# Almea's Guide to Vouri
### Introduction
This book is intended is made to be read as if the powerful wizard, **Almea Vysoren**, had written it, making it an exclusive in-world portrayal that can only be read within the inner sanctum of Libraries of the Occult Soul located at Trostenwald. Almea's own musings appear at the start of most sections in the book, which can be discerned by its font, coloring and tone, as shown below:
 
  
<img 
  src='https://www.gmbinder.com/images/vE7udU4.png' 
  style='position:absolute;top:0px;left:400px;width:500px' />

<br>

#### Thou shall be respectful to each tome in this library and treat it with utmost care. In fact, treat them as if your life depended on it. Because it does.

</div>

As you might have already guessed. Almea can be quite arrogant, cynincal, and opinionated. Almea can sometimes sell a subjective opinion on a master as an indisputable fact.

However, her haughty tone is probably well-deserved. She is the Keeper of Tomes at the Library of the Occult Soul, the highest title of anyone can hope to achieve at that prestigious monastery of knowledge in Trostenwald. There she is assisted with various researchers and monks of the Occult Soul while sending her most beloved raven familiar, Sirius, to fly amongst the lands of Vouri.

### About This Book
This book is intended to aid stoytelling and worldbuilding to create characters that are immersed into the Lands of Vouri. Not all of the Character Options present in the book are original. Some of them were taken from other sources, adapated and changed.

All of the Character Options present in this book haven't been playtested yet and I am very much hoping to see players try out my homebrew!

Please tell me your opinions on the Character Options present in the book whether good, bad or anything to help me balance and know what to do next time.

# Martial Characters

Barbarian, fighter, rogue and monk: these are the classes with fresh
options here. Not surprisingly, some of these are peculiarly well suited to the Vourian races in Chapter 2. Bloodthirsty bersekers, dragon-skinned warriors, arcane monks, muscle brute ruffians and duplicating rogues are just a few of the exciting options available to martial and rogue-type adventurers in Midgard.

## Barbarian Subclass

### Path of the Berserker, Revised

For some barbarians, rage is a means to an end— that end being violence. The Path of the Berserker is a path of untrammeled fury, slick with blood. As you enter the berserker’s rage, you thrill in the chaos of battle, heedless of your own health or well-being. At your option, you can pick from or roll on the Berserker Quotes table to create one of your character's more memorable quotes.

#### Berserker Quotes

| d6  | Quotes |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1  | "RAAAAAAARGHHHHH!"   |
|  2  | "DEATH, DEAATH, DEAAAAAATH!" |
|  3  | "Don't make me angry... you won't like me when I'm angry." |
|  4  | "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!" |
|  5  | "WAAAAAAAAAAGH!" |
|  6  | "STRIP THE FLESH! SALT THE WOUND!"  |

<br>

#### Path of the Berseker Features
| Barbarian Level  | Feature |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  3rd  | Frenzy | 
|  6th  | Mindless Rage |
|  10th  | Intimidating Presence |
|  14th | Gory Retribution |

### Frenzy

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can enter a frenzy as a bonus action whilst you are raging. If you do so, for the duration of your rage you can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your turns. You can make this attack as part of the same bonus action used to enter a frenzy, and you can enter a frenzy as part of the same bonus action used to enter a rage.

If you enter a frenzy during your rage, you must a DC 10 Constitution saving throw when your rage ends. If you fail, you suffer one level of exhaustion (as described in appendix A). Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 3. When you finish a long rest, the DC resets to 10.

### Mindless Rage

Beginning at 6th level, you ignore all effects of any levels of exhaustion you have whilst you are raging.

Additionally, you can’t be charmed or frightened while raging. If you are charmed or frightened when you enter your rage, the effect is suspended for the duration of the rage.

\columnbreak

### Intimidating Presence

Beginning at 10th level, you can use your action to frighten someone with your menacing presence. When you do so, choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. On subsequent turns, you can use your action to extend the duration of this effect on the frightened creature until the end of your next turn. This effect ends if the creature ends its turn out of line of sight or more than 60 feet away from you.

If the creature succeeds on its saving throw, you can’t use this feature on that creature again for 24 hours.

### Gory Retribution

Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.

Additionally, your rage damage is doubled against that creature until the end of your next turn.

#### I've once met one before. He was so angry he screamed through the whole day.

#### Even in his sleep, he screamed about tearing flesh from their skulls...couldn't sleep the whole night.

## Barbarian Subclass
### Path of the Totem Warrior
The Path of the Totem Warrior is a spiritual journey, as the barbarian accepts a spirit animal as guide, protector, and inspiration. In battle, your totem spirit fills you with supernatural might, adding magical fuel to your barbaric rage.

