Heroes and Villains of Abbeorht
Mortals are the most versatile creatures that inhabit the world of Abbeorht, as they can adapt, change and assume new and different ways of living, adapt to new surroundings and completely change their way of living for survival and a better future.
This is also true for those exemplary mortals that become so skillful and powerful that develop a "class", according to their knowledge and natural abilities. A class is an archetype of character that reunites a series of abilities (named features) that those who follow said class eventually learn or develop, becoming ever stronger as they continue gaining experience and power. This experience is reflected as "levels" for characters. All characters start at 1st level of one class, and continue gaining levels in that or any other class of their chose.
The world of Abbeorht has 15 classes, which are themselves further divided into more than 260 "subclasses", archetypes or specializations that differentiate characters as they gain different abilities, unique to them that members of other subclasses will hardly imitate.
Most characters can only have a single subclass, as it often is associated with the origin of their abilities or the way they have focused their training, making it impossible to follow two different paths, and almost impossible for all to eventually change their subclass, with the exception of warlocks.
Each class can fulfill different roles, some of them can cover all of them, but will never do it effectively, as each character will incline itself to a specific kind of play. The world of Abbeorht requires cooperation to survive, and lone wolfs or wannabe uber people quickly dies alone: This hostile world requires cooperation from different adventurers to even hope to hardly survive in the long run.

Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- (a) any two simple weapons or (b) any two martial weapons (if proficient)
- (a) a light crossbow and 20 bolts or (b) a caplock and 20 bullets
- A small shield
- (a) reinforced leather, (b) lamellar or (c) hauberk (if proficient)
- Any set of artisan's tools
- thieves’ tools, tinker's tools and a dungeoneer’s pack
Spellcasting
You've studied the workings of magic and how to cast spells, channeling the magic through objects. To observers, you appear to produce wonders from mundane items and outlandish inventions instead of magic.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the artificer spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional artificer can trips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Artificer table.
When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer cantrips you know with another cantrip from the artificer spell list.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Artificer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your artificer spells. To cast one of your artificer 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 artificer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the artificer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of artificer spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your artificer 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 artificer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence 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 lst-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 artificer spells requires time spent tinkering with your spellcasting focuses: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your artificer spells; your understanding of the theory behind magic allows you to wield these spells with superior skill. You use your Intelligence whenever an artificer spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an artificer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC
Spell attack modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast an artificer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You produce your artificer spell effects through any artisan's tools with which you have proficiency for your artificer spells.
Artificer Specialist
At 1st level, you begin your inventive career adopting one of the 16 known specializations for artificers. Your choice grants you features again at 5th, 9th and 15th level.
Magical Tinkering
At 2nd level, you've learned how to invest a spark of magic into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice:
![](https://static0.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/DD-Artificer-Creating-Potion.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=963&h=481&dpr=1.5)
- The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
- Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.
- The object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.
- A static visual effect (like a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like) appears on one of the object's surfaces.
The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.
You can bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). If you exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.
The Right Tool for the Job
At 2nd level, you've learned how to produce exactly the tool you need: with a set of tinker's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.
Infuse Item
At 3rd level, you've gained the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions, turning those objects into magic items.
Infusions Known
You learn 3 artificer infusions of your choice. You learn additional infusions of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Infusions Known column of the Artificer table.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer infusions you learned with a new one.
Artificer Infusions
Artificer infusions are wonderful processes that rapidly imbue magic into nonmagical object. The description of each infusion details the type of object that can receive it, as well as if the resulting magic item requires attunement.
Some infusions specify a minimum artificer level. You can't learn such an infusion until you are at least that level. Unless an infusion's description says otherwise, you can't learn an infusion more than once.
Infusing an Item
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a nonmagical object and imbue it with one of your artificer infusions, turning it into a magic item. An infusion works on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusion's description. If the item requires attunement, you can attune yourself to it as you infuse the item. If you don't attune to it during the infusion process, you or any other creature can attune to it during a short rest if they expend at least 30 minutes with said item.
Your infusion remains in an item indefinitely, but if you die, the infusion vanishes after a number of days equal to your Artificer level. The infusion also vanishes if you replace your knowledge of the infusion.
You can infuse more than one nonmagical object at the end of a long rest, according to the Infused Items column of the Artificer table. You must touch each of the objects, and each of your infusions can be in only one object at a time, and no object can bear more than one of your infusions at a time.
If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion ends, and then the new infusion applies.
If an infusion ends on an item that contains other things, like a bag of holding, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space.
Mystical Feedback
Also starting 3rd level, you've learned to draw energy from the items you're attuned to. During a short rest, you can work with your tinker's tools on all of your attuned items for at least 10 minutes, regaining expended artificer spell slots equal to the number of items you're attuned to (or half your artificer level rounded up, whichever is lower).
For example, if you're a 5th-level artificer with 3 attuned magical items, you can recover up to three levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level and a 1st-level spell slot or three 1st-level spell slots.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Tool Expertise
At 6th level, your proficiency bonus is now doubled for any ability check you make that uses any set of artisan tools you're proficient with.
Flash of Genius
At 7th level, you can come up with swift, creative and effective solutions rapidly even under pressure.
![](https://www.wargamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/dnd-artificer-5e-class-features.jpg)
When you or another creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an ability check or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to add your Intelligence modifier to the roll.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Magic Item Mastery
When you reach 10th level, you achieve a profound understanding of how to use and make magic items:
- You can attune to one additional magical item at once. You can attune to one additional of these items at 14th and 18th artificer level.
- If you craft a magic item with a rarity of common or uncommon, the cost and time required to craft it is halved. This benefit extends to rare items at 14th level and very rare items at 18th artificer level.
Tool Mastery
Starting 11th level, you can infuse any artisan tool that you use. These artisan tools gain a +1 to all checks using them to create or modify items If they aren't already magical.
This bonus increases to +2 at 17th Artificer level.
Spell-Storing Item
At 13th level, you can now store a spell in an object. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one simple or martial weapon or one item that you can use as a spellcasting focus, and you store a spell in it, choosing a lst- or 2nd-level spell from the artificer spell list that requires 1 action to cast (you needn't have it prepared).
While holding the object, a creature can take an action to produce the spell's effect from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier. If the spell requires concentration, the creature must concentrate. The spell stays in the object until it's been used a number of times equal to twice your Intelligence modifier (minimum of twice) or until you use this feature again to store a spell in an object.
Soul of Artifice
At 20th level, you develop a mystical connection to your magic items, which you can draw on for protection. Now, if you're reduced to 0 hit points but not killed out-right, you can use your reaction to destroy one of your artificer infusions, causing you to drop to 1 hit point instead of 0.
Also, you can now change a number of your infused items up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) after a short rest if you work at least 5 minutes per item. You can immediately attune to them as normal.
Finally, your Spell-Storing Item feature now can also infuse any 3rd-level spell abiding to the same limitations of the feature.
Artificer Infusions
The following options in alphabetical order are available for artificers to learn. If an infusion has an specific requirement, you cannot chose it until you have met them.
Arcane Propulsion Armor
Prerequisite: 14th-level artificer
Item: A suit of armor (requires attunement)
The wearer of this armor gains these benefits:
- If the wearer is missing any limbs, the armor replaces those limbs - hands, arms, feet, legs, or similar appendages. The replacements function identically to the body parts they replace.
- The armor includes gauntlets, each of which is a magic melee weapon that can be wielded only when the hand is holding nothing. The wearer is proficient with the gauntlets, and each one deals 1d8 force damage on a hit and has the thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. When thrown, the gauntlet detaches and flies at the attack's target, then immediately returns to the wearer and reattaches.
- The armor can't be removed against the wearer's will.
- The wearer's walking speed increases by 5 feet.
Armor of Magical Strength
Item: A suit of armor (requires attunement)

Guardian
You design your armor to be in the front line of conflict. It has the following features:
- Thunder Gauntlets. Each of the armor's gauntlets counts as a simple melee weapon while you aren't holding anything in it, and it deals 1d8 thunder damage on a hit. A creature hit by the gauntlet has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn, as the armor magically emits a distracting pulse when the creature attacks someone else.
- Defensive Field. As a bonus action, you can gain temporary hit points equal to 1d6 + half your level in this class (rounded up), replacing any temporary hit points you already have. You lose these temporary hit points if you doff the armor. You can use this bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Infiltrator
You customize your armor for subtle undertakings. It has the following features:
- Lightning Launcher. A gemlike node appears on one of your armored fists or on the chest (your choice). It counts as a simple ranged weapon, with a normal range of 100 feet and a long range of 300 feet, and it deals 1d6 lightning damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with it, you can deal an extra 1d6 lightning damage to that target.
- Powered Steps. Your walking speed increases by 5 feet.
- Dampening Field. You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on such checks, the advantage and disadvantage cancel each other, as normal.
Extra Attack
Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Armor Modifications
At 9th level, you learn how to use your artificer infusions to specially modify your Arcane Armor. That armor now counts as separate items for the purposes of your Infuse Items feature: armor (the chest piece), boots, helmet, and the armor's special weapon. Each of those items can bear one of your infusions, and the infusions transfer over if you change your armor's model with the Armor Model feature.
In addition, the maximum number of items you can infuse at once increases by 2, but those extra items must be part of your Arcane Armor.
Perfected Armor
At 15th level, your Arcane Armor gains additional benefits based on its model, as shown below.
- Guardian. When a Huge or smaller creature you can see ends its turn within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to magically force the creature to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC, pulling the creature up to 30 feet toward you to an unoccupied space. If you pull the target to a space within 5 feet of you, you can make a melee weapon attack against it as part of this reaction.
![](https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/90586/assets/1034903/artillerist.png?1578843647)
You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.
- Infiltrator. Any creature that takes lightning damage from your Lightning Launcher glimmers with magical light until the start of your next turn. The glimmering creature sheds dim light in a 5-foot radius, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls against you, as the light jolts it if it attacks you. In addition, the next attack roll against it has advantage, and if that attack hits, the target takes an extra 1d6 lightning damage.
Artillerist
While siege weapons are somewhat popular and known among countries of the world, few people actually know how to use them properly. Artillerists are those artificer that learned the secrets of these weapons, and use them to lay waste and destruction serving their purposes.
Tool Proficiency
When you adopt this specialization at 1st level, you gain proficiency with woodcarver's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Artillerist Spells
Starting at 1st level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Artillerist Spells table.
These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
Artificer Level | Spell |
---|---|
1 | Blast*, Shield |
5 | Rocket Jump*, Shatter |
9 | Fireball, Wind Wall |
13 | Ice Storm, Wall of Fire |
17 | Cone of Cold, Wall of Force |
Eldritch Cannon
Also at 1st level, you've learned how to create a magical cannon. Using woodcarver's tools or smith's tools, you can take an action to magically create a Small or Tiny eldritch cannon in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. A Small eldritch cannon occupies its space, and a Tiny one can be held in one hand. Once you create a cannon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot to create one. You can have only one cannon at a time and can't create one while your cannon is present.
The cannon is a magical object. Regardless of size, the cannon has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+0). If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour.
You can dismiss it early as an action.
When you create the cannon, you determine its appearance and whether it has legs. You also decide which type it is, choosing from the options on the Eldritch Cannons table. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause the cannon to activate if you are within 60 feet of it. As part of the same bonus action, you can direct the cannon to walk or climb up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space, provided it has legs.
Eldritch Cannon
Cannon | Activation |
---|---|
Flamethrower | The cannon exhales fire in an adjacent 15-foot cone that you designate. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d8 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried. |
Force Ballista | Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the cannon, at one creature or object within 120 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away from the cannon. |
Protector | The cannon emits a burst of positive energy that grants itself and each creature of your choice within 10 feet of it a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1). |
Arcane Firearm
At 5th level, You know how to turn a wand, staff, or rod into an arcane firearm, a conduit for your destructive spells. When you finish a long rest, you can use woodcarver's tools to carve special sigils into a wand, staff, or rod and thereby turn it into your arcane firearm. The sigils disappear from the object if you later carve them on a different item. The sigils otherwise last indefinitely.
You can use your arcane firearm as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. When you cast an artificer spell through the firearm, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal to the number rolled.
Explosive Cannon
Starting at 9th level, every eldritch cannon you create is more destructive:
- The cannon's damage rolls all increase by 1d8.
- As an action, you can command the cannon to detonate if you are within 60 feet of it. Doing so destroys the cannon and forces each creature within 20 feet of it to make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 3d8 force damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
Fortified Position
By 15th level, you’re a master at forming well-defended emplacements using Eldritch Cannon:
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/28/61/d6/2861d6c7c6e5d5a3fc3cae200fcda0c4.jpg)
- You and your allies have half cover while within 10 feet of a cannon you create with Eldritch Cannon, as a result of a shimmering field of magical protection that the cannon emits.
- You can now have two cannons at the same time. You can create two with the same action (but not the same spell slot), and you can activate both of them with the same bonus action. You determine whether the cannons are identical to each other or different. You can't create a third cannon while you have two.

In combat, the defender shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours.

Also, when you expend a spell slot to create a grenade, you instead create a number of grenades equal to twice the expended spell slot's level.
Gunsmith Specialist
Firearms have severely changed warfare, and those that create them know how to use them better than no one. Many artificer have specialized on them, learning to infuse their weapons with arcane energy to make them deadlier.
Tools of the Trade
When you adopt this specialization at 1st level, you gain proficiency with gunsmith's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Gunsmith Spells
Starting at 1st level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Gunsmith Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
Gunsmith Spells
Artificer Level | Spell |
---|---|
1 | Shield, Zephyr Strike |
5 | Pyrotechnics, Redirect Projectile* |
9 | Conjure Barrage, Squelaiche's Rainbow Blast* |
13 | Fabricate, Locate Creature |
17 | Far Step, Swift Quiver |
Magical Shooter
Starting 1st level, you can create magical firearms. Using your gunsmith's tools over 1 hour of work, you create a magical firearm of your choice that lacks the scatter property. This is your Arcane Firearm, it can only be used by you and you have some benefits when using it.
- It uses your intelligence instead of dexterity for both attack and damage rolls, and needs no gunpowder to shot.
- You can use your firearm as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells.
- If it has the reload property, you can reload it as an interaction.
You can only have one arcane firearm constructed at a time, and if you create a new one, the first one disassembles, as it loses the magic that holds it together.
Deadly Aim
Also, staring 1st level, your ranged attacks using firearms ignore half cover and don't get disadvantage by attacking at long range.
![](https://dtrpg-public-files.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/images/8957/170778.jpg)
Imbued Barrel
Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Also, now your Arcane Firearm's attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Magical Ammunition
Starting 9th level, you can use a bonus action to expend an artificer spell slot to infuse magic in the barrel of your arcane firearm. Your next attack roll with it before the ending of your next turn deals a number of extra d8s as force damage equal to the expended spell slot's level.
Twin Shot
Starting 15th level, your mastery infusing firearms with magic is unmatched. Once per turn when you deal damage with your Magical Ammunition feature, you can now inflict half the amount of force damage rolled on the damage roll to any creature of your choice within 10 feet from the target.
Horologist Specialist
When crafters discovered a way to track time with ease, artificers soon followed them and tried to meddle with time magic. Numerous disasters occurred during this period, but at the end, they found a way to alter the very time using their magical tinkering.
Tools of the Trade
When you adopt this specialization at 1st level, you gain proficiency with clocksmith's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Horologist Spells
Starting at 1st level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Horologist Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
Horologist Spells
Artificer Level | Spell |
---|---|
1 | Gift of Alacrity, Sleep |
5 | Blur, Lesser Restoration |
9 | Haste, Slow |
13 | Divination, Unfold Time* |
17 | Dawn, Temporal Shunt |
Magical Clockwork
Starting at 1st level, you can craft a special device that allows you to manipulate time. Working 1 hour over a long rest, you can assemble a pocket watch that fits your hand, known as a Chronoturner. It marks the exact time of the material plane on the place you are in, and can be used as a spellcasting focus, as well to create magical effects that twist time.
These effects are known as chronomancy effects (detailed below). The chronoturner has a number of charges equal to half your artificer level (rounded up) + your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1).
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3d/66/57/3d66571ab3d45d871546b80cdac4687f.jpg)
You use these charges to activate chronomancy effects, recovering used charges when you finish a long rest. You can expend artificer spell slots to recharge it with a number of charges equal to the spell slot's level. Charges that surpasses the device's maximum capacity are lost. If you ever lose this item, you can create a new one. If you do so, the first chronoturner falls apart, as the magic dissipates from it.
Chronomancer
At 1st level, you have learned how to meddle with the time flow. These effects are known as chronomancy effects, and require charges from your chronoturner to be used. You learn 2 effects of your choice at this level, and learn additional effects as you gain levels in this class, and you can change one of your known chronomancer effects whenever you gain a level in this class.
You learn how to produce one additional chronomancy effects at 5th, 9th, and 15th level. Chronomancer effects are described at the end of this subclass entry.
Residual Time Flux
Starting 5th level, your spells potence you chronomancy. After you cast an artificer spell of first or higher level using the chronoturner as a spellcasting focus, the next chronomancy effect that you produce is enhanced:
- If the effect needs a saving throw and the target fails it, you can inflict a number of d4s as force damage equal to the spell level to the target creature.
- It can grant a number of d4s as temporary hit points equal to the spell level to the target creature.
Forced Continuity
Starting 9th level, the time magic you have learned can be used to maintain magical effects running. If you fail a concentration check, you can use your action to repeat it.
You can do this a number of times equal to your intelligence modifier (minimum 1) and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Alternate Timelines
At 15th level, you can now draw power from other "yous" from alternate timelines. You learn one spell of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th level from any class' spell list. Those spells count as artificer spells for you, but don't count toward the total number of spells you know, and you can change one of them whenever you finish a long rest. At 17th level, you learn an additional spell of 5th level.
You can cast each of these spells once using a spell slot, and recover the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Chronomancy Effects
The following effects are activated using 1 charge from your chronoturner. Some of them require a saving throw, using your spell DC when needed.
- Accelerator. Using your action, you can grant a creature within 60 feet from you that you can see a bonus to it's initiative equal to your intelligence modifier (minimum 1). Only one creature can be affected by this effect at a time. The effect persists 1 minute, and it increases by 1 additional minute at 5th, 11th and 17th artificer level.
![](https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/012/136/647/large/kate-sm-old-man.jpg?1533216199)
- Alternative Outcome. Using your reaction, you can force a single creature that you can see within 60 feet from you to repeat an attack roll. If the creature fails a charisma saving throw, it then must repeat such attack roll, and has to use the new roll.
- Blurring. Using your action, you can send parts from your body to the immediate past and future, creating temporal gaps in your own self, adding your intelligence modifier (minimum 1) to your total AC until the ending of your next turn. The effect increases its duration by one additional turn at 5th, 11th and 17th artificer level.
- Fastforward. Using a bonus action, you grant any willing creature that you can see within 60 feet from you a bonus to it's movement speed equal to 5 times your intelligence modifier (minimum 5 feet) until the end of your next turn. This effect increases it's duration by 1 additional turn at 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th artificer level.
- Future Sending. When you cast an artificer spell that targets a single creature, you can send said spell to the future. The spell takes effect at the beginning of your next turn. If it requires concentration, it starts until it takes effect, or 6 seconds later (if you're out of combat). You can increase the amount of time you can delay your spells as you gain levels in the artificer class by 1 turn (or 6 additional seconds) at 5th (2 turns), 10th (3 turns), 15th (4 turns) and 20th (5 turns) artificer level.
- Magical Delay. Using a bonus action, you can reduce the speed of any creature within 60 feet from you that you can see. The creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or get it's speed reduced by half until the end of your next turn. This effect has it's duration increased by 1 additional turn at 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th artificer level.
- Reactive. You can use your reaction to interrupt a creature's turn and take your turn immediately. Can only be used if you haven't taken your turn this round.
- Spell Continuity. As part of the cast spell action, you can double the duration of any spell with a duration from 1 minute and up to 24 hours. The time can be tripled at 9th artificer level, and quadrupled at 17th artificer level.
- Time Brake . Using your reaction when rolling initiative, you can subtract your intelligence modifier (minimum 1) from a creature's initiative you can see within 120 feet from you. The creature makes a charisma saving throw, with no effect on a success.
- Time Rewind. Using your reaction, you can make any creature within 60 feet that you can see, repeat a saving throw or skill check. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw, repeating the roll on a failure. The creature must use the new roll. (This doesn't affect the legendary resistance trait).
- Time Slicer. You can use the dodge action as a bonus action.
Infiltrator Specialist
Technology is a useful tool in the right hands, and those who excel in the use of tools have taken their understanding of such to improve the performance of people on every possible job. One of those jobs is the one of the infiltrators: specialized crafters trained in the ways of espionage, stealth and subtlety, using creative gadgets to facilitate, infiltration, assassination and information gathering.
Tools of the Trade
When you adopt this specialization at 1st level, you gain proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Gadgeteer
Also at 3rd level, you learn how to use your tinker's tools to create varied and useful tools to aid in your missions. During a long rest working with tinker's tools for 1 hour, you can create two of these gadgets, that can be used by you or any other creature. You gain the ability to create one additional gadget at 5th, 9th and 15th artificer level. If you create a new gadget over your actual limit, one of your choice ceases to work and falls apart.

If the extraction point is occupied by another creature or object, you and the other creatures receive 4d8 force damage each.
Once you've used this feature, you cannot use it again until you've finished a long rest.
Gadgets

Rune sculptors are strange and exotic inventors (even for Artificers standards). They draw the ancient energy from arcane runes using their sculpting ability, as well as their knowledge of arcane runes to animate golems, using their knowledge to protect themselves and their allies.
Tools of the Trade
When you adopt this specialization at 1st level, you gain proficiency with mason's tools. If you already have any of these proficiencies, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Rune Sculptor Spells
Starting at 1st level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Rune Sculptor Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Starting at 1st level, you can spend 1 hour creating a medium sized golem with your mason's tools, which is made of construction materials (clay, concrete, marble, granite, etc). It's friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Runic Golem stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the creature's appearance.
You can have only one Runic Golem active at any time, and sculpting a new one makes the first to crumble to dust. If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your mason's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher, reanimated with a number of hit points equal to 5 times the spell slot's level. If you die, your golem immediately crumbles to dust.
![](https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/003/595/128/large/bluezima-dong-wook-shin-4.jpg?1475548811)
In combat, your golem shares your initiative count, and it takes its turn immediately after yours.
It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

At 1st level, using your poisoner's supplies you can produce, over a long rest, a number of poison vials equal to your artificer level (rounded up). You can create additional poisons of your choice spending a spell slot as an action while holding your poisoner's supplies on hand. The number of poisons created in this way equals the expended slot's level.

- Ingested. You can put the poison in the food or drink of any creature as an action. Such creature must succeed on a perception check against your spell DC. On a success, it realizes someone has tried to poison it. You can instead put it on the mouth of a paralyzed or unconscious creature.

You can throw it as far as 60 feet away from you, affecting all creatures in a 5 feet radius centered on a point where you throw your poison vial. Creatures in the area have a +2 bonus to their saving throws against the poison as it takes more dose to really be affected by it.
- Injury. You can coat any weapon that deals piercing or slashing damage with a full vial of poison as a bonus action. Using your action instead, you can apply it directly on any open injury of a paralyzed or unconscious creature. Poison coated in weapons remain up to 1 minute on the blade, evaporating after it. The amount of time the poison remains in the weapon increases to 10 minutes at 9th level, and 1 hour at 15th artificer level.

- The creature's constitution saving throw modifier.

Starting 9th level, poison damage inflicted by your artificer spells and features, as well as those crafted by you using your poisoner's supplies ignore resistance to poison damage. Creatures with immunity to poison damage instead receive half damage from your cleric features and spells. Undead and constructs are immune to this feature.
Also, you can now poison creatures with immunity to being poisoned (like elementals). Those creatures have advantage on their saving throws to avoid being poisoned by you.

Starting 15th level, you can now create an astounding amount of poison with little ease. Now, whenever you take a short rest, you can decide to produce an extra number of poison vials equal to your intelligence modifier (minimum 1) to replace expended ones.

You can do this only once, and recover the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Subclasses
Barbarians are primal warriors that channel their inner fury and anger to enhance their combat ability and survivability. They can shrug the most heinous attacks and survive with ease, while devastating their enemies, and sometimes, their allies. Barbarians of Abbeorht have rare ways to exploit their rage, having the following subclasses available for them.
Path of the Ancestral Guardian
Most barbarians that come from the wilds belong to tribes that revere their ancestors, consulting them and trying to follow their paths towards honor and glory. Some barbarians among them are chosen by their ancestors, being able to summon them to it's aid, as they watch over the youngling as it grows to become one of them. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.
Subclass Restriction: Non-Ravenite
Ancestral Protectors
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, spectral warriors appear when you enter your rage. While you’re raging, the first creature you hit with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the warriors, which hinder its attacks. Until the start of your next turn, that target has disadvantage on any attack roll that isn't against you, and when the target hits a creature other than you with an attack, that creature has resistance to the damage of the target’s attacks.
Spirit Shield
Beginning at 6th level, the guardian spirits that aid you can provide supernatural protection to those you defend. If you are raging and a creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by three times your rage damage bonus.
At 14th level, you reduce the damage by four times your rage damage bonus.

8 | You can target a creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you who must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take radiant damage equal to 1d6 + half your barbarian level as radiant damage and be blinded until the start of your next turn, as you shot a beam of light. Until your rage ends, you can use this effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action. |
As an action, you can touch one creature (which can be yourself) and confer one of the following benefits of your choice to that creature:
- For 10 minutes, the creature can roll a d3 whenever making an attack roll or an ability check and add the number rolled to the d20 roll.
- Roll a d3. The creature regains one expended spell slot, the level of which equals the number rolled or lower (the creature’s choice). Once a creature receives this benefit, that creature can’t receive it again until after a long rest.
You can do so a number of times equal to your constitution modifier (minimum 1), and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Unstable Backlash
At 10th level, when you are imperiled during your rage, the magic within you can lash out; immediately after you take damage or fail a saving throw while raging, you can use your reaction to roll on the Wild Magic table and immediately produce the effect rolled. This effect replaces your current Wild Magic effect.
Path Affinity
Also at 10th level, you now ignore any prerequisite for the Mage Slayer primal embodiment.
Controlled Surge
At 14th level, whenever you roll on the Wild Magic table, you can roll the die twice and choose which of the two effects to unleash. If you roll the same number on both dice, you can ignore the number and choose any effect on the table.
Path of the Wrangler
The savage nature of barbarians sometimes can resonate with that of wild creatures, allowing some nomads to bond with beasts to fight together. These barbarians learn to share their rage with their animal companions, mounting them to wreak havoc to their enemies, becoming unstoppable forces of the nature.
Beast Bond
Starting level 3 when you first choose this subclass, you learn to treat with animals, and become proficient in the Ride skill.
You also bond with a beast to share your rage. Choose any beast creature of large size without flying nor swimming speed. You call such beast after a 1 hour long ritual, replacing the creature's statblock for that of the bonded Beast included in the next page. The beast is loyal to you and friendly to any other creature that you design, and if you bond with another beast, the first one is released from the bond, fleeing into the nature.
The bonded beast moves with you on your turn, and it takes it's turn on your initiative. Your bonded beast will take the dodge action unless you use your action to command it to take other actions. You can command your beast even when you're not mounted. It must be within 120 feet from you, and must be able to clearly see or hear you. Your bonded beast shares your rage and lust for battle, benefiting from your rage feature.
Whenever you rage, your bonded beast also rages with you using it's reaction if it can sense you within 120 feet from it.
If the beast dies, you can make a 10 minutes ritual within 1 hour from its decease that costs 5sp per barbarian level to resurrect it.
![](https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/006/127/050/large/laurent-miny-nain-monte.jpg?1496232721)
Rider's Fury
Also at 3rd level, while you're mounted on your bonded beast and raging, you can use your bonus action to make a single melee weapon attack after using your action to command your beast to attack.
Nomad Rider
Starting 6th level, you have became a true rider. You now have advantage on saving throws made to avoid falling off your mount. If you fall off your mount and descend no more than 10 feet, you can land on your feet if you’re not incapacitated.
Also, mounting or dismounting your bonded beast costs you only 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed.
Rage of the Raider
At 10th level, while you're mounted on your bonded beast and move at least 20 feet in a straight line towards a creature and the immediately hit it with a melee attack, it must make a Strength saving throw against a DC 8 + your strength modifier + your proficiency bonus, falling prone on a failure.
Path Affinity
Also at 10th level, you now ignore any prerequisite for the Brutal Attack primal embodiment.
Unstoppable Force
At 14th level, you and your bonded beast have become a mighty engine of destruction. While raging and mounted on your bonded beast, you and your mount cannot be magically put to sleep. Both of you also get advantage on saving throws against being charmed, frightened, grappled or paralyzed.
Bonded Beast
Large Beast, Alignment Same as it's Raider
- Armor Class 12 + your proficiency bonus
- Hit Points 6 + six times your barbarian level (the beast has a number of Hit Dice [d10s] equal to your barbarian level)

- Languages Understands the languages of its raider, but cannot speak.
Actions
Maul: Melee Weapon Attack: 3 + your proficiency bonus to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d8 + PB slashing damage.
Path of the Zealot
Barbarians are highly spiritual, and while many pray to different gods, some of them become embodiments and zealots of their favorite gods. These blessed warriors are powerful enemies charged with divine zeal and might. This text replaces the original text on the XGtE's subclass entry.
Divine Fury
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can channel divine fury into your weapon strikes. While you're raging, your melee weapon attacks deal 1d4 additional damage. The extra damage is necrotic or radiant; you choose the type of damage when you gain this feature.
The additional damage increases to 1d6 at 6th level, 1d8 at 10th level and 1d10 at 14th barbarin level.
Also, you can chose to turn your rage bonus damage to the same damage type with each of your attacks.
Warrior of the Gods
At 3rd level, you become marked for endless battle, allowing your soul to return to life easily.
If a spell, such as Raise Dead, has the sole effect of restoring you to life (but not undeath), the caster doesn't need material components to cast the spell on you.
Fanatical Focus
Starting at 6th level, the divine power that fuels your rage can protect you. You gain advantage on Charisma, Wisdom and Intelligence saving throws.
At 10th level, you also gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.
Zealous Aura
At 10th level, you learn to channel divine power to inspire zealotry in others. You exude an aura of mighty zealousness. Creatures of your choice within 10 feet from you add your rage damage bonus as a bonus to all it's weapon damage rolls.
Path Affinity
Also at 10th level, you now ignore any prerequisite for the Relentless Fury primal embodiment.
Rage Beyond Death
Beginning at 14th level, the divine power that fuels your rage allows you to shrug off fatal blows. The DC of your Relentless Rage feature increases only on +2 for each consecutive time that you use it.
Also, the DC of any attemtp to bring you back to life with magic decreases by an amount equal to your Rage Damage Bonus.

