The Woods and the North The forest which the Elezen live is the Black Shroud, a massive forest brought to order by the Wildwood, who protect the forest from poachers and other threats which would encroach on it. Duskwights, who disregard the need to protect the forest and hunt to their content. Looking to the Northern city state of Ishgard, towering spires, homes and a grand cathedral hide behind their giant gates. Living conditions in Ishgard are rough, as the poor go hungry in the lower levels of the city, while the wealthy live in exuberance, looking down on the less fortunate citizens, ruled by the religious teachings of the Holy See. \pagebreakNum ### Honour and Vengeance An Elezen may set out on an adventure for many different reasons. An Ishgardian hungry for revenge against the dragons may set out to seek greater strength, while a Wildwood may take up arms to defend their forest home from an encroaching threat against the Black Shroud. Duskwights may set out to gain honour and riches to support their family or to prove to the world they are more than just a thief. Perhaps you seek glory in battle, and head out to find this fame. ### Elezen Names Both the Wildwood and Duskwight clans of Elezen spell their names very similarly. Men's names are longer and always in *-loix, -aux, -mont,* or *-geant.* A female's name will always end in *-ne, -ette, -elle,* or *-ie.* Despite the similarity in their first names, the Elezen tribes over time claimed sur names for either side. These surnames will never cross clans, but only those who live within the race will know the difference. **Male Elezen Names.** Adeux, Beichault, Dreauchant, Eauplaux, Etrent, Gloffaux, Jodeaux, Joyent, Ulmant, Ulwex, **Female Elezen Names.** Adreanne, Iflione, Eaupline, Eranne, Etrene, Moriene, Peronne, Cummone ,Phivonne ,Paxeonne **Elezen Surnames.** Breaunojuste, Douvionne, Feajorins, Gehon, Glauvefand, Grurubont, Nahame, Prihaux, Shogamie, Zuhepane ### Elezen Traits Your Elezen character has a variety of natural abilities. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Intelligence score increases by 2. **Age.** Though Elezen are one of the longest standing races, they do not live much longer than anyone else. They reach physical maturity around age 18 and live into their nineties. **Alignment.** Wildwood Elezen lean towards lawful alignments, be it their upbringing to protect the forest or life within the religious walls of Ishgard. Duskwight's have embraced the wild way of living, leaning towards chaotic alignments, viewing laws as arbitrary things. **Size.** Elezen are known for their tall slender bodies. Men can reach a maximum 6 feet 8 inches and rarely are shorter than 6 foot 3 inches. Women reach a maximum of 6 and a half feet and rarely shorter than 6 feet tall. Your size is medium. **Superb Hearing.** You gain advantage when making a perception check using your hearing. **Speed.** Your base walking speed is 30ft. **Languages.** You can speak, read and write Common and one extra language of your choice. **Subrace.** The Elezen come from two different clans. Select one of the three subraces of Elezen. \columnbreak #### Wildwood The Wildwood Elezen have become the protectors of the forest and masters of . Despite this, the Wildwood keep a tight hold on their homes, defending them aggressively. They have learned to live off land wherever they find themselves. Years of life in the forests of the Black Shroud has imbued them with various abilities. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Dexterity score increases by 1. **Hawk Sight.** The normal range of your ranged weapon is increased by 20ft. This cannot exceed the max range of the weapon. **Natural Shrewdness.** You gain proficiency in the Insight skill. #### Duskwight Duskwights are Elezen whose ancestors made their home in the cavernous systems of the Black Shroud. Their light hair and dark skin sets them apart from the Wildwood and marks them to stand out. Duskwights are natural cave explorers after, their forefathers adapting to the caves of Gelmorra. The difficulty fitting into Gridanian society lead the Duskwights to build a reputation of banditry for themselves. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Constitution score increases by 1. **Cave Dweller.** You gain advantage when making Stealth checks in caves or dim and dark lighting conditions. **Darkvision.** Due to life in the caverns your eyes have adapted to help you see in the dark. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern colour in darkness, only shades of grey. #### Ishgardian The Elezen of Ishgard left the Twelveswood all together over a millenia ago to found the city state of Ishgard. These Elezen have found themselves embroiled in a thousand year war with dragons, and live a life balancing war and strict adherence to their laws. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Strength score increases by 1. **Conscription.** You gain proficiency with shortswords, shortbows and spears. **Halone's Scriptures.** You gain proficiency in the Religion skill.
##### Arrogance or Confidence? The Elezen strongly believe in their abilities and their birthrights. Many races may see this as arrogance, but if you are able to see past their haughty attitudes, you will find a steadfast and reliable ally.

## Garlean *Only a man of power can rightly steer the course of civilization. And in this land of creeping mendacity, that one truth will prove its salvation.* -Gaius van Baelsar, Legatus of the XIV Legion The Garleans, who share the name of their Empire, are a people who had suffered greatly before finding the means to fight back, in doing so becoming conquerers in their own right. Garleans value advancement and ability, while looking down on those who are happy to sit in stagnation, and its this dogged dedication which has allowed them great success in the world. ### Physical Description The Garleans are a hearty people whose life under the imperial rule has provided them with strong bodies and minds. Their most striking feature though is the pearl like third eye which sits in the center of their forehead. This special third eye provides Garleans with improved spatial recognition. These two great assets were met only with a \columnbreak
damning disadvantage, an extreme difficulty when manipulating magic. Though there are Garleans capable of overcoming even this obstacle who go on to master aetherial manipulation as well. ### Displaced Conquerers The Garleans are a race of people who found themselves at a disadvantage in the world. Once living in the southern, warm reaches of Ilsabard, the Garleans found themselves forced north over time. Eventually they were forced to cross treacherous peaks which divided the north and south, leading to them settle in lands with long, bitter winters and short growing periods. Their misfortune would eventually lead to a great boon in the form of ceruleum, a fuel which they were able to take advantage of start a golden era of technology for themselves. \pagebreakNum ### Advent of Magitek As nearly all Garleans are unable to manipulate aether in their bodies, they found themselves defeated time and time again by those with an aptitude for magic. That was until the discovery of ceruleum, which after experimentation and engineering led the to the birth of magitek. This came in the creation of many machines and devices which could mimic magical effects and swung the pendulum in the Garleans favour. Within 50 years of the discovery they'd managed to form a vast empire which spanned three quarters of the great continents of Aldenard. ### Why They Adventure Garleans may adventure for a variety of reasons, but two stand out amongst all the possibilities. The first would be for the benefit of their empire, to act as an ambitious patriot who seeks to better Garlemand's position in the world through hard work. The other may be to seek freedom from the chains of their society, coming from a rigid hierarchy where moving upwards is only possible by military activity leaves a bad taste in many people's mouths, so in the name of freedom and peace some Garleans may break away from their homeland and chase their dreams. ### Garlean Names Garleans names often declare one's title within the Empire as their middle name. Otherwise their traditional names find their roots in Latin, having both a first and last name. **Male Garlean Names.** Aulus, Cid, Faust, Gaius, Ignatius, Kaius, Maxima, Nael, Nero, Noah, Quentin, Regula, Solus, Vitus, Zenos **Female Garlean Names.** Adora, Alma, Belva, Cella, Elysia, Gloria, Julia, Livia, Lucia, Minerva, Octavia, Rheya, Silvia, Vesta **Garlean Middle Titles.** van (Legatus), quo (Centurio), pyr (Assistant to Centurio), oen (veteran soldier), lux (head field engineer/medic), kir (veteran field engrineer/medic), jen (field engineer/medic), dus (civil servant), cen (artisan), bas (merchant), aan (person from annexed lands)
##### The Hierarchy A proper list of all known positions in the Garlean Empire can be found in Appendix F at the end of this resource on page 118.
**Garlean Surnames.** Arvina, Asina, Baelsar, Brutus, Darnus, Gabranth, Galvus, Garlond, Hydrus, Junius, Lexentale, Messalla, Priscus, Scaeva ### Garlean Traits Your Garlean character has a variety of natural abilities. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Intelligence score increases by 1. **Age.** Garleans live as long as the other races of Eorzea, reaching maturity around 18 years old and living on average to the age of 80. **Alignment.** Garleans tend toward a lawful alignment as their roots trace back to a highly ordered Empire where title and rank were held in high regard. **Size.** Garlean males on average tend to stand anywhere from 6 to 7 feet tall while their female counterparts tend to reach anywhere from 5 and a half to 6 feet tall. Your size is medium. **Imperial Education.** You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice and one set of artisan's tools of your choice.
##### Optional Racial Trait **Magically Inert.** You have great difficulty casting magic on your own power and require the aid of technology to do so. In the world of Final Fantasy XIV, the Garleans have a great deal of difficulty manipulating aether, which caused them a great deal of strife in the past. It is not impossible for a Garlean to gain the ability to do so, and half garleans have no trouble at all thanks to their mixed blood. When playing a casting class as a Garlean should have their casting focus flavoured to account for this. For example a Garlean Wizard could have a staff which recharges magic energy over time and uses that charged staff to cast spells. Their spell slots recovering when the staff recharges at the end of a long rest.
**Spatial Insight.** You gain proficiency in the Investigation skill. **Third Eye.** You gain proficiency in the Perception skill. Additionally, ranged weapon attacks you make have an increased normal range of 10ft. **Speed.** Your base walking speed is 30ft. **Languages.** You can speak, read and write Common, Garlean and one extra language of your choice.
##### Conquerers The Garleans and the Garlean Empire have incurred the disdain of many races across the land. Those who within the Empire are often patriotic within the homeland, while hateful in the annexed regions. As such most races who are not Garleans have a hatred for them until they prove their intentions are good.

## Hrothgar *During the Third Astral Era, Queen Gunnhildr united the fragmented tribes of Hrothgar to rise up and drove off the Allagans, eventually going on to found the nation of Bozja.* -Misija
Hrothgar had a difficult start in the world initially, lacking knowledge of the common tongue of the land, they often found themselves at odds with their more well spoken races of the world. In time these fiercely misunderstood people managed to learn the language of the land and peace was brokered between them and the other races. Afterwards, a friendly neighbourly relationship formed between their home nation of Bozja and the rest of the world. \columnbreak
### Claws, Fur and Fury The Hrothgar are a powerful people who boast broad frames, feline reflexes and fierce appearances which are marked by their sharp claws and pointed fangs. Their race suffers from having a large disproportion between the males and females of their kind, which males make up a staggering number of their kin. This has also led to the Hrothgar to adopt a matriarchy in their homeland which rallied many, but drove many away as well, leading to them becoming known as The Lost. ### A Question of Servitude The Hrothgar split into two distinct groups of people over their ways of life coming into conflict. The Helions, who are easily identified by the warm colours of their fur, were found mainly in the southern parts of their homeland and their lives revolved around their Queen. General most Helions are devout servants to their Queen. In comparison The Lost boasted a more free spirited, nomadic life style, wanting to live their lives unbound by the whims of a Queen. As they live as nomads they often practice various professions from seasonal work, to mercenary, to merchant. Often they avoid professions which will force them \pagebreakNum to put roots down. Their fur is often coloured in cool hues, which is said to reflect their independence and the choice to leave the warm embrace of their Queen. ### War Torn Homeland The Hrothgar hail from a tropical region in Southern Ilsabard known as Bozja. Born of an intense struggle against the allagan empire centuries ago, Bozja is lead by Queen Gunnhildr, a title bestowed upon the woman with the greatest aptitude for a rare power of future sight, who goes on to select her successor. Due to a severe accident that leveled the capital city, Bozja has become a war torn land controlled by the Garlean Empire, dutifully fought for by a resistance of patriots trying to save their homeland. ### Its My Life The Hrothgar have seen their kind split based on lifestyle choices between servitude and freedom. This ideological decision drives these people forward, the Helions setting off on adventure in the name of their Queen to protect her or their homeland, while for The Lost adventure is a key part of their existence, needing to constantly travel to survive. ### Hrothgar Names Hrothgar names generally are shared between the Helions and the Lost, the difference in their naming stemming from traditional family names.

## Hyur *Thal's Balls...I'd forgotten what it was like to feel so alive! Not since leaving the Bloodsands have I had the privilege. Not since the Bull of Ala Mhigo hung up his swords. Back then, the outcome might have been different. But I do not begrudge you your victory. I know how far you have come, how much you have endured. Our fight only confirmed it. We shall have to do this again one day, when time allows.* -Raubahn Aldynn, The Bull of Ala Mhigo
Around 1000 years ago, the Hyur spread across the land in a great migration from the north. They made their homes wherever they could set their footing. Some took to the mountains, while others found a foot hold in any city which would accept them. Today the Hyur are one of the most populous races in the world. \columnbreak
### Of Average Build The Hyur are a race of average sized humanoids whom one may view as an average group of people, lacking distinguishing features such as pointed ears, immense size or horns. Over time Hyur have diverged into two distinct groups, the Midlanders and Highlanders. Midlanders are widespread across the land and come in all shapes and colours, becoming prevalent in all cities. Highlanders in comparison are taller than their Midlander counterparts, boasting a more powerful, muscular build. ### A Matter of Location The differences between the Midlanders and Highlanders was born from their homes long ago. The Highlanders are named for living at a high elevation, mountains in particular. These tough living conditions lead to a heartier, more physically powerful people. The Midlanders lived at sea level and across the world, which minimized changes due to life in extreme conditions. \pagebreakNum ### People of the World Hyur as a whole make up a large percentage of the population in the world. Over a thousand years ago the Hyur immigrated in massive waves from their homelands and made their homes wherever their feet hit the ground. Highlanders are a special case within the Hyur, famed for their mountainous city of Ala Mhigo. In recent years, the Ala Mighans were forced from their homes to immigrate across the world, mixing into the cities across the world themselves. ### Glory and Prosperity The Hyur are a hardworking and ambitious people, no matter what walk of life they come from. It is for this reason that for every Hyur in the world, there could be a different reason to seek adventure. Some may head out on the road for the value of the journey itself, while others may do so in search of riches. Some Hyur may be adventuring on another's behalf, perhaps their family sitting at home, or to defend their people from an imminent threat. In a world with so many possibilities, it does not take much convincing to bring a Hyur to action. ### Hyur Names The names of the Hyur are in the common tongue of the land. Midlander may take names which are appropriate for the culture in which they live while Highlanders take names which have a harshness in their pronunciation. As a surname, Midlanders will often take a descriptive name for their physical traits or profession. Highlanders prefer to earn their surnames in battle, using feats of martial prowess or names with violent imagery. **Male Midlander Names.** Odard, Redwald, Kenward, Herebert, Acwuld, Edward, Roderic, Eadwine **Female Midlander Names.** Rowena, Hilda, Agatha, Hrodwyn, Goldyna, Hounild, Edusa, Beyhild, Mathilda, Tonild, Somerhild, Rimilde **Male Highlander Names.** Sigmundr, Arnar, Armond, Varin, Bard, Hordr, Ogmundr, Hallgrim, Thordr, Raubahn **Female Highlander Names.** Marte, Cathrine, Yngvildr, Helene, Kolgrima, Katie, Myrun, Kaolin, Kaia, Kamilla **Midlander Surnames.** Taylor, Faulkner, Browne, Parker, Forrest, River, Miller, Draper, Fletcher, Hill, Thatcher **Highlander surnames.** Fury, Burne, Savage, Stronge.

## Lalafell *But I will see them suffer no longer. The victory feast shall provide the stage on which I declare the dissoultion of the sultanate.

No more shall this nation bow to the whims of a privileged few.* -Nanamo Ul Namo, Sultana of Ul'Dah

## Miqo'te *The Nunh that I once fought also believed that his strrrength would save him. He was wrong, and I am now Nunh. Many years ago I joined the Company of Heroes to hone my skills instead of challenging my predecessor before I was ready. Even when I was young I understood that victorrrry goes to the patient, the cunning, the pragmatic."* -U'odh Nunh, leader of the Drake Tribe The Miqo'te are an aloof people who value their independence from the world. Centuries ago the Miqo'te migrated, Seekers spreading across the world in low numbers while Keepers finding dense forests as a new home. Traditionally they avoid the other races, but over time more and more Miqo'te have integrated into society with pockets of die hard traditional Miqo'te tribes surviving out in the world. \columnbreak
### Lithe Hunters The Miqo'te are a feline race with large catlike ears, fanged teeth and long tails. They have a highly tuned sense of smell and powerful legs, which have allowed them to become natural hunters. The Seekers of the Sun's ears are wider with thicker fur, while the Keepers of the Moon's ears are longer and stylized, with shorter fur. Futhermore, the eyes of the Seekers has developed such that the pupils are slit light, to help guard their eyes from the exposure of the sun, while the Keepers' pupils have become large and rounded. Many more women are born into the tribes and clans of the Miqo'te people. \pagebreakNum ### Of Suns and Moons The Seekers or the Sun and Keepers of the Moon are two distinct ethnicities falling under the Miqo'te. Their cultures differ greatly down to the social structures of their groups. The Seekers live in male dominant societies centered around an alpha male known as the Nuhn, and worship the god Azeyma. In contrast the Keepers live in a matriarchal society and worship the goddess Menphina. ### Arid Sands and Dense Woods The hot, arid deserts of Southern Thanalan are home to one of the most famed tribes of the Seekers of the Sun. Seekers can be found anywhere across the world, barring cold regions with a harsh winter climate. Those who integrate into larger cities tend to discard their tribal ties and take up the social norms of the city in which they live. Keepers of the Moon have taken to the dense forests away from the heat of the sun. ### Adventure Calls The Miqo'te tend to differ on their approach to life depending on their ethnicity. The Seekers of the Sun are bold individuals who are quick to jump into action, but also become bored easily. This natural need for excitement may call a Miqo'te to action, leading them out into the world to explore. Those from traditional tribes may leave their tribe seeking to start their own clan of Seekers, becoming the alpha of their group. Keepers are guarded and brooding, which may stall them from setting out on a journey, but when the need arises to protect family, friends or their home, a Keeper will stop at nothing to protect that which they cherish. ### Miqo'te Names Seekers of the sun use a simple naming convention. Male names are one or two syllables and preceded by a letter which is associated with the tribe. The extra aitches (H) we see in names such as represent a slight hissing/spitting sound that is made when the name is pronounced by the cat-like Miqo’te. Many of the other races in Eorzea cannot accurately reproduce this sound, so the aitches (H) end up going silent when read. They do not take a family name, but instead are given the name Tia at birth. A Tia may change their surname to Nunh by challenging the tribes breeding male and defeating him in battle. If successful the two trade titles. Female seekers' first names are given in the same way with three or more syllables, but the surname is the first name of the breeding male who sired her. The tribal prefix often gets dropped in casual conversation and with close friends and family. The female Keepers use one to two syllable first names without a tribal prefix due to their small communities. Additionally in their culture the mother's surname is passed on to the children. The males born into the Keepers' communities take both of their mother's names, adding a suffix to the end of their first name to indicate their birth order counting the males. It is rare that more than 3 suffixes are needed. **Male Seeker Names.** I'wheto, S'ciwah, Q'tuja, P'fhemeh, I'chelu, B'cuhguh, S'tohm, S'ghut, M'bod, I'phur. **Female Seeker Names.** C'nhamfaule, C'qhaalkamo, D'mhagsoo, G'ganni, H'yhaafoqu, J'gidhiju, K'jotnhu, L'keknhegu, M'yhaiabdu, N'zhamroli **Male Keeper Names.** Axah'a, Gohkoh'to, Luhga'li, Mahgeh'sae, Mucih'ra, Nohpu'ir, Sahxa'wo, Suleh'ya, Vehse'zi, Wizo'tan. **Female Keeper Names.** Nuhmu, Ota, Pehbi, Vehba, Yaba, Miko, Fafoh, Cehxi, Xarih, Ecih **Keeper Surnames.** Dagnheive, Dopsha, Gauvro, Jadnhapo, Jhendaka, Khutnauyu, Phemfa, Mhento, Rheibfuqe, Ruyhaia.