Most barbarian tribes consider a totem animal to be kin to a particular clan. In such cases, it is unusual for an individual to have more than one totem animal spirit, though exceptions exist.

### Dragon Totem Quirks
| d6  | Quirk |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1  | You keep your treasure in your bedroll. |
|  2  | You have dragon like horns that never go away after your first rage. |
|  3  | You occasionally refer to mortals as morsels. |
|  4  | You prefer your food having been treated by your element of choice. |
|  5  | Your burps can be a little bit... elemental. |
|  6  | You occasionally feel the need to practice your roaring. |

### Spirit Seeker 
This feature remains unchanged from what is contained in the *Player's Handbook*

### Totem Spirit
At 3rd level, when you adopt this path, you choose a totem spirit and gain its feature. You must make or acquire a physical totem object- an amulet or similar adornment — that incorporates fur or feathers, claws, teeth, or bones of the totem animal. At your option, you also gain minor physical attributes that are reminiscent of your totem spirit. For example, if you have a bear totem spirit, you might be unusually hairy and thickskinned, or if your totem is the eagle, your eyes turn bright yellow.
____
**Dragon.** Choose a totem dragon from the *Monster Manual* (blue, black, green, red, white, brass, bronze, copper, silver, gold). When raging, your body becomes covered in the scales of your totem dragon granting you a +2 to AC and you gain resistance to the primary damage type of the respective totem's breath weapon.

### Aspect of the Beast
At 6th level, you gain a magical benefit based on the totem animal of your choice.
____
**Dragon.** A dragon's senses go above and beyond those of your average creature. You gain blindsight to a range of 30 feet. In addition you gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks.

\columnbreak

### Spirit Walker
At 10th level, if you have taken a dragon totem feature, when you can cast the *commune with nature* spell with this feature, you can also seek out dragons.

### Totemic Attunment
At 14th level, you gain a magical benefit based on a totem animal of your choice.
____
**Dragon.** When raging a portion of the dragon's legendary resistance extends to you. While raging, you have advantage on all saving throws.

#### As my good black-feathered friend told me from the biting coldness of the north are a tribe of barbarians that could turn their skin into a white dragon's scales. Yes Sirius, it was both astounding and horrifying.

</div></div>

\pagebreakNum

## Monk
### Monk Variant Feature
***Replaces Stunning Strike***

Starting at 6th level, tour martial arts die increases by one size (from d6 to d8). at 11th level it becomes a d10, and at 17th level it becomes a d12. Additionally, you gain a set of additional martial art abilities you can use. These share the Ki Save DC of your martial arts feature.

**Path of Foes**

When you hit a large or smaller creature within 5 feet with an unarmed strike or monk weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to exchange position with him.

**Set Up**

When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or monk weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to give the next attack roll against them advantage.

**Grappling Technique**

When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to attempt to grapple them. When you grapple this way, you can use Acrobatics (Dexterity) even when initiating the grapple.

> #### Design Notes:
>
> Stunning Strike is a potent ability (one of the monk’s most potent abilities) but that’s what makes it a good target for a variant feature - replacing fundamental changes the monk’s playstyle in a way some will find refreshing.

## Fighter

### Variant Fighting Options

The following options can be used when the appropriate class features require a choice, or using the *Martial Versatility* option from the *Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.*

***Brace (Battle Master Maneuver).*** When you use your Second Wind feature, you can expend up to two superiority dice, adding the superiority dice to the number of hit points regained.

***Eagle Scout (Battle Master Maneuver).*** When you make an Intelligence (Nature), a Wisdom (Perception), or a Wisdom (Survival) check, you can expend one superiority die and add it to the ability check.

***Fencer (Fighting Style).*** When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage dice for an attack you make with a light melee weapon, you fan reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or 2.

***Recoup (Battle Master Maneuver).*** When you miss a creature with a weapon attack, you can use your reaction and expend one superiority die to immediately make another weapon attack against the creature. If you hit, you add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll.

***Relentless (Fighting Style).*** When you score a critical hit with a weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, you move 10 feet without using any of your speed.

***Scholarship (Battle Master Maneuver).*** When you make an Intelligence (Arcana) or an Intelligence (Religion) check, you can expend one superiority die and add the superiority die to the ability check.

***Throw Down (Battle Master Maneuver).*** Immediately after you hit a creature with a melee attack on your turn, you can expend one superiority die and then try to shove the target as a bonus action. Add the superiority die to your Strength (Athletics) check. If you win the contest, you both knock the target prone and push it 5 feet away from you.

***Versatile Fighting (Fighting Style).*** You can increase the size of one weapon die (for example from a d8 to a d10) for a weapon you are wielding (up to a d12). This stacks with the increase granted by the Versatile property.