Bard
Known as minstrels, jokers, storytellers and traveling artists, those rare mortals with the strange and uncommon ability to produce magic through music are formally known as bards. Being arcane abnormalities, academics all across the world haven't been able to fully understand how music is able to replicate spells that wizards and other spellcasters take years to even comprehend short of being able to cast them. Bards correct them by saying that they don't replicate magic, but create it, making ley lines off Abbeorht vibrate with their musical notes. No academic really understands how they do so, but their multiple abilities and knowledges prove useful if not vital for anyone lucky enough to have a bard by their side.

- (a) a diplomat's pack or (b) an entertainer's pack
- Any two portable musical instruments

You have learned to untangle and reshape the fabric of reality in harmony using musical notes and special techniques with musical instruments. Your spells are part of your vast repertoire, magic that you can tune to different situations.
Cantrips

![](https://art.ngfiles.com/images/1421000/1421583_artdeepmind_bard.jpg?f1599781919)
Chords
The Bard table shows how many chords you have to cast your bard spells (known as Staves) of 1st level and higher. To play one of these sheets, you must expend a number of chords equal to the spell's level, and they always have a somatic component, regardless of what a spell might indicate. You regain all expended chords when you finish a short or long rest. You can expend chords up to your total chords limit as shown in the Bard table, producing additional effects as if you were casting it with a spell slot of higher level.
Staves Known of 1st and higher level
At 1st level, you have memorized two spells of 1st-level of your choice from the bard spell list. These spells are learned in the form of musical compositions known as Arcane Staves.
The Arcane Staves column of the Bard table shows when you learn more bard spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level equal or lower to your chords limit, as shown on the table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can memorize one new Arcane Stave of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you finish a long rest, you can choose one of the Arcane Staves you know and replace it with another one from the bard spell list, which also must be of a level equal to or lower than your Chords Limit.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your bard spells. Your magic comes from the heart and soul you pour into the performance of your music or oration. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability.
In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a bard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC
Spell attack modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use any musical instrument (found in chapter 5) you're proficient with as a spellcasting focus for your arcane staves.
Bardic Inspiration
Also at 1st level, you can now inspire others through your words and music. To do so, you use a bonus action to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. It gains a Bardic Inspiration die, a d4.
Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your charisma modifier (minimum 1). You regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d6 at 5th level, a d8 at 9th level, a d10 at 13th level and a d12 at 17th level.
Bardic Songs
Starting 2nd level, the technique you use to infuse magic into music allows you to create special magical effects. these effects are known as bardic songs, and they have the following characteristics.
- You can use your bonus action to play any of them.
- They have an area of effect with a radius of 30 feet centered on you. You can affect a number of creatures within the area equal to your charisma modifier (minimum 1), including you if you so desire when you produce the effect.
- Deafened creatures are immune to these songs.
- They require a musical instrument you're proficient with or your voice.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/41/e5/d0/41e5d0f79cccbbdf5519f53e3525d924.jpg)
- They use the Song Potency column on the Bard table to determine their effect.
You learn three bardic songs at 2nd bard level, and learn additional songs as you gain levels in the bard class. You learn one additional song at 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th bard levels, and can replace one of them when you gain a new level in the bard class.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your bard level, and recover all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
The bardic songs options are presented at the end of this class' entry.
Jack of All Trades
Also at 2nd level, you can now add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn't already include your proficiency bonus.
Bard College
At 3rd level, you delve into the advanced techniques of one bardic college of your choice from among th 17 known colleges. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th and 14th level.
Expertise
At 3rd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies.
Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
At 10th level, you can choose another two skill proficiencies to gain this benefit.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Musical Theory
By 7th level, you have plundered magical knowledge from a wide spectrum of disciplines. Choose two spells from the spell lists from the bard, sorcerer or wizard classes, or from a class you Bard college lets you learn spells (like the druid's spell list for the College of Evergreen).
A spell you choose must be a cantrip or of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table. You learn the chosen cantrip (or a spell as an arcane staff, depending of your choice of spell or cantrip), and aren't included in the Arcane Staves nor Known cantrips columns of the Bard table.
You learn one additional spell from these classes at 11th level, 15th level and 18th bard level.
You can replace one of these spells whenever you finish a long rest.
Improvisation
Starting 11th level, you can tap into your knowledge of arcane music to produce beautiful songs that demand additional magical proficiency. You can spend 6 chords to produce any 6th level spell from the bard spell list. You can only cast a 6th level spell once, and recover the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
You can produce spells of higher level as you gain new levels in the bard class. You can spend 7 chords to produce a 7th level bard spell at 13th level, 8 chords to produce an 8th level bard spell at 15th level, and 9 chords to produce a 9th level bard spell at 17th level.
You can cast a spell of each of these levels only once, and recover the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Virtuoso
At 20th level, you regain one use of your bardic inspiration an 5 uses of your Bardic wongs when you roll initiative.
Also, you can now change any of your known Bard Songs during a long rest.
Bardic Songs
Here are presented in alphabetical order the options you can learn for your Bardic Songs.
Disturbing Noise
Affected creatures must succeed on a constitution saving throw against your spell DC or receive five times your song potency as thunder damage, or only half damage on a success.
A creature that fails it's saving throw also gains disadvantage on perception checks relying on hearing until the beginning of your next turn.

Subclasses
Bards from Abbeorht have developed different and more varied ways to create their magic.
![](https://i0.wp.com/nerdarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/mike-allred-david-bowie.jpg?fit=686%2C313&ssl=1)
The abundance of magic, themes, inspiration and chaos, among many other different conditions, have made them take advantage of any possible source of inspiration, creating more and more colleges from which to draw both magic and a sustenance. The following subclasses are available for them.
College of Creation
Those bards who join this mystical college believe that the gods granted mortals the divine ability to create things just as they did in the beginning of the times. These bards focus their magical abilities in bringing life and animating objects, ideas and feelings. The following text replaces the TCoE's subclass entry.
Divine Notes
When you join the College of Creation at 3rd level, whenever you give a creature a Bardic Inspiration die, you can utter a note from the Song of Creation to create a Tiny mote of potential, which orbits within 5 feet of that creature. The mote is intangible and invulnerable, and it lasts until the Bardic Inspiration die is lost. The mote looks like a musical note, a star, a flower, or another symbol of art or life that you choose.
When the creature uses the Bardic Inspiration die, the mote provides an additional effect based on whether the die benefits an ability check, an attack roll, or a saving throw, as detailed below:
- Ability Check. The creature rolls the Bardic Inspiration die twice and choose which roll to use, as the mote pops and emits colorful, harmless sparks for a moment.
- Attack Roll. Immediately after the attack, the mote thunderously shatters. The target and each creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or take thunder damage equal to the number rolled on the Bardic Inspiration die.
![](https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/017/867/738/large/giovanni-calore-bardo.jpg?1600762710&dl=1)
- Saving Throw. The mote vanishes with the sound of soft music, causing the creature to gain temporary hit points equal to the number rolled on the Bardic Inspiration die plus your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).
Performance of Creation
Also at 3rd level, as an action, you can channel the magic of the Song of Creation to create one nonmagical item of your choice in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of you. The item must appear on a surface or in a liquid that can support it. The gp value of the item can't be more than 2 times your bard level, and the item must be Medium or smaller. The item glimmers softly, and a creature can faintly hear music when touching it. The created item disappears after a number of hours equal to your song potency.
Once you create an item with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend 3 chords to use this feature again. You can have only one item created by this feature at a time; if you use this action and already have an item from this feature, the first one immediately vanishes.
The size of the item you can create with this feature increases by one size category when you reach 6th level (Large) and 14th level (Huge).
Creative Instinct
Starting at 6th level, your Jack of All trades feature now applies to all artisan tools you're not proficient with when using them to create or modify items.
Animating Performance
Also by 6th level, you can now grant magical animation to inanimate objects. As an action, you can target a Large or smaller nonmagical item you can see within 30 feet of you and animate it. The animate item uses the Dancing Item stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB), The item is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. It lives for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, or until you die.
In combat, the item shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the item can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
When you use your Bardic Inspiration feature, you can command the item as part of the same bonus action you use for Bardic Inspiration.
Once you animate an item with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend 4 chords to use this feature again. You can have only one item animated in this way at a time; if you use this action and already have a dancing item from this feature, the first one immediately becomes inanimate.
Dancing Item

- Armor Class 16 (natural armor)

Creative Crescendo
At 14th level, your dominion over creation allows you to create additional items. Now, when you use your Performance of Creation feature, you can create more than one item at once. The number of items equals your Charisma modifier (minimum two items). If you create an item that would exceed that number, you choose which of the previously created items disappears. Only one of these items can be of the maximum size you can create; the rest must be Small or Tiny.
You are no longer limited by gp value when creating items with Performance of Creation.
College of Dance
Dance is a vital part of most rituals, festivals, parties, rites and many other aspects of cultures and daily lives, and the inspiration produced by these movements can be exploited by some bards. As time has passed on, bards have polished their dancing ability, including even combat maneuvers and the ability to charm people with their dancing.
Blade Dancing
When you join the College of Dance at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Acrobatics skill and with Sabres. You can use any dagger, longsword, rapier, shortsword or sabre as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells, and can use your Bardic Songs feature without needing a musical instrument if you move at least 10 feet on your turn before using said feature.
Also, while you are wearing no armor and no shield in hand, you can calculate your unarmored defense as 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.
![](https://image.ibb.co/iiSSTH/arabian_orc_stephen_nickel_dndified_v2.png)
Awe Inspiring Performance
Starting 3rd level, you can inspire different emotions on onlookers while dancing. Once on each of your turns hen you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack using a longsword, rapier, shortsword or sabre, you can immediately expend a bardic inspiration die as a bonus action to produce an effect of your choice from the following list on a creature you can see and that can also see you within 30 feet of you:
- Aggressive Bolero. You can provoke an allied creature, granting it a bonus to it's next weapon damage roll equal to the number rolled on the bardic inspiration die.
- Energic Polka. You can inspire an allied creature to take it's reaction to make a single attack against a creature, adding the number rolled to it's attack roll.
- Invigorating Waltz. You can reinvigorate an allied creature, granting it temporary hit points equal to the number rolled on the inspiration die.
Fancy Foot Work
Starting at 6th level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack using a dagger, longsword, rapier, shortsword or sabre on your turn, you gain the benefits of the disengage action.
Also, you can ignore the somatic component of any bard spell you cast on your turn if you have moved at least 10 feet on your turn immediately before casting it.
Dance Party
Starting 14th level, you can awe and inspire multiple creatures with your dancing performance. When you use your Awe Inspiring Performance feature immediately after scoring a critical hit, you can decide to affect a number of creatures equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 2) with a single effect of your choice.
College of Eloquence
Most people imagine bards as silver tongued individuals, with an irresistible personality and an exquisite dominion of the words on many languages. Bards of this college are the responsible for such common stereotype. The following text replaces the TCoE and MOoT's subclass entry.

Wisdom From Beyond
At 6th level, spirits provide you with supernatural insights. You can conduct an hour-long ritual channeling spirits (which can be done during a short or long rest) using your Spiritual Focus. You can conduct the ritual with a number of willing creatures equal to your proficiency bonus (including yourself). At the end of the ritual, you temporarily learn one spell of your choice from any class.
The spell you choose must be of a level equal to the number of creatures that conducted the ritual or less, the spell must of a level you can cast, and it must be in the school of Divination or Necromancy. The chosen spell counts as a bard spell for you but doesn’t count against the number of bard spells you know.
Once you perform the ritual, you can’t do so again until you start a long rest, and you know the chosen spell until you start a long rest.
Spirit Session
Also at 6th level, you learn the speak with Dead spell. It counts as a bard spell for you but doesn't counts towards the total number of spells you know.
You can cast this spell as a ritual spending only 1 chord.
Mystical Connection
At 14th level, you now have the ability to nudge the spirits of Tales from Beyond toward certain tales. Whenever you roll on the Spirit Tales table, you can roll the die twice and choose which of the two effects to bestow. If you roll the same number on both dice, you can ignore the number and choose any effect on the table.
College of Swords
Music can't only be achieved through voice or instruments, but also by steel, and those who join the college of swords know that there's not a more beautiful melody than that of the rhythmic clash of steel vs steel. The text here replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you join the College of Swords at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with all armors, all shields and with bladed staffs, greatswords and sabres.
Also, you can now use any edged melee weapon you're proficient with as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.
Fighting Style
At 3rd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
- Adaptive Fighting. While wielding a single versatile weapon and no shield, you can choose to wield it one or two-handed until the start of your next turn. When wielding it one-handed you gain a +1 bonus to both attack and damage rolls. Wielding it two-handed grants you a +1 bonus to your damage rolls and AC.
- Classical Fencing. When you are wielding a single melee weapon in one hand without the Heavy, Two-Handed or Versatile properties and no shield, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.
- Dueling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
- Great Weapon Fighting. When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
- Skirmisher. While using a weapon with the light and/or finesse property, you can take the disengage action as a bonus action after making a melee weapon attack on the same turn.
- Two-Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Blade Flourish
At 3rd level, you learn to conduct impressive displays of martial prowess and speed. Whenever you take the Attack action on your turn, your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of the turn. If a melee weapon attack that you make as part of this action hits a creature, you can use one of the following Blade Flourish options of your choice.
You can use only one Blade Flourish option per turn.
- Defensive Flourish. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to deal extra damage to the target you hit. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die. You also add the number rolled to your AC until the start of your next turn.
- Mobile Flourish. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to deal extra damage to the target you hit. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die. You can also push the target up to 5 feet away from you, plus a number of feet equal to the number you roll on that die. You can then immediately move up to your walking speed to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the target without provoking opportunity attacks.
- Tripping Flourish. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to deal extra damage to the target you hit. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die. You also make the objective trip, falling prone. You also add your charisma modifier as a bonus to your next weapon damage roll against the tripped creature before the ending of your next turn.
- Slashing Flourish. You can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to deal extra damage to the target you hit and to any other creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you. The damage equals the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die.
Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Master's Flourish
Starting at 14th level, whenever you use a Blade Flourish option, you can roll a d6 and use it instead of expending a Bardic Inspiration die.

College of Valor
Similar to bards that belong to college of Swords, these individuals learn to use weapons as part of their musical performance, but different to they, these bards specialize in inspiring their allies while fighting alongside them. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.
Inspiring Warrior
When you join the College of Valor at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium armor, shields (except tower shields), and martial weapons.
You can use any simple or martial melee weapon you're proficient with as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.
Combat Inspiration
Also at 3rd level, you learn to inspire others in battle. A creature that has a Bardic Inspiration die from you can roll that die and add the number rolled to a weapon damage roll it just made.
Alternatively, when an attack roll is made against the creature, it can use its reaction to roll the Bardic Inspiration die and add the number rolled to its AC against that attack.
Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Battle Magic
At 14th level, you have mastered the art of weaving spellcasting and weapon use into a single harmonious act.
When you use your action to cast a bard spell, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.
College of Warsong
Many bards are found on battles serving as entertainment and healers for troops, but others have found their true vocation on the heat of battle. These bards take up arms and fight alongside their comrades, singing about victory and boosting the morale of the troops.
Battle Muse
When you join the College of Warsingers at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with all armors and shields.
Inspiring Soldier
At 3rd level, you are now able to better support whole squads. You gain one additional use of your bardic inspiration.
You gain an additional use of your bardic inspiration feature at 6th and 14th level.
Legion's Commander
Starting 14th level, you have become the true leader of your whole legion. Whenever you grant a creature one of your bardic inspiration die, you can bolster one additional creature within range that you can see as part of the same action.
![](https://i.redd.it/khxy7ftbzcc41.png)
The second creature gains a bardic inspiration die two sizes smaller (if you granted 1d10, the second creature gains 1d6).
College of Whispers
Bards are experts at producing magic using the sounds of their voices or instruments, but some bards have been "whispered" a secret about their magic: it can go even deeper and be used to effectively harm others. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.
Psychic Blades
When you join the College of Whispers at 3rd level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapons with dreadful mental poison, making them toxic to a creature's mind.
Once on each of your turns, when you make a weapon attack against a creature, you can decide to expend a bardic inspiration die to add it to the attack roll. You can decide to expend the die even after making the attack roll, but before knowing if it hits or not. If it hits, then you deal additional psychic damage to that target equal 2d8. You can use this feature only once per turn.
The psychic damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 3d8 at 6th level, 5d8 at 11th level, 7d8 at 16th bard level.
Also, whenever you are granted the choice to learn a new arcane stave, you can choose spells from the warlock's spell list up to 5th level. These spells count as bard spells for you.
Words of Terror
At 3rd level, you learn to infuse innocent-seeming words with an insidious magic that can inspire terror. As an action, you can spend 1 spell slot to talk to one creature of your choice within 30 feet from you, infusing innocent-seeming words with dreadful meaning, causing paranoia and fear to it. The target makes a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, being frightened you or another creature of your choice on a failure. The target is frightened in this way for a number of minutes equal to the spell slot's level, until it is attacked or damaged, or until it witnesses its allies being attacked or damaged.
If the target succeeds on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you tried to frighten it.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your charisma modifier (minimum 1) and recover expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Mantle of Whispers
At 6th level, you gain the ability to adopt a mortal's persona. When a mortal dies within 30 feet of you, you can use a reaction to magically capture it's shadow. You retain the shadow until you use it or finish a long rest.
You can use the shadow as an action. When you do so, it vanishes, magically transforming into a disguise that appears on you. You now look like the dead person, but healthy and alive. This disguise lasts for 1 hour or until you end it as a bonus action. While you're in disguise, you gain access to information that the humanoid would freely share with a casual acquaintance. Such information includes general details on its background and personal life, but doesn't include secrets. The information is enough that you can pass yourself off as the person by drawing on its memories.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0a/2e/0c/0a2e0ca6c86dce787e5af1a2ec134687.jpg)
Another creature can see through this disguise by succeeding on a Wisdom (Insight) check contested by your Charisma (Deception) check. You gain a +5 bonus to your check.
Once you capture a shadow with this feature, you can't capture another one with it until you finish a short or long rest.
Shadow Lore
At 14th level, you gain the ability to weave dark magic into your words and tap into a creature’s deepest fears.
As an action, you magically whisper a phrase that only one creature of your choice within 30 feet of you can hear. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. It automatically succeeds if it doesn’t share a language with you or if it can’t hear you. On a successful saving throw, your whisper sounds like unintelligible mumbling and has no effect.
If the target fails its saving throw, it is charmed by you for the next 8 hours or until you or your allies attack or damage it. It interprets the whispers as a description of its most mortifying secret.
While you gain no knowledge of this secret, the target is convinced you know it. While charmed in this way, the creature obeys your commands for fear that you will reveal its secret. It won’t risk its life for you or fight for you, unless it was already inclined to do so. It grants you favors and gifts it would offer to a close friend.
When the effect ends, the creature has no understanding of why it held you in such fear.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Blood Hunter
Countless groups and individuals have tried to combat those dreadful creatures that predate on mortals and restrain civilization. Few of them have survived and even fewer have actually achieved some degree of success, as none of them can be fully prepared to hunt such entities, as there are just too many different monsters to learn how to fight them all. But, there are some mortals that have learned most than any others. Known as blood hunters, these mortals undergo a secret ritual that is extremely dangerous, varying from group to group, using the profane blood of the creatures they hunt as well as alchemy to increase their prowess, gaining dreadful abilities to combat them and even access to a lesser form of blood magic known as hemocraft that allows them to curse their unfortunate preys. In the end, blood hunters end up becoming monsters to hunt other monsters, dying in the darkness to allow us all to live "safe" in the light.

Hunter’s Bane
At 1st level, you have survived the Hunter’s Bane, a dangerous, long-guarded ritual that alters your life’s blood, forever binding you to the darkness and empowering your body to control and shape hemocraft magic, a special type of hemomancy that uses your own blood to curse and harm others. Whenever you roll a hit die to heal yourself, you can roll twice and choose whichever result of your choice.
Also, some of your hemocraft effects require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Hemocraft Save DC
Hunter Senses
The Hunter’s Bane has honed your senses against the dark.
![](https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/db72079b-e85e-4b59-9c6e-3d2aa69f69cd/dcfsc1s-1dcd19ef-1fd5-4d39-a93e-97dfbc007300.png?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcL2RiNzIwNzliLWU4NWUtNGI1OS05YzZlLTNkMmFhNjlmNjljZFwvZGNmc2Mxcy0xZGNkMTllZi0xZmQ1LTRkMzktYTkzZS05N2RmYmMwMDczMDAucG5nIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.YpJVi5kY2vObKSJfvftN3JqZIjO74bEwyLgdhUhSsm0)
You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track aberrations, fey, fiends, or undead, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about such creatures.
Blood Maledict
Also at 1st level, your hemocraft allows you to curse and manipulate creatures through. You know one blood curse of your choice, detailed in the “Blood Curses” section at the end of the class description. You learn one additional blood curse when the Blood Curses Known column on the Blood Hunter table says so. Each time you learn a new blood curse, you can also choose one of the blood curses you know and replace it with another blood curse.
Each time you use your Blood Maledict feature, you choose which curse to invoke from the curses you know. While invoking a blood curse, but before it affects the target, you can choose to amplify the curse by taking necrotic damage equal to one roll of your hemocraft die. This damage can’t be reduced in any way. An amplified curse gains an additional effect, noted in the curse’s description. Creatures that do not have blood are immune to blood curses unless you have amplified the curse.
You can curse a creature only once between short or long rests. You can use Blood Maledict additional times as per the Blood Maledict Uses column on the Blood Hunter table says.
Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
- Adaptive Fighting. While wielding a single versatile weapon and no shield, you can choose to wield it one or two-handed until the start of your next turn. When wielding it one-handed you gain a +1 bonus to both attack and damage rolls. Wielding it two-handed grants you a +1 bonus to your damage rolls and AC.

- Brutal. When you attack an enemy with a melee weapon without the light or finesse properties, you can decide to push the target 5 feet away from you. The target makes a Strength saving throw with a DC equal to (8 +Bonus proficiency + Strength modifier). This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and you can try to push a target only once per turn.
- Classical Fencing. When you are wielding a single melee weapon in one hand without the Heavy, Two-Handed or Versatile properties and no shield, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.

When making a ranged attack while you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature, you do not have disadvantage on the attack roll.

- Mariner. As long as you are not wearing medium armor, heavy armor or using a shield, you have a swimming speed and a climbing speed equal to your normal speed, and you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
- Piercer Shooter. While you are wielding a two-handed ranged weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
- Polearm Fighter. When making an attack with a polearm, you can then take a bonus action to make a second weapon attack with its opposite end, dealing 1d4 + your ability modifier in bludgeoning damage.
- Reckless. You gain proficiency with improvised weapons. When you hit a creature with an improvised weapon, you can forgo rolling damage and instead deal maximum damage. The weapon then is broken. You cannot use this fighting style with magical items.
- Shield Combat. If you're wielding a light weapon and a shield on your off hand, you can make a bash attack with you shield as a bonus action. This attack adds your strength modifier to the damage roll.
- Skirmisher. On your turn, you can take the disengage action as a bonus action after making a melee weapon attack whit a weapon with the light and/or finesse property.
- Superior Technique. You learn one maneuver of your choice from among those available to the Fighter class.

You gain two superiority die, which are d4s (this die is added to any superiority dice you have from another source). This die is used to fuel your maneuvers.

- Two Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
- Unarmed Fighting. Your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. If you aren’t wielding any weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8. At the start of each of your turns, you can deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to one creature grappled by you. You can use your Crimson Rite feature on your own body with this fighting style, imbuing all your natural weapons and unarmed strikes with a single use of said feature, making them count as weapon attacks for Blood Hunter features.
Crimson Rite
Also at 2nd level, you learn to invoke a rite of hemocraft that infuses your weapon strikes with elemental energy. As a bonus action, you can activate any rite you know on one weapon you’re holding if you're proficient with it. The effect of the rite lasts until you finish a short or long rest. When you activate a rite, you take necrotic damage equal to one roll of your hemocraft die that can’t be reduced in any way.
While the rite is in effect, attacks you make with this weapon are magical and silvered for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-silvered and/or non-magical damage. They also deal extra damage equal to your hemocraft die of the type determined by the chosen rite.
![](https://www.belloflostsouls.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/van-richten-vampire-fight.jpeg)
A weapon can hold only one active rite at a time, and you can have only 2 weapons affected by your crimson rite feature at once, and when you imbue a new one, you decide which weapon loses it's rite. Other creatures can’t gain the benefit of your rite.

Blood Hunter Order
At 3rd level, you commit to one of the 10 known esoteric and secretive orders of blood hunters whose philosophy will guide you throughout your life, each of which is detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 7th level and again at 11th, 15th, and 18th level.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/09/8b/63/098b638125d1f8b4a2d8543406e49d73.jpg)
Mutagens
By 3rd level you have learned to master forbidden alchemical formulas, known as mutagens, that can temporarily alter your mental and physical abilities. To craft them you use your very blood and a series of specific steps.
Formulas Known
At 3rd level you learn 3 formulas for mutagens, and the number of formulas you know increases as you gain levels in the blood hunter class, as shown on the Blood Hunter table. Additionally, when you learn a new mutagen formula, you can replace one formula you already know with a new mutagen formula.
The formulae available for you are presented at the end of the class' entry.
Creating Mutagens
During a long rest, you can connoct a number of mutagens up to your limit of crafted mutagens according to the Blood Hunter table.
You must have alchemist's supplies with you to craft them.
Consuming Mutagens
As a bonus action, you can consume a mutagen, whose effects and side effects last a number of hours equal to your intelligence modifier each (minimum 1). While a mutagen is affecting you, you can use an action to focus and flush it all from your system, ending it's effect and side effect.
You can have only a single mutagen affecting you at a time, and consuming a new one makes the first one to end abruptly, causing you to take one roll of your hemocraft die as poison damage that cannot be reduced or avoided in any way.
Mutagens are designed for the specific biology of the character who concocted them, as they use the very blood of the blood hunter, and your mutagens have no effect on other creatures. They are also unstable by nature, losing their potency over time and becoming inert if not used before you finish your next long rest.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack

Blood Hunter Subclasses
Blood Hunters are well known on the world of Abbeorth ad powerful and relentless warriors, fighting tirelessly against those creatures that predate mortals. The following subclasses are available for them.
Order of the Damned
All blood hunters are experts at blood magic and use it to fight evil beings and monstrous creatures that predate on mortals, but there are some among these hemomancers that drive their affinity for blood in an anathema way: They acquire a form of vampirism through a drinking ceremony, forever binding their essences to that of the vampires, in exchange for improved physical abilities and vampiric magic.
Preternatural Charisma
When you join this order at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in both the the Deception and Persuasion skills.
Also, you gain the ability to charm creatures with your gaze. As an action, you can target a creature you can see to it's eyes within 30 feet of you that can also see you. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your Hemocraft save DC or become charmed of you until the beginning of your next turn. You can decide to expend additional uses of this feature to prolongate the duration of the charm, and if you do so, the creature can repeat it's saving throw at the beginning of each of it's turns.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your Blood Hunter level (rounded up), and recover all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Vampiric Nature
Also at 3rd level, you become partially a vampire, something known to most mortals as a dhampir. You gain the following advantages:
-
Unholly Blood. You have disadvantage on saving throws to avoid taking radiant damage and on saving throws to avoid being blinded by bright light.
-
Dhampire Nature. You gain darkvision with a range of 120 feet, and gain advantage on investigation, perception and survival checks relying on smell. Also, you have blindisght with a range of 10 feet as long as you can smell, and can instinctively know if you're smelling an aberration, fey, fiend or undead.
-
Dread Fangs. You gain a bite attack that deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier as piercing damage. Your fangs counts as a weapon for purposes of your Crimson Rite feature. You can use a bonus action to attack with your fangs on each of your turns. Whenever you reduce a creature with blood to 0 hit points with your bite attack, you gain temporary hit points equal to 1 roll of your hemocraft die (or the creature's maximum hit points, whichever is lower) if you have a crimson rite active on them.
Hemomancer
Starting at 7th level, your vampiric blood increases your ability over haemomancy. You gain an additional use of your Blood Maledict feature.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ab/f2/6e/abf26ed09b01aae16c578bf4269cbead.jpg)
Also, whenever you roll your hemocraft die to suffer damage, you receive only half the damage that you would normally receive (rounded up, minimum 1).

- Your weapon attacks with an active crimson rite inflict an extra hemocraft die.
- Your bite attack damage increases to 1d10.
You can do so a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) between short or long rests.
Order of the Flagellant
While most blood hunters center their efforts in hunting the monsters and the wicked, some among them have decided to undergo a different path, one full of pain and service to others. These martyrs use the dominion of their own blood to protect others and disturb creatures with their gruesome and bloody practices of self flagellation, that grants them higher physical resistance and the will to keep fighting for others, at the expense of their literal own blood.

At 15th level, you can impose your own suffering to others so they can sense the weight of the pain you bear, overwhelming even the most resilient creatures. You gain the Blood Curse of the Bonded for your Blood Maledict feature.
This doesn’t count against your number of blood curses known.
Presbytery of Pain
Starting at 18th level your body is a testament of the pain one can take before breaking. You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage while you're not wearing armor. You can use a shield and still benefit from this feature.

They are by far the most popular of all orders, and are commonly known as exorcists among the world. The following text replaces Matt Mercer's entry for the Profane Soul subclass.
Rite of the Dawn

Order of the Green Strider
Not all things that predate on mortals are result of necromancy or direct extraplanar creatures. Sometimes, the very influence of foul magics, deranged druids or evil outsiders with dominion over nature can turn a seemingly innocent and secure land into a dangerous biome full of carnivorous and dangerous plants. A small amount of blood hunters devote themselves to the purge and contention of said places. Drinking the nauseating and poisonous sap of some mutated plants, these blood hunters acquire strange druid-like abilities.

Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since you are granted such spells through alchimical formulae. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC
Spell attack modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use any weapon with an active rite focus as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells.
Nature's Combatant
Beginning at 7th level, when you use your action to cast a druid spell, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.
Also, once per turn, you can rerroll any damage roll of your Crimson Rite feature. You must use the second roll, regardless of the result.
Finally, you now ignore difficult terrain made of plants.
Brand of Restoration
Upon reaching 11th level, your Brand of Castigation feature allows you to reuse the nutrients of creatures you kill. When a creature affected by your Barnd of Castigation feature dies, you can use your reaction to absorb part of it if it's within 30 feet of you. You recover spell slots for a combined level that is equal to or less than 1/3 your blood hunter level (rounded down), and none of the slots can be 4th level.
For example, if you're a 11th-level blood hunter, you can recover up to three levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.
Blood Curse of Root Sharing
At 15th level, you can now conjure some of the plants that you drank when you first joined this order using your own blood as a tribute for them. You gain the Blood Curse of Root Sharing for your Blood Maledict feature. This doesn’t count against your number of blood curses known.
Plant Metabolism
By 18th level, your body has adapted some of the physiology of plants. You no longer require to food or sleep as long as you have at least 4 hours of sunlight through the day. You still need to take rests to heal and recover resources.
Also, you gain immunity to poison damage and to the poisoned condition.
Finally, whenever you recover hit points by either magical healing or spending hit die, you regain the maximum possible amount of hit points if you're under direct sunlight or in direct contact with soil.
Order of the Hell Knight
There are some orders of blood hunters that drink the blood of other creatures as part of their rite of initiation, but the blood they drink is from planar creatures. The members of this order go further away, drinking the blood fiends to empower their abilities. The rite these warriors undergo is lethal to all but the most capable, but the advantages and power it confers to the survivors is so powerful that this order continues to take upon the rite even to our modern days.
Fiendish Adaptations
When you join this order at 3rd level, your body has changed to facilitate your hunting after drinking devil's blood. You gain two fiendish adaptations, product of the profane blood you drank. Choose from the following options.
- Eye Beam. You gain the ability to produce a magical beam of fire from your eyes. You produce this hellish fire in a 30 feet long 5 feet wide line. Creatures in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Hemocraft save, taking fire damage equal to 2 hemocraft die on a failure, or only half damage on a success. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum once), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
- Fiend Sight. You gain darkvision with a range of 120 feet. At 11th level, you can see even in magical darkness with this darkvision.
- Forked Tongue. You can add your Intelligence modifier to any Charisma (persuasion) or Charisma (deception) check you make.
- Hellborne. You gain Resistance to Fire Damage.
- Demonic Strength. You gain advantage on Strength checks and saving throws.
- Phase. You can use a bonus action to teleport up to 30 feet in any direction to an empty space of your choice you can see. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
- Rakish Claws. You grow sharp claws that deal 1d6 slashing damage, and have the light and finesse property for you. They count as one weapon for the purposes of your Crimson Rite feature. Their damage becomes magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunities to non-magical damage at 7th level.
You gain an additional adaptation at 11th and 18th blood hunter level, and can replace one of them whenever you gain a level in the blood hunter class.
Fiend Tongue
Also, at 3rd level, you learn how to read, write and speak in either Abyssal or Infernal (your choice).
Finally, the devil blood you drank grants your proficiency in either the persuasion or deception skill (your choice).

Hellfire
Starting 7th level, you gain additional control over fire. Your rite of the flame now ignores resistance to fire damage, and creatures with immunity to fire damage instead take half damage from it.
Brand of Retribution
Starting 11th level, your demonic blood magic makes your Brand of Castigation to severely injure creatures who attack you. When a creature receives damage from your Brand of Castigation feature, it receives additional damage equal to 1 roll of your hemocraft die. If it receives this damage, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your Hemocraft save DC or lose it's ability to take reactions until the beginning of your next turn.
Fiendish Wings
Starting 15th level, the dominion over your fiendish blood allows you to grow wings from your back. As a bonus action, you can manifest these wings, gaining a flying speed equal to your movement speed. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.
In addition, you may use your wings to reduce your rate of falling to 60 feet a round, as per the feather fall spell.
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.
Blood Master
At 18th level, you can use your devilish dominion of blood magic to dominate and use others to your own advantage.
You gain the Blood Curse of Enthralling for your Blood Maledict feature. This doesn’t count against your number of blood curses known.
Also, you become immune to the charmed condition.
Order of the Ironmaster
Blood Hunters are only as capable as two of their tools: their hemocraft proficiency and their equipment. Many blood hunters develop the ability of metal working, serving as blacksmiths for others, and many of them usually end up joining the order of the ironmasters, a strange association of individuals that mix their blood magic with their ability to forge metal. They are deadly warriors, and are some of the most proficient hunters when it comes to dangerous and resilient foes.
Metal Worker
When you join this order at 3rd level, you have developed your ability in the art of the metal smithing.
You gain proficiency with smith's tools.
Finally, your blood curses can affect constructs and other creatures made of metal, even if they have no blood.
Rite of the Blacksmith
Also at 3rd level, you can channel your crimson rite to affect your armor and weapons. You learn the Rite of the Blacksmith as part of your Crimson Rite feature, that can only be used on melee weapons made of metal.
When you activate the Rite of the Blacksmit, the extra damage dealt by your rite is fire damage.
Additionally, while that rite is active on a melee weapon made of metal, you gain the following benefits:
- Your weapon counts as cold iron for purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-cold ironed weapons.
![](https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/DnD-Blacksmith.png)
- The damage reduction of any armor made of metal you are wearing increases by 1.
- You gain a +1 bonus to both attack rolls and damage rolls with it.
Both bonuses increases to +2 at 11th level and to +3 at 18th blood hunter level.
Flesh to Iron
At 7th level, your mixture of hemocraft and blacksmithing allows you to transform partially into metal. You learn the Iron Grasp* cantrip. Intelligence is your Spellcasting ability for it.
Also, whenever you affect a creature with a blood curse, it's speed is reduced by 10 feet as their joints become rigid.
Forge Master
Starting 11th level, your continual exposition to the forge has made your body to adapt to the extreme heat of your craft. You gain resistance to fire damage.
Also, you gain expertise with smith's tools.
Blood Curse of the Forge
At 15th level, your dominon of metal craft allows you to target the objects made of metal wielded by creatures, heating them searing fires of the forge. You gain the Blood Curse of the Forge for your Blood Maledict feature. This doesn’t count against your number of blood curses known.
Adamantine Metal
Starting 18th level, your mastery over metal working allows you to replicate the effects of adamantium on your equipement. When you activate your Rite of the Blacksmith, you can decide to suffer one additional hemocraft die to make your weapon and armor adamantine, ignoring critical hits against you and making your weapon adamantine for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-adamantine weapons.

Order of the Therian
Some groups of blood hunters long ago after the war of chaos discovered that the blessing of therianthropy could be dominated and used to fight against the threats of the world. These blood hunters joined under the Order of the Therian, an esoteric order of warriors that ritualistically take upon the mantle of the now called curse of therianthropy to fight for the world. The following text replaces Matt Mercer's entry for the Profane Soul subclass.
Heightened Senses
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the improved senses of a natural predator. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.
Hybrid Transformation
Also at 3rd level, you learn to control the therianthropy curse that courses through your veins. As a bonus action, you transform into a special hybrid form for up to 1 hour. You can speak, use equipment, and wear armor while in this form, and can revert to your normal form as a bonus action. You automatically revert to your normal form if you fall unconscious or die.
This feature replaces the rules for therianthropy in the Monster Manual.
While you are transformed, you gain the following benefits and drawbacks:
- Feral Might. You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws, and you have a +1 bonus to melee damage rolls. This bonus increases to +2 at 11th level and to +3 at 18th level.
- Resilient Hide. You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks not made with silvered weapons. Additionally, while you are not wearing heavy armor or tower shields, you have a +1 bonus to AC.
- Predatory Strikes. You can apply your Crimson Rite feature to your unarmed strikes, which you treat as one weapon. Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 bludgeoning or slashing damage (your choice), and you can use Dexterity instead of Strength for their attack and damage rolls. This damage increases to 1d8 at 11th level. Additionally, when you use the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional unarmed strike as a bonus action.
- Bloodlust. If you start your turn with fewer hit points than half your hit point maximum, you must succeed on a DC 8 Wisdom saving throw or move directly toward the nearest creature and use the Attack action against that creature. If you’re concentrating on a spell or are under an effect that prevents you from concentrating (such as the barbarian’s Rage feature), you automatically fail this saving throw. If you have your Extra Attack feature, you can choose whether to use it for this frenzied attack. If more than one creature is equally near to you, roll randomly to determine your target. Once your attack is resolved, you regain control of yourself.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Stalker's Prowess
At 7th level, your speed increases by 10 feet, and you add 10 feet to your long jump distance and 3 feet to your high jump distance.
The Burden of Theriantrhopy
Those inducted into the Order of the Therian choose this path with conviction, understanding the terrible weight it imposes on them and the challenges it brings. Where most afflicted by the curse of therianthropy grow wicked, deranged, and even murderous, Therian blood hunters accept the gifts of the beast while maintaining control through intense training and the power of their blood magic. A member of the Order of the Therian cannot spread their curse through blood unless they wish to, and one of the most sacred oaths of this order is to never infect another creature without the order’s sanction.
If a member of the Order of the Therian is ever cured of their therianthropy curse, it brings terrible shame to their name and the order. Members who have been cleansed against their will readily return to the order to undergo a renewed initiation of the Taming, reintroducing the curse to their bodies and restoring their honor.
Therianthropy comes in many forms bound to specific beasts, with wolf, bear, tiger, boar, and rat the best-known variations. The particular strain of the therianthropy curse defines the physical traits that manifest in a Therian blood hunter’s hybrid transformation, even as the benefits the curse bestows remain relatively uniform.
Your hybrid form also gains the following additional benefit.
- Improved Predatory Strikes. You have a +1 bonus to attack rolls made with your unarmed strike. This bonus increases to +2 at 11th level and to +3 at 18th level.
Advanced Transformation
At 11th level, you learn to unleash and control more of the beast within.
![](https://quegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/00-featured-dnd-booming-blade-digital-character-painting.jpg)
You now can use your Hybrid Transformation feature twice, regaining all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. Your hybrid form also gains an additional benefit.
- Therian Regeneration. At the start of each of your turns when you have at least 1 hit point but fewer hit points than half your hit point maximum, you gain hit points equal to 1 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1). If you are in hybrid form, you gain these hit points before you must make the saving throw for your bloodlust.
Brand of the Voracious
Starting at 15th level, you have advantage on the saving throw for your bloodlust while in hybrid form.
Additionally, your Brand of Castigation can now bind a foe to your hunter’s ferocity. While in your hybrid form, you have advantage on attack rolls against a creature branded by you.
Hybrid Transformation Mastery
At 18th level, you have mastered your inner predator. You can use your Hybrid Transformation feature an unlimited number of times, and your hybrid form lasts until you revert to your normal form, fall unconscious, or die.
Finally, you gain the Blood Curse of the Howl for your Blood Maledict feature. This doesn’t count against your number of blood curses known.
Order of the Profane Soul
While they are anathema to most other blood hunter orders, those who join the Order of the Profane Soul do so knowing that not all creatures are killable, or at least, not without enormous sacrificies. These blood hunters mix their knowledge of blood magic with arcane mastery imparted by powerful and eldritch patrons. The following text replaces Matt Mercer's entry for the Profane Soul subclass.
Pact Magic
When you choose this order at 3rd level, you augment your combat techniques with the ability to cast spells.
See chapter 10 of the Player’s Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 of the Player’s Handbook for the warlock spell list.
Cantrips
You learn two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. You learn an additional warlock cantrip of your choice at 10th level.
Mana Points
The Profaene Soul Spellcasting table shows how many mana points you have to cast your warlock spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a number of mana points equal to the desired spell's level. You regain all expended mana point when you finish a short or long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Charm Person and are a level 7 blood hunter, you can spend either 1 or 2 mana points to cast it as a 1st or 2nd level spell respectively.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
At 3rd level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the warlock spell list. The Spells Known column of the Profane Soul Spellcasting table shows when you learn more warlock spells of your choice of 1st level and higher.
A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 13th level, for example, you learn a new warlock spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the warlock spells you know and replace it with another spell from the warlock spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells, so you use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Far Walkers, Eldritch Hunters and Aberrant Strikers are some of the names given by people to these strange blood hunters.

Excelling at both combat and mobility, they specialize in hunting aberrations and their allies.
Rite of the Void
When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn the Rite of the Void as part of your Crimson Rite feature.

Forge Domain Miracles
Clerics of the forge are proficient crafters that specialize in metal working and item enchantments. The following Miracles are available to them.
Artisan's Blessing
While wearing your visible holy symbol, you can conduct an hour-long ritual that crafts a nonmagical item that must include some metal: a simple or martial weapon, a firearm, a suit of armor, twenty pieces of ammunition, a set of tools, or another metal object. The creation is completed at the end of the hour, coalescing in an unoccupied space of your choice on a surface within 5 feet of you.
The thing you create can be something that is worth no more than a number of gp equal to half your cleric level (rounded up). As part of this ritual, you must lay out metal, which can include coins, with a value equal to the creation. The metal irretrievably coalesces and transforms into the creation at the ritual’s end, magically forming even nonmetal parts of the creation.
The ritual can create a duplicate of a nonmagical item that contains metal, such as a key, if you possess the original during the ritual.
Quickened Creation
Starting 6th level, you decrease the time need for this miracle, and can also use it to accelerate the crafting of non-magical items. Use the following table to indicate how long does it take for you to finish the work.
Cleric Level | Needed Time |
---|---|
6 | 75% |
12 | 50% |
18 | 25% |
Magical crafting
Starting 8th level, you can create magical items quickier, halving the time needed for you to create them (ignoring the Quickened Creation miracle improvement). Use the following table to know which items you can create in this way.
Cleric Level | Magical Item Rarity |
---|---|
8 | Common and Uncommon |
14 | Rare |
20 | Very Rare |
Crafter's Boon
You can spend 1 minute touching a creature (or you, if you want so) with both your hand and your holy symbol to grant it the gift of the forge. The creature adds half your cleric level (rounded up) as a bonus to the next artisan tool's check it makes to create an item before the ending of it's next short or long rest.
Divine Inspiration
Starting 8th level, the touched creature gains advantage on the artisan's tools check that uses this Miracle's bonus.
Enchant Metal
As an action, you can touch a piece of non-magical equipment with your holy symbol: either a simple or martial weapon, a firearm, a suit of armor, twenty pieces of ammunition or a set of tools. The chosen item becomes magical and gains a +1 to both attack and damage rolls if it's a weapon, a +1 to AC if it's an armor or a shield, or a +1 if it's a set of artisan tools.
Improved Enchantment
Starting 10th level, the bonus you grant to the enchanted items increases, and grants weapons an extra property. Use the following table to determine this extra bonus.
Cleric Level | Bonus |
---|---|
10 | +2, Silvered and Cold-Ironed |
20 | +3, Adamantine |
Grave Domain
Where priests of the death domain enforce the raising of undead and the reaping of life, those who practice the noble grave domain enforce the balance of mortality, searching to put and end to undeath while also seeing as blasphemous those who search ways to prolongate their life spans by unnatural ways and protecting the lives of those who are about to suffer a premature death. Armed with a set of tools that bring down the dead and preserve the living, these clerics are seen as more benevolent variants of their death cousins. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.
Grave Domain Spells

Eyes of the Grave
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to occasionally sense the presence of the undead as well as of those that are close to death. As an action, you can open your awareness to magically detect undead and any creature with blood that is below it's hit points maximum.
Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any of these creatures within 60 feet of you that isn't behind total cover and that isn't protected from divination magic.
This sense doesn't tell you anything about a creature's capabilities or identity.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your cleric level (rounded up). You regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Sentinel at Death's Door
At 11th level, you gain the ability to impede death’s progress. As a reaction when you or an ally that you can see within 30 feet of you suffers damage, you can halve the damage it receives. Instead, when such a creature receives a critical hit, you can turn that attack into a normal hit. Any effects triggered by a critical hit are canceled.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your cleric level (rounded up). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Keeper of Souls
At 17th level, you can seize a trace of vitality from a parting soul and use it to heal the living. Once per round, when an enemy you can see dies within 30 feet of you, you or one ally of your choice that is within 30 feet of you regains hit points equal to the amount of Hit Dice your enemy had.
You can use this feature only if you aren't incapacitated.
Grave Domain Miracles
These clerics use their divine abilities to protect life and smite the blasphemous undeath. The following Miracles are available to them.
Exchange Life and Death
You can use this miracle when you cast a cleric spell or use a miracle that inflicts radiant or necrotic damage, or that restores hit points. You can exchange the type of damage of a cleric spell or feature that deals radiant or necrotic damage for the other one.

Potent Spell
Starting 8th level, when you use this miracle, you can roll twice for damage or healing and use the result of your choice.

You can use this Miracle only once, and recover the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Further Preservation
Starting 8th level, whenever you use this miracle, you also trigger your Harness Divine Power feature. This miracle doesn't consume an use of your Harness Divine Power feature.
Knowledge Domain
While most clergy dedicates to the keeping and, sometimes, spreading of knowledge, those clerics that adopt the knowledge domain excel at those tasks. They go to further extents by not only learning what their temples already know, but by exploring the world in search for new and forgotten pieces of lore. They delve in common, occult, secretive and forbidden lore, and while not all spread every single piece of knowledge they learn, they end sharing some of it sooner or later. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.

1 | Comprehend Languages, Identify |

Fact |
---|
AC |
Alignment |
Charisma Score |
Constitution Score |
Dexterity Score |
Intelligence Score |
Strength Score |
Wisdom Score |
If the creature has no known fact for the DM to reveal (like a creature having no vulnerabilities) it still counts as an use, as you learn that it, effectively, has no damage vulnerabilities.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your cleric level (rounded up), and recover all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Extended Analysis
Starting 11th level, when you use your Study your Enemy feature you now learn two facts per use.
Visions of the Past
Starting at 17th level, you can call up visions of the past that relate to an object you hold or your immediate surroundings. If you spend at least 1 minute in meditation and prayer, you receive a dreamlike, shadowy glimpses of recent events. You can meditate in this way for a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom score and must maintain concentration during that time, as if you were casting a spell.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
- Area Reading. As you meditate, you see visions of recent events in your immediate vicinity (a room, street, tunnel, clearing, or the like, up to a 50-foot cube), going back a number of days equal to your Wisdom score. For each minute you meditate, you learn about one significant event, beginning with the most recent. Significant events typically involve powerful emotions, such as battles and betrayals, marriages and murders, births and funerals. However, they might also include more mundane events that are nevertheless important in your current situation.
- Object Reading. Holding an object as you meditate, you can see visions of the object's previous owner. After meditating for 1 minute, you learn how the owner acquired and lost the object, as well as the most recent significant event involving the object and that owner. If the object was owned by another creature in the recent past (within a number of days equal to your Wisdom score), you can spend 1 additional minute for each owner to learn the same information about that creature.

A creature that succeeds at this saving throw becomes immune to this Miracle for the next 24 hours.

Luck Domain
Most think of luck as an uncontrollable force, a wild energy that favors some over others. While this is partly true, one can decide to devote itself to lady luck and the gods that uphold this domain.

Water Domain
Water is vital for the existence of life: It nourishes plants, quenches thirst of mortals and covers most of the world's surface. As a vital resource for both life and civilization, some clerics soon dedicated themselves to water itself and the deities that uphold it as it's domain. Those clerics that choose to uphold this domain learn to use it to facilitate the lives of mariners, fishers and coast people, healing their wounds and invoking water to wash away both disease and unwanted creatures to protect their parishioners, allies and their own lives.

- You add your Wisdom modifier to skill checks made to fairly trade with others for goods and resources.
- You add your Wisdom modifier to skill checks to avoid being conned, cheated or deceived during transactions.

Adamantine Mantle
Starting 14th level, whenever you use this feature, your unarmed and weapon attacks count as adamantine for purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-adamantine damage.
Otherwordly Merchant
You can realize a ritual during 1 hour, offering a number of gold coins equal to your cleric level (which are consumed at the end of the ritual). When you finish it, an otherwordly merchant that serves your deity appears in an empty space within 30 feet from you, usually a celestial, but some fey, elementals, fiends or even constructs (like modrons) or strange undead can also serve to certain deities. These merchants speak in all common languages as well as in it's specific language according to it's creature type (like sylvan for a fey, celestail for an angel, abyssal for a demon, etc...).
It is immune to the charmed and frightened condition, trades in fair prices (those indicated on the chapter 3 of this compendium) and feels deeply offended if any creature tries to bargain with it, at the point that it might raise prices for all creatures for what it considers fair (usually an increase of 5-20% in prices) for the offense during their time summoned.
This merchant has all non-magical items with a rarity of 5 or lower, as well as a random number of common magical items. If you want a specific magical item, you must roll 1d100. If the number rolled equals your Wisdom score or lower, the merchant has said item. You must roll for the item every time you attempt to buy a new unit of the same item.
You can buy a maximum number of magical items up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
The creature has no items in exhibition, and instead, whenever it is asked for a specific piece of merchandise, it will magically make it appear on it's hands. If the merchant suffers a rob or attack attempt, or if its targeted by any spell from any creature you deem as faithful to you, as an ally or as a servant, it automatically vanishes, and the resources of the creature that provoked so are depleted for a number of gold coins equal to 10 times your cleric level, as your god pays the merchant for it's work insurance.
If a creature has not enough resources to pay for it, then it loses a number of ability points at a rate of 1 ability point per gold coin, starting from the higher score until all scores are of the same value, taking then 1 point from every score. If the offender is reduced to 0 in any of it's ability scores, it dies permanently, and cannot be resurrected by any means except by a true resurrection spell casted by a cleric or servant of your deity other than you.
If a creature hostile to you triggers the merchant's vanishing, you are the one who pays it's insurance.
Points lost in this way are forever lost and can only be recovered if are bought back at a cost of 50 gold coins per point to a merchant that serves the same god that the one who took them away.
The merchant remains for up to 10 minutes or until you die or ask it to leave (no action required by you).
You can only use this Miracle once per week (10 days).
Well Rounded Stock

Druid
Nature protectors and divine spellcasters associated with the wilderness, legend teels that Fraedus gave mortals the gift of nature to protect the land. These powers came in exchange of some limitations, like the rejection of metal and the promise of bringing balance to all lands, from those near civilization to those far away from it. Many druids established different groups, and even nowadays there is no common consensus for which was the first official druid circle of the world. Not all druids reject civilization or cities, but the lack of untouched nature in those places usually makes druids to choose between them.

Preparing and Casting Spells
The Druid table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your druid spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these druid spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of druid spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the druid spell list. When you do so, choose a number of druid spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Druid level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 3rd-level druid, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six 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 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of druid 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 druid spells, since your magic draws upon your devotion and attunement to nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC
Spell attack modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a druid spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a druidic focus as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells. A druidic focus might be a dreamcatcher, a wand or rod made of special wood, a staff drawn whole from a living tree, or fetishes made from sacred animals.
Natural Renewal
You can use your connection to the land to recover some of your druidic magic. Whenever you take a short rest, if you can meditate for at least 30 minutes in direct contact with the or a plant, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your druid level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.
For example, if you're a 4th-level druid, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.

Metal Aversion
Druids cannot use armors, shields nor weapons made of metal. While wielding or wearing them, a druid cannot cast druid spells nor shapechange.
Wild Shape
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before. You can use this feature twice, and gain additional uses as you gain levels in the druid class, as shown in the druid class table. You regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into, as shown in the Beast Shapes table. At 2nd level, for example, you can transform into any beast that has a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower that doesn't have a flying or swimming speed. While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
- Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature.
- If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
- You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form.
- Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as Call Lightning, that you've already cast.
- You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
- When you transform, you assume the beast's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form, For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
- You can stay in a beast shape for a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down). You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.
Beast Shapes
Level | Max. CR | Limitations | Example |
---|---|---|---|
2 | 1/4 | No flying or swimming speed | Wolf |
5 | 1/2 | No flying speed | Crocodile |
9 | 1 | None | Giant Eagle |
13 | 2 | None | Giant Boar |
You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
Druid Circle
At 2nd level, you choose to identify and align yourself with one of the 20 known circle of druids. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
Land Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you have access to magic from the land. You mystically gain a connection to the place you first became a druid, attuning to it and gaining a set of spells according to the following tables. Once attuned, you prepare the spells indicated under the attuned land, and count as druid spells for you, but doesn't count towards the total number of spells you can prepare.
Meditating 1 hour during a long rest, you can attune to a new biome if you're in it, replacing the spells you gain from this feature.

Wild Companion
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to summon a spirit that assumes an animal form: as an action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to cast the Find Familiar spell, without material components.
When you cast the spell in this way, the familiar is a fey instead of a beast, and the familiar disappears after a number of hours equal to half your druid level.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Renewed Shapes
Starting 4th level, when you use your Natural Renewal feature you also regain 1 expended use of your wild shape feature.
Starting 14th druid level, you now regain 2 expended uses of this feature whenever you use the Natural Renewal feature.
Nature's Savant
Starting 7th level, your knowledge of the wilds increases. You gain expertise in the Nature skill, as well as with herbalist's supplies.
Also, you and your summoned steed are immune to difficult terrain made of non-magical plants, as well as having advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such those created by the Entangle spell.
Gifts From the Land
Starting 11th level, your connection to the land allows you to cast the spells that it grants you with ease. You can cast one land spell of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th level once each without spending a spell slot.
You recover the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Nature's Hierophant
Starting 15th level, your connection to the land and it's magic allows you to use it to facilitate your spellcasting.
As long as you're attuned to a land and standing on it, you can ignore material components of druid spells.
Also, you can call upon the land to increase the potency of your spells. When you cast a land spell while on the land you're attuned to, the DC of those spells is increased by +1.
Timeless Body
Starting at 17th level, the primal magic that you wield causes you to age more slowly. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year.
Beast Spells
By 18th level, your attunement to nature allows you to cast many of your druid spells in any shape you assume using Wild Shape. You can perform the somatic and verbal components of a druid spell while in a beast shape, but you aren't able to provide material components.
Archdruid
At 20th level, you can use your Wild Shape as a bonus action.
Additionally, when you cast a druid spell that requires concentration and have your Wild Companion active, you can decide to transfer the concentration of that spell to your companion if it's within 60 feet from you. If it or you ends their turn further than 60 feet away from each other, the concentration is broken.
Doing this allows you to concentrate in an additional druid spell. Your concentration checks are made with disadvantage while you maintain two spells active at a time in this way. If your companion is hurt and requires to make a concentration check, you must be the one who makes said check using your own Constitution score (with disadvantage, as normal).
Subclasses
The first casters that walked among mortals, druids have a long history on the world, being protectors and guardians of nature. As the time passed over millennia, different circles have appeared and dissapeared on Abbeorth, each with their own agenda. The following subclasses are available to druids.
Circle of Blood
Maybe the first circle of druids that came along in the world, those who use the blood to nurture nature and empower their magic have been known since the ancient times, but many theologists claim that Fraedus might never have granted mortals such a gruesome blessing. Hermetic and secretive, these druids have always been a rare sighting, but with the creation of new circles and less bloody ways to achieve magic, the circle has been slowly disappearing.
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you have learned the secrets of blood and how to use it to protect the land from others.
This dark ability grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Blood 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 Blood Spells
Druid Level | Spell |
---|---|
2 | Crimson Spike* |
3 | Animate Blood*, Hold Person |
5 | Life Transference, Vampiric Touch |
7 | Blood Drain*, Death Ward |
9 | Enervation, Reincarnation |
Blood Letting
At 2nd level you gain understanding of most secrets of the bloods and how spilling it carries it's own mystic power. Whenever you deal piercing or slashing damage to a creature within 30 feet of you, you can grant you or a creature you can see within 30 feet from the damaged creature temporary hit points equal to half the damage inflicted, up to half your druid level + your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
![](https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/043/678/637/large/mattia-rangoni-blood-druid-final2.jpg?1637949499)
Also, claws, daggers, knives, sickles and sabres you use can be used as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells.
Blood Magic
Starting 6th level, you can use the blood of any creature to empower your spells. You are granted a pool of d8s equal to your druid level named blood dice. Whenever you heal or deal damage to a creature with blood using a druid spell of first or higher level, you can, as part of the same action, expend a number of die from this pool up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) or half your druid level (whichever is lower), increasing the damage or the healing done by an amount equal to the rolled dice result. Your hit points maximum is then reduced by 1 for each blood die you used.
Your recover all expended blood dice when you finish a long rest, along with any reduction to your hit points maximum.
Pagan Sacrifice
At 10th level, you have learned the better way to feed the land with the blood of creatures. You learn the Sanguine Offering* spell. It counts as a druid spell for you, and you can cast it once without spending a spell slot but only as a ritual.
Once you've used the spell, you cannot cast it again until you've finished a long rest.
Heart Offering
Starting 14th level, you now can sacrifice the heart of a creature to nourish your magic. As a 10 minute long ritual, you can extract the heart of any creature that has been dead for no longer than 1 hour that you have inflicted a killing blow. After the ritual, you recover a spended spell slot up to half the creature's CR (minimum 1st level, maximum 5th level). You cannot offer a heart from constructs, plants or undead creatures.
Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you've finished a long rest.
Circle of the Depths
You can find an ecosystem in any place of existence: From the deepest trenches in the ocean to the highest mountain peaks. All of them have a balance, and druids are dedicated to such labor. This same rule applies to other planes, such as the feywild, and, strangely the far realm. Druids that join this circle draw power from the twisted creatures that inhabit that plane, adapting their aberrant traits into their own flesh. Wielding madness and flesh warping abilities, these druids are some of the most rare circles of the world, favoring living in corrupted places or even in the very far realm.
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, your mind has opened to new horizons that you couldn't otherwise had even imagined of. The twisting nature of the far realm grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Depths 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.
![](http://www.highlevelgames.ca/uploads/6/9/9/0/69902687/druid-evil.jpg?365)
Circle of the Depths Spells
Druid Level | Spell |
---|---|
2 | Mind Sliver |
3 | Alter Self, Crown of Madness |
5 | Enemies Abound, Fear |
7 | Conjure Aberrations*, Far Realm's Ruination* |
9 | Rary's Telepathic Bond, Synaptic Static |
Flesh Warping
Starting 2nd level, you have acquired a strange ability: being able to alter your own flesh. You can use your Wild Shape feature on your turn as a bonus action to alter your own flesh. If you choose that option, you gain temporary hit points equal to half your druid level (rounded up) + your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1), and one of the following options. You can cast spells per normal while using this feature.
- Amphibious Nature. You gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed, and grow gills on your body that grant you the ability to breath both air and water.
- Chitinous Hide. Your body grows chitinous plates over your skin. Your AC is now calculated as 13 + your dexterity modifier + your constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still benefit from this feature.
- Great Maw. You grow your mandibles, growing sharp teeth on your mouth. You gain a bite attack that deals 1d8+ your strength modifier as piercing damage. You can grapple creatures with your mouth, adding your Wisdom modifier to any ability check you make to make or maintain a grapple with them.
- Raking Claws. You grow sharp claws on both hands, that grant you a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. Also, your unarmed attacks using your hands now deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your strength modifier. They have the light and finesse property for you and are considered proficient with them.
- Stalking Eyes. You grow additional eyes across your exposed skin. You gain advantage on perception checks relying on sight. Also, you gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet, or increase your darkvision by 30 feet if you already have one.
- Tentacular Appendages. You grow a pair of tentacle like appendages on your torso. You can use them to carry objects and roughly interact with other creatures and objects, as well to grapple. These tentacles have a range of 10 feet, and can be used to deliver touch spells. Your unarmed attacks with these deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage + your strength modifier and have the light property.
These alterations remain until you use your wild shape feature again. When you do so, any remaining temporary hit points are lost.
Aberrant Weapons
Starting 6th level, your eldritch natural weapons become deadlier. The damage you inflict with any of your Flesh Warping feature options count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
You can also make an attack with your natural weapons as a bonus action after casting a druid cantrip on your turn.
![](https://upliftlove.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/ShamanDreaming-1.jpg)
Shape of Madness
Starting 10th level, you have gained mastery over your flesh. You can now use your Flesh Warping feature once per long rest without spending an use of your Wild Shape feature.
Also, you can now spend two uses of your Wild Shape Feature to transform into an Aberration creature without the ability to cast spells with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 3, rounded down. When you use this feature, you retain any alteration made to your body by your Flesh Warping feature when you reassume your mortal form.
Alien Shape
At 14th level, your body is so accustomed to flesh warping that you can do it with ease. Whenever you use your Flesh Warping feature, you can choose two options from the list instead of just one.
Circle of the Dreams
Guardians of the dreams and envoys of the feywilds, those select druids that join the mystical circle of the dreams are granted the blessing of the fey courts to watch over mortals. They are tasked with the mission to maintain both mortals and their imagination alive, warding the dreams of their allies and servants, as well as serving as a bridge between the "benevolent" fey courts and those in need of help, even being able to connect both parties in a physical way. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.
Warden of the Dreamers
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you gain immunity to be magically put to sleep.
Also, you add the Sleep spell to your prepared spells. It counts as a druid spell for you, but doesn't counts towards the total number of spells you can prepare. At 6th level, you add the catnap spell to your list of prepared spells in this way.
![](https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/4fb0797f-8595-4aea-be42-45a9f65d67c6/d4fj1gy-a96161f9-7b7a-4e24-a8a8-328d4431d659.jpg/v1/fill/w_900,h_563,q_75,strp/desert_wizard_by_johanjaeger_d4fj1gy-fullview.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7ImhlaWdodCI6Ijw9NTYzIiwicGF0aCI6IlwvZlwvNGZiMDc5N2YtODU5NS00YWVhLWJlNDItNDVhOWY2NWQ2N2M2XC9kNGZqMWd5LWE5NjE2MWY5LTdiN2EtNGUyNC1hOGE4LTMyOGQ0NDMxZDY1OS5qcGciLCJ3aWR0aCI6Ijw9OTAwIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmltYWdlLm9wZXJhdGlvbnMiXX0.pS2hjrGm8_lUTGICejqeBv9rOdiwdYnikvXeeDz1JD8)
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 an ally 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 the expended dice when you finish a long rest.
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.

