Chapter 1: Rule Changes

Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition has rules that are light-weight enough to encompass many different settings and storylines. Some of these rules, however, need some re-imagining to better fit with Final Fantasy. Whether to better match the classic game systems and their flavor, or simply to better aid the following character options, these rules are designed to bring your D&D gameplay more in-line with the Final Fantasy experience.

Chapter 2: Races

The worlds of Final Fantasy are teeming with life! While humans are the most common, intelligent creatures of many different species can often be found, and playable characters often range across these peoples. When creating a character using this compendium, it is recommended to select from the races found in this chapter. However, these race options, races from the Player's Handbook & official materials, and races created with the Custom Lineages & Customizing Your Origin options in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything may all adventure together in the same party without trouble.

If you create a character using a race option presented here, the following additional traits should be applied during character creation:

Human

Ancient

Au Ra

This is some paragraph explaining the basis for this race and what their people are typically like. Go into their culture and where they're found. Explain which games they're from, too. Whatever.

Chapter 3: Classes

One of the classic recurring elements in many Final Fantasy games is the Job system: a gameplay system where characters have a unique appearance and set of abilities depending on what job they have equipped. Even games without the Job system are likely to have the themes of different jobs woven into their characters. For example, Yang from FFIV is a monk in occupation, and his appearance and abilities (such as Kick and Focus) are often seen as traits of monks in the Job system.

As may already be obvious, jobs in Final Fantasy are an easy parallel to the classes of Dungeons & Dragons. In this chapter, classes based on classic Final Fantasy job archetypes are presented.

The classes of this chapter can be mixed with those of vanilla 5th edition, but you will quickly notice that there is significant overlap in skills and abilities. For example, a Final Fantasy thief and a Dungeons & Dragons rogue will play very similarly as the former is largely based on the latter. For an optimal experience, all player characters in a single campaign together should use these Final Fantasy classes.

Bard

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

This is a general statement where I talk about all black mages and like their elemental prowess and ability to summon great spells that do crazy damage. Whether it's something in-born into them, or it's due to tremendous arcane study, or it's the gift of a greater being, their magical prowess is more akin to a force of nature than mere parlor tricks.

Class Features

As a bard, you gain the following class features.

Bardsong: Minuet

You know the Minuet, a magical song that emboldens your allies' attacks. The first time on their turn any creature empowered by this Bardsong (a) hits with a weapon attack or cantrip, or (b) has a target of a cantrip or the Requiem feature fail their saving throw, the damage taken by one target is increased by 2. This damage bonus increases to 3 at 5th level, and it increases to 4 at 9th level.

Bardsong: Rime

You know the Rime, a magical song that emboldens your allies' resilience. Any creature empowered by this Bardsong benefits from a +3 bonus to saving throws.

Requiem

You can play a dour tune infused with negative energy. As an action, you may target a creature within 60 feet of you. You must use a musical instrument you are proficient with and holding with two hands as a focus to cast your magical assault. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Bard save DC or else take 2d8 psychic damage.

At 5th level, you may choose up to 2 targets instead of 1, but you do not deal damage the same way. Instead, you also have a dice pool of 4d8. When you choose your target(s), you split up your dice pool any way you like between the targets. Each target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Bard save DC or else take an amount of psychic damage equal to the dice you assigned to it. You may target the same creature multiple times, but each time you target it counts against your maximum number of targets for that attack. All targets and the number of dice assigned to each must be declared at the start of the attack.

At 11th level, your maximum number of targets increases to 3, and your dice pool becomes 6d8. At 17th level, your maximum number of targets increases to 4, and your dice pool becomes 8d8.

Bardsong: Paeon

Beginning at 2nd level, you know the Paeon, a magical song that emboldens your allies' health. Any creature empowered by this Bardsong may use their bonus action on their turn or their reaction at the end of their turn to gain a number of temporary hit points equal to half your Bard level (rounded up) to a maximum of 5 temporary hit points.

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.

Discord

Starting at 5th level, when a target of one of your spells fails its saving throw against that spell, you may impose one of the following negative effects upon it:

• The target can't take reactions until the start of your next turn.
• The target can't take bonus actions until the start of your next turn.
• The target's speed is reduced to 10ft until the start of your next turn.

Dynamic Rift

At 6th level, you can customize the size and shape of your Instrumental Rift zone to be one of the following: Box: Length and width can be anywhere from 5ft to 15ft (they do not have to be the same measurement). The box is 5ft tall. Cylinder: Radius can be 2.5ft to 10ft. The cylinder is 5ft tall. Sphere: Radius of 5ft.

Bardsong: Ballad

At 7th level, you know the Ballad, a magical song that emboldens your allies against impairment. Any creature empowered by this Bardsong is immune to the frightened, charmed, and blinded conditions. If they are already under an effect causing one or more of these conditions when they begin being empowered by this Bardsong, and the effect placing the condition upon them allows them to make a saving throw at the end of their turn to remove it, they may use their reaction to immediately make such a saving throw to attempt to remove the effect. Any saving throws to remove these conditions is made with advantage while under the effect of this Bardsong.

Bardsong: Elegy

When you reach 9th level, you know the Elegy, a magical song that emboldens your allies' magical defenses. Any creature empowered by this Bardsong has resistance to damage from spells.

Song of Endurance

Beginning at 10th level, you learn to strengthen your allies' resolve by casually performing during your down time. If you spend 15 minutes playing an instrument you are proficient with during a short or long rest, at the end of the rest, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your Bard level plus your Charisma modifier. Up to 5 creatures of your choice who heard your short performance are magically infused with extra vitality, as well, each gaining a number of temporary hit points equal to half your Bard level (rounded down) plus your Charisma modifier.

Power Chords

Starting at 11th level, you learn the Power Chord ability of your choice. You learn another at 13th level, and the final one at 15th level. You can use each Power Chord ability you know one time, and you regain any expended uses of them when you finish a long rest.

Empowered Requiem. You may choose up to 3 creatures you can see within 60 feet of you at whom you project your amped up wrath. Each creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, they take 8d8 psychic damage. On a success, they take half as much damage.

Empowered Paeon. A burst of heightened positive vibrations emanates from you. Choose up to 5 creatures you can see within 45 feet of you. Each creature heals 6d6 hit points.

Empowered Discord. Choose one creature you can see within 90 feet of you to target with your enchanted harmonies. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or else it becomes paralyzed for one minute. At the end of each of its turns, a creature paralyzed in this way can make another Wisdom saving throw, and the spell ends early on a success.