> #### Third Party Subclasses:
> More Fighter subclasses that are related to the setting could be found in other Third Party Books such as:
>
> ***Fighter: Gunslinger and Echo Knight:*** The Gunslinger Subclass is made by Matt Mercer as a 3rd Party Content and the Echo Knight is present in *Explorer's Guide To Wildemount*.

## Monk Subclass

### Way of the Occult Soul
Through countless hours of meditation, these monks are able to awaken the arcane magic that lies dormant in their body and soul using the years of research they have collected in the archives of the Occult Soul standing as some of the most well-respected and most heavily guarded repositories of tomes, history, arcana and information across the world.

These monks blend martial arts and spellcasting to a devastating effect. Through countless hours of meditation, these monks are able to awaken the arcane magic that lies dormant in their body and soul by the methods taught to them of the years of research they have collected over the decades. These monks blend martial arts and spellcasting to a devastating effect.

##### Way of the Occult Soul Features
| Monk Level | Feature |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 3rd | Spellcasting, Foreseen Fighting |
| 6th | Arcane Forging |
| 11th |Flowing Defense |
| 17th | Master of Mind and Spirit  |

### Spellcasting
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you start to waken the arcane magic lying dormant in your body and soul allowing you to shape a portion of your Ki into spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the wizard spell list.

**Cantrips.** You learn three cantrips: true strike and two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn an additional wizard cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

**Spell Slots.** The Way of the Occult Soul Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the 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 feather fall and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast feather fall using either slot.

**Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher.** You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the divination and transmutation spells on the wizard spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Way of the Occult Soul Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st-level or higher. Each of these spells must be a divination or transmutation spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you known with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be a divination or transmutation spell, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level.

***Spellcasting Ability.*** Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learned your spells through deep meditation on the arcane magic that lies within. 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 wizard spell you can cast and when making an attack roll with one.

***Spell save DC*** = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Wisdom modifier

***Spell attack bonus*** = your proficiency bonus +

your Wisdom modifier

### Foreseen Fighting
Starting at third level, when you cast *true strike*, you can do so as a bonus action and without needing to maintain concentration.

### Arcane Forging
At 6th level, you learn a ritual that transforms one monk weapon of your choice into an arcane catalyst. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and transform it.

As part of this transformation, the weapon's damage type becomes force, and you can use your arcane catalyst as a spellcasting focus for your Way of the Occult Soul spells.

### Flowing Defense
Beginning at 11th level, you learn to control the flow of magic directed toward you. You can use your reaction to deflect or catch the spell when you are hit by a ranged spell attack. If the spell has multiple ranged spell attacks, you can only deflect or catch one of them. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Wisdom modifier + your monk level.

If you reduce the damage to 0, you can seize control of the spell if you have at least one hand free. If you seize control of the spell in this way, you can spend 1 ki point per level of the spell seized (minimum of 1) to make a ranged spell attack with the spell, as part of the same reaction. The spell counts as a Way of the Occult Soul spell for the attack.

\columnbreak

### Master of Mind and Spirit
At 17th level, you've awakened the Arcane magic within your body and soul granting you the power to freely shape the form of your ki into spells. You can use your ki points to gain additional spell slots.

***Creating Spell Slots.*** You can transform unexpended ki points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of a given level. The created spell slots vanish at the end of a short or long rest.

##### Creating Spellslots
| Spell Slot Level | Ki Point Cost |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 1st  | 2 |
| 2nd  | 3 |
| 3rd  | 5 |
| 4th  | 6 |

#### The Libraries of the Occult Soul are currently supervised by yours truly, holding the collected tomes of history and arcane since the Knowing Maiden was upon us.

#### These monks are aspiring researchers of the arcane that aid me in seeking more knowledge of arcana.

## Rogue Subclass

### Hundred Faced Roguish Archetype
You adhere to an ancient art, through which you can split your body and mind into several selves. While your other selves are fragile due to being a fragment formed from you, they're able to scout ahead and assassinate your enemies. A Hundred Faced can turn a fair fight into a fatal ambush.

#### Hundred Faced Features
| Ranger Level  | Feature |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  3rd  | Mind of a Hundred, Body of a Hundred |
|  9th  | Soul of a Hundred |
|  13th  | Inheritance of One |
|  17th | Legacy of All |

#### Mind of a Hundred 
Starting at 3rd level, every talent in the world can be found within your mind. You gain proficiency in one tool of your choice. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can replace that tool proficiency with another tool proficiency. At 9th level, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses the chosen proficiency.