## Roegadyn *They sought to secure a place to breed and multiply, that their kind might survive. Self-preservation, as you say. But we have as much right to live and thrive as they.

### Separate Paths The Viera are a race of both males and females, but outside of necessary meetings to keep their race continuing onwards and taking the male children who have reached adulthood, they lead separate lives. The males of the Viera live secretive, lonely lives in which they shun everyone, even their own kin to fully pursue their sacred role as a Wood-warder. The Wood-warders patrol the Golmore Jungle and ensure no outsiders reach their former homes. That isn't to say the women are defenseless though, as the female Viera are as capable as the men, but turn their attention to defend their young and homes. \pagebreakNum ### People of the Wood The word Viera itself means "people of the wood" and true to their name, in different forests of Dalmasca. Both the Rava and the Veena boast tall, lithe frames and graceful traits of rabbits. The Rava make their home in the Golmore Jungle and grew to have umber skin and dark hair, allowing them to more easily blend in with the forest. In stark contract the Veena have very light skin and fair hair help them blend in with the Skatay Range they call home. ### Of Jungles and Forests Both the Rava and Veena clans make their homes exclusively in the Golmore Jungle, or the primeval forests which line the southwestern foothills of the Skatay Range, respectively. Both locations are large, sprawling canopies of forest which provide them with all the Viera need to survive. In addition to the thick forest canopy, the Skatay Range boasts white mountains which the Veena has grown to use as a secondary home. Both the Rava and Veena guard their homes with violence and without prejudice, anyone who enters their forest homes may be privy to a hostile reception. ### The Green Word The Viera's set of laws are considered to be the laws of the forest in which they live. The Viera take jobs under this set of laws and restrict themselves from having contact with the world outside of their forest. Among many other restrictions the Viera subject themselves to, some find their ways off putting. If a Viera chooses to leave the forest they are considered an outsider from that day forward. These strict laws often drive Viera with a fire in their heart away to seek adventure. ### Viera Names Viera names are often short in nature, normally only 4 characters long. The letter "J" is used as a vowel in their tongue creating confusion at times for those who are not familiar with the Viera language. Despite close attention to purity in their bloodlines, the Viera do not worry about lineage and do not have family names. **Male Viera Names.** Atan, Morn, Tjln, Frjn *Unsure as to true examples of male names but will give some example names until official material is released* **Female Viera Names.** Fran, Jote, Mjrn, Kryn, Ktjn ### Viera Traits Your Viera character has a variety of natural abilities. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Dexterity score increases by 2. **Age.** Viera reach physical maturity at the same pace as all the other races, but once reaching adulthood live roughly three times as long as the other races, approximately 240 years. **Alignment.** The Trueblooded Viera tend toward a Lawful nature, as they have a strict code of staying within the woods and living their lives, while adventurers who leave home tend towards a more Chaotic alignment as they're a people who live outside of tradition. \columnbreak **Size.** The Rava are tall and lithe people who reach an average height just over 6ft. tall, while the Veena are shorter, with an average height around 5ft. 8 inches tall. Your size is medium. **Speed.** Your base walking speed is 35ft. **Lapine Hop.** Your maximum high jump and long jump distances are 10ft. higher than how it would be normally calculated. **Lucky.** When you roll a 1 on an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can re-roll the die and must use the new roll. **Mask of the Wild.** You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena. **Speak with Small Beasts.** Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas with Small or smaller beasts. **Languages.** You can speak, read and write Common and Viera. **Subrace.** The Viera's bloodline has split into two distinct groups, the dark skinned Veena and the fair skinned Rava.
##### Loyal To Others The Viera are a race of people who warm to others slowly, keeping other races at an arms length and keeping their own kind divided even further. But once someone manages to break through this hesitation they'll find a stalwart ally. **Au Ra.** "Their nomadic life style and deep traditions is quite similar to ourselves and the Green Law. I may find their way of doing things strange but I can appreciate their way of life all the same." **Miqo'te.** "The Miqo'te seem to be great hunters, I can't help but wonder who the better between us would be. I respect their ability."
#### Rava Making their home in the Gelmore Jungle, the Rava are a tall, powerful race with an intimating presence about them. Their powerful bodies and unrelenting tactics in the forest make the Rava powerful friends and more dangerous foes. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Wisdom score increases by 1. **Powerful Presence.** You gain proficiency in the Intimidate skill. #### Veena Hailing from the forests which grow about the Skatay Range, the Veena defend their home with just as much vigor as the Rava, but have a much easier time if they leave their homes due to their more average size and softer appearance. Due to the rise of war near their homeland, many Veena left the Skatay Range, joining many pockets of civilization. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Intelligence score increases by 1. **Approachable.** You gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill. \pagebreakNum ## Chapter 2: Classes The adventurers in the world of Final Fantasy XIV come from countless walks of life and practice a wide range of jobs and disciplines.

## Astrologian Gazing at the stars through their intricate telescope, the Astrologian notes the expected time until the next wave of attacks would fall upon the city, allowing their home to place their defenses properly. The mysterious rot running through the forest threatened the lives of the small village. With a chime of their bell and the reading of the land's lifeblood, the geomancer was able to find the secret behind the plague ravaging the region. In the back of a lively tavern, the veiled fortune teller overturned card after card, weaving the story of their patrons future, offering guidance to avoid the possible pitfalls lying in wait for them. Humanity has always sought insight into the future, and the astrologians are one of the many groups formed of this primal wish. Using a variety of methods they look to the stars and a variety of rituals to discern the highs and lows of the future and the best plan of action to approach the coming tides. ### The Celestial Web It is said that fate is written in the stars, and Astrologians look to the stars to better understand the great picture they live within. Whether the distance stars in the sky or the planet, often referred to as a star itself, it all lives in an interconnected net of information which many aspiring stargazers attempt to understand. ### To Read Fate Astrologians in their many forms use a variety of tools to attempt to pierce the veil. Some make use of precisely designed devices formed of lenses and measurement tools to track the stars and impart the findings via tarot cards. Some use various ritual tools like sacred bells to call on the land to impart its wisdom and allow them to read parts of the great celestial story through its leylines, and others use the traditional deck of sixty by itself to explore fate. ### Creating an Astrologian Astrology is often an art that is passed down, highly difficult to grasp alone you likely had a mentor you learned the art from and received your fortunte telling tools from. Be it a formal education in the Sharlayan style, under the tutelage of geomancers or from a wandering fortuneteller, your path could have departed from many places. Consider why you may set off on a journey as well, was a grave danger found in your divinations? Do you seek to help guide those you meet as you travel the world or perhaps you simply wish to hone your skills. ### Quick Build You can make an Astrologian quickly by following these suggestions. First make Wisdom your highest ability score, following with Constitution. Second take the sage background. Third, take the Dancing Lights, Sacred Flame, Guidance and cantrips and choose the Sharlayan Astrology Divination School. Fourth, prepare the Cure Wounds and Divine Favor spells. \columnbreak

##### Divination Deck The Divination Deck is a tool used to perform fortune telling. You understand how to tell fortunes via tarot decks with this proficiency.
\pagebreakNum ### Spellcasting As a student of astrology, you can cast Astrologian spells. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Astrologian spell list. #### Cantrips At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the Astrologian spell list. You learn additional Astrologian cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Astrologian table. #### Preparing and Casting Spells The Astrologian table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Astrologian 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. You prepare the list of Astrologian spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Astrologian spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Astrologian spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Astrologian level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 3rd-level Astrologian, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Astrologian spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. #### Spellcasting Ability Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Astrologian spells. The power of your spells comes from your understanding of astrological powers. You use your Wisdom whenever a Astrologian spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Astrologian spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. **Spell save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier **Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier #### Ritual Casting You can cast a Astrologian spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use a star globe, planisphere or other similar tools as an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the player's handbook) for your astrologian spells. \columnbreak ### Divination School At 1st level, you choose the divination school you learned astromancy under: the Sharlayan school, Geomancy school or as an independent Fortuneteller, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your archetype choice grants you features at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 10th and 14th level. ### Divination Also starting at 1st level, as an action, you have learned to use your divination tools to draw forth power and bestow it to others by performing a reading. As an action you roll 1d6, the number shown corresponds to the divination result. You then may apply the effect to yourself or another creature within 30ft. that you can see. The effect of the boon lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier with a minimum of 1 round. A creature may only have one Divination effect at a time and applying a new effect replaces the old effect. You may complete a number of divination readings equal to your Astrologian level. These uses of Divination are recovered when you complete a short or long rest.
##### Divination Effects | Divination Result | Die Result | Divination Effect| |:----:|:-:|:-------------:| | Bravery | 1 |The creature gains a 1d6 bonus to damage rolls, once per action, bonus action, and reaction. This bonus increases to 2d6 at 5th level, 3d6 at 11th level, and 4d6 at 17th level.| | Resilience | 2 |All damage the creature takes is reduced by 1d6. This increases to 2d6 at the 5th level, 3d6 at the 11th level and 4d6 at the 17th level.| | Activity | 3 |You gain one extra attack when you take the attack action.| | Precision | 4 |Your attack rolls crit on a 19 or 20 die result.| | Knowledge | 5 |Creature has advantage on saving throws against spell effects.| | Triumph | 6 |Creature has advantage on attack rolls.|
##### Divination Theme You may have noticed I've changed the divination results from the FFXIV arcana to more general terms. This was done to accommodate the inclusion of Geomancy to the class. I encourage you to use the original names if it feels right though! For reference they are as follows: The Balance (Bravery), The Bole (Resilience), The Arrow (Activity), Precision (The Spear), The Ewer (Knowledge), Triumph (The Spire).
\pagebreakNum ### Astrodyne Also beginning at 2nd level, you have learned to weave your spells to power your influence over the strings of fate. When you cast a spell using a spell slot, you regain a Divination. ### Time Dilation At 2nd level, you have learned how to delay the release of your spells, allowing them to grow in power or activate at the perfect moment. When you cast a spell you can choose to concentrate on the spell and as a reaction cause the spell to take effect. If you concentrate on the spell in this way until your next turn, its effect will be released as though you cast it one level higher than you originally cast it. You may only increase the spell level by one in this way. If your concentration is broken, the spell effect is released. For example, if you cast the Cure Wounds spell at 1st level and choose to concentrate on it to delay the release. You may release the spell in response your ally being hit with an attack. If you concentrate on the spell until the start of your next turn you may release the spell at the 2nd 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. ### Redivine Beginning at the 5th level, when you use the Divination feature, as a bonus action you may reroll the result of the d6 before applying its effect. You may only use the new result. ### Spread Beginning at the 11th level, when you use the Divination feature, as a bonus action you may set set the effect aside for later use, adding it to your spread. You may have a number of divinations in your spread equal to your Wisdom modifier. On your turn, as a bonus action you may use any effect from your spread. The divinations in your spread lose their power when you complete a long rest. ### Dual Divination Beginning at the 17th level, when you use the Divination action, you may perform and use two divinations. Each result consumes an available divination. As a bonus action you may place one or both divinations into your spread. ### Exaltation Beginning at 18th level, as an action, you may expend an available divination to reapply a Divination effect on a creature within Divination range. \columnbreak ### Strings of Fate Beginning at the 20th level, when you roll initiative you recover a number of available divinations equal to your Wisdom modifier. ## Answers in the Stars Astrologians have come in many forms across time as cultures always seek ways to divine the future and their fortunes. Today there are varied disciplines that seek these answers and impart the wisdom of beyond. Sharlayan Astrology is a school which looks to the stars above to learn of fates near and far. Geomancers, the astrologians of Hingashi look to what is known as the star below, or the planet itself for their divinations. Fortunetellers incorporate many tools and implementations, but their focus is to seek answers in deeper than any other. ### Sharlayan Astrology The Sharlayans make use of astrometers, spherical devices with many measurement tools and lenses, to read the stars and combine their tool with the Deck of Sixty, a tarot deck featuring the twelve gods of Eorzea. With these tools they attempt to learn the fate written in the stars to help guide their friends, allies and in some cases their homelands themselves. They draw their magic from the stars and use it to punish foes with stellar magics and heal the wounded with celestial energy. #### Fortunate Healer Beginning at 1st level, whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, you may expend an available divination to further empower the heal. The creature regains additional hit points equal to 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier. #### Premonition Reading Beginning at 3rd level, you may expend an available draw to assist you in revealing dangers of the area. As an action you may do a quick reading to scan for traps in the area, giving you advantage on perception checks for 1 minute. #### Aspected Benefic Beginning at 6th level, when you cast a spell of the 1st-level or higher that restores the hit points of an ally, you may leave a regenerative effect on all affected allies. After the spell is cast, the affected creatures recover 1d6 hit points at the start of their turn for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom ability modifier. You must then finish a short or long rest to use Aspected Benefic again. #### Lightspeed Beginning at 10th level, you may cast a 1st, 2nd or 3rd-level spell you have prepared as a bonus action by spending a number of available divinations equal to the level of the spell you wish to cast. \pagebreakNum #### Astral Fortune Beginning at 14th level, when you use the Fortunate Healing feature, the additional healing becomes 6 + your Wisdom Modifier. Additionally, you may roll 1d6 and apply the appropriate effect as if you had used the Divination action. ### Geomancy In the far east in the land of Hingashi, Geomancers fill the role of diviners in society. These scholars look to the leylines of the planet and divination tools related to the earth and bells to read markings in the land to perceive potential futures, as though fate had been imprinted upon the ground we walk, its the Geomancers with the ability to uncover these secrets. #### Expanded Spell List Geomancy lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you are preparing your astrologian spells.

You are unaffected by the negative effects of the area and you may designate up to a number of creatures equal to your wisdom ability modifier to be immune to the effect as well. When you move the area moves with you. ### Fortuneteller Fortunetellers diverge from the close study of the stars as a whole and focus mainly on the readings of the Deck of Sixty, their trusty tarot decks, and supplementing this with various other divination methods as they see fit. Fortunetellers often pass their arts between master and student rather than being a part of an official school of thought, leading to a far wider breadth of interpretation of results and approach. #### Minor Arcana Beginning at 1st level, you have learned to take advantage of the minor arcana of your tarot deck or more subtle details of your divination. When you use the Divination feature, on a die result 1, 3 or 5 you may use the card to make a ranged Spell attack that deals 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier force damage to a creature within 30ft. of you that you can see. On a die result 2, 4 or 6 you may use the card to heal 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier hit points to a creature within 30ft. of you that you can see. The potency of this effect increases to 2d6 at 6th level, 3d6 at 10th level and 4d6 at the 14th level. You may not use both the effect of Divination and Minor Arcana in a single action. \pagebreakNum
\columnbreak #### Twisting Fate Beginning at 3rd level, you have learned how to bend the results of your fortune telling. When you use your Divination feature, you may roll 2d6 and select which die is the true result of the reading. #### Horoscope Beginning at 6th level, you may use your Time Dialation feature on your Divination or Minor Arcana features. If you maintain concentration until your next turn you can change the result to a result of your choice. #### Reversed Fortune Beginning at 10th level, when you use the Divination feature you may choose to apply a reversed divination to a creature, bringing bad omens to the creature. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your Spell Save DC, suffering the effect for 1 minute on a failure. They may use their action on their turn to re-attempt the saving throw. The effects of Reversed Fortune are as follows:
##### Reversed Fortune Effects | Divination Result | Die Result | Divination Effect| |:----:|:-:|:-------------:| | Cowardice | 1 |Damage the creature deals is reduced by 2d6 on all damage rolls. This applies on the first attack the creature makes on its turn. This increases to 3d6 at the 11th level and 4d6 at the 17th level.| | Frailty | 2 |All damage the creature takes is increased by 2d6. This damage is applied on the first attack the creature takes until the start of its next turn. This increases 3d6 at the 11th level and 4d6 at the 17th level.| | Apathy | 3 |The creature may only make one attack action on its turn.| | Wavering | 4 |The creature's attack rolls are reduced by 2 and rolling a natural 20 does not result in a critical hit.| | Foolishness | 5 | Creature has disadvantage on saving throws against spell effects.| | Failure | 6 | Creature has disadvantage on attack rolls.|
#### Greater Divination Beginning at 14th level, as an action you may make use of each of your card divination features. Roll 6d6 and select 3 results. Two are added to your Spread and one may be used for the Divination or Minor Arcana feature. This expends three uses of Divination. You may use Greater Divination once. Use of this feature is recovered when you complete a short or long rest. \pagebreakNum
## Gridanian Bard Nestled in the trees at the edge of the wood, a skilled bowmaster watches their mark wander the plains 100 yalms away. With a slight smile they let loose an arrow toppling the creature in a single shot. In the thick of battle, a fearless singer's voice belows out above the clash of steel, their voice imbued with magic, ushering great power unto their allies, turning the tide of battle. In preparation for an upcoming battle, a careful hunter crafts a series of poisons and douses their arrow heads. Though their attacks appear simple, the poison running through their future mark will ravage its body. Gridanian Bards are a somewhat young profession in Eorzea, but one of great effect for the Black Shroud. Historically finding their beginnings as archers, these bards mix sword and song in order to protect themselves and their allies in the heat of battle. ### Songs for the souls One of the originators of the craft was a disgraced commander who travelled the land singing songs to soothe the spirits of their dead allies. In time this commemorative art would find great utility on the battle field and then go on to be widely practiced across the world. ### Of Lyres and Lyrics Bards make use of musical instruments and their own voice to weave beautiful musical pieces that have magical properties. Their ability to soothe wounds, fend off danger and weaken foes has made their presence invaluable on the battle field. ### Creating a Bard Bards traditionally are specially trained by some sort of mentor figure who assists them in unlocking the potential of spells through song. This is not always that case though as some are able to unlock these secrets for themselves. You must also consider how to treat these mystical arts, do you follow their purposes of the past where they served to soothe spirits and support military units, or have you taken music back as a free lance wanderer, weaving songs and stories for the masses. A bard at heart is a free spirit who can use their magical power how they see fit. ### Quick Build You can make a Gridanian Bard quickly by following these suggestions. First make Dexterity your highest ability score, following with Charisma. Second take the Entertainer background. Third, take the archery fighting style.

