Design Principles

My design principles for Champions of Azeroth are:

• Start with D&D 5E, change things only when necessary, and add on everything else needed for a Warcraft adaptation. In practice, this generally means starting with a 5E class, add some extra Warcraft flavor and/or utility features, and write new Warcraft subclasses.
• Keep it simple. There is a tremendous amount of content in Warcraft, and you could go mad trying to do a totally faithful implementation of any Warcraft class. I tried to pick simple core fantasies and mechanics to build around, even if that means leaving a lot of inspiration unused.
• Stick to 5E design principles and mechanics. 5E does things certain ways (e.g., favoring advantage over static roll bonuses), and by now has done a lot of things in a lot of different ways. Use those principles and mechanics whenever possible, and don't go against them.
• Make sure that things using 5E vocabulary are unchanged, and things named similarly should be recognizable. Warlocks should have the same core design as 5E warlocks, mages should be based on wizards, barkskin is still the same terrible spell, etc. There are inevitably going to be exceptions, but they should be few and far between.
• Don't neglect utility or roleplay. Given the Warcraft inspiration, it can be tempting to just focus on cool combat features. But part of the joy of a 5E adaptation is getting to interact with Azeroth outside of video game fighting. I want to make sure that the design engages with the full 5E experience, not just combat.

On Balance

Relative to 5E, the goal of Champions of Azeroth material is to be more internally consistent while not changing the upper bounds of character power. In other words, while the average Champions character might be more powerful than the average 5E character, there should be less variance between the power of average Champions characters, and nothing should exceed the optimized builds already possible in 5E. Note that power here doesn't just refer to damage numbers, but also to utility, support, etc. In particular, several classes lacking baseline support/utility capabilities have gained them (warrior and rogue, for example)---such buffs were a good way to deliver classic Warcraft fantasy, while also elevating these classes to my desired balance level.

What This Is

Champions of Azeroth provides a plethora of new content to play 5E in Azeroth (or its various associated planes, worlds, and so on). It provides completely new Warcraft-inspired races and classes, as well as new equipment, feats, spells, and more. It is not a complete replacement for 5E---you'll still use 5E rules, spells, equipment, monsters, etc. That material is not reproduced here. You'll need at least the 5E Player's Handbook to play, but the Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, and Tasha's Cauldron of Everything are also recommended.

Stuff Is Missing!

It sure is! To make things more manageable for myself, I'm going to divide my revised content up by World of Warcraft expansion. This document contains only "classic" content, and future supplements will add additional races, classes, feats, etc. pertaining (roughly) to specific expansions.

This project wouldn't be possible without the WC5E project. I have tremendous respect and gratitude for that project, as well as its creators, contributors, and community. My own Warcraft homebrew efforts began by helping out with that project, and its influence on my work is undoubtedly still apparent, even after many iterations. If you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend you do so!

A big thanks in particular to Auvreannia, who was a great source of inspiration, sounding board, and proofreader for my work. Thanks also to Lev and friends, who provided very detailed feedback on the final products. This project would have suffered greatly without their assistance and support.

Many Forsaken care little for their allies: to them the Horde is merely a tool that may further their dark schemes.

Race/Class Restrictions?

In World of Warcraft, certain classes are limited to certain races. Given that the exact list has changed over time, Champions of Azeroth does not attempt to present any such rules. DMs are encouraged to work with players to make sure their characters are appropriate for their particular game, using race/class restrictions specific to their game's specific era—or even none at all!

 The original 9 World of Warcraft classes are presented here. Additional classes and subclasses will be presented in future supplements: the demon hunter in Champions of Outland, the death knight in Champions of Northrend, and the monk in Champions of Pandaria.

Druidic

You know Druidic, the secret language of druids. You can speak the language and use it to leave hidden messages. You and others who know this language automatically spot such a message. Others spot the message's presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but can't decipher it without magic.

Spellcasting

Drawing on the divine essence of nature itself, you can cast spells to shape that essence to your will. See Chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting, and Chapter 5 for the druid spell list and new spells.

Survival Gear

The survival gear options are presented in alphabetical order.

Dart Trap. When a creature ends its movement on the ground within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to surprise it with a trap that shoots poisonous darts. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your focus save DC. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 poison damage and is poisoned for 1 minute. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and suffers no additional effects. At the end of each of its turns, a poisoned creature can repeat the saving throw, ending the condition on a success.

Explosive Trap. When a creature ends its movement on the ground within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to surprise it with an explosive trap that explodes with a powerful blast. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your focus save DC. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 fire damage, is pushed 15 feet away from you in a straight line, and is knocked prone. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and suffers no additional effects.

