Backgrounds

Your background reveals where you came from and your place in the world. Your fighter might have been a law enforcer or an army veteran. Your bard could have been a street artist or a journalist. Your wizard could have been a university teacher. Your druid might could have been a biologist.

As rule, you can use any background from the official sources with a few modifications regarding items, the feature and such. Feel free to check with your DM the backgrounds and what should be changed to fit a modern campaign, like modifying the proficiencies, the background feature, or changing some of the equipment (such as a wallet instead of a belt pouch).

The following list includes some of the backgrounds from the Player's Handbook with suggested ideas for using them in a modern setting.

Modern Proficiencies

Each class have proficiency with armor and weapons, and those proficiencies also applies for modern gear. For example, a barbarian is proficient with light and medium armor, shields, simple and martial weapons, so that character is also proficient with any modern gear that is part of any of these categories.

In addition, there are some classes that gain specific proficiencies with modern gear, as shown in the table below.

Starting Equipment

When creating a new character, you have to choose some starting items depending on your class. If you choose, you can use this options instead for a modern setting campaign.

Artificer

Path of the Dreadnought

You are a merciless, destructive and unstoppable force. When it comes to fighting, you are at the forefront. A dreadnought generally approach combat in the most direct way possible, rarely carrying only one gun and leaving a path of devastation behind. In the midst of battle, you are capable to take a great deal of punishment while dealing out far more to any who dares to go against you.

Body Guard

At 10th level, while you're raging, any creature within 5 feet of you that's hostile to you have disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you or another character with this feature. A creature is immune to this effect if it can't see or hear you or if it can't be frightened.

Devastating Rage

At 14th level, when you have half or less hit points while raging, you can add your Rage Damage bonus to attack rolls.

Bard

Technology Domain

Gods of technology promote the ideals of invention, city building and science. Cities, electronic and mechanical devices are the example of their ideals, empowering everyone who uses the technology in their name.

Circle of the City

The Circle of the City is made up of druids living in cities to guard and to maintain the balance between nature and civilization. Druids of this circle do not reject technology and metal, but rather they are very pragmatic about the technology and objects they use.

Commando

A commando is a soldier of an elite light infantry or special operations force specialized in assault or unconventional high-value targets. Commandos differ from other types of special forces in that they primarily operate in covert combat, front-line reconnaissance, and raiding, rather than long range reconnaissance and unconventional warfare.

Way of the Gun Fu

Monks of the Way of the Gun Fu are masters in the sophisticated close-quarters gunplay resembling a martial arts battle played out with firearms instead of traditional weapons.

The focus of gun fu is both style and the usage of firearms in ways that they were not designed to be used. Shooting a gun from each hand (usually paired with jumping to the side at the same time), shots from behind the back, as well as the use of guns as melee weapons are all common.

Oath of the Vigilante

The Oath of the Vigilante is focused on eliminating targets in the name of justice. Although the common folk might call them assassins, they prefer to have some vigilantes in the city.

Shadow Hunter Conclave

The Shadow Hunter is a tracker, a stalker, a finder of lost things and people—particularly those that do not want to be found. The Shadow Hunter is familiar with all the modern forensics methods of tracking a subject, but places equal faith in magic and supernatural methods.

Infiltrator

An infiltrator is a master of stealth who can break into places others wouldn't dream of, find what it's looking for, and get back out again while eluding or evading anyone who would try to stop him.

The Network

Your innate magic comes from the energy of the massive network around the world where every device is connected. Perhaps the constant exposure to this network through using devices connected to the internet gave you your powers.

The Superintelligence

Your patron is a very powerful and independent Artificial Intelligence. You are not completely sure how it was originated: some warlocks say it was created as an overlord for the network, and others say it was created by the massive interactions through the digital world.

School of Technomancy

A new world brings new opportunities as the magical and the mundane fuse into novel patterns. The technomage combines the rising power of magic with a deep understanding of technology. The technomage has a roster of spells that he or she may cast, and in addition gains new powers that meld magic and machinery.