#### Body of a Hundred 
Starting at 3rd level, you can split yourself into several. As an action, you can create a duplicate of yourself that lasts for 1 hour. It uses all of your statistics, except that it has a hit point maximum of 1, no temporary hit points, no ongoing effects such as spells, and 0 uses of any feature regained on a short or long rest. When the duration ends or it dies, it vanishes.

The duplicate obeys your commands. It takes its turn on your initiative, though it doesn't take an action unless you command it to, and it doesn't take bonus actions or reactions. On your turn, you can verbally command the duplicate where to move (no action required by you). You can use your action to verbally command it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, Hide, or Use an Object action.

The duplicate is equipped with a copy of any armor you wear and any weapon or shield you wield when you create it, except that they have 0 charges and 0 uses of any property regained at a time of day. The copied equipment can't be thrown, disarmed, or dropped, and the duplicate can't use equipment except copied equipment and given ammunition.

The duplicate can't take any rests. If you are incapacitated or absent, it can't act. If a creature provokes an opportunity attack from it, you can use your reaction to have it make one.

You can create a duplicate a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

\columnbreak

#### Soul of a Hundred 
At 9th level, you manifest your will through your other selves, regardless of distance. You can communicate telepathically with your duplicate and perceive through your duplicate’s senses as long as you are on the same plane of existence.

Additionally, while perceiving through your duplicate’s senses, you can speak through your duplicate in your own voice, and you can command it to act even if you're absent.

#### Inheritance of One 
At 13th level, your other selves have surpassed you in their own way, they can be called your peers. When you create a duplicate, it has a hit point maximum equal to your rogue level and gains one of the following features of your choice.

**Acceleration.** The duplicate has doubled walking speed.

**Aviation.** The duplicate has a flying speed of 30 feet. Duration. The duplicate lasts for 8 hours instead of 1 hour.

**Expansion.** The duplicate is Large and has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.

**Explosion.** If the duplicate is within 120 feet of you, you can use your action to reduce it to 0 hit points and explode, each creature within 10 feet of it takes 4d6 fire damage. 
**Salvation.** If the duplicate is within 120 feet of you, you can use your action to reduce it to 0 hit points and gain temporary hit points equal to the amount lost.

**Suppression.** The duplicate is invisible until it attacks or until its concentration ends.

**Teleportation.** If the duplicate is within 120 feet of you, you can use your action to reduce it to 0 hit points and teleport to where it was. Once a duplicate gains a feature, you can't create a duplicate with that feature until that duplicate vanishes.

#### Legacy of All 
At 17th level, you have ceased to differentiate yourself from yourself, all of you are you. You regain all your expended uses of Body of a Hundred when you finish a short or long rest.

Additionally, when you create a duplicate, you can replace the tool proficiency that it gained from Mind of a Hundred with another tool proficiency.

## Rogue Subclass
### Ruffian Roguish Archetype
Not all rogues rely on stealth and deception to overcome their foes. Some, often called Ruffians, prefer to face their enemies directly, and look to defeat their foes with devastating blows and intimidating combat techniques. Often employed as hired muscle for thieves' guilds, criminal syndicates, and other organizations that don't shy away from force, Ruffians can be found in almost any village, city, or town where crime exists.

#### Ruffian Features
| Rogue Level | Feature |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 3rd | Enforcer, Shake Down |
| 9th | Imposing Glance, Nerves of Steel |
| 13th |Dodge and Counter	|
| 17th | Critical Strike  |

### Enforcer
You have adopted tricks not often employed by rogues. Starting at 3rd level, you gain the following features:

* You can use your Sneak Attack with any weapon in which you are proficient, including unarmed strikes, so long as it does not have the heavy or two-handed properties.
* You can use your Cunning Action to make a grapple attack or an unarmed strike as a bonus action on your turn.
* You don't need advantage on your attack roll to use your Sneak Attack if you are targeting a creature that is currently grappled or restrained by you.

### Shake Down
Your work requires certain skills, skills that you have become particularly reliable in employing. Starting at 3rd level, when you make a Charisma (Intimidation) check, or a Strength (Athletics) check to grapple, maintain a grapple, or shove a creature, you treat a roll of 7 or lower on the d20 as an 8.

\columnbreak

### Imposing Glance
You can strike fear into the hearts of the weak willed. Starting at 9th level, you can use a bonus action to make a Charisma (Intimidation) check against a target within 30 feet of you, contested by the target's Wisdom (Insight) check. If you succeed, the target is frightened of you until the start of your next turn, and you have advantage on the first attack roll you make against that target before the start of your next turn.

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 short or long rest.

### Nerves of Steel
Fear is a weapon to be used against cowards and the weak willed, and you are not so easily intimidated. Beginning at 9th level, you are immune to the frightened condition.

