Pryxis's Archetype Portfolio
\pagebreak # Pryxis's Archetype Portfolio The following document lists a collection of brand new subclasses available on the magically and technologically advanced world of Pryxis. These subclasses present a wide variety of abilities and features not normally accessible to creatures outside of the world of Pryxis. Additionally, presented before each class listing is a list of new optional class features - intended to add nuance, ability and agency to the classes they coincide with. Accessibility to firearms, high magic, and the presence of godlike entities are facts amongst the populace of Pryxis. Keep these realities in mind when addressing the subclasses.

*This world is vast and wondrous, with the people to reflect it's unique qualities. Every aspect of our lives is driven by magic and technology - a luxury very few ever have the privilege of experiencing.* -- **Pryxis**
\columnbreak > ##### Regarding Optional Features > Presented within this PDF is a plethora of optional class features that can add new abilities and strengths to each respective class. > > Many of these optional features are powerful abilities, and as such, one should consider limiting the optional class features to characters who strictly train in a single class. This gives incentive to players who choose to remain dedicated to non-multiclassing. > > Alternatively, one could allow each feature to be taken as a feat to be learned in lieu of full class limitability.

Artificers treat mastery of magic like a technical skill. They see patterns in energy and matter, and they understand how to manipulate the flow of magic in and around objects and creatures. Artificers channel energy into items using magical components, diagrams, and complex chains of sigils. Their skills let them assemble a magic device for any situation. An artificer on an adventure is likely to be overly cautious when delving into dungeons, but mixed with a ravenous curiousity of the possible magical traps and objects that lay within. Most of the time, in an artificer's mind, a bit of arcane lore is just as valuable as a pile of treasure, because that arcane lore may open new secrets with which they can create magic items, perhaps even the knowledge of how to create a sentient item, a truer form of immortality for an artificer there is not. The following sections explore certain facets of what it means to be an artificer, which you can use to add depth to your character. ### First Invention The ultimate subject of your artificing area of expertise is expressed with your specialisation, but most artificers had their first spark of eccentric brilliance in something somewhat more modest... or at least a good bit less useful. Regardless of its utility, many artificers will remember fondly the first time they mocked the laws of possibility by creating something that defied conventional rationality and shocked their peers. Perhaps you still carry it around, or you've left it behind, or you've lost it and check every pawn shop and black market to see if it will turn back up. | d6 | Invention | |:----|:----| | 1 | A pocketwatch that not only works, but made your hair change colour slightly every hour on the hour. The secondary functionality was intentional. You swear. | | 2 | A mechanical cat that actually worked, and came to life. Of course, it acts like a cat. | | 3 | A crossbow that fired four bolts at once in a lethal barrage. Unfortunately, usually not at anything you were aiming at. The butcher still hasn't forgiven you. | | 4 | A mechanical head imbued with divination magic to serve as an oracle, unfortunately it was a little too authentic and answers only in indecipherable riddles. | | 5 | A potion that disguised your identity - it was perfect. You may still be trying to figure out how to undo that one and return to your original appearance. | | 6 | A finely worked astrolabe of astonishing precision and craftsmanship. | \columnbreak
### Methodology One of the things that defines any artificer is why they do what they do. No matter how peculiar their path was, no one ends up an artificer on accident. More than just how they define their relationship with their work, frequently an artificer's methodology defines their relationship with the world... and just as often the world's relationship with them. How do you decide what to work on, and how to do work on it once you've decided? While it is often advisable to spend some time thinking about this subject, below are some ideas that may start you down your path, or if you really want to leave it in the hands of fate, you can simply roll on the table. | d6 | Method | |:----|:----| | 1 | You dedicate your successes and failures to a god of the forge or craft, so you follow your intuition as they provide it. | | 2 | You meddle with the very laws of magic, no one can predict exactly what will work. You throw ideas at the wall until something sticks - sometimes literally. | | 3 | You start with a plan, and finish with a plan, but never the same one. | | 4 | When something works, you immediately take it apart just to see if you can recreate it reliably. | | 5 | You put things together in ways that shouldn't work just to see if they do. Strangely, sometimes it works. | | 6 | You work carefully, planning each step extensively on record to ensure that you get it right the first time.|
\pagebreakNum ### Fierce Rivalries Almost every artificer has a rival, most often another artificer who they seek to outdo at every turn. These intense rivalries are the sole motivation of some artificers, and outdoing their rival is more valuable than any fame or riches they could gain from their discoveries. Many are willing to risk everything they have to achieve a new breakthrough before their rival. By the same token, artificers with similar philosophies and aims often band together in loose artisan's guilds. They share insights and discoveries, hoping to keep ahead of rival guilds by pooling resources and working as a team. However, even when working together, most artificers are protective of any insights they think could lead to a groundbreaking discovery. The following table offers suggestions for the association or individual of whom you share a rivalry - or even a begrudging respect or partnership with.
> ##### Rivals: Friends & Foils > Many rivalries that artificers develop over their lives have the potential to become some of the greatest foes that present grand challenges that an artificer must overcome. > > However, in times of extreme need, or in the case of "the enemy of my enemy"; a rival artificer may become one of the most steadfast allies with the intention to defend a fellow inventor - but almost always with a cost. \columnbreak | d6 | Rival | |:----|:----| | 1 | An individual from your early life grew up alongside you - learning and copying your every move and continuously seeks to outdo you. | | 2 | A previous mentor or teacher became envious of your intuitive ambition, and now attempts to besmirch your name and deeds. | | 3 | One of your creations garnered negative attention from your peers, and as such you have been seen as a disgraced inventor. | | 4 | You and another artificer were taught by the same mentor, and set to work together to overcome the same goal - sometimes with incredible friction. | | 5 | The community you grew up in continuously doubted your ability - a belief that fuels and drives you to prove them wrong. | | 6 | An old friend (or lover) taught you everything you know, but your ideologies conflicted with theirs - as such, you have set out on your own. |
\pagebreakNum ## Artificer Features You gain class features in the *Player's Handbook* when you reach certain levels in your class. This section offers additional features that you can gain as an artificer. Unlike the features in the *Player's Handbook*, you don't gain the features here automatically. Consulting with your DM, you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the level requirement noted in the feature's description. These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use one, both, or none of them. ### Common Replication *2nd-level artificer feature* ___ You gain the ability to utilize the effects of the "Replicate Magic Item" infusion to replicate an item of your choice from the Common Magic Items table in *Xanathar's Guide to Everything* without counting it against your maximum number of artificer Infusions. These are known as Common Replications. You must have 100gp worth of materials and an object that fulfills the requirements for the chosen Common Magic Item to create the object from scratch, and it takes a cumulative number of hours equal to **1d20 - your Intelligence Modifier** (minimum 1) to craft it. You cannot begin another Common Replication while another is still incomplete. You still may choose to spend an Infusion to create an additional Common Item as per usual. You are able to create an additional Common Replication when you reach level 6, level 10, level 14, and level 20 in the artificer class. ### Infusion Fusion *3rd-level artificer feature* ___ Whenever you finish a long rest, you may touch an object currently under the effects of one of your Artificer Infusions to add additional effects to the infused item. Choose an item from the Common Magic Items and a Minor Property (DMG p143) to be blended into the Infused Item. The Infused Item now exhibits the traits and effects of the chosen Common Magic Item (so long as it may meet the object requirements for that item to function as stated - at DM's discretion) and the Minor Property. If the Common Magic Item effect would normally require attunement, it does not when applied to your Infused Item. These effects last within the Infused Item until you replace the Infusion. You can only affect one Infused Item in this way at a time.
\pagebreakNum ## Common Magic Items The following section lists common magic items that are available for an artificer to replicate - through their "Infuse Item", "Common Replication", and "Infusion Fusion" features.

\pagebreakNum ## Artificer Infusions Artificer infusions are extraordinary processes that rapidly turn a nonmagical object into a magic item. The description of each of the following infusions details the type of object that can receive it, along with whether the resulting magic item requires attunement. Some infusions specify a minimum artificer level. You can't learn such an infusion until you are at least that level, and you can learn the infusion at the same time that you meet the prerequisites. Unless an infusion's description says otherwise, you can't learn an infusion more than once. If an infusion would be destroyed or rendered deactivated permanently by any means (such as a replicated magic item disintegrating after all charges expended) you may choose to unlearn that infusion or recreate the infusion - but must follow the rules for creating it as per usual. ***"Replicate Magic Items" is found at the end of this pdf*** ### 2nd-level Infusions These infusions are available at level 2. #### Adjustable Tool Set *Item: a set of artisan's tools (requires attunement)* The wielder is considered proficient with this magical set of tools, and as an action, they can transform this set of tools into another set of artisan's tools of their choice. #### Arcane Implement *Item: A rod or wand* This tiny length of wood is infused with an artificer cantrip of your choice. As an action, a creature can produce the imbued cantrip, using your spellcasting modifier to cast the spell. At 10th level, you may store two cantrips within the object at a time. \columnbreak #### Arm Launcher *Item: A glove or gauntlet* This tiny magical launcher can be loaded with a Tiny object (for example: ball bearings, a vial of acid, alchemist's fire, or holy water). As a bonus action the wearer can activate the launcher and make a ranged attack at a target within 60 feet. The launcher can be reloaded as an action. At 10th level, the range of the launcher doubles. #### Armor of Magical Strength *Item: A suit of armor (requires attunement)* This armor has 6 charges. The wearer can expend the armor's charges in the following ways: - When the wearer makes a Strength check or a Strength saving throw, it can expend 1 charge to add a bonus to the roll equal to its Intelligence modifier. - If the creature would be knocked prone, it can use its reaction to expend 1 charge to avoid being knocked prone. The armor regains 1d6 expended charges daily at dawn. #### Armor of Tools *Item: A suit of armor* As an action, a creature wearing this infused armor can integrate into it artisan’s tools or thieves’ tools. The tools remain integrated in the armor for 8 hours or until the wearer removes the tools as an action. The armor can have only one tool integrated at a time. The wearer can add its Intelligence modifier to any ability checks it makes with the integrated tool. The wearer must have a hand free to use the tool. #### Enhanced Arcane Focus *Item: A rod, staff or wand (requires attunement)* While holding this item, a creature gains +1 bonus to spell attack rolls. In addition, the creature ignores half cover when making a spell attack. The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class.
\pagebreakNum
#### Enhanced Defense *Item: A suit of armor or a shield* A creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class while wearing (armor) or wielding (shield) the infused item. The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class. #### Enhanced Instrument *Item: a musical instrument (requires attunement)* This instrument has been magically enhanced by artifice. The wielder is considered proficient with this instrument and can use it as a spellcasting focus.

At 10th level this magic instrument grants a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls. This bonus increases to +2 at 14th level. #### Enhanced Weapon *Item: A simple or martial weapon* This magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class. #### Featherweight Belt *Item: A belt or cloak (requires attunement)* When worn, this magic belt reduces the user to one-tenth of their weight without decreasing their physical abilities. At 10th level it reduces the wearer to one-hundredth of their weight without decreasing their physical abilities. #### Featherweight Weapon *Item: A heavy or two-handed weapon (requires attunement)* This magic weapon no longer has either the heavy or two-handed property (your choice upon infusion). At 10th level this weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. This bonus becomes +2 at 14th level. \columnbreak
#### Gauntlet of Utility *Item: A glove or gauntlet* This gauntlet is affixed with a series of inscribed runic cogs, gears, sprockets, and tubes that tick harmoniously within one another and show a clock-like display. The display shows the current time of day and relative elevation (in relation to sea level) of the wearer, and functions as both an abacus for calculations and a compass. Additionally, while wearing this object, a creature can cast the *prestidigitation* cantrip. At 10th level, the gauntlet functions as a *Sending Stone* and can produce a small hand device that acts as it's paired *Sending Stone*. #### Goggles of Clearsight *Item: A pair of goggles or glasses* While wearing these goggles, the wearer can see through lightly obscured areas without disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks. In addition, the wearer no longer suffers the negative effects from the Sunlight Sensativity trait, and they have advantage on saving throws to resist being blinded. At 10th level, you gain blindsight out to 30 feet. #### Helm of Sharp Senses *Item: A helmet (requires attunement)* The wearer of this helmet gains a bonus to its Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks equal to your Intelligence modifier. This may stack with your own modifier if you are the one wearing it. At 10th level, you gain advantage on all Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks.
\pagebreakNum
#### Homunculus Servant *Item: A gem or crystal worth at least 100 gp* You learn intricate methods for magically creating a special homunculus that serves you. The item you infuse serves as the creature's heart, around which the creature's body instantly forms. You determine the homunculus's appearance. Some artificers prefer mechanical-looking birds, whereas some like winged vials or miniature, animate cauldrons. The homunculus is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Homunculus Servant stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. In combat, the homunculus shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the homunculus can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. The homunculus regains 2d6 hit points if the mending spell is cast on it. If you or the homunculus dies, it vanishes, leaving its heart in its space. \columnbreak

Hit: 1d4 + PB force damage. > > ### Reactions > > ***Channel Magic.*** The homunculus delivers a spell you cast that has a range of touch. The homunculus must be within 120 feet of you.
\pagebreakNum #### Mind Sharpener *Item: A suit of armor or robes* The infused item can send a jolt to the wearer to refocus their mind. The item has 4 charges. When the wearer fails a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, the wearer can use its reaction to expend 1 of the item's charges to succeed instead.

