Introduction
Finally, an individual wise enough to pick up the right resources! For many years have I battled the forces of falseness, the banes of truth, the paragons of miscalculation. I have seen countless theories put to the test, some passing and becoming accepted as truth while others are burned in the searing light of mathematics. The eldritch forces of the demon lord Arr'Thrae'Di'Ziggs sent forth legions of incompetent Vengeance Paladins, rushing to the front lines even as my skeletons gunned them down.
I witnessed the armies of Spores Druids whacking with polearms and casting shillelagh in an attempt to show their power, and laughed as a lone Shepherd Druid massacred them all in his sleep. I saw into the darkness with Devil's Sight and was not impressed. Only real strength matters in a world like ours, only the genuinely mighty will be left standing when the dragon is slain and the dungeon yields its treasure.
What You Will Find In This Book
This book contains new content such as:
- Additional class features made in an attempt to balance out the power of classes
- A rework of the weapon system so that there is a point to picking something other than a crossbow
- Rewritten versions of some of the many terrible and bad spells in 5th edition
- New feats
- Fixes to homebrew classes
- Rules for exploration in the Svalich Woods in Curse of Strahd
- A bestiary with new monsters
I always wanted to write a guide to something...

New and Changed Features
RAGE
By harnessing your anger, you are able to perform feats most people would consider impossible. You have a number of Rages, as shown in the Barbarian class table above, and can expend them to activate Rage Powers(see below). You regain all expended Rages upon completing a short or long rest.
RECKLESS ATTACK
Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength until the start of your next turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.
Starting at 9th level, if you use this feature and the lower d20 roll would also be sufficient to hit, the attack is automatically a critical hit.
BARBARIC STRATEGIES
Finally at 2nd level, you gain two abilities that exemplify your brutal tactics, and gain more as you level up. Choose from the options listed below. Level prerequisites refer to your barbarian level. Each time you level up in this class, you can replace one strategy with another for which you qualify.
IMPROVED CRITICAL
Starting at 3rd level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
EXTRA ATTACK
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Additionally, when you score a hit against a creature with a melee weapon attack, you gain a +2 bonus to Wisdom saving throws against effects caused by it until the start of your next turn.
REMARKABLE ATHLETE
Starting at 7th level, you can add half your proficiency bonus (round up) to any Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution check you make that doesn't already use your proficiency bonus.
In addition, when you make a running long jump, the distance you can cover increases by a number of feet equal to your Strength modifier.
BRUTISH DURABILITY
Beginning at 9th level, your toughness allows you to shrug off assaults that would devastate others.
Whenever you make a saving throw, roll 1d6 and add the die to your saving throw total. If applying this bonus to a death saving throw increases the total to 20 or higher, you gain the benefits of rolling a 20 on the d20.
FIGHTING STYLE
At 10th level, you can choose an option from the fighter's Fighting Style class feature.
RELENTLESS RAGE
At 11th level, your mastery of your rage becomes even greater. Whenever you would roll initiative and have no Rage remaining, you regain one Rage.
Additionally, if you drop to 0 hit points and don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.
Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the DC resets to 10.
Superior Critical
Starting at 15th level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18-20.
Survivor
At 18th level, you attain the pinnacle of resilience in battle. At the start of each of your turns, you regain hit points equal to 5 + your Constitution modifier if you have no more than half of your hit points left. You don't gain this benefit if you have 0 hit points.
If you run out of analog barbarian, just switch to electric. Problem solved.

When you would use a Rage Power as an action, you can expend one additional Rage to instead use it as a bonus action. When you would use a Rage Power as a bonus action, you can expend one additional Rage to instead use it without any action required. You can only use this feature once per turn.
Thrown Weapon Master
Prerequisite: 5th level
When you take the Attack action and make a ranged attack with a thrown weapon you are proficient with, you can make one additional ranged attack with a thrown weapon as a bonus action.

At level 1, you know 4 Rage Powers of your choice, and you learn more as you level up. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can choose to replace one Rage Power with a different Rage Power that you qualify for.
Each Rage Power has the following description:
Activation: How long it takes for a Rage Power to activate - typically an action or bonus action.
Rage Cost: How many Rages need to be expended to activate a Rage Power.
Effect: The effects of the Rage Power.

On a successful save, they are pushed back but not knocked prone. A creature that collides with another creature or object does not get pushed back further and they both take 3d6 bludgeoning damage.

Skull-Splitting Blow

Regardless of whether you hit or miss, you have advantage on all attacks until the end of the combat and the next five hits you score are critical hits and ignore all resistances and immunities.

A wise man once said, if your martials aren't working you just need to turn them into the right dragon. Well, there's no dragon on the list here, but those Ravnica folks have gators.

Totemic Attunement
At 14th level, your choice of spirit animal gives you an additional benefit.

That creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your Strength bonus + your proficiency bonus) or be knocked prone and take bludgeoning damage equal to 1d12 + your Strength modifier.

When you cast a necromancy cantrip that normally targets only one creature, the spell can instead target two creatures within range and within 5 feet of each other. At 17th level, when you cast a necromancy spell of 5th level or lower that normally targets only one creature, you can instead target two creatures within range and within 5 feet of each other.

- Your hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to half your level.
- If you would drop to 0 hit points as a result of taking damage, or you are subjected to an effect that kills you outright, you can choose to end this feature's effect and instead drop to 1 hit point, or negate the effect that would have killed you. You must have your weapon on your person to use this effect. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

You gain fangs or claws(your choice), which feature prominently on your body. You gain proficiency in Intimidation, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for checks you make using this skill.
Your fangs or claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make a special attack.
- When you make an attack with your claws, do not make an attack roll. Instead, the target takes necrotic damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.
- Your bite uses your Constitution modifier for the attack and damage rolls. On a hit, it deals 2d6 + your Constitution modifier necrotic damage. Every time you miss with an attack using your bite, increase the die size by one step(from 2d6 to 2d8, 2d8 to 2d10, 2d10 to 2d12), to a maximum of 2d12. This resets to 2d6 when you hit with the bite, or when you roll initiative.

Potent Spellcasting
You can add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.
Mastery of Death
At 17th level, you have achieved the pinnacle of your craft. Choose any two necromancy spells, one of 1st level and one 2nd-level. You can cast both of them at will, without requiring a spell slot or components. When you do so, they are considered to be cast at 2nd level.

As an action, you present your holy symbol, and one celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend of your choice that is within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw, provided that the creature can see or hear you. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly end its move in 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, then the creature can use the Dodge action.
After you reach 5th level, when a creature fails its saving throw against your Arcane Abjuration feature, the creature is banished for 1 minute (as in the banishment spell, no concentration required) if it isn't on its plane of origin, and its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown below.
Arcane Banishment
Cleric level | Banishes Creatures of CR... |
---|---|
5th | 1/2 or lower |
8th | 1 or lower |
11th | 2 or lower |
14th | 3 or lower |
17th | 4 or lower |
20th | 5 or lower |
Spell Breaker
Starting at 6th level, when you restore hit points to an ally with a spell of 1st level or higher, you can also end one spell of your choice on that creature. The level of the spell you end must be equal to or lower than the level of the spell slot you use to cast the healing spell.
Potent Spellcasting
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip or domain spell.
Arcane Mastery
At 17th level, you choose four spells from the Wizard spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. You add them to your list of domain spells. Like your other domain spells, they are always prepared and count as cleric spells for you.
Ocean Domain
Ocean Domain Spells
Cleric Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | create or destroy water, armor of agathys |
3rd | tidal wave, wall of water |
5th | fly, lightning bolt |
7th | cone of cold, steel wind strike |
9th | bigby's hand, transmute rock |
Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this domain at 1st level you gain proficiency with martial weapons and heavy armor. In addition, you learn the shape water cantrip, which counts as a cleric cantrip for you.
Swimmer
Also at 1st level, you gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed. If you already have a swimming speed, it is increased by 10 feet.
Wrath of the Sea
Lastly at 1st level, you can cause your enemies to be slammed down as if hit by waves. As an action, you can conjure ethereal waves in a 10-foot cube you can see within 60 feet. Creatures within the area must make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be knocked prone. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, and regain all expended uses after a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Swirling Grasp
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to conjure a mass of swirling water to attack your enemies. As an action, you present your holy symbol and cause water particles to coalesce to a point within 30 feet of you into a Medium force. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move it up to 15 feet and make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of it. On a hit, the creature takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage and is grappled, with an escape DC equal to your spell save DC. While grappled, the creature is also restrained.
Channel Divinity: Call the Waves
At 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to summon primordial waters from beneath the earth.
As an action, you present your holy symbol and waves start to flow around you to a 30-foot radius for 1 minute. This area is considered difficult terrain for creatures without a swimming speed. If you use your Wrath of the Sea feature, it is a 15-foot cube instead of a 10-foot one as long as at least half of the area is within the radius of this feature.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 cold damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Empowered Grasp
At 17th level, your Channel Divinities become more powerful. Your Swirling Grasp now creates two Large forces, both of which can be controlled with the same bonus action, and your Call the Waves has a 40-foot radius.
Life Domain
Life Domain Spells
Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | bless, goodberry |
3rd | aid, healing spirit |
5th | aura of vitality, revivify |
7th | death ward, guardian of faith |
9th | circle of power, Rary's telepathic bond |
Bonus Proficiency
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with heavy armor.
Disciple of Life
Also starting at 1st level, your healing spells are more effective. Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level.
Variant: Disciple of Life
Also starting at 1st level, your healing spells are more effective. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level.This version doesn't work with lifeberry. While I have nothing against it, and am indeed a fan of it in vanilla 5e, I aim to hopefully make the rest of the healing options in this game good enough that it won't be the only based option for the job anymore. When that happens, it will be pointless from a design standpoint to leave its monopoly on hit point restoration unchanged.
Channel Divinity: Preserve Life
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to heal the badly injured.
As an action, you present your holy symbol and evoke healing energy that can restore a number of hit points equal to five times your cleric level plus your Wisdom modifier. Choose any creatures within 30 feet of you, and divide those hit points among them. You can't use this feature on an undead or a construct.
Blessed Healer
Beginning at 6th level, the healing spells you cast on others heal you as well. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points to a creature other than you, you regain hit points equal to twice the spell's level.
Divine Protector
From 1st level, your god delivers bolts of inspiration to you while you are engaged in battle. When you use the Attack action or cast a cantrip or a spell that restores hit points, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1+ your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of twice). You regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Once per combat, when you score a critical hit with an attack or a creature rolls a 1 on the d20 on the saving throw against your spell, your magic explodes in a surge of revitalizing energy and causes every creature of your choice within 30 feet of you to regain hit points equal to your level.
Supreme Healing
Starting at 17th level, when you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell, you instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a creature, you restore 12.
Order Domain
Order Domain Spells
Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | command, silvery barbs |
3rd | shatter, suggestion |
5th | daylight, dispel magic |
7th | banishment, Raulothim's psychic lance |
9th | commune, conjure celestial |
Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with heavy armor. You also gain proficiency in the Intimidation or Persuasion skill (your choice), and your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability checks that use this skill.
Embodiment of the Law
At 6th level, you become remarkably adept at channeling magical energy to compel others. Whenever you cast the command spell, it is treated as cast with a spell slot 1 higher than the one you used. Additionally, if an enemy attempts to prevent you from casting command, for example by using counterspell, and fails to do so, you can choose for it to be affected by the spell too. If you do so, it makes its saving throw with disadvantage.
If you cast a spell of the enchantment school using a spell slot of 1st level or higher, you can change the spell's casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting, provided the spell's casting time is normally 1 action.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 psychic damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
A creature that takes this damage is cursed. The next time one of your allies hits the cursed creature with an attack, the target takes the psychic damage again, and the curse ends. You can curse a creature in this way only once per turn.
Avatar of Order
At 17th level, you can impose your will on the universe itself, forcing order to spring into existence.
As a bonus action, you can unleash the power of order. Until the end of your next turn, you cannot roll less than a 10 on the d20 when making an attack roll, ability check or saving throw. You can use this ability once, and regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Tempest Domain
Tempest Domain Spells
Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | fog cloud, thunderwave |
3rd | shatter, silence |
5th | lightning bolt, sleet storm |
7th | investiture of wind, investiture of ice |
9th | crown of stars, draconic transformation |
Bonus Proficiencies
At 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and heavy armor.
Wrath of the Storm
Also at 1st level, you can thunderously rebuke attackers. When a creature within 5 feet of you that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to cause the creature to make a Dexterity saving throw. The creature takes 2d8 lightning or thunder damage (your choice) on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, it is also unable to take reactions until the end of its next turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Channel Divinity: Destructive Wrath
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to wield the power of the storm with unchecked ferocity.
When you roll lightning or thunder damage, you can use your Channel Divinity to deal maximum damage, instead of using the result of the roll.
Thunderbolt Strike
At 6th level, when you deal lightning or thunder damage to a Large or smaller creature, you can also push it up to 10 feet away from you.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Stormborn
At 17th level, you have a flying speed equal to your current walking speed, or twice your current walking speed whenever you are not underground or indoors.
Trickery Domain
Trickery Domain Spells
Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | disguise self, mirror image |
3rd | invisibility, pass without trace |
5th | blink, major image |
7th | dimension door, polymorph |
9th | seeming, modify memory |
Blessing of the Trickster
Starting when you choose this domain at 1st level, you can use your action to touch a willing creature other than yourself to give it advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. This blessing lasts for 1 hour or until you use this feature again.
Know Your Own Tricks
Also at 1st level, you gain truesight to a range of 10 feet.
Channel Divinity: Invoke Duplicity
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to create an illusory duplicate of yourself.
As an action, you create a perfect illusion of yourself that lasts for 1 minute, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell, although this effect does not prevent you from concentrating on a spell at the same time). The illusion appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the illusion up to 30 feet to a space you can see, but it must remain within 120 feet of you.
For the duration, you can cast spells as though you were in the illusion's space, but you must use your own senses. Additionally, when both you and your illusion are within 5 feet of a creature that can see the illusion, you have advantage on attack rolls against that creature, given how distracting the illusion is to the target.
Cloak of Shadows
Starting at 6th level, you can slip into the shadows around you. As an action, you can become invisible until the end of your next turn. You become visible if you attack or cast a spell.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with poison—a gift from your deity. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 2d8 poison damage to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 3d8.
Improved Duplicity
At 17th level, you can create up to four duplicates of yourself, instead of one, when you use Invoke Duplicity. As a bonus action on your turn, you can move any number of them up to 30 feet, to a maximum range of 120 feet.

At 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and heavy armor.
Fighting Style
Also at 1st level, you gain one fighting style chosen from those available to the fighter or paladin class.
Channel Divinity: Guided Strike
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to strike with supernatural accuracy. When you or an ally within 30 feet makes an attack roll, you can use your Channel Divinity to grant a +10 bonus to the roll. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before the DM says whether the attack hits or misses. If the result of the attack roll exceeds the target's AC, take note of the amount by which it beat the AC. Every subsequent time the affected ally makes an attack roll while this number exceeds zero and misses, add the minimum number required to make the attack hit and subtract it from this number. If there are insufficient points in this pool left to let the attack hit, the effect ends.
Extra Attack
At 6th level, you can make two weapon attacks instead of one when you take the Attack action on your turn.
Divine Strike
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Avatar of Battle
At 17th level, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks.

As an action, you present your holy symbol, and any magical darkness within 30 feet of you is dispelled. Additionally, each hostile creature within 30 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. A creature takes radiant damage equal to a number of d10s equal to your proficiency bonus + your cleric level on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that has total cover from you is not affected.

Druid
Circle of the Moon
Combat Wild Shape
You gain the ability to use Wild Shape on your turn as a bonus action, rather than as an action.
Additionally, you gain one additional use of Wild Shape, and when you use your Wild Shape feature, your new form gains temporary hit points equal to your druid level.
Circle Forms
The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into more dangerous animal forms. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into a beast with a challenge rating as high as 1 (you ignore the Max. CR column of the Beast Shapes table, but must abide by the other limitations there).
Starting at 6th level, you can transform into a beast with a challenge rating as high as half your druid level, rounded down.
Primal Strikes
Starting at 6th level, your attacks in beast form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn, and you gain advantage on the first melee attack you make on each of your turns.. Additionally, when you take the Multiattack action on your turn, you can make one additional weapon attack as a bonus action.
Elemental Wild Shape
At 10th level, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape at the same time to transform into an air elemental, an earth elemental, a fire elemental, or a water elemental. At 15th level, you can also choose to turn into an air elemental myrmidon, an earth elemental myrmidon, a fire elemental myrmidon, or a water elemental myrmidon.
Thousand Forms
By 14th level, you have learned to use magic to alter your physical form in more subtle ways. You can cast the alter self spell at will, and when you do so it does not require concentration for you. Additionally, you can change your creature type to beast or monstrosity as a bonus action. As a bonus action, you can revert to your original creature type.
Circle of Dreams
Balm of the Summer Court
At 2nd level, you become imbued with the blessings of the Summer Court. You are a font of energy that offers respite from injuries. You have a pool of fey energy represented by a number of d6s equal to your druid level.
As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of those dice equal to half your druid level or less. Roll the spent dice and add them together. The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total. The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.
You regain all expended dice when you finish a long rest.
Circle Spells
You gain access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Dreams Spells table.
Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn't appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.
Circle of Dreams Spells
Level | Spells |
---|---|
2nd | arcane guardian, sleep |
3rd | augury, blindness/deafness |
5th | catnap, hypnotic pattern |
7th | hallucinatory terrain, Raulothim's psychic lance |
9th | dream, synaptic static |
Hearth of Moonlight and Shadow
At 6th level, home can be wherever you are. During a short or long rest, you can invoke the shadowy power of the Gloaming Court to help guard your respite. At the start of the rest, you touch a point in space, and an invisible, 30-foot-radius sphere of magic appears, centered on that point. Total cover blocks the sphere.
While within the sphere, you and your allies gain a +5 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) and Wisdom (Perception) checks, and any light from open flames in the sphere (a campfire, torches, or the like) isn't visible outside it.
The sphere vanishes at the end of the rest or when you leave the sphere.
Walker in Dreams
At 14th level, the magic of the Feywild grants you the ability to travel mentally or physically through dreamlands.
When you finish a short rest, you can cast one of the following spells, without expending a spell slot or requiring material components: dream (with you as the messenger), scrying, or teleportation circle.
This use of teleportation circle is special. Rather than opening a portal to a permanent teleportation circle, it opens a portal to the last location where you finished a long rest on your current plane of existence. If you haven't taken a long rest on your current plane, the spell fails but isn't wasted.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Specialties
As a Fighter, you have a number of Specialties, as detailed in the class table. You can choose them from the list at the end of the class description. Every time you gain a level, you can swap one Specialty for a different one.
Tactical Mastery
Remove the Battle Master subclass. Instead, at the levels indicated by the subclass, all Fighters gain the subclass's features. The 3rd-level features are instead gained at 2nd level. Add your Intelligence modifier(minimum of +1) to the number of maneuvers you know.
Strike First, Strike Hard
At 3rd level, you excel at your chosen form of combat. Choose one of the abilities below:
Strike First
You gain a +2 bonus to initiative rolls if you are not surprised. This increases to +4 at 9th level.
Strike Hard
When you score a hit with a melee weapon during the first round of a combat, you can add half your proficiency bonus to the damage roll. This increases to your proficiency bonus at 9th level.
Formation
At 7th level, you learn to command your allies to capitalize on an enemy's weakness. You can use a bonus action on your turn to choose up to three creatures that can see or hear you. Each creature can use its reaction to make a weapon attack against a creature of your choice within 60 feet of you. You must choose the same target for all creatures.
You can use this feature twice, and regain all expended uses upon completing a long rest.
Indomitable(Reworked)
Instead of rerolling the save, you automatically succeed.
Aura of Valor
At 15th level, you are a shining paragon of combat mastery. All allies within 20 feet of you gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls.
New Maneuvers
Crippling Attack
When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend a superiority die. The next time the target makes a saving throw before the start of your next turn, roll the superiority die and subtract it from the roll.
Enhanced Resilience(Echo Knight Only)
When your echo takes damage, you can roll a superiority die(no action required) and add half your fighter level. If the result is greater or equal to the damage the echo took, the damage is reduced to zero.
Flopping Attack
When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend a superiority die to add the result to the damage. Additionally, choose one of the following effects:
- One gremishka within 30 feet of you regains a use of Magic Allergy
- One gremishka swarm within 30 feet of you regains the use of its reaction
- One moorbounder or bristled moorbounder within 30 feet of you can use its reaction to move up to its speed and make a melee weapon attack.
Heart Attack
You can expend and roll a superiority die to kill yourself as a bonus action. If the next character you play is a fullcaster, you can add the result of the roll to the first saving throw you make.
Simping Attack(Requires Strixhaven rules)
When you hit with a weapon attack while your Beloved is within 30 feet and can see you, you can expend a superiority die and add twice the number rolled to the damage roll. Additionally, you gain immunity to the charmed condition until the start of your next turn.
Tax Evading Attack
When you hit with a weapon attack, you can roll a superiority die and add it to the damage roll. If you roll a 4 or higher, the maneuver does not cost a superiority die.
If swinging a sword all day long is too depressing for you, you may wish to consider ghostlancing, getting turned into a dragon, or walking into a fireball zone and hoping for reincarnation.
Specialties
Angelic Blessing
Prerequisite: Angel's Gift
When you deal additional damage through the use of a maneuver, you can choose for the damage to be radiant. Additionally, any hit you score against a creature vulnerable to radiant damage is a critical hit.
Angel's Gift
You gain resistance to radiant and necrotic damage, and effects that would reduce your hit point maximum reduce half the normal number of hit points.
Back in Formation
As a reaction on your turn, you can move up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks, but you must end your turn within 5 feet of an ally.
Bait Them
When an enemy comes within 10 feet of you, you can use your reaction to immediately move up to half your speed without provoking opportunity attacks. Once you have used this feature, you cannot use it again until you roll initiative again.
Challenge Enemy
When a hostile creature that you can see makes an attack against a creature other than you while within your reach, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against it. Once you have used this feature on an enemy, you cannot target a different creature with it until you roll initiative again.
Combat Agility
Before making an opportunity attack, you can move a number of feet equal to five times your Dexterity modifier(minimum of 5 feet).
Fearmonger
You have advantage on attack rolls against creatures frightened of you.
Fey Blessing