• You can select this feat multiple times. Each time you do so, you must choose a different vehicle proficiency.

Currency

Most modern worlds uses a particular currency instead of gold coins, and almost every individual uses a credit or debit card for buying an item (still, they might have some cash in their pockets). To represent this, all prices found in this book are in "Credits" ($), a generic currency, and for easier conversions from other books, 1 credit equals to 1 gold piece (so if an object originally cost 5 sp, it will cost $0,5 in a modern setting).

Restricted Objects

Some objects might require licenses to own or operate, or are restricted in use to qualifying organizations or individuals. In such cases, a character must purchase a license to legally own the object. The four levels of restriction are as follows.

1. Licensed. The owner must obtain a license to own or operate the object legally.
2. Restricted. Only specially qualified individuals or organizations are technically allowed to own the object.
3. Military. The object is sold primarily to legitimate police and military organizations.
4. Illegal. The object is illegal in all but specific, highly regulated circumstances.

Even though it's up to the DM to determine which objects require a license, here are some examples of licenses a character can buy.

Special Weapons

This section describes weapons that have special rules or require further explanation.

Baton, Expandable. This weapon can be collapsed to reduce its size and increase its concealability. A collapsed baton can't be used as a weapon but it gives the conceal property. Extending or collapsing the baton is a free action.

Baton, Stun. A stun baton has 5 charges. When you hit a creature with a stun baton, you can expend one charge. The target must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 10) or be paralyzed until the start of your next turn. The stun baton must be recharged using one battery after expending the last charge.

Dart Gun. This air-dart gun fires a needle via an air compressor. The needle itself inflicts no damage, but it can deliver an injection with any poison to the target. Each dart cost $0,5, and a vial of poison can coat three darts. You can read more about poisons in the chapter 8 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

Grenade Launcher. This weapon allows you to propel a fragmentation, smoke or tear gas grenade up to 120 feet away. You can target a creature instead using a grenade launcher. On a hit you deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage to that creature, and then the grenade effect occurs.

Ketch-All Pole. A Large or smaller creature hit by a ketch-all pole is restrained until it is freed. A ketch-all pole has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success.

When you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to attack with a ketch-all pole, you can make only one attack regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.

Survival Knife. A survival knife comes with a small compass attached to the handle or pommel, and a hollow handle, which allows storing small items, such as some waterproof matches, a fishing string, or a piece of paper.

Taser Gun. A taser fires two small barbed darts intended to puncture the skin and remain attached to the target, then it applies a high-voltage, but low-current electrical charge. When you hit a creature, it takes 1d4 lightning damage and it must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 15) or be paralyzed until the end of your next turn. While the target is within range, on each of your turns for the next 4 rounds you can use your action to deal 1d4 lightning damage and maintain the target paralyzed. You can only have one creature under the taser effects, and on each of its turns it can use an action to make a Constitution check. On a success, it removes the darts and is no longer paralyzed.

A Taser must be recharged using a battery after five shots.

Suppressing Fire

Every firearm can be used for suppressing fire. As an action, you can spray in a 10-foot-cube area within the firearm's normal range using up to ten pieces of ammunition. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (the DC equals to 8 + the number of bullets used) or be affected by this until action the beginning of your next turn. A suppressed creature can't willingly move closer to the source of its suppression. On a critical fail, the creature also takes the weapon's damage. A target automatically succeeds on the save if it can't be frightened.

Firearms Accessories

Combined Module. The Combined Module is a multifunctional gadget that combines a laser sight and a tactical flashlight. You can use a bonus action to toggle between the laser sight and the tactical flashlight. You can also use a bonus action to turn it off.

While you have the laser sight on, you gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls with that firearm.

While you have the tactical flashlight on, the light illuminates a 40-foot cone and dim light for an additional 40 feet.