If you load no ammunition in the weapon, it produces its own, automatically creating one piece of magic ammunition when you make a ranged attack with it. The ammunition created by the weapon vanishes the instant after it hits or misses a target. The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level. \columnbreak #### Returning Weapon *Item: A simple or martial weapon with the thrown property (requires attunement)* This magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it, and it returns to the wielder’s hand immediately after it is used to make a ranged attack. When you reach 10th level, you can make a ranged attack with the weapon as a bonus action. #### Tactician's Amulet *Item: An amulet or pendant* While wearing this amulet, a creature can choose to use its Intelligence modifier in place of its Dexterity modifier when rolling for initiative. #### Truncheon of Obscuring *Item: A rod, staff, or wand* While holding this object, a creature can cast the *fog cloud* spell twice per short or long rest. At 10th level, a creature can cast the *stinking cloud* spell once per long rest.
\pagebreakNum ### 6th-level Infusions These infusions are available at level 6. #### Arcane Visor **Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer**
*Item: A pair of goggles or glasses (requires attunement)* A creature wearing this visor can cast the *detect magic* spell at will. Additionally, while wearing this visor a creature can cast *identify* without expending a spell slot or material components. Once this ability has been used, it can't be used again until the next dawn. At 14th level, you can now cast the *identify* spell at will. #### Auto-Carriage **Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer**
*Item: A land vehicle, such as a carriage or cart* The vehicle no longer needs horses or other steeds to pull it, it can now propel itself. The vehicle has a speed of 50 feet. A creature on or inside the vehicle can give it a simple command in a language you speak such as "go straight", "turn left" or "follow this road" as an action. The vehicle will follow the given command provided it is simple enough. At 14th level, the vehicle's speed increases to 100 feet. #### Boots of the Winding Path **Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer**
*Item: A pair of boots (requires attunement)* While wearing these boots, a creature can teleport up to 15 feet as a bonus action to an unoccupied space the creature can see. The creature must have occupied that space at some point during the current turn. At 14th level, the distance of your teleport increases to 30 feet. #### Hazy Garments **Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer**
*Item: A set of clothing or robes (requires attunement)* The wearer if this set of garments is coated with an illusory mist that deceives the eye. A creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class while wearing these garments. Additionally, as a reaction the wearer may intensify the mist. For 1 minute, the wearer can move freely without provoking opportunity attacks. Once this ability has been used, it can't be used again until the next dawn. The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 14th level in this class. #### Immovable Boots **Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer**
*Item: A pair of boots (requires attunement)* When the wearer is standing upon a flat surface, they can use an action to activate the boots, magically fixing the user in place. Until they use an action to deactivate the boots, they do not move or falter in positioning, even if they are defying gravity. A creature can use an action to make a DC 30 Strength check, separating the boots from the surface on a success. \columnbreak #### Light Blade **Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer**
*Item: A sword hilt or wand (requires attunement)* While grasping the item, the wielder can use a bonus action to cause a blade of pure radiance to spring into existence, or disappear, from the end of the item. While the blade exists, this magic item is a simple weapon with the finesse property. The luminous blade emits bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet. The light is sunlight. The wielder gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon, which deals 1d8 radiant damage on hit. Undead take an additional 1d8 radiant damage. The bonus to attack and damage rolls becomes +2 at 14th level. #### Magic Bomb **Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer**
*Item: A throwable vessel such as a bottle, flask, jar, or urn* You infuse implosive power into an object which you can throw. You are proficient with these bombs. As an action, you or any creature holding the Magic Bomb can throw it up to 60 feet away. Upon collision with any object or creature the magic bomb detonates affecting all creatures, objects, and structures in 20 foot radius. Each creature in this radius must make a Constitution save taking 2d6 thunder damage and 2d6 force damage and be pulled up to 10 feet towards where the magic bomb landed on a failed save or half as much damage and not pulled on a successful save. Objects & structures take double damage, and objects that aren't being held automatically fail this saving throw and fly to the center of the implosion. At 10th level the damage increases to 3d6 thunder and 3d6 force. You make a number of magic bombs equal to half your proficiency bonus rounded up, and at the conclusion of a short rest you can remake 1 magic bomb.
\pagebreakNum #### Many-Handed Pouch **Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer**
*Item: 2–5 bags, pouches or satchels* The infused pouches all share one interdimensional space that functions as a demiplane that can carry 50lbs per pouch. Thus, reaching into any of the pouches allows access to the same storage space. A pouch operates as long as it is within 100 miles of another one of the pouches; the pouch is otherwise empty and won’t accept any contents.

*Item: A waterborne vehicle, such as a boat or ship* The vehicle gains a flying speed equal to its normal movement speed. Additionally, upon infusing the vehicle, you are designated as the helmsman. When acting as the helmsman, you are in full control of the direction the Skyship is moving (forwards, backwards, left, right, up, down, or some variation thereof), but you must have the necessary means of locomotion necessary for the vehicle to move normally. For example, if it operates on sails - it must have sails at full mast, or if it functions on rowing - there must be a proper number of crew manning the rowing deck, if the vehicle functions through some means of fuel - it must have fuel currently being utilized and it will still consume said fuel. At any point in time, you may utilize an action to transfer the status of Helmsman to another willing creature.

\pagebreakNum ## Artificer Specialties At 3rd level, an artificer gains the Artificer Specialist feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: *Aviator*, *Mechaneer* and *Spellsword*. ### Aviator
*There's a certain respect that you must give to the artificers who rely upon technology to reach new heights.* -- **Pryxis**
The dream of flight has dwelt in the thoughts of many who are cursed with only the use of their feet. Mages may have discovered way to magically imbue themselves with flight, but some Artificers have taken a much bolder and intuitive approach to solve the problem. #### Aviator Magic You always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Aviator Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare. ##### Aviator Spells | Artificer Level | Spell | |:---:|:-----------| | 3rd | *expeditious retreat, feather fall* | | 5th | *gust of wind, warding wind* | | 9th | *conjure barrage, thunder step* | | 13th | *freedom of movement, storm sphere* | | 17th | *flame strike, steel wind strike* | \columnbreak #### Tool Proficiency *3rd-level Aviator feature* You gain proficiency with Leatherworker's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice. #### Flightpack *3rd-level Aviator feature* You've built a wearable device that grants you the gift of flight. As a bonus action, you can activate the flightpack and use its features. The flightpack is attached to you, can only be used by you, and can't be removed by another creature unless you're incapacitated. It has an AC equal to your spell save DC. When it is hit with an attack, you must make an Intelligence saving throw with a DC equal to half the damage taken or 10 (whichever is higher). On a success, you maintain your flight and on a failure, you fall 60 feet per round, repeating the save at the beginning of each of your turns. The Flightpack has a number of charges equal to 1 + half your artificer level (rounded down, min. 1). Activating the flightpack uses 1 charge and it stays active for 1 minute. Once 1 minute has passed, the charge is depleted at the end of your turn. You can choose to expend another charge to keep using your flightpack once a charge is depleted, no action required. If you have no charges, or choose not to use another, you fall 60 feet per round. You regain 1 charge every hour, and all charges at the end of a long rest. While your flightpack is active, you gain the following features: **Fly.** You gain a fly speed of 30 feet. **Jet.** You can expend 1 charge (one that you aren't using to maintain flight) to use the dash action. When you use the dash action in this way, you can move up to 100 feet in a straight line. You must move the entire 100 feet before taking any other actions. **Honing Missles.** You can expend 1 charge (one that you aren't using to maintain flight) to cast *magic missile* at 1st level. This spell is an artificer spell for you. You can use this ability to cast *magic missile* at a higher level as you gain artificer levels. 2nd level as a 5th level artificer, 3rd level as a 9th level artificer, 4th level as a 13th level artificer, and 5th level as a 17th level artificer.
\pagebreakNum #### Booster Attachment *5th-level Aviator feature* You've improved the energy output of your flightpack and made it more efficient through additional components to aid you without depleting its resources. While wearing your flightpack, your fly speed is doubled, your jet distance is increased by 50 feet, and you can make a long jump up to 30 feet without a running start, and a high jump of up to 30 feet. Additionally, you can fall 100 feet without taking any damage. #### Dogfighter *9th-level Aviator feature* While flying, you have advantage on melee and spell attack rolls against other flying creatures. #### Rocketeer *15th-level Aviator feature* The amazing speed at which you can propel yourself with your flightpack can now be weaponized. Your fly speed is now tripled, and your Jet distance is increased by an additional 50 feet. Additionally, when you use your Jet ability, you can choose to activate a magical barrier of destructive force that surrounds you. Any creature within 5 feet of the path you dash across must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, each creature takes 4d10 magical bludgeoning damage and half as much on a successful save. This magical barrier also allows you to propel yourself through matter. This ability can propel you through 20 feet of liquid or gelatinous material, 15 feet of soft material such as fabric or sand, 10 feet of wood or fibrous material, 5 feet of reinforced wood, and 1 foot of stone or metal.
\pagebreakNum ### Mechaneer
*One must admit: Sometimes the ingenuity of artificers is both astounding and terrifying. These technological titans will one day lead the world once all magic has faded from memory.* -- **Pryxis**
Mechaneers are the Artificers who neglect their own power and prefer to focus their mind power on their engineering skills, using their arcane powers to fuel their creations. While they may lack the hands-on combat prowess of other artificers, their *Mechs* are known for their incredible capabilities, and are only limited by their creator's ingenuity. #### Tool Proficiency *3rd-level Mechaneer feature* You gain proficiency with Mechaneer's Tools - which is a 15lb set of complicated construction tools and calibration equipment that function as both smith's tools and tinker's tools. These tools are unique to your subclass, and may be used for your artificer features. #### Multitasking *3rd-level Mechaneer feature* Your focus on engineering skills did not help you learn new spells, but it certainly did help your ability to fuel more inventions with arcane force. You increase the amount of infusions you can have active at the same time by 1. #### MechTech *3rd-level Mechaneer feature* You manage to complete crafting your first Mech. See its base statistics in the following Mech stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus **(PB)** and your Intelligence Modifier **(INT)** in several places. You determine the Mech’s appearance, but your choice has no effect on its game statistics. When you create your first mech, you choose a number between 1 and 3, you lose max hp equal to the number chosen × your artificer level as you pour your life force into the raw magic necessary to power it - this is referred to as your Life Force **(LF)** number. Every mech that you create gains additional hp equal to this number, and you may choose a different number each time you create a Mech. This effect cannot be reversed unless your mech is destroyed - in which case you regain the lost hp as the life force is drawn back. At the end of a long rest, you can create a new Mech if you have your Mechaneer's Tools with you. Once you create a Mech, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. You can have only one Mech created at any time. \columnbreak

\pagebreakNum ##### Mech Weapons Whenever you create your Mech, you choose one of the Mech Weapons in the list below to be installed on it. These require an action to be used. Attacks made with these weapons use your PB + Int on attack rolls, and only your Int on damage rolls. Mech Weapons can be changed at the end of a long rest.

##### Cockpit The cockpit is made to fit medium and small creatures, and only one can be inside it at a time. To enter it, you must not be wearing medium, heavy armor or shields. You can spends half your movement speed to enter or to exit the Mech. While inside the cockpit, the pilot has full cover, except against effects and spells that affect the mind. And any other creature that gets on top of it (if smaller than the mech, the creature can use the “Climb Onto a Bigger Creature” rules), can try to remove the pilot, using a contested athletics check. If an effect moves The Mech against your will while you’re on it, you must succeed on a DC 10 Strength saving throw or take 1d6 bludgeoning damage. If your Mech is knocked prone, you must succeed on a DC 10 Strength saving throw or take 2d6 bludgeoning damage. If the Mech is reduced to 0 hit points while you are inside it, you and all creatures within 5 feet of the Mech must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw to avoid the explosion. On a failure, you and all creatures with a 5-foot-radius take 2d12 fire damage, or half as much on a success. If you failed the saving throw, you stay within the same space as the Mech wreckage, if you succeeded, you are ejected up to 10 feet away. \columnbreak ##### Piloting The Mech cannot take actions on its own, and must be piloted to be able to act. While in combat, the Mech has no initiative, and requires you piloting it to act, to pilot it, you must enter its cockpit, while inside, and with both hands free and conscious, you count as piloting the Mech. Any other humanoid creature that enters in the cockpit, can spend their action to attempt to gain control of the mech. The creature must succeed on an Intelligence check with DC equal to 10 + PB + INT modifiers. On a success, the creature assumes control of the mech until the creature is removed from the cockpit or is incapacitated. While piloting it, you can make it move a distance up to its speed on your turn. Other activities, that require actions, bonus actions, or reactions can only be done by you spending your equivalent actions, as the Mech requires the pilot’s input to do so. ##### Customization You learn the ability to infuse your Mech with unique abilities. You can apply the following artificer infusions to your Mech: - *Enhanced Weapon* - *Enhanced Defense* You can only apply 1 infusion to the Mech at a time. This value increases to 2 when you reach 5th level, 3 at 9th level and 4 at 15th level.

The bonus increases to +20 when you reach 10th level in this class. - ***Jump Thrusters.*** - You can spend your bonus action to make the Mech either make a long jump of 15 feet or a high jump of 20 feet.