Hymnus

At 14th level, you master a song that holds sway over the spirits of the recently fallen. You can spend an hour playing a hauntingly beautiful melody during which you cast the Life spell. The song satisfies the verbal and somatic components of the spell, and casting it costs you no Mana Points, but you must still produce the material component (a diamond worth at least 1,000gp, which the spell consumes). Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Refrain

When you reach 18th level, your capacity for playing heightened songs is expanded. After you finish a short rest, you may regain one use of one of your expended Power Chord abilities.

Finale

At 20th level, you can tap into your very soul to overcharge your Bardsong with incredible magical energies. As a bonus action, you activate a special version of your Bardsong. Its range increases to 25 feet, and it lasts for up to one minute. While you must still concentrate on singing the song, you cannot have your concentration interrupted by taking damage. The song grants those empowered by it all of the following effects:

• The first time on their turn the creature (a) hits with a weapon attack or cantrip, or (b) has a target of a cantrip or the Requiem feature fails their saving throw, the damage taken by one target is increased by 10.
• The creature benefits from a +5 bonus to saving throws.
• The creature may use their bonus action on their turn or their reaction at the end of their turn to gain 10 temporary hit points.
• The creature is immune to the frightened, charmed, and blinded conditions. If they are already under an effect causing one or more of these conditions when they begin being empowered by this Bardsong, the effect causing the condition ends.
• The creature has resistance to damage from spells.

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

Black Mage

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

This is a general statement where I talk about all black mages and like their elemental prowess and ability to summon great spells that do crazy damage. Whether it's something in-born into them, or it's due to tremendous arcane study, or it's the gift of a greater being, their magical prowess is more akin to a force of nature than mere parlor tricks.

Class Features

As a black mage, you gain the following class features.

Mana Points

The Black Mage table shows how many mana points you have to cast your black mage spells. To cast one of these black mage spells, you must expend the mana point cost of the spell. You regain all expended mana points when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known that Cost Mana Points

You know four spells of your choice from your spell lists that each cost 10 MP.

The Spells Known column of the Black Mage table shows when you learn more spells from your spell lists of your choice. Each of these spells must have a mana point cost greater than 0 and at or below the value in the Max Spell MP column of the Black Mage table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell that costs 15 MP or less.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose up to two of the black mage spells you know and replace them with different spells from your spell lists. These spells must have a mana point cost greater than 0 and at or below the new level's value in the Max Spell MP column of the Black Mage table.

Spellcasting Ability

Your choice between Intelligence or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your black mage spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to recite and incant complex components, but also the burning lantern of your internal fire. You use this choice of your Intelligence or Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use this modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a black mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Fated Luck

When you make an ability check and do not like the result, you can spend 1 spell shard to reroll the d20, and you must use the new roll. If the ability check is pass/fail, you can use this Augmentation even after being told your roll failed, potentially turning the failure into a success.

Heightened Spell

When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, you can spend 3 spell shards to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the spell.

Mage Armor

You touch a willing creature who isn’t wearing armor and spend a spell shard. A protective magical force surrounds it until the spell ends. The target's base AC becomes 13 + its Dexterity modifier. The Augmentation effect ends after 8 hours, if the target dons armor, or if you dismiss the effect as an action.

Mana Familiar

Whenever your spell shards replenish after a long rest, you immediately spend a number equal to half your proficiency modifier (rounded up). In exchange, you gain the ability to summon a tier 1 familiar. If you already have the ability to summon a familiar, the tier you may summon increases by 1. See Familiar rules.

Quickened Spell

When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 2 spell shards to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting.

Seeking Spell

If you make an attack roll for a spell and miss, you can spend 2 spell shards to reroll the d20, and you must use the new roll.

Spell Shield

When you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to spend 2 spell shards to gain a +5 bonus to your AC that lasts until the start of your next turn. This bonus applies to the triggering attack, possibly causing it to miss rather than hit.

Subtle Spell

When you cast a spell, you can spend 1 spell shard to cast it without any somatic or verbal components.

Transmuted Spell

When you cast a spell that deals a type of damage from the following list, you can spend 1 spell shard to change that damage type to one of the other listed types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison.

Twinned Spell

When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and doesn't have a range of self, you can spend a number of spell shards based on its mana point cost to target a second creature in range with the same spell.

To be eligible, a spell must be incapable of targeting more than one creature.

Upsurged spell

When you cast a spell that costs mana and deals damage, you may spend shell shards to increase its potency. If the spell is only capable of targeting one creature, you can spend 1 spell shard to increase one damage roll of the spell by 1d10, 2 spell shards to increase by 2d10, or 3 spell shards to increase by 4d10. If the spell is capable of targeting multiple creatures, you can spend 1 spell shard to increase one damage roll of the spell by 1d6, 2 spell shards to increase by 2d6, or 3 spell shards to increase by 4d6.

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.

Elemental Resistance

At 6th level, your exposure to the elements begins giving you certain defensive protections. Choose a damage type from the following: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison. You gain resistance to this damage type.

Black Waltz

Beginning at 14th level, your prolonged exposure to elemental magic unlocks the potential to take on an arcane form. As a bonus action, you can spend 3 spell shards to temporarily alter your body; you grow aetheric wings resembling a bird or dark angel, and your eyes glow with an unnerving light. You gain a fly speed equal to your walking speed, you can hover, and you can see in the dark (including magical darkness). Additionally, if you are hit by a melee attack while in this form, you can use your reaction to deal 2d8 force damage back to the attacker. This transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it early with a bonus action. Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Elemental Immunity

At 18th level, your defensive affinity to the elements reaches new heights. You gain immunity to the damage type from your Elemental Resistance.

Greater Blink

Starting at 18th level, you are able to bend the fabric of your local space-time around you at will. On your turn, you can spend an amount of your movement equal to your speed to teleport to an unoccupied location within 10 feet of you that you can see. Alternatively, you can choose one willing creature within 10 feet of you and swap places, each teleporting to the other's original location.

Sorcerous Restoration

At 20th level, you regain 4 expended spell shards whenever you finish a short rest.

Dark Knight

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

To fight one's enemies, one must themselves become a finely tuned weapon. That is the shared mantra of all monks. Through incredible martial arts training and learning to focus their ki, they become some of the most fearsome adventurers. Ironic for a people stereotypically known for their soft-spoken, peaceful nature.

Quick Build

You can make a dark knight quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength your highest ability score to fuel your attacks and allow you to wear heavy armor. Your next highest score should be Charisma. Second, choose the criminal background.