You can cast misty step once without requiring a spell slot or components, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a short or long rest.
Fiendish Blessing
Prerequisite: Fiend's Gift
As a bonus action, you can ignite the area around you with hellfire. For a number of rounds equal to your proficiency bonus, all creatures within 10 feet of you take fire damage equal to your Constitution modifier(minimum of 1). You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a short rest.
Fiend's Gift
You have resistance to poison and fire damage, and are considered adapted to hot climates(see DMG). Additionally, you have advantage on saving throws against the poisoned condition. You cannot take both this and the Angel's Gift specialty.
Mighty Leap
As a bonus action, you can leap up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.
Nimble Attacker
Once per turn, when you make an attack with a finesse weapon, you can move up to five feet without provoking opportunity attacks.
Opportunist
You have a number of additional reactions equal to half your proficiency bonus, which you can only use to make opportunity attacks.
Press the Foe
As a bonus action, you can adapt a fighting stance suited for forcing your enemies back. The first time you hit a Large or smaller creature within 5 feet of you with a weapon attack before the end of your next turn, you can force the target to make a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your bonus to attacks with the weapon). On a failed save, it is pushed back 5 feet, and you can immediately move into the space it just vacated without provoking opportunity attacks.
Promising Commander
As an action, you can gain tactical insight. For one minute, once per turn you can utter a special command or warning whenever an ally you can see within 30 feet makes an attack roll or saving throw. This creature can add a d4 to the roll provided it can hear and understand you. A creature can only benefit from one such die at a time. Once you’ve used this feature, you must complete a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Shove Attacker
When you make an opportunity attack, you can instead attempt to shove the target.
Two-handed Adept
When you hit a creature with a two-handed weapon, it suffers a -1 penalty to all saving throws until the end of its next turn.
Arcane Archer
Arcane Archer Lore
At 3rd level, you learn magical theory or some of the secrets of nature—typical for practitioners of this elven martial tradition. You choose to gain proficiency in either the Arcana or the Nature skill, and you learn two druid cantrips of your choice.
Arcane Shot
At 3rd level, you learn to unleash special magical effects with some of your shots. When you gain this feature, you learn two Arcane Shot options of your choice (see "Arcane Shot Options" below).
Once per turn when you fire a piece of ammunition from a ranged weapon with the ammunition property as part of the Attack action, you can apply one of your Arcane Shot options to that attack. You decide to use the option when the attack hits a creature, unless the option doesn't involve an attack roll. You have a number of uses of this ability equal to 1 + one-third your fighter level, rounding up, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.
You gain an additional Arcane Shot option of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th, 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level. Each option also improves when you become a 5th, 11th and 17th-level fighter.
Magic Arrow
At 7th level, you gain the ability to infuse arrows with magic. Whenever you fire a piece of nonmagical ammunition from a ranged weapon, you can make it magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. The magic fades from the arrow immediately after it hits or misses its target.
Curving Shot
At 7th level, you learn how to direct an errant arrow toward a new target. When you make an attack roll enhanced by your Arcane Shot and miss, you can use a bonus action to reroll the attack roll against a different target within 60 feet of the original target.
Secrets of the Arcane
At 10th level, your skill at magic lets you explore other fields. Choose two 2nd-level wizard spells that affect a creature, point or an area. When you hit a creature with an attack enhanced by Arcane Shot, you can use your reaction to case one of those spells, centered on the target or targeting the same creature. Your spellcasting ability for these spells is Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma or Dexterity(your choice). You can cast each spell in this way once, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a long rest.
Ever-Ready Shot
Starting at 15th level, your magical archery is available whenever battle starts. If you roll initiative and have no uses of Arcane Shot remaining, you regain one use of it.
Fireball Shot
At 18th level, your skill at making arcane arrows is beyond compare. When you hit a creature with an attack enhanced by Arcane Shot, you can use your reaction to cast fireball at 9th level centered on the target. You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a long rest. You can use your maneuver save DC in place of a spell save DC.
Arcane Shot Options
The Arcane Shot feature lets you choose options for it at certain levels. The options are presented here in alphabetical order. They are all magical effects, and each one is associated with one of the schools of magic.
If an option requires a saving throw, your Arcane Shot save DC is calculated as follows:
Arcane Shot save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Banishing Arrow.
You use abjuration magic to try to temporarily banish your target to a harmless location in the Feywild. The creature hit by the attack must also succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be banished. While banished in this way, the target's speed is 0, and it is incapacitated. At the end of its next turn, the target reappears in the space it vacated or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
When you reach 7th level in this class, a target also takes 2d6 force damage when the arrow hits it. This increases to 3d6 at 11th level and 4d6 at 17th level.
Beguiling Arrow.
Your enchantment magic causes this arrow to temporarily beguile its target. The creature hit by the attack takes an extra 2d6 psychic damage, and choose one of your allies within 30 feet of the target. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or it is charmed by the chosen ally until the start of your next turn. This effect ends early if the chosen ally attacks the charmed target, deals damage to it, or forces it to make a saving throw.
The psychic damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 7th level in this class. This increases to 5d6 at 11th level and 6d6 at 17th level.
Bursting Arrow.
You imbue your attack with force energy drawn from the school of evocation. The energy detonates after your attack. Immediately after the attack hits the creature, the target and all other creatures within 10 feet of it take 2d6 force damage each.
The force damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 7th level in this class. This increases to 5d6 at 11th level and 6d6 at 17th level.
Enfeebling Arrow.
You weave necromantic magic into your attack. The creature hit by the attack takes an extra 2d6 necrotic damage. The target must also succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or the damage dealt by its weapon attacks is halved until the start of your next turn. Additionally, you gain temporary hit points equal to the necrotic damage dealt by the attack.
The necrotic damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 7th level in this class. This increases to 5d6 at 11th level and 6d6 at 17th level.
Grasping Arrow.
When this attack strikes its target, conjuration magic creates grasping, poisonous brambles, which wrap around the target. The creature hit by the attack takes an extra 2d6 poison damage, its speed is reduced by 10 feet, and it takes 2d6 slashing damage the first time on each turn it moves 1 foot or more without teleporting. The target or any creature that can reach it can use its action to remove the brambles with a successful Strength (Athletics) check against your Arcane Shot save DC. Otherwise, the brambles last for 1 minute or until you use this option again.
The poison damage and slashing damage both increase to 4d6 when you reach 7th level in this class. This increases to 5d6 at 11th level and 6d6 at 17th level.
Piercing Arrow.
You use transmutation magic to give your arrow an ethereal quality. When you use this option, you don't make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, the arrow shoots forward in a line, which is 1 foot wide and 30 feet long, before disappearing. The arrow passes harmlessly through objects, ignoring cover. Each creature in that line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow, plus an extra 1d6 piercing damage. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage.
The piercing damage increases to 2d6 when you reach 7th level in this class. This increases to 3d6 at 11th level and 4d6 at 17th level.
Seeking Arrow.
Using divination magic, you grant your attack the ability to seek out a target. When you use this option, you don't make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, choose one creature you have seen in the past minute. The attack flies toward that creature, moving around corners if necessary and ignoring three-quarters cover and half cover. If the target is within the weapon's range and there is a path large enough for the ammunition to travel to the target, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. Otherwise, the ammunition disappears after traveling as far as it can. On a failed save, the target takes damage as if it were hit by the attack, plus an extra 1d6 force damage, and you learn the target's current location. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, and you don't learn its location.
The force damage increases to 2d6 when you reach 7th level in this class. This increases to 3d6 at 11th level and 4d6 at 17th level.
Shadow Arrow.
You weave illusion magic into your attack, causing it to occlude your foe's vision with shadows. The creature hit by the attack takes an extra 2d6 psychic damage, and it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be unable to see anything farther than 5 feet away until the start of your next turn.
The psychic damage increases to 4d6 when you reach 7th level in this class. This increases to 5d6 at 11th level and 6d6 at 17th level.
Purple Dragon Knight
Rallying Cry
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to inspire your allies to fight on past their injuries.
When you use your Second Wind feature, you can choose up to three creatures within 60 feet of you that are allied with you. Each one regains hit points equal to your fighter level, provided that the creature can see or hear you.
Commander
Also at 3rd level, you command a small warband of followers. You have a number of followers equal to 2 + 1/4 your level in this class(rounded up). Whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace followers(living or dead) with new ones, to a maximum of your proficiency bonus. Your followers appear within 15 feet of you when you do so, and follow your verbal commands in combat(no action required).
The word Elite in parentheses denotes elite troops - no more than half your followers may be elites. Troops with the Champion keyword count as two followers. Troops with the Poor keyword count as half a follower. Master troops count as four followers.
Your troops act on your initiative, and can be drawn from one(and only one) of the three lists presented below. Additionally, your troops all gain one additional feature, called a Faction Bonus. You also learn an additional exclusive maneuver.
Royal Envoy
At 7th level, you gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill. If you are already proficient in it, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Insight, Intimidation, or Performance.
Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses Persuasion. You receive this benefit regardless of the skill proficiency you gain from this feature.
Combat Mastery
Also at 7th level, you recruit more elite warriors. Your followers' weapon attacks are treated as magical, and gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
Inspiring Surge
Starting at 10th level, when you use your Action Surge feature, you can choose one creature within 60 feet of you that is allied with you. That creature can make one melee or ranged weapon attack with its reaction, provided that it can see or hear you.
Starting at 18th level, you can choose two allies within 60 feet of you, rather than one.
Bulwark
Beginning at 15th level, you can extend the benefit of your Indomitable feature to an ally. When you decide to use Indomitable to succeed on a saving throw and you aren't incapacitated, you can choose one ally within 60 feet of you that also failed its saving throw against the same effect. If that creature can see or hear you, it also succeeds on the saving throw.
Troop List 1: Cultists
Faction Bonus: Fanatical Devotion. Once per round, when one of your followers hits a creature with a weapon attack, you can command them to empower the blow with their own life force. The follower expends a hit die, and deals additional damage equal to the roll.

Spellcasting
1st-level feature
By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on divine magic through meditation to cast spells. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 3 of this book for the monk spell list.
Preparing and Casting Spells
Monks are 2/3 casters. To cast one of your monk spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of monk spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the monk spell list. When you do so, choose a number of monk spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your monk level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level monk, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd-level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of monk spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your monk spells, since their power derives from ki. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a monk spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your monk spells.
Ki
Addition to existing feature
You add your Wisdom modifier(minimum of +1) to the amount of ki you have.
Crippling Blow
5th-level feature, replaces Stunning Strike
Starting at 5th level, when you hit with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 1 ki to cause one of the following effects:
- Stunning Strike: The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.
- Impede Movement: The target's speed is reduced by 15 feet. This feature costs 2 ki when used on a creature two or more sizes larger than you.
- Precise Grasp: You can immediately attempt to grapple the target, with a +5 bonus to your check. While grappled in this manner, a target is restrained.
Mastery of the Arts
15th-level feature
Starting at 15th level, your mastery of ki is legendary. Once per turn, when you use an ability that requires ki, you can reduce the cost of that ability by 1(to a minimum of 0).
Grand Master
20th-level feature
At 20th level, you are among the greatest monks to ever have lived. Your Dexterity and Wisdom scores increase by 4, as does your maximum for them.
Monks are like a sad comedy - utterly pointless and a waste of time that could be spent casting spells. Except gunk, gunk did nothing wrong.
Way of the Ascendant Dragon
Draconic Disciple
Starting at 3rd level, you can channel draconic power to magnify your presence and imbue your unarmed strikes with the essence of a dragon's breath. You gain the following benefits:
- Draconic Presence. If you fail a Charisma (Intimidation) or Charisma (Persuasion) check, you can use your reaction to reroll the check, as you tap into the mighty presence of dragons. Once this feature turns a failure into a success, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
- Draconic Strike. When you damage a target with an unarmed strike, you can change the damage type to acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison.
- Tongue of Dragons. You learn to speak, read, and write Draconic or one other language of your choice.
Breath of the Dragon
Also at 3rd level, you can channel destructive waves of energy, like those created by the dragons you emulate. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of the attacks with an exhalation of draconic energy in either a 20-foot cone or a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide (your choice). Choose a damage type: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your ki save DC, taking damage of the chosen type equal to two rolls of your Martial Arts die + your Dexterity modifier on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
At 11th level, the damage of this feature increases to three rolls of your Martial Arts die. At 17th level, this increases to four rolls of your Martial Arts die.
You can use this feature three times, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. While you have no uses available, you can spend 1 ki point to use this feature again.
Wings Unfurled
At 6th level, when you use your Step of the Wind, you can unfurl spectral draconic wings from your back that vanish at the end of your turn. While the wings exist, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed.
At any point during your turn, you can end the effect early. When you do so, choose one of the following effects:
- Battering Winds: Creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, they take bludgeoning damage equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die and are knocked prone.
- Elemental Wrath: Creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, they take damage as though affected by your Breath of the Dragon. On a successful save, they take half as much damage.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Aspect of the Wyrm
At 11th level, the power of your draconic spirit now radiates from you, warding your allies or inspiring fear in your enemies. As a bonus action, you can create an aura of draconic power that radiates 10 feet from you for 1 minute. For the duration, you gain one of the following effects of your choice:
- Frightful Presence. When you create this aura, and as a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can choose up to three creatures within the aura. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your ki save DC or become frightened of you for 1 minute. Each target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a successful save.
- Resistance. Choose a damage type when you activate this aura: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. You and your allies within the aura have resistance to that damage. You can spend 2 ki points to choose an additional damage type, or 4 ki points to choose two additional damage types. If a target would already have resistance, it instead gains immunity.
Once you create this aura twice, you can't create it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend 3 ki points to create it again.
Ascendant Aspect
At 17th level, your draconic spirit reaches its peak. You gain the following benefits:
- Augment Breath. When you use your Breath of the Dragon, you can spend 1 ki point to augment its shape and power. The exhalation of draconic energy becomes either a 60-foot cone or a 90-foot line that is 5 feet wide (your choice), and each creature in that area takes damage equal to five rolls of your Martial Arts die + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- Blindsight. You gain blindsight out to 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.
- Explosive Fury. When you activate your Aspect of the Wyrm, draconic fury explodes from you. Choose any number of creatures you can see in your aura. Each of those creatures must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your ki save DC or take 3d10 acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage (your choice).
Way of the Astral Self
Astral Arms
At 3rd level, your mastery of your ki allows you to summon a portion of your astral self. On your turn, you can spend 2 ki points as a bonus action to summon the arms of your astral self for 10 minutes. These spectral arms hover near your shoulders. You determine the arms' appearance based on the qualities of your character.
While your astral arms are summoned, you gain the following benefits:
- You can use your Wisdom modifier in place of your Strength modifier when making Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
- The arms are monk weapons and have a reach of 10 feet. The arms deal radiant or necrotic damage (your choice). When you attack with the arms, you can use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls.
- Immediately after you use the Attack action with your astral arms on your turn, you can make one extra attack with your astral arms as a bonus action. The number of extra attacks increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to two at 11th level and three at 17th level.
Visage of the Astral Self
At 6th level, you can summon the visage of your astral self. As a bonus action, or as part of the bonus action you take to activate Arms of the Astral Self, you can spend 1 ki point to summon this visage for 10 minutes. It vanishes early if you are incapacitated or die.
The spectral visage covers your face like a helmet or mask. You determine its appearance.
While the spectral visage is present, you gain the following benefits.
Astral Sight.
You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet.
Wisdom of the Spirit.
You have advantage on Wisdom (Insight) and Charisma (Intimidation) checks.
Word of the Spirit.
When you speak, you can direct your words to a creature of your choice that you can see within 60 feet of you, making it so only that creature can hear you. Alternatively, you can amplify your voice so that all creatures within 600 feet can hear you.
Awakening of the Astral Self
Starting at 11th level, you tap into the greater power of your astral self. While you have both your astral arms and visage summoned, you gain the following benefits.
Deflect Energy.
When you take acid, cold, fire, lightning, or force damage, you can use your reaction to deflect it. When you do so, the damage you take is reduced by 1d10 + your Wisdom modifier + your monk level.
Empowered Arms.
Once on each of your turns when you hit a target with your astral arms, you can deal extra damage to the target equal to your Martial Arts die. The target of this feature suffers disadvantage on saving throws against your Stunning Strike until the end of your current turn.
Complete Astral Self
Starting at 17th level, your connection to your astral self is complete, allowing you summon it entirely. On your turn, you can spend 10 ki points as a bonus action to summon the arms, visage, and body of your astral self for 10 minutes. This spectral body covers your physical form like a suit of armor, connecting with the arms and visage. You determine its appearance based on the qualities of your character. While your astral self is summoned, you gain the following benefits.
Armor of the Spirit.
You gain a +2 bonus to AC while you aren't incapacitated.
Astral Barrage.
Whenever you use the Extra Attack feature to attack twice, you can instead attack three times using your astral arms.
Ki Consumption.
When a creature within 10 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to regain ki points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
Way of the Drunken Master
Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Performance skill if you don't already have it, and your proficiency bonus is doubled when you make Performance checks. Your martial arts technique mixes combat training with the precision of a dancer and the antics of a jester. You also gain proficiency with brewer's supplies if you don't already have it.
Drunken Technique
At 3rd level, you learn how to twist and turn quickly as part of your Flurry of Blows. Whenever you use Flurry of Blows, you gain the benefit of the Disengage action, and your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of the current turn.
Tipsy Sway
Starting at 6th level, you can move in sudden, swaying ways. You gain the following benefits.
Leap to Your Feet.
When you're prone, you can stand up by spending 0 feet of movement, rather than half your speed.
Redirect Attack.
When a creature misses you with an attack roll, you can spend 1 ki point as a reaction to cause that attack to hit one creature of your choice, other than the attacker, that you can see within 5 feet of you.
Drunkard's Luck
Starting at 11th level, you always seem to get a lucky bounce at the right moment. When you make an ability check, an attack roll, or a saving throw and have disadvantage on the roll, you can spend 1 ki point to prevent all your attacks, saving throws or ability checks(choose one) from having disadvantage until the end of your current turn, and the roll you are making now is instead made with advantage.
Intoxicated Frenzy
At 17th level, you gain the ability to make an overwhelming number of attacks against a group of enemies. When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can make up to three additional attacks with it (up to a total of five Flurry of Blows attacks). Every time you score a hit in this manner, you can make one additional attack against the same target. These additional attacks cannot generate additional attacks.
Way of the Long Death
Touch of Death
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your study of death allows you to extract vitality from another creature as it nears its demise. When you reduce a creature within 5 feet of you to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier + your monk level (minimum of 1 temporary hit point).
You gain resistance to necrotic damage, and have advantage on saving throws against effects that deal necrotic damage.
Gruesome Kill
Also at 3rd level, when you kill a creature with a melee attack, each enemy that can see you takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls against you until the end of your next turn. This has no effect on creatures immune to the frightened condition.
Hour of Reaping
At 6th level, you gain the ability to unsettle or terrify those around you as an action, for your soul has been touched by the shadow of death. When you take this action, each creature within 30 feet of you that can see you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. A creature that fails its saving throw also takes psychic damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Death's Chilled Embrace
Starting at 6th level, when you hit a creature with a melee attack, you can expend 2 ki to root it in place, causing it agony when it moves. The target takes an additional 1d8 necrotic damage, and its speed becomes 0 until the end of your next turn. If it is moved against its will before then, it takes 2d4 necrotic damage per 5 feet moved.
Mastery of Death
Beginning at 11th level, you use your familiarity with death to escape its grasp. When you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can expend 1 ki point (no action required) to have 1 hit point instead.
Reaping Disruption
At 17th level, through your strike, you disrupt the flow of your foe's life force, shattering its natural resilience.
As an action, you can expend 1 to 10 ki points and force a creature within 5 feet that you touch to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 3d10 necrotic damage per ki point expended and gains vulnerability to all damage until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and gains vulnerability to the next instance of damage it takes.
Sun Soul
Radiant Sun Bolt
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can hurl searing bolts of magical radiance.
You gain a new attack option that you can use with the Attack action. The special attack is a ranged spell attack with a range of 30 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your Dexterity or Wisdom modifier(your choice) to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is radiant, and its damage die is a d4. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
When you take the Attack action on your turn and use this special attack as part of it, you can spend 1 ki point to make the special attack twice as a bonus action. When you gain the Extra Attack feature, this special attack can be used for any of the attacks you make as part of the Attack action.
Starting at 6th level, you gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls with this special attack.
Divine Sun
Also at 3rd level, you can spend 2 ki points to cast thunder step without requiring a spell slot or components. When you do so, the damage is radiant instead of thunder.
Searing Arc Strike
At 6th level, you gain the ability to destroy your enemies with a burst of radiant light. As an action, you can force all hostile creatures within 15 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they take 2d10 + your monk level radiant damage, or half as much on a success. Undead and fiends that fail their saving throw are also stunned until the start of your next turn. You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a short or long rest.
Radiant Brilliance
At 11th level, you can fire a brilliant ray of searing light into a foe, igniting that foe and briefly turning it into a small sun. When you hit a creature with your Radiant Sun Bolt, you can spend 4 ki points to cast flame strike centered on the target as a bonus action without requiring a spell slot or components.
Sun Shield
At 17th level, you become wreathed in a luminous, magical aura. You shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. You can extinguish or restore the light as a bonus action.
If a creature hits you with a melee attack while this light shines, it takes radiant dammage equal to 5 + your Wisdom modifier.
Paladin
Paladins didn't need a rewrite as much because they're a really strong class. The thing is, the optimal paladin gameplay is basically "hand out save bonus and go AFK", and I want to make them do more stuff. Hence the rewrite.
This document is intended for use alongside my other reworks.

Divine Smite
Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal radiant damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is 2d8 + your Charisma modifier for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8. The damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a fiend, to a maximum of 6d8.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Additionally, the first attack you make on your turn gains a +1 bonus to the attack and damage roll. The first time you score a hit on your turn, as well as whenever you use your Divine Smite feature on an attack, the attack is treated as magical.
Improved Divine Smite
At 5th level, your smites become less taxing on your magical power. When you use your Divine Smite feature, you regain a spell slot of a lower level than the one you used, to a maximum level equal to 1/4 your Paladin level(rounding up).
Destroyer of Nightmares
At level 10, you are a champion of order, ready to battle the greatest of evils. You have advantage on attack rolls against creatures with a CR higher than your level. Additionally, you can use Divine Smite as though you had expended a 1st-level spell slot without expending a spell slot a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and regain all expended uses upon completing a long rest.

- Scimitar of Speed

- Sun blade
- Devotee's Censer(x2)
- Hellfire Weapon(x2)
- +2 weapon(any)
The item(s) you choose appear in unoccupied spaces within 10 feet of you. They immediately cease to exist if you use this feature again.
Superior Smite
At level 14, your Divine Smite's damage dice become d10s. Additionally, when you roll initiative and have no uses of Destroyer of Nightmares remaining, you regain one use.
The Gods Will It
At 20th level, you are a wellspring of divine power. You can use your Divine Smite feature at will as though you had used a 2nd-level slot. You can expend a use of Destroyer of Nightmares to increase this damage by 1d8.

Channel Divinity: Rebuke the Violent
You can use your Channel Divinity to rebuke those who use violence. Immediately after an attacker within 30 feet of you deals damage with an attack against a creature other than you, you can use your reaction to force the attacker to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the attacker takes radiant damage equal to the damage it just dealt and is incapacitated until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.
Aura of the Guardian/Divine Allegiance
Starting at 7th level, you can shield others from harm with your power. When a friendly creature within 10 feet of you takes damage for the first time since the end of its last turn, the damage is reduced by an amount equal to your Charisma modifier(minimum of 1).

Alternative Magic
At 3rd level, you are able to use less taxing magic without depleting your main resources.
Several features, mostly provided by subclasses, provide you with the option to expend spell slots to do something else than casting a spell. You gain one spell slot of a level equal to your proficiency bonus -1, which can only be used for such effects. You regain this spell slot whenever you finish a long rest.
At 17th level, you gain unrivalled mastery in using this feature, and can use such features once per turn without expending a spell slot, and when you do so you are treated as having used a spell slot of 1st level.
Precise Aim
Starting at level 5, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the first attack roll you make each turn.
Accustomed to Hindrance
Beginning at 14th level, any effect that would reduce your speed cannot reduce it by more than 5 feet.

A bunch of idiots seem to believe rangers are weak. I'll believe them when I see a fighter cast something better than pass without trace.
Horizon Walker Conclave
Detect Portal
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to magically sense the presence of a planar portal. As an action, you detect the distance and direction to the closest planar portal within 1 mile of you.

You can also see into the Ethereal Plane to a distance of 60 feet.

Hunter's Sense
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to peer at a creature and magically discern how best to hurt it. As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are. If the creature is hidden from divination magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
Slayer's Prey
Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your ire on one foe, increasing the harm you inflict on it. Once per turn, you can designate one creature you can see within 60 feet of you as the target of this feature(no action required). Each time you hit that target with a weapon attack, it takes an extra 1d6 damage from the weapon. This increases to 1d8 damage at 9th level, 1d10 damage at 13th level and 1d12 at 17th level.
This benefit lasts until you finish a short or long rest. It ends early if you designate a different creature.
Supernatural Defense

Guardian Soul
Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to temporarily grow and take on the appearance of a treelike person, covered with leaves and bark. As a bonus action, you assume this guardian form, which lasts until you end it as a bonus action or until you are incapacitated.
You undergo the following changes while in your guardian form:
- Your size becomes Large, unless you were larger. Your equipment increases in size with you(remember about oversized weapon rules).
- If you do not move more than 5 feet on your turn(plus five for every time you use the Dash action on your turn), protective wards form around your allies within 30 feet of you(excluding you). Enemies have disadvantage on attack rolls targeting affected creatures.
- Your reach increases by 5 feet.
- You gain a number of temporary hit points at the start of each of your turns. The number equals half your ranger level. When the form ends, you lose any temporary hit points you have from it.
- You gain two additional arms. These arms can only be used for grappling and unarmed strikes, which deal 2d6 bludgeoning damage on a hit. If you attack or grapple using these arms, your Strength score is treated as 16 + your proficiency bonus, unless it would be higher.
You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a short or long rest.
Piercing Thorns
At 3rd level, your command of primal magic allows you to enhance your attacks with thorns. Once during each of your turns, you can deal an additional 1d6 piercing damage to one creature you hit with a weapon attack. While your guardian form is active, this increases to 1d10.
Ancient Fortitude
At 7th level, you gain the endurance of the ancient forests. Your hit point maximum and current hit points increase by twice your ranger level when you assume your guardian form. This increase lasts until you leave the form; your hit point maximum then returns to normal, but your current hit points remain the same, unless they must decrease to abide by your hit point maximum.
Additionally, while your guardian form is active, whenever you roll a 9 or lower on the d20 when you make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration, you can treat the roll as a 10 instead.
Rooted Defense
At 11th level, you gain the ability to twist and turn the ground beneath you. While you are in your guardian form, the ground within 30 feet of you is difficult terrain for your enemies.