When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you or your Mech that is within reach, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. - ***Chainsword.*** - Before you make an attack with the *Chainsword*, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll, if you do so and the attack hits, it deals an additional +5 damage. - ***Twin Repeaters.*** - Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on ranged attacks made with the *Twin Repeaters*. Creatures hit by the Twin Repeaters are pushed 5 feet away from your Mech. - ***Siege Cannon..*** - If the Mech has remained in the same space since last turn, attacks made with the *Siege Cannon* are made with advantage, and deal an additional 1d6 damage. -
\columnbreak #### MechWarrior *15th-level Mechaneer feature* You create a backup battery for your Mech which holds 10 chrages. It is fully charged when the Mech is created, and recharges at the end of a long rest. Short rests recharge only 1 charge per hour rested. It can also be recharged by an action by spending a spell slot. The amount of charges recharged is equal to the level of the spellslot spent to recharge it. This battery is used to power the Mega Weapons in the list below:
You can only apply one of these Mega Weapon infusions to your Mech at a time. These new infusions do not count towards your known infusions. If there is a saving throw for any of the following Mega Weapons, the DC is equal to your spellcasting DC.

\pagebreakNum ### Sword Mage
*The earliest form of artificery: the blending of weave and blade - these artificers have chosen to uphold the eons-ancient craft that started it all.* -- **Pryxis**
While some warriors may dabble in magic, and a few mages may train with a blade, none have channeled the innate power of both as completely than the artificers known as Sword Mages. These artificers focus all of their arcane knowledge and technological superiority into magical weaponry and the enhancement of martial prowess through arcane arts - to the betterment of their combat and the protection of allies. #### Sword Mage Magic You always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Sword Mage Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare \columnbreak ##### Sword Mage Spells | Artificer Level | Spell | |:---:|:-----------| | 3rd | *shield, thunderous smite* | | 5th | *cloud of daggers, misty step* | | 9th | *counterspell, thunder step* | | 13th | *dimension door, fire shield* | | 17th | *circle of power, steel wind strike* | #### Tool Proficiency *3rd-level Sword Mage feature* You gain proficiency with Smith's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice. #### Fighting Style *3rd-level Sword Mage feature* 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 something allows you 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. #### Signature Weapon *3rd-level Sword Mage feature* Your tinkering with magical weaponry has led you to have a single weapon which you have poured all your arcanic skill into. At the end of a long rest, choose a magic melee weapon you are holding (this can be a weapon instilled with one of your infusions - which makes it magical). While using this weapon, you gain several benefits: - You are proficient with this weapon, and can use it as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. - When you attack with your signature weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. - Choose one of the following cantrips: *booming blade*, *green-flame blade*, *lightning lure*, or *sword burst* You can cast the chosen spell using the weapon as the focus (These cantrips level with you) - you can only utilize this cantrip when you are holding your signature weapon.
\pagebreakNum #### Swordmage's Aegis *5th-level Sword Mage feature* You instill each of your artificer infusions with a protective tether, ensuring you are always where you need to be. When an ally you can see within 30 feet of you that is wielding at least one of your infused items is hit with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to protect them. When you do so, the damage they take is reduced by an amount equal to half your artificer level (rounded up). As part of the same reaction, you may choose to teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 5 feet of the attacker, and make one melee weapon attack against them. #### Combat Mage *9th-level Sword Mage feature* You have mastered the ability to weave magic into your weapon; striking between spell casting seamlessly, propelling your weapon with arcane power. When you cast a spell with your action, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action. This attack deals an additional 1d8 force damage. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Once you reach 15th level in this class, any target hit with this attack takes an additional 2d8 force damage. #### Spellsmith's Gambit *15th-level Sword Mage feature* The research you have conducted in the fields of magic has taught you powerful spellwork which you can bind into your weapon in times of extreme need. In addition, choose one spell from the following list: *cone of cold*, *chain lightning*, *disintegrate*, *fireball* (as a 5th level spell), *negative energy flood*, or *synaptic static*. You may choose a different spell when you gain a level in this class - this spell can only be used on your signature weapon, and does not count against your number of known artificer spells. As an action, you imbue your weapon with this spell, and then make a single attack with that weapon. If the attack misses, the spell has no effect. If the attack hits, the target takes weapon damage, is subject to the effects of the spell, and has disadvantage on their saving throw against it. If this spell affects an area, the area originates from the target of the weapon attack. Once you use this ability, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
\pagebreakNum ## Barbarian Features You gain class features in the *Player's Handbook* when you reach certain levels in your class. This section offers additional features that you can gain as a barbarian. Unlike the features in the *Player's Handbook*, you don't gain the features here automatically. Consulting with your DM, you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the level requirement noted in the feature's description. These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use some, all, or none of them. \columnbreak ### Tribal Charger *2nd-level barbarian feature* ___ When you and your companions travel across open landscapes (farmland, desert, plains, tundra, etc), you and all members of your group travel at double your pace for 1 hour. Once you utilize this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest. ### Universal Menace *7th-level barbarian feature* ___ Your anger transcends all spoken word. While you are raging, any creature that can understand a language which can hear and see you can understand what you say when you make threats of violence or acts of prowess. You add your rage bonus to any Charisma (Intimidation) and Charisma (Persuasion) checks you make while under the effects of rage. At 15th level, a creature no longer needs to speak a language for you to benefit from this ability - but must still be able to see you.
\pagebreakNum ### Primal Might *9th-level barbarian feature* ___ Your sheer strength defies explanation. Upon gaining this feature, you learn one of the "Primal Actions" listed below. While raging, when you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace an attack with the chosen ability. - **Primal Action Saving Throw:** DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier. You learn an additional Primal Action at 13th level, and you may use a Primal Action in addition to your normal attacks when you take the attack action on your turn. You learn one final Primal Action at 17th level. #### Primal Bellow You loose a terrible war bellow. Each enemy within a 30-foot radius must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or be forced to move 15 away from you out of shock and fear. If a target was concentrating on a spell or feature that requires concentration, if it fails the saving throw, it loses concentration. #### Primal Charge You charge forwards with furious abandon. You run up to half your movement speed in one direction - which does not provoke opportunity attacks. Each enemy within a line 5-feet-wide must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, or take an amount of damage equal to 1d12 + your Rage bonus. The damage type is equal to the damage type of the weapon you currently wield. #### Primal Hurl You hurl a creature you are grappling up to 30 feet in a horizontal direction of your choosing. If the creature impacts a solid surface before traveling the full distance, it takes bludgeoning damage equal to 3d6 + your Rage Bonus and falls prone. #### Primal Leap You leap up to 30 feet in any direction - which does not count against your movement speed. When you land, each creature within 5 feet of you must make a Strength saving throw. If they fail, they take bludgeoning damage equal to double your Rage Bonus, or half as much on a success. Creatures larger than you are unaffected. #### Primal Slam You strike the ground in front of you, creating a shockwave in a 15-foot cone originating from you. Each creature within the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a creature takes bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Rage Bonus, and is knocked prone if it's no more than one size larger than you. Any objects or structures caught in the cone take double damage. #### Primal Tank You clench your body and bring the might of your rage to become a fortifying force. Your Armor Class is increased by your Rage Bonus until the start of your next turn.
\pagebreakNum ## Barbarian Paths At 3rd level, a barbarian gains the Primal Path feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: *Gun Savage*, *Primal Dervish* and *Weave Rager*. ### Gun Savage
*When those with the propensity for both firearms and honed anger enter combat, the sight of their onslaught is as terrifying as it is mesmerizing.* -- **Pryxis**
Although some barbarians are baffled by the technology of firearms, others see these new weapons as tools to enhance their abilities to a new level. Specialists with big two-handed guns, these barbarians are called gun savages, and for good reason. They charge through the battlefield with abandon, unleashing lead on all who stand in their way and sowing fear in their wake. #### Gunsmith *3rd-level Gun Savage feature* You gain proficiency with firearms and Tinker’s Tools. #### Gunner’s Rage *3rd-level Gun Savage feature* You can channel your anger to deadly effect when fighting with a two-handed firearm by entering a gunner’s rage. If you do so, for the duration of your rage you gain the following benefits: - When you attack with a two-handed firearm, you can use your Strength modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier for the attack roll. - Where your Barbarian features apply to melee weapon attacks, they now apply to ranged weapon attacks with two-handed firearms. - You can use the butt of your firearm to make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your turns. A successful attack with the butt of a two-handed firearm deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage plus your Strength modifier. #### Stalwart Defense *6th-level Gun Savage feature* You may use your reaction to turn a critical hit against you into a normal hit while raging. You may use this feature once, and regain expended uses after a short rest. At Level 10, you gain a second use of Stalwart Defense, and at Level 14 you gain a third use. \columnbreak #### Startling Kill *10th-level Gun Savage feature* You are adept at using your firearm to instill fear in others. Whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you may attempt a Charisma (Intimidation) check with advantage as a free action. #### Steelskinned *14th-level Gun Savage feature* Gun Savages are notoriously hard to take down. Starting at 14th level, you may use your reaction to add your Constitution modifier (minimum +1) as a bonus to AC for one round. You may use this ability twice, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. #### Domino Shot *14th-level Gun Savage feature* You may use your attack action to attempt a domino shot. You discharge your firearm, using only a single bullet, but you may make attack rolls against every creature in range in a 60 ft. line. Disadvantage from your weapon’s range categories do not apply to this ability, but the maximum range of your weapon still applies. Make attack rolls in order, from the nearest to the furthest target. Should any attack roll miss, the progress of your domino shot is halted. You may use this ability twice. You regain expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
\pagebreakNum ### Primal Dervish
*A dance without flow, a song without music, the Dervish is an intense ritual as old as time.* -- **Pryxis**
The Primal Dervish is a sight to behold. It is a vicious and violent dance, that has existed for as long as there has been conflict. To tap into the Dervish is to lose yourself in the flow of the pattern. It is a cold rage, a subdued passion, a fury so primal it defies explanation. Suffice to say, those that find themselves within the Dervish are warriors of incredible swiftness and beauty, able to lash out at foes with a grace and speed that no other barbarian can possibly match. #### Bonus Proficiencies *3rd-level Primal Dervish feature* You gain proficiency in either Acrobatics or Performance. #### Dervish *3rd-level Primal Dervish feature* Your Rage becomes a dance of savage fury. You lose the typical benefits of the Rage feature and replace them with the following benefits: - You have advantage on all Dexterity checks and Dexterity saving throws - When you make a melee weapon attack using Dexterity while within 5 feet of your target you gain a bonus to the damage roll that increases as you gain levels as a barbarian, as shown in the Rage Damage column of the Barbarian table. - Your AC is increased by your proficiency bonus. Additionally, your Reckless Attack feature applies to Dexterity based attacks while you are within 5 feet of your target, however you lose the AC bonus granted by your Dervish until the start of your next turn. \columnbreak #### Savage Dance *6th-level Primal Dervish feature* You have learned to perform your dervish while wielding heavier weapons. When you make an attack with a weapon in one hand and nothing in the other hand you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier. Additionally, when you hit with a melee weapon attack while in your Dervish you can immediately make an additional attack against a different target within 5 feet - requiring no additional action. #### Swirling Whirl *10th-level Primal Dervish feature* Starting at 10th level, your every movement becomes lithe and deliberate. You can take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action. Additionally, while in your Dervish you gain a damage threshold equal to your Dexterity bonus. #### Leaping Maniac *14th-level Primal Dervish feature* You charge into combat with a savage leap, impacting with your target. When you move at least 20 feet towards a target in a straight line you can make a single attack against that target as a bonus action. You add a +5 bonus to your leaping attack roll and the attack deals 1d10 bludgeoning damage plus your Rage Damage. Additionally, while in your Dervish you score a critical hit on a 19 or 20.
\pagebreakNum ### Weave Rager
*Some gain magic through the blood, others through study or pacts - but a few harness their anger into magical fury.* -- **Pryxis**
Weave Ragers are those with magic within them; they have forged their fury into magical energy. They use this energy to fuel their battle rage. The devastation they deal is beyond incredible. An ensorcelled rage turns a warrior from engine of destruction to a terrifying force of nature. #### Spellcasting The Weave-Rager 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. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. You can only learn spells and cantrips that deal damage - and these cantrips and spells can only be from the sorcerer spell list. When you gain a level in this class you can swap out the learned spell for another spell. You do not require a spellcasting focus for your spellcasting. - **Spell Save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier - **Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier \columnbreak
##### Weave Rager Spellcasting | Level | Cantrips | Spells Known | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | |:---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 3rd | 1 | 1 | 2 | — | — | — | | 4th | 1 | 2 | 3 | — | — | — | | 7th | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 | — | — | | 10th | 2 | 2 | 4 | 3 | — | — | | 13th | 2 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 2 | — | | 16th | 2 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | — | | 19th | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 |
#### Spellrage *3rd-level Weave Rager feature* You learn to fuel your rage with your arcane power. When you enter a Rage you can spend a spell slot as a part of the same bonus action. If you do, you are wreathed in arcane energy and are now spellraging. The effects of a spellrage are the same as a rage but your melee attacks also deal an additional 3 force damage per level of the spell slot spent for the duration of the spellrage. When your spellrage ends you gain a level of exhaustion. Additionally, while spellraging, you can only cast cantrips. #### Bombastic Discharge *6th-level Weave Rager feature* When within a spellrage, you may spend a bonus action to emit an energized pulse that extends out from you in a 10-foot radius sphere. All creatures caught in this radius takes 2d6 force damage plus your Spellrage and Rage damage. When you use this feature, you cannot do so again until your finish a short or long rest. #### Arcane Armor *10th-level Weave Rager feature* You fortify yourself with arcane energy without compromising your unarmored defense. When you finish a short or long rest you can spend a spell slot to increase your AC by an amount equal to the level of the slot spent for 8 hours. If you have this effect active and enter a rage, you automatically gain the benefits of a Spellrage as though you had spent a spell slot of the level you spent to gain this effect and you lose the AC bonus. #### Unbridled Power *14th-level Weave Rager feature* You can now cast spells while spellraging. When you hit a target with an attack while Spellraging you can choose an additional target within 10 feet of you to take the bonus damage from the Spellrage plus your Rage Damage. Additionally, your Bombastic Discharge damage increases to 4d6. You may now use it twice per short or long rest.
\pagebreakNum ## Bard Features You gain class features in the *Player's Handbook* when you reach certain levels in your class. This section offers additional features that you can gain as a bard.