Class Features

As a dark knight, you gain the following class features.

Darkness

The darkness in your soul is able to bleed out and physically manifest. You can activate a form of darkness as a bonus action. While in your darkness form, you gain the following benefits:

• You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
• Your Armor Class uses a new calculation, overriding any other possible Armor Class calculations you have available to you. This calculation is based on the armor you have equipped:
  • If you are wearing heavy armor, your Armor Class equals 15 + your Charisma modifier.
  • If you are wearing medium armor, your Armor Class equals 13 + your Charisma modifier.
  • If you are wearing light or no armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Charisma modifier.
  • If you are wearing a shield, it does not provide a bonus to AC.
  • If you are wearing magic armor that provides a bonus to AC, this bonus is added to your AC.
• You deal extra necrotic damage to the first hit you make with a melee weapon attack on a turn. The amount of damage is in the Blood Value column of the Dark Knight table.

Your darkness form lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious. You can also end this form on your turn as a bonus action.

You can use this feature twice, and you regain your expended uses at the end of a short or long rest.

Blood Drain

While you are in your darkness form, you can drain life energy from the foes you fight. If you deal damage to a creature with the Attack action on your turn, you can use your bonus action to restore hit points to yourself or an ally within 10 feet who has more than 0 hit points. The amount of hit points restored is in the Blood Value column of the Dark Knight table.

Spellcasting

At 2nd level, the furnace of dark energy within you allows you to harness dark elemental magics. The strength of your character fuels your spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and lists of spells.

Black Curse

Beginning at 3rd level, spells you cast imbue a hexing curse on your enemies. When you cast a dark knight spell, you can apply black curse on one target of the spell. This curse lasts for one minute. The first time on a turn you hit a creature under the effect of your black curse with a melee weapon attack, that attack deals an extra 1d6 necrotic damage.

Dark Syphon

When you reach 3rd level, your spells have the power to feed back into your life essence. While you are under the effect of your darkness feature and you cast a spell, you can restore a number of your hit points equal to the amount of damage your spell deals to a target of your choice. You also gain resistance to one type of damage dealt by the attack for the remainder of your darkness form transformation. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

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

Sanguine Sword

Starting at 6th level, the blood spilled by your weapon attacks restores your own vitality. When you hit an enemy with a melee weapon attack, you can restore a number of your hit points equal to the damage you dealt with the attack. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

At 15th level, you can instead use this feature two times, regaining any expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Absorb

Beginning at 7th level, you can lessen the impact of incoming blows with false life. After you take damage from a creature's attack, you can gain temporary hit points equal to half of the incoming damage (rounded down). You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Torment

When you reach 11th level, your presence emits an air of foreboding that distracts nearby foes, leaving an opening for retaliation. If an enemy within 5 feet of you attacks an ally who is within 10 feet of you, you can allow that ally to use their reaction to make an opportunity attack against the attacking enemy. You can permit your allies to use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Sword & Sorcery

Starting at 14th level, your aptitude with black magic and armed combat allow you to rapidly swap between both skill sets. When you use your action to cast a spell, you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action.

Souleater

Beginning at 18th level, you can channel your own life force into your attacks. Any time you make a melee weapon attack, you can replace it with a special attack. Make a melee spell attack against a creature of your choice within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the creature takes necrotic damage equal to 10d10 plus your Charisma modifier. If you hit the creature with this attack, you take 5d12 necrotic damage, which can not be reduced in any way. Hit or miss, you can only use this feature one time, and you regain an expended use of it when you finish a short or long rest.

Inner Darkness

At 20th level, your soul radiates pure violence. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 2. Your maximum for those scores is now 22.

Dragoon

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

To fight one's enemies, one must themselves become a finely tuned weapon. That is the shared mantra of all monks. Through incredible martial arts training and learning to focus their ki, they become some of the most fearsome adventurers. Ironic for a people stereotypically known for their soft-spoken, peaceful nature.

Quick Build

You can make a dragoon quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength your highest ability score to expower your attacks. Your next highest score should be Constitution. Second, choose the soldier background.

Class Features

As a dragoon, you gain the following class features.

Dueling

When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Jump

You have honed a special magical ability to make superhuman leaps. As a bonus action, choose a destination location you wish to jump to. The destination location must be a stable landing point - somewhere you could walk or stand on normally. In making this jump, you expend an amount of your movement equal to whichever is the greatest between the following: (a) the horizontal distance between your starting and destination locations, (b) the vertical difference between your starting and destination locations, (c) the vertical distance you must clear to pass over any obstructing terrain or reach an enemy you are attacking (see below) between your starting and destination locations, or (d) 10 feet. If you do not have this amount of movement to spend, you can't use this feature.

The movement you make from your jump does not provoke opportunity attacks, and you do not take any fall damage from any vertical distance you descend. During the jump, you can pass through other creatures' spaces, but the destination location must be a valid location for ending your movement.

If you use an attack from your Attack action immediately following the use of Jump, the target can be any creature that passed within your weapon's reach during the movement. If you do this, you must ensure that the vertical distance clearance calculated above takes into account the height of an airborne target.

Note that when the Extra Attack feature provides additional attacks to your Attack action, this feature can be used in between those attacks if you so choose.

Dragon Scholar

You have spent time during your training studying up on dragons and their kin. You know the Draconic language. You also have advantage on Intelligence (History) and Intelligence (Arcana) checks related to dragons.

Techniques

At 2nd level, you can hone techniques that are fueled by special dice called technique dice.

Techniques Known. You know the Heavy Thrust technique and two other techniques from the list of "Optional Techniques" below. You learn an additional technique from this list at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.

Technique Dice. You have two technique dice, which are d6s. The number and size of these dice increase as you level according to the Tech Dice Amount and Tech Die columns of the Dragoon table, respectively. Your techniques expend your technique dice. You regain all expended uses of your technique dice when you use your Jump feature or if one minute has passed since you last expended a technique die.

Saving Throws. Some techniques and other dragoon abilities require your target to make a saving throw to resist their effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follow:

Lancet

Beginning at 10th level, you can turn the pain inflicted by your weapon damage into magical healing. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can heal yourself for a number of hit points equal to the damage you dealt to that creature with the attack. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Aloft

When you reach 10th level, your airborne mastery enables you to make even greater jumps into the sky. As a bonus action, you leap straight up in the air to a height of 10 to 50 feet, and you hold your position at the highest apex of that leap. This leap doesn't provoke any opportunity attacks, and you can pass through creatures' spaces. Your turn immediately ends with you still in the air. Until the start of your next turn, you have resistance to all damage, attack rolls made against you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on Dexterity saving throws.