At 10th level, you learn to handle yourself in close combat. Making a ranged attack roll while within 5 feet of an enemy doesn't impose disadvantage on your roll.
In addition, if you hit a creature within 5 feet of you with an attack on your turn, that creature can't take reactions until the end of this turn.

You choose a friendly creature within 60 feet of you who can see or hear you.

Blade Defense
You attempt to determine your target’s next strike. Roll two Sneak Attack dice, and the target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, your AC increases by the higher amount rolled on the dice against the first attack it makes against you before the start of your next turn. On a successful save, your AC instead increases by the lower amount.
Fancy Footwork
Roll two Sneak Attack dice. Your speed increases by 5 x the greater result of the two dice, and you ignore difficult terrain until the end of your current turn.
Bleeding Wound
You attempt to create a lingering wound in the target for one minute. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, at the start of each of the target’s turns, it takes necrotic damage equal to one Sneak Attack die and repeats this saving throw, ending the effect on a success.

Brutal Hit
You attempt to knock the target prone while within 15 feet of it. The target must make a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Low Blow
You attempt to stun the target while within 15 feet of it. The target must make a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the start of its next turn.
Shank
You attempt to hamper the target while within 15 feet of it. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. If it fails, its movement speed is to 0 and it makes Dexterity saving throws with disadvantage until the end of its next turn.
Assassin
Assassinate
Starting at 3rd level, you are at your deadliest when you get the drop on your enemies. You have advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn in the combat yet. In addition, any hit you score against a creature that is surprised is a critical hit.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise kit and the poisoner's kit.
Infiltration Expertise
Starting at 9th level, you can unfailingly create false identities for yourself. You must spend seven days and 25 gp to establish the history, profession, and affiliations for an identity. You can't establish an identity that belongs to someone else. For example, you might acquire appropriate clothing, letters of introduction, and official-looking certification to establish yourself as a member of a trading house from a remote city so you can insinuate yourself into the company of other wealthy merchants.
Thereafter, if you adopt the new identity as a disguise, other creatures believe you to be that person until given an obvious reason not to.
Strike Fear
Also at 9th level, your attack terrifies your foe. When you hit a creature that hasn't taken a turn in the combat yet with a weapon attack, you can add your Charisma or Intelligence modifier(your choice, minimum of +1) to the damage and the target's speed is reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn.
Impostor
At 13th level, you gain the ability to unerringly mimic another person's speech, writing, and behavior. You must spend at least three hours studying these three components of the person's behavior, listening to speech, examining handwriting, and observing mannerism.
Your ruse is indiscernible to the casual observer. If a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection.
Masterful Assassination
Also at 13th level, you are unrivalled at sneaking up on your foe. You can cast pass without trace at will, without requiring a spell slot or components.
Death Strike
Starting at 17th level, you become a master of instant death. When you score a critical hit, all the damage dice are maximized.
Inquisitive
Ear for Deceit
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you develop a talent for picking out lies. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Insight) check to determine whether a creature is lying, treat a roll of 9 or lower on the d20 as a 10. Additionally, you cannot be surprised while you are conscious.
Eye for Detail
Starting at 3rd level, you can see invisible creatures within 30 feet of you, unless they did not move(this includes being moved against their will) since the start of their last turn. A creature seen by you in this way gains no benefit from being invisible.
Insightful Fighting
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to decipher an opponent's tactics and develop a counter to them. As a bonus action, you can make a Wisdom (Insight) check against a creature you can see that isn't incapacitated, contested by the target's Charisma (Deception) check. If you succeed, you have advantage on one attack roll against the target per turn, and it is always an eligible target for your Sneak Attack, ignoring all conditions for that feature to apply.
This benefit lasts for 1 minute or until you successfully use this feature against a different target.
Steady Eye
Starting at 9th level, you have advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) check if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn. Additionally, your passive Perception score increases by 5, and you have advantage on Intelligence saving throws.
Unerring Eye
Beginning at 13th level, your senses are almost impossible to foil. As a bonus action, you sense the presence of illusions, shapechangers not in their original form, and other magic designed to deceive the senses within 30 feet of you, provided you aren't blinded or deafened. You sense that an effect is attempting to trick you, but you gain no insight into what is hidden or into its true nature.
Eye for Weakness
At 17th level, you learn to exploit a creature's weaknesses by carefully studying its tactics and movement. While your Insightful Fighting feature applies to a creature, your Sneak Attack damage against that creature increases by 3d8.
Mastermind
Master of Intrigue
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the disguise Kit, the forgery kit, and one gaming set of your choice. You also learn two languages of your choice.
Additionally, you can unerringly mimic the speech patterns and accent of a creature that you hear speak for at least 1 minute, enabling you to pass yourself off as a native speaker of a particular land, provided that you know the language.
Master of Tactics
At the start of each of your turns, you can choose a number of allies equal to half your proficiency bonus. Each ally you choose gains advantage on the next attack roll they make.
Insightful Manipulator
Starting at 9th level, you can manipulate your foes, making them target you instead of targets of more strategic importance. You can mark enemies with your Master of Tactics feature now, giving them disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you. As a reaction when an ally is targeted by an attack made by a marked enemy, you can force the attack to target you instead. You can only do so if you are an eligible target for the attack(i.e. in range, etc.). You can use Uncanny Dodge as part of the same reaction.
Misdirection
At 13th level, you are even more adept at fooling your enemies. When you would be hit by an attack, you can choose to have that attack instead miss(no action required). You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a long rest. You gain an additional use at 17th level.
Soul of Deceit
Starting at 17th level, your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means, unless you allow it. You can present false thoughts by succeeding on a Charisma (Deception) check contested by the mind reader's Wisdom (Insight) check. Your proficiency bonus is also doubled when you make an Intelligence or Wisdom saving throw.
Additionally, no matter what you say, magic that would determine if you are telling the truth indicates you are being truthful if you so choose, and you can't be compelled to tell the truth by magic.
Soulknife
Psionic Power
You harbor a wellspring of psionic energy within yourself. This energy is represented by your Psionic Energy dice, which are each a d6. You have a number of these dice equal to twice your proficiency bonus, and they fuel various psionic powers you have, which are detailed below.
Some of your powers expend the Psionic Energy die they use, as specified in a power's description, and you can't use a power if it requires you to use a die when your dice are all expended. You regain all your expended Psionic Energy dice when you finish a long rest.
In addition, as a bonus action, you can regain a number of expended Psionic Energy dice equal to your Intelligence modifier, but you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
When you reach certain levels in this class, the size of your Psionic Energy dice increases: at 5th level (d8), 11th level (d10), and 17th level (d12).
The powers below use your Psionic Energy dice.
Psi-Bolstered Knack.
When your nonpsionic training fails you, your psionic power can help: if you fail an ability check using a skill or tool with which you have proficiency, you can roll one Psionic Energy die and add the number rolled to the check, potentially turning failure into success. You expend the die only if the roll succeeds.
Psychic Whispers.
You can establish telepathic communication between yourself and others-perfect for quiet infiltration. As an action, choose one or more creatures you can see, up to a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus, and then roll one Psionic Energy die. For a number of hours equal to the number rolled, the chosen creatures can speak telepathically with you, and you can speak telepathically with them. To send or receive a message (no action required), you and the other creature must be within 1 mile of each other. A creature can't use this telepathy if it can't speak any languages, and a creature can end the telepathic connection at any time (no action required). You and the creature don't need to speak a common language to understand each other.
The first time you use this power after each long rest, you don't expend the Psionic Energy die. All other times you use the power, you expend the die.
Psychic Blades
You can manifest your psionic power as shimmering blades of psychic energy. Whenever you take the Attack action, you can manifest a psychic blade from your free hand and make the attack with that blade. This magic blade is a simple melee weapon with the finesse and thrown properties. It has a normal range of 60 feet and no long range, and on a hit, it deals psychic damage equal to 1d6 plus the ability modifier you used for the attack roll. The blade vanishes immediately after you complete all your attacks as part of the Attack action.
After you attack with the blade, you can make a melee or ranged weapon attack with a second psychic blade as a bonus action on the same turn, provided your other hand is free to create it. The damage die of this bonus attack is 1d4, instead of 1d6.
Psionic Enhancement
You can focus your psionic power to give yourself an extraordinary ability. When you finish a long rest, you gain one of the following benefits of your choice, which lasts until you finish a long rest:
- You can communicate telepathically with any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. If a creature can speak at least one language, it can respond to you telepathically.
- Increase your walking speed by 5 feet.
- Your hit point maximum and your current hit points increase by an amount equal to your Intelligence modifier plus your rogue level.
Soul Blades
At 9th level, your Psychic Blades are now an expression of your psi-suffused soul, giving you these powers that use your Psionic Energy dice:
Homing Strikes.
If you make an attack roll with your Psychic Blades and miss the target, you can roll one Psionic Energy die and add the number rolled to the attack roll. If this causes the attack to hit, you expend the Psionic Energy die.
Psychic Teleportation.
As a bonus action, you manifest one of your Psychic Blades, expend one Psionic Energy die and roll it, and throw the blade at an unoccupied space you can see, up to a number of feet away equal to 10 times the number rolled. You then teleport to that space, and the blade vanishes.
Terrify
Also at 9th level, your psychic blades can now stoke terror within a target: When you damage a creature with your Psychic Blade, you can spend a Psionic Energy die to force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier). On a failed save, the creature is frightened of you until the start of your next turn. On a successful save, the creature isn't frightened and is immune to your Terrifying Blade for 24 hours. Regardless of whether or not it passed the save, it also takes psychic damage equal to a roll of your Psionic Energy die.
Psychic Veil
At 13th level, you can weave a veil of psychic static to mask yourself. As an action, you can magically become invisible, along with anything you are wearing or carrying, for 1 hour or until you dismiss this effect (no action required). This invisibility ends early immediately after you deal damage to a creature or you force a creature to make a saving throw.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a Psionic Energy die to use this feature again.
Rend Mind and Soul
At 17th level, you can sweep your Psychic Blade directly through a creature's mind. As an action while you have at least one Psychic Blade manifested, you can force a creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make an Intelligence saving throw (DC equal to 10 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier). If you are hidden from the target, it has disadvantage on the save. On a failed save, the target takes 12d6 psychic damage, and it is stunned until the start of your next turn. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and isn't stunned. One of your Psychic Blades vanishes after using this feature. A creature killed in this way cannot be brought back to life by any means other than a wish spell.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Arcane Trickter Errata
Change the Spellcasting to fit the table below. Add the following line: "For the purpose of any features that refer to your class's spell list, you are a wizard." Additionally, if multiclassed, count your levels in Arcane Trickster as half the number of levels you have in the class, not one-third.

Metamagic
You learn one additional metamagic of your choice at 5th, 7th, 12th, 14th and 20th level.
There's only so many tactical errors a single person can commit, and when you only get fifteen spells to choose at most there's a lot of room for disaster.
Draconic Sorcery
Dragon Ancestor
At 1st level, you choose one type of dragon as your ancestor. The damage type associated with each dragon is used by features you gain later.
Draconic Ancestry | Dragon Damage Type |
---|---|
Black | Acid |
Blue | Lightning |
Brass | Fire |
Bronze | Lightning |
Copper | Acid |
Gold | Fire |
Green | Poison |
Red | Fire |
Silver | Cold |
White | Cold |
You can speak, read, and write Draconic. Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.
Draconic Resilience
As magic flows through your body, it causes physical traits of your dragon ancestors to emerge. At 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.
Additionally, parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier. If your Strength would be less than 16, it is instead 16.
At 9th level, when you are reduced to half your hit point maximum or less, you gain a +2 bonus to AC for the rest of the encounter. Once you've used this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Elemental Affinity
Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell that deals damage of the type associated with your draconic ancestry, you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage roll. At the same time, you can spend 1 sorcery point to gain resistance to that damage type for 1 hour.
Dragon Wings
At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.
You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.
Breath Weapon
At 18th level, you are as close to being a dragon as you can be without becoming a dragon. Select the adult dragon of the same color as your Draconic Ancestry. You gain the Breath Weapon action of the dragon. The DC is equal to your spell save DC, and instead of Recharge 5-6 you can use it twice, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a short or long rest. If your breath weapon has only one option, you can instead use it thrice.
Storm Sorcery
Wind Speaker
The arcane magic you command is infused with elemental air. You can speak, read, and write Primordial. Knowing this language allows you to understand and be understood by those who speak its dialects: Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran.
Tempestuous Magic
Starting at 1st level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to cause whirling gusts of elemental air to briefly surround you, immediately before or after you cast a spell of 1st level or higher. Doing so allows you to fly up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks. If a creature fails its saving throw against the spell or you hit it with an attack roll made as part of the spell, you can push it back up to 5 feet.
Heart of the Storm
At 6th level, you gain resistance to lightning and thunder damage. In addition, whenever you start casting a spell of 1st level or higher that deals damage, stormy magic erupts from you. This eruption causes creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you to take lightning or thunder damage (choose each time this ability activates) equal to half your sorcerer level. Additionally, you add your Charisma modifier to any lightning and thunder damage you deal.
Storm Guide
At 6th level, you gain the ability to subtly control the weather around you.
If it is raining, you can use an action to cause the rain to stop falling in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on you. You can end this effect as a bonus action.
If it is windy, you can use a bonus action each round to choose the direction that the wind blows in a 100-foot-radius sphere centered on you. The wind blows in that direction until the end of your next turn. This feature doesn't alter the speed of the wind.
Additionally, you can cast wind wall at will.
Storm's Fury
Starting at 14th level, when you are hit by an attack and the attacker is within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to deal lightning damage to the attacker. The damage equals your sorcerer level. The attacker must also make a Dexterity saving throw against your sorcerer spell save DC. On a failed save, the attacker is pushed in a straight line up to 20 feet away from you.
Wind Soul
At 18th level, you gain immunity to lightning and thunder damage.
You also gain a magical flying speed of 60 feet. As an action, you can reduce your flying speed to 30 feet for 1 hour and choose a number of creatures within 30 feet of you equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. The chosen creatures gain a magical flying speed of 30 feet for 1 hour. Once you reduce your flying speed in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Shadow Magic
Eyes of the Dark
Starting at 1st level, you have darkvision with a range of 120 feet.
When you reach 3rd level in this class, you learn the darkness spell, which doesn't count against your number of sorcerer spells known. In addition, you can cast it by spending 2 sorcery points or by expending a spell slot. If you cast it with sorcery points, you can see through the darkness created by the spell.
Strength of the Grave
Starting at 1st level, your existence in a twilight state between life and death makes you difficult to defeat. When damage reduces you to 0 hit points, you can make a Charisma saving throw (DC 10). On a success, you instead drop to 1 hit point. You can't use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit points by radiant damage or by a critical hit.
Every time you use this feature, the DC increases by 5, and resets to 10 when you complete a long rest.
Starting at 7th level, you can expend 1 sorcery point when you fail this saving throw to turn it into an automatic success.
Hound of Ill Omen
At 6th level, you gain the ability to call forth a howling creature of darkness to harass your foes. As a bonus action, you can spend 3 sorcery points to magically summon a hound of ill omen to target one creature you can see within 120 feet of you. The hound uses the dire wolf's statistics (see the Monster Manual or appendix C in the Player's Handbook), with the following changes:
- The hound is size Medium, not Large, and it counts as a monstrosity, not a beast.
- Its AC is equal to your spell save DC.
- It appears with a number of temporary hit points equal to half your sorcerer level.
- It can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. The hound takes 5 force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
- At the start of its turn, the hound automatically knows its target's location. If the target was hidden, it is no longer hidden from the hound.
The hound appears in an unoccupied space of your choice within 30 feet of the target. The hound acts on your initiative, taking its turn after yours. On its turn, it can move only toward its target by the most direct route, and it can use its action only to attack its target. The hound can make opportunity attacks, but only against its target. Additionally, while the hound is within 5 feet of the target, the target has disadvantage on saving throws against any spell you cast. The hound disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points, if its target is reduced to 0 hit points, or after 5 minutes.
Shadow Walk
At 14th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. When you are selected as the target of an attack while in dim light or darkness, you can use your reaction to magically teleport up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. If the attack is unable to target you as a result, it is wasted.
Umbral Form
Starting at 18th level, you can spend 4 sorcery points as a bonus action to magically transform yourself into a shadowy form. In this form, you have resistance to all damage except force and radiant damage, and you can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. You take 5 force damage if you end your turn inside an object.
You remain in this form for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you die, or if you dismiss it as a bonus action.
Pyromancer
Fire Adept
At 1st level, whenever you start casting a spell of 1st level or higher that deals fire damage, fiery magic erupts from you. This eruption causes creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you to take fire damage equal to half your sorcerer level + twice the level of the spell (minimum of 1).
If you cast a spell that deals fire damage in an area and target yourself, you can choose to be unaffected by the spell.
Heart of Fire
Also at 1st level, you begin to learn additional spells. The following spells are added to the Sorcerer spell list for you at the levels indicated, and you know them automatically. They do not count against your maximum spells known.

2nd | Aganazzar's scorcher, scorching ray |
3rd | fireball, sleet storm |
4th | investiture of flame, summon elemental |

Pyromancer's Fury
Starting at 14th level, when you are hit by an attack and the attacker is within 10 feet of you, you can use your reaction to deal fire damage to the attacker. The damage equals your sorcerer level, and ignores resistance to fire damage. When you do so, you gain temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt.
Fiery Soul
At 18th level, you gain immunity to fire damage. In addition, any spell or effect you create ignores resistance to fire damage and treats immunity to fire damage as resistance to fire damage. Additionally, whenever you kill a creature by dealing fire damage to it, you regain sorcery points equal to the spell's level.
Stone Sorcery
Bonus Proficiencies
At 1st level, you gain proficiency with shields, simple weapons, and martial weapons.
Magic of Metal and Stone
Also at 1st level, you begin to learn additional spells. The following spells are added to the Sorcerer spell list for you at the levels indicated, and you know them automatically. They do not count against your maximum spells known.

2nd | spike growth, stoneskin |
3rd | erupting earth, thunder step |
4th | hallucinatory terrain, stone shape |
5th | passwall, transmute rock |
Additionally, whenever you would make a weapon attack as part of a spell or sorcerer class feature, you can use Charisma in place of Strength and Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls.
Stone's Durability
At 1st level, your connection to stone gives you extra fortitude. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.
As an action, you can gain a base AC of 13 + your Constitution modifier if you aren't wearing armor, and your skin assumes a stony appearance. This effect lasts until you end it as a bonus action, you are incapacitated, or you don armor other than a shield.
Stone Aegis
Starting at 6th level, your command of earth magic grows stronger, allowing you to harness it for your allies' protection.
As a bonus action, you can grant an aegis to one allied creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The aegis is a dim, gray aura of earth magic that protects the target. Any bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage the target takes is reduced by 2 + your sorcerer level divided by 4. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until you use it again, or until you are incapacitated.
In addition, when a creature you can see within 60 feet of you hits the protected target with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 5 feet of the attacker. You can then make one melee weapon attack against the attacker. If that attack hits, it deals an extra 1d10 force damage. This extra damage increases to 2d10 at 11th level and 3d10 at 17th level.
Stone's Edge
Starting at 14th level, your mastery of earth magic allows you to add the force of elemental earth to your spells. When you cast a spell that deals damage, choose one creature damaged by that spell on the round you cast it. That creature takes extra bludgeoning damage equal to half your sorcerer level. This feature can be used only once per casting of a spell.
Earth Master's Aegis
Beginning at 18th level, when you use your Stone Aegis to protect an ally, you can choose up to three creatures to gain its benefits.
Phoenix Soul
Ignite
At 1st level, you gain the ability to start fires with a touch. As an action, you can magically ignite a flammable object you touch with your hand—an object such as a torch, a piece of tinder, or the hem of drapes.
Mantle of Flame
Starting at 1st level, you can unleash the phoenix fire that blazes within you.
As a bonus action, you magically wreathe yourself in swirling fire, as your eyes glow like hot coals. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:
- You shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet.
- Any creature takes fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier if it hits you with a melee attack from within 5 feet of you or if it touches you.
- Whenever you deal fire damage on your turn, the damage gains a bonus equal to half your Charisma modifier(rounded up).
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Phoenix Spells
Also at 1st level, you begin to learn additional spells. The following spells are added to the Sorcerer spell list for you at the levels indicated, and you know them automatically. They do not count against your maximum spells known. If a spell on this list deals damage, you can choose to instead deal fire damage.
If a spell on this list restores hit points to a creature, the creature gains resistance to fire damage until the start of your next turn.
Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | healing word, magic missile |
2nd | aid, scorching ray |
3rd | mass healing word, revivify |
4th | death ward, guardian of faith |
5th | raise dead, synaptic static |
Phoenix Spark

When you pick this pact boon, you gain a mask from your patron. The mask cannot be destroyed, and while it is on the same plane as you, you may use your bonus action to call it to you, instantly teleporting it onto your face. If you lose it, you can perform a ritual over the course of a short rest to get a new one. You can perform an hour-long ritual to give another magical mask the properties of your Pact Mask, in addition to the mask’s original properties. While you are wearing the mask, and a humanoid within 60 ft. of you that you can see is killed, you may use your reaction to steal its visage. While you have this creature's visage, you may use a bonus action to become that creature. While this is active, you are physically identical to it, your clothes become identical to the ones it was wearing when it died and you can perfectly mimic its voice.
The visage is non-illusionary, and you are actually physically changed by it. This effect lasts for 10 minutes, or until you dispel it as a bonus action.

Fey Presence
Starting at 1st level, your patron bestows upon you the ability to project the beguiling and fearsome presence of the fey. As an action, you can cause each creature in a 10-foot cube or a 15-foot cone(your choice) originating from you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. The creatures that fail their saving throws are all charmed or frightened by you (your choice) until the end of your next turn.
You can use this feature twice, and regain the ability to do so when you finish a short or long rest.
Misty Escape
Starting at 6th level, you can vanish in a puff of mist in response to harm. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to turn invisible and teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You remain invisible until the end of your next turn.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Beguiling Defenses
Beginning at 10th level, your patron teaches you how to turn the mind-affecting magic of your enemies against them. You are immune to being charmed, and when another creature attempts to charm you, you can use your reaction to attempt to turn the charm back on that creature. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC or be charmed by you for 1 minute or until the creature takes any damage. If the charm effect would apply some additional effect to you, the target is also affected while charmed.
Dark Delirium
Starting at 14th level, you can plunge a creature into an illusory realm. As an action, choose a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. It must make an Intelligence saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a failed save, it is charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for 1 minute or until your concentration is broken (as if you are concentrating on a spell). This effect ends early if the creature takes any damage. On a successful save, it is affected in the same way, but the effect ends at the start of your next turn.
Until this illusion ends, the creature thinks it is lost in a misty realm, the appearance of which you choose. The creature can see and hear only itself, you, and the illusion.
You must finish a short or long rest before you can use this feature again.