These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use one, both, or none of them. ### Alternative Performer *1st-level bard feature* ___ Some Bards use other instruments to weave their stories. Choose one set of Artisan's Tools or a Gaming Set. You gain proficiency with your choice if you did not already have it, and can use it as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells. ### Bardic Stories *2nd-level bard feature* ___ As a bard, you have learned several stories which you use to inspire, despair or entertain those around you. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to begin weaving a story which lasts until the end of your next turn. On subsequent turns, you can use a free action to extend the duration of your story for an additional turn, up to 1 minute. While you are weaving your story, your movement speed is reduced by half (rounded up) and you must maintain concentration as if you were concentrating on a spell or the story ends. You know a number of stories equal to your Charisma Modifier (minimum 1). You may choose the stories you know from those listed below, and may replace a story you know with another when you gain a level in this class. Some stories require a level requirement to learn. #### Adventurous Yarn You tell a tale of adventurous exploits and endeavors. When you begin telling this story, you and all allies within 30 feet that can hear you gain a +2 bonus to Wisdom (Survival) checks, Wisdom (Perception) checks, Dexterity Saving throws against traps, and checks made to climb.

At 10th level, creatures who fail the saving throw by 5 or more additionally have disadvantage on all attack rolls until you cease the *boring tale*. \columnbreak #### Limelight Fable You tell an emboldening tale about overcoming challenges. When you begin telling this story, you choose one willing creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you that can hear you. The target can immediately use its reaction to take an action.

The number of creatures you can target with this tale increases to two at 10th level. #### Slayer's Saga You tell a rip-and-tear tale of a savage hunter of monsters.

\pagebreakNum #### Confounding Allegory *Prerequisite: 7th level* You tell a paradoxical tale that starts only when it ends. When you begin telling this story, all hostile creatures within 30 feet that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature becomes confused. While confused, any time the creature makes an attack roll, skill check, or saving throw, they must roll a d10. On a 1 or 2, the roll immediately fails. This effect persists until you cease the *confounding allegory*. The range on the die for failing the roll increases to 3 and 4 at 10th level. #### Sagacious Parable *Prerequisite: 7th level* You tell a tale of a well-meaning intellectual.

While within this plane, the target regains hit points equal to one of your Bardic Inspiration dice at the start of your turn. The creature remains teleported and the healing effect persists until you cease the *rescue hymn*, and when it ends the creature is teleported back to where it was last standing. You may return the targeted creature as a bonus action. The number of creatures you can target with this tale increases to two at 10th level. #### Epic Chronicle *Prerequisite: 14th level* You tell a tale of a fellowship who has traveled far and wide.

### College of the Voice
*Words carry weight. Theirs moreso than most.* -- **Pryxis**
Bards of the College of the Voice ridicule paltry singers and tellers of tawdry tales. To them, their voice is their instrument, and the ancient words they speak are their performance. Bards of the voice are regarded with reverence, for those with the power to join them speak their will into reality. #### Shouts *3rd-level College of the Voice feature* The power of your voice adds new spells to your arsenal and alters your existing ones.

Roll the die. If the result is equal to or exceeds the level of the spell, you cast it. Spells marked with a * on the table are already on the bard spell list. When you cast a shout, it has a verbal component added if it does not already have one, and the sound of your voice booms like thunder. All creatures within 300 feet hear you when you cast a spell on the shout table in this way. \columnbreak

\pagebreakNum ## Blood Hunter Origins *"There are things you need not know of, though you live and die."* — **Mollymauk Tealeaf, Order of the Ghostslayer** ___ In worlds filled with monstrosities, Blood Hunters sacrifice part of themselves to become a monstrosity to fight that creeping darkness the world contains. Where Paladins uphold an oath, Blood Hunters uphold no code that would prevent them from snuffing out the horrors that would consume the world. Unlike wizards or sages, heeding caution, Blood Hunters delve readily into the macabre and reckless magic of hemocraft. Blood Hunters vigilantly fashion sword and sorcery into tools against the insidious foes that crawl the shadows of the earth. Blood Hunters are shaped by their drive to become a Blood Hunter and the Order they choose. The Orders may appear differently on many worlds, in some they may be many disparate factions, in others they be more unified, and even then they may be even rarer in some. Often times, a Blood Hunter may have a strange relationship with their Order and those in it. The sections that follow provide ways to give depth and flesh out a Blood Hunter character that could generate some engaging story and roleplaying opportunities. ### Order Most Blood Hunters are a part of an Order that has devoted itself to the task of dealing with certain kinds of monstrosities in the world. Often times, these Orders will train their followers to undergo a trail called a "Hunter's Bane" that irrevocably changes the participant — the final step to becoming a true Blood Hunter. Some Orders station their halls in the wastes and wilderness of the world to be more attuned to the conditions and creatures they face, others might have arisen in large cities as a necessary service to abate the troubles of its denizens. What is noteworthy about the Order you were trained at? | d6 | Order | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | You trained in a Order that guarded a prison filled with strange, nameless creatures from countless millenia. | | 2 | The Order you were inducted into was built atop ancient locus of natural power in an extreme climate.| | 3 | Each initiate and acolyte of your Order was magically branded with its sigil and it can never be removed. | | 4 | Your Order was the honor guard of a great city, its renown is legendary despite its grisly work. | | 5 | In the depths of the ocean, your Order trained to fight horrors unimagined and inconceivable to most. | | 6 | The clothing and trappings of your Order are sacred, they are the last and only pieces of clothing you need.| \columnbreak ### Hunter's Bane Each Order of Blood Hunters has an ancient, closely guarded secret ritual that alters whoever undertakes it. It warps the blood and scars the mind, binding its entrant to the darkness, honing their senses, and allowing them to use hemocraft magic. Not all the entrants of the Hunter's Bane survive and many do perish at its perils and pain. How did your Hunter's Bane leave you? Were you scarred for life? How did it makes you feel about your Order and those in it? Here's some options that you could use. | d6 | Hunter's Bane | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | The trial left my body and mind scarred beyond repair, it was miracle I survived. I never forgave my Order. | | 2 | I have nightmares when I sleep, sometimes it reminds me why I fight — at other times, it is the reason I cry. | | 3 | Whenever I fight, my muscles and mind remember the trials and I am empowered by my painful tribulations. | | 4 | My eyes were changed permanently by the ritual. | | 5 | After the ritual, I felt ecstatic until I realized my fellow trainees were not beside me. I wonder why I survived. | | 6 | My body was mutated beyond recognition; my extremities and senses adapted to be monstrous. |
\pagebreakNum ### Fear In each Blood Hunter there is a fear. That fear guides them, protects them, and shapes their world. It is why Blood Hunter Orders exist, it is the fearful choosing to be brave in the face of horror. It could be the fear of becoming a monster. The fear of abandoning their work and letting innocents suffer. The fear of losing their loved ones. Perhaps they fear their own Order? What will be your fear? When rolling or choosing a fear, think why this influenced them to become a Blood Hunter and whether or not it still haunts them. | d6 | Fear | |:---:|:-----------| | 1 | I fear my old age, when my bones begin to slow and my reactions are no longer enough to fight the dark. | | 2 | The brave foolhardiness, hubris, and recklessness with hemocraft magic will be my downfall. | | 3 | When I look at the state of my Order, the decay is apparent. I fear I might have fought for a dying cause. | | 4 | Ignorant people who misunderstand my Order and see me as a monster frighten me more than monsters. | | 5 | I fear I've become lazy, the temptations of flesh distract me far too often for my own good. | | 6 | The wealthy wish to use my Order for political gain and we aren't able to fight against the darkness. |
\pagebreakNum ## Blood Hunter Features You gain class features in the *The Blood Hunter Handbook* when you reach certain levels in your class.

These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use some, all, or none of them. ### Bleeding Blade *2nd-level blood hunter feature* ___ You can summon forth a weapon made from your blood. As part of the bonus action to activate your Crimson Rite, you create a melee weapon of your choice in your empty hand imbued with the Crimson Rite you chose instead of imbuing the rite onto a weapon.

On a success, this curse ends. #### Blood Curse of the Maladroit When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you attempts to use an item or make an attack roll, you can use your reaction to make them mishandle their equipment. A creature using a natural weapon cannot be the target of this curse. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or suddenly drop their item or weapon, using their action without activating the item or using one of their attacks without dealing damage. They are unable to pick up the item or weapon until the end of their turn. ***Amplify.*** The target also falls prone and cannot get up until the end of their turn. A creature that uses natural weapons can be targetted if this curse is amplified and fall prone if they fail their Dexterity saving throw. #### Blood Curse of the Reckless As a bonus action, you make a creature you can see within 30 feet of you to become frenzied, unable to protect themselves.

The target of the curse receives half the damage of the same damage type received by the attacked creature. ***Amplify.*** This curse instead deals damage equal to the damage received by the attacked creature, and it counts immunity as resistance.
\pagebreakNum ## Bloodhunter Orders At 3rd level, a bloodhunter gains the Bloodhunter Order feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: *Order of the Exorcist*, *Order of the Scale* and *Order of the Inquisition*. ### Order of the Exorcist
*When the material plane lies threatened by outside forces and where clerics fear to tread, these brave few stand ever vigilant.* -- **Pryxis**
The Order of the Exorcist is primarily concerned in ending the influence of extra-planar creatures. These blood hunters study the appropriate wards and apotropaic to release the bonds of those who have are under such a creature's possession or sway.

*After the draconic imperirum ruled over us for several thousand years, many still retain the ancient rage.* -- **Pryxis**
Even when the draconic imperium fell over 2 millennia ago, mortalkind upon Pryxis still retain the memories of such slavery.

*How's the saying go? "Silver for monsters, steel for humans"? Well, in this case, both are one in the same.* -- **Pryxis**

\pagebreakNum ## Cleric Features You gain class features in the *Player's Handbook* when you reach certain levels in your class. This section offers additional features that you can gain as a cleric. Unlike the features in the *Player's Handbook*, you don't gain the features here automatically. Consulting with your DM, you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the level requirement noted in the feature's description. These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use one, both, or none of them. ### Pious Defense *1st-level cleric feature, which replaces any proficiency in armor and shields* ___ Your devout faith has protected you from harm. While you are not wearing any armor and not wielding a shield, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier. ### Gnosis *3rd-level cleric feature* ___ Your studies of holy practices allow you to take a part in the acts of your faith. You always have the *ceremony* spell prepared, and it does not count against the number of cleric spells you prepare each day. You may cast the *ceremony* spell without utilizing a spell slot, and requiring no material components. Once you cast this spell utilizing this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest - or utilize your own spell slots to do so. \columnbreak > ##### Clerical Ceremonies > As the bearer of your domain, the preacher of your faith, and the voice of your deific force - you hold much more sway over the effects of a *ceremony* of your religion. > > The following rites are options that ONLY clerics can perform while casting the *ceremony* spell: > > - ***Communion:*** You touch one humanoid, during the next 24 hours, the first time the target must make a death saving throw it does so with advantage. A creature can benefit from this rite only once per year. > - ***Consecration.*** You bless a bowl or vessel worth at least 100 gp that is fixed upon a solid base that cannot easily be moved, causing it to become a consecrated holy symbol belonging to your patron deity. The font must be re-consecrated if it becomes corrupted in any way, and must be re-consecrated once per year. A consecrated font eliminates the material component when performing the "Bless Water" ceremony within reach of it. > - ***Investiture.*** You touch one willing humanoid or an item on a willing humanoid. Choose one 1st-level spell you have prepared and expend a spell slot and any material components as if you were casting that spell. The spell has no immediate effect. Instead, the target is imbued with this spell, which may be cast once without having to expend a spell slot or use material components. If the spell is not cast within 24 hours, the invested spell is lost. >
\pagebreakNum ## Cleric Domains At 1st level, a cleric gains the Divine Domain feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: *Blood Domain*, *Dragon Domain* and *Technology Domain*. ### Blood Domain
*Even when magic falters and the sword falls, blood still remains godly in its nature.* -- **Pryxis**
The flow of life and the material that keeps it alive - and the center of ancient, primal magic. The Blood domain centers around the understanding of the natural life force within one’s own physical body. The power of blood is the power of sacrifice, the balance of life and death, and the spirit’s anchor within the mortal shell. Clerics of blood seek to tap into the connection between body and soul through divine means, exploit the hidden reserves of will within one’s own vitality, and even manipulate or corrupt the body of others through these secret rites of crimson. ##### Blood Domain Spells | Cleric Level | Spells | |:---:|:----| | 1st | *sleep, ray of sickness* | | 3rd | *ray of enfeeblement, crown of madness* | | 5th | *haste, slow* | | 7th | *blight, stoneskin* | | 9th | *dominate person, hold monster* | #### Bonus Proficiency *1st-level Blood Domain feature* You gain proficiency with martial weapons. #### Bloodletting Focus *1st-level Blood Domain feature* Your divine magics draw the blood from inflicted wounds, worsening the agony of your nearby foes.