To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6. Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest. Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level. ### Fighting Style At 1st level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty.

\columnbreak ## Black Mage A Lalafell stands before a horde of kobolds, blood thirsty they dash towards him. With a few skillful waves of his staff, a large fire ball erupts from the gem inlaid at the end of the staff, causing a massive fiery explosion, leaving nothing but ash. A woman wearing dark robes grins as she waves her wand before a guard refusing her entry. With a few choice words and a spell, the guard happily steps aside, unlocking the passage bowing to her as she passes. An Elezen laughs at the umbral hue of his magics as he unleashes a fireball empowered by dark magics upon his foes, his demonic servant chuckling at his side watching the dust settle. A black mage is a powerful ally who wields forbidden magic. This raw energy manifests itself into devastating spells and effects. Their power is only rivaled by their thirst to increase that power. ### A Dark Past In days long past, there existed an powerful clan of mages and their arcane art known as black magic—a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the path of ruin. Adventurers who take the black will become agents of devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through little more than the force of their will. ### Ties to the Void In order for a mage to don the black, they must extensively research what they call the void. This is another plane of existence from which Black Mages draw knowledge from in order to unlock power within themselves. Most black mages are able to explore the knowledge gained from the void through tomes and texts now, but some who thirst for new power may attempt to tap into the void directly. Black Mages continue to grow within their craft through continuing their study of the dark arts. ### Creating a Black Mage Black Mages are earnest in their desires and reasons for taking the black. More often than not it is in the pursuit of power or out of sheer curiousity. You must know why you are pursuing this power, or why you are curious about the dark arts. You must also decide where you began to dip your toes into the world of black magic. Did you join a cult of mages who studied the art? Perhaps a proper school which provides the proper materials to explore black mage. Maybe you were taken under the wing of a mentor who has mastered the art. \pagebreakNum

The cost represents material components You expend as You experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks You need to record it. Once You have spent this time and money, You can prepare the spell just like your other spells. > >**Replacing the Book.** You can copy a spell from your own spellbook into another book-for example, if You want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier, since You understand your own notation and already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell. If You lose your spellbook, You can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that You have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires You to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many mages keep backup spellbooks in a safe place. > >**The Book's Appearance.** Your spellbook is a unique compilation of spells, with its own decorative f10urishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, functionalleather volume that You received as a gift from your master, a finely bound gilt-edged tome You found in an ancient library, or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use a rod, cane, wand or other similar equipment as a Spellcasting focus for your Black Mage Spells. \pagebreakNum #### Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher Each time you gain a Black Mage level, you can add two Black Mage Spells of your choice to your Spellbook for free. Each of these Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots, as shown on the Black Mage table. On your Adventures, you might find other Spells that you can add to your Spellbook (see “Your Spellbook”). ### Manafont At 1st level, you have unlocked the secrets of storing magical energy in your body and utilizing it to assist your spell casting. #### Mana points You have one Mana point, and you gain more as you reach higher levels, as shown in the Mana Points column of the Black Mage table. You can never have more mana points than shown on the table for your level. You regain all spent mana points when you finish a long rest. #### Leylines When you cast a spell, the residual mana from your spell temporarily creates a leyline, which can be manipulated with your manafont. If you cast a spell last turn and have not moved or taken any other actions during your turn, you may spend a number of mana points equal to that spell's level to cast an evocation spell equal to or lower than that level without expending a spell slot. Your turn immediately ends after casting the spell. You can cast spells in this way no higher in level than 5th. ### Magical Discipline At 2nd level, you choose the discipline you belong to as a Black Mage. Mhachi, Enchanter, or Void Mage, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your archetype choice grants you features at the 2nd, 6th, 10th and 14th 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. ### Surecaster Beginning at the 18th level, as a bonus action, you may expend 5 mana points to achieve an impregnable state of mind. You pass all concentration checks automatically for the next 10 minutes. ### Resonating Aether Beginning at the 20th level, you regain half your missing mana points when you roll initiative. \columnbreak ## Bringers of the end Unabated use of black magic lead to the downfall of the society in which black mages find their roots alongside the white mage's overuse of white magic. Black Mages wield incredibly destructive powers which set their world on a path to destruction once before, and careless use of this power could do so again. The Mhachi specializes in powerful, destructive magic, an Enchanter uses charms and poison to cripple their foes, and a Void Mage has focused their studies on manipulating the void to gain greater magical strength. ### Mhachi The Machi are mages who specialize in the destructive arts. The Mhachi are the ones who created the art of Black Magic. Through deep introspection, they've learned to use their manafont to increase their destructive power. #### Expanded Spell List Your specialization as a Mhachi lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a black mage spell. The following spells are added to the blackmage spell list for you. ##### Expanded Spell List | Spell Level | Spell | |:----:|:-------------| | 1st | *Chromatic Orb, Witch Bolt* | | 2nd | **Aganazzar's Scorcher**, **Snilloc's Snowball Swarm** | | 3rd | *Call Lightning, Sleet Storm* | | 4th | *Ice Storm, Storm Sphere* | | 5th | *Cone of Cold, Immolation* | #### Unstable Aether Beginning at the 2nd level, when you cast a spell, you may spend one mana point to reroll any damage die which resulted in a 1 or 2. You must use the resulting rolls. #### Polygot Beginning at the 6th level, your magical studies have warped your mind and understanding of the world. You can read all writing. #### Aetherial Manipulation Beginning at the 10th level, you are able to more effectively manipulate your Leylines. Your movement is no longer restricted when making use of your Leylines feature. Casting a spell with the effect of Leylines still immediately ends your turn. Additionally, if you expended a spell slot during your last turn, as a bonus action, you may spend one mana point to magically teleport back to the location you were standing in when you cast the spell if the space is unoccupied. \pagebreakNum #### Devestating Force Beginning at the 14th level, when you roll damage for a spell and roll the highest number possible on any of the dice, choose one of those dice, roll it again and add that roll to the damage. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest. ### Enchanter While many Black Mages focus their studies on the destructive arts, the Enchanter has shifted their study to empower their allies and weaken their allies through the use of powerful magics. #### Expanded Spell List Your specialization as an Enchanter lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a blackmage spell. The following spells are added to the blackmage spell list for you. ##### Expanded Spell List | Spell Level | Spell | |:----:|:-------------| | 1st | *Bless, **Cause Fear*** | | 2nd | *Enlarge/Reduce, Magic Weapon* | | 3rd | *Slow, Haste* | | 4th | *Blight, Charm Monster* | | 5th | *Dominate Person, Hold Monster* | #### Point of Influence Beginning at the 2nd level, you are able to use your Leylines feature for both enchantment and evocation spells. #### Silvered Tongue Beginning at the 6th level, your focus on enchantment magic has improved your speech. You gain proficiency in one of the following skills: deception, intimidation, persuasion. If you are already proficient in that skill, you gain expertise with it. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses the chosen skill. Additionally, you may use Intelligence as your ability score for the selected skill. #### Unshaken Will Beginning at the 10th level, when you must make a wisdom saving throw, you may spend 1 mana point to gain advantage on the saving throw. #### Deep Influence Beginning at the 14th level, when you cast an enchantment spell, you may spend 1 mana point to cause the target to have disadvantage on their saving throw. \columnbreak ### Void Mage A Void mage is a Black Mage who has focused their research on harnessing the power of The Void and the dark creatures who live within it. This has granted the Black Mage proficiency over dark magic which they wield with authority. #### Expanded Spell List Your specialization as a Void Mage lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a blackmage spell. The following spells are added to the blackmage spell list for you. ##### Expanded Spell List | Spell Level | Spell | |:----:|:-------------| | 1st | *Armor of Agathys, Arms of Hadar* | | 2nd | *Ray of Enfeeblement, **Shadow Blade*** | | 3rd | *Hunger of Hadar, **Summon Lesser Demon*** | | 4th | *Banishment, **Summon Greater Demon*** | | 5th | *Contact Other Plane (Ritual), **Negative Energy Flood*** | #### Void Casting Beginning at 2nd level, when you cast a spell, you may spend one mana point to change the damage type of the spell to necrotic. When you change the damage type of your spell in this way it does additional damage equal to your Intelligence ability modifier. This bonus applies to your spell once. #### Void Sense Beginning at 6th level, you have learned to borrow power from the void to improve your senses and causing your eyes to glow with dim red light. You may spend 1 mana point to gain darkvision out to 60ft. for one hour. If you already have darkvision, the range is increased by 60ft. Additionally, you gain advantage on perception checks that use your eyes while under this effect. #### Ebony Offense At 10th level, necrotic damage you deal is unaffected by resistances. As a bonus action, you may spend a mana point to overcome necrotic damage immunity for your next spell. #### Bloody Veil Beginning at the 14th level, when you kill a creature with a spell of first level or higher with necrotic damage, you gain temporary hit points equal to the spell's level multiplied by your Intelligence ability modifier. \pagebreakNum
##### Pre-Project Meteor Survivor Blue Mage Click [HERE!](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-O-vLq1DCIdLluNve6eL) to find the original build of the Blue Mage.
\columnbreak ## Blue Mage With a critical eye and a analytical approach, the researcher records their notes with perfect accuracy for later. With these new findings, their newest monstrous magic will be complete. Before the death throes of the dangerous beast, the azure warrior stood tall and bathed in their aether, coming to understand the true nature of their foe, and how to weild their strength for themselves. Speaking words of power and focusing intently, the cerulean shaman twisted their very spirit to reflect the power of a foes long past, unleashing the gales of a griffon upon their foe. Blue Mages are as unique as they are dangerous. Capable of learning the magic of monsters through a variety of methods, they find themselves in a unique standing of their other magical counterparts, capable of adapting to nearly any role. ### The Souls of Beasts Blue Mages come from a variety of backgrounds, but the three most well renown are the Lore Keepers, to catalogue monsters and model their magic off their compendiums of monstrous knowledge, the Fell Guard, warriors who absorb the strength of fallen foes to gain their strength and the Whalaqee tradition, a way of twisting one's aether to reflect that of monsters and fight with the myriad strengths of monsters. ### The Well of Knowledge A Blue Mage's greatest asset is their ability to rapidly discern details about other creatures and wield those strengths in battle. Their eye for detail and understanding of the spirit is unmatched and form the foundation of their discipline. ### Creating a Blue Mage Blue Mages often find themselves on the receiving end of knowledge from a mentor figure prior to setting off on their quest. They come from a wide breadth of backgrounds but their knowledge of how to model magic after monsters comes from somewhere. They may travel in the search of knowledge, defense of their lands or a thirst for adventure, but regardless of their reasons, Blue Mages are ever curious as this enterprising spirit is often rewards with greater power. ### Quick Build You can make a blue mage quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution, then Dexterity. Second, choose the 'Lore Keeper' Azure Calling. Third, choose the sage background. Fourth, choose the Mage Hand, Light and Prestidigitation cantrips along with the following monstrous mimicries and spells for your research journal: Burning Hands, Frog's Legs, Mage Armor, Magic Missile, Ochu's Stench and Zu's Sonic Boom \pagebreakNum

Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 3rd, 6th, 10th and 14th level and changes your spell casting ability modifier as described in the Azure Lore section. \pagebreakNum ### Azure Lore Your research and experience with monsters and magic has granted you spellcasting abilities. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Blue Mage spell list. #### Cantrips You know two cantrips of your choice from the blue mage spell list. You learn additional blue mage cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Blue Mage table. > ##### Your Research Journal > The monster links you've discovered are kept in your research journal. As you further your research, you may encounter the works of other blue mages or peers who share their findings. > > **Copying a Monster Link into the Book.** When you find the research notes of a peer, or a tome with well detailed monster links, you can copy the pair of spells into your research journal if you have spell slots of the appropriate level and the spare time to decipher and copy the notation. Copying a spell involved reproducing the basic form of the spells, then understanding the unique style of the blue mage who wrote it. For each level of the spells, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents the material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can access the monster link just like your own monster links. > > For each level of the spells, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp.

This is just like copying a new monster link into your journal, but fast and easier, since you understand you own notation and already know how to cast the spells. You need spend only 1 hour and 10gp for each level of the copied spells in order to copy a monster link you are currently accessing. Filling out the remainder of your research journal requires you to find new monster links to do so, as normal. For this reason, many blue mages keep back up copies of their research in a safe place. > > **Book's Appearance.** Your research journal may take any style of tome you wish. A Lore Keeper like has a well kept tome used for taking notes in the field, while the Fell Guard may carry a durable grimoire to record their experiences. \columnbreak #### Research Journal At first level, you have a research journal with three monster mimicries recorded by you. #### Monster Mimicries and Learning Spells As a Blue Mage, you develop your spell casting based on the abilities of monsters. These spells come in the form of a variety of monster mimicries which you develop linking the traits and strengths of monsters with your magic. At 1st level, you start your adventure with a research journal containing six blue mage spells or monster mimicries of your choice. When you gain a Blue Mage level, you may add a mix of two Blue Mage spells or monstrous mimicries to your research notes. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Blue Mage table or a mimicry for which you meet the prerequisite for. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your research journal (see the "Your Research Journal" sidebar).
##### The Hunt for Knowledge One of the key elements of the Blue Mage is seeking out and gaining power from monsters out in the world. I recommend using monster mimicries as an additional reward for hard fought battles with rare enemies. If the Blue Mage uses its Libra feature before or after a battle with such a creature or its corpse, the DM may decide they are feeling particularly inspired by their findings and can grant them a bonus monster mimicry of their choosing to add to their research journal, perhaps even using spells outside the Blue Mage spell list.
#### Preparing and Casting Spells The Blue Mage 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. You prepare the list of blue mage spells and monster mimicries you are able to access. To do so, choose a number of spells from your research journal equal to your spellcasting ability modifier + your blue mage level (minimum one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Attuning to a monster mimicry takes up two of these prepared spell slots. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of blue mage spells and monster mimicries requires time spent reviewing your research journal, at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. \pagebreakNum #### Spellcasting Ability Your spell casting ability for your blue mage spells changes depending on which blue mage calling you select. As a Lore Keeper, Intelligence is your spell casting ability, as a Fell Guard Wisdom is your spell casting ability and as a Whalaqee your spell casting ability is Charisma. You use the associated ability whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use the ability modifier for the associated ability when setting the saving throw DC for a blue mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
**Spell save DC = 8** + your Proficiency Bonus + your ability modifier
**Spell Attack modifier** = your Proficiency Bonus + your ability modifier
#### Ritual Casting You can cast a blue mage spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don't need to have the spell prepared. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your blue mage spells. ### Libra Also at 1st level, as an expert on monsters and beasts, you are able to discern certain traits about monsters you encounter. As an action you may spend a spell slot of 1st or higher or spend 1 minute outside of comabt observing the creature, you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice: - Strength Score - Dexteriy Score - Constitution Score - Armor Class - Current hit points - Total class levels (if any) Additionally, you may spend 1 minute after combat studying a creature's corpse to ascertain the same information. ### Deep Blue Heart Beginning at 2nd level, through sharp meditation you can recover wasted magical energy left in your body from. When you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your blue mage level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. \columnbreak ### Azure Adaptation Beginning at 18th level, when you complete a long rest you select a temporary adaptation to your body to assist you in battle. You choose one of the following adaptations. **Azure Scales.** You gain resistance to all damage types except psychic. **Draconic Wings.** You gain a flying speed of 60ft. **Monstrous Vitality.** Spend you expend a spell slot, you recover hit points equal to the spell slots level + your spell casting ability modifier. ### Shifting Azure Soul Beginning at 20th level, as a bonus action you can change one of your monster mimicries to another monstrous mimicry. ## The Azure Way Blue Mages are rare spell casters who have a shocking amount of variety in their field of expertise. From the studious Lore Keepers who follow the traditional path of wizardry mixed with an adventuring spirit to the imposing vigil of the Fell Guard who hunt monsters in dangerous areas to protect the weak. Towards the middle of this spectrum is the Whalaqee who view the power of monsters as the power of the natural world and access to this power taking a spiritual quality. ### Lore Keeper Studious and thorough, the Lore Keepers are experts at noting details and learning about creatures of all shapes and sizes. Capable of understanding one's nature at a glance, they can both help their allies strategize, and rapidly understand the deeper details of their foes. #### Azure Knowledge Beginning at 1st level, you may select an additional two cantrips from the blue mage spell list and add them to your cantrips known list.