At the start of your next turn, if you are not unconscious or otherwise unable to take actions, you must begin your turn by using your Jump ability. This use of the ability doesn't consume your bonus action. The starting location for calculating this jump is the original space you occupied before you leapt into the air on the previous turn. If you are unable to take actions, you instead descend back to the ground without taking any fall damage. If you are unconscious, you land prone.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses after you finish a long rest.

High Jump

Starting at 11th level, your jumps can cause a large impact of force at their landing point. Immediately after you use your Jump feature and you make one of the attacks from your Attack action, you can replace the attack with a special attack. Instead of the normal weapon attack, you target any creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you. The targets must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Technique save DC. On a failed save, they take force damage equal to your weapon's damage. You can also apply Heavy Thrust to this attack, but the die size is d6 instead of its normal size. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain any expended uses after a long rest.

Defensive Stance

At 14th level, you can channel your focus into a defensive posture that allows for rapid counter-attacks. As a bonus action, you enter a defensive stance until the start of your next turn. While you are in this stance, if a creature targets you with a weapon attack or harmful spell, you can launch a wind slash attack against the creature with your weapon. This attack is a melee spell attack with a range of 60 feet. The attack uses your Strength modifier, and you are proficient with it. On a hit, it does force damage equal to your weapon's damage.

While this feature does not use your reaction, any condition that prevents you from taking reactions, such as incapacitation or the Minor Thunder spell, prevents you from using this ability, as well.

Evasion

Beginning at 15th level, 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.

Sky Adept

Starting at 18th level, you are immune to fall damage while you are conscious.

Highwind

When you reach 20th level, you can invoke your mystical power to super-charge your skills for a time. When you use your Jump feature, you can activate this ability. Instead of restoring your technique dice to their normal pool of 5 d12s, you instead replace them with a special pool of 7 d20s. If you use an attack from your Attack action immediately after this Jump, you have advantage on the attack roll, and the attack ignores any resistance or cover. The next time you Jump, any of the special technique dice that are unused are discarded and replaced by the normal 5 d12s.

Monk

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

To fight one's enemies, one must themselves become a finely tuned weapon. That is the shared mantra of all monks. Through incredible martial arts training and learning to focus their ki, they become some of the most fearsome adventurers. Ironic for a people stereotypically known for their soft-spoken, peaceful nature.

Quick Build

You can make a monk quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Dexterity your highest ability score so your martial arts skills and unarmored defense are as high as possible. Your next highest score should be Wisdom. Second, choose the hermit background.

Class Features

As a monk, you gain the following class features.

Martial Arts

At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes or other specialized monk weapons.

You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield:

• You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
• You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
• When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Ki

Starting at 2nd level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. Your monk level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ki Points column of the Monk table.

You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Pummel, Reflexive Dodge, and Wind Step. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class.

When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points.

Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Extra Attack

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

Stunning Strike

Starting at 5th level, you can interfere with the flow of ki in an opponent's body. When you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 ki point to attempt a stunning strike. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.

Ki-Empowered Strikes

Starting at 6th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage.

Aura Blast

Starting at 6th level, you gain the ability to channel your aura into a burst of raw energy. Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 2 ki points to make a special attack. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

You may spend additional ki points on this ability, increasing the damage by 1d6 for each additional ki point. The maximum number of ki points (2 plus any additional points) that you can spend on the spell equals half your monk level.

Evasion

At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects. 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.

Monastic Mind

Starting at 7th level, you can use your action to end one effect on yourself that is causing you to be charmed or frightened.

Monastic Body

At 10th level, your mastery of the ki flowing through you makes you immune to disease and poison.

Aura Cannon

At 11th level, you gain the ability to create an orb of light that erupts into a devastating explosion. As an action, you magically create an orb and hurl it at a point you choose within 150 feet, where it erupts into a sphere of radiant light for a brief but deadly instant.

Each creature in that 20-foot-radius sphere must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 2d6 radiant damage. A creature doesn't need to make the save if the creature is behind total cover that is opaque.

You can increase the sphere's damage by spending ki points. Each point you spend, to a maximum of 3, increases the damage by 2d6.

Monastic Word

Starting at 13th level, you learn to touch the ki of other minds so that you understand all spoken languages. Moreover, any creature that can understand a language can understand what you say.

Diamond Soul

Beginning at 14th level, your mastery of ki grants you proficiency in all saving throws.

Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 ki point to reroll it and take the second result.

Timeless Body

At 15th level, your ki sustains you so that you suffer none of the frailty of old age, and you can't be aged magically. You can still die of old age, however. In addition, you no longer need food or water.

Revive

Starting at 17th level, your mastery of life energy opens the door to the ultimate mercy. As an action, you can touch the corpse of a creature that died within the past 24 hours and expend 5 ki points. The creature then returns to life, regaining a number of hit points equal to 4d10 + your Wisdom modifier. If the creature died while subject to any of the following conditions, it revives with them removed: blinded, deafened, paralyzed, poisoned, and stunned.

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

Empty Body

Beginning at 18th level, you can use your action to spend 4 ki points to become invisible for 1 minute. During that time, you also have resistance to all damage but force damage.

Perfect Self

At 20th level, when you roll for initiative and have no ki points remaining, you regain 4 ki points.

Ninja

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

To fight one's enemies, one must themselves become a finely tuned weapon. That is the shared mantra of all monks. Through incredible martial arts training and learning to focus their ki, they become some of the most fearsome adventurers. Ironic for a people stereotypically known for their soft-spoken, peaceful nature.

Quick Build

You can make a ninja quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Dexterity your highest ability score so your weapon attacks and light armor defense are as high as possible. Your next highest score should be Constitution if you want to shore up your defenses with improved health, or Charisma if you want to emphasize deception. Second, choose the criminal background.

Class Features

As a ninja, you gain the following class features.

Fighting Styles

You are specially trained in two styles of fighting that complement your ninja training. You receive both of these Fighting Style options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Ninjustu

Beginning at 2nd level, you can call upon special magical training to perform skills called Ninjutsu. These mystical skills are taxing to perform, and your energy reserves for using them are represented by Ninjutsu Points. Your ninja level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ninjutsu Points column of the Ninja table.

You can spend these points to perform various Ninjutsu skills. When you spend a Ninjutsu point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at which point your endurance is restored.

