Using this Book

Written for both players and Dungeon Masters, this book offers options to enhance campaigns in any world, whether you're adventuring in Velaria, the Forgotten Realms, another official D&D setting, or a world of your own creation. The options here build on the official rules contained within the Player's Handbook, the Monster Manual, and the Dungeon Master's Guide. Think of this book as a companion to those volumes. It builds on their foundation, exploring pathways first laid in those publications. Nothing herein is required for a D&D campaign - this is not a core rulebook - but I hope it will provide you with new ways to enjoy the game.

Chapter 1 offers new class options for characters to choose from, as well as their subclasses. Chapter 2 offers new subclass options for classes offered in the Player's Handbook and Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. Chapter 3 offers new races, backgrounds, and feats for players to pick and choose from. Chapter 4 presents new rules and resources for DMs to use while running a game and designing adventures. Finally, Chapter 5 presents new spells and magic items for players and monsters to unleash on one another.

As you peruse the many options herein, you'll come across the serious notes, observations, and dedications made by Xandelar himself, or the witty remarks of his dragon companion Vroger.

The DM Adjudicates the Rules

One rule overrides all others: the DM is the final authority on how the rules work in play.

Rules are part of what makes D&D a game, rather than hust improvised storytelling. The game's rules are meant to help organize, and even inspire, the action of a D&D campaign. The rules are a tool, and you want the tools to be as effective as possible. No matter how good those tools might be, they need a group of players to bring them to life and a DM to guide their use.

The DM is key. Many unexpected events can occur in a D&D campaign, and no set of rules could reasonably account for every contingency. If the rules tried to do so, the game would become a slog. An alternative would be for the rules to severely limit what characters can do, which would be contrary to the open-endedness of D&D. Here's the path the game takes: it lays a foundation of rules that a DM can build on, and it embraces the DM's role as the bridge between the things the rules address and the things they don't.

Ten Rules to Remember

A few rules in the core rulebooks sometimes trip up a new player or DM. Here are ten of those rules. Keeping them in mind will help you interpret the options in this book.

Multiclassing and the Alchemical Archer

If your group uses the optional rule on multiclassing in the Player's Handbook, here's what you need to know if you choose alchemical archer as one of your classes.

Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must have at least an Intelligence or Dexterity score of 13 to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already an alchemical archer.

Proficiencies Gained. If alchemical archer isn't your initial class, here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level as a alchemical archer: light armor, simple weapons, martial weapons, one skill from the class's skill list.

Multiclassing and the Dragon Knight

Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must have at least a Strength and Charisma score of 13 to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a dragon knight.

Proficiencies Gained. If dragon knight isn't your initial class, here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level as a dragon knight: light armor, medium armor, shields, simple weapons, and martial weapons.

Multiclassing and the Worldbuilder

Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must have at least an Intelligence score of 13 to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a worldbuilder.

Proficiencies Gained. If worldbuilder isn't your initial class, here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level as a worldbuilder: light armor, medium armor, shields, simple weapons, hand crossbows, one skill from the class’s skill list, alchemical supplies.

Spell Slots. Add all your levels in the worldbuilder class to the appropriate levels from other classes to determine your available spell slots.

Being crafty is what defines an alchemical archer, in more ways than one. Always keep note of how many vials they have on hand, usually indicative of their competence.

Xandelar

Cunning Alchemists

Alchemical archers work well as the bridge between the mystical arcane and crafting. While perhaps not as devoted to magic as a wizard is, or as purely devoted to alchemy as some artificers are, what separates alchemical archers from the rest is their ability to think quickly and creatively to create brews that they can use in any situation, primarily to strike from afar. The most dangerous thing to give an alchemical archer is the time and space to think creatively and work quickly, for they can turn any situation to their advantage.

Astute Observers

Similar to their ranger brethren, alchemical archers can typically be found wandering the great expanses of large forests, primarily collecting plants and supplies to use for their brews. A skill picked up as the result of an amalgamation of things: needing to defend oneself in the forest, needing to locate very particular plants and substances, and needing to defend oneself from any other enemies, alchemical archers are observant and quick to act. One will rarely catch an alchemical archer unawares, but a fool is the one who thinks they can do so and get away unscathed.

Creating an Alchemical Archer

As you create you alchemical archer character, consider the nature of the training you underwent towards alchemy. Did you train under a mentor, perhaps a wizened wizard or another alchemical archer until you could make sufficient brews? Or did you teach yourself the art of alchemy, and sought the practice of incorporating it with archery? Did you reveal your skills to others, making use of your creative ingenuity wherever you went, or did you hide away your abilities from others?

What is it that captivates your desire to perform alchemy? Is the art something that always fascinated you, or were you inspired by others to pick up the skill? Why do you not devote yourself entirely to the rest of the mystical arts as a wizard might? Were those studies simply not a matter of interest to you? Or perhaps, was it that they once were, but you were not allowed to study those arts further for some reason?

Quick Build

You can make an alchemical archer quickly by following these suggestions. First, Dexterity should be your highest ability score, followed by Intelligence. Second, choose the Inheritor background.

CHAPTER 1 | CLASS OPTIONS

Hit Points

• Hit Dice: 1d8 per Alchemical Archer level
• Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
• Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per Alchemical Archer level after 1st

Proficiencies

• Armor: Light armor, medium armor
• Weapons: Simple weapons, martial weapons
• Tools: Alchemy Tools

• Saving Throws: Dexterity, Intelligence
• Skills: Choose two from Arcana, Athletics, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, Perception, and Survival.

Focus

At 3rd level, you choose an focus that you spend your time studying: Tactical Marksman or Alchemical Aptitude, both detailed at the end of the c1ass description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 11th, and 15th 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.

Martial Versatility

Whenever you reach a level in this class that grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can replace a fighting style you know with another fighting style available to alchemical archers. This replacement represents a shift of focus in your martial practice.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you may attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Chemical Knowledge

At 6th level, your deep study chemistry pays of, as you delve into ancient mysteries, hoping to unlock knew power. You may spend 1 hour to attempt to make a potent potion using the same chemicals as you use for your arrows. Make an Alchemy check (adding your proficiency) DC 10 at the end of the hour. On a success, the potion is created, otherwise the concoction fails and a small explosion occurs, dealing 1d4 force to creatures within 5 feet. The potion has a throwing range of 20/60. When thrown, each creature within 5 feet of it's destination suffers the same effect as the potent mixture you chose while creating it and is dealt 1 slashing damage as the vial bursts open. You may only create one potion per a long rest due to the complex and delicate nature of the chemicals. The potion’s effects fade after your next long rest.

Alchemist's Intuition

At 10th level, you've synthesized enough chemical hazards to know when to duck for cover. Whenever you must make a saving throw, you may add half of your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to the roll. You must be conscious to gain this bonus.

Alchemical Restoration

At 14th level, your alchemical knowledge is vast and your compounds are catalyst to restorative properties. You may spend an hour creating a specially crafted Alchemical Restoration potion. Make an Alchemy check (adding your proficiency) DC 10 at the end of the hour. On a success, the potion is created, otherwise the concoction fails and a small explosion occurs, dealing 1d4 force to creatures within 5 feet.

Acute Marksman

Strategy is key to bringing down any opponent, and you’re no novice at such games. By concentrating on a targets movement, the terrain surrounding them, and using a bit of trickery, your shots seem to never miss.

Alchemical Aptitude

Your archery is an invaluable skill, but it is a tool to further your alchemical prowess. You’ve learned to weave these abilities together, making both feed off of one another.

Dragon Knight

A human clad in gleaming plate armour stares down a
snarling owlbear, slowly reaching for the lance strapped
across her back. The owlbear charges before she can reach her weapon, but a gout of fire from the sky stops the owlbear in its tracks. The gold dragon lands in front of the human, its eyes burning with a fiery vengeance as it snorts, causing flames to billow from its nostrils. Mounting her dragon, the human lets out a war cry as the dragon takes off into the air.

Pulling the bowstring back, the elf whispers a few hushed words as an arcane fire erupts around the goblins below. Lightning sparks at the tip of his arrow, and he grins to himself as he fires at the goblin chief. The arrow finding its mark, the goblin chief can barely cry for help as lightning explodes from his body, arcing off to his nearby guards. In the trees, a nearby blue dragon chuckles to itself as it descends upon those left.

The platinum dragon sniffs at some rubble before nudging it, looking back towards a halfling. She comes over and together they shift the rocks. Reaching her hand out, the halfling brushes the hair out of the eyes of the small boy who lies in the rubble. A shield of divine magic wraps around his small frame as the halfling pulls him into her arms, carrying him to safety.

Scowling to himself, the half-orc looks around the darkened cave for his quarry. Letting out a short whistle, a dark dragon, onyx in colour, seems to appear from the shadows with a dead drow in its maw. Rolling his eyes, the half-orc makes a motion with his hands, and the dragon spits out the drow, a sheepish expression on its reptilian face as darkness begins to swirl around the pair, causing them to vanish.

While different in personality and fighting styles, all of these heroes are dragon knights, a champion who fights alongside a dragon companion. Tough, relentless, and unyielding, knights and their dragons never give up, fighting to either heroic or devious ends.

Creating a Dragon Knight

When creating your dragon knight, there's one question you should consider before all others; how did you get your dragon? Did you find an egg, and manage to form a bond with the hatchling? Was it a gift from an ancient dragon, looking for someone to protect its young? Did it declare you as its knight one day, much to your surprise?

All dragon knights go through the bonding ceremony, which is where they form a close bond with their dragon, establishing each other as allies and protectors. Was your dragon willing in this ceremony, or was it raised to serve you? Or did your dragon actually perform the ceremony, and you had absolutely no clue as to what was going on?

Something else you must consider is your character's martial abilities. All dragon knights are skilled in combat, and how your character is too is something that will need to be considered. Perhaps they where a student at a military academy, or a guard-in-training at their home village?