If you already have proficiency in the Investigation, you gain expertise in it, doubling your proficiency bonus. Additionally, you may use Libra as an action on a creature without spending a spell slot.

As an action you can offer advice on how to approach a beast or monster within 30ft of you, that you have used Libra on. Choose an ally within 60ft. of you, until your next turn they have advantage on attack rolls against that creature. ### Fell Guard Fell Guard Blue Mages are adventurers who travel the world battling monsters and beasts, bathing in their essence to absorb their power and use it to further defend the world from those same beasts. The exposure to this monstrous power, sometimes referred to as fell energy, comes at a risk. Walking the line between monster and man, these magical warriors take major risks to protect the world. #### Azure Guard Beginning at 1st level, you may use one handed melee weapons as a spell casting focus for your blue mage spells. Additionally, you gain proficiency with medium armour and martial weapons and your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class. #### Monstrous Vanguard Beginning at 3rd level, you choose a fighting style focus to assist you in the type of monster you prefer to hunt. **Colossus Slayer.** Your tenacity can wear down the most potent foes. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, the creature takes an extra 1d8 damage if it's below its hit point maximum. You can deal this extra damage only once per turn. **Giant Killer.** Immediately after a creature within 5 feet of you attacks you, you can use your reaction to make one attack with a weapon against that creature, whether it hit you or not. **Horde Breaker.** Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack, you can make another attack with the same weapon against a different creature that is within 5 feet of the original target and within range of your weapon. #### Survival Tactics Beginning at the 6th level, you gain one of the following features of your choice. **Escape the Horde.** Opportunity attacks against you are made with disadvantage. **Multiattack Defense.** When a creature hits you with an attack, you gain a +4 bonus to AC against all subsequent attacks made by that creature for the rest of the turn. **Steel Will.** You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. \columnbreak #### Azure Warrior Beginning at the 10th level, you've learned to influence your body using monstrous magics. When you complete a long rest you choose one of the following damage types: acid, fire, cold, lightning, poison, necrotic or thunder. You gain resistance against that damage type and your weapon attacks deal bonus damage of that type equal to your proficiency bonus. #### Absorb Ability Beginning at the 14th level, you have learned to drain the natural abilities of your prey. As an action, you draw energy out of a creature you touch. The creature must make a charisma saving throw against your spell save DC or receive a -2 reduction to an ability score of your choice on a failed save. On a success, the creature becomes immune to this effect for 1 minute. You gain a +2 bonus in the reduced ability score. This change in ability score lasts 10 minutes. Failed attempts do not expend the use of this ability. You must then finish a long rest to use Absorb Ability again. ### Whalaqee The Whalaqee are known in many scholarly circles as the original creators of blue magic. Hailing from the land known as "The New World" the Whalaqee's magic was noted as strange to visitors from afar, using their aether to mimic the strength of monsters and unleash their power. The Whalaqee are a people who live in harmony with nature and use what they view as the strength of the natural world to defend it. #### Mimic Blood Beginning at 1st level, when you level up you gain 1 additional hit point. Additionally, you can attune to an additional mimicry at the 1st level. This does not count against your prepared spells and mimicries. You gain one additional mimicry at the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 14th level. #### Misdirection Beginning at 3rd level, when you are hit by a melee attack, you may use your reaction to move 5ft. backwards away from the attacker and reduce the damage by your you take by your Charisma modifier. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. Uses of this feature is recovered when you complete a long rest. #### Protection of Monsters Beginning at 6th level, when you expend a spell slot to use a monstrous mimicry, you gain temporary hit points equal to the spent spell slot's level + your spell casting ability modifier. #### Focus Mimicry Beginning at 10th level, you may use your bonus action to sharpen the strength of your mimicry.

##### Consult with your DM Before Playing Note from the Creator: Hey there! For the uninitiated, the Blue Mage is an incredibly unique class in the world of Final Fantasy who rather than learn their spells in a traditional way, steals/learns spells from monsters and wield their power instead. This leads to a very unique class fantasy that is best experienced with the DM's buy in to allow the creation of Monster Mimicries as rewards for defeating tough creatures or in research notes like a wizard hunts for spells for their spell book. That being said I highly recommend talking to your DM before playing this class and make sure they are on board with it. To be frank, this has the potential to throw balance off in game by the very nature of its existence. That being said good luck and have fun, I just wanted to acknowledge the potential issue with this class specifically. I feel the mimicries and spell list is in a fair spot within the book, but you'll have the most fun with your DM allowing new mimicries to be developed as you play.

## Dancer The light of the room dims, and the spotlights focus on the lightly dressed woman who makes her way across the stage. With a large smile, she moves effortless along with the music, filling everyone's hearts with joy and pushing them to stay determined in whatever challenges they have. Amid the chaos of the battlefield a maiden expertly slides in and out of combat, soothing her allies' wounds and empowering their wills to continue fighting. Dressed in fine clothing with their trusty blade at their side, the seemingly sweet woman dances through a group of would-be assailants behind her establishment, cutting them down with ease wielding her signature scimitar. Dancers have harnessed magics and arts, combining them into a spectacle which turns the battlefield into a show, and it is by their graceful movements which which their allies are guided to a happy conclusion. ### Of Silk and Steel Dancers draw from many different sources and backgrounds, combining them into a single package which covers a wide variety of situations. Using small weapons to pick away at their unwitting foes as their dances debilitate their marks while filling their allies with power. Though a rarity on the battle field few forget the sight of a skilled dancer at work. ### Ornaments of Power Dancers perform their magical feats not through a stave or rod, but rather specially made jewelry worn on the wrists and ankles. As they dance around the battle field they move their bodies in specific patterns to manipulate the magical power within their bodies and to gather residual magic in the environment. Once they've gathered the required magic they must keep moving to keep their spell active, channeling the magic further. ### Creating a Dancer Dancers are passionate people dedicated to their craft. Spending years practicing has gifted them with the ability to weave spells and their passions together into a gorgeous display of skill. When creating a Dancer, you must consider where they have honed their craft. Did they pick up the profession naturally, teaching themselves over long hours, or did they study beneath some kind of mentor? One must consider their motivations, does your Dancer seek fame and fortune, or do they want to bring the gifts of joy to the masses. Perhaps they are going on their journey in an attempt to hone their craft even further. ### Quick Build You can make a Dancer quickly by following these suggestions. First make Dexterity your highest ability score, following with Charisma. Second take the Entertainer background. \pagebreakNum
##### The Dancer | Level | Proficiency Bonus | Features | Flourish Damage | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th || |:---:|:---:|:---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 1st | +2 | Dazzling Dance, Flourish | 1d6 | — | — | — | — | — | | 2nd | +2 | Spell Casting, Whirling Steel | 1d6 | 2 | — | — | — | — | | 3rd | +2 | Dancer Archetype | 2d6 | 3 | — | — | — | — | | 4th | +2 | Ability Score Improvement | 2d6 | 3 | — | — | — | — | | 5th | +3 | Uncanny Dodge | 3d6 | 4 | 2 | — | — | — | | 6th | +3 | Dancer Archetype Feature | 3d6 | 4 | 2 | — | — | — | | 7th | +3 | Evasion | 4d6 | 4 | 3 | — | — | — | | 8th | +3 | Ability Score Improvement | 4d6 | 4 | 3 | — | — | — | | 9th | +4 | ─ | 5d6 | 4 | 3 | 2 | — | — | | 10th | +4 | Motivating Mambo | 5d6 | 4 | 3 | 2 | — | — | | 11th | +4 | Dancer Archetype Feature | 6d6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | — | — | | 12th | +4 | Ability Score Improvement | 6d6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | — | — | | 13th | +5 | Bewildering Grace | 7d6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | — | | 14th | +5 | Spell Dancer | 7d6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | — | | 15th | +5 | Dancer Archetype Feature | 8d6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | — | | 16th | +5 | Ability Score Improvement | 8d6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | — | | 17th | +6 | — | 9d6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | | 18th | +6 | Stage Presence | 9d6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | | 19th | +6 | Ability Score Improvement | 10d6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | | 20th | +6 | Rhythmic Heart | 10d6 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 |

##### Chakrams For Chakrams I suggest using the Handaxe statblock. Set the cost to 15 gp and add the Finesse quality to the weapon.
\pagebreakNum ### Dazzling Dance At 1st level, as you fight you build towards empowering your movements further. When you use the Attack action against a hostile creature, you gain a charge of Dazzling Dance. You may hold a number of Dazzling Dance charges equal to your Charisma modifier. Your charges dissipate one minute after combat ends. Additionally, you may spend 1 Dazzling Dance charge to take the Dash or Disengage action as a bonus action. ### Flourish Also beginning at 1st level, once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with a ranged weapon attack if you have advantage on the Attack roll. The Attack must use a finesse weapon. You don't need advantage on the Attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't Incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the Attack roll. The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Flourish Damage column of the Dancer table. ### Unarmoured Defense While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit. ### Spellcasting By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on in latent magical energies around you into your bangles and use it to cast spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the Dancer spell list. Preparing and Casting Spells. #### Preparing and Casting Spells The Dancer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Dancer spells. To cast one of your Dancer spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of Dancer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Dancer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Dancer spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your Dancer level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 5th-level Dancer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Dancer spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. Spellcasting Ability. \columnbreak #### Dance Magic As a Dancer, when you cast a Dancer spell you do not have to fulfill the verbal component of the spell. You must spend 10ft. of movement alongside your spell slot to cast a spell or to maintain a spell. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Dancer spell list.
##### What about Silence? Most spellcasters shudder at the thought of being silenced as their spells require a verbal component nearly every time. As a Dancer you are able to for go the Verbal component, but that does not mean you're free from having your spells blocked. Instead, any effects which would drop your movement speed to 0ft. will instead cause your spells to be blocked.
#### Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Dancer spells, since their power derives from the strength of your convictions. 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 Dancer 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 #### Spellcasting Focus You can use a bangles, anklets or other jewelry inlaid with gem stones (see the Adventuring Gear section) as a spellcasting focus for your Dancer spells. ### Whirling Steel Also at 2nd level, you can spend 1 hour attuning your recently discovered magics with up to two finesse throwing weapons.

The Paragon focuses on mastering and pushing the limits of dance as an art. The Exoctic Wonder mixes blade work into their dance moves, mixing martial prowess with grace. The Peace Bringer seeks to bring succor and support to their allies in the heat of battle. ### 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. \pagebreakNum ### Uncanny Dodge Starting at the 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's damage against you. ### Evasion Beginning at the 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an ice storm spell.

Roll a d20 die and resolve the effect. Spells cast with Bewildering Grace do not consume spell slots. Non-spell effects from Bewildering Grace last one hour.

You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest. ##### Bewildering Grace Effects | Die Result | Effect | |:----:|:-------------| | 1 | You cast the Banishment spell on yourself.

\columnbreak ## Dark Knight An Auri man dives into the front line of his foes. Recklessly, he swings his blade with great might, cleaving through foe after foe. The enemy scatters, claiming they battled a demon that day. A downtrodden woman stands behind an ebony clad Hyur. Despite seeming to be on his last legs his exhaustion leads him to pull greater strength to protect the weak against those who had been pursuing. A lalafellin woman stands before a strange demon, clad in dark heavy armour and cloth, she weaves shadow magics before to unleash dark magics to put an end to the demon and silently protect the nearby village from its wrath. It is a dark knight's freedom from the bounds of the law which make these dark avengers so effective. Unconcerned with what is lawful, a dark knight is concerned with what is ethical in their view. Those who spread tyranny and injustice best prepare for a visit from a dark knight who aims to set things right and break the chains of oppressors. ### Protecting the Meek A Dark Knight is a knight who has taken up arms to serve the downtrodden. They serve no lords or institutions, believing no one is exempt from justice, no matter what their position in society. They protect the commonfolk from not only banditry and wild beasts, but from corrupt men who seek to oppress them. In return, Dark Knights are often fed and housed by those they protect, or rely upon bounty hunting and raiding looters to support themselves. ### Internal Darkness When an adventurer chooses the path of a Dark Knight they understand that they are renouncing their rights to be a regular member of society. They belong to no society, acting as paragons of justice who see no allegiance. To assist them in their quest, Dark Knights are able to sacrifice their own life force to power a well of darkness within themselves. They cause themselves great pain and exhaustion in order to allow dark power to course through their body which they harness in a variety of ways. ### Creating a Dark Knight Dark Knights are natural adventurers, living outside the law to see their goals to fruition. They may live within a remote village protecting the inhabitants from bandits, while the land's knights turn a blind eye to their plight, or they may travel the world seeking out institutionalized injustice and smiting it with violence. Dark Knights act on behalf of the common folk, and do so not expecting praise nor admiration. They are aware that they will not be celebrated in the history books like Paladins would be. Instead they expect to be demonized by history and happily accept this fact. One seeking to become a Dark Knight must be introduced to it through some means, be it an ancient tome with their rituals recorded or a mentor to impart their knowledge. \pagebreakNum

See chapter 10 for the general rules of spell casting. To cast one of these spells you use its casting time and other rules, but you don't need to provide material components for it. Once you reach the 6th level in this class, you can spend additional Well of Darkness point to increase the level of a Dark Art that you cast, provided that the spell has an enhanced effect at a higher level. The spell’s level increases by 1 for each additional Well of Darkness hit die you spend. The default casting level of these spells is at the lowest possible level. The maximum number of Well of Darkness point you can spend in this way (including the base cost and the additional points you spend to increase the level) is determined by your Dark Knight level, as shown in the Spells and Well of Darkness Points table. \columnbreak ##### Spells and Well of Darkness Points | Dark Knight Levels | Maximum Points for a Spell | |:---:|:-----------:| | 6th-8th | 4 | | 9th-12th | 5 | | 13th-16th | 6 | | 17th-20th | 7 | #### Dark Arts The Dark Arts list is presented in alphabetical order.

## Dragoon The seasoned warrior watches their foe with intensity, seeing their opening they leap high into the air, crashing down on the beast and driving it to the ground with lance in hand. Donned in scale mail evoking a dragon's hide, the Dragoon whirl's their spear above their head, channeling magicks through their body, when suddenly they unleash a plume of dragon's fire over their foes. Lightly armored, the dragoon takes to the sky, untethered by the land below, they form spectral wings and truly master the sky.. These fearless warriors stand against dragons, demons, fiends and any other threats who would raise a hand against their homelands. Dragoons use their command of both the sky and ground to strike down their foes with deadly strikes. ### Dragon's Bane The Dragoon was a soldier born out of need in a distant land. Their homeland has been locked in a war against dragon kind for hundreds of years, leading to their soldiers to specialize in battling back against dragons. They are renown for their jumping ability allowing them to soar through the air, powered by a magical gem each Dragoon receives upon completing their basic training. ### Master of the Sky The Dragoons have been blessed with the ability to soar high into the air like those they have taken up arms to destroy. These warriors are able to crash down from the sky using their weapons and body weight to drive any skyborn into the ground, or cause great damage to those already on land. Wings will not grant you safety from a Dragoon. ### Creating a Dragoon When creating a Dragoon, consider what brought them down the path of a specialized knight. They may have shown a certain aptitude which allowed them to become a dragoon with ease, or perhaps were born into the role due to the history of their homeland. A dragoon may have decided upon this path due to the stories of famed dragoons of legends, hoping to become as powerful and respected as the knights they had heard about while they were growing up. Consider why a Dragoon would choose to head out on an adventure. Are they seeking a specific dragon, hoping to slay an enemy of their nation? Could your dragoon have unfinished business with a dragon from their past? Sometimes a dragoon may set out for the sake of journeying around the land. ### Quick Build You can make a Dragoon quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength your highest ability score, following with Wisdom. Second take the Soldier background. \columnbreak