Bonus Cantrips
At 1st level, you learn the guidance cantrip and two other cleric cantrips. They count as warlock cantrips for you, but they don't count against your number of cantrips known.
Healing Light
At 1st level, you gain the ability to channel celestial energy to heal wounds. You have a pool of d6s that you spend to fuel this healing. The number of dice in the pool equals 1 + your warlock level.
As a bonus action, you can heal one creature you can see within 60 feet of you, spending dice from the pool. The maximum number of dice you can spend at once equals your Charisma modifier (minimum of one die). Roll the dice you spend, add them together, and restore a number of hit points equal to the total. Whenever a creature regains hit points in this manner, it gains a bonus to its next saving throw within 1 minute equal to the number of d6s spent.
Your pool regains all expended dice when you finish a long rest.
Radiant Soul
Starting at 6th level, your link to the Celestial allows you to serve as a conduit for radiant energy. You have resistance to radiant damage, and when you cast a spell that deals radiant or fire damage, you can add your Charisma modifier to that damage. If you would already have resistance to radiant damage, you instead gain immunity.
Celestial Resilience
Starting at 10th level, you gain temporary hit points whenever you finish a short or long rest. These temporary hit points equal your warlock level + your Charisma modifier. Additionally, choose up to five creatures you can see at the end of the rest. Those creatures each gain temporary hit points equal to half your warlock level + your Charisma modifier.
Searing Vengeance
Also at 10th level, the radiant energy you channel allows you to resist death. When you have to make a death saving throw at the start of your turn, you can instead spring back to your feet with a burst of radiant energy. You regain hit points equal to half your hit point maximum, and then you stand up if you so choose. Each creature of your choice that is within 30 feet of you takes radiant damage equal to 2d8 + your Charisma modifier, and it is blinded until the end of the current turn.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Divine Fury
At 14th level, your connection to the Upper Planes allows you to transform into a greater form. As an action, you can transform into a planetar for up to 1 hour, as though affected by the true polymorph spell. Unlike the spell, however, you gain your new form's legendary actions. You can end this effect at any time(no action required). You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a long rest.

You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.
Shred Sanity
As an action, you can invade the mind of a creature that you are able to speak to telepathically. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw or have its mind assailed by alien entities for 1 minute. When a creature hits the target with an attack while this effect persists, you can let it add half your Charisma modifier, rounded up(minimum of +1), to the damage roll.
You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a short or long rest.
Entropic Ward
At 6th level, you learn to magically ward yourself against attack and to turn an enemy's failed strike into good luck for yourself. When a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that roll. If the attack misses you, your next attack roll against the creature has advantage if you make it before the end of your next turn, and if it hits it is automatically a critical hit.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Glorious Annihilation
Also at 6th level, whenever you score a critical hit with a spell attack, the target has disadvantage on saving throws against spells cast by you or your familiar until the end of your next turn.
Thought Shield
Starting at 10th level, your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means unless you allow it. You also have immunity to psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of damage that you would have taken.
Create Thrall
At 14th level, you gain the ability to infect a humanoid's mind with the alien magic of your patron. You can use your action to touch an incapacitated humanoid. That creature is then charmed by you until a remove curse spell is cast on it, the charmed condition is removed from it, or you use this feature again.
You can communicate telepathically with the charmed creature as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence.

Dark One's Blessing
Starting at 1st level, when you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your warlock level (minimum of 1).
Fiendish Paths
Also at 1st level, you choose one particular path of fiendish magic that will define the way you fight. Your choice grants you additional spells known, as shown in the table above, as well as additional boons at later levels.
Dark One's Own Luck
Starting at 6th level, you can call on your patron to alter fate in your favor. When you make an ability check or a saving throw, you can use this feature to add a d10 to your roll. You can do so after seeing the initial roll but before any of the roll's effects occur.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Fiendish Resilience
Also at 6th level, you can choose one damage type when you finish a short or long rest. You gain resistance to that damage type until you choose a different one with this feature. Damage from magical weapons or silver weapons ignores this resistance.
Dark Call
Starting at 10th level, you can entreat your patron for aid. As an action, you can cast summon greater demon without expending a spell slot or components, at a level equal to half your warlock level(rounded up). When you do so, you can choose one of the following additional effects:
- The summoned creature does not attempt to break free.
- The summoned creature does not have to be a demon, but it must be a fiend.
Hurl Through Hell
Starting at 14th level, when you hit a creature with an attack, you can use this feature to instantly transport the target through the lower planes. The creature disappears and hurtles through a nightmare landscape.
At the end of your next turn, the target returns to the space it previously occupied, or the nearest unoccupied space. If the target is not a fiend, it takes 10d10 psychic damage as it reels from its horrific experience.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Tentacle of the Deep
Starting at 1st level, you can magically summon a spectral tentacle that strikes at your foes. As a bonus action, you create a 10-foot-long tentacle at a point you can see within 60 feet of you. The tentacle lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature to create another tentacle.
When you create the tentacle, you can make a melee spell attack against one creature within 10 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 + your Charisma modifier cold damage, and its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn, or reduced to 0 on a critical hit. When you reach 10th level in this class, the damage increases to 2d8 + your Charisma modifier.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the tentacle up to 30 feet and repeat the attack.
You can summon the tentacle a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Oceanic Gift
Also at 1st level, you gain a swimming speed of 40 feet, and you can breathe underwater.
Oceanic Soul
Starting at 6th level, you are now even more at home in the depths. You gain resistance to cold damage, which becomes immunity to cold damage while you are submerged. In addition, when you are fully submerged, any creature that is also fully submerged can understand your speech, and you can understand theirs.
Guardian Coil
Also at 6th level, your Tentacle of the Deeps can defend you and others, interposing itself between them and harm. When you or a creature you can see takes damage while within 10 feet of the tentacle, you can use your reaction to choose one of those creatures and reduce the damage to that creature by 1d8. When you reach 10th level in this class, the damage reduced by the tentacle increases to 2d8.
Grasping Tentacle
At 10th level, you learn the spell Evard's black tentacles. It counts as a warlock spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of spells you know. You can also cast it once without a spell slot twice, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Whenever you cast this spell, your patron's magic bolsters you, granting you a number of temporary hit points equal to your warlock level. Moreover, damage can't break your concentration on this spell.
Fathomless Plunge
Starting at 14th level, you can magically open temporary conduits to watery destinations. As an action, you can teleport yourself and up to five other willing creatures that you can see within 30 feet of you. Amid a whirl of tentacles, you all vanish and then reappear up to 1 mile away in a body of water you've seen (pond size or larger) or within 30 feet of it, each of you appearing in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of the others.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Form of Dread
You manifest an aspect of your patron's dreadful power. As a bonus action, you transform for 1 minute. You gain the following benefits while transformed:
- You gain temporary hit points equal to 1d10 + your warlock level.
- Once during each of your turns, when you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can force it to make a Wisdom saving throw, and if the saving throw fails, the target is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
- You are immune to the frightened condition.
You can transform twice, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
The appearance of your Form of Dread reflects some aspect of your patron. For example, your form could be a shroud of shadows forming the crown and robes of your lich patron, or your body might glow with glyphs from ancient funerary rites and be surrounded by desert winds, suggesting your mummy patron.
Grave Touched
Your patron's powers have a profound effect on your body and magic. You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe, and you ignore resistance to necrotic damage.
In addition, once during each of your turns, when you hit a creature with an attack roll and roll damage against the creature, you can replace the damage type with necrotic damage. While you are using your Form of Dread, you can roll one additional damage die when determining the necrotic damage the target takes.
Necrotic Husk
Your connection to undeath and necrotic energy now saturates your body. You have resistance to necrotic damage. If you are transformed using your Form of Dread, you instead become immune to necrotic damage.
In addition, when you would be reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to drop to 1 hit point instead and cause your body to erupt with deathly energy. Each creature of your choice that is within 30 feet of you takes necrotic damage equal to 2d10 + your warlock level, and you regain hit points equal to half the necrotic damage dealt. You then gain 1 level of exhaustion. Once you use this reaction, you can't do so again until you finish 1d4 long rests.
Spirit Projection
Your spirit can become untethered from your physical form. As an action, you can project your spirit from your body. The body you leave behind is unconscious and in a state of suspended animation.
Your spirit resembles your mortal form in almost every way, replicating your game statistics but not your possessions. Any damage or other effects that apply to your spirit or physical body affects the other. Your spirit can remain outside your body for up to 1 hour or until your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell). When your projection ends, your spirit returns to your body or your body magically teleports to your spirit's space (your choice).
While projecting your spirit, you gain the following benefits:
- Your spirit and body gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
- When you cast a spell of the conjuration or necromancy school, the spell doesn't require verbal or somatic components or material components that lack a gold cost.
- You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed and can hover. You can move through creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside a creature or an object.
- While you are using your Form of Dread, once during each of your turns when you deal necrotic damage to a creature, you regain hit points equal to half the amount of necrotic damage dealt.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Hexblade's Curse
Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to place a baleful curse on someone. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1 minute. The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:
- You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
- Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
- If the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).
You can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
Hex Warrior
At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.
The influence of your patron also allows you to mystically channel your will through a particular weapon. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest.
Accursed Specter
Starting at 6th level, you can curse the soul of a person you slay, temporarily binding it to your service. When you slay a humanoid, you can cause its spirit to rise from its corpse as a specter, the statistics for which are in the Monster Manual. When the specter appears, it gains temporary hit points equal to half your warlock level. The specter acts on your initiative and takes its turns after yours. It obeys your verbal commands, and it gains a special bonus to its attack rolls equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +0).
The specter remains in your service until the end of your next long rest, at which point it vanishes to the afterlife.
Once you bind a specter with this feature, you can't use the feature again until you finish a long rest.
Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Moreover, you can cast one of your cantrips in place of one of those attacks.
Armor of Hexes
At 10th level, your hex grows more powerful. If the target cursed by your Hexblade's Curse hits you with an attack roll, you can roll a d6(no action required). On a 4 or higher, the attack instead misses you, regardless of its roll.
Dark Barrier
Also at 10th level, your knowledge of curses allows you to shield yourself from them more effectively. You can cast circle of power once without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to cast this spell when you complete a long rest.
Master of Hexes
Starting at 14th level, you can spread your Hexblade's Curse from a slain creature to another creature. When the creature cursed by your Hexblade's Curse dies, you can apply the curse to a different creature you can see within 30 feet of you, provided you aren't incapacitated. When you apply the curse in this way, you don't regain hit points from the death of the previously cursed creature.
Annihilating Hex
Starting at 14th level, you can channel your patron's power to slay a creature. You can cast finger of death. After you cast the spell with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
For every intelligent person who leans magic to destroy their foes from afar, there are a hundred idiots who will only use their power to hit harder with a sword.
PART 2
Advanced Weapon Rules
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4d/f8/a4/4df8a431460fe904e430a87b1a2ff563.jpg)
Weapons Rework
Weapons in D&D 5e are lame and underpowered. You basically get a choice of polearm, hand crossbow or wrong answer, and it's not like those weapons are good as much as it is that they're okay or the least weak. Spells outclass everything and everyone, to the point where martials in 5e are basically redundant wingless familiars. Especially melee martials who just make it harder to position AoE shutdown spells on top of dealing less damage than ranged ones.
This document aims to repair the weapon system of D&D 5e, drawing inspiration primarily from the good edition of D&D(4e), as well as Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and Star Wars 5e. It is intended to be used with my martial class rework series.
Weapon Properties
Agony. When a hit with this weapon would cause the target of your attack to make a Constitution saving throw for any reason, add the agony number to the save DC.
Brutal. When you score a critical hit with a weapon with the brutal property, you roll a number of additional weapon damage dice equal to the brutal number.
Clipped Wings. When you score a critical hit with this weapon against a creature with a nonmagical flying speed that cannot hover, you can force it to make a Constitution saving throw against a DC equal to the clipped wings number. On a failed save, it is knocked prone. On a success, its speed is reduced by 5 feet until the end of its next turn.
Defensive. If you attack with a weapon with the defensive property on your turn, you gain a bonus to AC equal to the defensive number that lasts until the start of your next turn.
Disarming. When you score a critical hit with a weapon with the disarming property against a creature that is holding an object, you can attempt to disarm the target (no action required). If the target is no more than one size larger than you (your size or smaller if your weapon has the light property), it must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your bonus to attacks with the weapon) or it drops an object of your choice at its feet.
Finesse.
When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls.
Heavy. When you hit with an attack roll using Strength with this weapon, you deal additional damage equal to half your Strength modifier (rounded up, minimum of +1).
High Crit. When you score a critical hit with a weapon with the high crit property, the normal damage dice(not added as a result of the critical hit, or a feature dependent on it such as brutal) are maximized.
Impact. When you score a hit with a weapon with the impact property on your turn, you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to the impact number if you moved at least 20 feet towards the target since the start of your turn.
Keen. When you make a weapon attack with a weapon with the keen property, it scores a critical hit on a roll equal to 20 - the keen number or higher. This stacks with any effects that would allow you to score a critical hit on a lower roll, i.e. an attack with keen 3 and Hexblade's Curse scores a critical hit on 16-20.
Light. A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when engaging in Double- or Two-Weapon Fighting.
Mighty. When making an attack with a mighty weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.
Parrying. A weapon with this property grants you a +1 bonus to AC if you are wielding another weapon in your other hand.
Piercing. When making an attack with a weapon with the piercing property against a target wearing medium, heavy or natural armor, reduce the target's AC by the piercing number for the purposes of that attack if you scored at least one hit against it since the end of your last turn.
Pummeling. When you attempt to shove a creature while wielding a weapon with the pummelling property, you can replace the ability check with an attack roll using the weapon. All other restrictions apply.
Range. A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range shown in parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon’s normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon’s maximum range. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can’t attack a target beyond the weapon’s long range.
Reach. This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach with it.
Shieldbreaker. When you score a critical hit with a weapon with this property against a target with a shield, you can force it to make a Dexterity saving throw with a DC equal to the shieldbreaker number. On a failed save, the target's shield is destroyed. If the weapon has the impact property, you can add the impact number to the DC as long as the damage roll would include the bonus from that property.
Special. A weapon with the special property has unusual rules governing its use, explained in the weapon’s description (see “Special Weapons” later in this section).
Thrown. If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon.
Two-Handed. This weapon requires two hands to use.
Versatile. This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property-the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee attack.
Vicious. When you roll damage for a weapon with the vicious property, you can re-roll damage rolls equal to or lower than the vicious number. You must use the new roll.
A web a day keeps the melee martials away.

Tratnyr

Urgrosh
When you make an attack with your bonus action using this weapon via the Polearm Master feat, the attack deals piercing damage instead of bludgeoning.
Widow's knife
This weapon contains a hidden compartment to store poison. You can spend one minute inserting one dose of any poison into this compartment. While you are wielding this weapon, you can apply the poison to the weapon using your object interaction, instead of an action or bonus action.
Wrist razors
This weapon is attached to your wrist. It does not require a free hand to attack with, although you cannot use the same hand to benefit from a shield or grip a two-handed weapon. You cannot be disarmed of this weapon.
Zadatl
When you attack with this weapon against a Large or smaller target and beat the target's AC by 5 or more, the target is grappled(escape DC 14). If the zadatl is an oversized weapon, it can grapple Huge or smaller targets instead. This effect does not apply to the bonus action attack granted by Polearm Master. You can only have one target grappled by this weapon at any time. The grapple ends if you are no longer wielding the weapon.

PART 3
Nonmagical Items
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ae/07/15/ae07156ee3a63d1f94725ed2c898c728.jpg)
Nonmagical Items
The following items have been taken primarily from older D&D content, most notably Ravenloft Gazetteer. If an item has a cost, it can be purchased as part of your starting equipment, and there exist places in the world where it can be bought.
Bitterblot
Bitterblot is a fruit which, when sliced in a specific manner, augments one's curses. When you use a spell or feature that curses a target, you may cut the fruit to increase the DC by 1. Doing so requires that you wield a knife or similar short blade(a dagger will qualift, for example) in one hand.
Quovusp Root
This root repels wild animals and magical beasts when burned in a campfire. A beast that comes within 60 feet of a fire where this root is burning must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of the fire for 1 hour. It can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Once the effect ends on it or it succeeds on the saving throw, it cannot be frightened by quovusp root again for 24 hours.
Goblyn Lime Juice
Injury poison
A creature affected by this poison, gathered from the goblyn lime, must make a a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 2d4 poison damage. It takes 1d4 poison damage at the start of each of its turns for 10 minutes. At the end of each of its turns, it can make another DC 16 Constitution saving throw, ending the effect on a success.
Raineater Toadstool
Injury poison
A creature affected by this poison must make a a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 2d6 poison damage and suffer a -2 penalty to its Strength score. At the end of every 24-hour period during which it was poisoned, it can make another DC 13 Constitution saving throw, ending the effect on a success and taking another 1d6 poison damage on a failure.
Ghost Threads
As an action, a creature can consume one dose of ghost threads. Upon doing so, it must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 2d10 poison damage and suffering a -1 penalty to its Constitution score on a failure. Additionally, whether or not it failed the save, for the next 2d4 days it can see into the Ethereal Plane to a range of 10 feet. When this ends, so does the Constitution penalty.
This substance is considered a poison.
Lung-eater Puffball
Inhaled poison
A creature affected by this poison must make a a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 1d10 poison damage and suffer a -2 penalty to its Constitution score and progress to the first stage of the disease. At the end of every 24-hour period during which it was poisoned, it can make another DC 16 Constitution saving throw, progressing to the next stage of the disease on a failure. For each stage of the disease, the duration the creature can survive without breathing is reduced by 1 minute. When this number drops to 0, the creature dies. Three consecutive successes end the poison's effect.
Mausskul Mushroom
Ingested poison
A creature affected by this poison must make a a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 2d10 poison damage, or half as much on a success. If the target's statblock name includes the word "rat"(such as wererat, giant rat, etc.) this damage is doubled against it.
Meekulbrau
Drinking a flagon of meekulbrau - the wine of a meekulbern vine grants a +2 bonus to all Performance checks that involve speech or singing for 1 hour. For the duration, the drinker's lips and teeth are stained bloodred, before the stain turns flaky and brown and falls off. Drinking this wine is often cited as an excuse by lycanthropes caught shortly after a kill.
Nightblight
While not picked, this plant prevents any creature with the word "wolf" in its name(including creatures affected by the polymorph spell to turn into wolves and similar) from coming within 30 feet of it unless they succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. After being picked, the DC is reduced by 2 every 24 hours. Shapechangers are only affected while in wolf form.
A creature that fails its saving throw against this plant can attempt it again after one hour has passed. To all unaffected creatures, it is odorless.
Spuma Vitae
A creature that drinks spuma vitae-tainted water regains 1 hit point every 10 minutes for 24 hours. This water does not, however, provide sustenance in any way. Additionally, a humanoid, beast or monstrosity that dies while under the effects of such water or drowns in it is infected, and cannot be brought back to life by spells of 4th-level or lower. It slowly transforms into a shambling mound over the course of 2d4 days.
Necropolitan Amaranth
Ingested poison
A creature affected by this poison must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 1d8 poison damage on a failure, or half as much on a success. Additionally, on a failed saving throw, it suffers a -1d3 penalty to its Intelligence score that lasts for 24 hours.
Placing necropolitan amaranth seeds under the tongue of a corpse puts it under the effect of a gentle repose spell.
A creature wearing amaranth bloom against its skin is immune to effects that would magically age it.
Bloodroot Poison
Injury poison, ingested poison
A creature affected by this poison must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 2d6 poison damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. Additionally, on a failure it becomes unable to take bonus actions or make opportunity attacks for 1 hour. An affected creature can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Greenblood Poison
Injury poison, ingested poison
A creature affected by this poison must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 2d8 poison damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. Additionally, on a failure it becomes unable to regain hit points for 1 hour. An affected creature can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Nitharit Poison
Injury poison, contact poison
A creature affected by this poison must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 1d4 poison damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. Additionally, on a failure it loses its immunity and/or resistance to poison damage and the poisoned condition for 1 hour. An affected creature can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Ungol Dust
Inhaled poison
A creature affected by this poison must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 3d8 poison damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. Additionally, on a failure it takes 1d10 acid damage at the start of each of its turns for 1 hour. An affected creature can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Deathjump Spider Venom
Contact poison
A creature affected by this poison must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 5 poison damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. Additionally, on a failure it takes 5 poison damage at the start of each of its turns for 1 hour, and has its speed reduced by 10 feet for the duration. An affected creature can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Skull Rot
Inhaled poison
A creature affected by this poison must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 1d8 poison damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. Additionally, on a failure it is affected as though by the confusion spell. An affected creature can make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.
The creature is under your control for 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you've given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature again before the current 24-hour period ends.

A creature holding the material component can attempt to command the bodak as an action.

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.

8th-level necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 150 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a bit of sponge)
- Duration: Instantaneous
You draw the moisture from every creature in a 30-foot cube centered on a point you choose within range. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw. Constructs and undead aren't affected, and plants and water elementals make this saving throw with disadvantage. A creature takes 14d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Additionally, for the next 1d8 rounds the area you chose is cursed. Until this effect ends, creatures within the area cannot regain hit points unless they are undead or constructs, and undead make attack rolls and Constitution saving throws with advantage. For every creature within the area that is reduced to 0 hit points, you or an undead within 60 feet that you choose can roll a hit die and regain hit points as if taking a short rest.
A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this spell cannot regain hit points unless healed by a spell of 4th level or higher. When this happens, it can regain hit points as normal. A creature killed by this spell cannot return to life unless brought back to life by a spell of 4th level or higher.
Nonmagical plants in the area that aren't creatures, such as trees and shrubs, wither and die instantly.
Aganazzar's Scorcher
2nd-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a red dragon's scale)
- Duration: Instantaneous
A line of roaring flame 30 feet long and 5 feet wide emanates from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Bonuses to saving throws provided by half-cover and three-quarters cover do not apply against this spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
Arcane Gate
4th-level conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 500 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You create linked teleportation portals that remain open for the duration. Choose two points on the ground that you can see, one point within 10 feet of you and one point within 500 feet of you. A circular portal, 10 feet in diameter, opens over each point. If the portal would open in the space occupied by a creature, the spell fails, and the casting is lost.
The portals are two-dimensional glowing rings filled with mist, hovering inches from the ground and perpendicular to it at the points you choose. A ring is visible only from one side (your choice), which is the side that functions as a portal.
Any creature or object entering the portal exits from the other portal as if the two were adjacent to each other; passing through a portal from the nonportal side has no effect. The mist that fills each portal is opaque and blocks vision through it. On your turn, you can rotate the rings as a bonus action so that the active side faces in a different direction.
Arms of Hadar
1st-level conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (10-foot radius)
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
You invoke the power of Hadar, the Dark Hunger. Tendrils of dark energy erupt from you and batter all creatures within 10 feet of you. Each creature in that area must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes 2d6 necrotic damage and can't take reactions until its next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage, but suffers no other effect.
A creature that fails the save by 5 or more is grappled by you(escape DC = your spell save DC). Maintaining this grapple does not require the use of your hands, but the grapple is automatically broken after 1 minute has passed. While a creature is grappled in this manner, it takes 2 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
Ashardalon's Stride
2nd-level transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
The billowing flames of a dragon blast from your feet, granting you explosive speed. For the duration, your speed increases by 20 feet and moving doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.
When you move within 5 feet of a creature or an object that isn't being worn or carried, it takes 1d6 fire damage from your trail of heat. A creature or object can take this damage only once during a turn.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, increase your speed by 5 feet for each spell slot level above 2nd. The spell deals an additional 1d6 fire damage for each slot level above 2nd.

- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (a bit of fur wrapped in a cloth)
- Duration: 10 minutes
You establish a telepathic link with one beast you touch that is friendly to you or charmed by you. The spell fails if the beast's Intelligence score is 4 or higher. Until the spell ends, the link is active while you and the beast are within line of sight of each other. Through the link, the beast can understand your telepathic messages to it, and it can telepathically communicate simple emotions and concepts back to you. While the link is active, the beast gains advantage on attack rolls against any creature within 5 feet of you that you can see.
Blade of Disaster
7th-level conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You create a blade-shaped planar rift about 3 feet long in an unoccupied space you can see within range. The blade lasts for the duration. When you cast this spell, you can make up to two melee spell attacks with the blade, each one against a creature, loose object, or structure within 5 feet of the blade. On a hit, the target takes 4d12 + your spellcasting ability modifier force damage. This attack scores a critical hit if the number on the d20 is 18 or higher. On a critical hit, the blade deals an extra 8d12 force damage (for a total of 12d12 + your spellcasting ability modifier force damage).
As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the blade up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see and then make up to two melee spell attacks with it again.
The blade can harmlessly pass through any barrier, including a wall of force.

- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Instantaneous
Necromantic energy washes over up to three creatures of your choice that you can see within range, draining moisture and vitality from it. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. The target takes 10d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs.
If you target a plant creature or a magical plant, it makes the saving throw with disadvantage, and the spell deals maximum damage to it.

Blur
2nd-level illusion
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V
- Duration: 1 minute
Your body becomes blurred, shifting and wavering to all who can see you. For the duration, any creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against you. An attacker is immune to this effect if it doesn't rely on sight, as with blindsight, or can see through illusions, as with truesight.
Burning Hands
1st-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self (15-foot cone)
- Components: V, S

You cause up to six pillars of stone to burst from places on the ground that you can see within range. Each pillar is a cylinder that has a diameter of 5 feet and a height of up to 30 feet. The ground where a pillar appears must be wide enough for its diameter, and you can target the ground under a creature if that creature is Medium or smaller. Each pillar has AC 5 and 30 hit points. When reduced to 0 hit points, a pillar crumbles into rubble, which creates an area of difficult terrain with a 10-foot radius that lasts until the rubble is cleared. Each 5-foot-diameter portion of the area requires at least 1 minute to clear by hand.
If a pillar is created under a creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be lifted by the pillar. A creature can choose to fail the save.
If a pillar is prevented from reaching its full height because of a ceiling or other obstacle, a creature on the pillar takes 6d6 bludgeoning damage and is restrained, pinched between the pillar and the obstacle. The restrained creature can use an action to make a Strength or Dexterity check (the creature's choice) against the spell's save DC. On a success, the creature is no longer restrained and must either move off the pillar or fall off it.

While the creature is charmed, you have a telepathic link with it as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," or "Fetch that object." If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.
You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do.

Time Stop
7th-level transmutation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V
- Duration: Instantaneous
You briefly stop the flow of time for everyone but yourself. No time passes for other creatures, while you take 1d4 + 1 turns in a row, during which you can use actions and move as normal.
This spell ends if one of the actions you use during this period, or any effects that you create during this period, affects a creature other than you or an object being worn or carried by someone other than you.

True Strike
Divination cantrip

Vampiric Touch
3rd-level necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Self
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
The touch of your shadow-wreathed hand can siphon life force from others to heal your wounds. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach.

Until the spell ends, you can make the attack again on each of your turns as a bonus action.

Vicious Mockery
Enchantment cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V
- Duration: Instantaneous
You unleash a string of insults laced with subtle enchantments at a creature you can see within range. If the target can hear you (though it need not understand you), it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 1d4 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn. A creature within 30 feet of the target can use its reaction to join the mockery, increasing the die size by one step(1d4 to 1d6, 1d6 to 1d8, 1d8 to 1d10, 1d10 to 1d12). This cannot increase the die size to greater than 1d12.
This spell's damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4).
Vitriolic Sphere
3rd-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 150 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a drop of giant slug bile)
- Duration: Instantaneous
You point at a location within range, and a glowing 1-foot-diameter ball of emerald acid streaks there and explodes in a 20-foot-radius sphere. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 10d4 acid damage and another 5d4 acid damage at the end of its next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half the initial damage and no damage at the end of its next turn.

Wall of Ice
5th-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a small piece of quartz)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You create a wall of ice on a solid surface within range. You can form it into a hemispherical dome or a sphere with a radius of up to 10 feet, or you can shape a flat surface made up of ten 10-foot-square panels. Each panel must be contiguous with another panel. In any form, the wall is 1 foot thick and lasts for the duration.
If the wall cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature within its area is pushed to one side of the wall and must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 10d6 cold damage, or half as much damage on a successful save.
The wall is an object that can be damaged and thus breached. It has AC 12 and 30 hit points per 10-foot section, and it is vulnerable to fire damage. Reducing a 10-foot section of wall to 0 hit points destroys it and leaves behind a sheet of frigid air in the space the wall occupied. A creature moving through the sheet of frigid air for the first time on a turn must make a Constitution saving throw. That creature takes 5d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the damage the wall deals when it appears increases by 2d6, and the damage from passing through the sheet of frigid air increases by 1d6, for each slot level above 6th.
Wall of Light
3rd-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a hand mirror)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
A shimmering wall of bright light appears at a point you choose within range. The wall appears in any orientation you choose: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It can be free floating, or it can rest on a solid surface. The wall can be up to 60 feet long, 10 feet high, and 5 feet thick. The wall blocks line of sight, but creatures and objects can pass through it. It emits bright light out to 120 feet and dim light for an additional 120 feet.
When the wall appears, each creature in its area must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d8 radiant damage, and it is blinded for 1 minute. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage and isn't blinded. A blinded creature can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
A creature that ends its turn in the wall's area takes 4d8 radiant damage.
Until the spell ends, you can use an action to launch a beam of radiance from the wall at one creature you can see within 60 feet of it. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 4d8 radiant damage. Whether you hit or miss, reduce the length of the wall by 10 feet. If the wall's length drops to 0 feet, the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 5th.
Wall of Sand
2nd-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 90 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a handful of sand)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You create a wall of swirling sand on the ground at a point you can see within range. You can make the wall up to 30 feet long, 10 feet high, and 10 feet thick, and it vanishes when the spell ends. It blocks line of sight but not movement. A creature is blinded while in the wall's space and must spend 3 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves there.
Wall of Water
2nd-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a drop of water)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You create a wall of water on the ground at a point you can see within range. You can make the wall up to 30 feet long, 10 feet high, and 1 foot thick, or you can make a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick. The wall vanishes when the spell ends. The wall's space is difficult terrain.
Any ranged weapon attack that enters the wall's space has disadvantage on the attack roll, and fire damage is halved if the fire effect passes through the wall to reach its target. Spells that deal cold damage that pass through the wall cause the area of the wall they pass through to freeze solid (at least a 5-foot-square section is frozen). Each 5-foot-square frozen section has AC 5 and 15 hit points. Reducing a frozen section to 0 hit points destroys it. When a section is destroyed, the wall's water doesn't fill it.
Warding Bond
1st-level abjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (a pair of platinum rings worth at least 50 gp each, which you and the target must wear for the duration)
- Duration: 1 hour
This spell wards a willing creature you touch and creates a mystic connection between you and the target until the spell ends. While the target is within 60 feet of you, it gains a +1 bonus to AC and saving throws, and it has resistance to all damage. Also, each time it takes damage, you take the same amount of damage.
The spell ends if you drop to 0 hit points or if you and the target become separated by more than 60 feet. It also ends if the spell is cast again on either of the connected creatures. You can also dismiss the spell as an action.
Warding Wind
Evocation cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Components: V
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
A strong wind (20 miles per hour) blows around you in a 10-foot radius and moves with you, remaining centered on you. The wind lasts for the spell's duration.
The wind has the following effects:
- It deafens you and other creatures in its area.
- It extinguishes unprotected flames in its area that are torch-sized or smaller.
- It hedges out nonmagical vapor, gas, and fog that can be dispersed by strong wind.
- The area is difficult terrain for creatures other than you.
- The attack rolls of ranged weapon attacks have disadvantage if the attacks pass in or out of the wind.
Watery Sphere
2nd-level conjuration
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 90 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a droplet of water)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You conjure up a sphere of water with a 5-foot radius at a point you can see within range. The sphere can hover but no more than 10 feet off the ground. The sphere remains for the spell's duration.
Any creature in the sphere's space must make a Strength saving throw. On a successful save, a creature is ejected from that space to the nearest unoccupied space of the creature's choice outside the sphere. A Huge or larger creature succeeds on the saving throw automatically, and a Large or smaller creature can choose to fail it. On a failed save, a creature is restrained by the sphere and is engulfed by the water. At the end of each of its turns, a restrained target can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
The sphere can restrain as many as four Medium or smaller creatures or one Large creature. If the sphere restrains a creature that causes it to exceed this capacity, a random creature that was already restrained by the sphere falls out of it and lands prone in a space within 5 feet of it.
As an action, you can move the sphere up to 30 feet in a straight line. If it moves over a pit, a cliff, or other drop-off, it safely descends until it is hovering 10 feet above the ground. Any creature restrained by the sphere moves with it. You can ram the sphere into creatures, forcing them to make the saving throw.
When the spell ends, the sphere falls to the ground and extinguishes all normal flames within 30 feet of it. Any creature restrained by the sphere is knocked prone in the space where it falls. The water then vanishes.
Weird
4th-level illusion
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: V, S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Drawing on the deepest fears of a group of creatures, you create illusory creatures in their minds, visible only to them. Each creature in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened for the duration. The illusion calls on the creature's deepest fears, manifesting its worst nightmares as an implacable threat. At the end of each of the frightened creature's turns, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw with disadvantage or take 4d10 psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature at the end of its next turn.
Whirlwind
7th-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 300 feet
- Components: V, M (a piece of straw)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
A whirlwind howls down to a point that you can see on the ground within range. The whirlwind is a 15-foot-radius, 30-foot-high cylinder centered on that point. Until the spell ends, you can use your action to move the whirlwind up to 30 feet in any direction along the ground. The whirlwind sucks up any Medium or smaller objects that aren't secured to anything and that aren't worn or carried by anyone.
A creature must make a Dexterity saving throw the first time on a turn that it enters the whirlwind or that the whirlwind enters its space, including when the whirlwind first appears. A creature takes 10d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. In addition, a Large or smaller creature that fails the save becomes restrained in the whirlwind until the spell ends. When a creature starts its turn restrained by the whirlwind, the creature is pulled 5 feet higher inside it, unless the creature is at the top. A restrained creature moves with the whirlwind and falls when the spell ends, unless the creature has some means to stay aloft.
A restrained creature can use an action to make a Strength or Dexterity check against your spell save DC. If successful, the creature is no longer restrained by the whirlwind and is hurled 3d6 × 10 feet up and away from it in a random direction. If it succeeds by 5 or more, it is not hurled up, only horizontally.
Wind Wall
2nd-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a tiny fan and a feather of exotic origin)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
A wall of strong wind rises from the ground at a point you choose within range. You can make the wall up to 50 feet long, 15 feet high, and 1 foot thick. You can shape the wall in any way you choose so long as it makes one continuous path along the ground. The wall lasts for the duration.
When the wall appears, each creature within its area must make a Strength saving throw. A creature takes 3d8 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The strong wind keeps fog, smoke, and other gases at bay. Small or smaller flying creatures or objects can't pass through the wall. Loose, lightweight materials brought into the wall fly upward. Arrows, bolts, and other ordinary projectiles launched at targets behind the wall are deflected upward and automatically miss. (Boulders hurled by giants or siege engines, and similar projectiles, are unaffected.) Creatures in gaseous form can't pass through it.
Witch Bolt
1st-level evocation
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a twig from a tree that has been struck by lightning)
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
A beam of crackling, blue energy lances out toward a creature within range, forming a sustained arc of lightning between you and the target. Make a ranged spell attack against that creature. On a hit, the target takes 1d12 lightning damage, and on each of your turns for the duration, you can use your bonus action to deal 1d12 lightning damage to the target automatically. The spell ends if you use your bonus action to do anything else. The spell also ends if the target is ever outside the spell's range or if it has total cover from you.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d12 for each slot level above 1st.
Wither and Bloom
1st-level necromancy
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Components: V, S, M (a withered vine twisted into a loop)
- Duration: Instantaneous
You invoke both death and life upon a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on a point within range. Each creature of your choice in that area must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 2d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Nonmagical vegetation in that area withers.
In addition, one creature of your choice in that area can spend and roll one of its unspent Hit Dice and regain a number of hit points equal to the roll plus your spellcasting ability modifier, plus half the damage dealt by the spell.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot above the 2nd, and the number of Hit Dice that can be spent and added to the healing roll increases by one for each slot above 2nd.
Word of Radiance
Evocation cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: 5 feet
- Components: V, M (a holy symbol)
- Duration: Instantaneous
You utter a divine word, and burning radiance erupts from you. Each creature of your choice that you can see within range must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or take 1d8 radiant damage. If your alignment is good, an evil creature that succeeds on its saving throw takes 1 radiant damage. If your alignment is evil, a good creature that succeeds on its saving throw takes 1 radiant damage.
The spell's damage increases by 1d8 and the secondary damage increases by one die size when you reach 5th level (2d8 and 1d4), 11th level (3d8 and 1d6), and 17th level (4d8 and 1d8).
Global Buff to Tasha Summons
All spells that summon creatures added in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything and books published after it are subject to the following changes:
- Increase the creature's hit points by an additional 5 times the spell's level, to a minimum of +20.
- The spell requires no material components.
- The creature gains a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
- When determining the number of attacks it makes, round up.
- The creature gains the features of all its forms, rather than making you choose one.
PART 5
Variant Rules
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ca/be/c3/cabec3080878e7f1c055b44153a615a8.jpg)
Variant Rules
Bridging the Gap
Everyone knows the caster > half-caster > martial gap is a thing, and the power difference between the three groups is bigger than the stupidity of Reddit.
This rule provides additional feats to the classes most disadvantaged by the martial-caster disparity. Classes shall be defined as follows:
- Fullcaster refers to bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, warlock and wizard.
- 2/3 caster refers to monk and death knight(homebrew).
- Half-caster refers to artificer, ranger and paladin.
- Martial refers to everything else.
Buff to Martials
Martial classes gain a free feat of their choice at level 2, 6, 9, 12 and 18.
Buff to Half-casters
Half-casters gain a free feat of their choice at level 6, 12 and 18.
Buff to Fullcasters
Fullcasters and 2/3 casters gain a free feat of their choice at level 9 and 18.
In all cases level refers to class level.
Free Feat Game
Everyone gets a free feat of their choice at level 1.
Summoning Augment
If you use a spell or feature that summons one or more creatures and they would roll their own initiative, they instead use your initiative and take their turn after yours.
Martial Multiclassing and Extra Attack
Characters who multiclass in classes with the Extra Attack feature can add their class levels together to gain that feature. Their combined level in those classes must satisfy the level requirement in both classes to receive this benefit, however.
For instance, a character with 2 levels in fighter and 3 levels in barbarian would be eligible for Extra Attack, since their combined levels would meet the 5th-level requirement for Extra Attack in both classes.
Devastating Criticals
When you score a critical hit, instead of rolling the damage dice twice, you instead maximize the damage once and then roll the second die.
Exertion
When you make an attack roll, ability check or saving throw, you can expend a hit die to roll it and add it to the result. When you do so, you also lose hit points equal to the number rolled, which cannot be reduced in any way.
You can wait until after you roll the d20 before deciding to exert yourself, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. I mean, who are we kidding, you can figure out whether you passed by yourself.
Overlapping Proficiencies
If you would gain proficiency in a weapon from two different sources, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
If you would gain proficiency in light armor from two different sources, you gain a +1 bonus to Dexterity saving throws while wearing that armor.
If you would gain proficiency in medium armor from two different sources, you gain a +1 bonus to Constitution saving throws while wearing that armor.
If you would gain proficiency in heavy armor from two different sources, you treat the armor's absorptive property as being 1 higher while wearing that armor. If it does not have the absorptive property, it gains the absorptive 1 property.
If you would gain the Extra Attack feature multiple times, you gain an additional fighting style from any list available to one of your classes.
If you would gain Unarmored Defense multiple times, you gain a +1 to AC while benefitting from Unarmored Defense.
For the purposes of this rule, "different sources" means two different sources out of the following: Race, class feature, feat, epic boon, spell.
Variant Surprise
A creature that is surprised can still use its action on the first round and move, but its speed is halved.
Call for Surrender
As an action, you can attempt to persuade a hostile creature within 30 feet of you that can hear you to surrender. The target must be at or below half its hit point maximum for this to work(you are entitled to this knowledge, ask your DM). Make a Charisma(Persuasion), Charisma(Intimidation) or Strength(Intimidation) check. If the total exceeds the target's current hit points, it surrenders. A creature that surrenders generally won't attack you anymore unless you later provoke it, such as by loudly declaring you will flay your prisoners of war alive or by attacking it directly.
A creature with Intelligence of 4 or lower has no idea what you're saying and will never surrender.
Lesser and Greater Feats
Feats in 5e are created about as far from equal as RPGBot content is created far from correct, and this variant rule will try to fix that.

When you gain a feat via the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can choose one Greater Feat and one Unimportant Feat, or two Lesser Feats and one Unimportant Feat.
Racial Progression
At 6th level, you gain one feat of your choice that has a prerequisite of your race. If no such feat exists, or if you have all the ones that exist already, you instead gain one of the following benefits:
- If you are resistant to a damage type due to a racial feature, reduce damage of that type you take by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus
- You gain a +1 bonus to the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and natural weapons
- If you have a racial ability that forces targets to make a saving throw, add 1 to the DC. This includes spells provided by your race.
- If you know a spell granted by your race that lets you make a spell attack, add 1 to your attack rolls with that spell
- If you have telepathy, increase the range by 10 feet
- If your speed is 35 feet or greater, increase it by 5 feet
- You gain a +2 bonus to ability checks made to interact with cats, tressyms and gremishkas
ASI And A Feat
Instead of choosing between an ASI and a feat when you get the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can choose to gain +1 to an ability score of your choice and a feat.
PART 6
Prestige Classes
![](https://ap-pics2.gotpoem.com/ap-pics/item/12014/27.jpg?)
Prestige Classes
Prestige classes are a mechanic from older editions that I have decided to reintroduce in 5e. After all, Paladin is one in all but name.
What is a Prestige Class?
A prestige class is a class with prerequisites to multiclass into it or take levels in it at all. For example, you may have an elf-exclusive elven archer prestige class.
But What About Spellcasting Progression?
A valid concern! After all, if you multiclass too many levels you will be behind by quite a lot. To amend this, there are three types of prestige class: Martial, Half-caster and Fullcaster.
- When taking levels in a Martial prestige class, your spellcasting progression does not increase at all. A wizard 6/martial prestige class 4 has the spellcasting of a 6th-level wizard.
- When taking levels in a Half-caster prestige class, your spellcasting progression increases at a rate of 1/2 your levels in the class. A wizard 6/half-caster prestige class 4 has the spellcasting of an 8th-level wizard(including spells prepared and additions to their spellbook).
- When taking levels in a Fullcaster prestige class, your spellcasting progression increases at a rate of 1 per level in the class. A wizard 6/fullcaster prestige class 4 has the spellcasting of a 10th-level wizard(including spells prepared and additions to their spellbook).
If you have levels in multiple spellcasting classes, each time you gain a level in a prestige class you must choose one class to advance in in this manner. For example, a sorcerer 1/warlock 5 gaining a level in a fullcaster prestige class can choose to gain the spellcasting capabilities of a 2nd-level sorcerer or a 6th-level warlock, not both.
You cannot get faster progression than normal from a prestige class, i.e. a ranger 5/cancer mage 5 doesn't get 4th-level slots.
What Don't I Get From my Class?
You do not get anything that isn't spellcasting, Pact Magic or Mystic Arcanum. You also don't get new spells on your expanded spell list(Clockwork Soul Sorcerer 7/Fullcaster Prestige Class 2 gets 5th-level slots and can know 5th-level sorcerer spells, but doesn't get wall of force). You don't get your class's hit points, subclass features, etc.
If your class's features include the Additional Feature Scaling trait, you add your levels in that prestige class to your levels in the class that provided you with that feature(if you have it from multiple sources, choose one). For example, a Dirgesinger 5/Bard 5 has the Bardic Inspiration dice of a 10th-level bard.
Cancer Mage
Prerequisites
- Current level: 5th or higher
- Skills: Religion, Performance
- Ability Scores: Int 13, Wis 13 or Cha 13
Prestige Class Description
Scurrying about in sewers, back alleys, and abandoned buildings, the cancer mage feeds upon the corpse of society. The cancer mage hides in the darkness where no one wants to look, digging through trash long forgotten. Cancer mages are some of the most disgusting individuals a character is ever likely to meet, for they revel in filth, disease, and decay. They usually have their own foul goals, sometimes venerating deities of disease or corruption and other times spreading disease for its own sake. Cancer mages use their power to equip themselves with a deadly array of weapons, but these are not the weapons of a warrior.

Sneak Attack
See the rogue class.
Disease Host
Starting at 1st level when you choose this prestige class, your body is an infested nightmare of disease and decay. You gain immunity to poison and disease.
You can still be infected and contract disease, but you will not suffer its effects.
Virus Host
At 3rd level, you are able to cultivate a particular disease within your body. When you finish a long rest, you can reduce your Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma score by 1(your choice) to develop a new disease in your flesh. Choose one of the options below:
- You are infected with sewer plague. When you hit a creature with a natural weapon or unarmed strike, you can reduce your Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma score by 1 to breathe life into the disease. The target must make a Constitution saving throw or contract the disease.
- You are infected with sight rot. As an action, you can spit into a liquid, contaminating a 5-foot cube. When a creature drinks the contaminated liquid, you can use your reaction to reduce your Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma score by 1 to breathe life into the disease. The target must make a Constitution saving throw or contract the disease.
If the target succeeds on its saving throw or the disease is cured, you regain Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma spent on that instance of disease at the end of your next long rest. You cannot reduce a score to less than 1 - if your score is 1, you cannot use it for more diseases.
Extra Attack
Starting at 5th level, you can make two attacks when you take the Attack action on your turn, instead of one. Additionally, you can apply an injury poison to a weapon you are wielding as an object interaction.
Children of the Night
Starting at 6th level, you can summon vermin to aid you. You learn the vermin cantrip, and your spellcasting ability for it is Constitution. Additionally, as an action you can summon 2d4 swarms of rats, which appear in unoccupied spaces in dim light or darkness within 30 feet of you.
The summoned rats act on your initiative, taking their turn after yours. They are friendly to you and your companions, and follow your verbal commands(no action required). The rats follow your commands for 1 minute, retreating afterwards(they will not attack unless attacked first, and will attempt to leave the battlefield).
At your DM's discretion, summoning the rats so that they come out of a sewer or similar rat-infested location can increase the number of rats summoned to 2d6 or 2d8.
Once you use this ability twice, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
The fact this class gains Sneak Attack is a reference to the fact that rogues are cancer.
Insect Armor
At 9th level, you are able to conjure hordes of vermin to protect yourself from harm. As a bonus action while you are wearing light armor or no armor, you can surround yourself with buzzing flies, forming an aura of repulsive stench. The aura extends 5 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. It lasts until you're incapacitated or you dismiss it as a bonus action.
The aura grants you advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks but disadvantage on all other Charisma checks. Any other creature that starts its turn in the aura takes poison damage equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 0 damage).
While this feature is active, all damage you take is reduced by an amount equal to your Constitution modifier.
Greater Virus
At 10th level, your very touch inflicts disease. You can cast contagion at will, using Wisdom or Constitution as the spellcasting ability, and the spell has a casting time of 1 bonus action for you.

You can use this feature twice, and you regain the ability to do so upon completing a short or long rest.
Summoning Mastery
At 2nd level, your skill at summoning improves. When you cast a spell that summons demons using a spell slot, you can treat it as though you cast it with a spell slot of a level 1 higher than the one you used. This increases to a spell slot of a level 2 higher than the one you used at 5th level.
Summoning Circle
At 5th level, you learn the magic circle spell, which always counts as prepared for you and does not count towards your maximum number of spells known or prepared. Your spellcasting ability for this spell is Intelligence or Charisma.
When you cast magic circle, instead of providing the material component you may use the blood of a humanoid killed no more than 1 hour ago in ritual sacrifice.
Fiendish Protection
At 6th level, you gain resistance to fire and poison damage.
Telepathy
At 7th level, you gain telepathy out to a range of 60 feet, which increases to 120 feet if the recipient of your communications is a demon.
Dominate Demon
At 8th level, you attain the pinnacle of demon domination. You can cast dominate monster at will—targeting a demon—without expending a spell slot or material components. You must finish a long rest before you can use this feature on the same creature again.
Your spellcasting ability for the spell is Intelligence or Charisma.