Some of your Ninjutsu skills require your target to make a saving throw to resist the skill's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Ninjutsu: Assassinate

When you reach 3rd level, your deadly skill with the katana can temporarily become even deadlier. On your turn, you can spend 1 Ninjutsu point to deal bonus damage with all of your melee weapon attacks made with katana for the rest of that turn. The amount of the bonus damage is in the Assassinate Damage column of the Ninja table. This skill does not require an action, but if you are under a condition that prevents you from taking actions, such as incapacitation, you can't use this skill.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

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

Ninjutsu: Impair

At 5th level, your Ninjutsu can be used to cripple an enemy's defenses. Before you make a weapon attack, you can spend 1 Ninjutsu point to imbue it with an impairing effect. If the attack hits, any attack rolls made against the target before the end of your next turn are made with advantage.

Shadow Step

Starting at 6th level, you can meld with the shadows to teleport around your foes. While you are under the effects of your Ninjutsu: Utsusemi skill, once on each of your turns you can use your movement to teleport, spending two feet of movement for every one foot of distance teleported. You must be able to see the destination location of your teleport.

When you reach 13th level, the movement cost while you are teleporting is reduced. You only need to spend one foot of movement for every foot teleported.

Ninjutsu: Smoke Bomb

Beginning at 9th level, you can produce a magical effect to mask your trail. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 Ninjutsu point to create a blinding cloud of smoke in the space or spaces you occupy. This smoke lasts until the end of your next turn. While it lasts, it blocks line of sight and blinds any creatures other than you who are standing in it. As part of this skill, you also take the Disengage action.

Ninjutsu: Heal Salve

At 10th level, you can channel your mystical power into a special salve that magically entreats your allies' wounds. As an action, you touch a willing creature and spend a number of Ninjutsu points of your choice up to your proficiency bonus. Roll a number of d8s equal to the number of points spent. The creature regains a number of hit points equal to the total rolled.

Mystic Aura

When you reach 13th level, the energy you summon to power your Ninjutsu now radiates from your body. Choose one of the following benefits:

• You are permanently under the effect of the spell Detect Magic. Rather than its usual range, you can only perceive its effects up to 1 foot away from your body.
• You are permanently under the effect of the spell Detect Poison. Rather than its usual range, you can only perceive its effects up to 1 foot away from your body.
• You can cast the spell Illusion 1 at will without any mana point cost or components. The illusion you create must be created at a range of touch, but after it exists you can move it up to its normal range.

Ninjutsu: Steel Resolve

Starting at 14th level, your Ninjutsu can embolden your defenses. Before you make a saving throw, you can spend 1 Ninjutsu point to give yourself advantage on the roll. If you still fail the saving throw, you can spend 1 additional point to roll one final time, but you must use this last value.

Ninjutsu: Shadowbind

Beginning at 18th level, you can manipulate the shadows to grasp and disable your enemies. As an action, you can spend 5 Ninjutsu points to cast Paralyze 2 without any mana point cost or components.

Stealth Kill

At 20th level, you can launch a flurry of attacks. While you are under the effects of your Ninjutsu: Utsusemi skill, you can take the Attack action to make four attacks with your katana instead of two. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Paladin

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

Some people are taken by the call to a higher cause. Paladins fight for what is noble in their eyes, and the strength of their convictions powers a white-hot font of magical energy within their souls. Swearing an oath to a righteous cause means these are no mere knights, but rather they fight with the fervor of one on a holy crusade.

Class Features

As a paladin, you gain the following class features.

Fighting Style

You adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Imbue Light

Holy light stirs within you, and you can will it to aid you and your companions. As an action, you can touch one creature and allow it to recover 1d10 hit points. The number of dice increases according to the Imbue Dice column of the Paladin table. You can use this ability one time, regaining your expended use after you finish a long rest. The number of uses also increases according to the Imbue Uses column of the Paladin table.

Spellcasting

At 2nd level, by the power of your devotion to doing what is noble, you learn to harness healing and divine magics. The strength of your character fuels your spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and lists of spells.

Panacea

Starting at 3rd level, your inner flame provides you with protection from certain negative effects. When you gain this feature, choose one condition from the following: blinded, charmed, paralyzed, poisoned. You are immune to this condition.

Additionally, at level 10, you extend this condition immunity to any creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you. If a creature who is already afflicted with the condition enters within 10 feet of you, you can spend your reaction to immediately remove the condition.

Challenge

At 3rd level, your stature on the battlefield supernaturally draws enemies to you rather than your allies. Whenever you spend mana points casting a spell or using your smite feature, you can mark either a target of the spell/smite or another creature within 15 feet of you. This mark lasts until the end of your next turn. While marked, if the target attacks a creature other than you, you can choose to impose disadvantage on its attack roll against that creature.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

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

Elude

When you reach 6th level, you can call upon the light to dampen blows against you. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to give yourself resistance to damage from the triggering attack and other damage for the rest of the current turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses after you finish a long rest.

Guard

Starting at 7th level, you are adept at using your own body as a shield for your allies. When a creature you can see within 10 feet of you takes damage, you can instead take the damage for them. Any other effects of the triggering attack still apply to the original target. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until the start of your next turn. While this feature does not use your reaction, any condition that prevents you from taking reactions, such as incapacitation or the Minor Thunder spell, prevents you from using this ability, as well.

Lustrous Sword

Beginning at 11th level, you infuse your weapon with holy light. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon, the creature takes an extra 1d8 radiant damage.

Sword & Sorcery

When you reach 14th level, your aptitude with white magic and armed combat allow you to rapidly swap between both skill sets. When you use your action to cast a spell, you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action.

Vengeance

At 15th level, you can deflect an enemy's blows and launch into a deadly counter attack. When you or an allied creature within 10 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction to grant the target a bonus to their AC against the attack, potentially causing it to miss. The bonus is equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1) . If the attack misses, you can make one melee weapon attack against the attacker as part of this reaction, provided the attacker is within your weapon's range.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Shock

Starting at 18th level, you have the ability to focus your inner beacon of light into your weapon, temporarily turning it into a giant beam of radiance while you launch into a foe. Make a melee weapon attack against a creature within your weapon's reach. If your weapon's reach is less than 10 feet, it is 10 feet for this attack. On a hit, in addition to the weapon's damage, you deal extra radiant damage equal to 4d12 plus your Charisma modifier. Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Divine Armor

At 20th level, all of your inner strength can be made manifest into a radiant physical form. As an action, your armor transforms, taking on a beautiful appearance. For one minute, it glows with brilliant white light, and it becomes decorated with vibrant golden filigree. During this transformation, your armor retains all of its properties, but gains the following benefits:

• Bright light shines from you in a 30-foot radius, and dim light shines 30 feet beyond that.
• On each of your turns, the first melee weapon attack you make does not take an attack roll. Instead, it automatically hits.
• At the start of each of your turns, you regain 10 hit points.