##### 5th Edition Jump Rules Explained The jumping rules in 5th edition can be confusing at times. You can find a link hosted by Roll20 to the 5e Jumping rules [HERE](https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Movement#content "Special Movement Rules") at the bottom of the page. I highly advise reviewing this when prior to creating a character with the Dragoon class. A key call out I want to highlight is your total distance traveled while jumping is restricted by your movement speed, a creature that has a base movement speed of 30ft. can only travel 30ft while jumping. Some Dragoon features will be used to directly address this restriction from the system mechanics.
\pagebreakNum ### Dragoon Trance Beginning at the 1st level, you are able to fall into a special trance as a bonus action. Your soul is filled with power from your Dragoon forebears. While under the effects of this trance, your long jump is up to 30 feet and its high jump is up to 15 feet, with or without a running start. You do not take fall damage when landing from your own jumps. If your racial base movement speed is below 30ft., it is set to 30ft. while under the effect of Dragoon Trance. Additionally, you gain a number of draconic blood charges equal to your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier when you enter your Dragoon Trance. These charges persist when your Dragoon Trance ends until you activate your Dragoon Trance again or complete a long rest. Some features may require the creature to make saving throws against your Dragoon DC as calculated below:
**Dragoon DC** = 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Strength modifier.
Your trance lasts for 10 minutes. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or you may end your trance as a bonus action. Some Dragoon abilities may cause your trance to end early. If you have a dragon blood charge while dragoon trance is not active, as a bonus action you may gain the effect of dragoon trance until the end of your turn. Once you have entered a trance a number of times shown for your dragoon level in the trances column for your dragoon table you must finish a long rest before you can enter a trance again. ### Jump If you jump at least 15 feet as part of your movement, if you are wielding a melee weapon you can use your action to crash down upon on a creature. The creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone and take damage equal to the damage of the weapon you are currently wielding. On a successful save, the creature takes only half the damage and isn’t knocked prone. You then land in an unoccupied space adjacent to the creature. Beginning at 5th level, the damage of jump is doubled. ### Fighting Style Beginning at the 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty, Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again. #### Archery You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons. #### Defense While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC. #### Dueling When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon. \columnbreak #### Great Weapon Fighting When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the twohanded or versatile property for you to gain this benefit. #### Protection When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield. #### Two-Weapon Fighting When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack. ### Lancet Also beginning at 2nd level, when you land a melee weapon attack you can expend a draconic blood charge to drains your target's vitality. You recover hit points equal to half the damage of your weapon attack rounded up. ### Dragoon Archetype At 3rd level, you select the focus of your training as a dragoon. Some Dragoon's stick to their roots and fight as Dragon Slayers, while some attempt to harness the power of Dragons and combine it with their unique martial abilities becoming Dragon Hearts. Some Dragoon's decide to break away from their dragon hunting roots and attempt to master the skies as Valkyries. ### 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. ### Stall Beginning at the 6th level, while under the effect of Dragoon Trance, when you reach the peak of any jump, you may choose to pause in place up until the end of your next turn. You may perform actions as normal while suspended in the air, and on your following turn may move as though you are jumping when coming back down. You may only use stall once and may not stall again until you have landed on a surface. \pagebreakNum ### True Thrust Also beginning at 6th level, as a bonus action you can spend one draconic blood charge to add your Wisdom modifier to your attack rolls until the end of your next turn. ### Heavy Thrust Beginning at 7th level, as a bonus action you can spend one draconic blood charge to add your Wisdom modifier to your weapon damage rolls until the end of your next turn. ### Life of the Dragon Beginning at 9th level, your body has permanently adapted to your dragoon power. Your long jump is up to 30 feet and its high jump is up to 15 feet, with or without a running start at all times. While under the effect of Dragoon Trance your long jump maximum is 90 feet and your high jump maximum becomes 60 feet, with or without a running start. While under the effect of Dragoon Trance, you may use the Dash action as a bonus action. ### High Jump Beginning at 10th level, if you used stall during your last turn, if you jump at least 30 feet as part of your movement and are wielding a melee weapon, you can use your action to crash down upon on a creature. The creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone and take damage equal to quadruple the damage of the weapon you are currently wielding. On a successful save, the creature takes only half the damage and isn’t knocked prone. You then land in an unoccupied space adjacent to the creature. The creature makes their saving throw with disadvantage. ### Wing Clipper Also beginning at 10th level, when a creature fails its saving throw against one of your Jump attacks, if they have a flying speed, their flying speed is reduced to 0. They must use an action to repeat the saving throw against your Dragoon save DC, regaining their flight speed on a success. ### Fang and Claw Beginning at 13th level, while under the effect of dragoon trance you may make a melee weapon attack as a bonus action. ### Heavy Impact Beginning at 14th level, when using a jump attack, you may spend one draconic blood charge to rapidly accelerate your landing causing a wider area to be affected. Each creature within 10ft. of the target of your jump is also affected by the jump attack. ### Invigorate Beginning at 17th level, when you fail a saving throw you may choose to reroll the saving throw. You must use the new number. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom ability modifier. You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest. ### Battle Litany Beginning at 18th level, while you are under the effects of Dragoon's Trance, as a bonus action you can inspire ferocity in yourself and your allies. Your melee weapon attacks and those of your allies who are within 10ft. of you land critical hits on die results 19 or 20 for a number of rounds equal to half your Strength modifier. This does not overwrite or add to already present critical hit range increases. This effect may be activated once each time you enter a new Dragoon's Trance. ### Dragon Blooded Beginning at 20th level, if you have no uses of Dragoon Trace left when you roll initiative, you recover 2 uses of Dragoon Trance. ## Aerial Warriors The dragoons are fierce fighters that through the manipulation of aether and passing of secret arts become capable of dominating both land and air during battle. Slayers specialize in locking their foes down and fighting safely, while Dragon Hearts seek to emulate their namesakes in the heat of battle. Valkyries are dragoons who pursue mastery of aerial combat and the freedom offered by the sky. ### Slayer Dragoons were born of war against beasts of incredible size and strength, dragons. Dragoons who have specialized slaying these beasts have learned more advanced techniques to dispatch their enemies. #### Spineshatter Dive Beginning at the 3rd level, when you make a jump or high jump attack, you may spend one draconic blood charge to empower the attack. If the creature fails its Dexterity saving throw, it becomes stunned until the end of your next turn. #### Familiar Contempt Beginning at the 7th level, you have gained a wealth of knowledge about hunting a variety of creatures. You have advantage on skill checks on History, Nature and Perception checks when the check involves tracking or gathering information about creatures. #### Elusive Jump Beginning at the 11th level, while under the effect of dragoon trance, when you are the target of an attack roll, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack and make a standing leap up to a height of 10ft. to an unoccupied location up to 15ft. away. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. \pagebreakNum #### Geirskogul Beginning at the 15th level, you unleash a surge of aetheric strength emulating a dragon's strength.

On a failure the creature takes #d8 force damage and half as much on a success, where # number is equal to twice the number of draconic blood charges you spent. ### Dragon Heart The origin of the dragoons saw the yielding of blessed stones to overcome fierce dragons of history. Some dragoons found ways to channel aether to emulate the strength of their arch rivals, and those who walk this path find themselves become fierce beasts during battle themselves. #### Breath of the Dragon Beginning at the 3rd level, as a bonus action, while under the effect of Dragoon Trance, you may spend one draconic blood charge in order to cast the Dragon's Breath spell on yourself at the 2nd level.

Additionally, your concentration on your Dragon's Breath spell cannot be broken. #### Raging Dragon Beginning at the 15th level, while you are under the effect of Breath of the Dragon, you may use the effect of the Dragon Breath spell as a bonus action on your turn. \columnbreak ### Valkyrie A valkyrie are a class of dragoons who have severed their ties from their draconic roots and focus more on mastering aerial combat.

This attack does half the damage it normally would. #### Flight of the Valkyrie Beginning at the 7th level, while Dragoon Trace is active you gain a flying speed equal to your movement speed. Additionally, distance you fly can counts for your Jump features. #### Barrel Roll Beginning at the 11th level, you don't provoke opportunity attacks when you fly out of enemies reach. #### Stardiver Beginning at the 15th level, you may use your High Jump feature without using stall before hand, instead spending one draconic blood charge. \pagebreakNum
## Gunbreaker A wealthy merchant discussed terms when a cloaked man rushed him knife in hand. With a swift step and strong strike, the imposing guard quickly ends the attempt on their employer's life. The wicked beast rampaged near the town, moving in on the innocence that called the land home. With a a few swings of their blade, bursts of fire and ice shocking the beast, slew the beast and bringing peace. A quiet fortress on the lake was home to a dangerous criminal. Though well guarded, it was not enough to keep them safe as from the dark a blade struck and burst with force, slaying them instantly, the gunbreaker assailant disappearing back into the dark without a sound. Gunbreakers are highly trained and effective warriors who are able to hold their own in the heat of battle and focus on protection, destruction or subtely like none other. With their trusty gunblades releasing thunderous strikes they overwhelm their foes. ### Historical Shields The Gunbreaker's origin can be traced back to the royal guard of Bozja. Using the unique resources available to the region, gunblades were developed to fend off the numerous threats to their lands and the Queen's Blades left a legacy of great defenders. Though those times are lost in the past, the opportunity to uphold or upset this legacy now lays in the hands of the modern day Gunbreakers. ### Innovation of War Gunblades are weapons the Queen's Blades developed to give them an edge against their many foes. Originally igniting ceruleum in the chamber of their weapons to create explosions on contact with enemies, today convenient rechargeable cartridges are used in their weapons instead allowing for sustained campaigns reliant on one's own strength. ### Creating a Gunbreaker Gunbreakers are few in number and a rarity in modern times. Pockets of practitioners and individual users that are self taught have popped up across the land. Your gunbreaker may have had this knowledge imparted to them from a mentor, or discovered the unique way of waging war through investigation. Gunbreakers set off on quests for a variety of reasons but the most common is mercenary work and often protecting individuals or locations. One can count on the fact that when something needs to be done, Gunbreakers have the grit to do it no matter how dirty or bloody it is. ### Quick Build You can make a Gunbreaker quickly by following these suggestions. First make Strength your highest ability score, following with Constitution. Second take the Soldier background. \columnbreak ___

All creatures in the effected must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Gunbreaker Save DC. taking 2d8 thunder damage for each munition spent on a failure, and half the damage on a success. This may also be used in place of your burst strike feature. **Gnashing Fang.** When you use your burst strike you may spend an additional munition to attempt to rattle the creature. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your Gunbreaker save DC, becoming stunned on a failed save. \pagebreakNum **Heart of Stone.** when you or an ally within 30ft. of you takes damage you can use your reaction to expend a munition to reinforce the creature's body until the start of your next turn.

The Guardians found themselves as the pinnacle of this art, experts at protecting important individuals and controlling the battle field. The Lionhearts who were inspired by a gunbreaker of legend that used elemental strikes and fought with the ferocity of a lion to fell dangerous foes quickly. The Infiltrators would often work in small groups or alone, performing highly sensitive missions and though are not a part of their legacy, will certainly find their way into the footnotes of future records. ### Guardians The original Gunbreakers served as the stalwart protectors of the Queen of Bozja long ago.

##### Pre-Project Meteor Survivor Machinist Click [HERE!](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-NmktcgUIba2Hrs0Bd24) to find the original build of the Machinist.
\columnbreak ## Machinist The chaos of battle fit in their scope, with a breath in, and breath out the marksman pulls the trigger and one of the many foes ahead falls into the mud, their allies none the wiser of the source of the piercing shot. With the whiring of gears and grinding of metal on the stone, the mechanized warrior dashed forward, holding the line as the machinist stood at its back, picking its prey off one by one. Under dim lights, the aroma of oil wafting throught he air, the inventor finishes their latest device, allowing someone to run and jump with their speed and height of a chocobo, surely their plans for the next day would go as planned with this new tool at their disposal. The machinist is a skilled inventor who prefers to support their allies with a wide array of devices to weaken foes, empower their allies, and provide innovative solutions to their challenges. Be it mechanical allies, sharpshooting their foes or letting their allies overcome their physical abilities, machinists are great friends to have along on an adventure. ### Tradition of Innovation Machinists can be found across the land as rare talents who through sparks of genius and innovation, create new technologies. The most famous being that of the Skysteel Forge. Often the homes of master craftsmen machinists can trace their journeys back to gritty workshops where their imaginations are pushed to their limits. ### The Power of Aether Aether, the force which comprises the world and all inside it, makes for a great and easily available fuel when one knows how to capture it. Machinists use an aetheroconverter to transform their body's aether into a usable form and capture it in batteries, which in turn are used in their devices. Blood, sweat and tears are the true fuel of their craft for this reason. ### Creating a Machinist A machinist is generally an ambitious type who is either a prodigy that drives innovation themselves or comes from a vocational group such as a forge or guild that ply their craft under a master. Be they master or teacher, a machinist could set forth on a quest for a variety of reasons, be virtuously defending their home, seeking riches to fund their projects or merely looking for opportunities to field test their master crafts. ### Quick Build You can make a Machinist quickly by following these suggestions. First make Dexterity your highest ability score, following with Intelligence. Second take the Guild Member background. \pagebreakNum

You can currently support 2 functional inventions, with the ability to further inventions as you level up. You also learn to support more complex and specialized inventions as you progress as a machinist.
**Tech Attack Bonus** = your Intelligence modifier + your Proficiency bonus
**Tech save DC** = 8 + your Intelligence modifier + your Proficiency bonus
You are able to support additional inventions at the 6th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels. After completing three long rests, you may disassemble one of your inventions and build a new one. The possible inventions you can build are listed at the end of the archetypes description. ### Aether Battery Also beginning at 1st level, you have developed special energy modules you use in your inventions called aether batteries.

The power use of the battery changes based on the invention. > ##### Tracking Battery Charge > At first pass tracking the individual charges on the aether batteries may feel very cumbersome and for some it may be. My recommendation is using a d10 to count down the charges on a battery as people use the device. > > If you find the battery system is getting in the way of your enjoyment, talk to your DM. My suggestion is do away with the battery and instead have each invention just have x uses, and base that number of uses of the battery charges. (i.e. 10 shots, 10 minutes of use, etc.) and recharge half of your inventions during a short rest. ### Mechanical Turret At 2nd level, you have built a mechanical ally which assists you in battle. You can review their stats in the statblock below. In combat, the mechanical turret acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the mechanical turret to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the mechanical turret can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. When the mechanical turret is reduced to 0 hit points, it turns off and falls to the ground. You can use your action and expend one of your aether batteries to reboot the turret. The mechanical turret turns back on after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. When you finish a long rest, you complete maintenance and repairs on your mechanical turret. If it is still active it regains all its hit points. ___ > ## Mechanical Turret >*Small Construct* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 13 + PB > - **Hit Points** 5 + four times your class level (the Avatar has a number of Hit Dice [d6s] equal to your Machinist level) > - **Speed** 30ft.

Gaussian Marksmen value functionality and though not world changing on its face, sharpshooters the world over will slivate at their creations. Roboticists are a unique branch of machinists who build mechanical allies that run off of aether capable of endless marvels. Then there are insatiable machinists who seek to leave an Inventor's Legacy, a treasure trove of smaller but great devices. ### Gaussian Marksman The gaussian marksman is a skilled sharpshooter at heart and looks to revolutionize their craft through technology. Their magnum opus, the Gauss Barrel, provides them with various boons to always find their mark when making their shots. With their skills they hope to become the greatest shot in the world. #### Gauss Barrel Beginning at 3rd level, you've completed work on the Gauss Barrel, a special attachment used with firearms and crossbows which highly improve the weapon's potential.

## Ala Mhigan Monk A stoic wanderer stands along at the gates of the town he's called home for the night. Invading bandits strike his skin only to find it hard as stone, and his earth shaking blows leave them running in fear. A skilled martial artist whose fists sudden become engulfed in flame strikes out against a powerful beast,
in search of greater challenges to become the greatest
fighter in the world. A cheerful traveler walked down the winding paths of a mountainous region, happily going wherever their heart
led them, stopping to help those they encountered
along the way. Monks who train under the Fist of Rhalgr may
sharpen their skills in a wide number of ways, from protectors, to travellers to those who seek glory, monks of this sacred tradition use the power drawn from
within their bodies, chakra, to perform powerful
martial arts and superhuman feats. ### Guided By A Falling Star Centuries ago, refugees of the great flood were lead to
safety by their god, Rhalgr the Destory using a meteorite
to guide them to the Gyr Albanian highlands. It was here
they would plant their roots and an order of devotees to this god, The Fist of Rhalgr would be formed. Monks of the Fist of Rhalgr trained their bodies and spirits to become closer to their god and discovered the life energy of chakra through this training. Eventually they'd find themselves as a key military force in Gyr Albania until political upheaval and civil war caused their order to be broken and scattered to the wind. ### By Their Hands The primary way of doing battle for the Fist of Rhalgr is with their fists, sometimes augmented with claws, knuckles, tonfas and other hand accessories to assist their striking. Some choosing to weave staves, spears or blades into their fighting style alongside becoming masters of unarmed combat. ### Creating an Ala Mhigan Monk When creating a monk consider where you've received your training. Have you trained directly under a master of the Fist of Rhalgr? Perhaps you have called a monastery home for a time, or through meditation and intense training you've unlocked these secrets for yourself. You must also consider your path, as there are three elemental Riddles which define the path you walk as a monk. How might your temperament and goals tie into your training? Whether training alone or alongside other students, those who train under the Fist of Rhalgr spend a good deal meditating on their place int he world and where they are going next. \columnbreak

\columnbreak ## Sultansworn Paladin With a blade enshrouded in gleaming light, the knight dashed forward, cutting into the dark creature who has been roaming the country side. After a few skilled swings of their blade the foes fell to the earth. A noble smiles up at their attending knight as they walked the streets of their domain. An outsider attempting to weaken the land attempts to make their mark, shooting an arrow from above, without a second thought the knight steps in the way of the arrow, the attack clanking off their armor. Dressed in armour and white robes, the adventurer clutches their holy symbol can their incantations give their convictions form as divine line shines down on their foes all around. Paladins are skilled fighters who have learned to infuse their very will into their weapons and armour, allowing them to fight far beyond their limits. ### Conviction Made Manifest The Sultansworn Paladins first appeared in defense of their leader in the early days of their city state of Ul'Dah. One knight's deep conviction to protect their people allowed them to fuse their life force into their shield to block a deadly blow from an enemy mage in defense of innocence. This infusion of aether into armaments has become the corner stone of paladin arts. ### Divine Words and Sacred Steel Paladins are known for their immense defensive potential, often seen wield swords and shields, and draped in heavy armour for protection, they are immovable fighters. This peerless defense is coupled with divine incantations to cast spells that reflect their pure intentions, powered purely by their conviction to carry out their duty. ### Creating a Paladin Paladins come from many walks of life, be it rank and file soldiers who awaken to these power, intentionally trained warriors, or hometown heroes who accidentally stumbled on the sacred arts themselves thanks to their own force of will. Often times a Paladin will have some sort of mentor figure to lean on and learn from but it isn't neccessary as a particularly skilled paladin could teach themselves as they explore their powers. At the end of the day, paladins draw their power from their own force of will and must live or die by it. One must consider why the Paladin might be setting off on an adventure. Are they seeking to protect their home? In service of a master, or seeking redemption or revenge. Paladins act with purpose and you must understand what that purpose is. ### Quick Build You can make a Paladin quickly by following these suggestions. First make Strength your highest ability score, following with Charisma. Second take the Soldier background. \pagebreakNum

\columnbreak ## Reaper As a honed blade cuts through the air, the satisfying shearing of wind echoes through the night, interrupted only by the sound of rending flesh. Those who'd harm the realm further are cut down one by one in a flurry of steel by a figure draped in black. Two black figures surround a ferocious beast, one wielding a blade like a talon, the other rending the beast with claws, working together to take down the formidable foe in tandem. Cloaked in shadows, a figure receits ancient spells, raining destruction on the battle field as a haunting specter keeps the legion of invaders busy. Those who survive the ordeal will have nightmares for the rest of their days. The art of reapers was believed to be lost during the magitek revolution in the Garlean empire, but practitioners continue to combine the powers of the void and deadly scythes to this day, watching and operating from the shadows. ### Allies From Beyond Historically, reapers acted as special forces and assassins on behalf of the Garlean Empire prior to the discover of magitek and the nation's industrial revolution. Reapers would forge contracts with voidsent and go through rigorous training in secluded mountain top villages and underground facilities hidden from view. They acted as the will of their leaders, destroying the foes of their nation with swift and deadly precision. Today the Reapers operate in small cohorts as mercenaries or alone. Their identities well hidden and their secrets well kept. ### Dark Vows Reapers draw their power from their contract with their special voidsent ally, the Void Avatar. By offering some of their life force, the Avatar serves the reaper on the battle field and bestows upon them the gift of a macabe momento to channel dark magics. ### Creating a Reaper When creating a reaper, you must consider how they came upon their profession. Did they fumble their way into a contract with a voidsent in pursuit of power or out of desperation? Were they welcomed into a cohort of reapers and taught the deadly arts? One must consider the many paths you have taken to end up with the power of a voidsent by your side. You must also consider where they've learned to balance their martial prowess with dark magics. Has the voidsent imparted more than just arcane arts to the warrior? Did they have a mentor who helped them harness their rage and focus it on the single minded quest for vengeance? The reaper has many talents and combines new found power with them to become the deadly avenger they wish to be. \pagebreakNum

See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Reaper spell list. #### Preparing and Casting Spells The Reaper 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 expand a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of Reaper spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Reaper spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Reaper spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Reaper level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 3rd-level Reaper, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell *cure wounds* you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Reaper spells requires time spent in study and review: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. #### Spellcasting Ability Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Reaper spells. The power of your spells comes from your bond with your void avatar. You use your Wisdom whenever a Reaper spell refers to your spellcasting ability.