Flash Bomb. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks by throwing a flash bomb at a point you can see within 30 feet, which blinds creatures with searing light. Each creature within a 10 foot radius of that point must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d8 radiant damage, and is blinded until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and suffers no additional effects.

Freezing Trap. When a creature ends its movement on the ground within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to surprise it with a freezing trap that encases it in solid ice. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your focus save DC. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 cold damage and is petrified for 1 minute or until it takes any further damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and suffers no additional effects. At the end of each of its turns, a petrified creature can repeat the saving throw, ending the condition on a success.

Aimed Shot

Arcane Shot

Prerequisite: Marksmanship specialization

When you make a ranged weapon attack, you can expend a focus die to empower your ammunition with arcane magic. Instead of making an attack roll, your target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, your target takes damage as if it were hit by the attack, plus the focus die's roll. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage. This attack deals force damage instead of the attack's normal damage type.

Bursting Attack

When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one focus die to attempt to drive the target back. You add the focus die to the attack's damage roll, and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you push the target up to 15 feet away from you.

Call of the Wild

When you make an ability check with a hunter class skill, you can expend one focus die. Roll the focus die and add the number rolled to your ability check. You can choose to do so after you roll the die for the ability check, but before the DM tells you whether you succeed or fail.

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of your attacks and direct your pet or an ally to strike. When you do so, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you and expend one focus die. That creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack, adding the focus die to the attack's damage roll.

The presence of strong evil registers on your senses like a noxious odor, and powerful good rings like heavenly music in your ears. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. You know the type (celestial, fiend, or undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity (the dreadlord Mal'Ganis, for instance). Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hallow spell.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.

Lay on Hands

Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your paladin level × 5.

 As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool.

Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending hit points separately for each one.

This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, 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.

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. 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.

Versatile Weapon Fighting

When you are wielding a single versatile weapon and no other weapons, you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with that weapon. In addition, you gain a +1 bonus to AC if you are wielding that weapon with two hands.

Spellcasting

By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on holy magic through prayer and study to cast paladin spells. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting, and chapter 5 for the paladin spell list and new spells.

Holy

Holy paladins invoke the power of the Light to protect and heal their allies.

✦ spell found in chapter 5

Channel Divinity

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

Divine Storm. As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to lash out in holy fury with a melee weapon. Each creature you choose within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take damage as if it were hit by your weapon, plus an extra 2d8 radiant damage. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage.

Shield of Vengeance. When you are damaged by a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see, you can use your reaction to retaliate with holy fire, using your Channel Divinity. You gain resistance to the triggering attack's damage, and the creature that damaged you must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes radiant damage equal to 2d10 + your paladin level on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Retribution Specialization Spells

✦ spell found in chapter 5

Zeal

By 7th level, your strikes are so powerful that they cleave to nearby foes. Once on each of your turns when you make a melee weapon attack, you can make another attack with the same weapon against a different creature that is within 5 feet of the original target and within range of your weapon.

In addition, when you cast a specialization spell, you can modify it so that it doesn't require concentration. If you do so, the spell's duration becomes 1 round for that casting, ending at the end of your next turn (or earlier, if the spell specifies).

Eye for an Eye

Starting at 15th level, when an enemy creature within your melee range makes a successful attack against you or an ally, you may use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against them.

Avenging Wrath

At 20th level, as an action, you can transform into an avatar of retribution. For 1 minute, bright light shines from you in a 30-foot radius, and dim light shines 30 feet beyond that. Any magical darkness in the area of bright light is dispelled when you activate this feature. You also gain the following benefits:

• Radiant wings sprout from your back and grant you a flying speed of 60 feet.
• When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional attack as part of that action.
• Your melee weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.

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

Spellcasting

As a conduit for divine power, you can cast priest spells. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting, and chapter 5 for the priest spell list and new spells.

Specialization Spells

Each specialization has a list of spells---its specialization spells---that you gain at the priest levels noted in the specialization description. Once you gain a specialization spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If you have a specialization spell that doesn't appear on the priest spell list, the spell is nonetheless a priest spell for you.

Holy Word: Chastise

As a bonus action, you can spend 2 faith points to chastise a creature you can see within 60 feet. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it is incapacitated until the end of your next turn.

Holy Word: Sanctify

When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell, you can spend 3 faith points and instead use the highest number possible for each die.

Holy Word: Serenity

When a creature you can see within 60 feet fails a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, you can expend 1 faith point and use your reaction to make the creature succeed instead.