Diabolism
Starting at 1st level when you choose this prestige class, you learn to empower your spells with fiendish magic. When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw, you can empower that spell(no action required). The spell deals an additional amount of psychic damage as shown in the Diabolism table. If the spell deals damage to a good-aligned creature, increase the damage dice to d10s. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Vile Diabolism
Starting at 6th level, your corrupted magic has altered your body. Your Strength score increases by 3, to a maximum of 17, and whenever you take the Dash action you gain a flying speed of 10 feet until the end of your turn.
Additionally, you gain resistance to poison damage, and whenever you kill a creature with a spell of 1st-level or higher you regain one use of your Diabolism feature.
Transcend Mortality
At 8th level, you attain a portion of the power of a true fiend. You gain resistance to fire damage and immunity to poison damage, and cannot have your alignment altered as a result of remaining in one of the Lower Planes.

If your game uses Grim Hollow rules, from this moment on you may undergo the transformation into a fiend whenever you wish.
Dirgesinger
Prerequisites
- Current level: 5th or higher
- Skills: Religion, Performance
- Ability Scores: Cha 13
- Class: At least 3 levels in bard
Prestige Class Description
Dirgesingers' voice melodies not of celebration and joy, but of sorrow and grief. They seek to spread this melancholy outlook far and wide, believing that only those who give in to their sadness can truly understand the world.
Dirgesingers hold high positions in death-obsessed cultures. Serving as members of a secret guild or as part of a hierarchy of death priests, they are entrusted with the serious responsibility of composing suitable laments for the dead. The more important the deceased, the more sorrowful and moving her lament is expected to be. No one will remember the dead queen in a few short generations, but a great lament might be sung a thousand years hence.

You know two songs, and learn more as you level up in this class.
Additional Magical Secrets
At 5th level, you learn two spells of your choice from any class. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table(treat your dirgesinger levels as bard levels), or a cantrip. The chosen spells count as bard spells for you but don't count against the number of bard spells you know.
Dirge Songs
If a song requires an enemy to make a saving throw, the DC of that saving throw is equal to 8 + your Charisma modifier + a roll of your Bardic Inspiration die.
Song of Horror
Creatures of your choice within 15 feet of you that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they become frightened of you until the start of your next turn.
Song of Awakening
A corpse of a Medium or Small humanoid or a pile of bones within 30 feet of you comes to life, animated as though affected by the danse macabre spell. Your spellcasting ability for this is Charisma, and it does not require concentration. You may have a maximum number of undead under your control in this manner equal to half your proficiency bonus(rounded up).
Song of Bolstering
Undead creatures of your choice within 30 feet that can hear you gain a +4 bonus to saving throws against being charmed or frightened.
Song of Sorrow

A master of radiance can emanate an aura of brilliant light that weakens undead creatures. As a bonus action, you can envelop yourself in an aura of radiance. For 1 minute, or until you dismiss the effect as a bonus action, you shed bright light in a 30-foot radius, and dim light for another 30 feet. The radius of bright light is considered sunlight.
Undead creatures within the bright light suffer a -2 penalty to attack rolls, ability checks and saving throws unless they have a CR higher than your level.
Additionally, when you cast a spell that deals radiant damage or creates bright light while this aura is in effect, increase your spell save DC by 2 for the casting of that spell.
You can use this feature a number of times as indicated in the class table above, and regain all expended uses when you complete a long rest.
Searing Light
At 2nd level, you can devastate your foes with bursts of holy radiance. As an action, you can make a ranged spell attack against a target within 60 feet. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 + your Wisdom modifier radiant damage, and it sheds bright light out to a radius of 5 feet and dim light for another 5 feet until the start of your next turn.
The damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level(3d6), 11th level(4d6) and 17th level(5d6). This refers to character level, not class level.
Beam of Sunlight
At 5th level, you gain one final weapon against the darkness. While your Radiant Aura is active, you can cast moonbeam at will, and when you do so the area of the spell is considered sunlight.

Rebuke Undead
Starting at 1st level when you choose this prestige class, you learn to ward your body and mind against the forces you intend to work with.
When you cast protection from evil and good, you can cast the spell as a bonus action and without requiring concentration provided that you are the target of the spell.
Summon Undead
At 2nd level, you learn the basic tools of your trade. As an action, you can call upon a spirit to aid you in battle. When you do so, a shadow appears in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you that you can see.
The shadow is friendly to you and your companions. In combat, the shadow acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you 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 rendered unconscious, the shadow ceases to be under your control and becomes hostile to all creatures.
You can have one spirit active at any one time. Using this feature again banishes the previous spirit, unless it is no longer under your control.
As you gain levels in this class, more options become available to you. At 4th level, you may choose to instead summon a specter. At 6th level, you may choose a wraith, at 8th level you may choose a deathlock wight and at 10th level you may choose a deathlock.
You can summon a spirit once, and cannot do so again until you finish a long rest unless you expend a spell slot of a level equal to the chosen spirit's CR(minimum of 1st-level) to do so.
Spirit Bond
Beginning at 3rd level, your connection to your spirit grants it increased vitality. When you summon your spirit, its hit point maximum increases by an amount equal to your level in this prestige class.
Extra Attack
Starting at 5th level, you can make two attacks when you take the Attack action on your turn, instead of one. When you take the Attack action, you can forgo one attack to let your spirit make one additional attack when it takes the Attack or Multiattack action.
Spirit Bond Improvement
At 9th level, your connection to your spirit improves again. While you are within 30 feet of your spirit, you both gain advantage on Constitution and Charisma saving throws.

They belong to a loose-knit order affiliated with the church of Pelor (or another similar faith), though they disdain hierarchical bureaucracy in favor of action and forthrightness. Many pursue an “act first, ask questions later” approach, which occasionally frustrates the more traditionalminded clerics in the church’s chain of command.

Positive Energy Flood
At 5th level, you can draw power directly from the Positive Energy Plane to wash over friend and foe alike, protecting the pure and rebuking the monstrous.
As an action, you can summon power from the Positive Energy Plane.

Instead of choosing one oil to apply to you, you can select two randomly.
The effects of each oil last until the end of your next long rest.

Darkling Weapon
At 2nd level, you learn to imbue your weapons with black magic. As part of a short or long rest, you can channel your power into a weapon you are proficient with. The weapon becomes enchanted as though affected by a magic weapon spell, although it does not require concentration. The effect lasts until you use this feature again. Your spellcasting ability for this feature is Charisma, and the spell is cast at a level equal to 1 + half your level in this class.
Black Magic Elixir
Starting at 3rd level, you learn to craft dark magical oils that heighten your senses. As part of a long rest, you can expend 5 gp worth of materials to create one of the following elixirs of your choice, or two chosen randomly:
1d8 | Elixir Name | Effect | Duration |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Aura of Evil | Enemies within 10 feet of the drinker suffer a penalty to damage rolls equal to half your Charisma modifier. | 1d4 x 10 minutes |
2 | Inner Hellpower | The drinker's weapon attacks deal additional fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier. | 1 minute |
3 | Dark Senses | The drinker gains tremorsense to a range of 60 feet. | 2d6 x 10 minutes |
4 | Saddle-Draught | The drinker is immune to effects that would knock them off their mount. | 1d4 hours |

7 | Demonic Wings | The drinker gains a flying speed of 30 feet as dark spectral wings manifest on their back | 1 minute |
8 | Iron Cage | The drinker can roll three dice instead of two when making a grapple check with advantage, and chooses the highest result. | 2d4 x 10 minutes |
A creature can use a bonus action to drink an elixir, gaining the benefits listed for the duration. The elixir can be used for 24 hours, after which it spoils and no longer confers any benefits.
You may expend 10 additional gp worth of materials per day to extend the potion's usefulness by additional 24-hour periods, to a maximum number of days equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier.
You can make one additional elixir as part of the same long rest when you reach 5th and 7th level.
Extra Attack
Starting at 5th level, you can make two attacks when you take the Attack action on your turn, instead of one. Additionally, you can drink one of your elixirs as an object interaction instead of a bonus action.
Scarred Flesh
At 8th level, your flesh is hardened by constant use of oils and some of the magic within it simply will not leave. Choose one effect of your oils. That effect applies to you permanently in addition to all other oils you use, and cannot be removed by any means.

Blind Justiciar
At 1st level, your connection to the Warrior-Saint has granted you the ability to see through the imbalance of both order and chaos. Whenever you would normally make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw with advantage, you can choose to twist the scales of reality. Roll three d12's. The die roll result equals the sum of the two highest d12 rolls. You cannot critically hit when you do this unless affected by a rule that would cause you to score a critical hit automatically(such as Assassinate or the target being paralyzed).
Treasures of Past Ages
At 6th level, your Pact object or familiar is granted power from the Warrior-Saint. You gain one of the following benefits depending on your Pact Boon feature. This feature may be used twice, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Pact of the Armor. You can use your reaction on your turn to immediately don your pact armor.
Pact of the Blade. Whenever you are targeted with a spell while wielding your Pact weapon, you can use your reaction to make a Charisma saving throw against the caster's spell save DC. If you succeed, the caster must choose a different valid target or lose the spell. This does not protect you from spells that target an area, like fireball.
Pact of the Cloak. When you are selected as the target of an attack, you can use your reaction to command your cloak to shield you, adding your proficiency bonus to your AC against the attack.
Pact of the Chain. At the start of your turn or at the start of your familiar's turn, you can use your reaction to magically teleport, switching places with your familiar or moving one of you to a location within 5 feet of the other.
Pact of the Dreams. When you fail a saving throw against an effect that would cause you to become charmed or frightened, you can use your reaction to re-roll the save. You must use the new result.
Pact of the Doll. When a creature would provoke an opportunity attack from you, you can instead use your reaction to mark it with your pact doll.
Pact of the Eye. When a creature enters a space within 30 feet of you that you can see, you can use your reaction to force it to make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take radiant damage equal to your warlock level.
Pact of the Mark. When you use your Pact of the Mark feature to regain a spell slot, you can spend a number of hit dice up to your proficiency bonus to regain hit points.
Pact of the Mask. You can expend a use of this feature to use your Pact of the Mark feature without expending one of its uses.
Pact of the Ring. You can summon your pact ring as a reaction.
Pact of the Tome. If you are the target of an attack, you can use your reaction to cast a spell or cantrip with a range of "self" before the result of the attack is revealed. If you would no longer be a valid target for the attack, the attack is wasted.
Pact of the Tools. You can use your reaction when making a check with your tools to add triple your proficiency bonus to the result instead of double.
Hands of the Saint
Starting at 10th level, two ethereal arms of the Warrior-Saint manifest from your back at your whim. You can only benefit from items held in two of your arms at any one time, and can switch which two arms you are benefiting from once per turn(no action required). Additionally, you can use your Blind Justiciar feature when making a Strength saving throw if you do not have disadvantage, causing the Saint's ethereal hands to aid your efforts. Once you do this, you can't do so again until after the start of your next turn.
Knowledge is Power
At 14th level, your patron grants you increased mastery over your weaker spells. When you finish a long rest, choose 3 spells of 3rd level or lower that you know. You can cast them as 3rd level spells without expending a spell slot. Once you cast three times using this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Poisoned Mind
When you forge this pact at 1st level, your patron teaches you the first lie ever told. You gain proficiency in the Deception skill, and your proficiency bonus is doubled when you make a Deception check. Additionally, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier whenever you make a Deception skill check while you are not in combat.
Also, when you cast a spell of 1st level or higher than affects one or more hostile creatures, you can use your bonus action to force one of the targets of the spell to make a Constitution saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. If the creature fails, it is poisoned until the end of your next turn.
A Touch on the Web
At 6th level, you learn to summon the slaves of the Weaver to extract vengeance. Whenever you take damage from a melee attack, you can use your reaction to summon a horde of spiders to cover your attacker, biting and tearing into them. The target takes magical piercing damage equal to your warlock level and must make a Constitution saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. If they fail, they are poisoned for one minute. While they are poisoned, they are also frightened of you. They can repeat their saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effects on a success.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Additionally, whenever you cast web, you can summon additional spiders equal to the level of the spell slot you used. These spiders follow your commands in the same manner as spiders summoned by the conjure animals spell, but cannot leave the area of the web. They disappear when the spell ends. If the spell becomes permanent, they cease to be under your control.
Trickster's Dance
Starting at 10th level, you can deceive even the fabric of reality. You can't suffer disadvantage on saving throws.
Additionally, you can cast mislead without expending a spell slot. Once you do so, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
Sinful Puppeteer
Starting at 14th level, your blood flows with poison and your hands dance upon a loom of false spidersilk. You gain immunity to poison damage and the poisoned condition. Additionally, you can cast dominate monster at will. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw becomes immune to this effect for 24 hours.

Barbarian: Path of the Accursed
The Lurking Fear
Starting at 3rd level, you learn the Marauder's Horror Rage Power, which does not count towards your maximum Rage Powers known. Additionally, you gain access to the subclass-specific Rage Powers below and can learn them. You can also use Charisma in place of Intelligence whenever you make an ability check.
Marauder's Horror
Activation: 1 bonus action
Rage Cost: 1
Effect: For the next minute, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage, as well as damage dealt by frightened creatures, and you can add your Rage Damage Bonus to all weapon damage rolls you make that use Strength, and you also gain advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
Additionally, each creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. Once a creature fails this saving throw, it can't be frightened by this feature again for one minute.
Augment: If you expend 2 Rages, the save DC increases by 2.
From Beyond
Starting at 6th level, your words seem to cut at the minds of those who listen even more horribly than before. You can cast dark secret and accursed wish once each, and you regain the ability to use each when you expend any amount of Rage. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
The Thing on the Doorstep
At 10th level, your hallucinations slowly enter reality, as the dark tendrils of the Silent One move at the corners of your vision. Whenever you use a Rage Power, you can choose to unleash the horrors that dwell within your mind upon the world. Choose a number of creatures within 30 feet of you equal to or less than your Charisma modifier. Each one is pulled to an open space within 5 feet of you, or the nearest available space, by massive tendrils that spawn from the air around you. Until the end of your turn, when the tendrils disappear, you cannot suffer disadvantage from any source on any check made to grapple one of these creatures.
What The Moon Brings
At 14th level, you finally accept the things you learned within the Archive and realize that the ruinous secrets it unleashes upon the world are merely the statements of a truth that mankind has long dreaded to learn. The Silent Ones are not villains, but are guardians, destined to safeguard the universe from those who would exploit the foul heresies of the Accursed Archive, and so you begin your preparations to join their ranks.
Whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you can choose to allow a Silent One to lash out from within your skin, ensnaring another unwary soul and twisting their flesh from its good purpose. Choose a creature within 30 feet of you. The target must make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your own Strength (Athletics) check. If the target fails, the tendril snares them and drags them into the closest open space near you, and the creature gains one level of exhaustion. A creature cannot be affected by this feature more than once per turn.
Paralyzing Fear
Activation: 1 action
Rage Cost: 2
Effect: You unleash pure madness in a 30-foot cone originating from you. All frightened creatures within range must make a Wisdom saving throw with disadvantage(DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or become paralyzed until the start of your next turn.
Augment: If you expend 3 Rages, the save DC increases by 2 and the size of the cone increases by 5 feet.
Psychic Backlash
Activation: 1 reaction, which you can take when you are reduced to half your hit point maximum or less by a melee attack or a spell
Rage Cost: 1
Effect: The creature that dealt damage to you must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw(DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or take 7d6 psychic damage. On a successful saving throw, it takes half as much damage.
Barbarian: Path of the Mercurial
Cheshire Grin
Starting at 3rd level, you learn the Marauder's Flop Rage Power, which does not count towards your maximum Rage Powers known. Additionally, you gain access to the subclass-specific Rage Powers below and can learn them.
Marauder's Flop
Activation: 1 bonus action
Rage Cost: 1
Effect: For the next minute, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage, you can add your Rage Damage Bonus to all weapon damage rolls you make that use Strength, and you also gain advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
Additionally, when you use your Reckless Attack feature, shadows begin to writhe around your form until the start of your next turn. If you take damage from an attack during this time, you can use your reaction to move up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks and you become invisible to your attacker until the start of your next turn.
Once during the duration of this effect, you can choose a creature within 30 feet that can see you(no action required). The target must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). If they fail, they can't speak or cast spells for 1 minute, and they lose concentration on active spells as their face contorts and twists into a cruel smile. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the effect ends.
Augment: If you expend 2 Rages, the movement increases to half your movement speed and you can use the third part of the feature twice during the effect's duration. You cannot do so more than once per turn.
Down the Rabbit Hole
At 6th level, you learn to journey through terrible shadow, though it fills you with a wicked madness. When you use a Rage Power, you can teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied location you can see, and while your Marauder's Flop is active, you can do so again whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points.
Looming Shadow
Starting at 10th level, your unique perspective grants you control over the scope and scale of things. You can cast enlarge/reduce at will, without requiring concentration, and can do so even if a Rage Power would prevent you from casting spells. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
All That Remains
Starting at 14th level, when you use the reaction provided by your Marauder's Flop, you can choose to have your wicked smile hang in midair, fully visible. You still gain the benefits of invisibility against your attacker, but now each creature within 15 feet of you who can see your grin, including your attacker, must make a Wisdom saving throw(DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). If a creature fails, they are enraged by your taunting grin and must attack you with a weapon or spell attack before the end of their next turn or take psychic damage equal to your barbarian level. If their first attack misses, they take half as much damage. Creatures immune to the charmed condition are unaffected.
Kitty Says Sleep
Activation: 1 action
Rage Cost: 1
Effect: Roll 5d12; the total is how many hit points of creatures this Rage Power can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within 60 feet are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures).
Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this Rage Power falls unconscious for 1 minute, until the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. Subtract each creature's hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature's hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected.
Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren't affected by this Rage Power.
Augment: If you expend 2 or more Rages, roll an extra 2d12 per Rage spent above 1.

Black Sky Song
Also at 3rd level, you learn the hymn that calls a fraction of the attention of your Lord to your plane. As a bonus action, you can expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration to sing a grim song of pain and triumph. Hostile creatures within 10 feet of you must make a Charisma saving throw against your bard spell save DC. If they fail, they are afflicted with a feeling of horrible insignificance. The first time they are hit by an attack before the start of your next turn, they are knocked prone and take lightning damage equal to the number rolled on your Bardic Inspiration die. If the target fails its saving throw by 5 or more, it instead takes twice as much damage and is knocked prone.
Thunderstruck
Starting at 6th level, you are wreathed in graceful winds that accentuate your movements and strike down your enemies. You gain resistance to thunder and lightning damage. You are permanently under the effects of the feather fall spell, and your jumping height increases by a number of feet equal to twice your bard level. During your turn, you can choose to make a single jump that does not provoke opportunity attacks if the destination is within 10 feet of a hostile creature. Whenever you descend more than 10 feet during your turn, the first weapon attack you make before the end of your turn deals an extra 1d10 thunder damage and pushes the target 5 feet away from you.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Whenever you score a critical hit with a weapon attack, you regain one use of your Bardic Inspiration feature.
The Unfallen Kingdom
At 14th level, your soul has ascended to touch the paradise that lies within the eye of the Storm Lord. You gain immunity to the frightened condition. When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead and gain advantage on all attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end of the encounter. At the start of your next turn, allied creatures within 30 feet of you can use their reaction to join you with a defiant war cry. If they do, they also gain these advantages until the end of their next turn.
You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.
Golden Suit. As a bonus action, you can use your Channel Divinity to coat yourself in shining gold for 1 hour. You gain temporary hit points equal to twice your paladin level for the duration. Whenever a creature hits you with a melee attack while you have these hit points, gold sprays off your armor, causing the creature to take 1d10 fire damage and suffer disadvantage on their next attack before the start of their next turn.
Hired Help. As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to summon a simple magical construct for one hour. This construct has the statistics of a clockwork dragon. It follows your verbal commands and is friendly to you and your companions. If it dies or the duration expires, it fades into mist.
Aura of Investment
Starting at 7th level, you are surrounded by a 10-foot aura of mutual benefit. Whenever you or a friendly creature gain temporary hit points while within the aura, all other friendly creatures within the aura (including you) gain an equal amount of temporary hit points that last for the same duration. This effect cannot cause a creature to gain more than twice your Charisma modifier in temporary hit points at once.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Rate of Exchange
Starting at 15th level, once per turn when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can attempt to steal an object or weapon from the target.

Spiritual Curse
At 3rd level, the spirit of the beast you slew begins to awaken within you, gradually seeking to drive you to the ravenous urges of a wild animal. Your Strength score becomes 16, unless it was higher.
Whenever you take the Attack action, you can choose to make feral attacks in place of your normal attacks if you have at least one free hand. Strength is your ability score for a feral attack. When you do this, the spiritual claws of the beast within manifest around your arm as you strike a creature within your reach. Make an attack roll. If you hit, the target takes slashing damage equal to 1d12 + your Strength modifier. You can choose to use your bonus action to make an additional feral attack if at least one feral attack you've made during your turn hits a creature.
Whenever you kill a creature with a feral attack, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Ranger level + your Constitution modifier.
Cold Iron

Dark Hunter.
You ignore disadvantage on Perception checks caused by dim lighting.
Flawless Pursuit.
Whenever a hostile creature you can see takes the Dash action, you can use your reaction to move up to your speed towards them, even while mounted.
Hunting Blind.
You can create an area of artificial camouflage up to 10 feet in each dimension for yourself and your allies over the course of 1 minute. While within, you gain advantage on Stealth checks and cannot be detected by scent.
Winter's Might.
You can add your Strength modifier to your AC in place of your Dexterity modifier, and you can use your Strength modifier when making attacks with ranged weapons. This does not allow you to surpass the normal limits of an armor's AC value.
Rend Asunder
At 7th level, your feral attacks are able to tear the enemy apart with even greater efficiency. The damage dice of your feral attacks become 2d8, and when you make an attack with them using your bonus action you can make an additional attack with them as part of the same bonus action.
Hunter's Call
Starting at 11th level, once per turn when you hit with a weapon attack as part of the Attack action, you can force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, it becomes frightened of you until the start of your next turn. If you hit a frightened creature with an attack as part of the Attack action, you can make one additional weapon attack as part of that action.
Lord of the Beast Within
At 15th level, you learn to bind the spirit within you more fully, forcing it to obey your whims and mastering the predatory instinct within you. You can now always make an additional feral attack using your bonus action, even if you haven't taken the Attack action. Additionally, you gain advantage on all Perception checks.

*They are eyes, and they are hungry.*With a gesture, you summon three flaming wolves made from ash and metal into your space. When you cast this spell, and as an action on each of your turns while it is in effect, you can choose a point within 60 feet of you. When you do, one of the flaming wolves rushes to the target point, and then seeks out the nearest creature within 30 feet of it, making a melee spell attack using your spell attack modifier. If the attack hits, the target takes 4d10 fire damage and must make a Strength saving throw. If the target fails, they are knocked prone. The flaming wolf then immediately returns to your space, coiling around your feet. The wolves have an AC equal to your spell save DC.

The freezing cold of the desert night compares favorably to the burning sunlight.

Each creature in a line 5 feet wide and 120 feet long must make a Dexterity saving throw, starting with the creature closest to you. The spell impacts the first creature in the line that fails their saving throw, inflicting 3d8 cold damage. If all targets succeed, the projectile continues in a straight line until it impacts a surface. Once the projectile impacts something or reaches the end of the line, it detonates in a blast of fire. All objects and creatures within 10 feet of the detonation take 2d8 fire damage, and unattended flammable objects are ignited.

There are nightmares that cannot be slain with fire, only truth.
You infuse yourself with dark energies and corporeal shadow, twisting your form into a terrible caricature. Until the spell ends, you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks, and you are heavily obscured. While you are under the effects of this spell, you can move through spaces as small as one square inch without squeezing. While in this form, you cannot take actions other than the Attack action.