Like a lightning bolt streaking through the battlefield, she makes quick work of foe after foe. At the first sign of danger, the crimson beauty flips over the head of the foe behind her, letting loose a wave of energy as a parting gift. A confident smirk spreads across the face of the veteran red mage. He unleashes spell after spell in quick succession, drawing on countless elements until his foe is annihilated. As though a flower amongst a sea of weeds, the red mage leads their allies into battle. With a deep trust that they'll stay at their side, she turns her friends into the perfect dancing partners for this adventure, empowering them to match their grace. Red Mages have drawn on a multitude of disciplines across the world, mixing black and white magic along with focused swordplay and style. All of these abilities have combined in this alluring mix of talent and flair, creating a hero worthy of becoming legendary. ### Crimson Mage Some fairy tales of Gyr Abania speak of the heroic deeds and daring adventures of mages clothed in crimson. These adventurers are known as Red Mages, and travel the world protecting the good in the world by drawing on both white and black magic, while mixing martial prowess into a flawless battle style. ### Its Not About Fame Their thirst for adventure, flashy style and renowned flair may lead many to believe that a Red Mage becomes an adventurer for the admiration of their fellow man, but that is not the case. Those who take the Red do so in order to take up arms to protect the good in the world and bring wrongdoers to justice. ### Creating a Red Mage When creating a Red Mage, you must consider why they may be heading out on their adventure. Did they become fed up with the oppressive nature of the world and seek the need to become a hero to the common man? They may have learned of a plot which endangers their home, perhaps the world as a whole and will stop at nothing to end it. Maybe it is simply a need to chase the thrill of adventure and become a hero of legend. One key consideration to make as a Red Mage is where you came to learn your myriad of skills. Was it through the study of old tomes you discovered in an abandoned warehouse or library? Did you meet a mentor who saw great potential in you and introduced you to the art? Whatever the origin, you wield powerful skills with an artistic flair. ### Quick Build You can make a Red Mage quickly by following these suggestions. First make Charisma your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity. Second take the Folk Hero background. Third take the Fire Bolt, Jolt, Mage Hand and Prestidigitation cantrips, and the first level spells Chromatic Orb and Cure Wounds. \columnbreak

As one who has taken the Red, they focus their studies on either their swordplay, magic mastery or creating striking synergy with their allies on the battlefield. ### Sword Dancer You've taken up sword in hand, aiming to weave magic and might into a flawless, deadly dance. Your blade moves like the wind, and you ride the currents perfectly. #### Corps-a-corps At 2nd level, you have mastered the art of approaching a foe with lightning speed and delivering a powerful strike.

You may spend a flair point to gain advantage on a charisma ability check. #### Quicksilver Casting At 10th level, if you deal damage to a target with a cantrip, you may spend one flair point to gain advantage on a ranged spell attack against the target or cause the target to make dexterity saving throws against your spells with disadvantage until the end of your turn. #### Liquification At 14th level, as a bonus action you may spend a spell slot of any level to gain a number of flair points equal to twice the spell slot level.

One ally may use your charisma ability modifiers for charisma ability checks for up to 5 minutes. You may only share your charisma ability modifiers once. You must then finish a short rest to use In Good Company again. #### Embolden At 10th level, you have learned to fill your allies with fervor using your natural appeal. As an action you may spend 1 flair point to empower all allies within 10ft. of you. Damaging effects from your allies deal an extra 1d8 damage for until the end of your next turn. #### Follow My Lead At 14th level, as a bonus action you may spend 2 flair points to move an ally who is lower in the initiative order than you up in the order, such that they act directly after you.

\columnbreak ## Sage Surrounded by foes, a steel hearted fighter could feel the tide of battle shifting away from them. As a goblin leapt at them their blade was blocked by a magical wall, a sage weaving their magics to protect their ally. The ever analytical sage in the backline of the field continued to release their spells, with each blast of magic released, excess aether would flow into their allies, filling them with new found energy. A beam of aether flashed through the air, striking the monstrous foes. The creature began to take steps towards the sage and their group, but their limbs swung heavily, eyes drooped and stomach churned, something was wrong andtheir advantage was lost. The sages style themselves as highly skillful and effective healers in the world. Always seeking greater knowledge of healing arts and mastering their use, when someone has a sage at their back, they can breath far easier no matter how dire the situation. ### To Heal and Protect Sages aspire to become masterful healers using the intersection of natural and formal disciplines of healing to form the basis of their methods. Sages are driven by a burning desire to help others and take a highly meticulous approach to do so. ### Stones Of Eld Long ago, skilled healers of the house would make use of magical stones known as Adderstones, which they would position around the body of the sick in order to create a ley line allowing them to use powerful healing arts. The Adderstones would produce various effects based on their positioning alongside incantations of the healer. These magical stones form the basis of Sage's greatest tools the Nouliths, a collection of 4 enhanced adderstones controlled by an anchor stone the sage holds, allowing them to control and position the adderstones as an extension of their mind, weaving magic sigils to heal and harm. ### Creating a Sage Sages often had success in the medical world ahead of starting their path as a sage, or may have been mentored from a young age to wield the power. Either way it takes a strong understand of one's self and healing arts to even wield the nouliths. After the requisite baseline theories are understood a sage must have a source of knowledge to help unlock the power of the nouliths, be it a mentor, formal training or long forgotten tomes. Once a sage has begun this path they are often driven forward with the intent to protect others and bring succor to the world and its people. Be it heroic quests, mastery of their arts or the removal of those that would do harm, sage's are usually forces for good. \pagebreakNum

### Quick Build You can make a Sage quickly by following these suggestions. First make Intelligence your highest ability score, following with Constitution. Second take the sage background. Third, take the Mage Hand, Mending and Prestidigitation cantrips and the first level spells Healing Word, Mage Armor and Magic Missile. ## Class Features As a Sage, you gain the following class features #### Hit Points ___ - **Hit Dice:** 1d6 per Sage level - **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 6 + your Constitution modifier - **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per Sage level after 1st \columnbreak #### Proficiencies ___ - **Armor:** no armour - **Weapons:** daggers, darts, slings, quarterstaffs, light crossbows - **Tools:** tools ___ - **Saving Throws:** Intelligence, Wisdom - **Skills:** Choose two from Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, and Religion #### Equipment You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: - *(a)* a Quarterstaff or *(b)* a Dagger - *(a)* a light crossbow and 20 bolts or *(a)* a simple weapon - *(a)* a Component pouch or *(b)* an arcane focus - *(a)* a Scholar's Pack or *(b)* an Explorer's Pack - A set of four nouliths and an anchor stone \pagebreakNum ### Spellcasting As an aspiring mage, you can cast sage spells, See the spell list included at the end of this document for the sage spell list. #### Cantrips At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the sage spell list. You learn additional sage cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Sage table. #### Preparing and Casting Spells The Sage 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 expand a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of sage spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the sage spell list. When you do so, choose a number of sage spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Sage level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 3rd-level sage, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell *cure wounds* you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of sage spells requires time spent in study and review: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. #### Spellcasting Ability Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your sage spells. The power of your spells comes from your thorough research and preparation into aetherology. You use your Intelligence whenever a sage spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a sage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
**Spell save DC = 8** + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier **Spell attack modifier =** your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
#### Ritual Casting You can cast a sage spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use a set of nouliths and your anchor stone as a spell casting focus for your sage spells. \columnbreak ### Dosis Beginning at 1st level, you have learned how to channel your aether through your nouliths offensively. As an action, you order a noulith to make a ranged spell attack, using your ranged spell attack bonus, on a creature within 60ft. of you. On hit, each dosis beam deals 1d8 force damage. As you become better at controlling your nouliths you may make additional dosis attacks. You shoot two beams at 5th level, three beams at 11th level and four beams at 17th level. You may choose a different target for each attack. ### Eukrasia Also beginning at 1st level, when you cast a spell which restores hit points, you can instead grant the target of the spell temporary hit points equal to the healing that would be recovered + your Intelligence ability modifier. ### Kardia Beginning at 2nd level, as a bonus action, you have learned to leave a lasting aetherial connection between yourself and a creature that you can see within 30ft. of you. You may only form this connection with one creature at a time and it lasts until you use this feature again. When you cast a spell which requires you to spend a spell slot, the creature receives healing equal to #d4 hit points where # is equal to your proficiency bonus. ### Sagely Specialization Also beginning at 2nd level, you choose your sagely specialization from the following: the Savant, Philosopher or Erudite. All are detailed at the end of the class description. Your archetype choice grants you features at the 2nd, 6th, 10th and 14th 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. ### Teichos Beginning at 5th level, you learn to project your aether into a solid sheet of energy which could be used as a wall or foothold. These sheets are 10ft. x 10ft. and are 1 inch thick and easily support a creature standing on it. They have an AC equal to your Spell Save DC and 10 hit points. As an action you can create one sheet of aether centered on a location you can see within 30ft. of you which persists for 1 minute. A creature that attempts to push through the wall must make a Strength (Athletics) check contested by your spell save DC. This wall is translucent allowing creatures to see through it without difficulty. The aether wall provides three-quarters cover when calculating ranged attacks and spells that pass through the wall. \pagebreakNum You may create one additional sheet of aether at the 10th, 15th and 20th level. You may connect the sheets of aether together in a chain outside your 30ft. range as long as the center point of the next sheet is within 20ft. of the center point of the prior sheet. You may dismiss any number of sheets as a bonus action. ### Icarus Beginning at 18th level, you gain a flight speed of 60ft. ### Somanoutic Recovery Beginning at 20th level, when you are reduced to 0 hit points and not killed outright, your nouliths automatically protect you. Your body is encased in an impenetrable barrier, preventing you from taking any damage until the end of your next turn and you recover 3d8 + your Intelligence Modifier hit points. This feature can activate once. Use of this feature is recovered when you complete a long rest. ## The Curative Path Sages are focused on manipulating the life forces of friends and foes. Most often they aim to mend and prevent the wounds of those around them, but using their vast knowledge to pick their foes apart with precision. The Savant focus on masterful healing arts above all else, ensuring whatever harms their party they'll be able to contend with. The Philosopher seeks to find ways to prevent the incoming damage altogether and provide special ways to twist their magicks. The Erudite takes a vastly different path seeking swift ends to conflict by manipulating the life energy of their enemies, allowing their foes to end threats quickly. ### Savant Savants are sages who aim to reach the absolute pinnacle of healing magic. Through careful study and precise application of theory, the savant heals more efficiently than most of their contemporaries. #### Diagnosis Beginning at 2nd level, whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level. If the spell is being cast using Eukrasia, you can choose to apply this additional healing to the character's hit points instead of the temporary hit points. #### Inverse Kardion Beginning at 6th level, the healing spells you cast on others heal you as well. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points to a creature other than you, you regain hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level. \columnbreak #### Pepsis Beginning at 10th level, as a bonus action you can convert all temporary hit points provided by you to creatures within 60ft. of you into healing, restoring hit points to creatures equal to the temporary hit points + your Intelligence modifier. #### Perfected Eukrasia Beginning of 14th level, while using your Eukrasia feature, when you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell, you instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a creature, you restore 12. ### Philosopher The philosopher aims to incorporate a careful approach and defensive maneuvers to protect their allies and reduce the active time needed to mend wounds. Philosophers aim to prevent damage altogether to allow both themselves and their allies to focus on the tasks at hand. #### Soteria Beginning at 2nd level, your spells which target yourself can also be used for a creature affected by your kardia feature. Additionally, starting at 6th level, creatures who are under the Kardia effect gains a bonus to their saving throws equal to your proficiency bonus. #### Barrier Parry Beginning at 6th level, when a creature under the effect of your kardia feature is the target of an attack, you can use your reaction to reflexively protect your ally. They receive a +2 bonus to their AC until the start of your turn. You may do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. Uses of this feature are refreshed when you complete a long rest. #### Kardion Network Beginning at 10th level, you can apply the effect of kardia to up to four creatures. All creatures receive healing from the kardia feature, but any self targeted spells may only affect a single creature. #### Haima Beginning of 14th level, you can use your action to weave a barrier that provides half cover for a creature under the effect of kardia for 1 minute. This persistent barrier gives the creature a +2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. More than one creature may be under the effect of haima. You can use haima a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. Uses of Haima are recovered when you complete a long rest. \pagebreakNum
\columnbreak ### Erudite An erudite sage focuses on wielding their noulithes to weaken their foes and prevent the harm at its source. By destabilizing the aether of their foes, they seek to make combat easier on their allies creating openings and softening their enemies up rapidly. #### Eukrasian Dosis Beginning at 2nd level, you can attempt to ruin the balance of aether in a creature struck by your dosis action. When you land a dosis attack, you can choose to overcharge the strike dealing bonus damage equal to your Intelligence modifier. The creature must also make a Intelligence saving throw and on a failure become poisoned for 1 minute. The creature may use their action on their turn to re-attempt the saving throw. You may attempt to do this a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier. Uses of this feature are recovered when you complete a short or long rest. #### Aether Sickness Beginning at 6th level, when you use Eukrasian Dosis, the poison effect is not prevented by poison immunity and when a creature makes an attack roll against a creature poisoned by Eukrasian Dosis, they make the attack with advantage. #### Aether Burn Beginning at 10th level, when a creature starts their turn poisoned by Eukraisian Dosis they take 2d4 + your Intelligence Modifier necrotic damage. Additionally if creatures are not inherently immune or resistant to poison, they have disadvantage on saving throws against the effect of eukraisian dosis. #### Aether Plague Beginning of 14th level, you can use Eukrasian Dosis a number of times equal to twice your proficiency bonus. \pagebreakNum
## Samurai With blade sheathed they watched as their formed ranks and charges, running to meet them they unleashed a sweeping strike cutting through their ranks with ease. Patiently awaiting their foes to make the first move, they dodge the opening strike and deliver a ruthless counter blow in return. With wild speed and reckless abandon, they charge into the midst of battle, cutting down foe after foe before retreating back, preparing to do it all over again. The samurai are highly skilled swordsmen who make use of a variety of weapons and their trusted katanas to strike down their foes with skillful, powerful strokes. Though not widely varied in their styles, they've perfected their art and in doing so become as deadly as they come. ### The Hingashi Style Samurai can trace their roots back to the eastern region of the world, specifically in the Hingashi region. Swordsmen train hard at their craft, trasncending the martial art into a true art form. Skillful strikes faster than the eye can follow, powerful blows that rip through armor using a single clean edge, their reputation precedes them on the battlefield. ### A Crossing of Art and War Their most well known weapon is the katana, a longsword formed through a careful smithing process of folding steel time and time again and sharpening the edge of the blade to a razor's edge. Masterful artisans will impart artistic flair into the weapons, adding decorations to the scabbards, guards and handles. Wealthy merchants will seek out possession of especially gorgeous weapons, creating the potential for beautiful ceremonial weapons. ### Creating a Samurai Samurai can come from many roads, but it often leads from some kind of war time. Be it formal instruction in the
military or under a masters of the blade in schools or in mentorships. Perhaps they're self taught with an inherited blade or through inspiration of the tales of heroes sought out this path. Alongside with their training regimen, you must consider why the Samurai may have become a wanderer. Perhaps they are on a journey to better themselves or in defense of their home land, or they have been forced to leave their home due to issues beyond their control. ### Quick Build You can make a Samurai quickly by following these suggestions. First make Strength your highest ability score, following with Wisdom. Second take the Soldier background.

## Scholar Surrounded by foes, the fallen fighter felt doom looming over their head until a familiar aetherial rodent ran to their side. A blinding flash of light from its body gave the fighter the opening they needed to sway the battle in their favour. The warrior could feel their wounds setting in but continued to fight on, feeling the soothing magic of the nearby fey filling them with strength, and the supportive power of the nearby scholar pushing them onwards. The ranger paralyzed with a poison awaited their doom, when a piercing voice ordered the party to fall in to position to defend their ally, saving their life from the oncoming attack. Though rarely finding themselves at center stage, Scholars have a reputation for controlling the battle field, impeccable healing magicks and a mind for tactics that few can match, turning even the most ragtag group of adventurers into a proper fighting force. Though their arts had been lost to time, their discipline has returned to the world stage in dramatic fashion. ### Aether Given Form Scholars rely on summoning aetherial allies to their side to aide them in battle. From the nimble and shockingly vicious carbuncle, to the graceful nymian fey Scholars often split their power with their ally to support their allies to reach their fullest potential. ### Arcane Symbols Scholars derive their magic through the use of grimoires. Using intricate diagrams and sigils to weave magic, the use these arcane symbols to cast spells and summon allies to the battle field. ### Creating a Scholar Scholars are highly skilled individuals who would have either through immense effort alone, or under the tutelage of a mentor, learned the secrets of the scholars. These individuals have a wide variety of skills and likely find their roots with various organizations and may even have roots within the military. When creating a scholar you must consider how you completed your basic training in the arts and why you are setting off on a journey. A mission from your organization or mentor?