### Dodge and Counter
You can twist the force of your enemies' blows against them. Starting at 13th level, when a Large or smaller creature within your reach misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to force them to make a Dexterity saving throw. The save DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice).

On a failed save, you choose weather the creature is knocked prone or grappled by you. You must have at least one free hand in order to grapple a creature with this feature.

### Ruthless Strike
You can draw upon a creature's fear of you to strike with ruthless efficiency. Beginning at 17th level, when you hit a creature that is frightened of you with a weapon attack, you can choose to treat the attack as an automatic critical hit.

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 short or long rest.

#### These thugs are the ones most likely to sneak into your house, smash your things and then wake you up by breaking your legs.

# Primal Characters
Through passed on teachings and interacting with the environment and practice of wisdom is it learned. Primal Magic is executed by saying chants and rituals to cast druidic spells. Rangers and Druids may contact spirits around them to be able to manifess stronger nature magic.

Some contact nature spirits of left behind magic still present in the world. While some druids and rangers learn to draw their power from the Primal Magic present in their surroundings and environment. Such is the reason why most of these classes avoid cities as most things there are man-made and Primal magic is lacking.

## Druid Subclass

### Circle of the Spiritlords
Ages ago, nature priests with a greater connection to 
the spirit realm believed the world itself to be formed 
from a group of elemental and primordial spirits, each 
specifically charged to harness one of the major elements 
of creation. This band of tribal druids developed a set 
of ritual practices that allowed them to summon these 
spirits, whose essence now resides in every rock, tree, 
and breath of air, controlling the ebb and flow of nature 
not only in their homeland, but in all lands beyond. This 
order of priests were known as spiritlords.

Spiritlords begin their journey with the rites handed 
down by those before them, specifically, the ritual to 
create a special mask from an ironwood tree. This mask 
allows the spiritlord to play host to the spirit-elementals 
roaming this world.

As the spiritlord grows in power and gains a heightened 
level of attunement to the spirit world, their mask 
transforms along with them, being altered with new 
carvings, ritual paints, and brands that symbolize the 
bond between the druid and the spirits they carry within.

#### Circle of the Spirits Features
| Druid Level  | Feature |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  2nd  | Spirit Bond |
|  6th  | Empowered Conduit |
|  10th  | Vigilant Spirits |
|  14th | Honored Host |

#### Spirit Bond
When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you choose one 
spirit-element to bond with your mask from the Spirit 
Bond table below and you learn the cantrip associated 
with your spirit-element’s feyling conduit, which counts 
as a druid cantrip for you, and doesn’t count against your 
number of cantrips known. You can select one additional 
spirit-element at 6th level and again at 10th level.

Additionally, you can cast the *find familiar spell*, which 
bears features similar to your chosen spirit-element 
(glowing skin, fiery eyes, a thorny tail, etc.). Once you 
cast find familiar using this feature, you can't cast it again 
until you finish a long rest.

You can only have one mask at a time and once this 
bond is formed, you can’t change the spirit-element within 
your mask. If the mask is lost or destroyed, creating 
a new mask for your spirit-element takes 8 hours of 
uninterrupted time, which you can accomplish during a 
long rest.

\columnbreak

#### Empowered Conduit
At 6th level, your mask channels the destructive powers 
of your spirit element. You gain the cantrip in the 
Empowered Conduit column on the Spirit Bond table.

Further, when your connection with the spirit realm 
strengthens enough to host an additional spirit-element, 
you can switch between them with an action. When you 
do, you gain the benefits of the mask's current bond and 
your familiar can take on a similar appearance. No matter 
how many spirits inhabit your mask, you can only ever 
call on the aid of one at a time.

#### Vigilant Spirits
Starting at 10th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to 
the damage you deal with any druid cantrip and, each 
time you switch to a different spirit-element within your 
mask, you gain resistance to that damage type.

#### Honored Host
At 14th level, you have become a beacon for the spirits 
who wish to affect the world through you. You gain access 
to all of the spirit-elements listed on the Spirit Bond 
table, and can switch between them with a bonus action, 
and your spells ignore resistance and immunity to that 
damage type.

#### Feylings are curious manifestations of the remnant magic from the environment or sometimes dead people that live in the Feywild.

#### Even so, these nature spirits are way cuter in-person. No, I'm not talking about you Sirius.

# The Alternate Ranger
Rough and wild looking, a grizzled man silently moves through the forest. He'd been tracking the band of orcish raiders that had crossed into the farmland he protected. Clutching a shortsword in each hand, he leapt out from 
the cover of the forest, preying on the orcs when they topped to rest. In a flash, he became a whirl of steel.