- Duration: 24 hours
Beyond the world, there are things that wait and things that watch. Call to them, greet them, and invite them in. Beware, for they may accept your invitation.
You invoke the power of the Alrisen whose token you bear to transform an area around you. The area can be as small as a 30-foot cube or as large as 120-foot cube. If you can cast this spell in the same area every day for a year, the spell lasts until dispelled.
The spell creates the following effects within the area. When you cast this spell, you can specify creatures as friends who are immune to the effects. Creatures that have been marked by the Alrisen whose token you have used are also immune to the effects, as are creatures who you choose to allow at the time of their entry.
The entire lair pulses with eldritch power. Dispel magic cast on the area removes only one of the following effects if it succeeds, not the entire area. That spell's caster chooses which effect to end. Only when all its effects are gone is this spell dispelled.
- Difficult Terrain. You can fill any number of 5-foot squares on the ground with difficult terrain. This terrain appears in a manner fitting for the Alrisen, such as the grasping hands of the dead, eerie tentacles, burning stakes of wood, or semisolid bars of radiant light. The obstacles move aside for and close behind creatures that are immune to this effect.
- Otherwordly Inscriptions. You can fill any number of 5-foot squares on the ground that aren't filled with difficult terrain with murals, runes, scratchings, etchings, or other sigils. A creature that steps on a sigil takes 1d6 damage of a type fitting to the Alrisen patron, as the defensive magic unleashes scorching fire, chilling ocean water, radiant energy, or the cruel necrotic power of the grave. To a creature immune to this effect, the inscriptions whisper in eerie voices or recount the stories of heroes from distant worlds.
- Eldritch Servants. You can call forth up to eight servants from the Alrisen whose token you've used to cast the spell. These servants are the potential familiars listed for warlocks of the Alrisen of your choice who've chosen the Pact of the Chain feature. If any creature not immune to this effect enters the warded area, the eldritch servants fight until they have drive off or slain the intruders. The servants also obey your spoken commands (no action required by you) that you issue while in the area. If you don't give them commands and no intruders are present, the servants do nothing other than patrol and dwell within the lair. The servants can't leave the otherworldly lair. When the spell ends, they disappear.
- Deadly Trap. Choose one spell that you can cast with a duration of "Instantaneous" that deals damage and has a casting time of one action or bonus action. You can decide on a trap that will cause the spell to be cast, triggering when a creature takes an action that you specify when you create the lair, such as touching a certain object or speaking a certain phrase. Once the trap triggers, it cannot do so again until at least one hour has passed.

PART 8
Exploration
![](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a0/9d/97/a09d97da2a3adf3c7c745e16489e700b.jpg)
Exploration Rules for CoS - wandering through the Svalich Woods
The purpose of this document is to provide a number of encounters for PCs wandering through the Svalich Woods for whatever reason - not just the road, but going deep into the forest. It might be for a quest, or it might be a plan to evade some encounter on the road. Perhaps there is something out there... something they intend to take down.
Exploration in the Woods
The Svalich Woods are a dark place, where the rays of the weakened sun can rarely shine. Dark things fester beneath the leaves, and many eyes watch in wait, eager to catch any adventurer not careful where they step...
The following segment assumes you are running ventures into the woods as a hex crawl. Divide the area of the forest into hexes(due to the woods' size, mapping out the entire area in this manner is unadivsable - you may wish to stick to preparing smaller locations at any given time), with each hex having a side-to-side length of 200 feet.
When the PCs enter a hex, roll on the Terrain Features table below to determine what they find. While they are within 2 hexes of the edge of the woods, roll the d100 with disadvantage.
1d100 | Terrain Feature |
---|---|
1-50 | Woodland Terrain |
51-60 | Site of Slaughter |
61-80 | Natural Obstacle |
81-90 | Monstrous Lair |
91-95 | Malefic Aura |
96-00 | Roll twice on this table, ignoring duplicate results and further rolls of 96-00 |
Each feature has specific rules and a subtype, as defined later.
Exploration Actions
When located within a hex, a group of creatures may take Exploration Actions. A group of creatures travelling simultaneously can take a total of one action. Moving between hexes takes 1 minute, or 30 seconds if the creatures are able to move unimpeded, such as by flight.
The Exploration Actions a creature can take are featured below:
Scout
Go ahead and search. Tear down the veil of mystery and perceive what the mists would conceal.
One creature in the group must make a DC 13 Wisdom(Survival) check. On a success, they can select one adjacent hex the group is able to reach. Reveal the description of this hex to them. If any effects would trigger upon entry, they are not triggered until the creatures declare they enter the hex.
Move Stealthily
The horrors of the night stalk the woods. Pray you do not fall into their claws.
The group moves at 1/2 its normal pace, careful not to alert any hostile creatures. Until another action is taken, rolls made to determine whether or not a random encounter occurs are made with disadvantage.
If the group enters a hex containing other creatures, they can make Dexterity(Stealth) checks against those creatures' passive Perception to avoid being spotted automatically.
Provoke
Those things that haunt your nightmares... those eyes in the dark... you have had enough. Draw your sword and show them you have no fear.
The group attempts to draw the attention of nearby enemies. For the next 1d4 minutes, any rolls to determine whether a random encounter occurs on their hex or an adjacent hex are made with advantage.
If the group performs this action in a specific manner to provoke one type of creature(such as a troll), and such a creature is within 1 hex of the group, any random encounters have a 25% chance of including it additionally to the normal enemies.
Make Haste
The enemy will not linger far behind for long. Flight is your only hope to see the accursed dawn again.
The group attempts to move swiftly through the forest. They travel at twice their normal pace. During this time, they make Wisdom(Perception) checks and Dexterity(Stealth) checks with disadvantage, and any random encounters they face with a random number of creatures counts each die roll as 1 higher(for example, 3d6 wolves would become 3d6+3 wolves).
Terrain Features
The Svalich Woods contain a wide variety of dangerous locations guaranteed to bring even the bravest of heroes to their inevitable end. The features described here represent the most common things a party may experience when travelling through these haunted lands.
Woodland Terrain
The trees here look old, their trunks gnarled and twisted. Lichen grow in abundance, and patches of moss cover a vast expanse of soil. The forest floor is dimly lit, and the cracks in the leafy ceiling allow the radiance of day to penetrate the darkness revealing plants - some familiar and others bizarre and new.
This is the normal state of the woods. No unique death traps for the party, no monstrous creatures in the shadows.
d10 | Subtype |
---|---|
1-7 | Standard Forest |
8 | A Curious Plant |
9 | Animal Carcass |
10 | Abandoned Wares |
Standard Forest
The area contains mundane plants containing a total of 4d12 berries. A DC 10 Intelligence(Nature) or Wisdom(Survival) check made by one creature in the group allows them to gather half the berries in the area. All can be gathered with a successful DC 15 Intelligence(Nature) or Wisdom(Survival) check.
A Curious Plant
As above, except there is also one unique plant, which can be found on a successful DC 17 Intelligence(Nature) or Wisdom(Survival) check. Its leaves have unique properties, which become apparent upon submerging them in boiling water for 10 minutes:
d4 | Effect |
---|---|
1 | The water functions as a potion of healing, with each plant providing enough ingredients to make one such potion. |
2 | The water functions as a potion of watchful rest, with each plant providing enough ingredients for one such potion. |
3 | The water functions as an oil of slipperiness, with each plant providing half the necessary ingredients for one such potion. |
4 | The water functions as a philter of love, with each plant providing 1/10 the necessary ingredients for one such potion. |
Animal Carcass
Amid the chaos of the undergrowth, one shape in particular casts a large shadow on the surrounding area. The buzzing of flies and the charnel stench you have grown so used to alerts you to the presence of a dead animal, now decaying on the forest floor.
The creature has been dead for approximately 1d4 days. Roll on the chart to determine what type of corpse it is.
d8 | Creature Type |
---|---|
1-4 | Deer |
5 | Wild dog |
6 | Elk |
7 | Brown bear |
8 | Wolf |
Abandoned Wares
The earth has not yet fully claimed the remains of scattered equipment, presumably belonging to the long-lost dead.
A successful DC 13 Wisdom(Perception) check yields loot as per the table below. Each item has a 25% chance of being lodged in the soil, requiring a DC 15 Strength(Athletics) check to pull free.
d3 | Item(s) |
---|---|
1 | 1d6 javelins and a shortsword |
2 | 1d12 arrows or bolts and a shattered helmet(broken in 1d4 pieces) |
3 | 1d3 longswords and 1d6 skulls |
Encounter Table
When the PCs enter this area, roll a d20. Encounters occur on a 19-20.
d12 | Encounter |
---|---|
1-4 | 1d6 wolves |
5-7 | 1 brown bear |
8 | 3d6 wolves |
9 | 1 dire wolf and 3d6 wolves |
10 | 4d4 skeletons |
11 | d4+3 ghouls |
12 | 1 banshee and 2d10 skeletons |
Site of Slaughter
The echoes of a great disaster linger here still, a stain upon the air. The ground is littered with the bodies of the slain, and the thin rays of sunlight from above no longer seem as hopeful as they once did.
This place is marked by scattered corpses. The nature of the bodies will vary depending on the subtype.
d10 | Subtype |
---|---|
1-7 | Nature's Way |
8-9 | Cult Sacrifice |
10 | The Count's Hunt |
Nature's Way
Dead animals bear the markings of claws. These are the fallen who failed the tests of life and succumbed to nature's will.
This area contains 4d6 slain animals. They were killed by predators, most likely wolves. A DC 10 Wisdom(Survival) check or a DC 10 Intelligence(Nature) check determines the type of creature that killed them.
d4 | Predator |
---|---|
1 | Wolves |
2 | Giant spiders |
3 | Bears |
4 | Undead |
Cult Sacrifice
Upon a crude stone altar lays a pile of bodies, their faces frozen in expressions of agony and terror. Limbs and organs lie scattered around them, and the place exudes an aura of menace.
This area contains the corpses of 1d3 humanoids. Their organs have been removed from their bodies through gaping, bleeding wounds. There is a 25% chance their hearts were half-eaten as a cult practice(roll once for all).
If an encounter in this place includes any cultists, there is a 75% chance of one additional bulezau or shadow demon being present as well.
The Count's Hunt
The exsanguinated corpses of several humanoids are scattered across this space. Some have decomposed already, others are fresh, as though they had been killed the night before.
These people were prisoners of war - enemies of Strahd taken captive and later released into the woods, their minds shattered beyond repair, to be hunted for sport by the Count's favorite vampire spawn. Those that provided the most entertainment were revived with revivify and taken back for another round, then another... until at last they break.
Encounter Table
When the PCs enter this area, roll a d20. Encounters occur on a 17-20.
d12 | Encounter |
---|---|
1-3 | 3d6 wolves and 1 dire wolf |
4-5 | 6d6 giant wolf spiders |
6 | 2 gloomstalkers |
7-9 | 2d6 cultists and 1 cult fanatic |
10-11 | 1d3 nothics and 2d10 skeletons |
12 | 1d4-1 vampire spawn and 1d6 ghouls |
Humanoid Loot Table
If humanoid corpses are encountered in this area, the PCs can search them with a DC 10 Intelligence(Investigation) check. On a failure, they find half the loot(rounded down).
2d6 | Loot |
---|---|
2 | 1d8 gp |
3 | 2d6 gp |
4 | 2d8+4 gp and 4d4 cp |
5 | 3d6+6 gp and 2 scimitars |
6 | 1 gothic trinket and 2d6 arrows |
7 | 1 gothic trinket |
8 | 3d8+8 gp and 1 gothic trinket |
9 | 1d12 daggers and 1 longbow |
10 | 1 chain shirt |
11-12 | 2 chain shirts |
Natural Obstacle
As you enter this area, you find the path ahead is blocked by some natural phenomena. You will have to find a way around it - or across it.
The land itself seemingly conspires against the party, throwing a barrier in their path. These can take many forms, but do not look unnatural by the standards of this dark land. There may be nothing to fear...
d8 | Subtype |
---|---|
1-3 | Stones and Steep Hills |
4-6 | Pool |
7 | Ravine |
8 | Swampy Ground |
Stones and Steep Hills
Large rocks stand in your path, and the ground rises and falls around you. It looks as though whatever god designed this land was hoping to create mountains instead.
The entire area is considered difficult terrain. Some elevations may be more challenging to reach, requiring a DC 10 Strength(Athletics) check to scale.
Pool
Water in the forest, at last. A rare sight for the weary traveller, should you dare to risk it...
The PCs have found a small pool of water. It is 2d10 feet deep, and has a 15% chance of being clear, drinkable water. Otherwise, it is filthy, and a creature that drinks of it must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1d4 hours.
There is a 1% chance the pool is instead magical. A creature that drinks the water of such a pool gains advantage on saving throws against becoming charmed or frightened for the next hour.
Ravine
A wound in the earth stretches out before your eyes, carving deep into the bones of the earth. You can only imagine what dark and horrible things gnaw the world at its roots.
The path is split by a chasm. There is a 10% chance this ravine is so deep its bottom cannot be seen from the surface.
Depending on its width, different means may be required to cross it. If the ravine is narrow enough, a simple jump(perhaps requiring a DC 10 Strength(Athletics) check) will suffice. Other chasms may be too perilous to attempt such a move, and will require other means, such as moving around it or flying over it.
Swampy Ground
The ground beneath your feet is less solid, and the splashing of water accompanies your footsteps as you cross this marshland.
This terrain is significantly more difficult to hide in. Creatures take a -5 penalty to Dexterity(Stealth) checks that rely on sound if they make contact with the ground. Additionally, the ground here is difficult terrain.
Encounter Table
When the PCs enter this area, roll a d20. Encounters occur on a 19-20.
d12 | Encounter |
---|---|
1-3 | 2 cockatrices and 2d4 harpies |
4-5 | 1 ankheg |
6 | 1 basilisk |
7-9 | 1d6+1 cave fishers |
10-11 | 3 phase spiders |
12 | 3d6 boneless |
Monstrous Lair
The bodies of those who came before you would have made it obvious even if you had not noticed the other signs. Something foul and mighty has made its home here...
You have stumbled upon the lair of a group of monsters, or perhaps a single monstrosity. The nightmares of this forest have caught up with you at last.
d6+d10 | Subtype |
---|---|
2-5 | Cave of Horror |
6-9 | Spider's Web |
10 | Deranged Cult |
11-13 | Trolls |
14 | The Outcast |
15 | Wights' Lair |
16 | Feast for the Ghouls |
Cave of Horror
The screeching of terrible beasts echoes from within this cave, and the squeaking of bats fills your ears.
This place is home to a pack of 1d4+2 gloomstalkers(Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, page 291). Creatures like giant bats and stirges can often be found in the cave as well. Example populations have been provided on the table below.
d8 | Creatures |
---|---|
1-4 | 2d8 giant bats, 3 stirges, 1d4+2 gloomstalkers |
5-7 | 2d12 giant bats, 3 stirges, 1d4 swarms of bats and 1d4+2 gloomstalkers |
8 | 6d6 giant bats, 3d4 stirges, 1d10 swarms of bats and 2d4+2 gloomstalkers |
Spider's Web
Sticky webs have been woven around the trees, and the clicking of mandibles is all you can hear. Large, dark shapes move above you, and your eyes quickly spot animals caught in the webs - deer, wolves, even the occasional bear. Some of them are still barely moving.
This hex is filled with massive nonmagical webs that mostly function like those created by the web spell(DC 13, you may wish to raise or lower this on a case-by-case basis). They are, in other places, stable enough for a creature to walk on.
Each 5-foot cube of webs has AC 10 and 10 hit points, and has resistance to piercing damage.
The table below can be used to determine the number of spiders in the colony.
d12 | Creatures |
---|---|
1-3 | 2d10 +5 giant wolf spiders, 2d3 swarms of spiders and 2d6 giant spiders |
4-7 | 2d10+10 giant wolf spiders, 2d4+1 swarms of spiders and 2d8 giant spiders |
8-9 | 8d6 giant wolf spiders, 2d6+2 swarms of spiders and 3d10 giant spiders |
10 | 10d6 giant wolf spiders, 3d6+3 swarms of spiders and 4d10 giant spiders |
11 | 10d6 giant wolf spiders, 3d6+3 swarms of spiders, 4d10 giant spiders and 2d6 flying giant spiders |
12 | 10d6 giant wolf spiders, 3d6+3 swarms of spiders and 4d10 giant spiders, 2d6 flying giant spiders and 3 phase spiders |
Deranged Cult
Equipment lies scattered here, and bloodstained knives can be found in the grass. Crude totems stand many feet apart.
This hex is occupied by a cult dedicated to a monstrous creature. Roll on the table below to determine what type of malevolent thing commands these fanatics:
d6 | Creature |
---|---|
1 | Necrichor |
2 | Nosferatu |
3 | Priest of Osybus |
4 | Elder oblex |
5 | Deathlock |
6 | Deathlock mastermind |
A typical cult consists of 10-15 cultists and 1 or 2 cult fanatics. They may all be present, but more often than not a part of the group will be elsewhere.
Trolls
Giant footsteps echo nearby. There is a troll here!
The PCs have discovered a crude encampment populated by 1d3+1 trolls. The trolls feed on the local wildlife, including the rare unfortunate travellers who venture too deep into the forest. There is a 30% chance the trolls have additional support:
2d10 | Additional creatures |
---|---|
2-4 | 1 rot troll |
5-8 | 1 basilisk |
9-12 | 1 manticore |
13-17 | 5 wolves |
18-20 | 1d4 giant vultures |
The Outcast
Claw marks on the trees, tracks of a giant wolf... you know what it must be. You know what's coming, but is it already too late to run?
The area is the lair of a lone werewolf. The bones of its previous prey litter the forest floor, and its tracks lead in circles - a deliberate attempt to confuse its targets. Many werewolves assume command of a pack of 3d6 wolves.
Wights' Lair
You find yourselves before the entrance to a cave, the entrance to which is guarded by zombies. The dead do not rest easily, it would seem.
The PCs have found a cave containing the lair of wights, or similar creatures. Roll on the table below to determine what lurks within...
d6 | Creatures |
---|---|
1 | 2d10 skeletons, 2d6 zombies and 1 wight |
2 | 3d8 zombies and 1d4 wights |
3 | 3d10 zombies, 4d6 skeletons and 1d4 wights |
4 | 6d8 zombies, 4d8 skeletons, 1d6 wights and a sword wraith warrior |
5 | 7d6 zombies, 2d4 boneless, 1d6 wights, 2 sword wraith warriors and a sword wraith commander |
6 | 7d6 zombies, 2d4 boneless, 1d6 wights, 2 sword wraith warriors, 1 zombie clot or ghost and a sword wraith commander |
Feast for the Ghouls
Piles of bones lie scattered across this gruesome landscape, and amid the scattered remains of countless creatures the guttural growl of ghouls can be heard. The undead rule here, not the higher class of aristocratic vampires but snarling packs of perpetually hungry monsters.
Piles of bones, stripped of all flesh, lay scattered here. This hex is filled with such crude structures. Patches of land where these remains are more common count as difficult terrain, and the largest piles provide half cover to a Medium creature behind them.
Packs of hunting ghouls prowl the area. Roll a d20 to see if an encounter happens every minute. An attack occurs on a roll of 18 or higher. Add 1 to the roll for every previous failure, and subtract 2 on each success. If the PCs leave the area, the modifier is reduced by 1 every hour until it reaches 0. Consult the following table to determine the attacking creatures:
d12+d8 | Creatures |
---|---|
2-5 | 2d4+2 ghouls |
6-9 | 2d6 +3 ghouls |
10-12 | 3d4 ghouls and 2d6 zombies |
13 | 5 ghouls and 1d6 ogre zombies |
14-16 | 3d6 ghouls and 2 ghasts |
17 | 2d6 ghouls and 3 shadows |
18 | 1 banshee and 4 skeletons |
19 | 1 ghast, 3 boneless and 3 skeletons |
20 | 1 nosferatu and 2d3 strigoi(maximum of one such group per Monstrous Lair) |
A note on encounters
With the exception of Feast for the Ghouls, the tables above are intended to provide the entire population of a hex. Unless your party is highly experienced, it is unadvisable to throw the entire group at them at the same time.
As your party reaches higher levels, there is a chance they will be more powerful than they were before, and you may want to ignore this advice.
Malefic Aura
The very ground here feels wrong, corrupted to its core. Your footsteps feel uneasy, and your senses are overwhelmed by warnings - you should not linger here, that much is clear.
Through some ill twist of fate, you have entered an area where the land itself is wrong. Patches of cursed soil bearing the marks of... something.
d6 | Subtype |
---|---|
1 | Fleshy Ground |
2 | Sinister Shadows |
3-4 | Restless Gravesite |
5 | Chains of Iron |
6 | Land of Fear |
Fleshy Ground
The wrongness of the earth manifests itself in the very soil. Patches of dirt stand out among - no, you realize. Not dirt. Embedded in the ground are chunks of human flesh, vibrating as though they were alive.
Characters that step into a pile of flesh treat the area as difficult terrain, as the wobbly matter threatens to throw them off balance or gives way under their feet with bloody splashes.
This blood is not considered blood for any rules purposes; it is something else entirely.
Sinister Shadows
Dark shapes move in the fog, spheres of blackness wandering around the landscape, their movement seemingly random.
The strange shapes are Medium or Large areas of magical darkness. Like the darkness spell, they cannot be seen through using normal darkvision, but other means(like blindsight and the Devil's Sight invocation) will work.
The shapes cease to exist when exposed to magical light from a spell cast at 3rd-level or higher.
A creature that enters one of the shapes for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there takes 1d6 cold damage and must make a Wisdom saving throw, becoming restrained and taking 1d6 psychic damage on a failure. It can repeat this saving throw at the start of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success and being forced out into an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the shape.
Encounters here occur on a d20 roll of 16-20.
2d6 | Encounter |
---|---|
2-6 | 1d4+1 shadows |
7-8 | 2d6 shadows and 3 skeletons |
9-10 | 3d6 shadows |
11 | 4d6 shadows and 1 shadow assassin |
12 | 2 shadow assassins and 3 shadows |
Restless Gravesite
Nothing seems out of the ordinary to your eyes, but your gut feeling that something is wrong refuses to leave you.
Rests cannot be taken in this hex. Additionally, any Medium or Small creature that dies in this hex rises as a zombie or skeleton if its corpse remains in the area for 1 hour. Its size remains the same in this new form. If killed within the hex, such a creature repeats the process and rises once again after 1 hour. Casting a spell that restores a dead creature to life brings back the creature's soul, with time spent as an undead counting towards the spell's time limit(if any).
Encounters happen here on a d20 roll of 19-20.
2d4 | Encounter |
---|---|
2 | 3d6 skeletons |
3 | 3d6 zombies |
4-5 | 2 skeletal swarms |
6-7 | 3 skeletal swarms |
8 | 3 zombie clots |
Chains of Iron
Metal chains burst from the earth, and the ground is covered in broken links.
The chains stretch across the hex, mostly buried underground. If a creature moves within 5 feet of a chain, it splits and attempts to wind itself around the creature's body before fastening shut again. The creature must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or become restrained until the chain is pried open. If the saving throw is failed by 5 or less, it may use its action on its next turn to make a DC 17 Strength(Athletics) or Dexterity(Acrobatics) check, freeing itself on a success.
Each 5-foot segment of a chain has AC 16 and 25 hit points, as well as resistance to damage from nonmagical weapons. It regains 1 hit point at initiative count 20 each round, and never ceases to heal even when dropped below 0. If a segment is reduced to 0 hit points, all creatures trapped by it are no longer restrained, and it cannot attempt to restrain another creature on its next turn.
A chain segment not connected to another segment is unable to act, and can be safely picked up by a creature. The chain will grow a new segment to replace it over the course of 1d6 hours.
Such an isolated chain segment cannot form new chains, nor can it regain its ability to take actions.
A DC 20 Dexterity(Smith's tools) check allows a creature to turn a chain segment into a weapon resembling a whip, with the following properties.
Chain Lash
Martial melee weapon
2d10 piercing damage, reach, finesse
Land of Fear
Cold winds blow through the woods, and ominous whispers fill your ears. The air itself seems to vibrate, and you feel as though something was crawling on your face.
The trees look ill here, their trunks gnarled and twisted unnaturally. What little can be seen of the sky above seems to give off an eerie radiance.
- Dark Whispers. For every minute they spend in this area, creatures other than aberrations must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they take 1d10 psychic damage.
- Warped Magic. Any spellcaster attempting to cast a spell in the hex(other than a cantrip) must make a spellcasting ability check against a DC of 8 + the spell's level. On a failure, the spell fails and the slot is wasted. Conjuration spells that fail instead cause the caster to summon a Tiny fragment of cold black stone.
- Call of the Void. Aberrations in the area gain advantage on saving throws.
The Woods and the Mists
Fog. An ever-present fact of life in this accursed realm, and a problem many adventurers have had to face. In the forest, it is all too easy to lose your way.
If a group is travelling through fog, chances are high they will lose their way. Though rare, there exist several paths through the forest, and a party wise enough to stick to them is more likely to return home alive.
Determining Fog Intensity
If you wish to determine the weather randomly, the following table presents an option to do so.
d10 | Fog Intensity | Navigation Penalty | |
---|---|---|---|
1-4 | Low; no adverse effects | - | |
5-9 | Moderate; area is lightly obscured | -2 | |
10 | High; area is heavily obscured | -5 |
A group attempting to travel through an area obscured by fog must select one of their number to make a DC 10 Wisdom(Survival) check, modified by the navigation penalty in the table above. On a success, they move to the next hex as desired. On a failure, they instead move to a randomly determined hex.
Travelling on a path or road guarantees success on this check while you remain on it.
Ah, Barovia... land of my dreams, never change. I hope to visit someday.