Power Word: Barrier

When a creature within 60 feet makes a saving throw, you may use your reaction and spend 3 faith points to allow that creature to reroll the saving throw. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the DM declares whether the saving throw succeeds or fails.

Power Word: Fortitude

As a bonus action, you may spend 2 faith points and grant a creature you can see within 60 feet temporary hit points equal to 1d6 + your priest level.

Power Word: Shield

When a creature you can see within 60 feet is hit by an attack, you may use your reaction and spend 1 faith point to add your proficiency bonus to their AC until the start of their next turn, including against the triggering attack.

Shadow Word: Death

When a creature within 60 feet of you takes damage from an attack or spell, you can spend 2 faith points and use your reaction to deal necrotic damage to it equal to 1d10 + your priest level. If this damage doesn't reduce the creature to 0 hit points, you take half this damage, which can't be reduced or prevented in any way.

Shadow Word: Pain

You can spend 1 faith point when you cast a spell on a creature to inflict torment, provided the spell hit the target with an attack or it failed a saving throw against the spell. At the beginning of the target's next turn, it takes a number of d4s of necrotic damage equal to your proficiency bonus.

Shadow Word: Void

When you deal psychic or necrotic damage to a creature with a spell, you can spend 3 faith points to cripple its resolve. That creature has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes before the end of your next turn.

Discipline

Discipline priests use magic to shield allies as well as heal their wounds, while punishing their enemies with spells.

Shadow Specialization Spells

Expertise

At 1st level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with thieves' tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.

At 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in skills or with thieves' tools) to gain this benefit.

Sneak 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 if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.

You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll.

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

Thieves' Cant

During your rogue 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 each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Rogue Specialization

At 3rd level, you choose a specialization that you emulate in the exercise of your rogue abilities: Assassination, Outlaw, or Survival, all of which are detailed at the end of the class description. Your specialization choice grants you features at 3rd level and then again at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.

Ability Score Improvement

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

Uncanny Dodge

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.

Dirty Tricks

At 6th level, you learn how to weaken your foes with debilitating attacks. When you deal Sneak Attack damage, you can force the target to make a Constitution saving throw against a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. On a failure, the creature is blinded, incapacitated, or its speed is reduced to 0 (your choice), until the end of your next turn.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. You can use this feature twice between rests starting at 10th level and three times between rests starting at 14th level.

Assassination

Assassination rogues are deadly masters of poisons who dispatch their victims with vicious strikes.

Hit and Run

When you choose this specialization at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal. During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can't make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn.

Blade Flurry

Also at 3rd level, you can trade lethal precision for daring agility. When you take the Attack action on your turn, your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of the turn. In addition, if you hit and would inflict Sneak Attack damage, you can forgo half your Sneak Attack damage dice to make an additional weapon attack as part of the same action. If this attack hits, it deals additional damage dice equal to half your Sneak Attack damage dice.

At 13th level, when you use Blade Flurry you can make two additional weapon attacks as part of the same action, each of which deals additional damage dice equal to half your Sneak Attack damage dice.

Quick Draw

Starting at 9th level, you can draw a weapon as part of an attack you make with it.

In addition, once on your turn when you miss with a weapon attack, you can immediately make another attack with a different light weapon as part of the same action.

Parry & Riposte

By 13th level, you have become a master duelist. When you are hit by a weapon attack but before damage is rolled, you can use your reaction to add your proficiency bonus to your AC. If this causes the attack to miss you, you can immediately make one weapon attack against your attacker as part of the same reaction, if they are within range of your weapon.

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

Subterfuge

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit and the forgery kit. Additionally, you can unerringly mimic the speech patterns and accent of a creature that you hear speak for at least 1 minute, enabling you to pass yourself off as a native speaker of a particular land, provided that you know the language.

Shadow Magic

Also at 3rd level, you gain the minor illusion cantrip if you don't already know it. You can also cast more potent spells using shadow points. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting. To cast one of these spells, you use its casting time and other rules, but you don't need to provide material components for it. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for spells cast using this feature.

You have a number of shadow points equal to your rogue level divided by 3, rounded up. You must spend a number of shadow points equal to the spell's level to cast it. When you spend a shadow point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you regain all your expended shadow points.

You are initially able to cast the spells fog cloud and silent image. At higher levels, you learn to cast additional spells, as shown in the Shadow Magic Spells table.

Shadow Magic Spells

Nightstalker

Starting at 9th level, you are more adept at striking from the shadows. When you make an attack with advantage and the attack hits, it deals an additional 1d6 damage.