After tumbling away from a blast of freezing air, the thin female elf found her feet and drew her bow, and let loose another arrow at the white dragon. She shrugged off the wave of fear that emanated from the beast, and released her final arrow. With a piercing roar the terrible monster plummeted to the ground and laid motionless.

Holding his hand high, a young dwarf whistled, and the hawk circling high above returned to the side of its master. The dwarf whispered instructions and pointed to the owlbear they'd been tracking. In a blur, the dwarf and hawk moved as one, and before the owlbear could react to the assault, it lay dead at the feet of the warrior.

Far from the bustle of cities and villages, past the hedges that shelter the most distant farms from the terrors of the wild, amid the densely packed trees of trackless forests and across empty plains, rangers keep their unending, and often thankless, watch.

### Deadly Hunters
Warriors of the wilderness, rangers specialize in tracking and hunting the monsters that threaten the edges of civilization; groups of raiders, rampaging beasts, terrible giants, and deadly dragons. They track their quarry as a predator does, moving stealthily through the wilds and 
hiding themselves in brush and rubble. Rangers focus on mastering devastating techniques and styles of combat. 
They often focus these abilities on one creature, aiming to slay their foe before they have a chance to retaliate.

Rangers learn to draw upon the power of the natural world to produce minor spells that enhance their tracking and hunting skills and provide aid and respite to their allies.

### Wild Adventurers
Though a ranger might make a living as a hunter, a guide, or a tracker, their true calling is to defend the outskirts of civilization from the ravages of the wild. In some places, rangers gather in secretive orders or join forces with druidic circles. Many rangers, though, are independent almost to a fault, knowing that, when a dragon or a band of orcs attacks, they may be the first, and possibly last, line of defense.

Their fierce dedication makes rangers well suited to adventuring. Accustomed to life far from the comforts of a dry bed and a hot bath, they make excellent guides for adventuring parties that have no experience in the wild.

\columnbreak

### Creating a Ranger
Consider the nature of your training. Did you train with a mentor, wandering the wilds together, or did you forge a magical connection to nature in your own way? No matter their background, most rangers choose to adventure to impart their knowledge of the wilds on to the next generation, securing the safety of civilization for years to come.

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

***Ability Score Minimum.*** As a multiclass character, you must have at least a 13 in both Dexterity (or Strength) and Wisdom to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a ranger.

***Proficiencies Gained.*** If ranger isn't your initial class, you gain proficiency in light and medium armor, shields, simple and martial weapons, and one skill from the ranger class list.

#### Quick Build
You can make a ranger quickly by using the following suggestions. If you wish to focus on ranged attacks or hunting, make Dexterity your highest ability score, followed by Wisdom. Second, choose the Outlander background.

If you wish to focus more on skirmishing or fighting your foes head-on (like with dual-wielding), make Strength your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the Mercenary background.

### Survivalist Knacks
During your time in the wild you have gathered bits of primal knowledge, known as Survivalist Knacks. These Knacks bolster your exploration, hunting, and tracking skills.

At 1st level, you learn two Knacks of your choice from the list at the end of this class description. As you gain levels in this class, you learn additional Knacks, as shown in the Knacks Known column of the Ranger table. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Knacks you know and replace it with another Knack of your choice.

#### Rangers could easily be seen in a lot of different places. These hunters are very deadly, some even hunt down evil mages and monsters called the Irondahlia in the Empire.

</div></div>

\pagebreakNum

### Wilderness Expert
Your skill as an explorer and survivor are unsurpassed. At 1st level, choose one of the skill proficiencies you gained from the ranger class skill list. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses this proficiency. You also learn to speak, read, and write one additional language of your choice. Most rangers choose to learn a language that is spoken by the enemies they specialize in hunting.

When you reach 10th level in this class, you select another skill you are proficient in from the ranger class skill list to gain the benefits of this feature, and you learn to speak, read, and write one additional language of your choice.

### Favored Foe
Your bond with nature allows you to place a mystical mark on a creature, designating them as your favored foe. Beginning at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend a spell slot to mark the creature as your favored foe. Each time you hit your favored foe with a weapon attack (including the attack used to mark it as a favored foe) you deal additional damage of the attack's damage type.

The extra damage you deal on hit to your favored foe is dependent on the level of the spell slot you expend to mark the target, as indicated in the table below.

The creature remains your favored foe for one hour, or until it is dead. If you mark another creature as your favored foe, the effect immediately ends for the previous creature.