Dead or unconscious creatures automatically fail their saving throw. At 8th level, you can target a Huge or smaller creature.

You know their approximate distance and direction from you, as well as their general state of health, as long as they are within 10 miles of you. You can maintain this effect as though you were concentrating on a spell for up to 1 hour. During your bond, you can spend an action to attempt to connect with the bonded creature’s senses. The target makes a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. If they succeed, the connection is resisted, ending the bond. You suffer 2d6 necrotic damage. Upon a failed saving throw, you can choose to either see through the eyes of or hear through their ears of the target for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). During this time, you are blind or deaf (respectively) with regard to your own senses. Once this connection ends, the Crimson Bond is lost. #### Sanguine Recall *8th-level Blood Domain feature* You can sacrifice a portion of your own vitality to recover expended spell slots. As an action, you recover spell slots that have a combined level equal to or less than half of your cleric level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You immediately suffer 1d6 necrotic damage per spell slot level recovered. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest. For example, if you are an 8th-level cleric, you can recover up to four levels of spell slots. You can recover a single 4th-level spell slot, two 2nd-level spell slots, a 3rd-level spell slot and a 1st level spell slot, or four 1st-level spell slots. You then suffer 4d6 damage. \columnbreak #### Vascular Corruption Aura *17th-level Blood Domain feature* You learn to call upon the inherent magic in the blood of others to inflict harm. As an action, you can emit a powerful aura that extends 30 feet out from you. This aura pulses necrotic energy through the veins of nearby foes, causing them to burst and bleed. For 1 minute, any enemy creatures with blood that begin their turn within the aura or enter it for the first time on their turn immediately suffer 2d6 necrotic damage. Any enemy creature with blood that would regain hit points while within the aura only regains half of the intended number of hit points (rounded up). Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

\pagebreakNum ### Technology Domain
*That which drives us to greater heights can - and is - worshiped.* -- **Pryxis**

\pagebreakNum ### Pugilist
*While monks specialize in the flow of Ki, some would rather focus on the flow of their fists.* -- **Pryxis**
The Pugilist is a fighter who has forgone the use of orthodox weaponry. Typically heckled by other fighters and combatants for their lack of traditional weaponry. But these claims are usually laid to rest quite quickly once they've properly pretzeled an armored paladin, crippled a cackling spellweaving caster, or laid lucid an unlucky lump in but a single blow. The Pugilist proves he already knows the full potential of his natural weaponry. #### Fight-Night Debut *3rd-level Pugilist feature* Focusing on the weaponization of your body comes with as many costs as it does rewards. Starting when you choose this Martial Archetype at level 3 you make the following adjustments to your character sheet: - You lose proficiency in all martial weapons and armor as you now train exclusively to fight bare-handed. You cannot Multi-Class into or out of the Pugilist subclass. - While you are not wearing armor and not wielding a shield, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Strength Modifier + Constitution Modifier. - Your base movement increases by 10 feet.

Should you successfully grapple a target, you may move freely after doing so if the grappled target is within your carry limit. At the start of your turn, you deal one unarmed strike of damage to the grappled target. - **Brawling.** - As a bonus action on your turn, you may make a Strength (Athletics) check to attempt to Blind, Deafen, Mute, or Disarm the target with one of your unarmed strikes (per DM's discretion). This effect lasts until the start of the creature's next turn. - **Striking.** - Once per turn, you may maximize your damage on an attack a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus.

All uses of this feature recharge after a long rest. #### Fists of Fury *7th-level Pugilist feature* Your fighting spirit swells, becoming outwardly apparent and empowering your Strikes. Your Unarmed Strikes now score a critical hit on a roll of 19-20.

When utilizing your “Float Like A Butterfly” feature or when making an attack of opportunity, you make one Unarmed Strike attack against your attacker if they are within your reach. #### King of the Ring *18th-level Pugilist feature* Your immense pugilistic experience, tireless fighting spirit, and ceaseless physical conditioning have molded you into a paragon of unarmed martial prowess.

\pagebreakNum ### Shield Knight
*The phrase "the best offense is a good defense" is taken quite literally by some.* -- **Pryxis**
While other fighters focus on aggressive tactics or controlling the battlefield, the Shield Knights understand that often times the most powerful force in battle is a strong and impenetrable defensive line. As a Shield Knight you put yourself between your allies and danger; a stalwart defender against that which would do them harm. #### Second Skin *3rd-level Shield Knight feature* Your armor and shield are extensions of your body, and moving with them is as natural an act as breathing. You ignore any disadvantage imposed by your armor or shield on skills such as stealth or sleight of hand. Additionally, the time it takes you to don or doff your equipment is greatly reduced. You may don or doff your armor as an action, and doning your shield requires a bonus action - while doffing requires a free action. #### Lethal Shield *3rd-level Shield Knight feature* You are well versed in the weaponizing of shields in combat. While wielding a shield, you may treat it as a weapon. A shield deals 1d8 bludgeoning damage, uses your Strength for attack and damage rolls, and has the versatile property (1d10). #### Stalwart Defender *7th-level Shield Knight feature* Above all else, you excel at protecting your fellow comrades close to you. Allies within 5 feet of you gain the armor class bonus of any shield you are wielding. #### Defensive Strike *7th-level Shield Knight feature* You have learned how to take advantage of an opening in your enemy's lack of defense.

Your shield now deals 1d10 bludgeoning damage, its versatile damage increases to 1d12. \columnbreak #### Shield Bulwark *10th-level Shield Knight feature* Your ability to interpose your shield between you and harm has become an instant reaction. While wielding your shield, you gain a damage threshold equal to the shield's AC bonus.

You gain an additional +1 AC bonus to any shield you are wearing. Additionally, you may use an action on your turn to strike against a creature with your shield with the intention to knock them off-guard. The creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier). On a failed save, the target is Dazed, and the next attack roll made against this target before the end of your next turn has advantage. #### Iron Hide *18th-level Shield Knight feature* You have evolved to become the signature bulwark of protection upon the battlefield. So long as you are wearing a shield, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and you may add your shield's AC bonus to saving throws against magical effects.

*Some monks have the capability to wade into the thick of comabt, flowing through it on instinct alone.* -- **Pryxis**
It is often said that Monks of Instinct never strike first. While this idea is a falsehood, their mastery of counter strikes and automatic reactions is not. Whether they prefer a method of safely screening for opportunities, or fighting in a deliberately reckless manner to force them, these monks all have sought to achieve a state of empty mind: a state where they are no longer shackled by thought or emotion, achieving true freedom to react to all things with cold precision. #### Burst of Instinct *3rd-level Way of Instinct feature* You gain the ability to allow your body to act independently of your thoughts.

If the damage you deal to the attacker stuns or kills the attacker, you instead take no damage. \columnbreak #### Sharpened Instincts *11th-level Way of Instinct feature* You have honed your body to become even more adept at evading enemy attacks.

Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
\pagebreakNum ### Way of Mystic Blood
*The ancient ways of drawing out the magic in blood can be found in all aspects of mortalkind - and most are seen as unnatural.* -- **Pryxis**
Monks of the Way of the Mystic Blood are unlike other disciplines that focus their energies in avoiding attacks with deft maneuvers. Instead they undergo a sacred ritual in which their bodies are scarified with alchemical inks, thus unlocking the sacred power of blood magic. Monks of this path fear no pain, and find release in suffering. #### Vicious Strikes *3rd-level Way of Mystic Blood feature* The conditioning undergone by disciples of the mystic blood teaches them to strike mercilessly, forgoing finesse. Monks that choose this path can no longer use their Dexterity modifier on attack rolls and damage to unarmed attacks. However, they make their unarmed strikes with twice as many damage dice. #### Sanguine Armor *3rd-level Way of Mystic Blood feature* The discipling of the Mystic Blood Monk has their body hardened in response to physical trauma.

As a bonus action, you can expend a number of hit points to restore an amount of ki points, to a maximum amount of ki points equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of 1).

On a failed saving throw, the creature is forced to make one melee weapon attack on a creature within reach of your choice. #### Bloody Transfusion *11th-level Way of Mystic Blood feature* You can heal yourself now to weaken your vitality later. As a bonus action, you can expend 2 ki points and reduce your hit point maximum by an amount equal to or less than two times your monk level.

The amount of hit points you expend is added to the necrotic damage. You cannot expend more than three times your monk level in hit points.
\pagebreakNum ### Way of Outer Mind
*When people state: "Mind over Matter", I don't believe they can comprehend the extent of what that entails.* -- **Pryxis**
Many monks are renowned for their incredible physical prowess and martial ability. However, followers of the way of the Outer Mind have engaged in intensive meditative practices to fold their inner minds outwards onto the world. These monks are unparalleled in their mental discipline, and use their abilities to enhance their combat prowess, breaking the minds of those that cross them. These monks often involve themselves in subterfuge and spycraft - as they are often thought of as no more than a figment of imagination. #### Psychic Arts *3rd-level Way of Outer Mind feature* You have learned to impose your thoughts upon others. As an action, you can spend 2 ki points to cast *calm emotions*, *detect thoughts* or *gift of gab* as a 2nd level spell without material components.

You can only spend an additional amount of Ki points equal to half your monk level to cast the spell at a higher level. \columnbreak #### Outward Empire *11th-level Way of Outer Mind feature* By channeling all your senses of inward imaginations outwards, you have learned to alter other creature's perceptions of their own reality. As an action, you can spend 4 Ki points to cast *confusion* without material components. Additionally, as an action, you can spend 5 Ki points to create a 60-foot-radius sphere aura centered on you. This aura remains for 1 hour and grants the following benefits: - The area within your aura is altered into any form you choose as per the *hallucinatory terrain* spell - but can include otherworldly, dream-like, or nightmarish landscapes (so long as they are not inherently harmful). - While this aura is active, you may create an illusory effect of your choice as per the *minor illusion* cantrip. You may only have one of these effects active at any time. - Checks to determine that the aura and effects within it are illusions are made with disadvantage. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest. #### Imposed Dreamscape *17th-level Way of Outer Mind feature* The liminal threshold between your mind and reality has broken down, giving you more power over the worlds of other creature's minds.