Dragon Covenant

At 1st level, you form a covenant with a type of dragon. The damage type associated with each dragon is used by features you gain later. You also gain the service of a dragon, who's statistics can be found at the end of the document. The dragon gains additional damage immunities and traits, depending on the type of dragon you chose for your Dragon Covenant.

Companion's Bond

Also at 1st level, your dragon gains a number of benefits because of the bond you have forged together.

The dragon obeys your commands as best it can. Your dragon shares your initiative, and acts on your turn. You determine its actions, decisions, attitudes, and so on (no action required by you). If you are incapacitated, your dragon acts on its own. If you're absent, it rolls its own initiative.

Your dragon can't take the Attack action. It has yet to master flying and falls if it ends its turn in the air. Additionally, it can't be used as a mount or can't fly with a creature it has grappled.

Your dragon companion has abilities and game statistics determined in part by your level. Your dragon uses your proficiency bonus rather than its own. While not wearing barding, your dragon companion has a natural armour class of 10 + its Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus.

Archery

You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

Blind Fighting

You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.

Duelling

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.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or a 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 two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Two-Weapon Fighting

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Interception

When a creature you can see hits a target, other than you, within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by ldlO + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.

Bite Attack

Your dragon makes a melee weapon attack against a creature within 5 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 piercing damage, and an extra 1d6 damage. This extra damage increases to 2d6 at 6th level, 3d6 at 10th level, and 4d6 at 14th level. The additional damage is the same type as the one associated with your Draconic Covenant.

Tail Attack

The dragon makes a melee weapon attack against a creature within 5 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage, and must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. The reach of this attack increases to 10ft at 6th level, 15ft at 10th level, and 20ft at 14th level.

Wing Attack

Rather than making an attack, your dragon can beat its wings. Creatures of your choice within 5 feet of your dragon must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is pushed 5 feet away from the dragon. The range of the push and distance a creature is pushed on a failed save increase by 5 feet at 6th level, 10th level, and 14th level. Immediately after making this special attack, your dragon can move up to half its flying speed.

Draconic Nature

At 11th level, you take on the physical aspects of a dragon. You gain resistance to the damage type associated with your Draconic Covenant, and you gain one of the following benefits:

Scales. Scales cover sections of your body, helping shield you from harm. While you aren't wearing armour, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. You can still wield a shield and get this benefit.

Eyes. Your eyes become sharp and focused. You gain proficiency in the Perception and Investigation skills if you aren't already, and you have advantage on any (Wisdom) Perception or (Intelligence) Investigation checks based on sight.

Tail. Your spine extends and you grow a scaled, muscular tail. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can attempt to shove a creature within 10 feet of you as a bonus action.

Titanic Roar

Starting at 13th level, your dragon can let loose a vicious roar, filling nearby creatures with dread.

As an action on its turn, your dragon can roar. Any number of creatures of your choice within 20 feet of the dragon must make a Wisdom saving throw against the dragon's breath weapon DC. On a failed save, creatures are frightened of the dragon for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.

Once your dragon has used this ability, it can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Legacy of the Dragon

At 14th level, you have been blessed with a dragon's extended lifespan. You age only one year for every ten years that pass, and can't be aged magically.

Ancient Resistance

At 17th level, you can shrug off even the most dangerous effects. Whenever you or your dragon fail a saving throw, you can choose to turn that failure into a success.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Fulfilled Covenant

At 20th level, you and your dragon share hit points, the total of which is equal to your hit point maximum + your dragon’s hit point maximum. Whenever one of you takes damage, that damage is subtracted from your combined hit point maximum. When this hit point maximum hits 0, both you and your dragon fall unconscious, but only you make death saving throws. If you become stable or die, so does your dragon. If you receive any healing, both you and your dragon return to consciousness. When you spend hit dice during a short rest, you can use both your hit dice and your dragon’s hit dice to restore hit points.

Dragon Knight Practice

All dragon knights can call themselves members of the Rider Practice, Elemental Practice, Platinum Practice, or Shadow Practice. The Rider Practice focuses on working in sync with their dragon: both in and out of the heat of combat. The Elemental Practice heightens their battle skill with magic, unleashing destruction on their foes. The Platinum Practice uses the divine magic of Bahamut to support their allies, protecting them with their holy light. The Shadow Practice uses misdirection and guile to gain the upper hand in all situations.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you heighten your battle ferocity with the ability to cast spells. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 of the Player's Handbook for the sorcerer spell list.

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

Spell Slots. The Elemental Practice Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spells level or higher. You regain all expended slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the first level spell chromatic orb and have a 1st-level and 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast chromatic orb using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher. You know two 1st-level sorcerer spells of your choice. Both must be from the enchantment and evocation spells on the sorcerer spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Elemental Spellcasting table shows when you can learn more sorcerer spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an enchantment and evocation spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st of 2nd level.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the sorcerer spells you know with another spell of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be an evocation or enchantment spell.

Spellcasting Ability. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, since your magic draws from the power and dominance of dragons. 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 sorcerer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Platinum Practice

A few dragon knights worship the Platinum Dragon, Bahamut. These few are members of the Platinum Practice, and are dedicated to preserving the lives of their allies and the innocent.

Worldbuilders draw on the very essence of certain planes which they strive to champion and defend from outside threats. Doing work with a worldbuilder means you do work with, usually, various otherworldly beings.

Xandelar

Body of Power

A worldbuilder's power draws from a process of exchange: to give up parts of their life to grant them access to undiluted arcane energy. Each worldbuilder learns a unique way to harness their life force through intense study of how the arcane is used by other creatures or forces in an attempt to emulate their abilities. Worldbuilders are not typically reckless with the exchanges they make, but will not hesitate to make a necessary exchange.

Servitor of Planets

Worldbuilders find themselves connected to all facets of the planets they serve. Nature, creatures, the organized inhabitants, the gods worshipped, all are of equal importance to a worldbuilder. The process of life is change and evolution, whatever may threaten such a thing for a planet is undoubtedly the enemy of a worldbuilder.

Worldbuilders can have a variety of reasons to set out on adventure, but their goals are typically governed by a sense of higher logic, that is, they think on the benefits and drawbacks to worlds and planes at large rather than focus on the little things. When a worldbuilder sets out on a quest, it is typically to help handle something that threatens a world at large.

Creating a Worldbuilder

As you make your worldbuilder character, consider the character's relationship to the other planes of existence. Do you work to peacefully see out the goals of one particular plane of existence or a group of them, or do the goals you seek to accomplish demand you violently destroy other creatures who act contrary to you?

What do you feel is your importance to the planes and locations you serve? Are you a humble yet lowly servant or a figurehead that speaks often with great leaders, maybe even gods?

Why is it that you took the time to study the world around you and learn how to manipulate the arcane forces prevalent in all things? Were you forced to study these forces by some dark sect wishing to make use of the power you learn to manipulate? Or perhaps you stumbled across some series of archaic texts detailing methods of arcane manipulation lost to history and were enraptured by its contents? In any capacity, your ability to manipulate the arcane is wildly different than what is standard.

Quick Build

You can make a worldbuilder quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second, choose the sage or hermit background. Third, choose the green-flame blade and word of radiance cantrips, along with the 1st-level spells false life and find worldly ally.

CHAPTER 1 | CLASS OPTIONS

Hit Points

• Hit Dice: 1d8 per worldbuilder level
• Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
• Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per worldbuilder level after 1st

Proficiencies

• Armor: Light armor, medium armor, shields
• Weapons: Simple weapons, hand crossbows
• Tools: Alchemist's supplies
• Saving Throws: Constitution, Intelligence
• Skills: Choose two from Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, Nature, Perception, Religion, and Survival

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) a shield and any simple melee weapon, or (b) a hand crossbow with 20 bolts
• (a) leather armor or (b) hide armor
• (a) an explorer's pack or (b) a scholar's pack
• A focus of the planes

Spellcasting

Your deep-seated connection with the essence of worlds and the knowledge you possess of how creatures craft their magic provides you access to manipulation of the arcane which permeates all living things. See chapter 10 in the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and below for the worldbuilder spell list.

The Energy Planes

You have placed your focus on advancing the goals and seeing to the betterment of the energy planes. Notable locations that exist within the energy planes include the Positive Energy Plane and the Negative Energy Plane.

Ah, the inner planes. So simple, and yet so unique! Oft considered the centerpiece of many planar plans, both good and bad you know.

Vroger

Inner Planes Spells

Starting at 2nd level, your connection to the planes infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. At 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th level you gain access to inner plane spells connected to the plane you primarily concern yourself with. Choose that plane - Material, Water, Earth, Fire, or Air - and consult the associated list of spells.

The Transitive Planes: the thread which weaves together all planes together. Unwise to make an enemy of one who can find you anywhere you hide.

Xandelar

Transitive Planes Spells

Starting at 2nd level, your connection to the planes infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. At 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th level you gain access to transitive plane spells connected to the plane you primarily concern yourself with. Choose that plane - Ethereal or Astral - and consult the associated list of spells.

Unerring Sight

Also at 2nd level, you become better at discerning the physical world which surrounds you. If you do not have darkvision, you gain darkvision up to 120 feet. If you have darkvision and it is less than this value, it increases to 120 feet. Also, you gain blindsight up to 20 feet. Finally, you gain proficiency with Perception checks and advantage on Perception checks made with sight.

Unhindered Transportation

Starting at 6th level, you gain the ability to move through means of restraint with ease by partially accessing regions of the ethereal plane. If you or your allies are under the effects of some status condition or spell which restricts your movement or actions as listed below, you can use your life expenditure ability to undo the effects.

If the effect is from a spell, you expend hit points equal to the spell's level multiplied by the feature's factor. Otherwise, simply expend hit points equal to the multiplicative factor associated with your life expenditure feature.