See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Scholar spell list. #### Cantrips At 1st level, you know 3 cantrips of your choice from the Scholar spell list. You learn additional Scholar cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Scholar table. \pagebreakNum #### Spellbook At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing six 1st-level scholar spells of your choice. Your spellbook is the repository of the scholar spells you know, except your cantrips, which are fixed in your mind. > ##### Your Spellbook > >The spells that You add to your spellbook as You gain levels reflect the arcane research you conduct on your own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other spells during your adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil wizard's chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library. > >**Copying a Spell into the Book.** When you find a scholar spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a level for which You have spell slots and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it. Copying a spell into your spellbook involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the mage who wrote it. You must practice the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your spellbook using your own notation. > >For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells. > >**Replacing the Book.** You can copy a spell from your own spellbook into another book. For example, if you want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell. If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that You have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires you to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many mages keep backup spellbooks in a safe place. > >**The Book's Appearance.** Your spellbook is a unique compilation of spells, with its own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume that you received as a gift from your master, a finely bound gold-edged tome you found in an ancient library, or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together. \columnbreak #### Preparing and Casting Spells The scholar 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. You prepare the list of scholar spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of scholar spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your scholar level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you're a 3rd-level scholar, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an lntelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your spellbook. If you prepare the 1st-level spell magic missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of scholar spells requires time spent studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. #### Spellcasting Ability Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your scholar spells. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a scholar spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
**Spell save DC = 8** + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
**Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
#### Ritual Casting You can cast any scholar spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use a magical grimoire, tome or other similar equipment as an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the player's handbook) for your scholar spells. #### Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher Each time you gain an scholar level, you can add two scholar Spells of your choice to your Spellbook for free. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the scholar table. On your adventures, you might find other spells you can add to your spellbook (see "Your Spellbook"). \pagebreakNum ### Tactics Beginning at the 1st level, you have developed specialized tactics during battle. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain any expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. You memorize your tactics from the tactics list located after the scholar archetype descriptions. You can change which tactics you have memorized when you complete a long rest. You can have a number of tactics memorized equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). Some tactics have specific requirements to be met before they can be memorized. ### Scholar Specialization At 2nd level, you choose a specialization to focus on as a Scholar: Arcanist, Nymian or Tactician, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your archetype choice grants you features at the 2nd, 6th, 10th and 14th level. ### Aetherial Ally Beginning at 2nd level you learn to summon an aetherial creature to assist you in battle. Traditionally arcanists and tacticians prefer to summon carbuncles to defend them in battle, while nymian scholars prefer to summon the fey of their namesake. The creature is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. Scholars have learned how to summon both carbuncles and nymian fey as the first step on their journey in this discipline. Select the relevant stat block when summoning your aetherial ally. These summons use your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. Descriptions of your aetherial allies can be found alongside the provided stat blocks at the end of the class description. In combat, your aetherial ally acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the ally to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. If your aetherial ally is reduced to 0 hit points, its body dissipates into a fog of magical energy which remains intact for one minute. You can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. Aetherial ally's body returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. You summon your aetherial ally when you complete a long rest. At this time you can summon a different aetherial ally. The new summon appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, and you choose its stat block. If you already have an aetherial ally from this feature, it vanishes when the new summon appears. The summon also vanishes if you die.
##### Scholar Summons Information about your available summons can be found at the end of the class description.
\columnbreak ### 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. ### Quicksilver Summoning Beginning at 18th level, you may use your action to summon an aetherial ally. You may do so once. Use of this feature recovers when you complete a long rest. ### Grand Design Beginning at 20th level, you recover half of your expended tactics uses when you roll for initiative. ## Witt and Wile Scholars have appeared in military roles across history. The modern day arcanists of Limsa Lominsa, the tacticians in their various titles across countless armies, and the Nymians of the distant past, they each contributed to the success of their allies, leading those around them to victory through various means. ### Arcanist Arcanists are the the tacticians of the modern age, specializing in summoning carbuncles to defend them as they cast debilitating spells to wear down their foes. Though they perform best in a group, they have learned to rely on themselves to control battle alone. #### Stabilized Aether Starting at 2nd level, your aetherial ally deals bonus damage equal to your Intelligence modifier when it makes an attack. #### Aether Sight Starting at 6th level, your bond with your aetherial allies warps your senses. You gain blindsight in a 10ft. radius around your aetherial ally. #### Gemstone Summoner Starting at 10th level, you have learned how to infuse your aetherial allies with gem inspired infusions to make them even more powerful.

## Summoner A beastial being wreathed in flames leaps into battle, flailing its flaming arms wildly sending enemy soldiers scattering in a panic, at its back, the cloaked caster who shared their essence to give birth to this elemental monstrosity. Coated in a special body paint to improve the through of magic through their body, an ambitious summoner allowed the power of godly creatures to flow through their body, wielding twisting elemental power to their will, channeling the power of an eikon through themselves. With a smug grin, their rocky summoned elemental would provide defenses and wear their foe down. Once the enemy had been weakened, the calculated summoner drew their defenders life force to empower their next attack, finishing their foes off with ease. Summoners are practitioners of ancient arts which were lost to the sands of time until recently. The summoners of eld used the powers of primals and eikons against them in order to level the playing field against would be gods. Today the art is re-emerging, and it is up to the users of the summoning arts on what its legacy will become. ### A Personal Investment Summoners use their own aether, their life essence to work their craft, and tow a line where they must maintain a powerful force of will to wield the strength of beings regarded as gods. Without a steady hand and stout heart a summoner would be unable to call upon the power of such beings putting themselves and others at risk. ### Carefully Crafted Summoning Similar to their cousins the Scholars, Summoners also make use of grimoires filled with special formulas and equations to amplify the potential of their magicks. Summoners use their personal aether to fuel the summoning and infuse it with the influence of legendary deities to give rise to the egi. ### Creating a Summoner Summoners have a combination of a rich history and a renaissance going on within their art, being employed by specialty groups, while also having a long and troubled history attached to them. You must have learned the art somewhere, be it from ancient tomes, a mentor passing the art along or a natural affinity for the art which allowed you to grasp the art naturally. You may have set out on your quest for a variety of reasons as well, be it to sharpen your skills or to hunt powerful beings that threaten the balance of the world, summoners can be equally heroic or villainous in their goals. ### Quick Build You can make a Summoner quickly by following these suggestions. First make Charisma your highest ability score, following with Constitution. Second take the Hermit background. Third, take the Mage Hand, Minor Illusion, Prestidigitation and Ruin cantrips. \pagebreakNum

See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the summoner spell list. #### Cantrips At 1st level, you know 4 cantrips of your choice from the summoner spell list. You learn additional summoner cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the summoner table. \pagebreakNum #### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher You know four 1st-level spells of your choice from the summoner spell list. The Spells Known column of the Summoner table shows when you learn more summoner spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the summoner spells you know and replace it with another spell from the summoner spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots. #### Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your summoner spells. 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 summoner 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
#### Ritual Casting You can cast any summoner spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use a magical grimoire, tome or other similar equipment as an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the player's handbook) for your summoner spells. ### Eikonic Ally Beginning at 1st level, you learn to summon an aetherial creature to assist you in battle known as an Egi. Egis are representations of various primal gods representing the elements of the land. When you summon your egi choose one of the following elements: Earth, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Water or Wind. The creature is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. Select the relevant stat block when summoning your eikonic ally. These summons use your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. Details about your egi, their stat block and the effects of your selected element is available at the end of the class description. In combat, your eikonic ally acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the egi to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the egi can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. If your aetherial ally is reduced to 0 hit points, its body dissipates into a fog of aetherial energy which remains intact for one minute. You can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. Eikonic ally's body returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. You summon your eikonic ally when you complete a long rest. At this time you can summon a different eikonic ally. The new summon appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, and you choose its element. If you already have an eikonic ally from this feature, it vanishes when the new summon appears. The summon also vanishes if you die.
##### Eikonic Ally Information about your available summons can be found at the end of the class description.
### Eikonic Trance Beginning at 2nd level, you've learned to attune your body to the latent aether of primals from the land itself. When you complete a long rest you choose an elemental primal to embody and gain their power providing a variety of benefits. This does not need to match your summoned Eikonic Ally's element. **Earth Primal.** You learn the Magic Stone cantrip and gain resistance to bludgeoning damage. When you cast a spell using a spell slot you can change the damage type of the spell to magical bludgeoning damage. **Fire Primal.** You learn the Firebolt cantrip and gain resistance to fire damage. When you cast a spell using a spell slot you can change the damage type of the spell to fire damage. **Ice Primal.** You learn the Ray of Frost cantrip and gain resistance to cold damage. When you cast a spell using a spell slot you can change the damage type of the spell to cold damage. **Lightning Primal.** You learn the Shocking Grasp cantrip and gain resistance to lightning damage. When you cast a spell using a spell slot you can change the damage type of the spell to lightning damage. **Water Primal.** You learn the Acid Splash cantrip, but when cast using this feature it deals cold damage and gain resistance to cold damage. You gain a swim speed equal to your movement speed and become able to hold your breath for one hour. **Wind Primal.** You learn the Thunderclap cantrip and gain resistance to thunder damage. When you cast a spell using a spell slot you can change the damage type of the spell to thunder damage. As a bonus action, you can let the unleash the power of your chosen primal, adding your proficiency bonus to your spell attack bonus and spell save DC for 1 minute. Additionally, you add your Charisma modifier to the damage rolls of your primal's cantrip during this time. You can unleash the potential of your Eikonic Trance a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. Uses of this feature are recovered when you complete a long rest. \pagebreakNum
### Eikonic Recovery Also beginning at 2nd level, if your eikonic ally is alive, you spend time reclaiming your shared essence from the being. Once per day when you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your summoner level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. For example, if you're a 4th-level summoner, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots. ### Summoner Calling At 3rd level, you understand your calling as a Summoner. You become an Evoker style summoner who partners with their eikonic allies in battle, an Eikconic Channler who walks the path of fully embodying the power of primals within their bodies, or the Allagan, pragmatic summoners who use their eikonic allies as yet another asset to further their goals. Your archetype choice grants you features at the 2nd, 6th, 10th and 14th 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. \columnbreak ### Enkindle Beginning at 18th level, as an action you ignite the full potential of your egi temporarily allowing them to use a special attack in an area around them. The Enkindle has a different saving throw requirement and effect based on the element of the egi.

Eventually this art was adopted by the Allagan empire to assist in their wars of conquest, which became the most well documented style. Summoners will find their callings on how to harness the power of primals and walk their own paths. Evokers seek to empower their egis to the peak of their strength, while Eikonic Channelers prefer to feel the power flow through their own body. Allagan style summoners use their egis as tools of war and fight pragmatically relying on their strength and the egi to support them. ### Evoker Evokers are summoners who follow the traditional art of summoning. Sharing a great deal of their own power with the egi to further empower it.

## Viper A great beast wreathed in flames began to crunch down on a conveniently laid out carcass of a bull. The poisoned meat fills its stomach lulling it into stupor as the viper closed in and with a few swift strikes finished the creature's reign of terror. With every movement of their glistening blades, the viper attacked in an endless flurry of blows finding every gap in the creature's defense, overwhelming them until they fell. With the lighting of an incense and a meditative state, the viper felt a surge of power allowing them summoning of flames and ice granting the edge they needed. With their awakened strength with steel and sorcery the targeted mark fell. Vipers are expert monster slayers who emulate the skill and swiftness of the snake they draw their name from. Their deadly fangs and lightning speed inspire the vipers to take on foes far larger than themselves allowing them to safe guard society from the preternatural dangers lurking in nature. ### To Fell The Indomitable In the lands of Tural, beasts sometimes epxerience special mutations which causes them to develop mystic powers and immense strength. Hunters seeking a way to overcome these foes looked to the skill and deadliness of the viper. Between poisons, swordsmanship and cunning the vipers trade their arts down between student and mentor to ensure great beasts never trample over civilization again. ### The Steel Fangs Vipers selected twin swords to represent the fangs of the creature their profession draws their name from. With a special trick to these blades, they can combine them into double bladed weapon known as a viper staff, which they whirl about to increase their range, misdirect their foes and find the perfect angle to strike their foe. ### Creating a Viper Class When creating a viper you should consider why your character chose to become one of these specialized monster hunters. Do they do so for retribution over a raging beast? Or did they do so to seek glory and mastery over their unique fighting style. You must also consider how they've come to understand the viper's arts, did they spend time in a secluded village training or did they travel with an experienced viper for a time learning the arts one on one. Upon finishing their initial training its up to a viper to wander the land staying alert to threats and slaying them as quickly as possible by any means necessary. ### Quick Build You can make a viper quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Dexterity your highest ability score, followed by Wisdom. Second, choose the outlander background. \pagebreakNum

##### Pre-Project Meteor Survivor Warrior Click [HERE!](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-Na_15N3lsKQK37nO17i) to find the original Warrior build.
\columnbreak ## Warrior A wayward blade travels towards a chirurgeon attempting to heal their fallen ally. They close their eyes bracing for the strike, only to find a large great axe blocked the blade at the last second. Fuled by unbridled fury, a man screams his throat hoarse as he slams his massive great sword down a massive beast, sundering its armour like a heated blade through butter. A brutish man raises his fists up in a rowdy tavern in defense of their friends, though unarmed their strikes land with the force of a dragon's tail against their foes. From dauntless heroes to marauding terrors, history is littered with those that allow their rage to overtake them and fight beyond limits anyone thought possible. ### The Inner Beast The Inner Beast is a concept found in many cultures across the Eitherys, viewed as both a blessing and curse depending on who you ask. Some exile these fighters for they are too dangerous, while others revere their great strength. The most well known conceptualization of this power comes from the warrior tribes of Abalathia, who train diligently to tame their inner beast and wield it as they would any other weapon. ### Rage and Steel Alongside their unending rage, Warrior's tend to wield massive weapons such as Great axes, able to swing them effortlessly with the power granted to them by their inner beast. These walking tempests turn themselves into steel cyclones that command the battlefield. ### Creating A Warrior When creating a Warrior one must consider their origins. How did they come to connect with their inner beast? Did you overcome a deadly situation through sheer will and anger? Was your inner beast a boon or bane for your life? And how will you harness your power, if you are even able to do so. You may be going through these trials alone or under the tutelage of a mentor that can guide you on the path of a warrior. You must also consider why you have taken to the road. Is this a journey to master your inner beast, or to show the world how you tamed this power and use it to protect the weak. Or are you seeking to feed this deadly force inside you, wreaking havoc everywhere you go? There is but one certain thing for all warriors, you possess great power and if you are reckless with this power it will consume you. ### Quick Build You can make a warrior quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength your highest ability score, following with Constitution. Then take the Outlander background. \pagebreakNum

## White Mage A quiet and well groomed man waves his cane around himself, drawing in magical energy from the land and calling forth it's power. With a flick of his wrist the land parted and erupted sending his foe toppling to the ground. A gentle young woman rushes to their ally's side. Through prayer and reverence for the land, it's power is shared with her, allowing her to close the wounds of her dying friend. A stern heavily robed figure approached the abomination, raised from the dead. Calling for shining light, she banishes the undead back to the abyss. Serene and elegant, the White Mages commune with the world around them, borrowing power from elementals present throughout the word. They are level headed, respectful spell casters who are aware that overstepping one's bounds in the world of magic can lead to calamity, and seek to keep order within the magic world while mending the wounds of those around them. ### One with the land White Mage's strength stems from an art they refer to as conjury. Conjury calls upon the elements of earth, wind, and water and concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved. Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation, conjurers draw forth and absorb magic from their immediate surroundings. A wand or cane made from unworked wood is then utilized to focus the magical energy until it manifests as the desired spell. Versed also in magicks that restore and strengthen, White Mages are regarded as accomplished healers. ### Patrons of Light White Mages find their roots in a society which revered nature as an ally, borrowing the power of the land and elementals to soothe wounds and protect from the wicked. Over time, the White Mages of the past overused this power causing the elementals to act out and smite the land, alongside the damage wrought by the opposing Black Mages, the world fell into a dark age. Today White Mages are few and far between, practicing the forbidden art to wield the powers of nature and light to drive off evil in protection of the world again. ### Creating a White Mage When creating a White Mage one must question how they came into the art of conjury and the profession of White Mage. Did a kindly mentor take you under their wing? Did your studies of magic from the past lead you to discovering how to draw power from the world you lived in? Perhaps the elementals which inhabit the land reached out to you and their whispers guided you to the path of a White Mage. Nonetheless a White Mage's role in the world is that of a protector, soothing the wounds of those who need it most, settling enraged elementals and driving the beings who bring destruction back from hence they came. \pagebreakNum

## The Protectors of the Future The White Mages goal in life is to safeguard the future through the use of the inherent magic hidden within the land. This has lead to three paths which a white mage chooses between to help focus what power they draw forth. An elementalist uses the power of nature to control earth, wind and water in defense of the land. The spirit master uses the essence of the world alongside the magic within their allies to bring forth powerful healing spells. The Ampdapori makes use of the power of light to bring forth a powerful advantage against blasphemous invaders to their realm. ### Elementalist White Mages who choose to focus on manipulating the elements around them come to be known as elementalists. They are able to work very closely with the elementals living across the land to borrow their strength and knowledge, turning the world itself into an ally. #### Expanded Spell List Your specialization as an elementalist lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a white mage spell. The following spells are added to the white mage spell list for you. ##### Expanded Spell List | Spell Level | Spell | |:----:|:-------------| | 1st | *Earth Tremor, Thunderwave* | | 2nd | *Earthbind, Maximilian's Earthen Grasp* | | 3rd | *Erupting Earth, Melf's Minute Meteors* | | 4th | *Stoneskin, Watery Sphere* | | 5th | *Conjure Elemental, Control Wind* | #### Elemental Blessing Beginning at the 2nd level, as an action you may expend Confession charges to bless a weapon within 30ft. of you that you can see with elemental power for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier.