Weapon compatibility: Pistols, rifles, shotguns and submachine guns. You cannot add it to a weapon that already has a laser sight or a tactical flashlight.

Concealed Holster. A concealed holster is designed to help keep a weapon out of sight. In most cases, this is a shoulder holster or a waistband holster. While the weapon remains in the holster, it gains the covert property. A character can carry up to three concealed holsters (two shoulder holsters and one waistband holster)

Weapon compatibility: Dart guns, pistols, revolvers and Taser guns.

Deployable Bipod. Bipods are commonly used on weapons to provide a forward rest and reduce motion. They are also seen on other long-barreled weapons, such as sniper rifles. Bipods permit operators to easily rest a weapon on objects, like the ground or a wall, reducing their fatigue and increasing accuracy and stability.

You must use your action to deploy or retract the bipod. While you have the bipod deployed, you gain advantage when shooting over 100 feet. To deploy a bipod you must be prone or in a stable shooting position. If you have the bipod deployed and shooting from the hip, you have disadvantage on the attack rolls.

Weapon compatibility: Rifles.

Laser Sight. This gadget is a small laser placed on a handgun or a rifle and aligned to emit a visible beam parallel to the barrel to assist in shooting. The laser color can be red or green.

While you have the laser sight on, you gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls with that firearm. You can use a bonus action to turn the laser on or off.

Weapon compatibility: Pistols, rifles, shotguns and submachine guns. You cannot add it to a weapon that already has a combined module or a tactical flashlight.

Laser Sight, Infrared. This laser sight uses an infrared diode to produce a dot invisible to the eye but detectable with infrared devices.

While you have the laser sight on, you gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls with that firearm if you are wearing infrared goggles. You can use a bonus action to turn the laser on or off.

Weapon compatibility: Pistols, rifles, shotguns and submachine guns. You cannot add it to a weapon that already has a combined module or a tactical flashlight.

Scope. Scopes are used to increase the normal range of a weapon, allowing the user to shoot farther without having disadvantage on targeting. Depending on the scope you add to the weapon, you increase the normal range in a specific amount, as shown on the following table.

Weapon compatibility: light machineguns, rifles, shotguns (x2 only) and submachine guns (x2 only). You can only add one scope to a weapon.

Explosive Devices

Explosive Types

There are several types of explosives you can find in a modern world. In the following section you can find a description of each and their properties depending on their category.

Gear

Gear (Continuation)

Gear Description

This section describes items that have special rules or require further explanation.

Barbed wire. This is a roll of barbed steel wire designed to keep individuals in or out. A creature trying to cross barbed wire must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 10) or take 1d4 piercing damage and be restrained by the wire. A creature restrained by the barbed wire can use its action to make a Strength or Dexterity check (its choice) against the DC. On a success, it frees itself, on a failure, it takes 1d4 piercing damage. For setting up the barbed wire, it comes with a pair of thick gloves and anchor posts.

Battery. An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections provided to power electrical devices such as flashlights and metal detectors. Each battery recharges 5 spent charges to any electrical gear.

Binoculars. Objects viewed through the binoculars are magnified to twice their size.

Book. This category includes personal organizers, datebooks, planners, diaries, notebooks, and such. The content and sections may vary depending on the type of book.

Briefcase. Made from leather and plastic. It has mechanical locks that require either a key or a combination to open.

Computer, Desktop. This can be any large computing platform, such as a client workstation or server. The typical desktop computer has hundreds of gigabytes of storage space, a high-quality monitor and a broadband or modem access to the Internet.

Computer, Laptop. A portable version of a desktop computer. In general, laptops are as not as fast or powerful as its equivalent desktop version.

Tools

Engineering Kit. This kit includes a soldering gun, wires, clips, wire cutters and various diagnostic tools. Proficiency with this kit lets you add your proficiency bonus to any ability check you make to repair electrical devices and to disarm planted explosives.