Warforged
Age.
A typical warforged is between two and thirty years old. The maximum warforged lifespan remains a mystery; so far, warforged have shown no signs of deterioration due to age. You are immune to magical aging effects.
Alignment.
Most warforged take comfort in order and discipline, tending toward law and neutrality. But some have absorbed the morality, or lack thereof, of the beings with which they served.
Size.
Your size is Medium.

You were created to have remarkable fortitude, represented by the following benefits:
- You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.

- You are immune to disease.
- You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.
Sentry's Rest.
When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn't render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.
Integrated Protection.
Your body has built-in protective layers, which determine your Armor Class. You gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a shield, you apply its bonus as normal.
You can alter your body to enter different defensive modes; each time you finish a long rest, choose one mode to adopt from the Integrated Protection table, provided you meet the mode's prerequisite.
Integrated protection
Mode | Prerequisite | Armor Class |
---|---|---|
Darkwood core (unarmored) | None | 11 + your Dexterity modifier (add proficiency bonus if proficient with light armor) |

Brawler Protocol
Your unarmed strikes do 2d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage on a hit. Additionally, you count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift, as well as the maximum size of a creature you can grapple. Costs 4 points.
Missile Silo
You have between 2 and 6 charges. When you take the Attack action, you can replace one attack with a missile salvo. Choose a point you can see within 120 feet and expend any number of charges up to your proficiency bonus. All creatures within 5 feet of that point must make a Dexterity saving throw(DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus), taking 1d6 + your Constitution modifier fire damage per charge expended on a failure, or half as much on a success. Costs 2 points per charge, and you must purchase an even number of charges.
Magnetic Lock
When you would be moved against your will or knocked prone, you can use your reaction to root yourself in place. Your speed becomes 0 until the end of your next turn, but you ignore the effect and gain a +5 bonus to saving throws against effects that would move you or knock you prone until the end of your next turn. This trait cannot be used while your feet are not touching a solid surface. Costs 4 points.
Quickened Repair
You can use a bonus action to expend one Hit Die and regain hit points as though you were taking a short rest. Costs 3 points.

You have a cannon built into one of your arms(choose which one). You can use an action to fire the cannon, making a ranged weapon attack using your Constitution modifier.

You add your Constitution modifier to this damage roll. Your hand on the arm with the cannon must be free in order for you to use this trait. You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a short or long rest. You can purchase this trait a maximum of twice, choosing a different arm each time. Costs 5 points.
PART 11
Dark Gifts
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4c/22/80/4c22805ddbab7fa4ae3e3f72c23e8652.jpg)
Dark Gifts
The following section is an addition to the Dark Gifts presented in Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, and can be obtained in the same manner.
Skulking Nightmare
For some reason, you are able to evade detection when you need to, becoming as unnoticeable as a faint shadow in the corner of someone's eye for a brief moment, and your foes barely notice your presence before you strike them down.
Shadow Stalker. You can cast the invisibility spell, requiring no spell slot, and you must finish a long rest before you can cast it this way again. Your spellcasting ability for this spell is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (your choice when you gain this Dark Gift). If you have spell slots of 2nd level or higher, you can cast this spell with them.
Unnaturally Agile. As a bonus action, you can enhance your agility with magic. For 1 minute, your Dexterity score becomes equal to your highest ability score. If Dexterity is your highest score, it increases by 2 for 1 minute. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
Revealed by the Light. When you start your turn in bright light and are hidden or invisible, you must make a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or cease to be hidden and suppress the effect making you invisible until you leave the bright light.
Tied to the Mists
Your soul is tethered to the Mists, bound to Ravenloft in a manner similar to that of the Darklords, although hope still remains for you. You are doomed to wander them, hardly able to leave. However, your connection also allows you to sense the power binding people and places to this dreadful realm.
Dark Awareness. While conscious, you are always aware whether or not the Darklord of the domain you are currently in is within 5 miles of you, though this does not reveal their identity or their exact location. This awareness typically presents itself as a pervasive sense of wrongness.
Mist Eyes. As a bonus action, you can call upon the power of your Dark Gift to help you see in the mists. For 1 minute, or until you are blinded or incapacitated, when looking into areas heavily obscured by fog you instead treat them as lightly obscured. You can use this trait twice, and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Claimed Soul. If you die, and the last creature to deal damage to you was an aberration, you cannot be brought back to life by spells of 6th level or lower.
Alien Thoughts
Your thoughts are invaded by an alien presence, which provides suggestions on topics that no mortal should know.
Ancient Secrets. When you make an Arcana check, your alien thoughts provide a horrible new perspective on reality. You can choose to suffer a number of d4 of psychic damage up to your proficiency bonus. For every d4 of damage you take in this way, add 1 to the result of the check.
Whispers of the Eldritch. You learn three additional spells on your class's spell list, which do not count against your maximum spells known. If your class allows you to prepare spells, this has no effect on that class. If you are multiclassed, you can choose one class for this feature to apply to, but all spells must be chosen from that class's list. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace one of these spells with a different spell on the same class's spell list.
Psychic Agony. Whenever you roll a 1 on the d20 when you make a saving throw against an effect that deals psychic damage, the saving throw is failed regardless of whether or not it would have otherwise succeeded and you take an additional 1d6 psychic damage. This effect does not prevent Legendary Resistance or similar features from changing the saving throw into a success.
Bestial Appearance
You transform, your limbs covering themselves in fur and your hands growing claws.
Natural Weapons. You gain natural weapons in the form of claws. Your claws do slashing damage on a hit equal to 1d3 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier, or 1d8 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier at night, and have the finesse and brutal 1 property. At night, they gain the finesse and brutal 2 property instead.
Monstrous Benefits. Your Strength score increases by 2, to a minimum of 16. Additionally, you gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed, and are considered adapted to cold climates.
Desire for Flesh. If you roll Hit Dice to regain hit points as part of a short rest, you only regain half the amount rolled unless you consume raw flesh as part of the rest.
Soul Skin
Your spirit weakens, sacrificing its strength to sustain your body. You become tougher, but your willpower wanes.
Corporeal Enhancement. Your Constitution score increases by 2.
Will-Driven Regeneration. You can cast cure wounds without expending a spell slot or components a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain the ability to do so upon completing a long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Diminished Spirit. Whenever you are reduced to 0 hit points, you have disadvantage on the first death saving throw you make.
Dark Speech
You learn to speak Dark Speech, the unholy tongue of evil known from such works as the Book of Vile Darkness.
Curse Enemy. As an action, you can speak in this most vile language, cursing a target that can hear you. You take 1d12 necrotic damage, and the target takes 3d6 psychic damage as the words cause damage to its sanity. If the result of this damage roll is 18, it also becomes vulnerable to psychic damage for 1 minute.
Terrible Knowledge is Terrible Power. When someone attempts to use Dark Speech against you, you can make a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw to resist its effects. If you used Curse Enemy at least once since the end of your last long rest, you gain a +4 bonus to this saving throw.
Weaken Object. As an action, you can choose a single nonmagical object that you can see within 15 feet and speak words in Dark Speech. The object's AC is halved until the start of your next turn. The stress of using this feature deals 1d10 psychic damage to you.
Command Vermin. As an action, you can speak Dark Speech to cast suggestion, requiring neither a spell slot nor material or somatic components. When you do so, you can only target any swarm of CR 2 or lower, and the target is affected even if it is immune to the charmed condition. You do not have a spellcasting ability for this feature - instead, the DC is equal to 10 + your level. The stress of using this feature is incredibly taxing, and every time you use it you suffer a -1d4 penalty to your Constitution score, which lasts until the end of your next long rest.
Monstrous Deformity
You are driven to acts of self-mutilation, scarring your flesh with dark rituals to enhance your corporeal form with foul might. This often takes the form of sharpened claws, hideous faces and similar.
Choose any number of the following deformities:
- Clawed Hands. Your unarmed strike deals 1d6 slashing damage instead of 1 bludgeoning, and creatures that you deal damage to with your claws cannot make opportunity attacks until the start of your next turn. Your hands gain sharp claws.
- Eyes. You drill a hole in your head trying to add a third eye, or deform one of your existing eyes. You can cast see invisibility once, and regain the ability to do so when you complete a short or long rest. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell. While this deformity remains, you suffer a -2 penalty to Perception and Investigation checks.
- Face. You have a hideous face. You gain a +2 bonus to Intimidation checks, as well as Persuasion checks made to interact with evil creatures, but suffer a -2 penalty to Charisma checks made to interact with non-evil creatures(excluding checks made as part of a spell).
- Morbidly Obese/Gaunt. Increase your Constitution or Dexterity by 2, and reduce the other by 2, to a minimum of 1. If you choose to increase Constitution, your weight doubles. If you choose to increase Dexterity, your weight is halved and you gain a +2 bonus to Sleight of Hand and Acrobatics checks.
The negative side effects of this Dark Gift persist after you cease to possess it, and can only be removed by a regenerate spell or similar magic.
Slayer of Undead
Your Dark Gift causes you to ignite with fury when facing undead, a hatred that some could even call madness. You will not rest while the dead terrorize the living.
Undead Resistance. You can add half your proficiency bonus to any saving throw you make against an effect caused by an undead creature.
Unyielding Vitality. You are immune to effects that would reduce your ability scores against your will if they are caused by undead.
Even in Death, Defy the Monster. Your corpse cannot be animated as an undead.

Orc Black Knight
Elite warriors among their kin, black knights are the mighty shock troops of orc raiding parties. The monstrous equivalent to humanity's paladins, they have been the bane of numerous attack groups sent from Brudiam Hold to regain control of Tyraag Pass.
A Lifetime of War
Black knights live for the thrill of battle alone. They swear oaths to the orc pantheon, vowing to reap lives and lead on the battlefield by example. Orc priests frequently augment their offensive prowess through the use of spells like bless, so as to let them fulfil their quests.

Vampire Brute
The dark masters of the Blood Plains have little time to dirty their hands with the slaughter of less important targets. Where a vampire spawn's might would not suffice, and brute force is the answer, the vampire brutes are deployed.
Terrors of the Dark
The spawn of the vampires? Here, in our lands? - King Dulvai II
What these abominations are bred from is unknown. They are spawned in the Blood Plains, where they roam the lands of their vampiric overlords. Owning one is a sign of prestige, the mark of the elite in undead society.
They often attack alone, seldom fighting in units of multiple brutes. Their preferred tactic is a series of repeated charges intended to knock the target down for ease of mauling.
Breaking the Leash
And yet they still believe that by killing my officers, they become safe... - High Lord Arvai
When its master dies, a vampire brute rages out of control. After what is on average a week of uncontrolled bloodlust, it embraces its new freedom and seeks out new lands to inhabit.
Vampire brutes without a master hate caverns, and will head towards a forest if at all possible. They hide from the sun, though it does not hinder them as much as it does vampires.
Abominable Hunters
While vampire brutes hate the company of their own kind, they often hunt alongside other wild beasts, especially wolves. The animals in its environment tend to give it a wide berth, leaving flesh after each hunt as a gesture of fealty.
Only the strongest packs can earn the monster's respect enough to be left alone, and as such wolf packs in the area where such a thing has made its lair often include multiple dire wolves.
I want one. Very much. I'd name it Bingus.

Pounce. If the vampire brute moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a slam attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 14 (4d6) damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. The vampire brute can make a bite attack against a prone creature as a bonus action.
Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the vampire brute has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Blood Frenzy. The vampire brute has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points.
Regeneration. The vampire brute regains 10 hit points at the start of each of its turns. If it takes radiant damage, this trait doesn't function until the end of its next turn.

Slam. +8 to hit, melee weapon attack, reach 5ft, one target. Hit: 12(2d6+5) bludgeoning damage.
Bite. +8 to hit, melee weapon attack, reach 5ft, one target. Hit: 16(2d10+5) piercing damage plus 7(2d6) necrotic damage, and the target must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken until it finishes a short or long rest and the vampire brute gains as many temporary hit points.
Devastating Charge(Recharge 5-6). The vampire brute moves up to its speed in a straight line. When doing so, it can move through the spaces of smaller creatures, and creatures it moves over must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or take 7(2d6) bludgeoning damage, or half as much on a success. At the end of this move, it can make one slam attack.
Leap(Recharge 5-6). The vampire brute jumps up to 30 feet and slams into the ground. All creatures within 10 feet of it must then make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10(3d6) bludgeoning damage on a failure or half as much on a success.
Regeneration Surge(1/day). The vampire brute increases its regeneration to 20 hit points for 1d4 rounds. It can only use this action if it is below half its hit point maximum.
Dryad Priestess
The most powerful among the dryads have learned to strengthen their connection to nature, becoming powerful spellcasters to rival the great human mages.
Springs of Natural Might
It is said that the denizens of the woods know best where to seek its blessings, and those who know the secret grow mighty indeed.
Whatever this process the dryad priestesses undergo is, it leaves them changed. They gain the ability to command the world itself, animating plants to strike against the enemies of their groves.

Magic Resistance. The dryad has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Speak with Beasts and Plants. The dryad can communicate with beasts and plants as if they shared a language.
Tree Stride. Once on her turn, the dryad can use 10 feet of her movement to step magically into one living tree within her reach and emerge from a second living tree within 60 feet of the first tree, appearing in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the second tree. Both trees must be large or bigger.
Actions

Claw. +6 to hit, melee weapon attack, reach 5ft, one target. Hit: 5(1d6+2) slashing damage. On a critical hit, a splinter of wood gets lodged in the target's flesh, dealing 1d6 piercing damage at the start of each of the target's turns until it is removed. Removing the splinter takes an action.
Staff. +7 to hit, melee weapon attack, reach 5ft, one target. Hit: 7(1d8+3) bludgeoning damage.
Forest Crawler
The abominable product of the Outer Dark's influence on wildlife, forest crawlers are a cross between a biped and an arthropod. They act like their eight-legged brethren, though they hunt for larger prey - deer, cattle, wolves and humanoids.
Hellish Mass of Limbs
A forest crawler has two main arms and two legs, as well as two to three lesser arms which it uses to climb trees and slash creatures. In combat, this proves to be a major difficulty for even the more experienced duelists, who are quite often overwhelmed by the beasts.
Solitude
Forest crawlers live alone in parts of forests with a large spider population. They seldom mate, and when they do their offspring do not survive long - as the mutation that creates forest crawlers is supernatural, not genetic, their spawn do not inherit their monstrous nature and fall victim to the adult crawlers' bloodlust.
Nice argument, but L + ratio + I am on your ceiling + no spooder.

Abhorrent Maw
At times, a necromancer will attempt to raise an undead army only to find the cemetery they wish to plunder is missing the required body parts. In such situations, they sometimes choose to fuse what parts they have and make an abhorrent maw.
Undead War Machines
If all else fails, find a bigger corpse. - Takhax the necromancer
Abhorrent maws frequently find use as the elite muscle of an undead horde. They are expensive to replace, requiring the resources of an entire cemetery to replace, and as such their masters are loathe to send them into battles they are unlikely to win.
When they are deployed, abhorrent maws are typically sent in pairs, rarely in groups of three. The presence of a lone maw suggests that the necromancer does not possess any more.
Corpse Artillery
They have a siege monster! - the defenders of an unknown town
Abhorrent maws' large stature makes them ideal for mounting cannons and the like. Typically, a maw used for this purpose will have one cannon embedded in its skin. This weapon fires skulls stored within its flesh, and the mouths on its skin can be used to toss in additional ammunition when needed.

Outer Voice
The Outer Dark's influence on the Material Plane is often gruesome. Living beings become warped and changed to an extent where one cannot call them alive in the same way anymore. Sanity gets replaced with... something unimaginable.
Servants of the Lords Outside
I have seen... things I do not wish to see again. I have given up my sanity and my destiny, and done things I do not wish to think of in the name of my master. My only consolation is the fact that soon I, and this entire cult, will be dead, and my sacrifice will have liberated thousands. - Grand Marshal Sillon
The entities far beyond the borders of existence do not enter the Material Plane. When they wish that their will be known, they convey cryptic messages through their minions. The Outer Voices are the elite servants through whom these unfathomable beings speak. Vessels of arcane might as well as forbidden knowledge, their allegiance is prized greatly by almost any cult.

Dread Cobra
The dark caves of the world hold many secrets, and their shadowy depths are often best left unexplored. In the caverns below the earth, where the sun does not shine, lurks a particularly vile monstrosity - the dread cobra.
Habitat
There's a monster for every environment. - Blazing Star Academy student's handbook
Dread cobras live in caves, preferring ones with multiple openings that reach the surface. They avoid the sun, though it does not hinder them, and frequently dwell near water.
Dread cobras are highly territorial, and will not stand the presence of other powerful entities in their lair. Any creature of Huge size or greater, as well as any creature of CR 9 or above, is likely to incur the beast's wrath and provoke violence. They particularly enjoy ripping apart hydras.
Combat
In combat, a dread cobra seeks to dominate its foe with as little physical effort as possible. Its powerful innate spellcasting abilities allow it to call forth servants from thin air, a trait further enhanced by mental domination effects that leave their targets vulnerable to mass attacks.
When it enters melee combat, it doesn't want to stay there for long - it seeks to swiftly restrain a single enemy and retreat, isolating it from its allies for an easy kill.
Against groups of enemies, it may employ its terrifying hiss or spit venom from its fangs - both tactics are known to be very crippling.
Advice for running this as a DM
Remember that movement forced by command provokes opportunity attacks. The goal is to chain large amounts of damage via this and conjure animals. PCs are not monsters and aren't deadlier in melee - unless fighting barbarians, go in and grapple, but don't linger long.Take the Hide action, fear the casters, and do not hesitate to retreat when the fight goes south. This monster does not understand the concept of fighting to the death. Bear in mind that it knows magic and can figure out which spellcaster is the biggest threat.
Don't worry if you don't manage to use all its cool features in one fight - that happens very often. Remember that fights seldom last more than 3-4 rounds.
Cultural Significance
The beast is slain. I have done as you asked, Master. Have I earned my place yet? - an unknown paladin
Many civilizations, humans in particular, place significance on the act of defeating a monstrous enemy. Paladin Orders use it as a rite of passage, average soldiers can expect a hero's welcome back home after the battle, and a spellcaster calls it Tuesday.
As mighty enemies by the standards of a veteran soldier, dread cobras are often sought out by glory-seeking or insane champions - some of them even survive the encounter, although those are rare.
Cults
For every hideous abomination in this forsaken world, there are a thousand people willing to serve it. - Grand Marshal Sillon
Future cultists are drawn to these monsters for several reasons:
- Cults formerly dedicated to a monster in the area seek out a new master
- The cultists may not be actual worshippers but murderers seeking payment for their service in poison(extracted from the monster's glands)
- Misguided soothsayers predict a many-faced creature will save their town(most likely a metaphor taken too literally), and some people just don't stop to think
- Am yuan-ti cultist, see fellow snek, be happy, kill people

Natural Adaptation. The Dread Cobra can hold its breath for up to one hour.
Biting Frenzy. When targeting a creature that is grappled or restrained, the Dread Cobra scores a critical hit on a roll of 18-20.
Evasion. If the Dread Cobra is forced to make a Dexterity saving throw against an effect that would deal half damage on a success, it instead takes half damage on a failure and none on a success.
Innate Spellcasting. The Dread Cobra's spellcasting ability is Charisma(Save DC 17). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components:
At will: command(treat the Dread Cobra as knowing all languages)
1/day each: cloudkill, conjure animals(summons giant poisonous snakes)
Legendary Resistance(2/day). If the Dread Cobra fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Multiple Heads. The Dread Cobra has advantage on saving throws against effects that would cause it to be charmed, frightened, stunned, blinded, deafened or unconscious.
Actions
Multiattack. The Dread Cobra makes three bite attacks and one tail attack.
Bite. +12 to hit, melee weapon attack, reach 5ft, one target. Hit: 18(2d10+7) piercing damage and the target must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or take 7(2d6) poison damage and become poisoned for 1 minute. If the target succeeds on the saving throw, it takes half damage and is not poisoned.
Tail. +12 to hit, melee weapon attack, reach 15ft, one target. Hit: 17(3d6+7) piercing damage plus 7(2d6) poison damage and the target is grappled(escape DC 20). While grappled in this way, a creature is restrained and the Dread Cobra cannot grapple another target.
Intimidating Hiss(1/day). The Dread Cobra hisses angrily and rears up, forcing all creatures of its choice within 30 feet of it that can see it to make a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a target becomes frightened of the Dread Cobra for 1 minute. While frightened by this ability, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from the Dread Cobra by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move.
Each affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Venomous Hiss(Recharge 5-6). The Dread Cobra exhales venom in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 35(10d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Spring. The Dread Cobra jumps up to 60 feet. Opportunity attacks made as a result of this movement are made with disadvantage, and upon landing the Dread Cobra can make one bite attack with advantage as a bonus action. If this attack hits, it deals an additional 16(3d10) piercing damage.
Slink Back. The Dread Cobra moves up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks, and can take the Hide action as a bonus action this turn. It can only use this action while below half its hit point maximum.
Reactions
Revenge of the Pack. As a reaction upon taking damage from an attack or effect caused by another creature(such as a spell), the Dread Cobra can command a number of allies with a combined CR equal to its Charisma modifier. The chosen creatures can immediately use their reaction to move up to half their speed and make one melee weapon attack against the attacker.
Shade Tyrant
The hellish legions of the netherworlds of the multiverse are populated by nightmares of various shapes. Shade tyrants are one such form of entity - neither devil nor demon, they are a third party in the endless struggles in the infernal realms.
Summoning
When conjured by mortals, shade tyrants will only accept service as payment for their assistance. No amount of money will sway them, and magic items would have to be powerful indeed to garner their attention.
Shade Tyrants and Mortals
Shade tyrants prefer mortal servants to other fiends and bestow blessings on those they deem worthy. The elite among their champions receive the honour of joining their masters' infernal courts in the Black Abyss or any other domain where they may reside.
Gifts bestowed by these creatures often take the form of spellwrought tattoos of 1st-level, very rarely 2nd-level.
A Shade Tyrant's Lair
Shade tyrants make their strongholds in mountainous terrain, typically in the form of a single keep surrounded by lesser structures. Symetrically placed towers are a common aesthetic.
Lair Actions
While within its lair, a shade tyrant can choose to have one of the following effects take place on initiative count 20. The same effect cannot occur twice in a row.
- The shade tyrant selects one creature of its choice within the lair. If the creature is willing, it is immediately teleported up to 60 feet in a direction of the shade tyrant's choice.
- Geysers of black ichor shoot out of the ground in 1d6 points of the shade tyrant's choice that it can see. Each geyser is a 5-foot-wide, 10-foot-tall cylinder. A creature in the area must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, it is thrown 10 feet into the air.
- The shade tyrant chooses one undead or fiend of CR 1/2 or lower within 30 feet of it that is not hostile to it. The creature dies instantly, and the shade tyrant can immediately roll one Hit Die to heal itself.

The lore compiled by my predecessors is severely lacking, and it seems that my inferiors have forgotten to explain what made the non-magical warriors of the universe competent. If we are to believe my predecessors, the world is unable to exist. Seriously, Tasha had to be high on drugs when she wrote about gravity.
Xanathar was the most competent of the lot since he actually did his research, but even he forgot the martials. Thus, I have decided to take a long vacation from my position as Head Instructor of Battle Magic at Blazing Comet in order to compile a textbook of war. I hope you find this document useful.