Summon the Desert
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you have the ability to carry the desert with you. As an action, you can spend an use of your Wild Shape feature to summon an area of 20 feet of sand at your feet with 6 inches of height. The area is considered difficult terrain except for you and those you decide to exclude.
The sands remain up to 10 minutes or until you decide to magically banish them as a bonus action. If you summon a second area of sand, the first one banishes. You can use your bonus action to move the sand 30 feet through any inclined surface with a downwards direction, and horizontal surface, through stairs or steps lower than 1 feet of height, or upside through any inclination with an inclination of 30° or lower.
Shape Sands
Also at 2nd level, you gain the ability to control and shape the sands you summon at your will. While you remain in contact with the sands you conjure through your Summon the Desert feature, you can use your action to produce one of the following effects of your choice.
- Bursting Dunes. When a creature starts its turn on your sand or comes within 5 feet of it, you can make a melee spell attack against it, shooting a burst a burst of sand that inflicts 1d4 + half your Druid level as bludgeoning damage on a hit.
- Dessert's grasp. When a creature starts its turn on your sand or walks though it for the first time during its turn, you can attempt to grapple it. The creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell DC or become grappled by the sand until the beginning of your next turn.
- Wall of Sand. When you or other creature you can see standing on your sand gets hit by a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to make a wall of sand that protects it, granting half cover until the beginning of your next turn, potentially making the attack miss.
Blessing of the Sand
By 6th level, your life striding through dessert sands has granted you proficiency in the Survival skill, as well as the ability to ignore difficult terrain made of sand.
Finally, you are now immune to the effects of extreme cold and extreme heat.
Dessert Crawler
Starting 6th level, you can now merge with the sands and move through them. As a bonus action, while you're standing in terrain made of sand or gravel, you can move to any unoccupied space within 10 feet from you that is also made of sand or gravel without provoking attacks of opportunity.
Master of the Dunes
Starting 10th level, after a long time in contact with the dunes of desert, you gain the following benefits:
- While you remain in terrain made of sand, you cannot be knocked prone nor moved against your will.
- Sand you conjure using your Summon the Desert feature now counts as magical difficult terrain.
- Damage of your Bursting Dunes feature is now considered magical for purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical damage.
Dessert Elemental
At 14th level, you gain the ability to transform into a creature made of sand. You can spend one use of your Wild Shape feature to turn yourself into sand. While transformed in this way, you gain the following advantages:
- You can move through the space of any creature as difficult terrain, and can move through any opening of at least an inch as difficult terrain. You cannot move through water but can walk over it as difficult terrain.
- You gain resistance to non magical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage
- You gain immunity to poison damage and to the poisoned condition.
- Any poison or disease affecting you before using this form is suspended while the form remains active.
This form remains for up to 10 minutes. It ends early if you dismiss it (no action required), are incapacitated, die, or use this feature again. When it ends, you recover your physical form, and if you share space with another creature, you reappear in the closest unoccupied space of your choice.
Once you've used it, you cannot do so again until you've finished a long rest.
Circle of the Fallen
Along the countless years of war, Abbeorht has seen death in almost every single corner of the world. Druids know that mortals are also part of nature, and thus, they belong to the balance of such, both while they are alive, and now, after the death of Vecna, also after death. The members of this strange and dark circle specialize in calling the souls of the departed and use their aid to cleanse and reclaim the nature from the hands of countless monsters, outsiders and the most recent threat to the living: the unresting undead.
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you have learned ways to interact with the departed and use their aid. These spirits grant you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of the Fallen 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 the Fallen Spells
Druid Level | Spell |
---|---|
2 | Toll the Dead |
3 | Borrowed Knowledge, Gentle Repose |
5 | Spirit Guardians, Summon Undead |
7 | Bedlam*, Death Ward |
9 | Death's Veil*, Legend Lore |
Call Forth Fallen Spirit
Starting 2nd level, you can summon the spirits of the deceased to your aid into protecting nature. As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can call the spirit of a deceased warrior of the land, using the stat blocks included at the end of the subclass' entry.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cb/9f/6b/cb9f6b891c2ee15d5f65aa3a9b71ed62.jpg)
When you do so, choose either a Hunter spirit or a Skirmisher spirit.
- Hunter Spirit. This spirit carries arrows and a bow or javelins. Make a ranged spell attack with a range of 30/60. On a hit, it deals 1d4 + half your druid level (rounded up) as piercing damage.
- Skirmisher Spirit. This spirit appears swiftly and stabs a creature using a short sword or a dagger. Make a melee spell attack. on a hit, it deals 1d6 + half your druid level (rounded up) as either piercing or slashing damage (your choice).
The selected type of spirit appears in an empty space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet from you, makes an attack and then disappears in a wail.
You can summon spirits a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) and recover all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Lore of the Fallen

Death Speaker
Also at 6th level, you learn how to communicate with the dead effectively. You can now read and write Stygian.
Also, you add the Speak With Dead spell to your prepared spells. It counts as a druid spell for you but doesn't count towards the total number of spells you can prepare.
Finally, you gain advantage on saving throws against the possessed condition.
Imbued Spirits
Starting 6th level, your summoned spirits attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

You can use this feature once, and recover the ability to use it after you've finished a short or long rest.
Circle of Life
Most druids have forgotten, the main reason of the existence of druids: Protect not land nor nature, but life. Many claim that as such, they might be the first true circle and those who were granted the original gift from Fraedus, and later, all other circles surged around this one. Those benevolent druids that join this ancient but powerful circle, join a group of healers and protectors known as the circle of life, weave powerful energies that restores life and health to both the land and it's inhabitants.
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, your connection with the life force grants your spells a healing force. Your connection to life and healing grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Life 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 Life Spells
Druid Level | Spell |
---|---|
2 | Spare the Dying |
3 | Lesser Restoration, Seed of Life* |
5 | Aura of Vitality, Revivify |
7 | Aura of Life, Death Ward |

At 14th level, your healing ability affects more creatures. Whenever you cast a druid spell that restores hit points to a creature, you can target an additional creature of your choice that you can see within 15 feet from one of the targets. The second creature also benefits from your Soothing Magic feature.
Circle of the Moon
Selendis and Marah, the great goddesses, granted mortals long ago the "gift" (now called curse by many) of therianthropy, and while both deities later offered mortals to ride them free from their gift, some others preferred to conserve it. Some druids saw an opportunity in such power, and while they rejected the dangerous power of therianthropy, they bargained instead with Selendis. They gained the ability to transform into powerful and mighty beasts, gaining the power to protect the land during the great war of chaos (and even nowadays), tearing down their opponents with tooth and claw. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/67/55/2f/67552f09ad13a5b9d856ef6bacde0390.jpg)
Combat Wild Shape
When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain the ability to use Wild Shape on your turn as a bonus action, rather than as an action.
Additionally, while you are transformed by Wild Shape, you can use a bonus action to expend one spell slot to regain 1d8 hit points per level of the spell slot expended.
Circle Forms
Starting at 2nd level, the rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into more dangerous animal forms. 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 your druid level divided by 3, rounded down.
Primal Strike
By 6th level, your druidic magic makes your attacks in beast form to count as magical and silvered for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical and/or non-silvered attacks and damage.

masterful Transformations
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.
Also, your attacks in beast form now also count as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-adamantine attacks and damage.
Circle of the Roots
Most druids have an affinity for animal life or fungi, while some others even take a direct approach to elements or even astral bodies like the moon, the sun or even the stars. Druids that join this circle are scarce, members of a select and small group of druids that belong to a group dedicated to the protection of plants of all kind. These druids use their unique connection to plant life and mobile vegetation to protect nature on their own unique way, and even acquire the ability to transform into walking embodiments of plant matter.
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you become entangled in an unique relatinoship with plants, being able to summon them with ease. This relationship grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Roots 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 the Roots Spells
Druid Level | Spell |
---|---|
2 | Gren Thumb* |
3 | Barkskin*, Wither and Bloom |
5 | Awaken Plant*, Plant Growth |
7 | Grasping Vine, Guardian of Nature |

Verdant Walker
Starting at 2nd level your body is permanently changed by the influence of plants, granting your skin a bark-like appearance. Your unarmored defense becomes 12 + your Wisdom modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still benefit from this feature.
Also, your barklike arms make your unarmed attacks deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage, and you can use your Wisdom instead of Strength for their attack and damage rolls. You can make an unarmed attack as a bonus action on each of your turns. Starting 6th level, they count as magical for purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical damage.

Leaf Empathy
Starting at 6th level you're now capable to speak with any kind of plant. You add the Speak With Plants spell to your list of prepared spells, but doesn't counts towards the total number of spells you have prepared. You can cast it without using a spell slot once, and recover the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Also, when you roll die to restore hit points to a plant creature or a creature under the effects of a spell or feature that makes it look plant-like (like the barkskin spell or your own Verdant walker feature), you can roll twice the die and choice which result to use.
Finally, you are no longer slowed by difficult terrain made of plants (even magical ones), and you have advantage on stealth checks made to hide among any kind of vegetation.
Flesh to Wood
Starting 10th level, you can now transform yourself into plant creatures. You can now transform into any plant creature with a CR equal to 1/3 of your druid level or lower (rounded down) when using your Wild Shape feature.
If the plant form you adopt can speak and has a vaguely mortal form, you can cast any druid spell in this form as long as you have your druidic focus on hand.
Grove Warden
Starting 14th level, you can now animate the trees around you to your aid. You add the Druid Grove spell to your list of prepared spells, but doesn't counts towards the total number of spells you have prepared. You can cast it once without requiring material components, but only the Grove Guardians option.
Once you've done so, you cannot do it again until you've finished a long rest.
Circle of the Scales
While dragons were the first intelligent creatures on the land, many other creatures inhabited the world of Abbeorht on it's primal days. Enormous beasts and dreadful predators walked the land and governed the seas, and many of these creatures left their mark behind before dying. Reptilians were the first land animals, and taping into their ancient biological memory, druids from this circle can awaken the forms of ancient creatures, known by many nowadays as dinosaurs.
Reptilian Shape
When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain the ability to use Wild Shape on your turn as a bonus action, rather than as an action.
Additionally, your initiation into the circle has granted you the ability to transform into terrible scaled beasts.

Starting at 6th level, you can transform into any reptilian beast with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 3, rounded down, even those with a flying speed.
Boon of the Ancients

You can spend two uses of your Wild Shape feature to transform into any creature allowed by your Reptilian Shape feature with a CR as high as 1/2 your druid level (rounded down). When you revert to your mortal form, you gain one level of exhaustion, and cannot do so again until you've finished a long rest.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/8f/c1/df/8fc1df305039caf222dcf1c690093e62--dinosaur-art-the-dinosaurs.jpg)
Savage Attacks
Starting 14th level, your natural weapons while transformed become even more deadly. Once per turn, you can add half your druid level as a bonus to the damage roll of any natural weapon attack you make while in beast form.
Also, your attacks in beast form now also count as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-adamantine attacks and damage.
Circle of Seasons
The world of Abbeorht is dictated by seasons, that modifies one after another how nature, and even mortals, live. This also affects druidic magic, as their influence always changes and molds the wild life and nature to the essence of such. Many druids, amazed by it's changing essence, many druids have learned to control and addapt such forces into their own body and magic, forming the loose circle of seasons. Many seasonal druids remain always embracing a single season their entire life, but many others change as often as possible.
Seasonal Affinity
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you must choose a season to attune. Choose one of the following options. Your option will affect the features you gain from this and future options.
- Spring. The season of joy, warmth, love and renewal. It's joyful essence leaks into your own body and mind, granting you proficiency in the Allure skill. Also, you gain advantage on saving throws agains being charmed. Finally, you gain the Thorn Whip cantrip, but doesn't counts towards the total number of cantrips you know.
- Summer. The season of rage, heat, freedom and hunt. A warm sensation invigorates you, giving you proficiency in the Athletics skill. Also, you gain advantage on saving throws against being knocked prone, pushed or pulled. Finally, you gain the Produce Flame cantrip, but doesn't counts towards the total number of cantrips you know.
- Autumn. The season of fear, wind, harvest and death. A grim but optimist aura permeates your thoughts, granting you proficiency in the Intimidation skill. Also, you gain advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Finally, you gain the Nightmare* cantrip. It counts as a druid cantrip for you, but doesn't counts towards the total number of cantrips you know.
- Winter. The season of sadness, cold, stillness and contemplation. An everlasting chilling walks down your spine, giving you proficiency in the Insight skill. Also, you gain advantage on saving throws against being grappled or restrained. Finally, you gain the Frostbite cantrip, but doesn't counts towards the total number of cantrips you know.
Once you've chosen an option, you cannot later change it, until the moment a new season arrives, when you can decide to let it's influence change you, replacing your current seasonal affinity with the starting season. You also can change your seasonal affinity whenever you gain a new level in the druid class.
Seasonal Spells
After choosing a seasonal affinity at 2nd level, your druidic magic becomes permeated by it. This affinity grants you access to specific spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the following Spell tables.
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.
If you ever change your seasonal affinity, you immediately lose any prepared spell from the previous season, and gain those of the new one.

Circle of the Seeds
Druids are known as protectors of the nature, spellcasters that weaves magic derived of their dedication, study and protection of the wilds. Some druids receive a special calling, and a few of them answer to the ancient and sacred Grove's calling, joining the Grove Keepers. These druids belong to an order founded by the first druids that served the sacred groves of Abbeorth, weaving their magic into plants, awakening them to do their biding.
Sacred Seeds
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you can tap into the magic of your sacred grove. You receive a Magic Pouch that contains a number of Grove seeds equal to your druid level. The pouch is refilled after you have finished a long rest. It is bounded to you, and no one else can use it. If you ever lose it, you can perform a one hour long druidic ritual to create a new one during a long rest, receiving a new one when you finish it. You can have a single magic pouch, and creating a new destroys the older.
As an action, you can throw one of your seeds to an empty space within 30 feet from you to summon a plant servant. Your plant servants are loyal and friendly to you, and can be commanded with a bonus action. In combat, it shares your initiative count and take their turn immediately after yours.
You can use a bonus action to give a command to one or all of your plant servants. They will continue to follow such command until you give a new command or have completed the given order. If it has no orders to follow, it will stay on it's place and take the dodge action on it's turn.
![](https://www.gmbinder.com/images/Lg0D8sa.png)
Your plant servants use your proficiency bonus instead of theirs, You can have only a single grove servant. If you create an additional grove servant, the oldest one dies. They remain animated for 10 minutes, falling apart and leaving behind only branches and leaves. You can unweave the druidic magic that animated the servant as bonus action, destroying it.

Circle of the Shepherd
While druids of the cricle of the dreams serve the fey, those daring druids that join the circle of the Shepherd command them. They learn their circle's secrets to summon and command different creatures, while also being able to support and enhance both their allies and their summons. many of these druids take their abilities as their duty, a charge they have taken and the compromise to guide others, while those with a more selfish approach believe they have the right to govern and use others as they want. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.
Speech of the Woods
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you gain the ability to converse with beasts and many fey. You learn to speak, read, and write Sylvan.
Also, beasts can understand your speech, and you gain the ability to decipher their noises and motions. Most beasts lack the intelligence to convey or understand sophisticated concepts, but a friendly beast could relay what it has seen or heard in the recent past. This ability doesn’t grant you any special friendship with beasts.
Spirit Totem
Starting at 2nd level, you gain the ability to call forth nature spirits and use them to influence the world around you. As a bonus action, you can magically summon an incorporeal spirit in a point you can see within 60 feet of you. The spirit creates an aura in a 30-foot radius around it, and it counts as neither a creature nor an object, though it has the spectral appearance of the creature it represents. As a bonus action, you can move the spirit up to 60 feet to a point you can see.
The spirit persists for 1 minute. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
The effect of the spirit’s aura depends on the type of spirit you summon from the options below.
- Bear Spirit. The bear spirit grants you and your allies its might and endurance. Each creature of your choice in the aura when the spirit appears gains temporary hit points equal to 5 + your druid level. In addition, you and your allies gain advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws while in the aura.
- Hawk Spirit. The hawk spirit aids you and your allies with its keen sight and hunting instinct. When a creature makes an attack roll against a target in the spirit’s aura, you can use your reaction to grant advantage to that attack roll. In addition, you and your allies have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks while in the aura.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/4e/31/da/4e31da753e5695f18a245f4552372837.jpg)
- Unicorn Spirit. The unicorn spirit lends its protection to those nearby. You and your allies gain advantage on all ability checks made to detect creatures in the spirit’s aura. In addition, if you cast a spell using a spell slot that restores hit points to any creature inside or outside the aura, each creature of your choice in the aura also regains hit points equal to your druid level.
Mighty Summoner
At 6th level, beasts and fey that you conjure are more resilient than normal. Any beast or fey summoned or created by a spell that you cast gains two benefits:
- The creature appears with more hit points than normal: 2 extra hit points per Hit Die it has.
- The damage from its natural weapons is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Guardian Spirit
Beginning at 10th level, your Spirit Totem safeguards the beasts and fey that you call forth with your magic. When a beast or fey that you summoned or created with a spell ends its turn in your Spirit Totem aura, that creature regains a number of hit points equal to half your druid level.
Faithful Summons
Starting at 14th level, the nature spirits you commune with protect you when you are the most defenseless. If you are reduced to 0 hit points or are incapacitated against your will, you can immediately gain the benefits of Conjure Animals as if it were cast with a 9th-level spell slot. It summons four beasts of your choice that are challenge rating 2 or lower. The conjured beasts appear within 30 feet of you. If they receive no commands from you, they protect you from harm and attack your foes. The spell lasts for 1 hour, requiring no concentration, or until you dismiss it (no action required).
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Circle of the Spores
Fungi aren't really plants, despite many believing so. They are closer to animals than true plants, but despite this, they starngely are included among the dominion of many druids focused on plants. Amongdruids, there are some that focus directly on these organisms, and recognize their unique properties and potential: they take a vital role in the decay of living tissue, returning the nutrients of dead organisms to the land. These druids believe that life and death aren't two independent states of existence, but two phases of an eternal cycle. Druids from the Circle of the Spores use the powerful properties of fungi to enforce that balance, knowing that nor life nor death are truly eternal. The following text replaces the GGtR and TCoE's subclass entry.
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you form a symbiotic link to fungi, and their ability to tap into the cycle of life and death grants you access to certain spells. This link grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Spores Spells table.
![](https://media.magic.wizards.com/images/hero/jLssSuzzww_icon.jpg)
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.

Starting at 2nd level, your relationship with fungi allows you to maintain a symbiotic relationship with a special type of fungi that nurtures from you and helps you in combat. You can spend an use of your Wild Shape feature as a bonus action to activate this strange fungi, releasing its spores in the air, creating a mantle of spores that makes an area with a 10 feet radius around you lightly obscured. You gain the following features while this effect remains active:
- Creatures of your choice that start their turn inside the area or that come within it for the first time on their turn make a constitution saving throw. They receive 1d4 as either necrotic or poison damage (your choice) on a failure, or only half as much on a success. This damage increases as you gain levels in the druid class, to 2d4 at 8th level and 3d4 at 16th level.
- You gain temporary hit points at the start of each of your turns equal to half your druid level (rounded up).
- Your melee weapon attack within the area deal your druid level as additional necrotic or poison damage on a hit.
Incorporeal creatures (like shadows or wraiths) are immune to the damage inflicted by this feature.
This transformation remains for up to 10 minutes. It ends early if you dismiss it (no action required), are incapacitated, die, or use this feature again.
Spreading Spores
At 6th level, you gain the ability to seed an area with deadly spores. As a bonus action while your Symbiotic Fungi feature is active, you can hurl spores up to 30 feet away, where they swirl in a 10-foot cube for 1 minute. The spores disappear early if you use this feature again, if you dismiss them as a bonus action, or if your Symbiotic Entity feature is no longer active.
Whenever a creature moves into the cube or starts its turn there, that creature takes your Halo of Spores damage, unless the creature succeeds on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature can take this damage no more than once per turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Mature Mycelium
Starting 10th level, necrotic and poison damage you inflict with your druid features and circle spells ignore resistance to both necrotic and poison damage. Creatures with immunity to necrotic and poison damage instead receive half damage from your cleric features and spells. Incorporeal undead and constructs are immune to this feature.
Fungal Body
At 14th level, the fungal spores in your body alter you: you can't be blinded, deafened, frightened, or poisoned, and any critical hit against you counts as a normal hit instead, unless you're incapacitated.
Circle of Stars
Another group of druids that can, maybe, have been the first druid circle of the world, but such asseveration has little sense as Fraedus isn't a god related to the stars. These druids draw their power and magic from the cosmos and the stars, guiding morals and soothing their minds. These druids learn to read the secrets and patterns of the constellations, and, doing so, they can use the acquired knowledge to alter their form, support their allies and hurt their enemies. The following text replaces the TCoE's subclass entry.
Star Map
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in the Astronomy skill.
Also, you've created a star chart as part of your heavenly studies. It is a Tiny object and can be used as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells. You can choose its form or roll on the Star Map table.
While holding this map, you have these benefits:
- You know the Guidance cantrip.
- You have the Guiding Bolt spell prepared. It counts as a druid spell for you, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can have prepared.
- You can cast Guiding Bolt as a 1st level spell without expending a spell slot. You can do so a number of times equal to half your druid level (rounded up), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
![](https://www.wargamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/dnd-5e-druid-circle-of-stars.jpg)
If you lose the map, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony during a short or long rest to magically create a replacement. This ceremony destroys the previous map.
d4 | Map Form |
---|---|
1 | A scroll covered with depictions of constellations |
2 | A stone tablet with fine holes drilled through it |
3 | A crystal that projects starry patterns when placed before a light |
4 | Glass disks that depict constellations |
Starry Form
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to harness constellations’ power to alter your form. As a bonus action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to take on a starry form, rather than transforming into a beast. While in your starry form, your body becomes luminous; your joints glimmer like stars, and glowing lines connect them as on a star chart. This form sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet and lasts lasts for 10 minutes. It ends early if you dismiss it (no action required), are incapacitated, die, or use this feature again.
Whenever you assume your starry form, choose which of the following constellations glimmers on your body; your choice gives you certain benefits while in the form:
- Archer. A constellation of an archer appears on you. When you activate this form, and as a bonus action on your subsequent turns while it lasts, you can make a ranged spell attack, hurling a luminous arrow that targets one creature within 60 feet of you. On a hit, the attack deals radiant damage equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier.
![](https://i.redd.it/d927k58tono41.png)
- Chalice. A constellation of a life-giving goblet appears on you. Whenever you cast a spell using a spell slot that restores hit points to a creature, you or another creature within 30 feet of you can regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier.
- Dragon. A constellation of a wise dragon appears on you. When you make an Intelligence or a Wisdom check or a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, you can treat a roll of 9 or lower on the d20 as a 10.
You can change the constellation as an action on each of your turns while this form remains active.
Cosmic Omen
Starting 6th level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can consult your Star Map for omens. When you do so, roll a die. Until you finish your next long rest, you gain access to a special reaction based on whether you rolled an even or an odd number on the die:
- Weal (even). Whenever a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is about to make an attack roll, a saving throw, or an ability check, you can use your reaction to roll a d6 and add the number rolled to the total.
- Woe (odd). Whenever a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is about to make an attack roll, a saving throw, or an ability check, you can use your reaction to roll a d6 and subtract the number rolled from the total.
You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Twinkling Constellations
At 10th level, the constellations of your Starry Form improve. The 1d8 of the Archer and the Chalice becomes 2d8, and while the Dragon is active, you have a flying speed of 20 feet and can hover.
Moreover, at the start of each of your turns while in your Starry Form, you can change which constellation glimmers on your body.
Full of Stars
At 14th level, while in your Starry Form, you become partially incorporeal, giving you resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
Circle of Stones
Most druids dedicate their lives and efforts to the protections of plants and living creatures, but a circle of druids prefers to work not with the living beings of the land, but the land itself. Most of these druids take their dominions of mountains, cliffs, desserts or even on the deep of the underdark. They develop a unique union not only with stone, but the erath as well, and use such ability to their own advantage.
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, your connection to stone and soil is strengthened, letting you produce some changes on it as if it were an innate ability. This connection grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Stones 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 Stones Spells
Druid Level | Spell |
---|---|
2 | Mold Earth |
3 | Earthbind, Maximillian's Earthen Grasp |
5 | Erupting Earth, Meld into Stone |
7 | Stone Shape, Stoneskin |
9 | Transmute Rock, Wall of Stone |
Stone Shape
Also, at 2nd level, you gain the ability to transform your flesh into stone. You can spend an use of your Wild shape feature to gain resistance to acid, cold, fire, and thunder damage, as well as against nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage and immunity to being petrified. While in this form, your unarmed strikes deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your strength modifier on a hit. If you aren't wielding any weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8.
![](https://koboldpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Deep-Magic-Mountain-Druid.jpg)
You can use your Wisdom instead of Strength for both attack and damage rolls for your unarmed attacks.
This feature remains for 10 minutes. It ends early if you dismiss it (no action required), are incapacitated, die, or use this feature again.
Soil Ear
Starting at 6th level you can now use your connection to the stone to sense the land around you. You gain tremorsense with a range of 60 feet.
Also, you cannot be surprised as long as you're in contact with a solid surface.
Soil Stride
Starting at 10th level, you can now meld into the land around you, moving with ease through it. You can use a bonus action you can meld into any stone, mineral, or soil surface and reappear from the same surface up to 60 feet away. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). You regain all uses after a long rest.
Petrous Body and Mind
Starting 14th level, while you're on your Stone Shape, you have advantage on constitution saving throws, as well as resistance to magical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.
Also, once between long rests, you can use a bonus action to spend two uses of your Wild Shape feature to transform yourself into an Earth Elemental.
Circle of the Storms
Most druids, even those who are evil intended, have a calm and stoic nature, but there are some druids that are known exactly for the opposite reason. Most of those druids have such tempers because of their long exposure and dedication to the study and control of storms. These druids, who belong unsurprisingly to the circle of the Storms, use their magic to channel electricity and thunderstorms to protect the land and not only harm their enemies, but fry them with lightning.
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, your connection to stone and soil is strengthened, letting you produce some changes on it as if it were an innate ability. This connection grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Storms 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 the Storms Spells
Druid Level | Spell |
---|---|
2 | Gust |
3 | Conductive Flesh*, Skywrite |
5 | Call Lightning, Lightning Bolt |
7 | Freedom of Movement, Storm Sphere |
9 | Control Winds, Far Step |
Stormcaller
Also at 2nd level, you gain the ability to call brief surges of channeled storms. As an action, you target a creature you can see within 120 feet from you, targeting it with a lightning produced from your finger tips. The target must make a dexterity saving throw against your spell DC, receiving 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier as lightning damage on a failure and losing it's ability to take reactions until the beginning of your next turn, or half as much on a success without losing it's reaction. The damage inflicted increases as you gain levels in the druid class. It increases to 2d8 at 6th level, 3d8 at 10th level and 4d8 at 14th level.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5b/00/3a/5b003aa37d0d36e361562943451cba58.jpg)
Channeler
Starting 6th level, you can produce arcing lightning with your spells. When you inflict lightning damage to a creature with your action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to produce an arc of electricity against another creature within 15 feet from the target. If the target fails a dexterity saving throw against your spell DC, it receives half the amount of lightning damage you inflicted to the first.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Stormborn
At 10th level, your continuous exposure to storms has granted you resistance to lightning damage.
Also, whenever you cast a druid spell of 1st or higher level, you gain a magical flying speed equal to your walking speed that remains for number of rounds equal to the spell's level + 1.
Herald of the Storm
Starting 14th level, you gain access to a powerful manifestation of storm magic. You add the Chain Lightning spell to your list of prepared spells, but doesn't count towards the total number of spells you can prepare. It counts as a spell druid for you.
Also, once between long rests, you can use a bonus action to spend two uses of your Wild Shape feature to transform yourself into an Air Elemental.
Circle of the Sun
As other druids can draw power from different sources, members of this select and small circle are sworn protectors not only of nature and life, but from civilization. Belenus granted a small number of these primal spellcasters the knowledge to use sunlight as a powerful weapon, while also granting them the martial training needed to battle toe to toe with their allies. They actively work to purge monsters and threats to life from their lands, blessing others and smiting their enemies with zealous magic.
Solar Guardian
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you can draw strength from the sun. You gain proficiency with martial weapons.
Also, you can spend an use of your wild shape feature as a bonus action to create a magical armor made of shining plants that grants you the following advantages:
- It counts as a heavy armor you're proficient with that grants you an AC of 13 + your Wisdom modifier, that has a damage reduction of 3 against fire, radiant, bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage. You can use a shield and still benefit from this feature.
- You can use the armor as a druidic focus.
- You shed bright light in a 15 feet radius, and dim light in 15 additional feet.
- You can use your Wisdom instead of strength for your melee weapon and unarmed attacks, and can use your Wisdom score to met any strength requirement of weapons you use.
![](https://www.dmsguild.com/images/8957/182707.jpg)
This armor remains for 10 minutes. It ends early if you don the armor as a bonus action or use this feature again.
Bright Magic
Starting 2nd level, you can change the damage of any druid spell you cast that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning necrotic or poison damage to radiant damage.
You can do so a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) and recover all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Also, you learn the light cantrip. It counts as druid cantrips for you but doesn't count towards the total number of cantrips you know.
Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Daylight Blessing
Starting 10th level, the light you irradiate comforts others. Creatures of your choice (including you) that start their turn inside the light produced by your Solar Guardian feature gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Also, your melee attacks deal 1d4 radiant damage against creatures on a hit while you're under the effects of your Solar Guardian feature. This damage increases to 1d6 at 14th level.
Solar Might
Starting 14th level, you gain a +1 to your Solar Guardian's AC and damage reduction.
Also, you always have prepared the Solar's Arrow* spell. It counts as a druid spell for you, and doesn't count towards the total number of spells you have prepared.
Circle of the Tides
Druids from the circle of tides are benevolent healers and protectors that learn to control water around them to fulfill their role, excelling at preventing harm. Derived from their unique relationship to water, these druids usually are found around lakes, coastlines and rivers, but many others inhabit strange lands like snowy mountains, cold tundras or even humid jungles and swamps.
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, the rites of initiation have lended you the wisdom and knowledge to control water and use it to protect the life it sustains. This connection grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of the Tides 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 the Tides Spells
Druid Level | Spell |
---|---|
2 | Shape Water |
3 | Lesser Restoration, Water Stream* |
5 | Tidal Wave, Wall of Water |
7 | Control Water, Watery Sphere |
9 | Greater Restoration, Mass Cure Wounds |
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ad/38/12/ad38128b9f05f43afac0dee903af06af.jpg)
Aquatic Forms
Starting 2nd level, you can now ignore the swimming restriction for your Wild Shape feature. You still must abide to the level restriction for creatures with flying speed.
Water Shield
Starting 2nd level, your connection to the water grants you the ability to shape it to protect life. You gain a pool of d8s with a number equal to your druid level. When you or any creature you can see within 60 feet from you is hit by an attack roll that inflicts any kind of damage but psychic damage, you can use your reaction to spend a number of these d8s up to half your druid level (rounded up) to create a shield of mist, ice or water around it (if there are available any of those materials). The shield reduces the damage taken equal to the number rolled on the die, down to 0.
You regain all spent dice when you finish a long rest.
One With the Tides
At 6th level, you feel safer in water than land. You gain a swimming speed equal to your walking speed, and can also breath both air and water. You are no longer affected by difficult terrain made of water on any of it's forms.
Finally, you gain the ability to communicate with any beast creature with a natural swimming speed, as if you were under the effects of the Speak With Animals spell.
Renewing Waves
At 10th level, the healing and protective properties of your waters has reached it's peak. Whenever you restore hit points or grant temporary hit points with a druid spell or feature to a creature, you can, as part of the same action, allow the creature to repeat a saving throw against a blinded, deafened, paralyzed, petrified or poisoned condition, ending the effect on a success. You can instead immediately cure a creature from a non magical disease it is suffering.
Master of the Waters
Starting 14th level, the size of your Water Shield dice becomes d10s instead of d8s.
Also, once between long rests, you can use a bonus action to spend two uses of your Wild Shape feature to transform yourself into a Water Elemental.
Circle of the Thorns
During the great war of chaos, many lives were reaped: mortals, animals and plants alike, and even the mighty physical form of the oak-god Fraedus was destroyed by the armies of chaos. Those scarce druids who survived the bloody battle found the fallen tree that Fraedus used to be, and swored an oath of vengance to its killers, forming the circle of the thorns, a circle dedicated to retaliate against anyone who hurts nature. Long ago, that oath was fulfilled, but the circle remained, not protecting nature, but avenging it.
Nature's Warrior
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you have taken an oath to become a warrior of nature. You gain proficiency with martial weapons.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7d/7e/cf/7d7ecf9f59985a4a6dcc0c4b31052196.jpg)
You can use any melee weapon made of bone, wood or ironwood you're proficient with as a druidic focus, and can use your Wisdom for both attack and damage rolls instead of Strength with melee weapons. If any melee weapon made of these materials has a Strength requirement, you can use your Wisdom score to determine if you can correctly use it.
Finally, your hit points maximum increases by 2, and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.
Thorny Skin
At 2nd level, your body melds with the thorns you have attuned to. You can use a bonus action to expend one use of your Wild Shape feature to grow thick vines and thorns round your body, gaining the following features:
- While wearing no shield and no armor you have an unarmored defense of 13 + your Wisdom modifier, with a damage reduction of 2 against bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.
- When a creature hits you with a melee attack, your body inflicts magical piercing damage to the attacker equal to half your Wisdom modifier (rounded up).
- You gain temporary hit points at the beginning of each of your turns equal to half your druid level (rounded up)
This effect remains for 10 minutes, and ends early if you use a bonus action to deactivate it or die.
Extra Attack
Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Piercing Magic
Starting 10th level, you can efficiently combine your martial prowess with your spellcasting. When you cast a spell as your action on your turn, you can immeidately make a melee unarmed or weapon attack as a bonus action.
Thorn Master
At 14th level, you add the Wall of Thorns spell to your list of prepared spells, but doesn't count towards the total number of spells you can prepare. When you cast it, you can designate certain creatures to be able to move through the wall as difficult terrain without harming effects.
Circle of Vermin
Those gross, toxic and plague bearers beasts like rats and insects are also part of nature. They do their part in maintaining certain balance, eating carrion and corpses, degrading dead matter and hunting certain animals. Most people is disgusted by them and even fear those creatures, but there are some druids that see the beauty of such creatures, and recognize their utility and importance on the world. Forging a deep relationship with vermin, druids of this gross cricle can use them to protect the land.
![](https://c4.wallpaperflare.com/wallpaper/647/41/187/magic-the-gathering-women-insect-fantasy-art-wallpaper-preview.jpg)
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you acquire a special relationship with insects and vermin of the land. This relationship grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Vermin 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 Vermin Spells
Druid Level | Spell |
---|---|
2 | Infestation |
3 | Spider Climb, Spider Hand* |
5 | Arachnid Rain*, Fly |
7 | Giant Insect, Swarm Form* |
9 | Cloudkill, Contagion |
Loyal Swarm
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you have attracted a swarm of different types of vermin that live inside you, sharing your nutrients and granting you different abilities:
- Plague Components. You can use your own swarm to provide material components that come from vermin, like for the Spider Climb spell.
- Poisonous Shot. You can call your swarm and order it to attack a creature within 60 feet of you. As an action, you can make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, you deal 1d4 magical piercing damage + 1d4 poison damage. This damage increases both to 1d6 at 14th druid level.
- Protective Swarm. When you receive non psychic damage, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage you take by half your druid level (rounded up) + 1d6.
You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest, as you allow your swarm to replenish it's numbers.
Vicious Swarm
Starting 6th level, your swarm becomes more vicious. You can attack twice when using your Poisonous Shot feature.
Vermin Tolerance
Starting 10th level, you have a perfect symbiotic relationship between your swarm and yourself. You gain immunity to poison damage, as well as to non-magical diseases and to the poisoned condition.
Also, poison damage you inflict with both your Infestation cantrion or your Loyal Swarm feature now ignores resistance and immunity to poison damage. Undead and constructs are immune to this feature.
Devouring Vermin
Starting 14th level, the vermin living inside you can thrive in the flesh of other creatures. When you reduce a biological creature of large or smaller size to 0 hit points with this attack, you can use your bonus action to make the vermin stay on the corpse of the creature. If you do so, the corpse is rapidly devoured, and the vermin return to you if you are within 60 feet of it at the beginning of your next turn, healing you for a number of hit points equal to the amount of hit dice the creature had.
When you use this feature, you can instead recover one expended use of your Protective Swarm feature
Circle of Wildfire
Plants and wildlife is highly vulnerable to fire. Alas, natural wildfires occur all across the world, putting in danger those who live in the wilderness, as destruction of their homes usually is secured as the fire approaches them. Some druids recognize such disasters as part of nature, and know that, with enough time, life can reborn from the ashes. They learn that fire is not the only disaster that affects nature, and members of the circle of Wildfire use fire to devastate their enemies, but know that no threat can be eliminated forever, and sooner or later, their lands will be threatened again. The following text replaces the TCoE's subclass entry.
Circle Spells
When you join this circle at 2nd level, you have understood the connection between fire and renewal, granting you insight into the life cycle.
This insight grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of Wildfire 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 Wildfire Spells
Druid Level | Spell |
---|---|
2 | Control Flames |
3 | Flaming Sphere, Scorching Ray |
5 | Plant Growth, Revivify |
7 | Fire Shield, Heat Aura* |
9 | Flame Strike, Mass Cure Wounds |
Summon Wildfire Spirit
At 2nd level, You can summon the primal spirit bound to your soul. As an action, you can expend one use of your Wild Shape feature to summon your wildfire spirit, rather than assuming a beast form. The spirit appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.
Each creature of your choice within 10 feet of the spirit when it appears must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take 1d6 + your druid level as fire damage.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/43/9b/90/439b90741626390b7f0d248f1a665816.jpg)
The spirit is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Wildfire Spirit stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the spirit's appearance. Some spirits take the form of a humanoid figure made of gnarled branches covered in flame, while others look like beasts wreathed in fire.
In combat, the spirit shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the spirit can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
It remains for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the spirit again, or if you die.
Enhanced Bond
At 6th level, whenever you cast a spell that deals fire damage or restores hit points while your wildfire spirit is summoned, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus equal to the number rolled to one damage or healing roll of the spell.
This die increases to 1d10 at 14th druid level.
In addition, when you cast a spell with a range other than self, the spell can originate from you or your wildfire spirit.
Cauterizing Flames
At 10th level, you gain the ability to turn death into magical flames that can heal or incinerate. When a Small or larger creature dies within 30 feet of you or your wildfire spirit, a harmless spectral flame springs forth in the dead creature's space and flickers there for 1 minute.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/67/d7/c1/67d7c1389cd1913385c90d6f46c7cdc0.png)
When a creature you can see enters that space, you can use your reaction to extinguish the spectral flame there and either heal the creature or deal fire damage to it. The healing or damage equals 1d6 + half your druid level (rounded up)
You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a ahort or long rest.
Blazing Revival
At 14th level, the bond with your wildfire spirit can save you from death. If the spirit is within 120 feet of you when you are reduced to 0 hit points but not outright killed, you can cause the spirit to drop to 0 hit points and dissapear.
If you do so, you regain half your hit points and immediately rise to your feet without provoking opportunity attacks if you were knocked prone.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Also, once between long rests, you can use a bonus action to spend two uses of your Wild Shape feature to transform yourself into a Fire Elemental.