For example, to remove yourself from the restrained condition of the web spell while you are at 7th level, 2 x 5 = 10 hit points must be sacrificed. You lose these hit points the moment you undo the status condition. Note that the multiplicative factor decreases to 4 at 11th level.

The conditions under which you can use your life expenditure ability to remove yourself from, be it from a spell or some other outside force, are: grappled, paralyzed, prone, and restrained.

Vast Connection

Starting at 10th level, you gain the ability to request the aid of a creature which resides in either the ethereal plane or astral plane. From the ethereal plane, you may ask for aid from: a foo dog, a foo lion, a nilshai, a xill, a phase spider, or an ethereal dragon. From the astral plane, you may ask for aid from: a foo dog, a foo lion, a berbalang, a gith, a phane, or an astral dragon. Depending on the nature of your adventure, another plane and its creatures might be more appropriate for you: discuss with your DM the choice in plane and creatures you can request aid from.

The phase spider and the berbalang are willing to fight for you should you call for their aid, however the other creatures can only provide assistance in other matters. The foo creatures serve as excellent guides and moral support. Nilshai, ethereal dragons, and astral dragons are curators of history and unique items. Xill and gith are races hellbent on conquering their foes, and might help you do the same for a price. Finally, a phane might provide you with power should you and the creature align your goals properly.

You can have only one of these creatures present with you at a time. A creature will disappear if it ether drops to zero hit points or you dismiss it. You can call upon any of these creatures a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses after the end of a long rest.

They are more of a wild bunch than the rest, primarily because there are so many different Outer Planes. They tend to fight with one another because they usually have exactly opposing beliefs.

Vroger

Order Prefect

Also at 2nd level, your understanding of how creatures and objects interact with the world deepens. If you spend a minute investigating an object or creature, you gain information about said object or creature.

For a creature, you can determine information about one ability score and its respective saving throw of your choice. Also, you can recall information about normal behavior for the creature and how it prefers to face conflicts. Note that this ability does not provide information about how unique creatures of a monster type operate differently than the rest of their kind (for example, the spell does not reveal how the vampire Strahd von Zarovich is different from other vampires).

For an object, you gather all information found by using the identify spell, or basic information about the object such as its intended function and use if it is nonmagical.

Outer Planes Spells

Starting at 2nd level, your connection to the planes infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. At 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th level you gain access to outer plane spells connected to the plane you primarily concern yourself with. Choose that plane - Law, Chaos, Lower, or Upper - and consult the associated list of spells.

Beauty of the Fey

Prerequisites: None

You gain the ability to cast charm person, at 1st level, a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.

Empowered: You can now cast charm person at 5th level with this ability.

Blessings of Elyisum

Prerequisites: 9th level

The number of attunement-based magic items you can attune to increases from 3 to 4.

Empowered: You can now attune to 5 magic items instead of 4.

Body of Earth

Prerequisites: 5th level

You can cast meld into stone, at 3rd level, once a day at will, without expending a spell slot.

Empowered: You can cast meld into stone on a number of people equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. Also, you can cast earthbind a number of times equal to your half your spellcasting ability modifier (rounded down).

Breath of Fire

Prerequisites: 5th level

You can cast fireball, at 3rd level, once a day at will, without without expending a spell slot.

Empowered: You can cast fireball and flaming sphere each a number of times equal to half your spellcasting ability modifier (rounded down).

Bytopian Duality

Prerequisites: None

Once per day, you can invert the roll of an attack roll, an ability check, or saving throw of any creature that you can see. For example, rolling a 1 on an ability check and invoking Bytopian Duality makes the roll a 20. On the other hand, if a creature rolls a 20 on an attack roll, you can invoke Bytopian Duality to make the roll a 1. The conversion is as follows: 1-20, 2-19, 3-18, 4-17, 5-16, 6-15, 7-14, 8-13, 9-12, 10-11.

Empowered: You can now use this ability three times, and you regain their use when you complete a short or long rest.

Carcerian Demodands

Prerequisites: 9th level

You can call upon the aid of a demodand from Carceri when you desire destruction. As an action, you may attempt to summon a demodand to aid you either in combat or for advice. Roll a d100. If you roll a number equal to or lower than your worldbuilder level, a farastu intervenes. Once you summon the demodand, you cannot use this feature again for 3 days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a long rest.

Empowered: When you roll to summon the demodand, you gain the ability to call upon kelubars and shators as well. If your roll is between 1 and 1/4 of your worldbuilder level, you may summon a shator. If your roll is between 1/4 and 1/2 of your worldbuilder level, you may summon a kelubar. Between 1/2 of your worldbuilder level and twice your worldbuilder level, you summon a farastu.

Note: Each creature's statistics are detailed in Chapter 7.

Chaos Control

Prerequisites: 9th level; does not have Machinations of Mechanus ability prepared; has an alignment of chaotic

You have advantage on Constitution saving throws that involve maintaining a concetration-based spell. Also, once a day as a reaction to taking damage, you may choose to change the DC required to maintain the spell to be either half of the damage you take or the DC 10 Constitution saving throw.

Empowered: As a reaction on your turn to whenever you take damage from multiple sources, you may roll once against one attack to maintain concentration on your spell for the entire round. Once you use this feature, you must take a long rest to regain its use.

Dark Inimicality

Prerequisites: 13th level; does not have Light of Life ability prepared

You gain access to the wizard spell list and can choose one feature from the School of Necromancy, barring Command Undead, to add to your features list.

Empowered: You add the Command Undead feature from the School of Necromancy wizard features list to your features list.

Eternity of Gehenna

Prerequisites: None

You do not age and do not suffer the effects of aging. Any effect or spell that increases or decreases your age has no effect while this feature is active. You also gain proficiency with History (Intelligence) checks.

Empowered: Once a day, you can cast the teleport spell to return to any location that you have priorly visited. The area is considered very familiar to you, at a minimum.

Ethereal Spirit

Prerequisites: 5th level

You can cast blink once a day at will, without expending a spell slot.

Empowered: When you cast blink, you can remain in the Ethereal Plane up to a minute or until you use your action to dismiss the spell. You can freely move while in the Ethereal Plane. Once the spell ends, you return to the plane you came from at whatever location you have moved yourself to.

Gaze of the Abyss

Prerequisites: 13th level

You can cast eyebite once without expending a spell slot. You regain this feature when you complete a long rest.

Empowered: When you cast eyebite using this feature, you can instead target two creatures the first time you cast the spell instead of one.

Augmenter

An augmenter is an expert of intermixing technology with the body. Augmenters use their creations to enhance their bodies to surpass the normal physical and mystical constraints they face.

Future's Grace

Prerequisites: 9th-level artificer

Item: A tough sheet of leather

This magic item grants you predictive powers over the ever changing future. While the item is attuned to a creature, the item can do one of four things that you can choose to change at the end of a short or long rest:

• Safety from Might: Creatures have disadvantage when they attack you with nonmagical weapons.

• Safety from Arcane: You have advantage on saving throws against spells.

• Insightful Might: You have advantage on melee and ranged attack rolls.

• Insightful Arcane: You have advantage on spell attacks.

The Order of the Nimbus keeps track of every known chronosmith artificer across the planes of existence. Their ability to manipulate the fabric of reality by tampering with the weave is an extraordinarily dangerous ability amongst mortals, and some gods have even expressed concern to their prowess. I ensure that those concerns are of little consequence at the end of the day.

Xandelar

Nanosmith Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Nanosmith Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Nanomachines

At 3rd level, you learn how to create magical nanomachines. Using jeweler's tools or smith's tools, you can take an action to magically create a batch of nanomachines that fit within your hands.

You can create and have active a number of batches of nanomachines equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). You can have multiple nanomachine batches active at the same time. The nanomachines are magical objects. Each batch has an AC of 10 and a number of hit points equal to your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage, psychic damage, and all conditions. If it is forced to make an ability check or saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+0).

If the Mending spell is cast on it, a batch regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points. You can dismiss any number of batches early as an action.

When you create batches, you decide which type it is choosing from the options below. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to mentally command the nanomachines to switch operating modes if you are within 60 feet of a batch. As part of the same bonus action, you can direct the batch to move up to 30 feet.

If you move to a point where you would be out of range of your nanomachines, they move to follow you unless directed otherwise. Further, the batches of your nanomachines, if not directed to any other directive than their original one, will continue to target its primary creature and fulfill its objective mode.

• Slow Mode: Your nanomachines work to limit the movement of your enemies. If a target creature is within 60 feet of you, you can command a batch of nanomachines to impede their movement, creating difficult terrain within a 10 foot radius of the target creature.

Nanosmiths prove to be vexing at times, their creations being a testament to their namesake. It is difficult to track what they may bring in to a fight, suggest using magic to identify any signals to look out for. Vroger suggests stomping on the nanomachines.

Xandelar

I have met many people who have taken up the road of redemption. Often paladins, but sometimes a barbarian. Their rage is fueled by their loss and pain for others, showing the depth of the heart, their feelings.

Xandelar

Armored Defender

When you choose this path at 3rd level, your defense becomes impeccable. You gain heavy armor proficiency, and you can rage while wearing heavy armor.

Aegis

Beginning at 6th level, you gain resistance to damage from all nonmagical weapon attacks.

As an action while you are raging, you can grant this benefit to one willing creature of your choice within 60 feet of you for one minute. Doing so, however, grants creatures advantage on weapon attacks against you.

Only one creature can be under the effect of Aegis at a time.

Pavise

At 10th level, you gain resistance to damage from all spells.

As an action while you are raging, you can grant this benefit to one willing creature of your choice within 60 feet of you for one minute. Doing so, however, grants creatures advantage on spell attacks against you, and invokes disadvantage on saving throws against spell effects for you.