When you reach certain levels in this class, the duration of this ability increases. It becomes 8 hours at 6th level, 24 hours at 14th level, and finally at 18th level, its duration lasts until you mark another creature or the target dies.

| Spellslot  | Damage | Spellslot  | Damage |
|:---:|:-----------:|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1st level  | 1d6 | 3rd level  | 1d10 |
|  2nd level  | 1d8 |  4th level  | 1d12 |

> #### Alternate Ranger & Hunter's Mark
> Favored Foe is designed to replace the ranger's reliance on *hunter's mark*, and the spell has been removed from the Alternate Ranger's spell list.

### Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you gain a Fighting Style from the options below. You cannot take the same Fighting Style more than once.

#### Archery
You are a master marksman, striking from afar. You gain a 
+2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

\columnbreak

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

#### Defense
Your training focused on defending yourself. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to your Armor Class.

#### Druidic Warrior
Your connection to the spirits of nature is stronger than most other rangers. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the druid spell list. They count as ranger spells for you, and Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for them.

When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of these cantrips with another cantrip from the druid spell list.

#### Dueling
You have mastered the art of fighting with a single weapon. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to weapon damage rolls.

#### Mariner
You have trained to fight on, around, and in the water. As long as you are not wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield, you have a swimming speed equal to your movement speed, and you gain a +1 bonus to your Armor Class.

#### Thrown Weapon Fighting
You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon.

In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll.

#### Two Weapon Fighting
When engaging in two-weapon fighting, you make your additional attack with your off hand weapon as part of your Attack action, adding your ability modifier to the damage.

#### Unarmed Fighting
Your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier. If you aren't wielding a weapon or shield when you make the attack, the d6 becomes a d8.

In addition, at the start of each of your turns, you can deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to one creature grappled by you.

#### Versatile Fighting
You can increase the size of one wapon die (for example from a d8 to a d10) for a weapon you are wielding (up to a d12). This stacks with the increase granted by the Versatile property.

\pagebreakNum

### Spellcasting
By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to draw upon the magical essence present in nature to cast spells, much as a druid or shaman does. See chapter 11 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting, and the end of this class description for the ranger spell list.

#### Preparing and Casting Spells
The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. To cast one of your ranger spells of 1st-level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of ranger spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the ranger spell list. When you do so, choose a number of ranger spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your ranger level, rounded down. The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level ranger, you have four 
1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd-level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest.

#### Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your ranger spells, since your magic draws on your intimate relationship with nature. 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 ranger spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

**Spell save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

**Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

#### Spellcasting Focus
You can use a druidic focus as a spellcasting focus for your ranger spells. See chapter 5, of the Player’s Handbook for a list of things that count as druidic foci.

#### Ritual Casting
Your knowledge of the natural world allows you to draw out its magic. You can cast a ranger spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

\columnbreak

### Ranger Archetype
At 3rd level, you choose your ranger archetype from the following: Beast Master, Hunter, Spellbreaker, and Wrangler each of which is detailed at the end of the class description.

The official archetypes (Gloom Stalker, Horizon Walker, Monster Slayer, Fey Wanderer, and Swarmkeeper) all work as published with the Alternate Ranger class presented here.

Your ranger archetype grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 7th, 11th, and 15th level.

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

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

#### Feral Senses
Your enhanced senses allow you to strike with perfect accuracy. Starting at 18th level, your attack rolls against creatures within 30 feet cannot be made at disadvantage.

#### Foe Slayer
You have become an unparalleled hunter of your enemies. 
At 20th level, when you hit a creature marked as your favored foe with a weapon attack you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1).

### Survivalist Knacks
Below are the Knacks available to a ranger. If a Knack has a prerequisite, like your ranger level or another Knack, you can learn it at the same time that you meet the prerequisites.

#### Alpine Adept
Prerequisite: 6th level ranger 
You are amazingly surefooted. You gain a 30 foot climbing speed, and you can use your reaction to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to your ranger level.

If you already have a climbing speed from another feature, your climbing speed increases by 10 feet.

#### Aquatic Adept
Prerequisite: 6th level ranger 
You have learned to move through the water like the swiftest creatures of the sea. You gain a 30 foot swimming speed, and you can hold your breath for up to 1 hour while underwater.

If you already have a swimming speed from another feature, your swimming speed increases by 10 feet.

## Ranger Subclass
### Beast Master
Rangers who develop intense bonds of trust with the wild have been known to attract the attention of guardian nature spirits known as primal beasts. These shapeshifting defenders of the wilderness join forces with rangers that they perceive as worthy. Primal beasts fight side by side with their partner, taking the best shape to face the challenges at hand.