Shadow Focus

At 13th level, you can cast your Shadow Magic spells as a bonus action. These spells are also enhanced in the following ways:

• You ignore the obscurement created by your fog cloud.
• When you cast silent image or major image, as a bonus action you can change the nature of that illusion (using the spell's normal parameters for the illusion), provided that you can see the illusion.
• Your invisibility and greater invisibility spells also make you imperceptible to blindsight and tremorsense, in addition to normal sight.
• When you cast misty step or dimension door, you can immediately turn invisible until the start of your next turn or until you attack, make a damage roll, or force someone to make a saving throw.
• While using blink, if the result of your d20 roll is 10 or lower, you have half cover until the start of your next turn.

Secret Technique

When you reach 17th level, you learn to conjure illusory doubles to strike at your foes. Immediately after you deal your Sneak Attack damage to a creature on your turn, you can use your bonus action to target a second creature that you can see within 30 feet of the first creature. Make an attack roll with the same weapon against this creature; if the attack succeeds, it deals psychic damage equal to your Sneak Attack damage instead of the attack's normal damage.

Kalimag

You can speak, read, and write Kalimag, the sacred language of elementals. Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with elementals, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

Spellcasting

As a conduit for elemental power, you can cast shaman spells. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting, and chapter 5 for the shaman spell list and new spells.

Specialization Spells

Each specialization has a list of spells---its specialization spells---that you gain at the shaman levels noted in the specialization description. These spells count as shaman spells for you, but don't count against the number of shaman spells you know. These spells can't be replaced when you gain a level in this class.

Elemental

The primal magic of elemental shaman can be used to damage enemies from afar with lightning strikes, earthquakes, and lava bursts.

Fighting Style

Also at 3rd level, you adopt a particular 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.

Defense. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

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.

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

Versatile Weapon Fighting. When you are wielding a single versatile weapon and no other weapons, you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with that weapon. In addition, you gain a +1 bonus to AC if you are wielding that weapon with two hands.

Restoration Specialization Spells

✦ spell found in chapter 5

Deep Healing

When you choose this specialization at 3rd level, you learn how to call upon the elements for aid when your allies are near death. When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell to a creature at 0 hit points, you instead use the highest number possible for each die.

In addition, you learn the spare the dying cantrip, which doesn't count against the number of shaman cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 30 feet, and you can cast it as a bonus action.

Elemental Aegis

Also at 3rd level, you can invoke the elements to safeguard your allies. When another creature you can see within 60 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6 plus half your shaman level. In addition, you can choose to apply one of the following elemental effects:

Air Shield. If you used this reaction in response to a melee attack, the attacker must make a successful Strength saving throw or be pushed straight backwards 15 feet

Earth Shield. The defended creature regains hit points equal to the amount by which you reduced the damage.

Fire Shield. If you used this reaction in response to a melee attack, the attacker must make a successful Dexterity saving throw or take fire damage equal to the amount by which you reduced the damage, or half as much damage on a successful save.

 Water Shield. The defended creature has advantage on the next saving throw it makes before the end of its next turn.

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

Deluge

Beginning at 6th level, whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to more than one creature, all affected creatures regain additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level.

Spirit Tide

At 14th level, you can replenish the spirits of nearby allies with a swell of restorative energy. As an action, choose a number of creatures within 60 feet that you can see, up to your proficiency bonus. For each target, roll 1d4 and choose one of the following effects:

• The creature regains one expended spell slot, the level of which equals their number rolled or lower (the creature's choice).
• The creature regains hit points equal to your proficiency bonus, and can choose to spend hit dice to regain hit points as if they completed a short rest. It can spend a number of hit dice up to the number you rolled (the creature's choice).

You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to use it again when you finish a long rest.

Resurging Elements

When you reach 18th level, you can extend the protective elemental energy you invoke to safeguard your allies. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend a use of Elemental Aegis and ward a creature you can see within 60 feet. For 1 minute, you can use your reaction to defend the warded target with your Elemental Aegis feature without expending its uses. You can only ward one creature at a time with this feature, but can continue to use Elemental Aegis to defend other creatures, expending uses as normal. You can use Resurging Elements again to ward a new creature, ending the ward on the previous target.

Eredun

You can speak, read, and write Eredun, the profane language of demons. Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with demons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

Pact Magic

Your research into fel magic and the oaths you've sworn to dark powers have given you facility with spells. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting, and chapter 5 for the warlock spell list and new spells.

Pact of Supremacy

Your demonic minions add their proficiency bonus to their AC, and have an additional number of hit points equal to your warlock level.