You gain a mental map of an area of 2 mile radius centered on you. You must spend 15 minutes meditating while elementals share this information about the surrounding area with you. You may only commune with the elementals in this way once, your ability to do so refreshing after a long rest. Also, you can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet. #### Elemental Armour Beginning at the 10th level, as an action, you may spend 1 Confession charge to grant a creature you touch the elementals' protection. The creature gains resistance to one of the following elements: cold, radiant or thunder for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier. #### Aetherial Conjuration Beginning at the 14th level, as a bonus action you may spend a number of Confession charges to borrow power from the elementals to cast a spell. You may cast a spell whose level is equal to half the number of Confession charges spent (rounded up). ### Spirit Master A Spirit Master is a White Mage who has focused their efforts into becoming master healers. They are steadfast allies who provide a great deal of support to those around them. Drawing power from the land and the spirits who inhabit it, a Spirit Master is able to unleash incredibly potent healing and support spells. They have taken on the role to soothe the wounds of those who protect the world and those who need protecting. #### Expanded Spell List Your specialization as a spirit master lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a white mage spell. The following spells are added to the white mage spell list for you. ##### Expanded Spell List | Spell Level | Spell | |:----:|:-------------| | 1st | *Heroism, Sanctuary* | | 2nd | *Enhance Ability, Protection from Poison* | | 3rd | *Aura of Vitality, Beacon of Hope* | | 4th | *Regen, Tetragrammaton* | | 5th | *Assize, Asylum* | #### Soothe Sayer Also beginning at the 2nd level, your healing spells are more effective. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, the creature regains additional hit points equal to your proficiency bonus + the spell's level. \columnbreak #### Medicine Master Beginning at the 6th level, you gain proficiency in the Medicine skill. You have advantage on Wisdom (Medicine) checks to stabilize creatures and when diagnosing diseases. #### Clerical Smite Beginning at the 10th level, when you cast a healing spell you may spend a Confession charge to weaponize the spell, dealing radiant damage instead of healing. The spell must require a die role to be used in this way. The bonus healing that would be applied from Soothe Sayer is applied as bonus damage. Targeted creatures make a Wisdom saving throw against your Spell Save DC, taking the spell's healing as damage on a failure and half as much on a success. #### Touch of the Padjal Beginning at the 14th level, as a bonus action you may spend a Confession charge. When you cast your next spell which restores hit points, when you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell, you instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a creature, you restore 12. ### Ampdapori Some White Mages focus on the role of repelling those who do not belong in the world from it, relying on light and holy magic to drive the undead and fiends from the world through destruction. An Ampdapori White Mage has taken up arms for this very purpose, using a mix of healing magic and holy magic to smite out blasphemous creatures from the land. #### Expanded Spell List Your specialization as an ampdapori lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a white mage spell. The following spells are added to the white mage spell list for you. ##### Expanded Spell List | Spell Level | Spell | |:----:|:-------------| | 1st | *Bless, Magic Missile* | | 2nd | *Moonbeam, Sleep* | | 3rd | *Daylight, Spirit Guardians* | | 4th | *Banishment, Wall of Fire* | | 5th | *Dawn, Hallow* | #### Afflatus Misery Beginning at the 2nd level, as an action you may spend any number of confession charges to make a ranged spell attack against a creature within 60ft. of you. Your attack deals #d6 + your proficiency bonus radiant damage, where # is equal to the number of confession charges spent. \pagebreakNum
#### Inquisitor's Report Beginning at the 6th level, you may spend 15 minutes communing with the elementals to learn the location of any undead or fiend creatures within a 1 mile radius. You may only do this once before, your ability to do so refreshing after a long rest. #### Aura of Ampdapor Beginning at the 10th level, while you hold a Confession charge in your body, you emit an aura in a 10ft. radius that protects you and friendly creatures. While within your aura, creatures have resistance to necrotic damage and when they are the target of a spell which restores hit points, they recover additional hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier. \columnbreak #### Void Bane Beginning at the 14th level, as a bonus action you may spend 1 Confession charge to empower your next spell. If the target of your spell is an undead or fiend creature, it become far more effective. If your spell requires you to make a spell attack roll, you gain advantage on your attack roll. If your spell requires the target creature to make a saving throw, they do so with disadvantage. Additionally, your spell deals bonus damage on hit equal to your proficiency bonus. \pagebreakNum ## Chapter 3: Spells This chapter describes the spell lists of the classes available in this partner guide to the Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook.

## Appendix B: Spoiler Races There are some races which appear deep in the story of FFXIV and by virtue of their existence open new players up to story spoilers. Races which are reflective of this issue appear here. #### Lalafell Subrace: Dwarf In the land of Norvrandt, the Lalafells came to be known as Dwarves. These diminutive folk took to mining and crafts work, developing a distinct set of cultural customs, from giving proper boisterous welcomes by calling out "Lali Ho!" to never revealing their true faces outside of the village, hiding them beneath helmets and large fake beards, they became eccentric by any world's standards. **Ability Score Increase.** Your Constitution score increases by 1. **Dwarven Resilience.** You have advantage on Saving Throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage. \columnbreak **Stonecunning.** Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to the Origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the History skill and add double your Proficiency Bonus to the check, instead of your normal Proficiency Bonus. **Tool Proficiency.** You gain proficiency with the artisan’s tools of your choice from the following: smith’s tools, brewer’s supplies, or mason’s tools. \pagebreakNum ## Appendix C: Naming Info ### Miqo'te Tribes There are 26 tribes within the Seeker's of the Sun, here is a list to help you decide what tribe your Miqo'te came from. ##### Seekers of the Sun Tribes | Tribe Letter | Associated Creature | |:----:|:-------------| | A' | Antelope | | B' | Boar | | C' | Coeurl | | D' | Dodo | | E' | Eft | | F' | Bear | | G' | Gryphon | | H' | Gigantoad | | I' | Buffalo | | J' | Jackal | | K' | Hipparion | | L' | Viper | | M' | Marmot | | N' | Aldgoat | | O' | Mole | | P' | Basilisk | | Q' | Puk | | R' | Raptor | | S' | Zu | | T' | Condor | | U' | Drake | | V' | Vulture | | W' | Wolf | | X' | Lynx | | Y' | Jaguar | | Z' | Ziz | ### Roegadyn Words The Roegadyn name themselves by pairing up two words from their language, usually a descriptor and then a noun.

They wear this name as a badge of honour and fight to protect their families. Each tribe has its own cultural ideas. The Azim Steppe is an amazing large region of land where 51 known tribes are said to wander. It is not impossible for new tribes to form or disappear as people leave tribes to form their own or are assimilated into other groups. ##### Xaela Tribes |Tribe| Distinguishing Information | |:--:|:--:| |Adarkim |The largest of the Xaela tribes. While not the most skilled at battle, they overwhelm with numbers, taking losses in stride, knowing that a future victory over a weaker tribe will replenish their ranks. |Angura |A small tribe which keeps mainly to the mountainous region of northeastern Othard. The glare reflected by the everlasting glaciers upon which they travel has rendered this tribe's skin color a deep rusty tone. |Arulaq |A tribe thought lost 200 years ago, only recently discovered once again living in a secluded valley in the mountainous north. |Avagnar |Though defeated and absorbed by the Adarkim, several of the proud tribe's members still secretly use its ancestral name, knowing that it could mean death if they are discovered. |Bairon |A middle-sized tribe of the southern deserts and masters of survival in the driest of climes, the Bairon are all trained from a very young age to collect and drink their own bodily fluids, allowing them the ability to venture deep into places no other tribe will. |Bayaqud | A tribe of the steppe’s western edges. Women from the Bayaqud tribe will traditionally take several husbands, as did the tribe's founding matron 2000 years ago. |Bolir | A small tribe that earns its living by collecting the dung of the beastkin herds which roam the steppes. The dung is dried, turned into charcoal in temporary kilns, and sold to other tribes. |Borlaaq | A tribe of all women. While breeding with men from other tribes is allowed, if a male is born into the tribe, he is given up within a year of birth. |Buduga | An all-male tribe which only increases its ranks through battle and kidnapping. |Dalamiq | One of only a few Xaela tribes which has abandoned the nomadic lifestyle and built a small village on an islet in the middle of a two-malm-wide span of the great inner river. It is said they once worshipped the now-fallen lesser moon. |Iriq | A tribe that follows the Borlaaq, taking on any male children given up by the female warriors and raising them as their own. \columnbreak ##### Xaela Tribes |Tribe| Distinguishing Information | |:--:|:--:| |Jhungid | The second largest Xaela tribe. Mortal enemies with the Kharlu, the Jungid will spend the greater part of the year subjugating smaller tribes to swell their own ranks in preparation for an annual battle with the Kharlu--the winner gaining control over a large part of the eastern coastlands. |Kharlu |The third largest Xaela tribe. Mortal enemies with the Jungid, the Kharlu will spend the greater part of the year subjugating smaller tribes to swell their own ranks in preparation for an annual battle with the Jungid--the winner gaining control over a large part of the eastern coastlands. |Khatayin | A tribe which largely remains unseen, hunting goats in the mountains for nine moons of the year. The remaining three are spent at the foot of the great north range, where they survive off the dried meat they stocked. |Malqir |A western steppe tribe characterized by its unique leader-choosing ritual which, instead of the usual test of brawn, is a game of Kharaqiq--a chess-like game played on a circular board divided into three rings. |Mankhad |A costal tribe which fights with blow-darts made from bones dipped in the poison of the pufferfish. So practiced with the pipes are the tribe, that they can disable a target from 200 paces. |Mierqid |A desert tribe which, over the course of a year, travels between over a hundred secret buried caches of supplies restocked with each annual visit. |Noykin |Master trainers of the wild horses which populate the majority of steppe. It is said that the horsewives of the Noykin can break any beast if given but a week. |Olkund |Selective breeding has seen the average height of the central steppe-dwelling Olkund tribe males reach over two and a half yalms. The females, for whatever reason, remain of an average height. |Dazkar |Household duties such as cooking, cleaning, and childrearing are handled by the males of the Dazkar who, other than when on the move, rarely ever leave their family's yurts. Female Dazkar are tasked with hunting, and are known across the steppe as being some of the most accurate archers in the realm. |Oronir |All members of the Oronir tribe believe themselves to be direct descendants of Azim, the tribe's god of the sun. |Oroq |The Oroq create sleds made of reeds dipped in horse fat to help move their possessions and young children about the inner grasslands. \pagebreakNum ##### Xaela Tribes |Tribe| Distinguishing Information | |:--:|:--:| |Qerel |The warriors of this tribe all wear complete suits of armor crafted from the bones of steppe tigers which they kill with their own hands upon their coming of age. |Torgud |This desert tribe does not wear any clothes, choosing instead to cover their bodies almost entirely in a white paint created from mud, lime, and bone meal. The paint helps to reflect the relentless desert sun. |Tumet |The children of the Tumet, upon seeing their tenth summer, are tied to a sacred tree while the remainder of the tribe packs up and moves to their next location. Those children who manage to break free from their bonds and catch up with the tribe at that next location, are given a name and allowed into the tribe. |Ugund | When members of this tribe die, their heads are removed from their bodies and placed in a jar of fermented goat milk. Once the liquid has been drunk by the head (in other words, evaporated), the head is then buried under an anthill so that the tiny workers can carry the spirit to the afterlife. The journey is thought to be a terrible one, the road filled with ghosts of the damned, so ensuring the spirit is drunk helps ease the journey. |Uyagir |One of a handful of Xaela tribes which have given up the nomadic lifestyle. The Uyagir reside in a system of limestone caves on the northern edge of the southern deserts which are believed to have been dug by a race of giant oliphant-like beetles which were placed on the land by the gods to punish the elder tribes that had grown too greedy. |Dhoro |An elusive tribe that avoids contact with most other tribes. Lookouts are posted all about their camps with orders to flee given the moment an outsider is spotted. |Orben |A tribe that rides up and down the great inner river on boats woven from reeds and reinforced with scales from their own skin. |Ejinn |A river tribe that chooses to swim from place to place rather than walk or take boats. It is said that members of the Ejinn can hold their breaths for up to a quarter bell, and will often migrate while almost completely submerged in order to avoid contact with hostile tribes. |Dotharl| An extremely violent tribe with members who revel in massacre and are taught from a young age not to fear death. While they are quick to attack other tribes, mortality rates are high, ensuring that their numbers never grow too high. \columnbreak ##### Xaela Tribes |Tribe| Distinguishing Information | |:--:|:--:| |Hotgo |A tribe recently massacred by the Dotharl. The only members surviving are those who left the tribe to travel on their own and were not present during the killing. The Hotgo were known for their vibrant face paints which members would constantly change depending on their current mood. |Sagahl |A tribe which sees all beastkin as equals with man, therefore refuses to eat or use them as beasts of burden. As a result, the diet of the Sagahl mainly consists of steppe shrubs and vilekin. |Kahkol |A tribe made up of orphans and refugees from tribes defeated or destroyed. Many choose to combine the name of their old tribe with Kahkol. |Kha|Unlike most of the Xaela, the Kha live on the fringes of the Xaela lands, actively seeking contact with non Auri peoples, introducing many aspects of those cultures into their own. |Mol |A small tribe of devout worshippers of the elder gods, the Mol will consult with their deities (via a shaman conduit) before making any tribe-related decisions, from the direction of their next migration, to the beasts they will hunt each day for food. |Gesi| The Gesi are masters of the slingspear, a mid-sized javelin carved from mammoth bone which, instead of being thrown by hand, is flung with a leather sling to improve range, speed, and killing power. |Kagon| The Kagon are a nocturnal desert tribe who worship Nhaama, goddess of the moon and mortal enemy of Azim, god of the sun. Instructed by their goddess that to step into the sun is to succumb to the evil of Azim, they spend the daylight hours in their tents, only emerging to hunt and migrate at night. The result is an uncharacteristically pale skin for a group of people living in an almost eternally fair-weather locale. |Goro| The Goro believe horses to be perfect beings, and each male and female, upon their coming of age, is married to a horse of the opposite sex. Reproductive mates are chosen by lots. |Gharl| Before each migration, the Gharl will fill a sacred urn with the soil of the place they just camped. This soil is then dumped upon arriving at the next location. This tradition has been carried out for thousands of years, leading people to believe that most the steppe is now all of one soil. |Dataq| The Dataq cover quite possibly the most area in their migrations, for they rarely stop in one area for longer than a few bells. Sleeping is all done in the saddle, and tents are only used when the rains are heavy and unbearable. \pagebreakNum ##### Xaela Tribes |Tribe| Distinguishing Information | |:--:|:--:| |Haragin| The legends of this coastal tribe tell of a group of their ancestors who crafted a giant ship and sailed out across the endless eastern ocean. The explorers are said to have returned with tales of a terrible island covered in massive grey monoliths and inhabited by fire-breathing steel demons. |Ura| This mountain-dwelling tribe is one of the few which instead of hunting, mine the precious ores of the peaks and trade them with the steppe tribes for food. |Moks| A tribe invisible for the fact that its members are spread out across many different tribes (unbeknownst to those tribes). Communication between its members is done on the rare occasion when two tribes meet, through an ancient set of hand signals only recognizable by those who know what they are looking for. |Geneq| In addition to the standard language used by most of the Xaela in cross-tribe communication, the Geneq employ a complex system of whistles and clicks which resemble the cloud- and wavekin of the steppe. |Horo| To those who live the meager lifestyles of the steppedwellers, being overweight is a symbol of affluence and power. To appear heavier than one in their station, the members of Horo will drink copious amounts of water to bloat their bellies. |Himaa | For reasons unknown, one out of every three pregnancies amongst the Himaa result in twins. As a result, over half the tribe's members have a doppelganger. This can prove an advantage during attacks, as it confuses the enemy into believing the dead have risen. |Malaguld |One of the only tribes that accepts people of the Raen--those that have been exiled, or those who have fled persecution--into their circle. |Urumet |This desert tribe has the queer custom of travelling with their elders carried upon their shoulders. It is believed that in the flat desert, this gives the tribe the advantage of being able to see farther. |Qalli |Also known as the songbirds of the steppe, the Qalli communicate through song, attaching a melody to their words to further add emotion to the meaning. |Qestir |This tribe refuses to speak, believing that all words are lies, and that a man's actions are the purest form of communication. \columnbreak ### Garlean Hierarchy The society of Garlemand is one of strict order where one's position is worn as a badge within their name. Below is listed the known Titles and their position's role within the Empire from the Emperor down to their slaves. | Title | Function | |:---:|:-----------:|:-----------:| | Zos | Supreme leader of the Garlean Empire| | Yae | Any member of the royal family in line for the throne | | Wir | Any member of the royal family not in line for the throne | | Van | Commander of one or many legions | | Tol | Secondary Command within a legion | | Sas | Commander of a fort or base of operations | | Rem | Commander of one of a legion's cohorts | | Quo | Commander of a mid-sized unit of at least 100 soldiers | | Pyr | Watch Commander or Veteran soldier | | Oen | Regular Infantry | | Nan | Head of Magitek Research or an engineer specializing in Magitek | | Mal | High Commander of Field Engineers or Field Medics | | Lux | Commander of a unit of Medics or Field Engineers | | Kir | Veteran field medic or engineer | | Jen | Field Medic or Engineer | | Iyl | Leader of the senate | | Het | Various Magistrates of High Standing | | Goe | Local Ruler of Imperial Territory or Commander of operatives | | Fae | Senators who work to elect Magistrates | | Eir | High level civil servants | | Dus | Low level civil servants | | Cen | Artisans and manufacturers | | Bas | Merchants and workers who gather raw materials | | Aan | Slaves and the people of annexed territory | \pagebreakNum

Where FFXIV Meets D&D
What started off as a half baked idea being sewn together between classes at Teacher's College has gone through revision after revision to become what you see today! Thank you to everyone who has followed my work all this time, I hope I've done you all proud because it is the community that has truly driven me forward in continuing to work on this project for what has been over nine years now. Shout out to my Free Company simply known as DEKU (Oath to Order) on the Gilgamesh server. Their warmth and the togetherness we shared has kept me hooked on Final Fantasy XIV and that is one of the key reasons I was able to keep so engaged with this content. Come join us if you like! Thanks Everyone!