Forensics Kit. This kit includes bindle paper, sterile swabs, distilled water, evidence seals/tape, footwear casting materials, personal protective equipment, test tubes and various other tools for collecting evidence at crime scenes without contaminating it. Proficiency with this kit lets you add your proficiency bonus to any ability check you make to investigate any area or body considered as a crime scene.

Hacking Tools. This kit contains the hardware and software necessary to allow access into most computer systems and electronic devices such as automatic port scanning, banner grabbing, footprinting, SQL Injection, web application vulnerability search, DDoS tools and data sniffing. Proficiency with hacking tools lets you add your proficiency bonus to any Intelligence checks you make to connect to or make use of a computer system or electronic device. The kit fits snugly in a backpack or toolbox. You might need a computer, a smartphone or a tablet to use some elements of this kit.

Mechanic Tools. This kit includes basic tools for repairing cars and motorcycles.

Spy Kit. This kit includes items such as camera detectors, sound amplifier, small cameras and microphones, noise generators, frequency and cell phone detectors and tracers. You might need a computer, a smartphone or a tablet to use some elements of this kit.

Disarming an Explosive

Using an action, a character can try to disable a planted explosive making a Dexterity check. If the character is also proficient with the engineering kit, it can add its proficiency bonus to the check if it have the kit at hand.

The DC for disarming an explosive varies depending on different factors, which are shown in the table below.

Repairing a Device

Most repair checks are made to fix complex electronic or mechanical devices. Using an engineering kit allows the character to add it's proficiency bonus if it's proficient with the tool. The DC is set by the DM. In general, simple repairs have a DC of 5 to 10 and require no more than a few minutes to accomplish, while complex repairs have a DC of at least 15 and can require an hour or more to complete.

Up to the DM, in some cases repairing a device might also involve a monetary cost when spare parts or new components are needed. The value of this parts in credits are equal to the total DC.

Disabling a Device

Most of the time, for manually disabling an electronic device just requires to press the power button or unplugging it, but other devices are more complex to disable. In this cases, a character can try to cut or replace wires, change some switches, remove a battery or gears, and so on.

In the following table you can find some devices and the suggested DC for disabling them.

Defeat the Device Security

When connecting to an electronic device, there is a chance it's protected by a security program or protocols that are installed to defend the system and preventing unauthorized access.

Using an action, a character can try to disable a the security and gain access by making an Intelligence check. If the character is also proficient with the hacking tools, it can add its proficiency bonus to the check if it have the tools at hand.

The DC is determined by the quality of the security program installed, as shown in the table below.

On a success, the character can log in into the device system. On a failed check, the security system immediately alerts its administrator that there has been an unauthorized entry attempt. An alerted administrator may try to identify the character or cut off the character's access to the system making a contested Intelligence check using hacking tools. If the character succeeds, the administrator attempt fails and the character can make another check to try to defeat the device security again. If the character fails, its session ends and it must wait at least 24 hours for doing this check again.

Operating a Device

If a character has access to a device, it can try to do different actions for finding files, shutting down devices, change parameters or passcodes, and so on. As an action, a character can make an Intelligence check to operate a device. The DC and time required depends on the nature of the operation. If the character is also proficient with the hacking tools, it can add its proficiency bonus to the check if it have the tools at hand.

If the character fails the check, it can try to make a new check again. In most of the cases, if a character fails a check by 5 or less, the system immediately alerts its administrator that there has been an unauthorized use of the equipment, while devices or systems with a high security will always alert on a failure. An alerted administrator may attempt to identify the character or cut off the character's access to the system making a contested Intelligence check using hacking tools (see the "Defeat the Device Security" section for more information).

Creating a Malware

Due the complexity of creating a malware, only the most experienced characters can create some of them. The character level determines the maximum rarity of the malware it can create, as shown in the table below.

For creating a malware, the character must be proficient with the hacking tools and use them during the whole process. In addition, it must have access to at least a mid-range computer to program the malware. After it's created, it can be copied into a USB flash drive for transporting it.