Pact of Sacrifice

You may use your action to reduce your current demonic minion to 0 hit points, making a pact of sacrifice to gain some of its power. This pact gives you several benefits, and lasts until you finish a long rest or summon another demonic minion.

When you make a pact of sacrifice, your hit point maximum and current hit points increase by your warlock level. You also gain proficiency in the sacrificed demon's listed skills and saving throws. Finally, once per turn when you deal damage with a spell, you can add your proficiency bonus to one damage roll of that spell.

Soul Rites

You can spend soul shards on any of the following soul rites.

Create Healthstone. As an action, you may expend a soul shard to create a healthstone, which you may keep or give away. As an action, anyone may crush a healthstone to regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your warlock level. The healthstone is destroyed after use, or when you finish a long rest.

Create Soulstone. As an action, you may expend a soul shard to create a soulstone, which you may keep or give away. You may only have one soulstone in existence at a time; using this rite again immediately destroys the previous soulstone. When the bearer of your soulstone is reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, they may drop to 1 hit point instead, and the soulstone is destroyed. If not used, the soulstone is destroyed when you finish a long rest.

Nether Ward. When you roll a saving throw, you can use your reaction and expend a soul shard to reroll the saving throw. You can choose to use this rite after you make your initial roll, but before the DM declares whether the saving throw succeeds or fails.

Soul Burn. You can spend a soul shard when you cast a warlock spell to make the spell ignore damage resistance and immunity.

Soul Conduit. You can use a soul shard to cast a warlock spell you know without expending a spell slot. The spell must be of level at most half your proficiency bonus.

Affliction

Affliction warlocks are masters of shadow magic who specialize in spells that sap the life and will of their enemies.

Fighting Style

You adopt a particular fighting style 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.

Arms

Arms warriors are battle-hardened weapon masters, using mobility and overpowering attacks to strike down their foes.

Fury

Fury warriors are furious berserkers who unleash a flurry of attacks to carve their opponents to pieces.

Charge

As a bonus action, you can use this maneuver to move up to your speed toward a creature that you can see, which doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. You must end this move closer to the creature than you started. If this maneuver is used in your first turn of combat, it generates two rage points instead of costing rage.

Cleave

Choose another creature within 5 feet of the original target and within range of your weapon. If the original attack roll would hit the second creature, it takes damage equal to your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice).

Defensive Strike

Until the beginning of your next turn, the first attack roll made against you each turn has disadvantage, provided you can see the attacker.

Demoralizing Strike

The damage of your target's next melee attack before the end of your next turn is halved.

Disarming Strike

Your target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or drop one item of your choice that it is holding; the object lands at its feet.

Dull Pain

When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can spend one rage point to gain resistance to the attack's damage against you.

Forceful Strike

If your target is Large or smaller, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 15 feet away from you.

Hamstring

Your target's movement speed is halved until the end of your next turn.

Heroic Strike

After you roll damage with a weapon attack, you can spend one rage point to reroll the weapon's damage dice and use either result. You can spend additional rage to use this maneuver additional times on the same attack.

Intimidating Strike

Your target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened by you until the end of your next turn.

Mortal Strike

Your weapon attacks, including this one, ignore your target's damage resistances until the beginning of your next turn.

Pummel

If your target makes a concentration check as a result of this attack, they have disadvantage on that roll.

Sunder Armor

The next attack roll made against your target before the end of your next turn is made with advantage.

Taunting Strike

Your target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn. This maneuver can only be used with melee weapon attacks.

Victory Rush

When you reduce a hostile target to 0 hit points, you can spend one rage point (no action required) to gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier + your warrior level (minimum of 1). You can use this maneuver at most once per turn.

Starting Equipment

Instead of the starting gold and items granted by your class, you may choose to start with a number of gold pieces based on your class and purchase equipment directly.

Weapons

Azeroth contains several unique weapons not presented in the Player's Handbook, from the elegant glaives of the night elves to the deadly rifles of the dwarves. Some of these weapons are detailed below.

Languages

The languages most likely to be encountered by Champions of Azeroth characters are listed in the Languages tables below; a more comprehensive list can be found on Wowpedia. Additional languages will be listed in future supplements.

Variant Rules

Some of the following variant rules are adapted from those presented in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, while others are original to Champions of Azeroth.

Multiclassing Prerequisites

Multiclassing Proficiencies

Note that multiclassing is not encouraged for Warcraft 5E: Champions content. Even moreso than in standard 5th Edition, these classes tend to have significant, impactful features in their early levels, making multiclass "dips" disproportionately powerful. Instead, the Multiclass Feats section of this chapter presents an alternative approach to obtaining features from other classes.