Only one creature can be under the effect of Pavise at a time.

Stand for the Weary

At 14th level, you become a shield for your allies, impervious to the blows inflicted onto you. Whenever an ally is hit by an attack and they are within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to step in place of the blow, taking the damage onto yourself.

Further, your self sacrifice boosts the resolve of the ally you defend, granting them temporary hit points equal to half your barbarian level. You can grant these temporary hit points a number of times equal to your consistution modifier (minimum 1), and get all uses of this feature back when you finish a long rest.

Path of the Ravager

These sorts of people make me uncomfortable, they LIKE it when they can cut limbs off of people. The Order doesn't stand for that, it's a vice.

Vroger

Many barbarians collect trophies from their slain enemies. The Path of the Ravager is one whose followers make good use of their trophies, using them as fonts of power to aid them in battle. Barbarians who follow this path have a deep-seeted desire to collect as many trophies as possible, and amass as much wealth as they can with said trophies.

Eye for Profit

When you choose this path at 3rd level, you know how to collect profit out of the death of your enemies, regardless of whatever coin that may be in their possession. It takes you half the time to dissect a creature of its valuable parts, and you can sell your parts for double the profit. Refer to section 4 for a general list of harvestable/collectible items that you may obtain from a creature, although the DM makes the final call on the items that a creature may have on their person.

Gamble

At 3rd level, you can gamble portions of your earnings away on chance to help your odds of success, or to hurt them. You can use your reaction wile raging to magically consume an item you have despoiled from a foe to grant yourself advantage on a saving throw or to grant yourself an attack and damage bonus to a melee weapon equal to half your level for one round, of the same damage type of the weapon.

CHAPTER 2 | SUBCLASS OPTIONS

As constant yet changing as the night and the day. They're quite well-versed in many arts, which makes them quite fun at get-togethers! They are quite serious, though.

Vroger

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of the Sun and Moon at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with a skill of your choice, a tool of your choice, a single weapon of your choice, and one medium armor of your choice.

Night and Day

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to channel yourself so your skills and body are as ever changing as the cycle of night and day. As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to grant yourself or another creature within 60 feet of you temporary proficiency in a skill, tool, or weapon of your choice. This temporary proficiency lasts for 30 seconds, and only one creature can be under this effect at a time.

The duration of this skill increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 1 minute at 5th level, 10 minutes at 8th level, and 1 hour at 15th level.

Finally, you regain all expended uses of your Bardic Inspiration dice when day changes to night, and when night changes to day.

Evasion

At 6th level, you can dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a gold dragon's fire breath or a Disintegrate spell. When you are subjected to an Effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Sunsinger / Moonsinger

At 14th level, you can draw grand power at any point in the day, from the sun and the moon. You can expend all uses of your Bardic Inspiration dice once during the day, or all of your Bardic Inspiration once at night, to empower you and a number of allies equal to your proficiency bonus. The benefits you and your allies gain depend on the time of day.

• Sol: The sun shines down onto you, filling you with warmth, energy, and power. You and your allies can add your Charisma modifier to skill checks and attack rolls. This bonus lasts until day turns to night.

• Luna: The moon's rays lighten your way, the cool night air a comfort in solitude. You and your allies can add your Charisma modifier to saving throws and damage rolls. This bonus lasts until night turns to day.

Fate Domain

Followers of the gods of fate tend to stay within their enclaves, serving as advisors, oracles or soothsayers. Some attach themselves to great leaders, some seek out the birth of an auspicious child to grant it blessings, and others end up joining forces with adventurers, called by their deity to bear witness to and help realize the great deeds of these companions.

Similar to star druids, but different in that they pray to the . . . same gods? That's a bit confusing.

Vroger

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and heavy armor.

Domain Spells

At 1st level, you gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the Star Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

As Unshakeable as a Mountain

Starting when you choose this domain at 1st level, you can use your action to touch a willing creature other than yourself to give it a temporary proficiency in a skill with which you are already proficient. This blessing lasts for 10 x your proficiency bonus minutes or until you use this feature again.

Only one creature can be under this benefit at a time, and you can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). You regain all expended uses of this ability when you complete a long rest.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with heavy armor and longswords.

Domain Spells

At 1st level, you gain domain spells at the cleric levels listed in the World Domain Spells table. See the Divine Domain class feature for how domain spells work.

Channel Divinity: As Swift as Wind

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to bolster you and your allies speeds to be like strong winds. As an action, you present your holy symbol and mutter a prayer phrase to the spirits of the winds. You and each creature that you designate within 60 feet of you can take 1 additional action on their turn to either: dash, disengage, dodge, or make a single weapon attack.

As Fierce as Fire

Beginning at 6th level, you can substitute your Wisdom modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls of your weapons.

Divine Strike

At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

As Gentle as a Forest

Starting at 17th level, you can use your action to activate an aura of peace and healing that lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it using another action. Your aura extends out to 60 feet. As long as you do not take the attack option on yor turn or cast a spell which deals damage within the aura, any friendly creature that you designate within the aura benefits from the effects of mass cure wounds for the duration.

Also, if a hostile creature enters into the aura for the first time or starts its turn there, it must make a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you and any designated allies for the duration. A creature charmed this way will halt all attacks against you and your allies and be pliable to discussion.

Circle of the Critter

Druids who are members of the Circle of the Critter keep watch over all of the smaller beasts of the wild, always looking out for the underdogs. However, these druids never underestimate any power that may be hidden by size, and neither shoud their foes. Being unassuming is a benefit, as these druids can blend into their backgrounds easily but remain a powerful threat should they be provoked. As a member of this circle, the face you may wear never truly reveals what you are.

Bonus Cantrip

At 2nd level, you learn the light cantrip.

Circle Spells

Your wonderful connection with the sun infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to circle spells blessed by the power of the sun.

Once you gain access to a circle spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn’t appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.

Circle of the Undergrowth Spells

The lich version of fighters: dark knights strike dark deals for dark purposes. All so very dark.

Vroger

Profanity

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn a host of profanities that embolden your powers.

Profanities You learn two profanities of your choice from the list below. You gain an additional known profanity at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 18th level. Each time you learn a new profanity, you can also replace one profanity you know with a different one.

When you activate a profanity, a dark colored aura surrounds you imbuing you with the specific profanities bonus. You can use a bonus action to activate or deactivate one profanity. Falling unconscious will deactivate all profanities active. Activating a profanity while you are at your maximum capacity for profanities active will automatically deactivate a random profanity.

At 3rd level you can only benefit from one profanity at a time. At 5th level you can have two active, three at 12th, and four at 18th. The profanity effect will stay active until it is deactivated, or on the subsequent failed saving throw. While you have more than one profanity active, at the end of each of your turns, you must pass a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or one random profanity will deactivate.

• Grave Armor Gain +2 AC.

• Aura of the Damned Any enemy creature within 20 feet must make a constitution saving throw or be at disadvantage on attack rolls made against you. The DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

• Etherfloat You hover a few inches from the ground. You do not trigger pressure plates or the like; you can cross liquid surfaces if they are still; and you descend to the ground harmlessly as if under the effect of the Feather Fall spell.

• Deathly Glamour You can add your Charisma modifier to all of your saving throws.

• Pale Horse You increase your speed by 10 feet.

• Soulflay A creature you choose within 30 feet of you have disadvantage on a single saving throw of your choice.

• Terrorize If a creature moves to within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction and the creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you for 1 minute. The DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier. Whether successful or not, a creature cannot be targeted by this ability again until you finish a long rest.

• Unholy Vigor You gain temporary hit points equal to double your Fighter level. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you have completed a short rest.

Shadowstrike

At 3rd level, you gain command over dark shadows, willing them to attack on your behest. Immediately after you make an an attack roll and hit, you can choose a creature within 30 feet of the creature you targeted (including the targeted creature) to deal an extra 2d8 necrotic damage. The damage increases to 3d8 at 10th level and 4d8 at 18th level. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of this feature after a long rest.

Siphoning Strikes

At 7th level, you learn to control the balance of life and death within yourself. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier. These temporary hit points disappear if there are no visible enemies remaining. When these temporary hit points disappear, you also lose HP equal to your charisma modifier.

Shadow Meld

At 10th level, as an action you may teleport to a point you can see within 60 feet if you and that point are both in darkness. You may also take one other creature with you. If the creature is not willing, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to evade you, the DC being 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. Additionally, you gain resistance to necrotic damage while you have a profanity active, as your control over the shadows and dark forces becomes more potent.

Embrace the Dark

At 15th level you have come to know that even to the strongest, death is inevitable. If damage reduces you to 0 hit points and doesn't kill you out right, you may make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to half the damage done. On a success, you drop to 1 hit point instead. You may use this ability once per long rest.

Dark Master

At 18th level, you fully assume to the mantle of Dark Knight; you no longer require food, water, or sleep. You may still gain the benefits of a long rest if you spend 8 hours undertaking light activities such as reading or keeping watch. Additionally, when a friendly creature within 30 feet of you is knocked unconscious and not outright killed, it can choose to drop to 1 hit point and gain temporary hit points equal to your Fighter level + your constitution modifier (a minimum of 1) instead. A friendly creature must finish a long rest before they can benefit from this feature again.

Spells are always difficult to counter whether you can or cannot see them at normal. Spellbreakers excel at being effective mage killers, just do not push them too far about why they dislike so many magic users.

Xandelar

Null

When you take this archetype at 3rd level, you manifest a magical dead zone around yourself. While you are conscious, you resist damage from cantrips and 1st-level spells. This resistance increases to 2nd-level spells at 7th level, 3rd-level spells at 15th level, and 4th-level at 18th.

You also gain a new reaction. When a creature you can see casts a spell, you can use your reaction to lower the save DC for that spell by half your fighter level. This decrease applies to you and all creatures within 10 feet of you. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of 1) and recover all uses after a short rest.