The Oath of Cosmos ties a paladin to the vision of the universe as one organism; a single order, with a place for everything in existence. Sometimes referred to as "space knights", these paladins arise from an individual's enlightenment regarding the interconnectedness of all. Being found at the borders of known existence, paladins of cosmos fight back the eldritch forces beyond mortal comprehension, and can serve as both the light and the void, bridging the gaps between worlds with belief and willpower. #### Tenets of Cosmos The tenets of the cosmos bind a paladin to an ideal of universal order. The core principles prioritize doing good by establishing structure. **All Belongs.** Deny no being its rightful place in the universe. **Nothing is Fixed.** Exist in movement, light, and life. Be as both the bright gleam, and diaphanous shadow. **Desire Understanding.** Thirst for wisdom, and a deeper understanding of the universe, so as to become closer to divinity. \columnbreak ##### Cosmos Spells | Paladin Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 3rd | *Faerie Fire, Jump* | | 5th | *Moonbeam, See Invisibility* | | 9th | *Daylight, Melf's Minute Meteors* | | 13th | *Banishment, Dimension Door* | | 17th | *Dawn, Scrying* | #### Channel Divinity *3rd-level Oath of Cosmos feature* You gain the following two Channel Divinity options: ***Starlight.*** As an action, you present your holy symbol and emit a flash of divine starlight. All creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. ***Turn Eldritch.*** As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring abberations and monstrosities, using your Channel Divinity. Each abberation and monstrosity that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
\pagebreakNum #### Aura of Gravity *7th-level Oath of Cosmos feature* Your attunement to the cosmos lends you sway over gravitational forces. As an action on each of your turns, you can move each creature you can see within 15 feet of you 5 feet in a direction of your choice. You cannot move creatures into occupied spaces or through solid objects. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet, and you can move the creatures 10 feet in any direction. #### Effervescing Light *15th-level Oath of Cosmos feature* The light of the burning stars and the dark of the deep void tangle within you. As an action, you can choose to emit a radius of light or dark from yourself. This effects lasts until you use this ability again, fall unconscious, or dismiss the effect as an action. ***Light.*** You emit bright light in a 30 foot radius and dim light another 30 feet. Magical darkness within the radius of the bright light is dispelled when you take this action. ***Dark.*** A void-like cloud of darkness becomes woven tight around your form, which cannot be seen through by magical darkvision or truesight. This darkness masks your identity and grants you advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in darkness, but does not heavily obscure you from other creatures. \columnbreak #### Cosmic Avatar *20th-level Oath of Cosmos feature* As an action, you manifest a massive starlit body of cosmic energy that you hover harmlessly within. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits: - Your physical body becomes ethereal and intangible, while you manifest a massive body of energy around you. - Your size becomes Huge, and your items and objects grow to match your new size - your weapons deal two extra dice of damage. - Creatures can end their turns in your space.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.
\pagebreakNum ### Oath of the Spellbreaker
*Magic, while useful and beneficial, can also lead to neglect - and those that abuse that power must be struck down.* -- **Pryxis**
The spellbreaker is an oath that was created after the spellplague, once the worlds realized the power that mages could wield and the destruction they could wreak. Sometimes called "anti-magic knights" or even "templars", paladins who swear this oath desire to prevent the corruption of magic to spread further, and hunt mages who bring harm to society. #### Tenets of the Spellbreaker The tenets of the spellbreaker are twofold: The preservation of magic as a tool for good, and the commitment required to destroy arcane sorcery used for wrongdoing. Those that take this oath have it alchemically carved into their spine. **Magic Corrupts.** Magic is an absolute form of power. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. You must keep the balance. **Magic is Two-Edged.** Your power comes from the very thing you seek to destroy. Not all magic warrants your wrath, lest you find yourself becoming that which you hunt. **Magic brings life.** You must combat those who wield magic for power, but so too should you protect those who use it to make society flourish. ##### Spellbreaker Spells | Paladin Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 3rd | *Absorb Elements, Detect Magic* | | 5th | *See Invisibility, Silence* | | 9th | *Counterspell, Dispel Magic* | | 13th | *Banishment, Locate Creature* | | 17th | *Banishing Smite, Circle of Power* | #### Channel Divinity *3rd-level Oath of the Spellbreaker feature* You gain the following two Channel Divinity options: ***Antimagic Weapon.*** As an action, you may imbue one weapon you are holding with your Spellbreaking power. For one minute, your weapon absorbs magic from any creature it harms; any saving throws made to maintain concentration against damage caused by this weapon are made with disadvantage. Additionally, you add your Charisma modifier on any attack and damage roll made using this weapon. ***Exsorcellation.*** As a bonus action, you and all allies within 10 feet of you may immediately attempt a new save against any effect caused by an Illusion, Enchantment, or Necromancy spell. Additionally, for one minute, you and your allies within 10 feet of you have advantage on Saving Throws against these spells. You may use this feature as a Reaction when you are affected by an effect that causes you to be charmed or frightened. At 18th level, the radius of this feature extends to 30 feet. #### Aura of the Mage Hunter *7th-level Oath of the Spellbreaker feature* The weave warps around your presence, diminishing the impact of magic - and allowing you to notice it's presence. When you use your Divine sense feature, you also gain the effect of *Detect Magic*, without using a spell slot. Additionally, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have resistance to force and psychic damage, and can't be made prone or stunned by magical effects. At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet. #### Mana Warp *15th-level Oath of the Spellbreaker feature* You know how to better oppose those that abuse magic. You have advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects. Additionally, if you fail a saving throw against a spell, you can choose to succeed instead. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest. #### Spelleater *20th-level Oath of the Spellbreaker feature* You can spend an action to push your mastery of spellbreaking powers to their limits for 1 minute, gaining the following benefits: - Your eyes begin to glow with arcane nullifying energy, granting you an antimagic field, as though created by the spell *Antimagic Field*, but in a 30 foot cone in front of you, originating from your eyes (this field does not affect your own magical items or abilities). - Allies within 30 feet of you gain the benefits of your *Mana Warp* - gaining advantage on saving throws against magic. - When you cast *Counterspell* or *Dispel Magic* the spell slot is treated as two slots higher. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.
\pagebreakNum ### Oath of the Way
*Few choose the life of reverence without belief; instead worshiping the way of the warrior.* -- **Pryxis**
To the paladin of the way of the warrior; honor and loyalty is of the utmost importance. Honor is gained by conflict, no matter the odds or circumstances. Once battle is engaged, victory brings honor. And while defeat is not desirable, even the act of fighting and losing brings honor to the defeated - for at least they took action. Death is a natural part of life, for everything dies, and betterment is found in the struggle; this is the true worship of life, this is the way. #### Tenets of the Way The tenets of the Way are strict and leave no room for deviation. Paladins of the Way swear no fealty to a single god. Those who uphold these tenets are uncompromising in their ideals. ***Strength is Life.*** For the strong have the right to rule. ***Honor is Life.*** For with no honor, one may as well be dead. ***Loyalty is Life.*** For without one's clan, one has no purpose. ***Death is Life.*** One should die as they have lived. \columnbreak ##### The Way Spells | Paladin Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 3rd | *Burning Hands, Magic Missile* | | 5th | *Magic Weapon, Misty Step* | | 9th | *Lightning Arrow, Protection from Energy* | | 13th | *Arcane Eye, Locate Creature* | | 17th | *Steel Wind Strike, Swift Quiver* | #### Secrets of the Forge *3rd-level Oath of the Way feature* Paladins who follow the Way are different than other paladins, in that they do not serve a particular deity or religion - instead, weapons and armor are their religion, and conflict their form of prayer. They serve their clan and ancestors above all else. You gain proficiency in firearms, and Smith's Tools. Additionally, you may take time during a long rest to use a set of Smith's tools to tinker and improve a suit of armor using the secret art of your clan. The suit of armor must be a full suit (including a helmet), Heavy and be made out of metal. Once the long rest is completed, so long as you are wearing the armor, you reduce damage from weapon attacks by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus. You can only have one suit of armor improved in this way, if you doff the armor or your helmet at any point, the benefits are lost, and you must take another long rest to improve it again.
\pagebreakNum #### Channel Divinity *3rd-level Oath of the Way feature* You gain the following two Channel Divinity options: ***Debilitating Current.*** Whenever you hit a creature with a melee attack and use your divine smite feature, you can use your Channel Divinity to send a debilitating shockwave through the target of your attack. The target must make a Constitution saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failure, they are stunned until the start of your next turn. ***Grappling Line.*** As an Action, you can use your Channel Divinity to throw a divine lure from your hand or a weapon you wield towards a creature within 30 feet of you.