Fighter
Infantry, cavalry, commanders, defenders, hunters, marksmans, skirmishers and executors. Fighters can take any of those and many more roles in any army, town guard, mercenary group or adventurer company. They serve as the the center and support of said groups, controlling the battlefield, supporting and inspiring their allies and finishing their enemies with swift and precise strikes. They may lack a zealous fervor, an unending rage, magical tricks, powerful spells or divine miracles, but they require none of those things, as they are masters in the use of all kind of armors, shields and weapons, striking with an abnormal speed and accesing inner reserves of energy. Monks claim that these warriors know to unconciously tap into their inner ki, and many have offered themselves to train them in the arts of ki, but most fighters only really care for a single thing: Being efficient at battle.

Fighter Archetype: Cavalier
Some warriors specialize in different types of combat. While many fight on their feet, there are some fighters that come from elite groups, noble origin or nomad tribes, that specialize in fighting while mounted in different types of creatures. These warriors, known as either cavaliers, riders or wranglers, use their superiority and increased speed to fight with ease across the battlefield. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.

Also, you learn to speak, read, and write 1 additional common language of your choice.
Born to the Saddle
Starting at 3rd level, your mastery as a rider becomes apparent. You have advantage on saving throws made to avoid falling off your mount. If you fall off your mount and descend no more than 10 feet, you can land on your feet if you’re not incapacitated.
Finally, mounting or dismounting a creature costs you only 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed.
Unwavering Mark
Starting at 3rd level, If you hit a creature with an unarmed attack or a melee weapon attack, you can mark the creature until the end of your next turn.
This effect ends early if you are incapacitated or you die, or if someone else marks the creature.
While within 5 feet of you, a creature marked by you has disadvantage on any attack roll that doesn't target you.
In addition, if a creature marked by you deals damage to anyone other than you, you can make a special unarmed or melee weapon attack against the marked creature as a bonus action on your next turn. You have advantage on the attack roll, and if it hits, the attack roll deals extra damage to the target equal to one roll of your superiority dice.

Hold the Line
At 10th level, you become a master of locking down your enemies. Creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they move 5 feet or more while within your reach, and if you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, the target's speed is reduced to 0 until the end of the current turn.

The creature has disadvantage on it's saving throw if you're mounted when you hit it.
Vigilant Defender
Starting at 18th level, you respond to danger with extraordinary vigilance. In combat, you get a special reaction that you can take once on every creature's turn, except your's. You can use this special reaction only to make an opportunity attack, and you can't use it on the same turn that you take your normal reaction but only if you didn't use your reaction to make an opportunity attack.
Fighter Archetype: Champion
Many fighters focus on improving their dominion of the battle field with different strategies or learning to use their armors, weapons and shields with mastery. These fighters instead train their bodies to the limit of their mortal bodies, improving their chances of survival and thus, their ability to bring down their enemies with their superior strength. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.

Fighter Archetype: Echo Knight
Some warriors come to realize, sometimes trough magic, sometimes by accident, that all creatures have an spiritual echo, a part of ourselves that inhabit the shadowfell. Some of these warriors are purposely trained in said ways, learning to contact with this echo, and use it in battle to increase their martial prower. These warriors are common among elite squads of dragonborns and some cave dwarves, and isn't uncommon for ravenites to discover this path on their own. The following text replaces the EGtW's subclass entry.
Manifest Echo
At 3rd level, you can use a bonus action to magically manifest an echo of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This echo is a magical, translucent, gray image of you that lasts until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, until you manifest another echo, or until you're incapacitated.
Your echo has AC 14 + your Constitution modifier (minimum 1), 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. If it has to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. On your turn, you can mentally command the echo to move up to your walking speed in any direction (no action required). If you end your with your echo further than a number of feets equal to 5 times your fighter level, it is destroyed.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/03/ec/3a/03ec3a6223ef4ad59320c342c6e6ac72.jpg)

- As a bonus action, you can magically swap places with your echo at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you.
- When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the echo's space. You make this choice for each attack.
Unleash Incarnation
At 3rd level, you can heighten your echo's fury. Whenever you take the Attack action, you can use your bonus action to make one additional melee attack from the echo's position, inflicting a superiority die + your Strength or Dexterity modifier on a hit (whichever was used on the attack roll).
This attack has all the properties that your weapon might have (like being magical).
Echo Avatar
Starting at 7th level, you can temporarily transfer your consciousness to your echo. As an action, you can see through your echo's eyes and hear through its ears. During this time, you are deafened and blinded. You can sustain this effect for up to 10 minutes, and you can end it at any time (requires no action). While your echo is being used in this way, it can be up to a number of feet equal to 100 times your fighter level away from you without being destroyed.
Shadow Martyr
Starting at 10th level, you can make your echo throw itself in front of an attack directed at another creature that you can see.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Reclaim Potential
By 15th level, you've learned to absorb the fleeting magic of your echo. When an echo of yours is destroyed by taking damage, you can gain a number of temporary hit points equal to 2d6 + your Constitution modifier, provided you don't already have temporary hit points.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Legion of One
At 18th level, you can use a bonus action to create two echos with your Manifest Echo feature, and these echoes can co-exist. If you try to create a third echo, the previous two echoes are destroyed. Anything you can do from one echo's position can be done from the other's instead.
Also, if you roll initiative and have no uses of your Unleash Incarnation feature left, you regain one use of that feature.
Fighter Archetype: Eldritch Warrior
Some warriors realize that their weapons alone might not be enough to defeat their most powerful enemies. Eventually, some of these warriors study and learn about eldritch entities, powerful and otherwordly creatures that can grant power and magic in exchange for a pact.
Many of them end up contacting those entities, but sometimes, they are contacted by these quasi-divine creatures or their agents. Being imbued by their patrons with an eldritch energy known as mana, these warriors gain access to forbidden abilities to most mortals, but sometimes, the cost might be much more higher than they even realized.
Pact Magic
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, the pact you made with your patron grants you the ability to cast eldritch spells. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 of the Player’s Handbook for the Warlock spell list.

Starting at 18th level, your fighting spirit can delay the grasp of death. If you take damage that reduces you to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to delay falling unconscious, and you can immediately take an extra turn, interrupting the actual turn. While you have 0 hit points during that extra turn, taking damage causes death saving throw failures as normal, and three death saving throw failures can still kill you.
When the extra turn ends, the turn you interrupted is resumed and you fall unconscious if you still have 0 hit points.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you've finished a long rest.
Fighter Archetype: Scoundrel
Not all fighters train to be honorable knights or respectable and admired members of their communities and organizations. Some know that taking advantage of any opportunity is vital to survive combat, and some of them focus on provoking such opportunities, fighting dirty, escape through small openings on enemy formations, punish targets for their carelessness and mistakes and even using others as living shields.

Leading big groups of frightened, tired and wounded warriors can result in certain defeat. Armies rely on leaders such as bannerets to keep the morale high, but the true heroes and masterminds behind every achieved victory are tacticians, experimented warriors that use their superior intellect and their ability to foresee trouble to strike true against their enemies, planing ahead, and ultimately guaranteeing if not victory, at least survival for their troops with the least amount of casualties and material loses possible.

Fighter Archetype: Templar
Not all blessed knights who strive to protect the common folk are obligated to follow the oaths of paladins. Some mortals begin their training at very young ages in mighty fortress-temples (hence "Templars") to battle against evil and spellcasters. They develop some special abilities that allow them to fight evil and inspire their comrades, as they pass for an initiation rite that infuses them with a rare formula made of Vecanite and Orichalcum.
![](https://hdwallpaperim.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/23/464166-Templar-warrior-fantasy_art.jpg)
These warriors, very popular and respected all across Arivanthor, are experts at fighting evil doers and deranged witches and warlocks who prey upon us all.

Spell Purge
At 10th level, your weapons can now dispell magic.

You can use this feature once and recover the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Fighter Archetype: War Tinkerer
Soldiers need weapons, armors and siege machinery, objects that have slowly become necessary and indispensable to fight at par against their enemies. Few individuals have the needed intelligence and creativity, as well as the martial prowess to fight toe to toe with others as well as to provide support and enhancements for the troops. These valuable soldiers, known as gadgeteers, tinkerers or war engineers are highly valuable for armies around the world, and are extremely rare outside of armies and nations controlled or composed mainly by gnomes, sun elves or hobgoblins, and can be sometimes found serving as extremely expensive mercenaries, both contracted and offered by the city states of Sapphire Hold and Tagum Karath.
Inventive Knack
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with tinker's tools.
Also, you learn the mending cantrip. You can use your tinker's tools as a spellcasting focus for it.
Modular Weapon
Starting 3rd level, you can work over the course of two hours during a long rest as long as you have tinker's tools with you to create a special modular weapon. This weapon has the weight and strength requirement of the heavier weapon and can include any two different weapons of your choice without the Especial or Scatter properties. You can replace any of these weapons working again on it during a long rest as long as you have your tinker's tools.
If you combine a weapon with the Light property with weapons without it, it loses such property. If you combine a Heavy weapon in the modular weapon, all weapons on it gain that property.
If any of the weapons included on your modular weapon has a special property, like being silvered, magical or adamantine, all of them gain the same property. Special effects of magical weapons, like a +1 whip or a Dragon Slayer handaxe only apply to the weapon that posses it.
Magical Weapons requiring attunement must be attuned first before including them on your modular weapon, and each of them occupies a slot for attuned items.
You can change once between these weapons on each of your turns without requiring an action. Instead, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to change to another weapon within your modular weapon and immediately make an attack as part of the same bonus action. This weapon has a series of strange mechanism designed by you, making this property only usable by you (although other creatures can still use the active weapon at a time).
You can include a third additional weapon in your modular weapon at 15th fighter level.
You can have a single modular weapon created in this way, and creating a new one causes the first one to fall apart.
Tinkerer Infusions
Starting 7th level, you've learned how to imbue certain items to enhance them with your tinkering abilities. You learn two infusions from those available to the artificer class. These infusions cannot replicate spells, and you cannot choose the Replicate Magic Item infusion. If any of these infusions has a level prerequisite, you use your fighter level for this purpose.
You learn one additional artificer infusion at 10th, 15th and 18th fighter level. You can change any of these infusions when you gain a new level in the fighter class.
You can infuse items abiding to the same rules as those of the Infuse item feature of the artificer class. You can have two items infused at 7th level, and can imbue additional items as you gain levels in this class. You can have three infused items at 10th level, and four at 18th fighter level.
If you infuse your modular weapon, all weapons included in it benefit from the same infusion, but you can only grant a single infusion to this weapon as normal and only if it isn't magical already.
Additional Creations
By 10th level, you have enough proficiency to maintain two modular weapons, allowing you to create a second one.
![](https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/covers/images/046/558/109/large/jeshua-turpo-jeshua-turpo-pya-ilustracao-completa.jpg?1645414791)
Infused Module
Starting 15th level, you can now technologically infuse your modular weapon even if it is already magical or has other infusions. You gain the ability of replace one of the slots for weapons in your modular weapon with a single infusion of your choice using one of your available infusions.
This infusion is special, as it requires a slot of your attuned items, even if the original infusion doesn't requires one. If it already requires one, it instead occupies two slots.
You can do so only once per modular weapon.
Improved Modular Weapons
Starting 18th level, you can further improve your modular weapon. Your Modular Weapon shares now special bonuses from weapons. For example, if it includes a +2 shortsword, all weapons on the modular weapon gain a +2 to both attack and damage rolls, replacing lower bonuses.
Other magical properties still only apply to the weapon they belong to.
Monk
Not all warriors depend on deadly blades, thick armors, agile shields or sharp claws. Some develop their way of fighting by using only their bodies, a strange ability that only few selected mortals can achieve. This training, known as the way of ki, drives mortals to become simple students of the way, learning slowly how to use their own bodies as weapons, and eventually, develop a relationship with their own soul so deep that many of them end up being able to tap into their own vital force, this so called ki. Monks that learn how to use this energy become fearsome opponents, able to rain countless strikes over their enemies with the velocity of the lightning. They may be dangerous rivals, but in fact, many of them prefer the pacifist way and only fight as a last resource, developing different techniques to incapacitate their enemies quickly, mostly avoiding dealing lethal damage to them. Those who achieve ultimate control over their bodies become living legends, capable of feats so impossible than no other mortal will be capable of without magic.

Unarmored Defense
Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, you can choose one way to calculate your AC.
- Learning to dodge attacks, you can calculate your AC as 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.
- Being accustomed to pain, your AC equals 10 + twice your Constitution modifier.
Either way, you have a damage reduction of 1 against all types of damage but force and psychic damage.
You can change the way you calculate your unarmored defense whenever you gain a new level in the monk class.
Martial Arts
At 1st level, your meditation and physical training has turned your body into a whole deadly weapon, as well as granting you the ability to wield some weapons, known as monk weapons, that are any simple melee weapons, claws, double clubs, shortwsords and rope darts, that also lack the two-handed or heavy properties.
You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield:
- You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
- You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
- When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.
Unarmored Movement
At 1st level, your speed increases by 5 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain monk levels, as shown in the Monk table.
Ki
Starting at 2nd level, your training and meditation allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki that flows in your body, which you can tap into to fuel special Ki Techniques.
Ki Points
You gain access to this mystical energy, that is represented by a number of ki points equal to twice your monk level.
When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points.
Ki Techniques Known
Monks learn along their training to produce powerful and amazing effects, impossible to most mortals. Many of these techniques are developed to be used in combat, but many others are developed to cover more mundane tasks.
At 2nd level, you know two Techniques of your choice from the list at the end of this class description. The Monk table shows when you learn more Techniques of your choice. Each time you gain a monk level, you can choose a Technique you know and replace it with another Technique of your choice.
Ki Saving Throws
Techniques rely on your mastery of body and spirit, and grow in proportion to your self-control. When a Technique requires a saving throw, its saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Technique Save DC
Flurry of Blows
Starting 2nd level, you can tap into your ki to strike multiple times in a pinch. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 Ki Point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action on that same turn instead of only one.
Monastic Tradition
When you reach 3rd level, you commit your soul to the teachings of a specific monastic tradition among the 13 known ways of Abbeorht. This tradition grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 11th, and 17th level.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Ki-Fueled Attack
Also at 5th level, if you spend 1 ki point or more as part of your action on your turn, you can make one attack with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon as a bonus action before the end of the turn.
Ki-Empowered Strikes
Starting at 6th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage.
Spirit of Tranquility
By 7th level, your connection to your soul enhances your defenses. Whenever you make a saving throw you're not proficient in while you are conscious, you gain a bonus to your roll equal to half your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).

Improved Unarmored Movement
Starting 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/94/06/d0/9406d0fa571ddd7be59d2824ace474e7.jpg)
Purity of Body
At 10th level, the ki flowing through your body makes you immune to non-magical diseases and to the poisoned condition.
Evasion
At 13th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon'slightning breath or a fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Timeless Body
At 14th level, your ki sustains you so that you suffer none of the frailty of old age, and you can't be aged magically. You can still die of old age, however. In addition, you no longer need food or water.
Adamantine Self
At 15th level, your ki makes your body astonishingly resilient. You gain a +1 bonus to your unarmored defense. Also, your unarmed strikes count as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-adamantine attacks and damage.
Burst of Blows
At 18th level, your flurry of blows feature becomes even faster, allowing you to make three attacks instead of two.
Diamond Soul
When you reach 20th level, you have achieved total dominion and control of the kki flowing through you. You gain proficiency in all saving throws.
Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 ki point to reroll it and take the second result.
Monk Techniques Options
Here are presented in alphabetical and level order the techniques available to monks to learn from. These techniques cost 1 ki point to use, unless stated otherwise. If a monk Technique has a level prerequisite, you cannot learn it until you've met the required level.
2nd Level Techniques
These are common techniques, and masters use them as methods of teaching the correct and efficient way of using ki to their initiates. When a student dominates at least one of these, it is considered a disciple and not only an initiate.
Acrobatic Strike
You can use the ki to move with ease around your enemy. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with your Martial Arts feature, you can decide to move to any space around the creature within 10 feet from you without provoking opportunity attacks.
Agile Lock
You have learned to quickly immobilize your opponent without harming it. You can attempt a grapple attack using Dexterity instead of Strength as your attack ability.
Crippling Strike
You can target specific parts of your target's body, blocking the flow of ki. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with your Martial Arts feature, you can force the creature to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is either blinded, deafened, or muted (your choice) until the beginning of your next turn.
Deflect Missiles
You can augment your reflexes through the use of ki. As a reaction, you can try to catch or deflect a projectile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by your monk level + your martial arts die + your Dexterity modifier.
If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend an additional ki point to make a ranged attack with a range of 20/60 using the caught projectile, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack.
Disarming Strike
Your strikes can easily disarm your enemies, putting them at disadvantage against you. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with your Martial Arts feature, you can force the creature to make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is disarmed. You can then choose to either drop the weapon at it's feet, send it flying 10 feet away or take it with you. A creature one or more sizes larger than you has advantage on it's saving throw.
Focused Aim
You can quickly correct the trajectory of your attacks, imprinting additional power on them. When you miss with an unarmed attack roll, you can spend a number of ki points up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) to increase your attack roll by 2 for each of these ki points you spend, potentially turning the miss into a hit. You then add a +1 to the damage roll for each spent ki point in this way.
Imbued Weapon
You've learned to imbue your ki into any kind of weapon with the objective of practice your martial arts with it. Once between short or long rests, you can touch any weapon that mets the following requisites:
- It must be either a simple or martial weapon.
- You must be proficient with it.
- It must lack the heavy and especial properties.
If you are able to maintain contact for at least 1 minute while meditating, the weapon becomes a monk weapon for you. You can only have a single imbued weapon at once, and imbuing a new one makes the first one to lose this property.
Knocking Strike
You can augment the flow of ki on your attacks to easily destabilize your opponents. Once per turn, when you hit a creature one size larger than you or smaller with an unarmed strike, you can force the creature to make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is either knocked prone or pushed a number of feet up to 5 times your Wisdom modifier (minimum 5) without provoking opportunity attacks (your choice).
Patient Defense
You augment your reflexes, being able to take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.
Slow Fall
You can now channel ki on your feet to attempt to slow down any fall you suffer. Any falling damage you would take is reduced by an amount equal to five times your monk level, so long as you are conscious. If you reduce the fall damage to 0 you land on your feet.
Staggering Strike
You can interfere with the flow of ki on your enemies. Once per turn when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can make your target roll a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, all it's speeds are reduced by a number of feet equal to 5 times your Wisdom modifier (minimum 5 feet), down to 0.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4a/93/a6/4a93a63e95532dd5b261171fc477d527.png)
Step of the Wind
You can accelerate your movement, being able to take either the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on your turn. if you do so, your jumping distance is doubled until the ending of your current turn.
6th Level Techniques
Techniques of this level are advanced ones, but highly dedicated disciples can find themselves learning them after long times of training and dedication. When a disciple dominates at least one of these, it is considered an adept.
Bane Strikes
You can imbue ki into your unarmed strikes to harm resilient creatures. Your unarmed attacks count as both silvered and cold-iron for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunities to damage.
The effect remains for one minute with each use.
Blind Sense
Spending 2 ki points, you gain blindsight with a range of 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.
This effect remains for up to 10 minutes or until you fall unconscious.
Enhanced Physique
You can accelerate the flow of ki on your body to increase your physical efficiency. When you make an Athletics or Acrobatics skill check, you can add your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) as a bonus to the roll before rolling.
Martial Duelist
You have trained to excel into single combat on one versus one encounters. When you target a creature that has no allied creatures within 5 feet of it, and you have no allied creatures within 5 feet of you, you can expend 1 ki point to add a +1 to all your Martial Arts feature attack rolls for that turn against that creature while you maintain these conditions.
Paralyzing Strike
You can attempt to cut completely the flow of ki to a creature's limb. Once per turn when you hit a creature with an unarmed attack, you can make your target roll a Constitution saving throw.

Subclasses
Chaos, suffering, famine and desperation. Abbeorht is a world where the weak are enslaved and cowards killed. Fortunately, monks are a light on this ravaged world. The following options are available for character creation.
Way of the Ascendant Dragon
Dragons are perhaps some of the most hated and feared creatures of the world. Their tyranny and the long war of dragons left mortals deeply scarred, and all but perhaps the most young races know that these creatures shouldn't be treated lightly, and is preferred to kill them on sight. Despite this, their power still amazes mortals, and many have sought it. Monks of the Ascendant Dragon train to mimic their abilities, and they are frightening opponents. The following text replaces the FToD's subclass entry.

Way of the Astral Self
All mortals have a bit of a divine spark, as all were made using a sprinkle of the power of the astral gods. Some of those mortals who learn about it try to awaken their own astral nature, meditating and training to tap this energy. Those who have achieved that with astonishing success are monks that follow they way of the astral self, being able to manifest their very soul in a physical way and use it for many purposes. They are surprisingly common on the periphereal lands of the northern city state of Farhearth. The following text replaces the TCoE's subclass entry.