Inquisitor

Starting at 7th level, you can hunt mages with unparalleled skill. You gain proficiency in Arcana, and have advantage on checks to identify spells or other magical effects. You can identify a spell being cast without using a reaction. You can also cast detect magic at will.

When you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with another creature outside of combat, you learn about its magical capabilities. You learn whether or not it can cast spells, along with two of the following:

• The creature's spell save DC
• Its current number of unexpended spell slots
• Its caster level, if it has one
• Its caster class, if it has one
• If the creature has the innate spellcasting trait, and how many spells it can cast each day
• Any two spells that it knows from a school of your choice
• 1 magical item that it has on its person

Magic Resistance

Starting at 10th level, you have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Weavecutter

At 15th level, your attacks breach magical resistances, wards, and effects. Your weapon attacks are considered magical and ignore any magical effects or magic items that increase a creature's Armor Class, such as +1 armor or the Shield spell. When you damage a spellcaster who is concentrating on a spell, the DC for their Constitution saving throw to retain concentration is 10 or the total damage you dealt, whichever is higher.

Impervious

At 18th level, spells and magical effects dissipate at your command. You can cast antimagic field once per long rest.

Way of Chains

A Chainweaver specializes in channeling their ki through chain and whip-like weapons in order to restrain and manipulate foes during combat. A Chainweaver is a master of finesse and skill, utilizing their weapons with the same level of efficiency and precision as their limbs. In combat, a truly skilled Chainweaver can prevent their foes from ever being able to move or strike.

I mean, it's flattering and all, but a real dragon will come out on top every day of the week.

Vroger

Dragonheart

When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can speak, read, and write Draconic. Choose one type of dragon from the table below for your dragonheart. Your dragonheart is used by features you gain later.

Dragon Style

At 3rd level, you weave dragon-like motions into your martial arts. You gain the following benefits:

• When you use Step of the Wind, you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed until the end of your turn.
• When you use Patient Defense, parts of your skin become covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. You gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) that last until the start of your next turn.

• When you make an attack granted by your Flurry of Blows, you can change the damage type of the unarmed strike to that of your dragonheart.
• As a reaction to taking damage of the same type as your dragonheart, you can spend 1 ki to cast absorb elements.

Breath Weapon

At 6th level, you learn to release a powerful breath attack. As an action, you can spend up to 3 ki points to exhale destructive energy. Your dragonheart determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation.

When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your dragonheart. A creature takes 2d6 damage per ki point spent on a failed saving throw, or half as much damage on a successful one. The size of the damage dice changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.

The maximum number of ki you can expend increase to 4 at 9th level, 5 at 13th level, and 6 at 17th level.

Frightful Presence

At 11th level, you gain the ability to mimic a dragon's terrifying roar. When you use Flurry of Blows, you can spend 1 ki point to make a draconic roar. Each creature of your choice within 30 feet of you that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened of you for 1 minute. The frightened creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to your roar for the next 24 hours.

Legendary Reaction

By 17th level, you have taken upon the aspect of a true dragon. You move with nearly unmatched grace and speed. When a creature other than you ends its turn, you can use your reaction to do one of the following:

• Detect. You make a Wisdom (Perception) check.
• Attack. You spend 1 ki point to make a melee weapon attack.
• Wing Attack. You spend 2 ki points to perform a wing attack. Each Large or smaller creatures within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take damage equal to your Martial Arts die + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice) and be knocked prone. You can then fly up to half of your walking speed.

Hysterical Strength

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you learn how to beat your opponents down with strength beyond normal means as part of your Flurry of Blows. Whenever you use Flurry of Blows, you gain a +1 bonus to damage to each hit. This bonus increases to +2 at 7th level, and +3 at 11th level.

Bolstering

At 6th level, your ki can bolster the might of yourself and your allies temporarily. You gain the following benefits.

• Might. Whenever an ally that you can see who is within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll and misses, you can expend 2 ki points to try and make the attack hit. Roll your martial arts die and treat the roll as an additional attack bonus for the targeted creature.

• Skill. You can expend 1 ki point to give either yourself or an ally temporary expertise in a skill with which you or your ally is already proficient in, respectively, for 1 minute. Once a creature has been targeted by this ability, they cannot gain this benefit again until you complete a long rest.

Uninhibited

At 11th level, you have trained your body and mind to be free of any restraints placed on you. At the end of a long rest, you can expend 10 ki points to gain proficiency in all skills. This effect lasts until the start of your next long rest.

Limit Break

Once this minute has passed, you take a level of exhaustion as your body registers the amount of stress you put it under.

• Furious Blows. The bonus damage you get from using your Hysterical Strength feature rises to be the sum of your Wisdom and Dexterity modifiers.

• Frenzy. You can use your Flurry of Blows twice with your bonus action, instead of once. The ki requirement is only 1 point.

Oath of Deliverance Spells

I have heard once of this supposedly great power in friendship one may have. While I have yet to see evidence, I suppose those who best emulate this are most bards, and this brand of paladin.

Xandelar

Tenets of Fellowship

The tenets of the Oath of Fellowship are usually governed by the group to which their oath holds meaning, but generally emphasize the following tenets.

Dependable. You serve your allies to the best of your ability in all things. Between the law and my friends, I would choose my friends.

Hard-Working. Belief and devotion only gets one so far in life, working hard and putting work to your words means more than lofty ideals in the end.

Friendly. You work best as the glue which binds everyone together, for you are everyone's friend.

Leader. A fellowship is born from a group, and each group needs a trustworthy companion who is not afraid to champion their goals. You are that person.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Turn the Hostile. You can use your Channel Divinity to utter soothing words that sap the desire to fight from your enemies. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each creature that you designate within 30 feet of you that can hear you and has dealt damage to you or an ally must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

If the creature's true form is concealed by an illusion, shapeshifting, or other effect, that form is revealed while it is turned.

Lifeguard. You can use your Channel Divinity to flood a creature with healing energy. As an action, you target a friendly creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. You can provide the target with any number of hit points used from your Lay on Hands pool at this range.

Aura of Defense

Starting at 7th level, the companionship you develop with your close allies forges invisible defenses, unbreakable by even the mightiest of foes. You gain a +2 bonus to your AC. In addition, if you aren't incapacitated, the AC of any ally who starts their turn within 5 feet of you increases by +2 until the end of that turn.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 10 feet.

Live to Serve

By 15th level, your ability to heal your allies grows to greater heights. Whenever you use your Lay on Hands feature on a creature other than yourself, you also benefit from the feature an equal measure.

For example, using this feature to heal a creature 20 hit points will also heal you 20 hit points. Neutralizing a poison or curing a disease for a creature also neutralizes a poison or cures a disease for you respectively, if you are suffering from either effect.

Xandelar once told me that revenants were people who come from the dead to fulfill a promise or to seek out revenge against those who have done them wrong. I just think the idea of that is . . . sad, that even in death one cannot find rest.

Vroger

Tenets of the Revenant

The tenets of the Oath of the Revenant vary from revenant to revenant, based primarily on fulfilling the goals of the one who is responsible for bringing them back to life. There are, though, four core principles that each revenant strives to uphold beyond anything else.

Risen to Serve. You have been given life and flesh once more to fulfill the goals of your master. There is no question as to if you can serve your purpose, you will.

Cherish the Living. To have life breathed into you once again is a precious thing, and it is your duty to safeguard the lives of those you serve.

No Rest. Duty comes before all worldly things. Hedonism serves only to tarnish your ability to achieve your goals.

Complete the Mission. Personal goals no longer have meaning, as they died with your true body long ago. The sole purpose of your revived existence is to see to completion the goals you were given, nothing else.

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Spirits of the Dead. As an action, you present a weapon which you are holding and speak a prayer requesting the aid of spirits from your past life using your Channel Divinity. For 1 minute, your melee weapon attacks deal extra necrotic damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1) as intangible spirits lash out and claw at your foes. If the weapon is not already magical, it becomes magical for the duration.

You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon, or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.

Grave Defense. You can use your Channel Divinity to bolster your defenses. As a bonus action, you gain temporary hit points equal to your paladin level.

Insatiable

Beginning at 7th level, your ability to strike down foes while they suffer from their wounds grows greater. When a hostile creature is at or below half of their maximum hit points, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature if it is within range.

Ghastly Constitution

Starting at 15th level, you are immune to being charmed, exhausted, and poisoned. Further, you don’t need to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep. Whenever you take a long rest, you instead stand vigilant, as still and cold as death itself. In this state you appear standing dead, but you remain conscious and you can see and hear as normal. The nature of your connection to the undead circumvent the mental and physical constraints on your body.

Dead One's Own

At 20th level, you can channel the aspect of the undead nature and carry a mantle of dark power. You can use your action to gain the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You have resistance to all damage.

• You regain 10 hit points at the start of each of your turns.

• When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use your bonus action to deal 20 necrotic or poison damage (your choice) to a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see and have not dealt damage to that turn.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Marksman Conclave

Marksmen diligently strive to embody the core principles of being a ranger in every way. Dedicated, studious, and oftentimes quite serious, marksmen venture ahead and situate themselves in the shadows before battles to take out necessary targets when the fighting starts.

Ranger of Dyoggar

Those that take the title of being a ranger of Dyoggar pledge themselves to not only a skillset, but a way of life. Rangers of Dyoggar follow a religious belief similar to druids, worshipping spirits of the land and gods of the earth while primarily following the teachings of the great ranger Dyoggar, whose soul they believe ascended to a level equal with the gods of the earth upon his death. Dyoggarean rangers worhsip the hunt but never take more than they absolutely need, practice reliability to their allies, and defend their own with their very lives.

