Race

Ava


  • Ability Scores: Str +1; Dex +1; Cha +1
  • Size: Medium
  • Speed: 30ft., fly 35ft.


  • Age: Avas reach maturity by age 25. They can live up to 120 years.

  • Alignment: Avas are a proud warrior race and so tend to be lawful although whether they are good, neutral, or evil depends on the Ava you meet.

  • Size: Ava are about 7 feet tall and weigh from 180-240 pounds. Your size is medium.

  • Flight: You have a flying speed of 35 feet. To use this speed, you cannot be wearing heavy armor.

  • Thick Feathers: You are acclimated to cold weather and have resistance to cold damage.

  • Ava's Grace: You can create an updraft centered on you that will send you 50 feet straight up in the air provided you start on the ground. The updraft is 30 feet high, 15 feet long, and 5 feet thick. The updraft lasts for a minute and so it keeps fog, smoke, and other gases at bay. Small or smaller flying creatures or objects can't pass through the wall. Loose, lightweight materials brought into the wall fly upward. Arrows, bolts, and other ordinary projectiles launched at targets behind the wall are deflected upward and automatically miss. (Boulders hurled by giants or siege engines, and similar projectiles, are unaffected.) Creatures in gaseous form can't pass through it. You may use this ability again once you have completed a short or long rest.

  • Winged Combat: Because Avas use their arms to fly, they have developed a fighting style that allows them to use their feet to fight. While flying, you can use two handed weapons and interact with objects that require two hands. Also, your kicks deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your strength modifier

  • Languages: You speak common and Auran

Ghost in a Shell

At level one, as an action, you can possess dead creatures. Your eyes light up, you freeze whatever position you were in, and your consciousness leaves your body to possess a creature that has been dead for no more than 20 minutes. You must have line of sight to possess a creature. While possessed, you do not have access to information that the creature had while it was alive. You use the same stats the creature had however it has 4 hit points on possession, and any injuries that caused its death do not heal with the possession. So for example, if you snapped the creatures' neck, its head would be backwards if you possessed it. The possession lasts for 5 minutes and at the end of the 5 minutes the creature turns to ash and you return to your body.

SpellCasting

At level 2, you learn to channel the energy of remnant spirits to cast your spells.

Cantrips

You know a cantrip of your choice from the bard spell list. You learn an additional cantrip at 8th, and then another at 14th level.

Spell Slots

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

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

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know 2 1st-level spells of your choice from the bard spell list.

Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the bard spells you know and replace it with another spell from the bard spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your possessor spells. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a possessor spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +

your Charisma modifier

You can cast any possessor spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

You can pass through solid objects at a cost of 1d4 force damage. Should you fail to return to your form before you run out of breath, your phantom form returns to your body immediately, you fall unconscious for 5 minutes, and take 6d8 force damage.

Final Act

At level 10, when you possess a creature with your Ghost in a Shell ability, you can choose to detonate the dead creature and deal force damage to each enemy within 5 feet. The creatures must make a dexterity saving throw against your spell save dc. You roll hit dice which you lose, and you take full damage while creatures within 5 feet take half of what was rolled. If a creature succeeds on the dexterity saving throw, they take a quarter of the damage.

Possession Flash