Some others prefer the warm embrace of booze, feeling a deep relaxation that grants them smooth (but tipsy) movements. Monks of this monastic tradition are known for their profound love of beer and any other brewed beverages, and, in their drunk wisdom, have developed a form of martial art that mixes combat training with the precision of a dancer and the antics of a drunk jester.

Some monks join strange and hermetic temples and cults, chasing knowledge of otherwordly and supernatural beings. These monks, despite what others fear, don't use this knowledge to command these creatures, but to banish them and protect mortals from those beings.

The Exorcist spell list shows which spells you know and when you learn more of them.
Exorcist Spells Table
Monk Level | Spell Level | Spell |
---|---|---|
3 | 1 | Detect Evil and Good, Protection from Evil and Good, Shield of Faith |
6 | 2 | Gentle Repose, Suggestion, Zone of Truth |
11 | 3 | Glyph of Warding, Magic Circle, Remove Curse |
17 | 4 | Banishment, Charm Monster, Locate Creature |
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your exorcist spells, since you learn your spells through faith and insight. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, these spells are considered monk techniques for you when casted in this way, and thus, use your Ki Technic DC when needed.
Seal Techniques
Starting 6th level, you can consume one of your seals making it burn in a cold and harmless blueish flame to produce some special exorcist techniques.
- Release Energy. As a bonus action, you can consume a seal to regain 3 ki points and recover hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
- Saint's Strike. Once per turn when you hit a creature with an unarmed attack, you can consume a spiritual seal to deal additional radiant damage equal to two rolls of your martial arts die. Aberrations, Elementals, Fey, Fiends and Undead receive one additional martial arts die from this feature.
- Palm of Eviction. When you hit a creature with an unarmed attack, you can consume one spiritual seal to force the creature to make a Charisma saving throw against your spell DC. On a failure, the creature's spirit leaves the body, leaving it stunned until the beginning of it's next turn. If the target is possessed, then the creature possessing it receives the damage of the attack and must make the saving throw, being evicted on a failure and ending the possessed condition. You can decide to deal no damage when you hit a target while using this feature. Souless creatures (like most undeads and constructs) are immune to this effect.
Ethereal Senses
Starting 11th lvel, your senses extend to the Ethereal Plane. You can spend 2 ki points to gain the ability to see in the Ethereal Plane within 60 feets from you, and can interact with objects or creatures there. Also, if you are in the Ethereal Plane, you can interact with objects and creatures in the physical plane.
This effect remains for up to 1 hour every time you use it or until you decide to end it as a bonus action.
Eternal Prison
At 17th level, being a master among exorcists, you can use your own body as a prison for those creatures that are too dangerous to banish. As an action, you put a spiritual seal on your body and can touch an aberration, celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or an incorporeal undead with a CR equal up to your monk level, spending 8 ki points, forcing the creature to make a Charisma saving throw against your spell DC. The target makes a saving throw per turn, and if it fails 3 saves, it's imprisoned inside of you. If it achieves 3 successes, the attempt of imprisonment fails.
During the effect, you and the creature remain paralyzed. If you are damaged, the creature gets advantage on it's next save. If the creature is forced to make a saving throw other than this or receives damage, then the paralysis ends, and the imprisonment attempt fails. Despite the result of the intent, the creature is immune to this feature for 1 week.
A creature imprisoned inside of you is still combative, but unconscious. It cannot perceive anything, and you cannot interact with it. When you are reduced to 0 hit points or fall unconscious, the creature can repeat it's Charisma saving throw. On a success, the creature weakens the seal. If the creature weakens the seal 5 times, it is released, and reappears in the closest unoccupied and safe space from you.
Once the creature exits from you, you gain 1 exhaustion level and become stunned for 1 minute. You cannot reinforce the seal by any means short of a wish spell, and doing so may carry unexpected consequences.
You can have only a single target imprisoned in this way, and attempting to imprison a new one immediately releases the trapped creature.
Way of the Five Beasts
Many mortals use beasts as a source of inspiration, finding paints, music, statues, and even magic and combat styles based around them. Some of the first monks that walked on Abbeorht took inspiration from these beasts and studied some of them, adopting their essences into their martial arts. They learn to imitate such beasts adopting different stances fueled by ki, being able to change rapidly between them in a pinch, being some of the most versatile monks in the world.

- Bull. If you move at least 20 feet in a straight line towards a creature one size larger or smaller than you and then immediately inflict bludgeoning damage with your Martial Arts feature, you can force it to make a Strength saving throw against your ki Technique DC, pushing it 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks on a failure.

These stances require you to be unarmored and wielding no weapons or monk weapons only, and remain active for up to 1 minute, until you change the stance or you are knocked unconscious.

- Tiger. When you take the attack action on your turn, you can, as part of the same action, expend 1 ki point to add your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) to the damage of all your unarmed attacks until the end of your turn.

Way of the Four Elements
Some monks have a natural affinity for different types of energy: some feel a celestial or divine calling, others a calling for violence, others for death and others for balance. But there are some rare monks that somehow have an unique affinity for not a single element, but all four of them. Training and meditating, they slowly learn to control the elements, and as they master this ability, they learn to also channel and even produce such elements. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.

Way of the Iron Fist
The first monks of Abbeorht, this monastic tradition dates back from the age of chains. Iron Giants trained mortals in secrecy, teaching them how to harden their bodies like iron, resisting devastating blows and dealing tremendous damage with their bare hands. Nowadays, these monks are seen as a relic from the past, only practiced by goliaths, but some nomad masters of this monastic tradition have started to settle on towns and villages across the world, teaching their secret techniques to those they consider worthy enough.
Bonus Proficiencies
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Athletics skill.
Hardened Body
Starting 3rd level when you first choose this monastic tradition, you obtain the following features:
- Giant's Endurance: The damage reduction of your monk's unarmored defense increases to 2. This reduction increases to 3 at 11th monk level.
- Hardened Skin: You gain a +1 bonus to your AC while using your monk's unarmored defense feature.
- Iron Fist. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with an unarmed attack, you deal bonus damage with it equal to the number of ki points you spent within the last round.
Iron Fist Secret Techniques
At 6th level, you have further developed your mastery of the Iron Fist. As a result, you gain the following techniques:
- Ironside. You can expend 1 ki point as a bonus action to grant yourself temporary hit points equal to half your monk level + your Wisdom modifier.
- Powerful Fist. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with an unarmed attack, you can expend 1 ki point to make your attack deal force damage instead
![](https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/37254/assets/580045/b97d8319294fd1c1146d002cdfedd5b2.jpg?1460870479)
Wave of Force
Starting 11th level, you can release a burst of energy against your enemies. When you take the attack action, you can replace one of your attacks with a special unarmed attack. Spending 2 ki points, you can strike the air infront of you, making all creatures in a 15 feet cone originated from you to make a Constitution saving throw, receiving force damage equal to 3 rolls of your martial arts die on a failure, or only half damage on a success.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your monk level (rounded up), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
True Iron Fist
When you reach 17th level, your fists are now as hard and deadly as the iron itself. Once per turn, you can inflict one additional martial arts die when you hit a creature with an unarmed attack.
Also, your AC's bonus obtained from the Hardened Skin feature increases to +2.
Way of the Justiciar
While most monks keep themselves far from the cities and avoid taking part on other's issues, some take a special path that leads them to constantly interact with common citizens These monks usually wear masks to protect their identities, and watch over dangerous streets of cities and lonely paths. Some use their abilities to protect the weak, others to avenge them, and few of them to actively hunt and punish evildoers.
Hero's Training
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in either the Intimidation or Persuasion skill (your choice). You add your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) to Charisma checks using your chosen skill.

Starting at 3rd level, you can adopt the justiciar's mantle to fight evil and protect the innocents. You can spend 2 ki points, gaining temporary hit points equal to your monk level + your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
This mantle remains for up to 1 hour or until you die or end it early as a bonus action. While it remains active, you can spend 1 ki point as a bonus action to mark a creature you can see within 30 feet of you as your sworn enemy for 1 minute. You have the following advantages against it:
- Your Martial Arts attack rolls against it gain 1d4 bonus to damage rolls. This bonus increases to 1d6 at 17th monk level.
- Your sworn enemy has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you if you're within 10 feet from it and it can see you.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/33/a6/cb/33a6cb8faa0d638b3dd04340a3d950cf.jpg)
You can only have a single sworn enemy at once, and marking a new one makes you lose these advantages against the first marked creature.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your monk level (rounded up), and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Heroic Aura
Starting 6th level, your presence inspires others to fight for the common well and justice. While you have your Justiciar's Mantle feature active, creatures of your choice within 10 feet from you that can see you receive a bonus to all attack rolls and saving throws equal to half your wisdom modifier (rounded up, minimum 1).
Frightening Presence
At 11th level, your sworn enemy's minions tremble before you. Creatures other than your sworn enemy that begin their turn inside your Heroic Aura's radius or enter it for the first time on their turn must make a Wisdom saving throw against your ki technique DC. On a failure, they become frightened of you until the beginning of their next turn.
Everlasting Hero
Also at 17th level, if you have no remaining uses of your Justiciar's Mantle feature, you can expend 4 ki points to assume it as a bonus action. once you do so, you cannot do it again until you finish a long rest.
Also, the range of your Heroic Aura is increased to 30 feet.
Way of the Kensei
Monks are masters of body and mind, using their bodies as deadly weapons. Despite this, no one can deny that some weapons can add more lethality to attacks, as well as being able to use them for defense purposes, and there are some monasteries that train their monks in the use of both their bodies and weapons for combat. So amazing and effective are they, that even halflings of Hargin have some elite squads in their army full of these martial monks. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.
Brush and Steel
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons.
Also, you gain proficiency with calligrapher's supplies.
Path of the Kensei
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your special martial arts training leads you to master the use of certain weapons to use wiith your monk features. You gain the following benefits:
- Kensei Weapons. Choose two types of weapons to be your kensei weapons: one melee weapon and one ranged weapon. Each of these weapons can be any non firearm weapon that lacks the heavy and especial properties with which you have proficiency. Weapons of the chosen types are monk weapons for you. When you reach 6th, 11th, and 17th level in this class, you can choose another type of weapon – either melee or ranged – to be a kensei weapon for you.
- Agile Parry. If you make an unarmed strike as part of the Attack action on your turn and are holding a kensei weapon, you can use it to defend yourself if it is a melee weapon. You gain a +2 bonus to AC until the beginning of your next turn as long as the weapon remains in your hand and you aren’t incapacitated.
- Kensei's Shot. You can use a bonus action on your turn to make your ranged attacks with a kensei weapon more deadly. When you do so, any target you hit with a ranged attack using a kensei weapon takes an extra 1d4 damage of the weapon’s type. You retain this benefit until the end of the current turn.
One with the Blade
At 6th level, you extend your ki into your kensei weapons, granting you the following benefits.
- Deft Strike. When you hit a target with a kensei weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to cause the weapon to deal extra damage to the target equal to your Martial Arts die. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns.
- Ki Infused Weapons. Your attacks with your kensei weapons count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
- Path of Steel. Your kensei weapons count as unarmed attacks for purposes of monk features.
Sharpen the Blade
At 11th level, you gain the ability to augment your weapons further with your ki. As a bonus action, you can expend a number of ki points equal to half your Wisdom modifier (rounded up, minimum 1) to grant one kensei weapon you touch a bonus to attack and damage rolls when you attack with it. The bonus equals twice the number of ki points you spent. This bonus lasts for 1 minute or until you use this feature again. This feature has no effect on magic weapons that already have a bonus to attack and damage rolls.

Unerring Accuracy
At 17th level, your mastery of weapons grants you extraordinary accuracy. If you miss with an attack roll using a monk weapon on your turn, you can reroll it. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns.
Way of the Long Death
Death is, ultimately, the final destiny of all mortals. When Vecna died during the great war of chaos, it granted a new and unknowable meaning to death, a meaning that some monks strive to understand. Learning and comprehending the thin distinction between life and death, as well as the strange condition of undeath, these monks shape their ki and soul to better understand it. They are pretty common among vecanian elites, and are highly respected all across the country, and seen with suspicion outside their borders. The following text replaces the SCAG's subclass entry.
Thanatologist's Way
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain some insight into pain, torture and death. You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill. If already proficient, you instead gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Composure, Insight, Medicine or Science. You gain expertise in the Intimidation skill, regardless of the skill proficiency you gained from this feature.
Also, you gain proficiency with Concealed daggers. They count as monk weapons for you.
Touch of Death
Starting 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 with your Martial Arts feature, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier + your monk level (minimum of 1 temporary hit point).

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 gain temporary hit points from your Touch of death feature, you can immediately expend 1 ki point as part of the same action to exude an aura of terror. As a result, each creature of your choice 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.
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.
You can do so only once between long rests.
Also, you now add your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) as a bonus to your death saving throws.
Touch of the Long Death
Starting at 17th level, your touch can channel the energy of death into a creature. As an action, you touch one creature within 5 feet of you, and you expend 1 to 10 ki points. The target must make a Constitution saving throw, and it takes two rolls of your martial arts die per ki point spent on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
You can use this feature only once between short or long rests.
Way of Mercy
Monks are trained in the ways of ki to dominate their own vital force for different purposes, but some monks go further and learn to manipulate the ki of others. Doing so, they are able to heal the wounded and cure the sick. On the opposite side of the coin, these monks can also use that knowledge to harm others with their own ki. They are popular and highly appreciated among elves and their settlements. The following text replaces the TCoE's subclass entry.
Implements of Mercy
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with herbalist's supplies. You also gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Composure, Insight or Medicine.
You also gain a special mask, which you often wear when using the features of this subclass. You determine its appearance, or generate it randomly by rolling on the Merciful Mask table.
Merciful Mask

---|---|
1 | Raven |
2 | Blank and white |
3 | Crying visage |

Hands of Healing
At 3rd level, your mystical touch can mend wounds. As an action, you can spend 1 ki point to touch a creature and restore a number of hit points equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
When you use your Flurry of Blows, you can replace one of the unarmed strikes with a use of this feature without spending a ki point for the healing.
You can do so a number of times equal to half your monk level (rounded up) between short or long rests.
Hands of Harm
At 3rd level, you use your ki to inflict wounds. Once per turn when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 1 ki point to deal extra necrotic damage equal to one roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom modifier.

Starting at 6th level, you can administer even greater cures with a touch, and if you feel it's necessary, you can use your knowledge to cause harm.

When you use Hands of Harm on a creature, you can subject that creature to the poisoned condition until the beginning of your next turn.
Flurry of Healing and Harm
Starting at 11th level, you can deal out a flurry of comfort and hurt. When you use Flurry of Blows, you can now replace each of the unarmed strikes with a use of your Hands of Healing, without spending ki points for the healing. You still are limited by the number of times you can heal others.
In addition, when you make an unarmed strike with Flurry of Blows, you can use Hand of Harm with that strike without spending the ki point for Hands of Harm. You can still use Hands of Harm only once per turn.
Hand of Ultimate Mercy
By 17th level, your mastery of vital force opens the door to the ultimate mercy. As an action, you can touch the corpse of a creature that died within the past 24 hours and expend 8 ki points. The creature then returns to life, regaining a number of hit points equal to four rolls of your martial arts die + your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). If the creature died while subject to any of the following temporal conditions, it revives with them removed: blinded, deafened, paralyzed, poisoned, and stunned.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Way of the Open Hand
Maybe the most traditional and common monastic tradition, monks that join as pupils to the way of the open hand learn to harness their ki and use it in various non-lethal ways, like interrupting the flow of ki on others, to strike with their palms (hence the name of "Open Hand"), heal themselves and even protect their bodies extruding it. They are pretty common all across Abbeorht, and can be found practically on any land. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.
Peaceful Methods
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Composure, Etiquette, Insight, Medicine or Persuasion. You gain expertise with the skill of your choice.
If you're already proficient with any of these skills, you can instead gain expertise in one of them and gain proficiency with any of the others.
Open Hand Technique
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can manipulate your enemy's ki when you harness your own. Whenever you hit a creature with one of the attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows, you can impose one of the following effects on that target:
- It must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
- It must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, you can push it up to 15 feet away from you.
- It must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become shocked until the end of your next turn.
Wholeness of Body
At 6th level, you gain the ability to heal yourself. As an action, you can expend 2 ki points and regain hit points equal to four rolls of your martial arts die. You must finish a short or long rest before you can use this feature again.
Tranquility
Beginning at 11th level, you can enter a special meditation that surrounds you with an aura of peace. At the end of a long rest, you gain the effect of a Sanctuary spell that lasts until the start of your next long rest (the spell can end early as normal). The saving throw equals your Ki technique DC.
Quivering Palm
At 17th level, you can set up lethal vibrations in someone's body. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can spend 3 ki points to start these imperceptible vibrations, which last for a number of days up to your monk level.
![](https://www.wargamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/dnd-monk-5e-1-900x506.jpg)
The vibrations are harmless unless you use your action to end them. To do so, you and the target must be on the same plane of existence. When you use this action, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, it is reduced to 0 hit points. If it succeeds, it takes 10d10 force damage.
You can have only one creature under the effect of this feature at a time. You can choose to end the vibrations harmlessly without using an action.
Way of the Rebel
Every now and then, an initiate abandons the teachings of it's order after learning the basics: either because they are expelled from their monastery, or defect to follow other monastic traditions, usually because they hate the inflexible dogmas of the temple. Sometimes however, these outcasts don't follow the teachings of any other specific way, and end up developing their own way, full of improvisations but not for it being inefficient.
Survivor's Way
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you become proficient with light armor and improvised weapons. Improvised melee weapons without the heavy or special properties count as monk weapons for you.
Also, you gain proficiency in the Survival skill.
You can benefit from all your monk features while wearing light armor, and if your AC wearing light armor would leave with a lower AC, you instead can use your unarmored defense feature to calculate your AC.
Combat Superiority
By 3rd level, you have learned some knacks in combat, derived from your own experimentation with not formal martial arts.
![](https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/90586/assets/904456/shadow_monk.jpg?1538136389)
Battle Maneuvers
You learn two Maneuvers of your choice from the list of Maneuvers available to fighters. You can use only one Maneuver per turn. When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one Maneuver you know with another Maneuver of your choice.
You learn one additional maneuver of your choice at 6th, 11th and 17th level.
"Superiority Dice"
To use your maneuvers, you can spend a ki point, using your martial arts die instead of a superiority die for them. You can do so a number of times up to half your monk level (rounded up) between short or long rests.
Saving Throws
These maneuvers count as ki techniques for you, so, the saving throw for any maneuver that requires a saving throw uses you ki technique DC.
Freedom Seeker
Starting 6th level, your desire for freedom allows you to break your chains with ease. You have advantage on saving throws and skill checks to avoid being grappled or restrained.
Also, you can spend 1 ki point to attempt to break free from a grapple or restrained condition as a bonus action instead of using your action (like when breaking free from a giant holding you into it's hand).
At 11th level, you can also apply this feature to the paralyzed and petrified conditions.
Dirty Fighting
Starting 11th level, you can take advantage of your opponent's neglect. Once per turn, if you score a hit against a creature with a martial arts attack with advantage, the creature gets disadvantage on it's saving throw against a monk technique produced by such attack.
Opportunist
Starting 17th level, your fighting style takes maximum advantage of any opportunity. Your martial arts attacks against a creature currently affected by any condition add your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) to their damage rolls.
Way of the Shadow
Darkness is a strange and hypnotic concept: the total absence of light. It is the best friend of those who want to move swiftly without being noticed, but also where those things that predate others lurk. Isonly normal that mortals try by different ways to either control or combat darkness, but there are some monks that do both. These monks learn subtle ways of producing magical effects using their ki to move swiftly across the dark, being especially common in the kingdoms of Moran'Gol and Nal'Ferris. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.
Shadow Training
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in two of the following skills of your choice: Acrobatics, Escapism, Insight, Perception, Performance or Stealth.
Subtle Arts
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can use your ki to duplicate the effects of certain spells. As an action, you can spend 2 ki points to cast Darkness, Darkvision, Pass without Trace, or Silence, without providing material components.
If you have or gain darkvision, you're able to see in magical darkness created by you. Also, creatures affected by your Darkvision spell using ki points also gain this benefit.
Additionally, you gain the Minor Illusion cantrip if you don't already know it.
Shadow Step
At 6th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, you can teleport as a bonus action up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. You then gain advantage on the first melee attack you make before the end of your turn.
Cloak of Shadows
By 11th level, you have learned to become one with the shadows. When you are in an area of dim light or darkness, you can use your action to become invisible. You remain invisible until you make an attack, cast a spell, or are in an area of bright light.
Opportunist
At 17th level, you can exploit a creature's momentary distraction when it is hit by an attack. Whenever a creature within 30 feet of you is hit by an attack made by a creature other than you, you can use your reaction to move up to 30 feet towards it without provoking opportunity attacks and make a melee attack against that creature.
Way of the Staff Master
Monks are associated with the use of quarterstaffs, but few of them actually practice the mystical and elegant martial art known as bo-jutsu (staff combat) as a way to master their bodies. While this martial art is used mostly for self defense, some of their masters have used to become legendary warriors, earning the honorable title of Staff Masters. This martial art is extensively practiced by hobgoblins and, to a lesser degree, by nomads of the Sultanate of Kyzan.
Acrobatic Performance
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Acrobatics, Escapism or Performance.
Staff Stance
Starting 3rd level, you can use your staff as either a deadly weapon or a defensive tool, assuming a combat stance as long as you're wearing no armor nor shields and no other weapons.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7c/6a/db/7c6adb98514976ba81b21321d0b26021.jpg)
You gain the following advantages while wielding a quarterstaff:
- While you're holding a quarterstaff in one hand, it gains the reach Property for you.
- While you hold a quarterstaff as a two-handed weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.
- When you hit a creature within 5 feet of you, you can force it to make a Strength saving throw against your Technique DC. On a failure, it is pushed 5 feet away from you without provoking opportunity attacks.
- Your attacks with quarterstaves are treated as unarmed attacks for the purpose of monk's features.
Vault
Starting 6th level, you gain proficiency in the acrobatics skill.
Also, your horizontal jump distance increases by a number of feet equal to half your dexterity score, and your vertical jump distance increases a number of feet equal to your dexterity modifier, as long as you have a quarterstaff on hand.
Sweeping Attack
At 11th level, you can use your staff to strike multiple targets with a single swing. As an action, when you are wielding a quarterstaff, you can spend 2 Ki points to perform a low sweep against all creatures around you. Choose any of the following options:
- Defensive Sweep. The area of the sweep is 10 feet around you. The attack inflicts 1 roll of your martial arts die.
- Offensive Sweep. The area of the sweep is 5 feet around you. The attack inflicts 2 rolls of your martial arts die.
Despite the chosen option, creatures affected by it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they suffer the damage of the sweep and are knocked prone. On a success, a creature suffers half damage and isn't knocked Prone.
Staff Mastery
Starting 17th level, you are now a true staff master. You gain the following advantages:
- Ki-Charged Staff. While you're on the offensive stance and hit a creature with an unarmed attack, you can expend 1 ki point to deal 1 extra martial art die roll to the damage roll.
- Masterful Block. While you're on the defensive stance, you can use your reaction to add 1 martial art die roll as a bonus to your AC against a number of attacks equal to your wisdom modifier (minimum 1) until the beginning of your next turn.
Way of the Sun Soul
The ki is truly a mystical and mysterious energy: it derives from the very soul of mortals, but can only be achieved after long meditations and strict training. Some monks are able to tap so deep into their own souls that gain the ability to use it as a shining and radiant energy, that serves as both a weapon and a shield. These monks learn to shot bolts of radiant energy using the very fuel of their souls. They are highly revered and extremely popular across all of Arivanthor, and are known as Sun Sages. The following text replaces the XGtE's and SCAG's subclass entry.
Solar Sight
Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, it increases by 30 feet up to 150 feet.
Starting 6th level, you gain the ability to see in magical darkness.
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. This special attack is a ranged spell attack with a range of 30 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your Dexterity modifier to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is radiant, and its damage die equals your martial arts die.
This attack counts as unarmed attacks for purposes of Monk techniques.
Shining Radiance
At 6th level, you gain the ability to channel your ki into searing waves of energy around you. Once on each of your turns as part of the attack action, you can expend 2 ki points to replace one of your attacks and instead release a shining radiance and emit waves of radiant energy. Creatures of your choice within 15 feet around you must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they receive 2 rolls of your martial arts die and be blinded until the beginning of your next turn. On a success, they receive only half damage and aren't blinded.
Also, you gain resistance to radiant damage.
At 17th level, this damage increases to 3 damage rolls.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your monk level (rounded up), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Searing Sunburst
At 11th level, you gain the ability to create an orb of light that erupts into a devastating explosion. As an action, you can spend 1 ki point to magically create an orb and hurl it at a point you choose within 150 feet, where it erupts into a sphere of radiant light for a brief but deadly instant.
Each creature in a 20-foot-radius area must make a Constitution saving throw, receiving 1 roll of your martial arts die as radiant damage, or only half damage on a success. A creature doesn't need to make the save if its behind total cover that is opaque.
You can increase the sphere's damage by spending additional ki points. Each point you spend, up to a maximum of 3 additional points, increases the damage by 1 martial art roll.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your monk level (rounded up), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Sun Shield
At 17th level, you become wreathed in a luminous, magical aura. You gain immunity to radiant damage.
Also, you now 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, you can use your reaction to deal radiant damage to the creature. The radiant damage equals to your martial arts die + your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).

Paladin
Devote warriors dedicating their lives to uphold an oath, paladins are fierce combatants and deserve more options to customize character options. They have a pretty limited list of options for customization, and feels unfitting that every single paladin subclass inflicts radiant damage. The present work adds new fighting styles and modifications to a single subclass and fitting damage types for each official and new subclass, as well as a whole new mechanic for paladins, and a reskinning for fitting their zealous abilities, no longer of truly divine origin.

![](https://www.flutesloot.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/paladin-e1588174768135-900x400.jpg)
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- (a) a martial weapon and a shield or (b) two martial weapons
- Any martial weapon
- (a) five javelins or (b) any simple melee weapon
- (a) a priest's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
- (a) a hauberk or b (lamellar)
- a holy symbol
Sacred Oath
Starting 1st level, you swear one of the 16 known oaths, that binds you as a paladin forever, and dictates your life from now on. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 2nd, 7th, 15th, and 20th level. Those features include oath spells and the Channel Divinity feature.
Not allowed Subclasses
The Oathbreaker subclass is not allowed for this setting.
Channel Divinity
Your oath allows you to channel divine energy to fuel magical effects. Each Channel Divinity option provided by your oath explains how to use it. When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which option to use. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again.
You can use your Channel Divinity option additional times as you gain more levels in the paladin class. You can use it twice between rests at 9th level, and thrice between rests at 17th level.
Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your paladin spell save DC.
Oathbreakers
Paladins can sometimes lose their way, going actively against their oath tenets.
These paladins find themselves soon losing their higher level oath feature. When they have lost all their oath feature but 1st level features, they lose their ability to channel divinity until they amend for their infractions against their oaths.
If a paladin loses all it's oath features, they start to lose their zeal, losing a paladin level for every day they remain without atoning for their oath breaking. When they atone for their infractions, they regain all lost paladin levels.
A paladin cannot gain new levels in the paladin class while it has lost and unrecovered paladin levels.
Changing Oaths
When a paladin loses all it's paladin levels but the first, it can decide to, instead of recovering it's old oath, take upon a new oath in an appropriate ceremony. The paladin then recovers a paladin level for each day he fulfills all tenets of his new oath, until he has recovered all it's previous paladin levels.
Once he has changed oaths, he can never again take the oath he abandoned.
Losing All levels
When a paladin loses it's last paladin level, he then gains a level of exhaustion for each day he goes without recovering a paladin level, until he dies. These exhaustion levels cannot be overcome by any means until he has recovered at least 1 level in the paladin class.
If the paladin has other classes, he instead falls to 5 exhaustion levels and then, he gains a new level in any of their other classes, but not a new class (except the warlock class, as an opportunist creature might take advantage of the situation).
Then the paladin can recover from exhaustion levels as normal.
Zealot's Strength
Starting at 1st level, you gain a pool of zealous energy that allows you to either heal or damage others. This pool of energy is represented by a number of d8s equal to your Paladin level + your Charisma modifier (minimum 1) and are known as Zeal Points.
You can spend these zeal points to produce some magical effects with it, and recover all expended Zeal Points when you finish a long rest.
Zealous Smite
You can use your zeal to castigate your enemies. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon or unarmed attack, you can expend a number of zealous points up to your limit by the Zeal Points per Use column on the Paladin class table. Each point expended in this way deals 1d8 additional magical damage of the weapon's damage type.
The damage inflicted by your zealous smite is silvered for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-silvered weapons.
Lay on Hands
The zealous essence flowing throw your body can heal wounds and cure ailments. As an action, you can touch a living creature and draw power from the pool to restore a number of hit points equal to a number of d8s spent at once, up to your maximum amount of zeal points per use.
Alternatively, you can forgo rolling the die to to cure the target of one non-magical disease or neutralize one poison affecting it spending a zeal point. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay on Hands, expending zeal points separately for each one up to your maximum of zeal points per use.
Fighting Style
Starting at 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options.
![](https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/032/632/047/large/thanh-vtartist-dragonbone-1.jpg?1607006640)
You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
- Adaptive Fighting. While wielding a single versatile weapon and no shield, you can choose to wield it one or two-handed until the start of your next turn. When wielding it one-handed you gain a +1 bonus to both attack and damage rolls. Wielding it two-handed grants you a +1 bonus to your damage rolls and AC.
- Berserking. Once on your turn, you can gain advantage on a single melee weapon attack. If you do so, your AC is reduced by 1 until the beginning of your next trun.
- Blessed Warrior. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the cleric spell list. They count as paladin spells for you, and Charisma is your spellcasting ability for them. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of these cantrips with another cantrip from the cleric spell list.
- Blind Fighting. You have blindsight with a range of 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.
- Brutal. When you attack an enemy with a melee weapon without the light or finesse properties, you can decide to push the target 5 feet away from you. The target makes a Strength saving throw with a DC equal to (8 +Bonus proficiency + Strength modifier). This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and you can try to push a target only once per turn.
- Classical Fencing. When you are wielding a single melee weapon in one hand without the Heavy, Two-Handed or Versatile properties and no shield or heavy armor, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.
- Defense. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
- Distractor. When you attack an enemy with a melee weapon attack, that enemy gains disadvantage on its attack rolls against any other creature within 5 feet from you until the end of your next turn.
- Dueling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
- Great Weapon Fighting. When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
- Interception. When a creature you can see hits a target other than you within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.
- Polearm Fighter. When making an attack with a polearm, you can then take a bonus action to make a second weapon attack with its opposite end, dealing 1d4 + your ability modifier in bludgeoning damage.
- Powerful Attacker. When making an attack with a weapon you are proficient in using strength, you can choose to forfeit adding your bonus proficiency to the attack roll. If the attack hits, then you add your bonus proficiency to the damage roll.
- Protection. When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.
- Shield Combat. If you're wielding a light weapon and a shield on your off hand, you can make a bash attack with you shield as a bonus action. This attack adds your strength modifier to the damage roll.
- Superior Technique. You learn one maneuver of your choice from among those available to the Fighter class. If a maneuver you use requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects, the saving throw DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice.) You gain two superiority die, which are d4s (this die is added to any superiority dice you have from another source). This die is used to fuel your maneuvers. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.
- Tunnel Fighter. While fighting in reduced spaces, you don’t have disadvantage on attack rolls while using weapons with the two handed, heavy or versatile properties. Also, as a bonus action, you can decide to enter a defensive stance; while in this stance, you can make an attack of opportunity against any creature that comes within your range.
![](https://www.flutesloot.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/aasimar.jpg)
- Two Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
- Unarmed Fighting. Your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. If you aren’t wielding any weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8. At the start of each of your turns, you can deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to one creature grappled by you.
Spellcasting
By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on divine magic through meditation and prayer to cast spells as a cleric does.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Paladin table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your paladin spells.
To cast one of your paladin 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 paladin spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the paladin spell list. When you do so, choose a number of paladin spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your paladin 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 paladin, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma 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 paladin spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your paladin spells, since their power derives from the strength of your zeal. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a paladin spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC
Spell attack modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your paladin spells.
Oath Spells
Each oath has a list of associated spells. You gain access to these spells starting 2nd level and again at the levels specified in the oath description. Once you gain access to an oath spell, you always have it prepared, and they don't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.
If you gain an oath spell that doesn't appear on the paladin spell list, the spell is nonetheless a paladin spell for you.
Font of Zeal
At 3rd level, you can transform your spell slots into zeal points, at a rate of 1 zeal point per spell level, up to your maximum amount of zeal points (but not the other way).
Also, you can expend 15 minutes uttering your oath's dogma while you touch your holy symbol during a short rest. When you finish your short verbal oblation, you regain a number of spent zeal points equal to 1/3 your paladin level (rounded up).
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Zealous Health
Starting 5th level, the zealous essence flowing through you makes you immune to non-magical diseases.
By 14th level, you also gain immunity to magical diseases.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Aura of Protection
Starting at 6th level, your presence becomes inspiring to your allies.
Whenever you or a friendly creature within 10 feet of you must make a saving throw, the creature gains a bonus to the saving throw equal to half your Charisma modifier (rounded up, minimum 1). You must be conscious to grant this bonus.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Aura of Courage
Starting at 10th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain advantage on saving throws against the frightened condition while you are conscious.
At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.
Zealous Strikes
By 11th level, you are so suffused with zeal that your melee strikes deal additional damage. Your melee unarmed and weapon attacks add your Charisma modifier (minimum 1) as bonus damage, making all of them count as silvered and magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-silvered and/or non-magical damage.
Cleansing Touch
Beginning at 13th level, you can use your action to spend a zeal point and end one spell on yourself or on one willing creature that you touch.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Subclasses
Mortals are at the mercy of cruel and hideous monsters, wanting to predate on their souls, flesh and sanity. Paladins have taken a vital roll to protect them through their endless sacrifice. The following oaths are those patronized by the deities of Abbeorht.
Oath of the Ancients
The oath of the ancients was the first of all paladin oaths, and was created by Fraedus when his sacred forest was first reached by the ravaging war of chaos. Those who uphold such oath become agents of nature and preservation, focused on bringing hope to others and defend those things and beings that grant happiness and joy to those alive. They are widely related to seelie fey, as their services are often seeked by those who serve the Fae Queen Titania. They are commonly known as horned knights, fey knights or druid knights. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.
Some known modern orders of these paladins include: The Arrow of Oberon in Arivanthor; The Ironwood Brotherhood in Fraedia; and The Hand of Cold Iron in Ebon Grove.
Tenets of the Ancients
The tenets of the Oath of the Ancients have been preserved for uncounted centuries.
![](https://blackcitadelrpg.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Oath-of-the-Ancients-Paladin-5e.jpg)
This oath emphasizes the principles of good above any concerns of law or chaos. Its four central principles are simple.
- Kindle the Light. Through your acts of mercy, kindness, and forgiveness, kindle the light of hope in the world, beating back despair.
- Shelter the Light. Where there is good, beauty, love, and laughter in the world, stand against the wickedness that would swallow it. Where life flourishes, stand against the forces that would render it barren.
- Preserve Your Own Light. Delight in song and laughter, in beauty and art. If you allow the light to die in your own heart, you can't preserve it in the world.
- Be the Light. Be a glorious beacon for all who live in despair. Let the light of your joy and courage shine forth in all your deeds.