Level Field

Additionally at 3rd level, you always stand and move on an equal field to your foes. You cannot have your speed magically reduced in any way, and you have advantage on saving throws against being knocked prone.

Bonus Proficiencies

You gain proficiency in martial ranged weapons.

Brazen Attack

Starting at 3rd level, if you make a successful ranged attack and the attack allowed you to add damage from your Sneak Attack, you may use your bonus action immediately after you attack to cause the projectile you used to hit another creature within the weapon's range and is in the projectile's path. You may make another attack roll and is considered a Sneak Attack if it hits.

I Have Ways...

Starting at 9th level, you always know what time it is currently and gain proficiency in Insight checks, adding double your proficiency bonus if you are already proficient in the skill. Additionally, if you are trying to get information out of a creature you can choose to roll a medicine check to attempt to torture the information out if them. After you roll your check they must make a Constitution or Charisma saving throw with the total of your medicine check as the DC.

Sadistic Precision

Starting at 13th level, a creature that takes damage from your Brazen Attack must make a wisdom saving throw, (DC = 8 + Dexterity modifier + proficiency bonus) being frightened until the start of your next turn on a failed save.

Ends Justify Means

Starting at 17th level, when you land a critical hit with your Brazen Attack, those creatures must make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + Dexterity modifier + proficiency bonus). On a failed save, those creatures are paralyzed until the end of your next turn, being poisoned for a minute on a success.

Demonic Bloodline

Your innate magic has been tainted by the influence of demons. Most often, sorcerers with this origin can trace the change in their powers back to demonic contact, that being a parent, a powerful demonic benefactor, or something similar.

Frozen Heart

Legends tell of an ancient queen, whose cruelty was so great that the gods turned her heart to ice. Her power, terrible and beautiful, has manifested within you. Perhaps you came into contact with a magical relic from the depp north. Or you could be the latest member of a great line of succession leading back to the queen herself.

The Aboleth

Aboleths are huge creatures from the Underdark, old enough that they remember the day gods were born. With each death of an Aboleth, they grow wiser as they are reborn in the Plane of Water, absorbing the memories of all their kin. Once, they ruled the Prime Material, enslaving all mortal races, and the mortals they share their power with are bade to make that a reality once again.

The patron of this warlock sect, one who goes by the title Luck, was once a mortal who walked the earth. Has a strong attachment to the one who granted them their power, a great old one.

Xandelar

Expanded Spell List

The Ghede Loa lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Dead Voices

Starting at 1st level, you understand the recently deceased.

You may touch a corpse that has died within 10 days. The spirit of the deceased returns and you may speak to it as if it were alive for 1 minute.

The spirit retains all the stats that it had in life, including languages, and it cannot interact with physical things.

You may not use this feature on the same creature twice.

Aid From The Grave

At 6th level, you gain the ability to call on the spirits to assist you or an ally.

When a creature drops below 0 hit points 60 feet in front of you that you can see, you may use your reaction to quickly request assistance from a friendly, helpful spirit. The spirit will possess a creature of your choosing for 1 hour as long as the CR of the crreature is less than or equal to your warlock level. During that hour, that spirit takes the stat block of the creature and makes it its own, but it knows common and can speak it or speak it telepathically up to 60 feet if the creature does not have a mouth.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Grave Walker

At 10th level, all your time with spirits has started affecting you physically.

Using a spell slot, you and whatever you're carrying take a ghostly form for 10 minutes. In this form, your walk speed is replaced with a fly speed and you are unable to interact with solid objects, floating 5 inches from the surface nearest to your feet and walking through walls.

You can talk to other creatures, although your voice comes out slightly muffled. You cannot manipulate objects, and any objects you are carrying or holding cannot be dropped, used, or otherwise interacted with.

Additionally, while in this form you have perfect knowledge of the amount of time passed.

Soul Binder

Starting at 14th level, you gain the ability to dominate and control the souls of others.

When a creature dies within sight of you, you can use your reaction to attempt to claim its soul. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, you claim the soul of the creature if it fails, otherwise the soul departs as normal. The CR of the creaure cannot exceed your warlock level. You can hold a number of souls equal to your Charisma modifier.

Vestige Warlock Quirks

Soul Binding

Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to strike a deal with a vestige by inscribing its seal. Immediately after a long rest you can use this feature to gain access to new skills and knowledge. Choose one proficiency (skill, tool, weapon, armor or shields) and one sorcerer or warlock spell of a level you can cast. You are considered proficient in your choice and the spell is considered a warlock spell you know. These benefits last until you use this feature again.

You may only choose proficiency with Heavy Armor if you are proficient with Medium Armor. At 6th level you can also choose an invocation, as long as you meet its prerequisites.

Practiced Sealcraft

At 6th level your skill with binding lets you craft a seal more quickly and precisely. When you finish a short rest you can choose to release and bind a new vestige, choosing a new spell, invocation and proficiency as if you had used the Soul Binding feature.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Soul Guardian

Beginning at 10th level the spirits you bind are more deeply entrenched in your soul. Whenever you use the Soul Binding feature you may chose one of the following benefits:

• Immunity to either the Frightened, Charmed or Poisoned condition.
• Resistance to any one damage type.

You retain this benefit for as long as you maintain the spell, invocation and proficiency from Soul Binding.

Forked Possession

Starting at 14th level you have learned to balance two spirits in harmony, binding two vestiges at the same time. When you use Soul Binding you may bind a second vestige (choosing an additional spell, invocation and proficiency per Soul Binding). You may also choose a second option granted by Soul Guardian. Practiced Sealcraft will still only allow one vestige to be released and bound, leaving one spell, invocation and proficiency unchanged.

Arcane Savant

Arcane Savants are the most academic of mages, focusing on understanding the underlying fundamentals of magic. Followers of this tradition are a bookish lot who see beauty and mystery in the application of magic. The results of a spell are less interesting to them than the process that creates it.

Mayo Jar

When you choose this school at 2nd level, you get the ability to summon a jar of Mayo. The jar is summoned as a bonus action and has to be a size that can fit in the hands of a medium sized creature, though the amount is always a number of ounces equal to 5 x your wizard level. Used ounces are returned at the end of a long rest.

The Mayo jar has an AC of 10 + half your wizard level (rounded up) and hit points equal to your wizard level.

Additionally, you can expend up to 5 ounces of Mayo to add a +1 bonus to your initiative roll, up to a maximum equal to your proficiency bonus.

Healing Mayo

At 2nd level, you can use an action expend up to 5 ounces of Mayo to heal yourself. You heal 1d4 hit points for every ounce you expend.

The max ounces you can expend go up to 10 at 6th level, 15 at 10th, and 20 at 14th.

Mayo Surge

When you reach 6th level, you learn that while helpful towards you, the Mayo is incredibly toxic to others.

When you cast a spell that does damage, you can use your bonus action to infuse the spell with the Mayo. In addition to whatever damage is done, you add 1d10 necrotic damage for every 5 ounces of Mayo that you expend.

A Perfect Recipe

At 10th level, you know how to perfectly infuse the Mayo with the weave to manipulate it.

When a spell is cast within your line of vision, you can use your reaction and 10 ounces of Mayo to do one of the following:

• Change the type of damage done
• Add or remove +/- 2 to the attack roll
• Add or remove +/- 2 to the saving throw of one creature
• Increase the area of effect of the spell by 10 feet
• Increase or reduce the damage done by 1d6
• Increase or reduce the hit points restored by 1d6

When casting your own spell, you can instead choose to use a bonus action to do one of the following:

• Add 1d4 (per 5 ounces) force damage to your spell
• Heal 1d4 (per 5 ounces) additional hit points to a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see
• Use 15 ounces to add another target to a single target spell.

Chronic Existence

Starting at 14th level, you have perfect knowledge of the Mayo and a strong desire to share it with the world.

You no longer have to use a bonus action to summon the Mayo, instead summoning it as a free action.

You can share the powers of the Mayo with anyone within sight of you. As long as you can see that creature and would allow them to use the Mayo. They can expend uses of the Mayo to use any of your 10th level abilities.

Additionally, any die involving your Mayo increases (1d4 to 1d6, 1d6 to 1d8, etc.)

I have always found that anyone and everyone is possible of doing great good in the world, regardless of what one's upbringing and others might have influenced upon them. It is a matter of the heart, in the end, influencing that which is done in good spirit.

Fierce Defenders

Apefolk protect their forest home and surrounding territory with a fanatical zeal. Other tribes need step carefully when venturing near their domain. Other races who enter their homelands are confronted, often aggressively, and are questioned on their intentions. Those who respect the gora and their lands are seen as allies and treated with kindness, or at least basic hospitality.

A Love of Nature

The apefolk worship the spirit of nature on a very primitive level, but not any deity in particular. They refer to nature as “Mag mag”, the gora equivalent of mother earth. The druids are their closest thing to priests, and are central to the healing and divine contentment of the apefolk. The apefolk will protect their lands no matter the cost.

Apefolk Names

Apefolk names are often simple, one- to two-syllable noises that are assigned to an Apefolk when they come of age. Usually, this name is connected to the noise the Apefolk in question makes most relative to others.

Male Names: Oog, Rah, Pohk, Mak

Female Names: Sim, Ni, Ara, Upa

Energetic defenders of the territories in forests and jungles.

• Unimpeded. You ignore difficult terrain when you take a Dash action.

• Subrace. Among the apefolk, there are three variations that represent an evolutionary split. These variations help the apefolk be more resilient and able as they work together as a community. Choose one of these subraces.