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

Red Mage

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

This is a general statement where I talk about all red mages and like how they mix martial aptitude, black magic, and white magic. There are many ways to interpret this, but the core idea of a spellsword remains a persistent archetype throughout Final Fantasy and Dungeons & Dragons alike.

Class Features

As a red mage, you gain the following class features.

Cantrips

At first level, you know two cantrips of your choice from your spell lists. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Red Mage table.

Mana Points

The Red Mage table shows how many mana points you have to cast your red mage spells. To cast one of these red mage spells, you must expend the mana point cost of the spell. You regain all expended mana points when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known that Cost Mana Points

You know one spell of your choice from each of the Elemental, Heavenly, and En-magic spell lists that each cost 10 MP. You also know two spells of your choice from the Utility spell list that each cost 10 MP. Finally, you know both spells from the Swordplay spell list that cost 10 MP.

The Elem/Heav/En Spells Known per List column of the Red Mage table shows when you learn more spells of your choice from each of the Elemental, Heavenly, and En-magic spell lists. Similarly, the Utility Spells Known column shows when you learn more spells of your choice from the Utility spell list. Each spell you know must have a mana point cost greater than 0 and at or below the value in the Max Spell MP column of the Red Mage table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn four new spells (one per each of the Elemental, Heavenly, En-magic, and Utility spell lists) that each cost 15 MP or less.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose up to two of the red mage spells you know and replace them with different spells from the same spell lists. Any new spells must have a mana point cost greater than 0 and at or below the new level's value in the Max Spell MP column of the Red Mage table.

You automatically know all spells from the Swordplay spell list whose mana point cost is greater than 0 and at or below the value in the Max Spell MP column on the Red Mage Table.

Preparing Spells that Cost Mana Points

You prepare the list of red mage spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from your known spells. When you do so, choose a number of these spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + your red mage level (minimum of one spell).

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your red mage spells. Your magic comes from careful study and practice of various arcane arts. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a red mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Jack of All Trades

Starting at 2nd level, you can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn't already include your proficiency bonus.

Healing Wind

Beginning at 2nd level, you learn to channel the light into a wave of healing warmth. You can spend one minute concentrating (as if on a spell) on a mote of light held in your hand. At the end of one minute, you release a flash of energy that splashes over you and your allies. Any creatures of your choice within 30 feet regain 1d6 hit points. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Expertise

At 3rd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.

At 10th level, choose an additional two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of these chosen proficiencies, as well.

Mana Boosts

Beginning at 3rd level, you find new ways to channel your mana state. Mana boosts are Mana State Effects. You know the following mana boosts, and can use them when you are in their associated mana state:

• Instafreeze
• (requires Black Mana State)
• You can unleash a sudden freezing wave. As a bonus action, choose a creature within 10 feet of you. Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit, roll your mana state dice. The total is dealt to the creature as cold damage, and the creature's speed becomes 0 until the start of your next turn.

• Safeguard
• (requires White Mana State)
• You can encase yourself within a protective field of invisible energy. As a bonus action, you shield yourself. Roll your mana state dice. You gain the total as temporary hit points.

• Dancing Blade
• (requires Swordsman Mana State)
• You can perform a weapon skill playing off of your magically enhanced agility. As a bonus action, move up to 20 feet. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. If you are wielding a weapon, you may choose one creature you moved within 5 feet of during this movement and make a melee spell attack against it. On a hit, roll your mana state dice. The total is dealt to the creature as damage. The type of this damage is the same as one weapon you are currently wielding.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

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

Close Encounters

Starting at 5th level, your experience getting up close and personal with foes translates over to your spellcasting. Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged spell attack rolls.

Mana State Recharge

When you reach 6th level, you regain all of your expended uses of your Mana State Effects when you finish a short or long rest.

Everlasting Effect

At 14th level, you can channel lesser versions of some of your abilities at will. Whenever you would roll your Mana State Dice, you can instead roll 2d4. When you do this, you do not expend a use of your Mana State Effects.

Dualcast

Beginning at 18th level, you gain the ability to rapidly cast many spells back-to-back. When you use the Cast a Spell action, you can cast two spells that both have a cast time of 1 action and together have a combined MP cost of 50 MP or less.

Reliable Effect

At 20th level, when you roll initiative and have no uses of your Mana State Effects left, you regain one use. Additionally, any of your Mana State Effects can be used at any time regardless of what mana state you are in.

Samurai

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

There will always be those who live life in the shadier side. A thief isn't just defined by their prowess at stealing - though it is a chief element of their persona. They are also the people who understand the secret laws of the underworld, and they can thrive in an unscrupulous environment.

Class Features

As a samurai, you gain the following class features.

Samurai Weapon Mastery

Your skill with the katana enables you to perform incredible feats beyond what others are capable of with the same weapon. You gain the following benefits

• For you, a katana deals 1d10 slashing damage. It also has the property "Versatile (1d12)."
• At 3rd level, you have a +1 bonus to attacks and damage when using a katana that does not have a magical bonus to attacks and damage.
• At 12th level, you double your ability modifier when calculating weapon damage with a katana.

Other weapons may be used by different disciplines of samurai. If a weapon is similar in statistics to katana, it may qualify for the appropriate benefits as well.

Bushido

Through meditation and reflection, you have learned the art of Iaido: the ability to draw out spirit energy from the world around you to perform profound abilities. You use this energy to execute skills called Bushido, the way of the samurai.

Bushido: Sky

Beginning at 3rd level, you can focus your drawn energy into the exuberant nature of the sky. As an action, you can spend 1 Iaido energy and begin to channel energy for up to one minute. While you are channeling this energy, you must use your concentration, as if on a spell. While you are channeling, any attack rolls against you are made with disadvantage as if the attacker were blind. This effect does not work against creatures with blindsight or truesight.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

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

Bushido: Flurry

Starting at 5th level, you can focus your drawn energy into a tempest of repeated blows. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 Iaido energy to make two weapon attacks with a katana. At 7th level, the number of attacks you make with this ability increases to three, and at 9th level, the number of attacks increases to four.

