## Crownsguard

Sprinting nonstop through the forest, each member of your group emerge from the tree line to see the upcoming battle ahead.  Monsters and demonic beasts of various sizes lie before you.  Beyond what was expected of a simple mortal could handle.

But... if you didn't fight, all would be lost.  And you couldn't let that happen.  Reaching a hand out, a weapon materialized out of the void.  With a full body swing, the weapon is launched toward the first monster.  Weapon digging deep into the head, you disappear from your spot and reappear pulling the weapon upward.

The battle has begun.

### Masters of teamwork

The military force of the crown city of Insomnia. It is a royal guard tasked with the protection of the royal family of Lucis, the citadel, and the citizens.

They are elite soldiers gifted with the power of the crystal and the king made up of the citizens of Lucis from Insomnia and the surrounding cities.

Members of the crownsguard excel at teamwork, creating opportunities for others and supporting their strengths.  A few members is all that is needed to make up a unit.  
### Light in the darkness
When darkness fell upon the world, members of the crownsguard gathered together to work against the long night.  After the fall of Insomnia, the glaives gathered components to bring artificial light to the people, until the King of Light came to pass.  The crownsguard will fight for a brighter tomorrow.

### Creating a Crownsguard

When creating a Crownsguard, consider what you are protecting.  Consider where you are getting your power from and how you are connected to the source.  It may be from your innate powers, or your loyalty to royalty or a higher calling.  It may be provided by a god or crystal.  Wherever it comes from, you hope to use it to help those around you, as you fight for or against your destiny.

#### Quick Build

You can make a crownsguard quickly by following these suggestions.  First, make Charisma your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity.  Second, choose the Noble Background.

A crownsguard can manifest items from their armory.  Over the course of 1 hour, you can bond a weapon or shield as Gear to you.  You can dismiss Gear at will, shunting it into an extradimensional space.  You can summon it to your hand as a bonus action.  You can bond up to a number of Gear equal to half your charisma modifier (Minimum 1).  If you spend 1 MP, you can summon a Gear at will.  Each Gear must be a different type of item or a Magic item.

You may throw any weapon in your possession as if it has the thrown property.  The Crownsguard table shows how far you can throw your weapon.  Weapons with the light or thrown property doubles the throw range, and weapons with the heavy property have half the throw range.

All Gear without two-handed or heavy may use your dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls.  You can't use versatile this way unless you have at least 10 strength.

Two weapons with the light attribute may be treated as 1 Gear.

When you take a long rest, you can choose one of the Crownsguard spells you know and replace it with another spell from your Crownsguard spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

### Optional Rule: Multiclassing
If your group uses the optional rule on multiclassing in the Player's Handbook, here's what you need to know if you choose Crownsguard as one of your classes.

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

**Proficiencies Gained.** If Crownsguard isn't your initial class, here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level of Crownsguard: light armor, shields, simple weapons, 1 martial weapon.

### Feats

#### Magical Adept
You are innately talented at using the Lucii's families magic.  Players may take this feat multiple times.

- You gain 2 Magic Points to spend on abilities (these points are added to any magic points you have from another source). You regain all spent Magic Points when you finish a long rest.
- You learn the Crownsguard Enhance ability listed under Magical Reservoir.  If you have this feature, you may pick an additional feature as seen below, but it cannot be the same feature.  
- You learn 1 feature of the Crownsguard Class from the following: Warp, Link Strike, 2 Techniques, or Limited Magic.

If you learn Limited Magic, you learn one cantrip and one 1st-level spell from the crownsguard spell list.

You can cast the 1st-level spell at it's lowest level once per long rest.

You may choose your spellcasting ability for this spell from Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma.

## Carbuncle

This familiar is available to the Chosen of the Lucii.  Carbuncle is a magical creature with healing powers that helps Noctis Lucis Caelum in Final Fantasy XV.  Carbuncle leads young Noctis through his dreamscape.  It is a Messenger, a magical creature sent by the gods.  Though the other known Messengers help the Oracle and make the gods' will known to mankind, Carbuncle is a guardian being to Noctis.

With the DM's permission, a person who casts the find familiar spell can choose to conjure a carbuncle instead of a normal familiar.  The DM may choose to take control of this familiar at any time, but must maintain the familiar's personality and alignment.  Carbuncle does not have to follow the summoner's orders as it is only summoned in its base form.  When summoned as a familiar, Carbuncle should lose Cure Wounds for gameplay purposes.

### Chocobo
The chocobo can be summoned by anyone who can cast *Find Steed*.  A chocobo costs 400 GP and can carry 540 lbs.

Chocobos are tall, friendly avians that roam wild but can be tamed and ridden. Wild chocobos once trotted freely through the forests of Duscae, but the recent influx of ferocious beasts has sent the birds running in fear and the population dwindled.  They can often be heard saying "Kweh!"  Chocobos come in a variety of colors with the most common being Yellow.  For rarer breeds, please see Wonderful Chocobo.

### Wonderful Chocobo
The wonderful chocobo can be summoned by anyone who can cast *Find Greater Steed*.  A wonderful Chocobo can carry 540 lbs.  These variants are very rare and must be acquired through other means.  Many breeders spend their careers trying to raise a rare breed of wonderful chocobo.

Rarer breeds of chocobos can be summoned.  If you cast *Find Greater Steed* daily for a week, you may summon a River or Mountain chocobo instead.  If you use *Find Greater Steed* daily for a month, you may summon a Mountain-and-River or Fury chocobo instead.  If you use *Find Greater Steed* daily for two months, you may summon an Ocean Chocobo instead.  If you use *Find Greater Steed* daily for three months, you may summon a Sky Chocobo instead.