Foul Aristocracy

Bullywugs consider themselves the right and proper rulers of the swamps. They follow an etiquette of sorts when dealing with outsiders and each other, subject to the whims and fancies of their leader—a self-styled lord of the muck. Bullywugs introduce themselves with grand-sounding titles, make great shows of bowing and debasing themselves before their superiors, and endlessly vie to win their superiors' favor. A bullywug has two ways to advance among its kind: It can either murder its rivals, though it must take pains to keep its criminal deeds secret, or it can find a treasure or magic item and present it as tribute or a token of obeisance to its liege. A bullywug that murders its rivals without cunning is likely to be executed, so it's more common for bullywugs to stage raids against caravans and settlements, with the goal of securing precious baubles to impress their lords and win their good graces. Invariably, such fine goods are reduced to filthy tatters through abuse and neglect. Once a gift loses its sheen, a bullywug lord invariably demands that its subjects bring it more treasure as tribute.

Unruly Diplomacy

Bullywugs love nothing more than lording over those who trespass on their territories. Their warriors attempt to capture intruders rather than simply slaying them.

Captives are dragged before the king or queen-a bullywug of unusually large size- and forced to beg for mercy. Bribes, treasure, and flattery can trick the bullywug ruler into letting its captives go, but not before it tries to impress its "guests" with the majesty of its treasure and its realm. Struck with a deep inferiority complex, bullywug lords fancy themselves as kings and queens, but desperately crave the fear and respect of outsiders.

Amphibian Allies

Bullywugs speak a language that allows them to communicate over large areas by croaking like frogs. News of intruders or other events in the swamp spread within minutes across this crude communication system.

Simple concepts in the language are understandable to frogs and toads. Bullywugs use this capability to form strong bonds with giant frogs, which they train as guardians and hunters. Larger specimens are sometimes used as mounts as well. The frogs' ability to swallow creatures whole provides a bullywug hunting band an easy means of carrying prey back to their villages.

Bullywug Names

Bullywug names often comprise guttural croaking sounds and tend to include numerous letters and syllables so as to be more impressive-sounding to other bullywugs.

Male Names: Grugenos, Horglash, Kermshugg, Buhmb, Quaffodun, Touddun, Pubbe, Haari

Female Names: Begritha, Gertrudd, Mershent, Swumpiff, Quagmire

• Standing Leap. Your base long jump is up to 20 feet and your base high jump is up to 10 feet, with or without a running start.
• Languages. You can read, write, and speak both Common and Bullywug.

Reclusive Race

Camelfolk society is based on both compassion and resilience. Despite their reclusive nature, they have been known to help those who have fallen unconscious in the deserts, usually leaving them outside villages in the desert for others to take care of or leaving them by an oasis, usually, the furthest away possible from the one where they live. They rarely ever leave the desert unless they are into exotic merchandise.

The population in their cities is homogenously made out of camelfolk: Few creatures of other races get into these cities and even fewer can live there.

Although there are many camelfolk cities, all of them with their own oasis, they are completely autonomous and rarely communicate with each other unless they are allied and getting attacked or sickness is spreading. Each city's government is feudal, with each city having its own king and territory, and most of the common folk being farmers or merchants. Although they have a compassionate heart, when magic is involved they will show no mercy. Magicians are heavily regulated and must report directly to the king or queen. The slightest suspicion on their work is enough for the magician to get either exiled or executed.

A Family of Trade

The camelfolk family unit is as changing as the sands: Weddings are exceptionally rare, stable partners are uncommon and it is not rare for a female or male to have multiple partners and families, each knowing each other. The exception of this is the royal family, which is monogamic and can only marry other royal members. These marriages are mainly for public relations and to close deals or alliances with other cities.

As they are natural merchants, their trade is always exotic, although rarely magical: perfumes, fine weaponry and armors, specialized (and usually expensive) weaponry for races that can't use the normal ones like themselves, luxurious clothes, dried fruits, art, jewelry, and other such things. They may sell magic objects, but persuading them into telling if they have them is almost impossible. They may buy magic objects, but only if the object is rare or if the price is exceptionally low.

Camelfolk Names

Camelfolk are typically named after ancient desert rulers, although females may be named after elements of the desert or simply fruits. Other races names are appropriate for families that have been merchants most of their life.

Male Names: Grugenos, Horglash, Kermshugg, Buhmb, Quaffodun, Touddun, Pubbe, Haari

Female Names: Begritha, Gertrudd, Mershent, Swumpiff

Camelfolk Traits

A reclusive race of bipedal camels.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.
• Age. Camelfolk are considered mature at 5 years old and most live up to 50 years. reaching up to 80 years old has been reported, but extremely rare.
• Alignment. They are merchants that don't want any trouble, so they are normally lawful neutral. Variations are common.
• Size. Your size can range from 7 to 9 feet tall while weighing more than 350 pounds. Your size is Medium.
• Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
• Darkvision. Acclimated to travel in the desert days and nights, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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 color in darkness, only shades of gray.
• Beastial origins. Your creature type is beast.
• Food Storage. You are able to store fat into your humps to keep yourself from suffering fatigue from not eating or drinking. You can go a number of days without food equal to your Constitution score and can survive without water for half as long.
• Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push or drag.
• Desertborn. You are proficient in the Survival skill and you are acclimated to extreme heat, as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
• Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.

Atypical Form

Farspawn have dissociative morphologies culled from the self-image of living things– from pond-life to animals and humans. Adventuring farspawn are vaguely humanoid but may have multiple eyes, eyestalks, pseudopods, tentacles, chitin, mandibles and other photobiology. Their flesh might resemble the stuff of the material plane, but when wounded they might bleed fluid, color, sound, or an ooze of microorganisms.

Farspawn have no discernible genders. Those that are able to reproduce might do so by asexual budding or sporing, by impregnating other living creatures, or through other incomprehensible means.

Disconnected

Creatures tainted and born by the far realm are often seen as being chaotic, or evil. The truth is that they are largely uncaring, or oblivious to the nature of life on the material plane. Adventuring farspawns are more coherent in their interactions and are able to forge relationships with sentient creatures, but are usually Unaligned. Farspawn are often kept to the fringes of history, appearing in texts and recountings as monsters infiltrating societies for their own nefarious means... though more often than not, they were simply hated for their horrific appearances and alien existence.

Their strange appearance always alienates them and often frightens communities into shunning them. Some farspawn have a strange, insidious force of personality that at its strongest can dominate groups of humanoids, with cults forming around them.

Whilst a farspawn's goals are often incomprehensible, alliances can be made where those goals coincide with those of other races.

Self Contained

Most Geitlan stay within their small communities, becoming farmers, weavers, or hunters. Occasionally, however, there comes one who longs for more. Geitlan make strong adventurers, taking advantage of their natural hardiness and force of will. It can be difficult to track a collective history of the Geitlan, as they have been separated into nomadic groups as long as anyone can remember. Most simply resort to tracking the accomplishments of well known Geitlan and mentioning their home tribe in passing. One such member is Deimos, a righteous warrior of the God Kord. He led an incredibly daring and surprisingly successful assault against the legions of the Abyss, saving the city he had called home for the last 30 years. He later became King of said city, ushering in a time of peace and prosperity.

Hardy Families

A hardy race, Geitlan take pride in their autonomy and close-knit communities. These communities, however, are small and nomadic in nature. They usually build temporary shacks on remote mountainsides, moving on when its scarce resources are depleted. Because of this many remote mountainsides have large random patches of vegetables that have adapted to thrive in the cold, descendants of the crops Geitlan have planted in years past.

Geitlan Names

Geitlan language uses primarily one-syllable words, and they will choose an object or idea to name their children after. Once their children reach adulthood they are given a new name that reflects a physical trait or deed. These names are subject to change even further over time if a new accomplishment or trait overshadows the previous one.

Young Names: Sark (Stone), Lesk (Lightning), Bronn (Tree), Ferr (Flower), Cohl (Winter)

Old Names: Enkla (Big-Horn), Kerrm (Leader or Elder), Kainber (Furious Mage), Deimos (God Sent)

• Age. Geitlan mature rather quickly, reaching adulthood at 13 years. They live slightly shorter lives than humans, to around 70 years old.

• Languages. You can read and write Common and one other language of your choice.

Unnerving Creatures

With the encroaching power of the Far Realm in the Feywild, the im'ten were created almost as an allergic reaction of these two repellent forces mixing. They are aberrations, and rightly so, for their presence in the woods is unsettling, and they are known to be chaotic and vile towards any who approach their habitat. It has been observed that they are perhaps guardians of forests they inhabit, though in the most horrific of ways. They have a history of having lured children away, murdered lost adventurers in their midst, and scaring the pants off people in general by making creepy noises at night. Some believed for a while that they were in fact some kind of wendigo. But what disproves this is that im'ten rarely eat their prey, and instead have a caprice mixed with deadly instinct rather than outright primal savagery. It has been said that those who look under an im'ten's mask will see nothing but the void which devours their consciousness. But even im'ten don't know and don't look. Perhaps it is their true face.

Odd Habits

The im'ten are believed to be one of a small group of creatures of similar fey and aberrant origin, like the ik'tar, with whom they commonly commune. They speak a similar language, which is described to be a mix of Deep Speech and Sylvan. While they can understand Common, they like to confuse others by speaking in another tongue. Such is the whimsy of a fey creature. Im'ten in general like to be mysterious, telling half-truths and half-lies. To them, there is little to life but to have fun and enjoy yourself to the most bacchanal of extents. To them, this means sometimes making a living hell for other beings by robbing them of sleep or making jokes at the expense of others. Im'ten fear little, not even death, and are commonly nihilistic.

Their society is composed of small tribes primarily based in forests away from civilizations like the elves. They prefer to have a small gathering on some woods by the side of the road, where they can have their fun with travelers at their leisure. Their tribes are very anarchic, with little hierarchy. In general, they treat each other almost with the same contempt as other races, but stay together nonetheless because they grudgingly accept that tribalism has its uses. In their little groups, they like to make-believe there is a leader and hold jousting tournaments with wits rather than weapons. The laughter in these meetings is often mistaken to be the voice of a hag.