You gain the following benefits: - Your weapon attacks deal an additional 1d10 damage of the type chosen in your *Hallowed Strikes* feature. - Whenever you use your sneak attack, any damage rolls of 1's now count as 2's. - As a reaction, when a creature misses you with an attack within 30 feet of you, you can cause your weapon to flare, forcing the attacking target to make a Constitution saving throw versus your *Sacred Interrogator* DC or be blinded until the start of their next turn. This feature lasts for 1 minute, and once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. #### Divine Hand *17th-level Emissary feature* Your dedication to your divine dogma is only matched by the mightiest of paladins and clerics. You gain proficiency in Charisma saving throws. Additionally, whenever you use your *Hallowed Strikes* feature, you add your proficiency bonus to the additional damage.
\pagebreakNum ### Sawbones
*Who says that medical malpractice doesn't have some benefits?* -- **Pryxis**
The blackmarket surgeon, back-alley doctor and would-be butcher, the Sawbones is a rogue who has delved into the practice of medicine - albeit, with different intentions. These rogues have opted out of the practice of picking pockets and stealing treasure to instead garner profits from the more...living aspects of creatures. They have learned to retrieve the bits and pieces of useful organs from living organisms to use to their advantage. #### Back-Alley Medicine *3rd-level Sawbones feature* Your study of surgical practices and anatomy have yielded you unique discoveries. You gain proficiency in the Medicine skill, and you may use your Intelligence modifier instead of wisdom for medicine checks. You can use the bonus action granted by your *Cunning Action* to administer a potion or poison to a creature within 10 feet of you, or make a medicine check to stabilize a dying creature. #### Surgeon's Toolkit *3rd-level Sawbones feature* You have accumulated a set of tools for combat medicine. While these tools are on your person, you can use an action to tend to the wounds of a creature within 5 feet of you. That creature can spend a number of Hit Dice up to your Intelligence modifier. For each Hit Die spent this way, roll the die and add the creature's constitution modifier to it. The creature regains hit points equal to the total. #### Grim Salvage *9th-level Sawbones feature* You have learned to surgically harvest parts from dead creatures and preserve them for future use. You can spend 10 minutes with the corpse of a non-construct creature that has been dead no longer than 3 days. Make a Medicine check, the DC of which is equal to the challenge rating of the creature plus 5. On a success, you harvest an organ that does one of the following, so long as the creature had that ability or a variation of it. You may only attempt this ability once per dead creature. The organ can be used once to replicate the ability of the creature it came from, then it is rendered inert and is destroyed. Any damage, save DCs, and modifiers are identical to what they were when the creature was alive. - ***Poison.*** You extract the venom or toxin the creature uses. If the creature adds poison damage to any of it's attacks, you can harvest a vial of that poison. You may use a bonus action to apply the same poison to one of your weapons. The next time that weapon hits a creature in the next minute, they suffer the effects of that poison. \columnbreak - ***Breath Weapon.*** You extract the gland responsible for a creature's breath attack. As an action, you can activate the gland and unleash it's deadly payload. - ***Gaze Effect.*** You extract the eyes or other part a creature uses for its gaze ability. As an action, you can activate that organ and use the gaze ability on a creature within range. - ***Innate Spellcasting.*** You extract a biological element that produces magic. When you harvest this organ, choose a spell from the creature's innate spellcasting list. As an action, you can activate that organ to cast the spell. A wizard can also dissect the organ - with your help - to transcribe that spell into their spellbook, as if it were a spell scroll. #### Adept Immunization *13th-level Sawbones feature* You've established a routine of administering small doses of poison and toxins into your bloodstream to build up natural defenses. You are immune to disease and poison. #### Butchering Strikes *17th-level Sawbones feature* Your attacks are guided by your anatomical expertise. Whenever you perform a sneak attack on a creature, that creature's maximum hitpoints are reduced by the amount of damage dealt. That creature can't regain hitpoints until the end of your next turn. As a bonus action, after using your sneak attack, you can perform an impromptu surgery on the creature, targeting one of the abilities affected by your *Grim Salvage*, doing so negates the creature's capability to utilize that feature a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). After you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
\pagebreakNum ## Sorcerer Features You gain class features in the *Player's Handbook* when you reach certain levels in your class. This section offers additional features that you can gain as a sorcerer. Unlike the features in the *Player's Handbook*, you don't gain the features here automatically. Consulting with your DM, you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the level requirement noted in the feature's description. These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use one, both, or none of them. ### Aether Essence *1st-level sorcerer feature* ___ You can draw upon the magical essence that courses through your veins. You don't require an arcane focus for your sorcerer spells, allowing you to ignore the material components specified for the spell, unless the component indicates a cost or is consumed by the spell. Utilizing this ability causes parts of your being to emit arcane energy. Your eyes could glow, your hair could flare with energy, or your skin could roil in a flashing aura. ### Sorcerous Bloom *10th-level sorcerer feature* ___ Allowing your inherent magic to take the reins, you may enter a supernatural state which transforms you into a magical being. As a free action, you may bloom the magic within your blood outwards. This state lasts for 1 minute and ends early if you are Incapacitated or Die. You may dismiss this state as a free action. While in this state, you have the following effects: - You regain 2 sorcery points at the start of each of your turns. - You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your Sorcerer Level. These temporary hit points last until your Sorcerous Bloom ends. - You have advantage on the attack rolls of every spell you cast. Creatures and targets of your spells roll their saving throws with disadvantage. Once your Sorcerous Bloom ends, you must succeed on a Constitution Saving Throw equal to your own spellcasting DC. On a failure, you gain 1 level of exhaustion and cannot cast spells until you finish a long rest. You can only utilize this feature once per long rest.
\pagebreakNum ## Sorcerer Origins At 1st level, a sorcerer gains the Sorcerous Origins feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: *Crimson Soul*, *Reborn Hero* and *Oracle*. ### Crimson Soul
*Those who feel the call of blood within themselves soon find that it calls to them from within others as well.* -- **Pryxis**
The magic inherent in the lifeblood of all creatures calls out to those of the Crimson Soul. Their ability to command and manipulate blood is as natural to them as their heartbeat. Many who seek to perfect this art give into the temptation of self-mutilation and sadism, as they draw out the power inherent in their own lifeforce. Many gain their powers from some form of sanguine entity, such as vampirism, succubi, or other bloody lineages and curses. #### Resilient Blood *1st-level Crimson Soul feature* Your blood is infused with resilient life energy, allowing you to draw more from your own wellspring. You gain the ability to replace your spellcasting modifier with Constitution if you so choose. You have one bonus sorcerer hit die. You gain an additional sorcerer hit die at levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20. These hit dice do not count towards your hit point maximum. In addition, when you finish a short rest, you can choose to regain hit points equal to your Constitution modifier + half your sorcerer level (minimum 1). Once you do so, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest. \columnbreak #### Sanguine Empowerment *1st-level Crimson Soul feature* You gain the ability to cast beyond your limits by sacrificing the vital life force inside your own blood. As a free action, when rolling damage for a spell, you may expend any number of your hit dice, adding an additional 2d6 necrotic damage per die expended. #### Bleeding Mana *6th-level Crimson Soul feature* You gain the ability to cast spells when you are wounded, turning the spilt blood from your veins into pure magic. When you take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, you can spend 2 sorcery points and use your reaction to cast one spell that would normally require an action or bonus action to cast. You cast this spell after taking the damage. #### Crimson Gorge *14th-level Crimson Soul feature* You learn how to make use of the blood enemies have already spilled from you to strengthen your body as well as your magic beyond its normal limits. While you have no more than half your hit points remaining, you gain a +3 bonus to AC. When you have this bonus and you roll damage for a sorcerer spell that you cast, you add your proficiency bonus to the damage of the spell. You can only add this bonus damage once per turn. #### Visceral Storm *18th-level Crimson Soul feature* You have learned how to force your magic into the body of a mortally wounded creature with such ease and force as to cause an implosion of magic. When you deal damage to a creature and reduce it to 0 hit points, you can spend 2 sorcery points to cause the creature to explode violently. The target fails one death saving throw automatically. Each creature within a 15-foot sphere centered on the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, taking 7d6 necrotic damage on a failure, and half as much damage on a success.
\pagebreakNum ### Reborn Hero
*The Soul is a curious thing; at times it will find a way to preserve itself throughout time.* -- **Pryxis**
The soul of a long forgotten hero often times may refuse to simply be laid to rest, instead struggling against the shackles of fate and death. These souls become either reincarnated or their inherent powers are transferred down their familial lineages into Sorcerers of the reborn hero. These sorcerers are filled with a supernatural sense of bravery and purpose, instilled with valor and determination. #### Hero's Birthright *1st-level Reborn Hero feature* Your soul remembers the ways of war from ages past. You gain proficiency in shields, simple weapons and martial melee weapons. In addition, you add *Heroism* to your list of known spells, and can cast *Compelled Duel* a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest. Both of these spells counts as sorcerer spells for you, but they do not count against the number of sorcerer spells you know \columnbreak #### Brave Soul *1st-level Reborn Hero feature* Your innate power animates you in battle, allowing you to deflect blows and wield weapons that you otherwise could not. While you are not wearing any armor, you are always under the effects of a *Mage Armor* spell. During a long rest, you can perform a ritual on one melee weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When you make an attack with this weapon, you can add your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. You can only have one weapon affected in this way at any time. #### Spellbound Strikes *6th-level Reborn Hero feature* You begin to master magical combat. When you attack using your ritual weapon, you can spend sorcery points to enhance the attack in one of the following ways: - ***Heroic Strike.*** After you attack, you can spend 1 sorcery point to make another attack with your ritual weapon as a bonus action. - ***Ethereal Strike.*** After you attack, you can spend 1 sorcery point to take the Dodge or Disengage action as a bonus action. - ***Glorious Strike.*** If your attack hits a creature, you can spend 2 sorcery points to restore hit points equal to your Charisma modifier to yourself and all creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you. - ***Mortal Strike.*** If your attack hits a creature, you can spend 2 sorcery points to sunder its defenses. Until the end of your next turn, your target must subtract half your proficiency bonus from its AC and saving throws. - ***Resounding Strike.*** Before making your attack roll, you can spend 2 sorcery points to cast *Thunderous Smite* as a bonus action. It counts as a sorcerer spell for you, and casting it this way does not require concentration, but the spell ends at the end of your turn. #### Arcanic Will *14th-level Reborn Hero feature* You can harness the excess energy of your magic to amplify your skill in combat. While you maintain concentration on a spell, you gain a bonus to your AC and attack rolls equal to your proficiency bonus. #### Living Legend *18th-level Reborn Hero feature* You fully embody the power and resolve of your heroic soul. When you cast a sorcerer spell, you gain 10 temporary hitpoints. These hitpoints are lost when you take a short or long rest. Additionally, the cost of all your Spellbound Strikes is reduced by 1 sorcery point, and you are able to utilize the spellbound strikes that are reduced to 0 sorcery points at any time - no sorcery points required.
\pagebreakNum ### Oracle
*Gods and entities may control our fates, but some amongst us tie their threads in ways even the gods cannot undo.* -- **Pryxis**
These rare few have been vested with cosmic forces of fate and destiny, able to catch glimpses of the future and past. This might be the actions of a divine hand, the result of a previous prophecy, or perhaps merely the result of cosmic coincidence. A force such as fate is hard to contain, and manifests within the Oracle in not only powers of foretelling, but also in divine magic to grant them the tools to understand the true nature of time. #### Oracle Magic You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Oracle Spells table. Each spell counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know. These spells can’t be replaced when you gain a level in this class. ##### Oracle Spells | Sorcerer Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 3rd | *Bane, Bless* | | 5th | *Aid, Augury* | | 9th | *Bestow Curse, Remove Curse* | | 13th | *Death Ward, Divination* | | 17th | *Commune, Hallow* | \columnbreak #### Ritualistically Divine *1st-level Oracle feature* You have been instilled with the innate powers of a divine avatar. You gain two cantrips of your choice from the cleric spell list. These cantrips count as sorcerer spells. Additionally, you can cast a sorcerer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you know the spell. #### Sudden Omens *6th-level Oracle feature* You begin to experience precognitions of impending danger. You cannot be surprised, and you have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see. When you are targeted by an attack, you can spend 1 sorcery point as a reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. #### Shape Destiny *14th-level Oracle feature* You have learned to augment the fate of creatures within your life. You target yourself or a creature that you know of within 60 feet of you. When that creature makes an ability check, attack roll, damage roll, saving throw, or death saving throw, you can use your reaction to reroll it yourself and use either result. You can do this a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). You regain all uses when you finish a short or long rest. #### Fateseer *18th-level Oracle feature* Your mind has begun to unfold as your perception peers nonlinearly through time itself. You can spend 8 sorcery points to cast the *Foresight* spell on yourself. Once you cast the spell with this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
\pagebreakNum
## Warlock Features You gain class features in the The *Player's Handbook* when you reach certain levels in your class. This section offers additional features that you can gain as a warlock. Unlike the features in the The *Player's Handbook*, you don't gain the features here automatically. Consulting with your DM, you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the level requirement noted in the feature's description. These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use some, all, or none of them. ### Weird Knowledge *2nd-level warlock feature* ___ Your patron has shared some of the secrets they hold within their trove - which allows you to uncover similar information which pertains to the eldritch and otherworldly. You make Intelligence (Arcana) and Intelligence (History) checks with advantage when researching occult topics that pertain to creatures, spells, warlocks and their patrons, and other ancient or eldritch lore. \columnbreak ### Life Tap *5th-level warlock feature* ___ You have gain the ability to sacrifice some of your vitality in the case of emergency to gain extra magical power from your patron. As a bonus action, you regain one of your expended warlock spell slots. Upon doing so, roll a number of hit dice equal to your current spell slot level. You lose the hit dice and a number of hit points equal to the number rolled. This reduction can only be restored by finishing a long rest. ### Pact Negotiator *15th-level warlock feature* ___ Your continued success in the service of your patron has finally given you enough bargaining chips to convince them to loan you additional power. You can rent an eldritch invocation of your choice, and it does not count against your number of invocations known. In order to rent an invocation, the invocation must not have any prerequisites, even if you would meet them. You cannot qualify for eldritch invocations that require a warlock feature as a part of its prerequisites (such as *Relentless Hex*) using your rented invocation. You can exchange your rented invocation out for a new one when you finish a long rest. Renting a new invocation takes 1 hour of time expertly negotiating with your patron. \pagebreakNum ## Warlock Patrons At 1st level, a warlock gains the Otherworldly Patron feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: *the Archmage*, *the Scarlet Lord* and *the Sphinx*. ### The Archmage
*Many Archmages have reached a state of power where they are able to instill magic in those willing to sevre them - even me.* -- **Pryxis**
Knowledge is power. An old idiom, but it carries intense truth in its words. Archmagi have been known on a few occasions to grant magic to their most devout followers. Warlocks with the patron of the Archmage have had their magical growth substituted by their benefactor, teaching them the arcane arts in exchange for fealty, service, and someone who is willing to listen to their lectures. #### Archmage Patron Magic The Archmage lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. ##### Archmage Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | *Magic Missile, Tenser's Floating Disk* | | 2nd | *Cloud of Daggers, Nystul's Magic Aura* | | 3rd | *Galder's Tower, Leomund's Tiny Hut* | | 4th | *Otiluke's Resilient Sphere, Mordenkainen's Faithful Hound* | | 5th | *Wall of Force, Bigby's Hand* | #### Acolyte of Force *1st-level Archmage patron feature* Your first lesson has been about General Matick, master warmage. You learn the *Mage Hand* cantrip, and you can cast the *Magic Missile* spell once per long rest without expending a spell slot. Additionally, may apply your proficiency bonus to the damage of spells that deal force damage (this does not stack with instances of proficiency bonus damage that already apply, such as the agonizing blast invocation of *Eldritch Blast*). \columnbreak #### Apprentice of Defense *6th-level Archmage patron feature* Your next lesson has been about the workings of Elminster, the wandering wonder. If a creature that you can see targets you with a spell attack, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You can choose to do so after the attack is rolled, but before the outcome is determined. If the attack misses, you gain advantage on the next attack roll you make against that creature. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1), regaining all uses after a short or long rest. #### Expert of the Arcane *10th-level Archmage patron feature* Your next lesson has given insight on the practices of Mordenkainen, the plane walker. Whenever you are concentrating on a warlock spell, you can use a bonus action to grant yourself advantage on your choice of Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma ability checks for the spell's duration. Additionally, the first time that you would lose concentration on the spell, you can choose to maintain it instead. Once the spell you are concentrating on ends, you cannot use this feature again until you complete a short or long rest. #### Avatar of the Magi *14th-level Archmage patron feature* You have learned your final lesson from Pryxis, the world bearer. You have mastered that which your masters have taught you, and you speak the language of magic as fluently as your native tongue. As an action you can launch into an arcane incantation that suffuses the space around you with arcane power for 1 minute. During this time, if a creature that you can see attempts to target you with a spell or include you in a spell's area of effect, you may make a spellcasting ability check contested by the creature's spellcasting ability. On a success, the spell fails and the caster suffers psychic damage equal to your warlock level. On a failure, the spell succeeds as the caster intended. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
\pagebreakNum ### The Scarlet Lord
*Some entities and monsters out there are willing to make a simple trade of loyalty for future profiting.* -- **Pryxis**
Some exceptionally powerful sanguine entities such as vampire lords or similar corrupt creatures will instill a portion of their hunger in those willing to feed for them. Warlocks of the Scarlet Lord pay homage to their patron through the act of enacting blood magic on the world around them. The more blood they let flow, the more they please their master's insatiable hunger. #### Scarlet Lord Patron Magic The Scarlet Lord lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. ##### Scarlet Lord Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | *Inflict Wounds, Ray of Sickness* | | 2nd | *Blindness/Deafness, Blur* | | 3rd | *Feign Death, Life Transference* | | 4th | *Death Ward, Phantasmal Killer* | | 5th | *Dominate Person, Modify Memory* | #### Blood is Power *1st-level Scarlet Lord patron feature* You gain the ability to replace lost blood by infusing it with arcanic energy that you can call upon later. As a 1 hour ritual, you may sacrifice hit points equal to twice the level of your current warlock spell slot to gain an additional warlock spell slot of that level. The amount of extra spell slots you may make is equal to the maximum amount of warlock spell slots available to you. While you have these additional spell slots, your hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the hit points spent. These spell slots last until they are spent or you take a long rest, whichever happens first. #### Scarlet Mirror *6th-level Scarlet Lord patron feature* You have learned to retaliate in full to whatever damage a creature may inflict upon you. When you would be hit by an attack or damaging spell, you may use your reaction to sacrifice 1 hit point for every point of damage you have taken. You deal triple your sacrificed hit points as necrotic damage to the attacker. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. \columnbreak #### Life Siphon *10th-level Scarlet Lord patron feature* You can now subsume the blood of others to bolster your own lifeforce. As part of your attack action, When you deal necrotic damage with a spell or attack, you gain a number of hitpoints equal to the target's constitution score up to your hit point maximum. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1), regaining all uses after a short or long rest. #### Exsanguination *14th-level Scarlet Lord patron feature* Your Master has bestowed upon you the ability to render your enemies asunder. As a bonus action, when you hit a creature with a spell, you may sacrifice 5 hitpoints to deal additional necrotic damage to the target. The damage is 2d12 for the first 5 hitpoints sacrificed, plus 1d12 for every 5 additional hitpoints to a maximum of 5d12.
\pagebreakNum ### The Sphinx
*The inscrutable monstrosities that lend their advice and power through inane riddling.* -- **Pryxis**
Sphinxes; ancient and wise creatures whom hold uncountable secrets. Gatherers of forbidden knowledge and protector of secrets, these creatures bend space, time, and minds to guard their treasures - and issue tests to those who would seek knowledge for themselves. Some may even lend power through pacts, either as a means of accumulating more knowledge, or the pact itself may be a test of an individual's ability to utilize power. #### Sphinx Patron Magic The Sphinx lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you. ##### Sphinx Spells | Spell Level | Spells | |:---:|:-----------| | 1st | *Command, Feather Fall* | | 2nd | *Detect Thoughts, Phantasmal Force* | | 3rd | *Clairvoyance, Sending* | | 4th | *Arcane Eye, Confusion* | | 5th | *Legend Lore, Teleportation Circle* | #### Sphinx's Riddle *1st-level Sphinx patron feature* Your patron bestows upon you the power to mire the minds of your enemies with a riddle, question, or query. You learn the *Vicious Mockery* cantrip, and it does not count against your number of known cantrips. As an action, you can cause any number of creatures of your choice that can hear you within 30 feet of you to make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failure, the target is incapacitated until the end of its next turn. A creature automatically succeeds on its saving throw if it does not understand at least one language. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. \columnbreak #### Inscrutable Refuge *6th-level Sphinx patron feature* Your patron has granted you the ability to step into one of their personal pocket dimensions. As an action, you disappear from the world for a brief moment and enter an astral demiplane, taking advantage of its timeless nature. While in your astral refuge, you can take two actions to cast spells that target only you. After using those two actions, you return to the space you occupied and your turn ends. #### Time Jaunt *10th-level Sphinx patron feature* You are granted some of the temporal magic that your patron uses to protect itself. As a bonus action, choose a number of creatures you can see up to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). These creatures reroll their initiative. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. #### Riddlemaster *14th-level Sphinx patron feature* You can exact harsher punishment upon those who fail your mental tests. When a creature fails its saving throw against one of your *Sphinx's Riddles*, you can choose to banish it to a harmless demiplane within the astral plane. At the end of your next turn, the creature reappears in the space it previously occupied or the nearest unoccupied space. When it reappears, the creature is under the effects of the *Bane* spell until the end of its next turn.
\pagebreakNum ## Wizard Features You gain class features in the *Player's Handbook* when you reach certain levels in your class. This section offers additional features that you can gain as a wizard. Unlike the features in the *Player's Handbook*, you don't gain the features here automatically. Consulting with your DM, you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the level requirement noted in the feature's description. These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use one, both, or none of them. ### Arcane Lore *2nd-level wizard feature* ___ Your intricate studies of arcane knowledge have allowed to great insights into the effects of magic across the worlds and planes. You have advantage on all Intelligence checks when encountering any of the following magical effects (with DM's discretion): - Arcanic or Magical Languages - Arcane Books, Objects and Scrolls - Extraplanar Portals - Magical Environments or Structures - Spell-like Effects - Stray Magical Energies - Tears or Breaches in the Weave When rolling skill checks for these magical effects, you are considered proficient in the associated skills. If you are already proficient, you instead have expertise in the roll - adding double your proficiency modifier. \columnbreak ### Spell Etymology *7th-level wizard feature* ___ With the knowledge contained within your spellbook, you can trace the relationship of any given spell to those you know yourself, even having only briefly observed it. To trace the origins of a spell, you must have perceived the casting of a spell, the spell's effect, or both, within the last hour. If you have done so, you can take 10 minutes using your spellbook as a reference to make an Intelligence (Arcana) check. The DC equals 15 + the observed spell's level. At the end of the 10 minutes on a success, you identify the spell that was observed, and can then attempt to copy it into your spellbook at any time as if it were written on a *spell scroll*. The chance of failing to copy the spell and losing it represents the puzzling work of piecing together the spell's true formula from your personal reference only.
\pagebreakNum ## Wizard Traditions At 2nd level, a wizard gains the Arcane Tradition feature, which offers you the choice of a subclass. The following options are available to you when making that choice: *Forge Arcana*, *Hemomancy* and *Onomancy*. ### Forge Arcana
*Artificers excel at creating technological marvels and semi-magical objects - but the arcane smiths are those who create the stuff of legend.* -- **Pryxis**
It takes more than a strong arm and a smith's expertise to forge a weapon of mythical proportions. It takes knowledge of the materials necessary and the magic inherent in them through years of intensive study. Wizards that follow the tradition of Forge Arcana partake in the education of the intermingling of metallurgy and magical studies to create works of pure supernatural art. #### Of Metal and Parchment *2nd-level Forge Arcana feature* You have studied the marriage of metal and magic. You gain proficiency in Blacksmithing Tools. You also gain a special blacksmith's hammer, called an Arcanite Hammer, which you can use as a spellcasting focus, and a replacement for your spellbook. The hammer also allows you to perform smithing skill checks with your Intelligence instead of Strength or Dexterity. If you lose this hammer, you can teleport it to your hand as an action so long as it and you reside upon the same plane of existence. #### Half-Enchantments *2nd-level Forge Arcana feature* Learning of the working of spells into steel, you can now create temporarily powered magical objects. You can perform a 10-minute ritual with an anvil and arcanite hammer to inject temporary magical power into a weapon or piece of armor. You can give one of the half-enchantments to the object listed in the table at the end of the subclass. Some half-enchantments can only be given to certain items. An item can hold one half-enchantment at a time and the enchantment lasts for 12 hours unless the enchantment says it is lost otherwise. You can perform this ritual a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier, enchanting one item each time the ritual is performed. You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest. \columnbreak #### Arcanite Armory *6th-level Forge Arcana feature* Your Arcanite Hammer gains a special enchantment that allows you to store weapons and armor within it. As an action, you store a weapon or piece of armor that is not being wielded or worn into a pocket dimension within your hammer by tapping the object. You can also use an action to summon a weapon or piece of armor stored within the hammer and have it immediately equipped or worn by a creature within 30 feet that is unarmed or unarmored and it able to wield or wear it. #### Arcane Recharge *10th-level Forge Arcana feature* You have learned how to rechagre an enchanted item to be used again. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can touch one enchanted item and expend a number of spell slots based on the item's rarity, causing it to regain charges - if it has any - as if its conditions for recharging have been met. The table below shows a list of what spell slot is required to recharge an item. ##### Spell Slot Requirements | Item Rarity | Spell Slot Level | |:---:|:-----------| | Common | 1st | | Uncommon | 3rd | | Rare | 5th | | Very Rare | 7th | | Legendary | 9th | For example, you can expend a 1st level spell slot to recharge a *Wand of Magic Missiles* as if dawn had arisen, restoring the amount of charges that it's normal recharge state would grant it. If the enchanted item is completely, or mostly made of metal (such as a sword, or plate armor), then the item regains twice as many charges #### Permanent Enchantment *14th-level Forge Arcana feature* You have mastered the process of infusing magic into objects. You can cause half-enchantments put into weapons and armor to become permanent. This task takes 7 days, with 4 hour sessions a day, to perform for each item. When you do this, it reduces the number of non-permanent half-enchantments you can infuse into armor and weapons by one for each permanent enchantment you've created, and you can only have a number of permanent enchantments equal to your Intelligence modifier. You can dispel the magic of a permanent half-enchantment by focusing for a minute and speaking a command phrase you chose when you made the enchantment. You do not need to be near the object for this to take place. Permanent half-enchantments that have a limited number of uses regain their uses at the next dawn. \pagebreakNum