### Primal Companion
At 3rd level, you gain a primal beast companion with marks that indicate its mystical origin. It is friendly to you and obeys your commands. You choose the form it takes, selecting one of the stat blocks below: Beast of the Cave, Beast of the Land, Beast of the Sea, or Beast of the Sky. The stat block uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

In combat, your primal beast acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you used your bonus action to command it to take an action from its stat block, or another action. . You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command your primal beast to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, your primal beast takes any action it chooses.

If your primal beast has died within the last hour, you can touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st-level or higher. After 1 minute, it returns to life with all its hit points restored.

When you finish a long rest, you can cause your primal beast to take on a new form, choosing a new stat block and appearance. Your primal beast vanishes if you die.

#### Beast Master Magic
You gain certain spells at the ranger levels noted in the Beast Master Spells table. They count as ranger spells for you, you always have them prepared, but they don't count against the total number of spells you can prepare each day.

| Beast Master  | Spells |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  3rd  | beast bond, speak with animals |
|  5th  | beast sense, warding bond |
|  9th  | haste, protection from energy |
|  13th  | death ward, freedom of movement |
|  17th  | awaken, commune with nature |

\pagebreakNum

#### Exceptional Training
The bond between you and your primal beast has grown. Starting at 7th level, both you and your primal beast can use your reaction to grant the other advantage on any saving a they are forced to make, so long as you can see each other.

Also, your primal beast's attacks count as magical for the sake of overcoming resistances to non-magical attacks.

#### Bestial Fury
Your presence inspires primal fury within your companion. Beginning at 11th level, when you command your primal beast to take the Attack action, it can make two attacks with its natural weapons as part of the same action.

#### Primal Bond
The connection between primal beast and ranger has reached its apex. Starting at 15th level, when you cast a spell targeting yourself, you can choose to grant your primal beast the effects of the spell, without expending an additional spell slot, as long as they are within 30 feet of you.

In addition, your primal beast can change its form at the end of a short or long rest.

## Ranger Subclass

### Nightstalker Archetype
The Nightstalker archetype emulates a unique form of shadow magic, used to create shadowy familiars to accompany you in battle. By walking this path, you learn to use your shadow familiar like an extension of yourself, using them like a weapon as you stalk through the dim forests and vast plains of the world, searching for your prey. Your choice of familiar defines your style of fighting, with each familiar playing a different role on the hunt

#### Nightstalker Features
| Ranger Level  | Feature |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  3rd  | Shadow Familiar, Nightstalker Magic |
|  7th  | Shadowy Transposition |
|  11th  | Dark Sentinel |
|  15th | Midnight Bulwark |

#### Shadow Familiar 
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to summon a creature of shadow to serve you. As a bonus action on your turn, you can conjure or dismiss your shadow familiar, which takes the form of a spectral creature that cannot be targeted or damaged. You choose the form you can create when you select this subclass.

When you conjure your shadow familiar, it appears in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. As long as it is conjured, you can forgo one or more of your attacks when you use the Attack action to have your shadow familiar make attacks of its own, which use your Ranger spell attack modifier for their attack rolls, have a reach of 5 feet, and trigger any spells or features that would trigger from your own weapon attacks (such as Hunter’s Mark).

\columnbreak

The familiar makes one melee weapon attack for each attack you forgo. While within 120 ft of your familiar, you can command it to move (no action required). The speeds and attacks of the three forms are listed below.

***Cat.*** This form has a walking speed of 30 feet. On a hit, its attack deals 1d4 + your Wisdom modifier slashing damage, and causes the next attack made against the target by a creature other than you or the cat before the end of your next turn to be made at advantage.

***Raven.*** This form has a flying speed of 90 feet, and a walking speed of 10 feet. On a hit, its attack deals 1d10 + your Wisdom modifier piercing damage.

***Wolf.*** This form has a walking speed of 40 feet. On a hit, its attack deals 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier piercing damage, and causes its target to have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.

#### Nightstalker Magic 
Also at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, based on the form you chose above, as shown in the Nightstalker Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but doesn’t count against your spells known.

#### Shadowy Transposition 
Starting at 7th level, whenever you cast a ranger spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose to swap locations with your familiar immediately before or after casting the spell.

#### Dark Sentinel 
At 11th level, whenever a creature leaves the reach of your shadow familiar, you can use your reaction to have it make an attack against that creature. The disengage action and other effects that prevent opportunity attacks prevent this reaction.

#### Midnight Bulwark 
Beginning at 15th level, whenever a creature within reach of your shadow familiar makes an attack against you, you can use your reaction to have the familiar make an attack against that creature.

Additionally, whenever you command your familiar to make an attack using your reaction and the attack hits, the target’s speed is reduced to 0 until the end of the target’s current turn.

#### Should you meet one, be sure to take note of the shadow's form as the shape of the familiar will tell you about the Nightstalker's favored tactics.