When programming the malware, the character must choose how the malware is triggered or activated, such as through an email attachment, a modified application, a download link, or a website download. After being triggered, the malware stays active until is deleted by making an Intelligence check.

Vehicles Rules

In this section you will find new rules for vehicles and their statistics. Vehicles are immune to all conditions and to necrotic, poison, psychic and radiant damage.

When a vehicle is stationary, a character can get in or out of using half of its walking speed. Lowering and rising a glass window takes a bonus action

Vehicles have a top speed, which indicates the maximum speed the vehicle can achieve. Additionally, vehicles have an acceleration speed, which determines the maximum speed you can increase or decrease on each turn without making a check.

Passengers. This number indicates the number of small or medium passengers (in addition to the driver) the vehicle is designed to carry. Vehicles can use that space to carry additional cargo when passengers aren't present. Each unused passenger slot allows the vehicle to carry an additional 100 pounds of cargo.

Cargo. This number indicates the maximum amount of cargo the vehicle is designed to carry. Some vehicles can carry extra passengers instead of cargo, but doing so is usually a cramped, uncomfortable, and often unsafe experience for those passengers. As a rule of thumb, one additional passenger can be carried for each 250 pounds of unused cargo capacity.

Damage Threshold. A vehicle has immunity to all damage unless it takes an amount of damage equal to or greater than its damage threshold, in which case it takes damage as normal. Any damage that fails to meet or exceed the damage threshold is considered superficial and doesn't reduce the vehicle's hit points.

Hit Points. A vehicle reduced to 0 hit points is considered non-functional. If a vehicle is reduced to 0 hit points and there is damage remaining, it burst into flame if that remaining damage equals or exceeds half the vehicle maximum hit points, dealing 4d6 fire damage to every creature that moves through the vehicle or starts its turn inside the vehicle. A vehicle with 0 hit points can't accelerate, and it decreases its speed up to its acceleration speed on each turn until it reaches 0.

Accelerate or decelerate

There are three main ways to increase or decrease the speed while driving or piloting a vehicle.

• The driver or pilot can use its action to increase or decrease the speed up to the acceleration speed.
• The driver or pilot can use its action to increase or decrease the speed up to twice the acceleration speed by making a Dexterity check (DC 10).
• The driver or pilot can use its action to increase or decrease the speed up to three times the acceleration speed by making a Dexterity check (DC 15), allowing the driver to achieve the top speed in just 1 turn.

Losing Control (Ground and Water)

Losing Control (Air)

Crash Damage

As a reaction, the occupants can try to escape the vehicle before it crashes by making a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (DC 20). On a success, they escape taking half damage and they are considered knocked prone. In addition, occupants of an air vehicle can try to jump out of the vehicle while wearing a parachute to avoid taking damage from the crash.

Ramming

The driver or pilot can move its vehicle to an adjacent space of the target (usually other vehicle) and ram it with using an action. The character makes a single melee attack, adding its Dexterity modifier and proficiency bonus if it's proficient with the vehicle, dealing bludgeoning damage on a hit. If the character is ramming a vehicle, the target's driver or pilot must make a Dexterity check to maintain control of the vehicle (the DC equals to the total damage dealt).

The damage dealt equals to two damage dices based on the vehicle's damage threshold plus the character Dexterity modifier. For example, a Sedan ramming another car will deal 2d8 plus the driver's Dexterity modifier. When ramming a static target, use the crash damage table to determine the damage instead. It's up to the DM to decide if the vehicle also takes damage when ramming, if the speed is reduced after the ram, or if the driver or pilot must make a Dexterity check for maintaining control of the vehicle.

Vehicle Modifications

Brakes. A vehicle with improved brakes allows better handling for reducing the speed or stopping a vehicle. When decelerating, the driver or pilot can decrease the speed up to twice the acceleration speed without making a Dexterity check. In addition, it can decrease the speed up to three times the acceleration speed by making a Dexterity check (DC 10)

Bulletproof Glass. Instead of providing no protection, all glass on the vehicle is now considered to be full cover. Because of this, occupants inside the vehicle can only shoot if the glass are lowered.