\pagebreakNum ### Hemomancy
*Indeed, even the most studious mages have studied the forbidden arts inherent in the blood.* -- **Pryxis**
The school of Hemomancy is amongst one of the most forbidden realms of magic that a wizard can delve into, but there will inevitably be those who can't be deterred from the grisly pursuit of blood magic and the raw power it can offer. There is great energy in the blood of all living creatures, and Hemomancers seek to take great advantage of such innate power. Unlike most other blood mages, Hemomancers focus their studies on augmenting their own blood, rather than sacrificing it for power. #### Hematic Savant *2nd-level Hemomancy feature* Your studies of blood magic has given you insight into anatomy. You gain proficiency in the Medicine skill. Additionally, you have learned how to use the magic within blood to see into the memories of the dead. Whenever you are next to a creature who has been dead no longer than 48 hours, you can spend 10 minutes performing a ritual involving the blood of the creature as you experience a vision relating to their life. When you do so, you can learn one of the following pieces of information: - The creature's name (creature name and personal name, if any) and creature type. - What manner the creature died, such as disease, poison, injury, or old age. - The creature's role in society, such as a profession (if it had one) or social status. - How long ago the creature died. - What was the last task the creature was carrying out before it died. Once you have used this feature, you cannot do so on the same corpse again. You learn one additional piece of information at 6th, 10th, and 14th level. #### Sanguine Shield *2nd-level Hemomancy feature* You have learned how to draw the power from your blood to harm others. As a bonus action, you can cause your blood to become volatile. Until the end of your next turn, whenever you take damage from a creature that you can see, that creature takes necrotic damage equal to your wizard level plus your Intelligence modifier. This feature can only be used once per turn. \columnbreak #### Crimson Regeneration *6th-level Hemomancy feature* You have harness the ability to speed up your blood's natural healing abilities. You regain hitpoints equal to half your Proficiency bonus (rounded down) each round. This regeneration does not restore lost body parts, but you may hold the severed body part to your stump and it will reattach after 10 minutes. #### Empowered Veins *10th-level Hemomancy feature* You have become fully attuned to the magic within your blood. You no longer need an arcane focus for casting spells, utilizing your own blood as your focus. Additionally, your maximum hitpoints can no longer be reduced, as you exert control over your blood. You also become immune to disease and poison. #### Cruor Magi *14th-level Hemomancy feature* You have mastered the art of blood magic. Whenever you successfully hit a creature with a spell attack, you can use your bonus action to draw some of their blood for you to consume. When you do so, choose one of the following effects. - **Blood Reservoir.** You consume the life force of the creature, and you regain hitpoints equal to the creature's Constitution score plus your Proficiency bonus. - **Bloodshape.** You consume the essence of the creature. Until you finish a long rest, you can cast the spell *Alter Self* as an action without expending a spell slot. You take the form of the creature you consumed, and you have advantage on Charisma checks made to pass yourself off as the creature. When you use this feature, the spell lasts for 4 hours. - **Bloody Defense.** You consume the raw strength from within the creature. Until you finish a long rest, you gain one damage resistance or condition immunity that the creature had. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
\pagebreakNum ### Onomancy
*The practice of utilizing the true names of reality lead many to great heights of power, and deep pits of infamy.* -- **Pryxis**
Practitioners of magic well know the power of names, but wizards who follow the tradition of Onomancy use their magic to manipulate the words that encompass existence. Onomancers expand their study into language itself, searching for threads of magical significance that weave through the true names of creatures and objects. Something that is named stands out in the multiverse, distinct from the tapestry of creation all around it. > ##### True Names > Names have power. Every object and living thing has a true name, that which ties its very being to the fabric of the universe. Most never know their true name or even its existence. Onomancers are wizards that have dedicated their lives to studying the nature of the weave and the names that link living beings to it. Through intensive training, those who follow the school of Onomancy have gained the ability to identify a creature’s true name and use that name to enhance their spellwork. #### True Namer *2nd-level Onomancy feature* You have studied the ineffable force of names; the soul of their reality. You learn two of the following languages: Abyssal, Celestial, Draconic, Deep Speech, Infernal or Primordial. You also gain proficiency in Calligrapher's Tools. You can magically compel a creature to divulge its true name. As a bonus action, you target one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The target must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. The target may choose to fail this save. On a successful save you fail to learn the target's name and you must expend a spell slot to use this feature on this target again. On a failed save, the target is charmed by you until the end of your next turn, and you mentally learn the charmed target’s given name and true name or the fact that the target lacks a given name. \columnbreak #### Fateful Naming *2nd-level Onomancy feature* You can bend magic to assist or hinder creatures through the power of their true names, and even use those names as an anchor to affect others around them. The *Bane*, *Bless*, and *Command* spells are wizard spells for you, and you add them to your spellbook. You always have them prepared, yet they don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare. You can cast these spells without expending a spell slot or material components if you speak the true name of one target of the spell as part of casting it. You can cast the spells in this way a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. #### Resonant Utterance *6th-level Onomancy feature* You have learned methods through which you may weave magic into the true names of creatures. You learn words of power called Resonants, which allow you to tailor your spells through the use of a target’s true name. You learn two Resonants of your choice, which are detailed in the *Resonant Options* section later in this subclass. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one resonant you know with a different one. You learn an additional Resonant at 14th level. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, you may apply a Resonant you know to one of the targets of the spell by weaving their True Name into the casting - if you know their True Name. This adds a verbal component to the spell. You can use Resonants a number of times equal to half of your wizard level (rounded down), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. #### Onomastic Revelation *10th-level Onomancy feature* You have great sway over the presence of creatures whose True Name you know. You add the *Banishment* and *Sending* spells to your spellbook, if they are not there already. You always have the spells prepared, and they don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you know the True Name of the target creature, the spell requires no material or somatic components, and your Sending spell does not have a chance to fail even if the creature is on another plane of existence. You can cast each of these spells once without expending a spell slot or material components if you speak the true name of one target of the spell as part of casting it, and you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest. \pagebreakNum #### Epithet Binding *14th-level Onomancy feature* You now know how to forcibly bind a creature into your service by uttering and charging its true name. You add the *Planar Binding* spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. You always have the spell prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. Additionally, if you know the True Name of the target creature, you can cast the spell as a ritual at the highest level for which you have spell slots, requiring no material components. You can only have one creature affected by the spell cast in this way at a time. If you already have a creature bound by the ritual and you cast the spell as a ritual on a different creature, the spell immediately ends for the first creature. \columnbreak #### Resonant Options Some Resonants have level prerequisites. They use your wizard level to meet these prerequisites. - **Absorption (10th level).** When you cast a spell that deals damage to the named creature, you gain a font of healing equal to half the damage they took.