![](https://external-preview.redd.it/JWINLbUPJMmbQAk8k1vupalpmEe-OarguwZ-zYgVB08.jpg?auto=webp&s=8824f0289955f0df9ba71714636b4d59173ff34c)

Tenets of Redemption
The tenets of the Oath of Redemption hold a paladin to a high standard of peace and justice.
- Peace. Violence is a weapon of last resort. Diplomacy and understanding are the paths to long-lasting peace.
- Innocence. All people begin life in an innocent state, and it is their environment or the influence of dark forces that drives them to evil. By setting the proper example, and working to heal the wounds of a deeply flawed world, you can set anyone on a righteous path.
- Patience. Change takes time. Those who have walked the path of the wicked must be given reminders to keep them honest and true. Once you have planted the seed of righteousness in a creature, you must work day after day to allow it to survive and then flourish.
- Wisdom. Your heart and mind must stay clear, for eventually you will be forced to admit defeat. While every creature can be redeemed, some are so far along the path of evil that you have no choice but to end their lives for the greater good. Any such action must be carefully weighed and the consequences fully understood, but once you have made the decision, follow your path knowing its just.

many lost most if not all of their possessions during the great war of chaos, and among those things that were lost, were the elven children of the moon Goddess Selendis. The goddess felt a huge pain as their children where massacred by the gorocs, and thus, she granted them the power to avenge the fallen and help them to survive. Paladins who uptake this order are not preoccupied by law, not even justice as the law of mortals can fail to grant retribution. These paladins seek to achieve vengeance upon those have done wrong to others. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.

Tenets of Vengance
Paladins who uphold these tenets are willing to sacrifice even their own righteousness to mete out punishment and revenge upon those who do evil. The core principles are the following:
- Fight the Greater Evil. Faced with a choice of fighting my sworn foes or combating a lesser evil, I choose the greater evil.
- No Mercy for the Wicked. Ordinary foes might win my mercy, but my sworn enemies do not.
- By Any Means Necessary. My qualms can't get in the way of exterminating my foes.

On a successful save, the creature's speed is halved for 1 minute or until the creature takes any damage.

Oath of the Watchers
At the end of the great war of chaos, aberrations flooded the world, and after them, many other outsiders. These beings initially fought the gorocs and contributed to victory, but soon turned towards weaker prey: mortals.

In the middle of these lands, few people can hope to survive, and a group of mortals specially trained have been attempting to clean the wilds around settlements to make them safer and allow the expansion of civilization.

Primal Companion
Starting 1st level, you gain the ability to magically summon a primal beast from the beastlands, which draws strength from your bond with nature. The beast is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. Choose its stat block from those available at the end of this class entry. Your primal beast uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places, and adds your proficiency bonus to any saving throw it makes.
You determine the kind of animal the beast is, choosing a kind appropriate for the stat block. Whatever kind you choose, the beast bears primal markings, indicating its mystical origin. In combat, the beast acts during your turn. It can move and use it's reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action.
You can 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. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the beast to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
If the beast has died within the last hour, you can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher.
The beast returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. When you finish a long rest, you can summon a different primal beast. The new beast appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. If you already have a beast from this feature, it vanishes when the new beast appears. The beast also vanishes if you die.
Some abilities of your beasts require a saving throw. The DC equals your spell save DC.

Drakewarden Conclave
Mortals were not the only servitors of dragons. They also had a lesser type of draconic creatures that also served them: the drakes. These creatures were similar to giant Varanus with strong legs and tempers, and are now almost extinct due to massive hunting both during and after the war. Despite this, some rangers are trained to learn how to magically call forth and bond with one of these ancient drake's spirit to serve them. These rangers are usually dragonborns or dwarves. The following text replaces the FToD's subclass entry.
Draconic Gift
At 3rd level, the bond you share with your drake creates a connection to dragonkind, granting you understanding and empowering your presence.
You gain the following benefits:
- Dragon Bite. You learn the Dragon Bite* cantrip, which is a ranger spell for you.
- Tongue of Dragons. You learn to speak, read, and write Draconic or one other language of your choice.
Drake Companion
Also at 3rd level, you gain a new form for your primal companion. As an action, you can magically summon the drake that is bound to you. It uses the Drake Companion stat block in the following page, and is pretty similar to other primal companions, but grows stronger as you gain levels in the ranger class.
Drakewarden Magic
Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Drakewarden Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you know.

Falconer Conclave
While most rangers are experts at animal handling, some of them go further in it and become master tamers. Similar to beast masters, falconers bond in a more profound way with their beast companions, relying on birds of prey and sharing their senses, hunting tactics and even their entire lives. Using deep natural magic, martial training and coordinated tactics, these rangers are excellent hunters, scouts and valuable allies. They are usually represented by air genasi and shifters.

Long ago, mortals learned to tame fire, and since, they have used it in their daily lives, to scare beasts, cook their food, warm themselves, craft items and many more activities. When the elements became wild during the time of chaos, fire became untamable, and thus, their protectors became rarer. These warriors (mainly composed by aasimar and genasi) are infused with the prime flame, the heart of the fenix lord, and thus, use it's power to protect the fiery lands from harm, bringing warmth to those in need and scorching those that threat their duty.

Gloom Stalker Conclave
Darkness is home and lair of many dangerous creatures, monsters and horrors that hunt upon all mortals and feast on their flesh. The danger that these creatures impose has obliged some rangers to take upon a strange mantle fed by the dark mantle of the Shadowfell.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8f/0b/96/8f0b964e86c8c5f9488a41c3db1cb0fd.png)

Gravewalker Conclave
Many rangers have died while training to protect the world, most of them even before being named true rangers. Sometimes, some of them find their way back to life, but not because of a miracle, but because of foul magic of otherwordly entities that bring them back to continue fighting. Any aspiring ranger of any race can become a member of this loose conclave, and their very nature brings terror to their fellow comrades, as they are the marked, the cursed, the non-dead. They all, as a whole, conform the Conclave of the Gravewalkers.

The world suffered a planar sundering after the great war of chaos with the cataclysm that divided the world and destroyed most of civilization. With said event, thousands of creature from many different planes came to Abbeorht to do as they pleased, seeing mortals as inferior creatures worth only of being servitors of these higher powers.

![](https://gruposaedal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/1638099536_DD-5e-la-mejor-construccion-de-Horizon-Walker-Ranger.jpg)
This definition has been increasing in it's limitations, first being designed as a way to fight dragons and monsters of the world, and eventually, all kind of creatures, from all kind of outsiders, armies and even hordes of undead.

Light Bearer Conclave
Mount Celestia was long ago tasked with the protection of mortals, but required no intervention until the moment the planar barriers broke down and mixed the outer planes with the mortal world. To aid their cause, angels granted mortals the divine light, allowing them to banish shadows, protect the realms from evildoers and bring hope to those in despair. Few rangers actually follow this rare and selective path (almost only aasimars and sun elves), but those that devote themselves to the cause end up with powerful divine magic in their hands and becoming legends among their countries.
Divine Warrior
Starting 3rd level, you have been blessed by the sacred plane of Celestia. Once per turn, you can add your Wisdom modifier (minimmum 1) as radiant damage to one of your unarmed or weapon damage rolls.

Therian Conclave
Therianthropy is a curse, no one can say otherwise, but such a curse can be limited and even controlled to exploit the primal and savage power within.

Thick Skin
At 3rd level, the curse of therianthropy grants you higher resistance. While you are not wearing any armor, your armor class equals 10 + your Wisdom modifier + your Constitution modifier. If you're wearing armor and it would leave you with a lower AC, you can calculate your AC using this feature. A shield's benefits apply as normal.
At 15th level, your AC increases by 1 while you're under the effects of your Savage Shifting feature while using this feature to calculate your AC.

Mage Hunter Conclave
In a world where magic is rare and dangerous, those capable of wielding the arcane energies to their will more often than not end up being tyrannical and abusive lords. Because of this, a group of valiant rangers emerged to hunt these tyrants, infusing their bodies with the poisonous antimagic metal orichalcum, to achieve some degree of magical resistance. These warriors are seen as anathema by the humans of vecania, and many valiant elves and dwarves undergo this training with the sole purpose of combating the evil of the magocratic country.
Spell Hunter
Starting 3rd level, you can mark your enemies to hurt and disrupt your enemies with arcane energy. Once on each of your turns, when you damage a creature with a weapon attack, you can deal 1d4 extra force damage against it.

The high sea also is subjected to a continuous attacks of pirates and sea monsters, and there were no one to fight against them with especial efficiency, until the creation of this conclave.

While Horizon walkers specialize in outsiders and Hunters on specific types of prey, Monster Slayers use their knowledge and abilities to actively hunt all the evil creatures that inhabit the world, despite their origin, size or intentions.
These warriors are relentless and excel at spoting weak points and quickly create strategies to bring down their prey. This conclave is popular on dark corners of Abbeorht like Farhearth, Kyzan or Fraedia, and is really lousy organized. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.
Hunter's Sense
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to peer at a creature and magically discern it's weaknesses. As an action, 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.

At 11th level, you gain the ability to thwart someone else's magic. When you see a creature casting a spell or teleporting within 60 feet of you, you can use your reaction to try to magically foil it.

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

Swarmkeeper Conclave
All rangers have a natural connection to nature, but some rangers can tap deeply into this connection. Some use it to summon magical beasts or even enhance their physical abilities, but some among them call a myriad amount of petite spirits that take the form of a swarm around it. These rangers use these spirits to aid them in combat and daily life activities. The conclave is mainly formed by inhabitants of wild places rich in trees and insects, but can be found in scarce numbers all around the world. The following text replaces the TCoE's subclass entry.
Gathered Swarm
At 3rd level, you have bonded to a swarm of intangible nature spirits that assists you. Until you die, the swarm remains crawling on you or flying and skittering around you within your space. You can determine its appearance or generate it by rolling on the Swarm Appearance table.

Urban Stalker Conclave
While not many people would agree to, mortals and their homes, including villages towns and even cities, are also part of nature. They were created by the gods, the strongest forces of nature, and thus, they and their creations also count as natural. These rangers accept this dogma, and protect these places from outer and inner dangers, like invading aberrations, cultists, infiltrated or shapeshifted entities of all kinds and even plagues like giant vermin.

Rogue
Not all combatants wear heavy armor, immense weapons and magical abilities to get rid of their enemies. Some of them prefer more "subtle" ways. Among those, the most popular are rogues, mortals that train and specialize in the resolution of problems, acquiring an immense amount of abilities for any situation, and using them for all kind of purposes, from the most noble or adventurous, to the most doubtfully legal of them. Rogues prefer quality over quantity, including attacks, exploiting any weakness and opportunity to inflict the most possible damage with a single strike before falling back to safety. They are appreciated by adventurers as are quite resourceful, but many others distrust them for the common perception of them being honorless criminals, backstabbers and traitors.

You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Thieves' Cant
During your rogue training you learned thieves' cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation.
Only another creature that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house on the run.

- Deterring Strikes. If you're dual-wielding two melee weapons without the Heavy, Segmented or Two-Handed properties, creatures you hit with your melee weapon attacks cannot make opportunity attacks against you until the beginning of your next turn.
- Steady Aim. If you're wielding a ranged weapon with the Ammunition property that lacks the Heavy or Scatter properties, you can give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed becomes 0 until the end of the current turn.
- Swordplay. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand without the Heavy, Segmented or Two-Handed properties, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC. This feature isn't cumulative with any fighting style that increases your AC.
These fighting styles only work while you're wearing no heavy armor or shields (except bucklers).

Starting at 5th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack's damage against you.
Professional Knack
Also by 5th level, you have adopted a specific area as your area of "professional" expertise. You gain one of the following options of your choice. If you already have proficiency with the chosen artisan tools, you instead gain expertise with it. If you already have expertise in it, you then can choose any other tool proficiency from this list, but gain no additional benefit for such tools.
- Appraiser. Proficiency with Jeweler's Tools. You gain the ability to immediately know the approximate value of any jewel, gem and coin that you can examine during at least 10 seconds.
- Dungeoneer. Proficiency with Tinker's Tools. You gain advantage on checks to deactivate traps and mechanisms and saving throws to avoid their effects.

- Toxicologist. Proficiency with Poisoner's Supplies. You gain advantage on saving throws to avoid being poisoned.
Evasion
Beginning at 9th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon's fiery breath or an Ice Storm spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Slippery Mind
By 15th level, you have acquired greater mental strength. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws.
Elusive
Beginning at 18th level, you are so evasive that attackers rarely gain the upper hand against you. No attack roll has advantage against you while you aren't incapacitated.
Stroke of Luck
At 20th level, you have an uncanny knack for succeeding when you need to.
![](https://www.flutesloot.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/dd4j0mq-0dc10f0f-cadb-4b16-acc8-3eb0c024761f.jpg)
If your attack misses a target within range, you can turn the miss into a hit. Alternatively, if you fail an ability check, you can treat the d20 roll as a 20.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Subclasses
Abbeorht is a world were opportunists have higher chances of survival and success, and rogues of this world know it better than no one. Deadly masters of stealth, skills and opportunity, rogues are among the most dangerous enemies out there in the world.
Arcane Trickster Archetype
While rogues are extremely resourceful, some of them might feel that their abilities may lack additional tools. Some rogues come from some students of the arcane arts that, for many reasons, suspend their studies. Others seek these abilities formally studying under some mentors, others after finding and decoding a spell book, and others simply for a natural affinity to magic (like humands). These rogues use their magical proficiency to facilitate their various "business". The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.
Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level, you augment your martial prowess with the ability to cast spells.
Cantrips
You learn three cantrips: Mage Hand and two other cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn another wizard cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

The Arcane Trickster Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your wizard spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Charm Person and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Charm Person using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the enchantment and illusion spells on the wizard spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Arcane Trickster Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an enchantment or illusion spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
You learn one spell of 1st level that can came from any school of magic from the wizard spell list which doesn't count towards te total number of spells you know. You learn in this way a 2nd level spell at 7th level, a 3rd level spell at 13th level, and a 4th level spell at 19th level.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be an abjuration or evocation spell, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 7th, 13th, or 19th level from any school of magic.

Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC
Spell attack modifier

- You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature.
- You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature.
- You can use thieves' tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range.
You can perform one of these tasks without being noticed by a creature if you succeed on a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the creature's Wisdom (Perception) check.
In addition, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to cast and/or control the hand.

Starting at 9th level, if you are hidden from a creature when you cast a spell on it, the creature has disadvantage on any saving throw it makes against the spell this turn.
Versatile Trickster
At 13th level, you gain the ability to distract targets with your Mage Hand. As a bonus action on your turn, you can designate a creature within 5 feet of the spectral hand created by the spell. Doing so gives you advantage on attack rolls against that creature until the end of the turn.
Spell Thief
At 17th level, you gain the ability to magically steal the knowledge of how to cast a spell from another spellcaster. Immediately after a creature casts a spell that targets you or includes you in its area of effect, you can use your reaction to force the creature to make a saving throw with its spellcasting ability modifier. The DC equals your spell save DC. On a failed save, you negate the spell's effect against you, and you steal the knowledge of the spell if it is at least 1st level and of a level you can cast (it doesn't need to be a wizard spell). For the next 8 hours, you know the spell and can cast it using your spell slots. The creature can't cast that spell until the 8 hours have passed.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Assassin Archetype
Death is, definitively, the final destiny of all mortals, but there are some beings, including some mortals among them, that specialize in the multiple art to quickly blow out people's life. These beings can take any form, and come from almost any background, but they all have in common the expertise to strike swiftly and quickly move out of sight, mixing themselves with either shadows or crowds.

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.
Hit and Run
Also at 7th level, you gain the ability to reposition yourself after a failed assassination attempt. Whenever you take the attack action and deal damage with your sneak attack against a creature, and don't reduce it to 0 hit points, you can, as part from the same action, move up to your walking speed without provoking opportunity attacks in any direction of your choice.
You can do so only once between short or long rests.

You recover all expended die when you finish a long rest.

At 17th level, you now can force the luck to your favor. When you make an attack roll and fail, you can expend and roll a lucky dice, making the attack automatically succeed and inflict a critical hit.

This "debt" carries on with you until you have payed it, and can only be overcomed by a wish spell.
You can use this feature once and recover the ability to do so when you finish a short or long rest.
Inquisitive Archetype
Rogues are excellent for reconnaissance missions, to pick up things that others prefer not be taken up, to assessinate targets swiftly and even deceive their poor victims before attempting their objectives.

Whenever you're in darkness, when your sneak attack feature deals damage, the damaged creature must make a constitution saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your bonus proficiency + your wisdom modifier. On a failure, the creature gets disadvantage on their perception rolls relying in sight until the beginning of your next turn, as well as their next attack roll. Creatures immune to the blinded or poisoned conditions automatically succeed their saving throw.
Ethereal Body
Starting 13th level, you can now distort your body form, fusing yourself partially with shadows. Attacks against you have disadvantage while you're on dim light or darkness.

Born of Darkness
Starting 17th level, you now feel truly in home whenever you're in the dark. Your darkvision can now also see through magical darkness.
Also, whenever you're in darkness, you can use your cunning action to become invisible until the ending of your next turn. You become visible if you take damage, enter an area of dim or bright light, interact with an item or if you take the attack action.
Skinchanger Archetype
Skinchangers are some of the most enigmatic and rare creatures that inhabit the prime material plane. While druids study their secrets to transform themselves into beasts and therianthropes are afflicted with a terrible curse, these skinchangers obtain their gift from a primal spirit. Aided by trickster totems, these rogues can transform themselves into a bestial representation of their patrons, using their trickster abilities to their own benefit.
Trickster Totem
When you choose this acrchetype at 3rd level, you have awakened the ability to shapechange into a specific beast. Choose one of the following trickster animal:
- Coyote. You gain advantage on Wisdom saving throws.
- Crow. You gain proficiency in the Perception skill.
- Fox. You gain darkvision with a range of 120 feet.
- Monkey. Your horizontal jumping distance increases a number of feet equal to twice your dexterity modifier, and your vertical jump distance increases by your dexterity modifier as feet. Also, you halve all falling damage.
- Rabbit. You gain 10 feet of movement speed.
- Raccoon. You gain proficiency in the Deception and Survival skills.
Skinchange
Also at 3rd level you gain the ability to transform into your trickster totem. As a bonus action, you can transform yourself into a beast, according to your trickster totem.
The duration of this effect is one hour, and while transformed, you retain your ability to speak. This ability otherwise works like a druid wildshape feature. You gain additional feature while shapechanged into this form:
- Coyote. You can decide to illusory appear like a wolf or dog of small size. Creatures can pierce through the veil with a successful insight check against a DC 10 + your proficiency bonus + your wisdom modifier.
- Crow. You have advantage on wisdom and intelligence checks.
- Fox. You have advantage on intelligence and wisdom saving throws.
- Monkey. You can use your thieve's tools as well as daggers while in monkey form.
- Rabbit. You are immune to the charmed condition. Also, your walking speed increases by 10 feet.
- Raccoon. Creatures trying to spot you in dim light or darkness receive a penalty to their skill checks equal to your wisdom modifier (minimum 1).
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
You can find the blockstats at the end of the subclass' entry.
Partial Change
Starting 7th level you grow natural claws in your hands that resemble those of your trickster totem. While you're in your mortal form, you can transform both of your hands into claws or back to normality as a bonus action. These claws have the following characteristics:
- They deal 1d6 + your strength modifier as slashing damage, and you can use Dexterity instead of Strength for their attack and damage rolls.
- They count as magical for purposes of overcoming resistances and immunities to non-magical attacks.
- When you use the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional unarmed strike as a bonus action while you have your claws transformed. They can benefit from your sneak attack feature.
- While your claws are active, you gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed.
Hybrid Form
Also at 7th level, you can, as a bonus action, transform into an hybrid between your mortal race and your trickster totem. The transformation remains for up to 10 minutes, and while it remains, you gain the following advantages:
- Your partial change feature is always active.
- You benefit from your skinchange feature according to your totem.
- You gain temporary hit points equal to your rogue level.
While transformed in this way, you can still use your armor, tools and weapons.
You can transform a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier (minimum 1), and recover expended charges when you finish a long rest.
Armor of the Nahual
Starting 13th level, your Hybrid Form feature now also grants you a +2 bonus to your AC while it persists if you are wearing no armor or light armor.
Boon of the Trickster
Starting 17th level, you can convince your totem to swap your luck with that of others. As a reaction, you can give yourself advantage on an attack roll, skill check or saving throw, granting other creature within 60 feet from you that you can see disadvantage on it's next attack roll, skill check or saving throw.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended charges when you finish a long rest.

Soulknife Archetype
The Far Realm has tainted in many different ways the inhabitants of Abbeorht, extensively including mortals. While most of those tainted by the far realm are born as Yiraths, some of them have been affected in a more subtle yet more powerful way, developing psionic abilities. These abilities are extremely useful for many, many purposes, and those rogues that suddenly find themselves wielding these powers know how to effectively use them for their personal gain. The following text replaces the TCoE's subclass entry.
![](https://preview.redd.it/e0934cyb7wf81.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=8719b1e014f68bf8839f10d8e859e94b777a5922)
Psionic Power
Starting at 3rd level, you harbor a wellspring of psionic energy within yourself. This energy is represented by your Psionic Energy dice, which have the same size as your superiority dice. You have a number of these dice equal to your rogue level, 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 one expended Psionic Energy die, 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 half your rogue level (rounded Up), 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
Also at 3rd level, 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 it hits or misses its target, and it leaves no mark on its target if it deals damage.
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.
Soul Blades
Starting 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.
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
When you reach 17th level, you can sweep your Psychic Blade directly through a creature's mind. When you use your Psychic Blades to deal Sneak Attack damage to a creature, you can force that target to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier). If the save fails, the target is stunned for 1 minute.
The stunned target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend three Psionic Energy dice to use it again.
Surgeon Archetype
Sometimes, mortals are moved by the urge to help others in need, specially those afflicted by disease and wounds. Many of these voluntaries eventually become true doctors and surgeons, and with the knowledge of medicine, some rogues have also learned anatomy, and where to strike to kill faster. Be it because it was their objective since the begining, or because they found themselves holding this knowledge, these rogues use their ability to heal people and professionally wound those in their way.
Medical Knack
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Medicine skill, and add your Intelligence modifier to any Wisdom (medicine) check you make.
Also, you now can use your cunning action feature to drink or administer a healing potion or antidote to a willing or unconscious creature.
Finally, you also gain proficiency with herbalist's supplies and surgeon's supplies.

![](https://tabletopjoab.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/swashbuckler-rogue-art-1.jpg)
Surgical Strike
Also at 3rd level, you know how to target vital points in your enemies. Daggers you use now add your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) as a bonus to your damage rolls.
You cannot use this feature against bloodless creatures.
Field Doctor
Starting 7th level, you can easily tend any wound. You can replicate the effects of the lesser restoration spell spending 5 charges of a healer's kit and 10 minutes tending a creature. You can do so a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum once), and recover the ability to do so after you finish a long rest.
Also, when you successfully use a healer's kit on a living creature, it regains a number of hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) + 1 additional hit point per hit dice used during the treatment (if any).
Medical Prodigy
At 13th level, your medical knowledge allows you to do almost impossible medical miracles. You can now emulate the effects of greater restoration spell after 10 minutes of work and spending 10 charges from a healer's kit.
Also, you now you can reattach a limb that has been severed in the last 8 hours.
Anatomical Precision
Starting 17rd level, you've mastered the use of anatomical knowledge in combat. When you deal damage with your sneak attack feature with a dagge, you can roll one additional sneak attack die.
You cannot use this feature against bloodless creatures
Swashbuckler Archetype
While most rogues prefer subtle tactics, ambushes, dirty fighting and distance, some of them end up following a quite different approach, a direct confrontation to their opponents. Representing duelists and elegant swordsmen, these rogues prefer one on one encounters, and use their deadly skill with their weapons, as well as their foot work and mobility to defeat most enemies in single combat. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.
Fancy Footwork
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn how to land a strike and then slip away without reprisal. During your turn, if you make a melee attack against a creature, that creature can't make opportunity attacks against you for the rest of your turn.
Rakish Audacity
Starting at 3rd level, your confidence propels you into battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Charisma modifier.
You also gain an additional way to use your Sneak Attack; you don't need advantage on the attack roll to use your Sneak Attack against a creature if you are within 5 feet of it, no other creatures are within 5 feet of you, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. All the other rules for Sneak Attack still apply to you.
Panache
At 7th level, your charm becomes extraordinarily beguiling.
As an action, you can make a Charisma (Persuasion) check contested by a creature's Wisdom (Insight) check. The creature must be able to hear you, and the two of you must share a language.
If you succeed on the check and the creature is hostile to you, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you and can't make opportunity attacks against targets other than you. This effect lasts for 1 minute, until one of your companions attacks the target or affects it with a spell, or until you and the target are more than 60 feet apart.
If you succeed on the check and the creature isn't hostile to you, it is charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed, it regards you as a friendly acquaintance. This effect ends immediately if you or your companions do anything harmful to it.
Elegant Maneuver
Starting at 13th level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to gain advantage on the next Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) check you make during the same turn.
Master Duelist
Beginning at 17th level, your mastery of the blade lets you turn failure into success in combat. If you miss with an attack roll, you can roll it again with advantage. Once you do so, you can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
Thief Archetype
Rogues are associated with the acquisition of resources, objects and goods that most would rather not have touched.
![](https://img1.goodfon.com/wallpaper/nbig/7/43/fentazi-art-devushka-kniga-krazha-vorovka-prizrak-biblioteka.jpg)
Among rogues, the typical archetype and the most common of them are thieves. They excel at the acquisition of "things". Using their resourcefulness, they can pick up and analyze objects that people usually protects and prefers to keep in their possession (desires that thieves almost always ignore). The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.
Fast Hands
Starting at 3rd level, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check, use your thieves' tools to disarm a trap or open a lock, or take the Use an Object action.
Also, when you make a melee weapon attack that inflicts your sneak attack die, you can attempt to disarm your target as part of the same action if it's one size bigger than you or smaller. It must succeed on a strength or dexterity saving throw (your choice) against a DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your dexterity modifier or drop whatever it's holding on hand (You can only target a single item per use).
On a failure, the item falls to any unoccupied space within 5 feet from it of your choice, or you can use your interaction to take it before it falls to the ground. A creature holding an item in two hands has advantage on it's saving throw.
Using this feature more than once on the same day against the same target grants it advantage on it's saving throw against this maneuver for the next day.
Second-Story Work
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed.
In addition, when you make a running jump, the distance you cover increases by a number of feet equal to your Dexterity modifier.
Supreme Sneak
Starting at 7th level, you have advantage on a Dexterity (Stealth) checks if you move no more than half your speed on the same turn.
Use Magic Device
By 13th level, you have learned enough about the workings of magic that you can improvise the use of items even when they are not intended for you. You ignore all class, race, and level requirements on the use of magic items.
Also, you can now attune to one additional magical item.
Thief Reflexes
When you reach 17th level, you have become a master opportunist. You can take two turns during the first round of any combat. You take your first turn at your normal initiative and your second turn at your initiative minus 10.
You can't use this feature when you are surprised.
Thug Archetype
While most rogues prefer absolute stealth and dexterous methods, there are some among them that prefer to take matters in their own callous and strong hands. These rogues use brutal force instead of subtly ways, smashing skulls with big clubs, intimidating creatures and enjoying all while they are at it. They abuse the superior power of these weapons, and use their physical condition and their brutish strength to intimidate others and quickly get rid of their opponents.
Hardened Scoundrel
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium armor, shields (except tower shields) and improvised weapons.
Now, you can use your sneak attack feature with any weapon that lacks the heavy, reach or two-handed properties.
Professional Bruiser
Also at 3rd level you gain proficiency in the athletics skill. You now can use your cunning action to try to grapple a creature one size larger than you or smaller.
Also, you can deal your sneak attack damage against creatures grappled by you when you hit them with a weapon attack, even if you don't have advantage on the attack roll, but not if you have disadvantage.
Intimidating Brute
Starting 7th level, now, you can add your strength modifier as a bonus to any Charisma (intimidation) check.
![](https://www.gmbinder.com/images/tvdt3bzh.jpg)
Also, you can use an action to try to frighten creatures within 30 feet from you that can see you. All creatures of your choice within range must succeed on a wisdom saving throw against a DC 8 + proficiency bonus + your strength modifier. Creatures that fail their saving throw are frightened of you for 1 minute.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Abuse the Weak
At 13th level, you know how to effectively exploit your intimidating presence. When you attack a creature frightened of you with a melee weapon attack, you deal a critical hit on a roll of 19-20.
Massive Blow
Starting 17th level, your attacks now deal more damage. Your sneak attack die become d8s instead of d6s if you strike a creature with a melee weapon that lacks the light property.
Sorcerer
Loved, hated and feared, sorcerers are some of those classes that feel lackluster o limited, but this has only improved in the last new subclasses released. Their limited amount of known spells is hardly compensated by their versatility and access to metamagic (that others can obtain by feats), versatility that many other spellcasters have been granted on TCoE, and thus, puts them behind them. The present work reworks the entire class and subclasses, granting it a truly unique feeling more akin to true sorcery, differentiating it effectively from all other spellcasters for the way they cast their spells and not only for their metamagic options.