Vehicle compatibility: Ground, air, and water vehicles but motorcycles and personal watercrafts.

Engine. Improves the engine for more power. The top speed of the vehicle increases by 1 time the base acceleration speed.

Reinforced Body. A reinforced body allows the vehicle to withstand more damage before becoming non-functional. A vehicle with this modification increases its hit points by half of its base HP (rounded up).

Security Upgrade. Replaces all the locks on the vehicle with a customizable electronic lock, which can be set up to unlock it only when the vehicle owner's smartphone is nearby, by using a password, or any other similar method. A character trying to lockpicking the doors or the startup system of a vehicle with this modification must make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check first (DC 20).

Smuggling Upgrade. Upgrades the vehicle with two onboard hidden compartments to to conceal a weapon. In addition, the vehicle have one large space hidden somewhere within the vehicle for smuggling purposes, which can hold 12 cubic feet or 300 pounds of gear. Each one of these spaces can be discovered with an Intelligence (Investigation) check (DC 17).

Vehicle compatibility: Ground, air, and water vehicles but motorcycles and personal watercrafts.

Suspension. This upgrade improves handling of the vehicle by allowing it to move smoothly with reduced shock. When making a Dexterity check for controlling the vehicle, reduce the DC by 3. This DC reduction can be added up with the tires upgrade, if applicable.

Tires. Improves handling by adding special tires to the car which provides a better traction on specific surfaces. When making a Dexterity check for controlling the vehicle, reduce the DC by 2 when the vehicle is being driven through the same surface as the tires. A character can change the tires from one type to the other after a short or long rest if it have the mechanic tools at hand. This DC reduction can be added up with the suspension upgrade.

Vehicle compatibility: Ground vehicles only.

Transmission. A transmission upgrade increases the acceleration. A vehicle with this modification doubles it's acceleration base speed.

Lifestyle

Poor. A poor lifestyle means having few material possessions or little income. You probably sleep on temporary shelters or emergency accommodations, but you spend most of your time in the streets, eating fast food, and relying on the good graces of people better off than you. This lifestyle is surrounded by violence, diseases, hunger, and crime. People at this lifestyle level tend to be unskilled laborers, peddlers, and other disreputable types.

Lower Class. A lower class lifestyle keeps you out of the slums and ensures that you can maintain your equipment. You live in an older part of the city, renting a studio apartment or a small condo. You don't go hungry or thirsty, and your living conditions are clean, if simple. Ordinary people living this lifestyles are mostly workers who performs manual labor (known also as blue-collar workers).

Middle Class. A middle class lifestyle means that you can afford nicer clothing and can easily maintain your equipment. You live in a medium condo in a middle-class neighborhood or in a small house in the peripheral areas of the city or town. Most people living this lifestyle includes professionals with training and education, typically business qualifications and university degrees, with example occupations including academics and teachers, social workers, engineers, accountants, managers, nurses, and middle-level administrators.

Upper Class. An upper class lifestyle is composed by people who hold the highest social status, usually are the wealthiest members of class society, and wield the greatest political power, such as successful entrepreneurs, CEOs, politicians, investment bankers, venture capitalists, heirs to fortunes, celebrities, and a few number of professionals. You live in a large condo or a large home in a good neighborhood of the city, and there is a high chance you have additional properties in other cities or locations.

The elite is also included in this lifestyle, which is a small group of powerful people who hold a disproportionate amount of wealth, privilege, political power, or skill, known for being the top part of the upper class.

Modern Wages

People in modern worlds are generally more trained, have access to information, studies, and more, which can be translated in better paid jobs. Here are some suggestions on how much an individual should earn each day for maintaining a specific lifestyle. This values considers paying rent, buying food, using transportation, and an extra for additional expenses or savings.