Retaliate

When you reach 6th level, you learn an impressive countering swordplay maneuver. When a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that attack roll. If the attack fails to hit you, you gain advantage on the next attack roll you make against that creature before the end of your next turn. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Draw Focus

Beginning at 6th level, you are unfettered when assaults attempt to interrupt your commune with spirit energy. While you are channeling energy to execute a Bushido skill or otherwise concentrating on a Samurai ability, you have a +2 bonus to Constitution saving throws to maintain your concentration on the Bushido skill's effects. This bonus increases to +3 at 11th level and +4 at 17th level.

Lunging Assault

At 7th level, you are able to charge certain foes with such ferocity that others can't stop you. If you use your movement to move as straight as possible toward a creature you have fixated upon or sapped, and that movement doesn't stop until you are within 5 feet of that creature, then that movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. This movement may even go around corners or obstacles and still apply as long as you are taking the shortest route to your target as possible.

Bushido: Eclipse

Beginning at 7th level, you can focus your drawn energy into the daunting spirit of an eclipse. As an action, you can spend 1 Iaido energy and begin to channel energy for up to one minute. While you are channeling this energy, you must use your concentration, as if on a spell. When you begin channeling, choose a creature you can see within 120 feet. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Bushido save DC. On a failure, it takes 4d10 psychic damage and is incapacitated for the duration of your channeling. On a success, it takes half damage, but suffers no other effects and your channeling ends. A creature automatically succeeds if it is immune to psychic damage.

While a target is incapacitated from this ability, it must make an additional Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success, the channeling ends and it is no longer incapacitated. On a failure, it takes 4d10 psychic damage.

Wandering Vagabond

Starting at 9th level, your connection to the spirits of nature can provide you with certain freedoms of movement. As an action, you can summon nature kami to aid you. For one hour, you gain the following benefits:

• You are unaffected by difficult terrain.
• You can't have your speed reduced by any means.
• You are immune to being paralyzed or restrained.
• You can spend 5 feet of your movement to escape non-magical restraints.
• You do not suffer any penalties to attacks or movement due to being underwater.

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

Bushido: Oblivion

When you reach 9th level, you can focus your drawn energy into the essence of oblivion. As an action, you can spend 1 Iaido energy and begin to channel energy for up to one minute. While you are channeling this energy, you must use your concentration, as if on a spell. While you are channeling, when you first hit with a melee weapon attack, the attack deals an extra 5d10 force damage. If the target of the attack has 50 or fewer hit points remaining after your attack, it is banished to an extradimensional demiplane for the duration of your channeling. If the target has more than 50 remaining hit points, your channeling ends. When your channeling ends, the creature is returned to the space from which it was banished.

Blade Grasp

At 10th level, your reflexes are honed enough that you can avoid more attacks. When a creature you have fixated upon hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll a d6. If the result is a 4 or higher, the creature misses with the attack instead.

Coin Toss

Beginning at 11th level, you can supernaturally use a common coin to hypnotize your enemies. As an action, you focus your mind for 1 minute, requiring your concentration as if on a spell. When you first begin this focus, and on subsequent turns by using your action, you can throw one coin of any value at a creature within 60 feet. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your Bushido save DC or become unconscious for the duration of your mental focus. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Blade Bash

Starting at 13th level, you learn to stun your opponents with a spirit-infused smash of the broadside of your weapon. As an action, make a melee weapon attack. On a hit, rather than the usual damage, the target is instead paralyzed. While it is paralyzed, it may make a Wisdom saving throw against your Bushido save DC at the end of each of its turns, ending the paralyzation on a successful save. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Banishing Blade

When you reach 15th level, the energy of the world around you can turn your blade into a focus that sends your foes into stasis. As an action, make a melee weapon attack. On a hit, rather than the usual damage, you begin to focus your energy into banishing the target away. This focus can last for up to 10 minutes, and it requires your concentration, as if on a spell. While you are focusing, the creature is locked away in stasis on a demiplane. At the end of each of its turns, it can make a Charisma saving throw with disadvantage against your Bushido save DC. On a success, your focus is broken. Whether your focus ends early or at the full duration, when it ends the creature is returned to the space from which it was banished. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Nonpareil

Also at 15th level, your command over the spirits of nature allows you to bestow yourself and others with greater skill. You can cast the Enhance spell at will, requiring no mana points or components.

Iai Strike

Beginning at 17th level, you can draw the life energy from a weak opponent with a single swing of your blade. As an action, make a melee weapon attack. If the target has 100 hit points or fewer, you do not make an attack roll, and the target dies. Otherwise, make the weapon attack as normal. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Meditate

At 20th level, you can replenish your potential to draw upon the wellspring of Iaido energy through thoughtful communion. You can spend 1 minute in meditation, at the end of which you regain all of your expended Iaido energy. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Thief

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

There will always be those who live life in the shadier side. A thief isn't just defined by their prowess at stealing - though it is a chief element of their persona. They are also the people who understand the secret laws of the underworld, and they can thrive in an unscrupulous environment.

Class Features

As a thief, you gain the following class features.

Trick Attack

Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.

The amount of the extra damage increases as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Trick Attack column of the Thief table.

Thieves' Cant

During your training you learned thieves' cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.

In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

Cunning Action

Starting at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on your turn to do one of the following:

• Take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
• Make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check.
• Use your thieves' tools to disarm a trap or open a lock.
• Take the Use an Object action.

Steal

At 3rd level, your abilities as a pickpocket are second to none. While a creature is unaware of your presence or malintent, you have advantage on Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks to steal items from their person that are not held in their hands.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 10th, 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.

Artful Dodger

Starting at 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's damage against you.

Evasion

Beginning at 7th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects. 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.

Flee

At 9th level, you reach new heights at escaping troubling situations. When your current hit points are at or below half of their maximum value, you gain the ability to use your Cunning Action to take both the Dash and Disengage actions as a single bonus action.

Reliable Talent

By 11th level, you have refined your chosen skills until they approach perfection. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

Treasure Hunter

Starting at 13th level, you are adept at analyzing magical items. You can spend an hour carefully observing an object. This study time can take place during a short or long rest. If the object is a magic item or some other magic-imbued object, you learn its properties and how to use them, whether it requires attunement to use, and how many charges it has, if any. You learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are. If the item was created by a spell, you learn which spell created it.

Blindsense

Starting at 14th level, if you are able to hear, you are aware of the location of any hidden or invisible creature within 10 feet of you.

Slippery Mind

By 15th level, you have acquired greater mental strength. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.

Dyne

At 17th level, you can harness a surge of power to enhance your precision attacks. On your turn, if you hit an enemy with your Attack action and use your Trick Attack ability, you can use your bonus action to deal an additional 6d6 damage.