Im'ten Names

Im'ten names are only three letters long. This is often a delight among themselves since most outsiders would not be able to remember so many monosyllabic names and assign them appropriately to the right members this masked race. Even more confusing is that the names lack gender specification.

Names: Lef, Sno, Ert, Fer

Im'ten Traits

Oddities formed of alien influence on fey.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1.
• Age. They have just under the normal longevity of fey, living to about 500 years.
• Alignment. Im'ten are pretty much chaotic all the time, and their indifferent attitude makes many of them evil and self-invested.
• Size. Strangely, all im'ten share roughly the same weight despite whatever form they mimic. Your size is Medium.
• Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
• Darkvision. 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 color in darkness, only shades of gray.
• Fey Ancestry. You have advantage in saving throws against being charmed. Magic cannot put you to sleep.
• Aberrant Fey. Your creature type is fey and aberration. Your home plane is the Feywilds.
• Animal Mimic. You have the same walking speed when walking on all fours or on two legs. While on all fours, creatures over 30 feet away from you have disadvantage on checks to identify your racial identity.
• Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, Deep Speech, and Sylvan.
• Subrace. Choose from the deer, bear or bobcat subrace.

Experimental Bloodline

Ratfolk are not a natural occurrence to the world at large, rather the result of various tests done by the once familiar, now dark mage, progenitor rat Einstein on his rat bretheren. Infused with the magical power of a deceased worldbuilder, ratfolk come in all shapes and sizes, of varying physical and magical might. A constant for most ratfolk is the unpleasant stench that tends to follow them, a result of being hand crafted by a wielder of the Book of Vile Darkness.

Vile Creatures

Much like their regular rat predecessors, ratfolk are often not taken kindly by those who live on the surface. Similarly, most all ratfolk hold a disdain for those creatures who live under the sun, and harbor a desire to subjugate and control the overworld, to hold power over their tormentors once and for all.

Ratfolk Names

Ratfolk are given a name at their creation, a title designating what makes them unique, powerful, greater. That is, a name typically represents what role in ratfolk society one will play. Names such as Fluffy or Big are not mocking but signs of great power, titles that demand respect from other ratfolk. One rule above all, though, is that no ratfolk shall ever take the name of the progenitor rat Einstein, lest they wish to incur his eternal wrath.

Names: Snowball, Fluffy, Big, Oppenheimer, Snitch, Scamp, Rascal, Reginald, Ratthew, Sunshine, Snookums, Peanut, Whiskers, Sir Cornelius von Maximus, Tim

Ratfolk Traits

The heritage you acquire, at birth or creation, is always one shared by the rats of society, only improved.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution, Intelligence, and Wisdom scores all increase by 1.
• Age. All ratfolk are the byproduct of experimentation, and as a result, they can have wildly different lifespans. A "typical" ratfolk reaches adulthood by age 5 and lives up to 20 years, although some ratfolk have been known to live far longer than this limit.
• Alignment. Ratfolk are typically chaotic evil, as they care only to spread filth and disease wherever they may go, although all ratfolk respect and obey the innate heirarchy of their dark order. It is rumored that some ratfolk have been able to break away from these dark desires within their veins and have turned to good, but most ratfolk would claim that those are only rumors.
• Size. Most ratfolk have been enhanced to have a larger size than typical. While some may be the size or regular rats or vastly taller, most ratfolk stand between 2-4 feet tall. Your size is small.
• Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet.
• Darkvision. Suited to a life of darkness, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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 color in darkness, only shades of gray.
• Bite. Your sharp teeth are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you can deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
• Tail. You can grasp things with your tail. It has a reach of 5 ft, it can lift a number of pounds equal to 3 times your strength score. You can use it to do simple tasks, grapple, and attack with a weapon possessing the light property. It cannot be used to perform somatic components of spells.
• Keen Smell. Thanks to your sensitive snout, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception), Wisdom (Survival), and Intelligence (Investigation) checks that involve smell.
• Sneaky Bastard. You have proficiency in Dexterity (Stealth) checks due to your darkened fur and short size.
• Trash Talk. Once only a pest yourself, you have the ability to speak with other pests in a language only known by you. You can talk to and understand rats and other urban mammals/rodents/vermin.
• Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Undercommon.

CHAPTER 3 | CHARACTER OPTIONS

Feature: Deja Vu

You suddenly remember a huge amount of detail about a person, place or thing that you are currently looking at or interacting with without knowing why. Maybe a certain phrase or image sets you off, but you suddenly know all about this thing like you've been familiar with it for years. Any Insight, Investigation or History checks you make relating to this thing are done with advantage. You can use this feature three times per campaign and/or per character.

Alternate Feature: "Oh, I know that!"

Despite your amnesia, you clearly remember one specific field of knowledge, lore, or something else. Choose the field you want your character to know and write it down on your character sheet. If you fail your History roll regarding that field of knowledge, you can consult for the answer regardless unless it is otherwise impossible to know about it (i.e. it's unknown)

Quirks and Impulses

Although you have no memory, you are not a blank slate. Certain mannerisms and behaviours persist, even though you don't remember their point of origin.

Suggested Characteristics

For all that you try, you seem to not remember who you once were. The question is, who are you now?

We don't partake of alcoholic beverages on most days in the order. It's a vice that distracts one from their purpose. We do drink on special holidays, though, and boy do I have a story that you would not believe about what Torm, Tyr, Xandelar, and I did once when we were drunk. It all started . . .

Feature: Lasting Recognition

Serving in a war or battle at all earns you some presence. While you are not highly ranked or decorated, you made some connections in the military. Soldiers loyal to your former military organization still recognize your service and show you preference over those who did not serve. Other conscripts that served like you are also friendly to you and your allies, perhaps willing to provide you with some emergency supplies and aid, so long as it does not put them in immediate danger.

Suggested Characteristics

This was never my fight...

History of Service

Although open to all ways of life, a courtesan has a story behind them, that, for the most part, discerns their own ways of living.

Feature: Past Influence

Due to your history of work, you can obtain free lodging in brothels or inns where you have conducted business in the past. The owners of these establishments can recommend other locations where you may be able to obtain discounted lodging by dropping their name or offering your services during your stay. If you encounter past clients, you may be able to obtain resources or other aid from them. Depending on your relationship with any given client, this may be through blackmail or through seduction.

Suggested Characteristics

The life you have lived does not define who you are and what you can do, but you nevertheless have picked up useful skills from the aspects of your trade.

Diplomatic Rank

Diplomats have different specializations, and traits are often also present in their adventuring careers. What did you do during your time as a diplomat?

Origin

You've had to have been exiled from somewhere. Consider what your home was like and what it meant to you. You may roll on the following table to find your home setting, or simply choose one that fits your character.

Feature: Echoes of the Past

You may have been forced to leave your previous life, but it hasn't left you. You have knowledge about the ways people treat one another and therefore have been gifted with skills revolving around a quick-witted nature. Odds are you can talk someone into giving you a hot meal for the evening or perhaps even a warm bed.

Suggested Characteristics

Some exiles take time to adjust to their new life, others adapt fairly quickly and try to drown out their memories of home. Exiles may be slow to trust others, but they are eager to make allies. Some exiles seek only to return home no matter the cost. Are you one of them?

Specialization

You always made it better with a certain type of show. Were you a great actor, did your music enchanted the entire family or had your agile hands made the best use of magic tricks?

Feature: The whole world is a stage

Due to your hard working past, you can always find lodging and food for a performance. You're an expert at finding opportunities to do your show, even if they're not so obvious at a first place. People will tip you for your performance based on how good it is. These people also tend not to suspect much from a simple fool, allowing some foul play from you to go unnoticed.

Alternate Feature: Noble Company

Since you've worked with people of the highest classes for a great time of your life, you know how to impress and relate to them. They will generally be more open to your presence. Nobles tend to protect their jesters.

Suggested Characteristics

Not everyone knows how to be a good comedian. It requires time and effort to refine your art. Jesters tend to be kind of crazier than normal people even when not working.

Specialization

Lore Keepers are somewhere between Sages, Anthropologists, Entertainers, and Researchers for where they get their knowledge, but as opposed to just discovering or showing their stories, they are universally intent on collecting and retaining histories and legends, to keep them safe and pass them on to others.

Choose one or more specializations, or roll on the table, to decide which are the primary sources of the knowledge you hold:

Feature: Open Ear

Everywhere you go, as long as there is society you can find someone to share it with you. People are friendlier to you if you show them respect to their traditions, and you can share stories with them to discover more than they may have been willing to share initially. You are better able to find people to share this knowledge with you, and in the absence of people to tell it to you, you are better able to find hidden stores of this knowledge.

Suggested Characteristics

You have spent years hearing and collecting stories from a variety of sources. Histories and lore, myths and legends from your own culture and the cultures of others have been your greatest collections throughout the years. Dedicated to recording and preserving history, your efforts have made you a veritable library of information, and someone who will go to great lengths to discover all the more stories.

Many Lore Keepers or good or neutral, intent on preserving what needs to be known to future generations. However, there are those that see other, less moral uses for this information.

I have been known to gift some of my scales to worthy souls on occasion to fashion into armor pieces. I will admit, the gold color really fits the color scheme that the Order was going for.

Basic Rules

If a creature dies naturally or its body was found hours or days after death, it is up to the DM what items remain. Some items may have been already stolen, not remain on the creature after death, or have rotted beyond use.

If the players were fighting the creature and killed it in combat, they must make the appropriate check in order to claim the loot.

• Beast/Dragon/Monstrosity/Plant: Nature check
• Giant/Humanoid: Survival check
• Celestial/Fey/Fiend/Undead: Religion check
• Aberration/Construct/Elemental/Ooze: Arcana check

This represents the type of knowledge required to successfully identify the valuable loot on the body.