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

Elusive

Beginning at 18th level, you are so evasive that attackers rarely gain the upper hand against you. No attack roll has advantage against you while you aren't incapacitated.

Lady Luck

At 20th level, you have an uncanny knack for succeeding when you need to. If your attack misses a target within range, you can turn the miss into a hit. Alternatively, if you fail an ability check, you can treat the d20 roll as a 20.

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

Warrior

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

Whether fighting for good or evil or something in between, these adventurers all share unparalleled mastery of melee weaponry and martial combat. Soldiers, gladiators, knights, overlords, mercenaries, and more, they are no strangers to taking on foes, swords a'blazin', and making it look easy the whole time.

Class Features

As a warrior, you gain the following class features.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Protection

When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

Two-Weapon Fighting

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

Parry

You are skilled at deflecting blows to limit their impact. When you are hit by a weapon attack while you are wielding a weapon or shield in at least one hand, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage you take by 1d6 + half your warrior level (rounded down). You may use this feature twice, and you regain all expended uses after you finish a short or long rest.

Action Surge

Starting at 2nd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Combat Superiority

At 3rd level, you learn maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called superiority dice.

Maneuvers. You learn three maneuvers of your choice, which are detailed under "Maneuvers" below. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one maneuver per attack. You learn additional maneuvers of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Maneuvers Known column of the Warrior table. You can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one each time your level increases.

Superiority Dice. You have four superiority dice, which are d8s. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain additional superiority dice and increase their size at higher levels, as shown in the Number of Dice and Superiority Dice columns of the Warrior table.

Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

White Mage

Here is an introductory blurb about one dude who is representative of a classic archetype in the Final Fantasy games. They are a person who has many traits and descriptors and other unique things that are evocative.

Here is a second introductory blurb about a different dude who represents a different archetype, but is equally as recognizable as a member of the class. Look at the cool description of him that I'm writing. It's awesome.

Taking up additional space, a third introductory blurb describes yet another archetype that we're aiming to emulate. This one is the last one, though, so at least we're done writing these things now.

This is a general statement where I talk about all white mages and like their connection to the spirit and other mystical healing forces. Usually meek and polite, these are normally seen as humble acolytes rather than the true powerhouses of nature that they really are below the surface.

Class Features

As a white mage, you gain the following class features.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from your spell lists. You learn additional cantrips of your choice from these spell lists at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the White Mage table.

Mana Points

The White Mage table shows how many mana points you have to cast your white mage spells. To cast one of these white mage spells, you must expend the mana point cost of the spell. You regain all expended mana points when you finish a long rest.

Preparing Spells that Cost Mana Points

You prepare the list of white magic spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from spells with a mana cost greater than 0 on your spell lists. When you do so, choose a number of these spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your white mage level (minimum of one spell). Each of these spells must have a mana point cost at or below the value in the Max Spell MP column of the White Mage table. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest.

In addition to these, you always have some spells prepared beginning at certain levels. They do not count against your total number of allowed prepared spells above. These spells are:

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your white mage spells, since the power of your magic relies on your will and connection to the natural energies of the world. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a white mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Improved White Echo

Starting at 6th level, your healing powers reflect back upon you. When you grant temporary hit points to another creature using your White Echo feature, you are also a second target of the ability.

At 11th level, the second target does not have to be you, but rather it can be any additional target of the spell or creature within 30 feet of you.

Potent Spellcasting

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any white mage cantrip.

White Surge

Beginning at 10th level, you learn to maximize your spells' potential. When you cast a spell that restores hit points, you can maximize the healing done by the spell; rather than rolling any dice to determine the number of hit points restored, instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a creature, you restore 12. Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Enspirit

At 17th level, the energy you channel into yourself and others grants your spirits extra vigor. Any creature who starts their turn with temporary hit points granted by your White Echo feature can add 2d8 radiant damage to one damage roll they make on that turn.

Pulse of Life

By 20th level, you can open the floodgates of your spirit. As an action, any creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you that you can see are each healed for 50 hit points. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Chapter 4: Items

Items from the "Dungeons & Dragons" world largely belong in the "Final Fantasy" world, as well. However, there are several iconic Final Fantasy items that are notably absent from the D&D core rules - either because they are anachronistic to its default setting or because they are native creations of the Final Fantasy stories.

In this section, additional items are provided that can be used in tandem with those from the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide to fill in the gaps.

Gunblades

A gunblade is a normal melee weapon (typically a longsword or great sword) that has the trigger, cylinder, and firing mechanism of a revolver built into it. It is not a firearm; it does not fire bullets as a ranged weapon. Instead, it can optionally consume special ammunition to modify the damage roll and effects of striking with it.

A gunblade has a cylinder that can hold up to 6 pieces of special ammunition. There are several types of this ammunition, but a gunblade can only function if all of the ammunition loaded in its chambers are of the same type.

Chapter 5: Spells

Spells are completely restructured in these rules. This chapter begins with the breakdown of spell names, MP costs, and their spell lists. Unlike in the Player's Handbook, these are not broken down by class, but rather thematically. In fact, different classes may have access to multiple spell lists. For example, the White Mage class has access to the Heavenly, En-magic, and Utility spell lists. The remainder contains spell descriptions, presented in alphabetical order by the name of the spell.

Spell Descriptions

The spells are presented in alphabetical order.

The demiplane is warded against teleportation and planar travel.

During the casting of the spell, you can specify a condition that will cause the spell to end and release the target. The condition can be as specific or as elaborate as you choose, but the GM must agree that the condition is reasonable and has a likelihood of coming to pass.

A dispel magic spell can end the spell only if it is cast with 65 mana points as an omega tier spell, targeting the location where the target last stood before being banished away.

Counterspell

25 MP, en-magic

• Casting Time: 1 reaction
• Range: 60 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Instantaneous

When you see a creature within range cast a spell, you attempt to interrupt it with your own. Choose an amount of mana points to spend on this spell that is at least 25 MP but no more than your Max Spell MP. If spending an amount that coincides with the cost of the alpha, beta, gamma, or omega tiers, casting this spell counts as your single use of that tier.

If the creature is casting a spell that costs as much or less mana as you are spending, their spell fails and has no effect. If it is casting a spell with a higher mana cost, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + (the creature's spell's mana cost - your mana spent)/5. On a success, the creature's spell fails and has no effect.

For example, if the creature's spell costs 45 mana, and you spend 30 mana casting Counterspell, the DC = 10 + (45-30)/5 = 10 + 15/5 = 10 + 3 = 13.