Sorcery
An event in your past, or in the life of a parent or ancestor, left an indelible mark on you, infusing you with arcane magic. This font of magic, whatever its origin, fuels your spells.

Some sorcerers aren't influenced by specific planes or creatures, but by the very energy of th ley lines of the world.

Something is clearly evident to the world: these dangerous creatures are both a source of terror and awe, and maybe, the destiny of the world resides in their own destiny...

Draconic Sorcerers are fearsome spellcasters that count with the same power of the dread dragons that most people on Abbeorht fear and hate. The following text replaces the PHB's subclass' entry.

Sorcerous Origin: Divine Soul
Mortals rarely have contact with the agents of deities, as the later know that even the slightest touch with them can taint their soul with divine energy, and said influence shall be avoided to not interfere with the biology of the world. Despite that, some mortals have ended up being touched by dvinity, and, with enough luck and generations, every then and there a sorcerer of divine blood is born, being blessed by the gods and destined to greatness. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass' entry.

All spellblades, as their names suggests, are specialists using bladed weapons and arcane magic. They are seen as heretics by wizards that don't understand their ways, but they care not about them, as their focus has never been studying magic itself but energy.
Martial Spellcasters
While scholar wizards focus on learning about magic, spellblades, sometimes refered as magus (Magi for plural) focus on comprehend it. Wizards are full of hubris, as their path is focused on produce it, while magi, on their side, are trained since the beginning to use magic and to channel it through bladed weapons; their edged way is not only aesthetic, but also practical, as bladed weapons can channel magic with ease. After learning to use weapons, they learn to draw power from different planes, studying and learning to imbue their bodies with such energies.

Spellblades are rare sightings, traveling most of their time, studying and learning more about the world and how to enhance themselves. They rarely stay in the same place longer than necessary, learning everything they can before moving to a different place.
Enhanced Warriors
All magi learn to infuse their bodies with magical energy, altering their bodies as long as they are alive. Most spellblades train as a way to achieve a philosophy of perfect mind on perfect body, and this enhances them to levels not comprehensible by most mortals. Spellblades group themselves according to their "dogmas", defined by their types of arcane practice, molding the way they draw raw magic and the sources they tap into to do so.
Not all warriors capable of wielding weapons and cast magic spells is a spellblade. While most that do so seek the arcane ways to improve their combat or survival abilities, spellblades do so as a way of life and a form of art and expression.
Creating a Spellblade
Spellblades are not brutes nor thrill junkies; they carefully practice their art as a way of personal expression, and engage on combat as a way to prove themselves. Your character background and motivations shall reflect the philosophy of the dogma it follows. Consider such dogma's philosophy, how it has shaped his personality and what are his goals.
Also, consider who taught him the delicate art of the magi, why your character decided to adopt such a mantle, and why you are going on adventures.

Warlock
Warlocks are well known for the community, loved and appreciated as an edgy class with lots of roleplaying potential. The class is pretty efficient as it is, but my intention, as well as with other classes, is making it less relying on short rests, rebalancing it to cope with groups with many non short rests classes, as well as giving more options for customization.

Otherworldly Patron
At 1st level, you have struck a bargain with an otherworldly being of your choice. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, 14th and 20th level.
Pact Magic
Your arcane research and the magical essence bestowed on you by your patron have given you facility with spells.
Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. You learn additional warlock cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Warlock table.
You can change one of your warlock cantrips when you reach a new level in the warlock class.
Mana Points
Your patron has granted you a limited amount of magical essence known as mana. You have a pool of this energy represented by a number of points equal to your warlock level known as mana points. This energy can be used by you to cast any of your Warlock spells. To cast one of these spells, you must spend a number of mana points equal to the spell's level, up to your spell slot limit, as per the Warlock table.
You recover all expended mana points whenever you finish a short or long rest.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know one 1st-level spells of your choice from the warlock spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Warlock table shows when you learn more warlock spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you can cast, using the Spell Limit column on the class table.
![](https://sagegamers.com/ezoimgfmt/149658804.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/download-2.jpg?ezimgfmt=ng%3Awebp%2Fngcb1%2Frs%3Adevice%2Frscb1-2)
For example, when you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new warlock spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose any number of warlock spells you know and replace them with another spells from the warlock spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
When you get this feature at 1st level, you choose your spellcasting ability between Charisma and Intelligence. The patron you choose affects such ability, as it represents the way that you approached your patron and how you channel it's magical teachings. Some patrons may directly imbue with raw power, that you then must tap using your own willpower (charisma), while others might impart their knowledge directly into your mind, granting you the ability to cast spells trough comprehension of such secrets (intelligence).
You use the ability score whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your selected ability modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC
Spell attack modifier
Spellcasting Proficiency
When you choose a spellcasting ability, you also become proficient in saving throws associated with such ability.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.
Demanding Patron
On Abbeorht, patrons demand as much of their warlock as gods themselves, and thus, a warlock can lose it's source of power if it's patron decides that such creature no longer serves its purposes. A patron can block or weaken certain spells or abilities from it's warlock, but this is a demanding task, even for the most powerful of creatures. Some patrons might work tirelessly, trying to reabsorb the power invested on an agent, but such occurrence is extremely rare, and is just temporary. Finally, some prefer to simply wipe out the pests that they have created, sending agents to hunt the warlock gone rogue.
When a warlock is castigated by its patron, it loses access to all spells and subclass features, but eldritch gifts, eldtrich blast and proficiencies are still usable by the weakened warlock.
A warlock can work for forgiveness, or search for a new patron, maybe an enemy of his former patron...
Eldritch Blast
At 2nd level, your patron has granted you the ability to produce a beam of magical force to damage your enemies. This is known as an eldritch blast, and has the following features:
- To create it, you must have a free hand and use your action to target a creature within 120 feet from you.
- You make a ranged spell attack with it using your spellcasting ability for the attack roll.
- It inflicts 1d10 force damage on a hit.
You can create additional beams when using this feature as part of the same action as you gain levels in the warlock class. You create 2 eldritch blast beams at 5th level, 3 beams at 11th level and 4 beams at 18th level. Each blast requires an individual attack roll.
Eldritch Gifts
Though either your study of occult lore or the influence of your patron (or both), you have unearthed Eldritch Gifts, fragments of forbidden knowledge and strange abilities that imbue you with an abiding magical ability.
At 2nd level, you learn an eldritch gift of your choice. You gain additional invocations of your choice every other warlock level you gain, as shown in the Invocations Known column of the Warlock table. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the invocations you know and replace it with another invocation that you could learn at that level.
Pact Boon
At 3rd level, your otherworldly patron bestows a gift upon you for your loyal service. You gain one of the following 9 features of your choice.
You can change your Pact Boon option whenever you gain a level in the warlock class.
Pact of the Blade
You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it. You are proficient with it while you wield it. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.
You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest.
You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.
Pact of the Chain
You learn the Find Familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn't count against your number of spells known.
![](https://149658804.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/dnd_original_character_by_mainyuu_dcyzon6-fullview.jpg)
When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of the following special forms: imp, pseudodragon, quasit, or sprite.
Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to use its reaction to make one attack.
Pact of the Chalice
Your patron grants you a magical vessel that allows you to create restorative liquids. As an action, you can create a Pact Chalice in an empty hand. When summoned, it takes the form of a tiny object of your choice that is capable of holding liquids, and it grants you the benefits listed below:
- You can use it as a spellcasting focus for warlock spells.
- It counts as both a herbalism supplies and a set of alchemist's supplies. Whenever you use it as such you can add your proficiency bonus to the roll. If it already has your proficiency bonus, it is doubled instead.
- You or any creature of your choice can drink from the vial, even if it's empty. The creature that drinks from it recovers a number of hit points equal to 2d4 + your Warlock level. You can do so a number of times equal to your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum once) and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Your Pact Chalice disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute, if you use this feature again, if you dismiss your Chalice (no action required), or if you die.

Your patron lends you a magical flute (or any other portable instrument of your choice) that grants you proficiency in the Performance skill. You are considered proficient with such instrument, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for rolls made to play it.
Also, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your Warlock spells.
Finally, you learn a bard cantrip of your choice. It counts as a warlock cantrip for you, but doesn't counts towards the total number of cantrips you know. You can replace this cantrip fro another of the same spell list whenever you finish a long rest.
Your Pact Flute disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute, if you use this feature again, if you dismiss it (no action required), or if you die.
Pact of the Key
You get a strange key that allows you to open virtually all locks. They count as a set of thieve's tools for you. You are considered proficient with it, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for rolls you make with it.
Moreover, while you have the key on your possession, you have advantage to avoid being grappled or restrained.
If you ever lost the key, you can conduct a one hour long ritual to create a new one. The key banishes into nothing when you create a new key or if you die.
Pact of the Mask
You requested your patron an artifact to cover your identity, and you received a mask from it. The mask is made of a material related to your patron, and it's appearance is determined by you every time you create a new one.
You can don or doff the mask as a bonus action, and while you're wearing it, you have the following advantages:
- You have advantage on saving throws against the charmed, frightened and possessed conditions.
- Attempts to discern your identity or track you have disadvantage.
- Creatures who discover your true identity while wearing the mask must succeed on a Wisdom save against your spell DC or immediately forget said information. Those who have seen you put on the mask are immune to this feature.
You can conduct a one hour long ritual to replace your mask if you want to change it's appearance or if you lose it. The mask banishes when you create a new one or if you die.
Pact of the Shield
Your patron wants you alive, so it has given you a magical shield. The shield appears on your hands and is a standard shield with the appearance of your choice. You're considered proficient with it. While wielding it, you can cast your warlock spells as if the hand were free.
You can transform one magic shield into your pact shield by performing a special ritual while you hold the shield. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can’t affect an artifact or a sentient shield in this way. The shield ceases being your pact shield if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different shield, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it.
Additionally, you learn the shield spell, it doesn't count against your number of spells known.
Pact of the Talisman
Your patron gives you an amulet, a talisman that can aid the wearer when the need is great. When the wearer fails an ability check, they can add a d4 to the roll, potentially turning the roll into a success. This benefit can be used a number of times equal to half your warlock level (rounded up), and all expended uses are restored when you finish a long rest.
If you lose the talisman, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous amulet. The talisman turns to ash when you die.
Pact of the Tome
Your patron gives you a grimoire called a Book of Shadows. When you gain this feature, choose three cantrips from any class's spell list (the three needn't be from the same list). While the book is on your person, you can cast those cantrips at will. They don't count against your number of cantrips known. If they don't appear on the warlock spell list, they are nonetheless warlock spells for you.
If you lose your Book of Shadows, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous book. The book turns to ash when you die.

You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
At higher levels, you gain more warlock spells of your choice that can be cast in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th level, one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
You can replace any of your mystic arcanums after finishing a full rest.
Eldritch Champion
Starting 20th level, your patron grants you access to magical secrets, allowing you to tap into an apparently endless font of magic. Choose a 1st level spell from your Warlock known spells.

You can also replace any of your known warlock cantrip and spells when you finish a full rest.

New Subclasses
Gods in Abbeorht aren't like those of other worlds: they were created fixed to their portfolios, and thus, neither mortals nor other gods can claim such powers, even if the god "dies". This has affected powerful entities that crave godhood, but they will never be able to reach divinity... Or will they? Anyway, these powerful creatures are able to grant power to mortals, falling into one of 20 different "types" of patrons. Different beings can grant different types of pacts to their servants, according to what they might need them to do.
Otherwordly Patron: The Ancient Beast
You have made a pact with an ancient bestial creature, a being of prime essence. These beasts sometimes are contacted by mortals, who ask their favor and power in exchange of favors, tasks and missions. As a result, those who undergo in a pact with these creatures gain the bestial abilities for survival and hunt of those patrons, changing their bodies forever, as the savage essence of their patrons leaks into their mortal self.

You gain a second option at 6th warlock level. Once you've chosen an option, you cannot later change it.

This dreadful transformation remains for 1 minute, and you can end it early as a bonus action. You can use this feature once, and recover the ability to do so after you finish a long rest.
Otherwordly Patron: The Archfey
The lords of the feylords are cunning, manipulative, alien and magnificent creatures that sometimes find that their business extend to the lands of the mortals.
![](http://www.worldanvil.com/media/cache/cover/uploads/images/0ec47cbc24b5258e5f4229b8400e214f.jpg)
In such cases, these beings contact some (un)lucky individuals, proposing them a pact in exchange for their willing servitude, giving them a fraction of their god-like abilities.
Creatures known to grant these kind of pacts include Titania, the Queen of the Summer Court; Hyrsam the satyr bard and Prince of Fools; the mysterious and dangerous lord of crows Dubh Catha; as well as any other fey with a legitimate noble or royal title.
The following text replaces the PHB's subclass entry.

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 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.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until 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 start of your next turn or until you attack or cast a spell.

Beguiling Defenses
Beginning at 10th level, your patron teaches you how to turn the mind-affecting magic of your enemies against them.

This effect ends early if the creature takes any damage.
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.
Otherwordly Patron: The Archmage
The complexity of the arcane magic is, maybe, only fully comprehended by those that have reached the higher degree of mastery over the matter: archmages. These powerful wizards have spent centuries honing their abilities and knowledge, but sometimes however, some of them came to understand that are unable to do everything they need to, and thus, search for some thralls to command, infusing them with their magical proficiency.
Your patron can be any wizard that has achieved the title of archmage, such as Velsharoon, the lich lord or Hazlik, the darklord of Hazlan; Some beings can also grant this favor, like Mephistopheles, the Archdevil patron of magic; Baba Yaga, the mother of witches or even Shub-Niggurath, The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young.

Magical Acceleration
Starting 6th level, your mind has been improved by your patron.

Once you've done so, you must finish a short or long rest before being able to do so again.
Antimagical Aegis
At 10th level, your patron has granted you enough magical knowledge for you to start to develop your own magical dogma. You can decide to add your spellcasting ability modifier to any saving throw against magic that doesn't benefit from your proficiency bonus. You must do so before rolling the saving throw.
You can do so once between short or long rests.
Wizardly Secrets
At 14th level, your patron has granted you knowledge of a new powerful spell. Choose any 6th level spell from the wizard spell list. You can cast that spell once whitout using a mystic arcanum use, and recover the ability to do so after you finish a long rest.
You can change such spell during a long rest.
Otherwordly Patron: The Celestial
While most people relate warlocks to evil or obscure creatures like fiends, elementals, undead or otherwordly quasi-divine beings, some of them serve to creatures that are actually benevolent.
Ranging from different realms across the upper planes, the powerful celestials that contact mortals to serve them usually grant them the opportunity to do so as a way of redemption or as a reward for their deeds.
Creatures known to grant these kind of pacts include the queen of the star court Morwel; Barachiel, the legendary celestial messenger of Mount Celestia; Talisid, the leonid great champion of the companions, and many other powerful inhabitants of the upper realms.
The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.

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 spellcasting ability modifier (minimum of one die). Roll the dice you spend, add them together, and restore a number of hit points equal to the total.
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 add your spellcasting ability modifier to one radiant or fire damage roll of that spell against one of its targets.
Celestial Resistance
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 spellcasting ability 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 spellcasting ability modifier.
Searing Vengeance
Starting at 14th 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 spellcasting ability modifier, and 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.
Otherwordly Patron: The Coven
Hags and other vile creatures know that the success of their ventures depends not only on themselves, but on the union (even if sometimes it isn't willing). Usually, some individuals might be driven towards some of these groups, known as covens, hoping to be invested with dark and superior powers. You are one of those fools, now bonded in service of a hag coven. Your patrons might be demanding, benevolent or even kind with you, but you must be wise to remember: you are a pawn in a bigger scheme.
Some creatures known to grant these knid of pacts are mainly hag covens, such as the one maintained by Lorinda, the green hag darklord of Tepest, or by Morgantha, the night hag living in Barovia.

Also at 1st level, your patrons have granted you a magical eye that looks like a gemstone. The eye grants you the ability to communicate with your patrons, and they can see everything you do. While you keep the eye with you, you have advantage on saving throws to avoid being blinded.
As an action, you can replicate the effects of the arcane eye spell with the following changes:
- The eye isn't invisible, but is covered by magic that grants disadvantage on skill checks to detect it.
- It has an AC 13 + your proficiency bonus and a number of HP equal to your warlock level.
- The eye originates from you.
- The duration of the effect is reduced to 1 minute.
- When the spell ends, the eye falls to the ground.

Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you have finished a long rest.
Coven Leader
Starting 14th level, the leader of your coven patron has taught you how to draw power from other spellcaster.

It uses your spellcasting ability and counts as a warlock spell. You cannot use this feature if one of the bonded spellcasters is unconscious or dies. You can replace one of the spellcasters of your coven repeating the ritual during a long rest.
You can use this feature twice, and recover all expended charges when you finish a long rest.
Otherwordly Patron: The Elder Dragon
Mortals have always admired and feared dragons, magnificent and dangerous creatures that were directly related to the first chapters of Abbeorht's story. Since the war of dragons, mortals hold a grudge against these creatures, and the other way is also true. Despite this, some mortals seek the favor of ancient and powerful dragons, exchanging their freedom for power.
Almost any elder dragon (living or not) is able to grant these kind of powers to their followers, like the five ancient dragons members of the council of metallic dragons, or any other true dragon willing to lend you it's power.

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), you can make one of the following effects to happen without using your reaction.
- Flashing Radiance. A flash of light resembling the color of your patron appears in the eyes of a creature of your choice that you can see within 60 feet from you in an attempt to blind it. The target must succeed on a dexterity saving throw, or get disadvantage on their next attack roll before the end of it's next turn. Creatures with special senses (like blindsight or tremorsense) can make attack rolls without disadvantage if they can use their special senses.
- Hostile Environment. Energy leashes toward a creature of your choice that you can see within 60 feet from you, dealing 1d6 + your spellcasting modifier as damage of that of your patron (as per the Dragon Patron Table).

- Treacherous Winds. A powerful wind charged with the wrath of your patron targets a creature that you can see within 60 feet from you, making it make a strength saving throw. On a failure, the creature is pushed 5 feet towards a direction of your choice without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Some creatures are capable of controlling the elements with terrible ease: either for being pure manifestations of the element (like elementals), or thanks to a legitimate influence over it (like some archfeys or demons, among others).

There are things that inhabit the depths of the oceans, not only from the material plane, but also from other realms.
![](https://i.redd.it/w85lz1xw1rj61.jpg)
Those who contact the powerful rulers of the depths usually are offered a pact because they need agents to work on the surface. These creatures rarely accept a warlock, but those who are "blessed" by them gain the power of the sea to command.
Creatures known to grant these kind of pacts include the feared and evil Demon Lord known only as "the Queen of Chaos"; The demonic lord Dagon who rules over creatures of the depths; Ben Hadar, the good elemental prince of water; Other creatures include ancient krakes, dragon turtles and more alien unknown creatures from the depths.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Otherwordly Patron: The Fiend
Maybe the most known creatures to undergo pacts and grant mortals boon in exchange for their services are fiends. These creatures are known for asking for the souls of mortals, but their warlocks usually exchange something else (depending on each fiend) in exchange for their abilities, usually a pact of servitude to avoid handing out their souls (and most probably giving other's souls to their patrons).
Creatures known to grant these kind of pacts include The chaotic and destructive prince of demons Demogorgon; the devil lord of secrets and information Dispater; Fraz-Urb’luu, the demon lord of deceptions; sometimes even powerful Yugoloths or even matriarchs among night hags can offer the pact, but is usually unwise to accept them...

At 10th level, your patron lends you it's freezing touch, gaining immunity to cold damage.

Ice Block
Starting 14th level, you can encase a creature in pure and indestructible ice. You can frost a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. An unwilling creature must succeed in a strength saving throw, becoming completely frozen, being unable to move, attack or cast spells but being completely immune to all sources of damage and spells.

Genie’s Vessel
Also at 1st level, your patron gifts you a magical vessel that grants you a measure of the genie's power.
The vessel is a Tiny object, and you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells. You decide what the object is, or you can determine what it is randomly by rolling on the Genie's Vessel table.
Genie's Vessel Table
d6 | Vessel |
---|---|
1 | Oil lamp |
2 | Urn |
3 | Ring with a compartment |
4 | Stoppered bottle |
5 | Hollow statuette |
6 | Ornate lantern |
While you are touching the vessel, you can use it in the following ways:
- Bottled Respite. As an action, you can magically vanish and enter your vessel, which remains in the space you left. The interior of the vessel is an extradimensional space in the shape of a 20-foot-radius cylinder, 20 feet high, and resembles your vessel. The interior is appointed with cushions and low tables and is a comfortable temperature. While inside, you can hear the area around your vessel as if you were in its space. You can remain inside the vessel up to a number of hours equal to twice your proficiency bonus. You exit the vessel early if you use a bonus action to leave, if you die, or if the vessel is destroyed. When you exit the vessel, you appear in the unoccupied space closest to it. Any objects left in the vessel remain there until carried out, and if the vessel is destroyed, every object stored there harmlessly appears in the unoccupied spaces closest to the vessel's former space. Once you enter the vessel, you can't enter again until you finish a long rest.
- Genie’s Wrath. Once during each of your turns when you hit with an attack roll, you can deal extra damage to the target equal to your proficiency bonus. The type of this damage is determined by your patron: bludgeoning (dao), thunder (djinni), fire (efreeti), or cold (marid).
The vessel's AC equals your spell save DC. Its hit points equal your warlock level plus your proficiency bonus, and it is immune to poison and psychic damage.
If the vessel is destroyed or you lose it, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and the previous vessel is destroyed if it still exists. The vessel vanishes in a flare of elemental power when you die.
Elemental Gift
At 6th level, you begin to take on characteristics of your patron's kind. You now have resistance to a damage type determined by your patron's kind: bludgeoning (dao), thunder (djinni), fire (efreeti), or cold (marid).
In addition, as a bonus action, you can give yourself a flying speed of 30 feet that lasts for 10 minutes, during which you can hover. You can use this bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Sanctuary Vessel
At 10th level, when you enter your Genie's Vessel via the Bottled Respite feature, you can now choose up to five willing creatures that you can see within 30 feet of you, and the chosen creatures are drawn into the vessel with you.
As a bonus action, you can eject any number of creatures from the vessel, and everyone is ejected if you leave or die or if the vessel is destroyed.
In addition, anyone (including you) who remains within the vessel for at least 10 minutes gains the benefit of finishing a short rest, and anyone can add your proficiency bonus to the number of hit points they regain if they spend any Hit Dice as part of a short rest there.
Limited Wish
At 14th level, you entreat your patron to grant you a small wish. As an action, you can speak your desire to your Genie's Vessel, requesting the effect of one spell that is 6th level or lower and has a casting time of 1 action. The spell can be from any class's spell list, and you don't need to meet the requirements in that spell, including costly components: the spell simply takes effect as part of this action.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish 1d4 long rests.
Otherwordly Patron: The Great Old One
When the far realm came into contact with our world, not only Abbeorht was invaded by the aberrations, but also the entire cosmos that surrounded this creation. Those creatures that lurk beyond the world are dangerous and so alien that even contemplating them at millions of miles can drive observers mad.
![](https://www.belloflostsouls.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Star_pact_warlock.jpg)
Despite that, many seek them for the promise of learning the unfathomable knowledge of countless worlds and how to "open their minds" to the truth.

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.

Thought Shield

Be it because they intend to use them or just grant them to "deserving" creatures, the real purposes of these beings is unknown.

Hex Warrior
At 1st level, you acquire the training necessary to effectively arm yourself for battle. You gain proficiency with medium armor, shields (except tower 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 spellcasting ability modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. If you later gain the Pact of the Blade feature, this benefit extends to every pact weapon you conjure with that feature, no matter the weapon's type.
Accursed Specter
Starting at 6th level, you can curse the soul of a person you slay, temporarily binding it in your service. When you slay a humanoid, you can cause its spirit to rise from its corpse as a specter.

Master of Hexes
Starting at 14th level, you can spread your Forged Curse from a slain creature to another creature. When the creature cursed by your Forged Curse dies, you can apply the curse to a different creature you can see within 30 feet of you, provided you aren't incapacitated.

Otherwordly Patron: The Machine
While the world of Abbeorht has technology, it isn't as advanced as that of other worlds across the multiverse, and despite, some beings made of metal instead of flesh with a vast intelligence far over that of mortals seem to exist in our reality. Some where created by the gods, by the outer planes or by deranged inventors, while others simply came to be and threaten the world and it's inhabitants.
Creatures known to grant these kind of pacts include the Primus, the governor of the plane of Mechanus; the so called "God Machine", an otherwordly entity made of metal from the far realm; Mechaniel, the strange angel made of metal that attempts to restart the world of Abbeorht.

- Fox. You gain proficiency in the Deception skill. Also, you can take the disengage action as a bonus action on each of your turns.
- Raccoon. You gain proficiency in the Stealth and Survival skills. Also, you gain proficiency with thieve's tools.
- Serpent. You learn the poison spray cantrip. It counts as a warlock spell for you but doesn't counts towards the total number of cantrips you know. Also, you gain proficiency with poisoner's supplies.
- Shark. You gain a swimming speed equal to your movement speed. Also, you add half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) as a bonus to your attack rolls against creatures that are below half it's hit points.

Primal Warrior
Also at 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons, medium armor and shields (except tower shields). If you later choose the Pact of the blade you can also create a simple or martial ranged weapon with it, creating even non magical ammunition that disappears after hitting or missing it's target.
Spirits of Nature
Starting 6th level, your patron can be convinced to lend it's aid in a more direct way. You learn the Spirit Guardians spell, it counts as a warlock spell for you but doesn't count towards the total number of spells you know. Whenever you cast the spell, you summon spiritual creatures that resemble the appearance of your patron.
Primal Health
At 10th level, your contact with your patron grants your body an enhanced health. You gain resistance to poison damage, and become immune to diseases. You also gain advantage on saving throws against being poisoned and polymorph effects.
Enthrall Beast
Starting 14th level, your patron is pleased by your actions, and has granted you the ability to summon a loyal beast to serve you. As an action, you conjure a beast of your choice from the beastlands, with a CR equal to 1/5 your Warlock level, rounded down. The creature is charmed by you, and acts as if under a Dominate Beast spellwith the following changes:
- You don't require concentration on the effect.
- It's duration is 1 hour, until you end the effect as an action or until the beast dies.
- It's attacks count as magical and silvered for purposes of overcoming resistances and immunities.
When the spell ends, the beast vanishes, returning to the beastlands. Once you've used this feature, you cannot use it again until you've finished a long rest.
Otherwordly Patron: The Undead
The world of Abbeorht is ravaged by countless creatures that refuse to death in an unatural way, as they are not alive nor dead, and exist in a limbo called undeath. Many of these creatures have grew powerful over centuries existing, and they require the assistance of mortal agents. These agents are awarded strange abilities that draw directly from the unholy nature of their patrons.
Creatures known to grant these kind of pacts include Anktepot, the mummy lord and dark lord of Har'Akir; Kannoth, the vampire unseelie lord; Acererark the eternal, maybe the most powerful archlich of the multiverse; other creatures include powerful ghosts.
The following text replaces the VRGtR's subclass entry.
Expanded Spell List
The Undead lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Undead Expanded Spells
Warlock Level | Spell |
---|---|
1 | Bane, False Life |
3 | Blindness/Deafness, Phantasmal Force |
5 | Phantom Steed, Speak with Dead |
7 | Death Ward, Greater Invisibility |
9 | Antilife Shell, Cloudkill |
Grave Touched
Starting 1st level, you learn one cantrip from the necromancy school of any spell list of your choice. It counts as a warlock cantrip for you but doesn't count towards the total number of cantrips you know.
Form of Dread
At 1st level, 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, 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 a number of times equal to half your warlock level (rounded up), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a 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
At 6th level, your patron’s powers have a profound effect on your body and magic. You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
In addition, once during each of your turns, when you hit a creature with an attack 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
At 10th level, 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 are 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. 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
At 14th level, 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 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 your Form of Dread feature is active, once on 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.
Otherwordly Patron: The Undying
The worst subclass made ever, criticized and attacked since it's release in the SCAG, the undying patron's purpose is making the warlock harder to kill, a mortal being capable of surviving grievous and mortal injuries, and even being able to return from the grave. This reworks does everything there is possible for this subclass to return from the grave where most D&D players have buried it.
Expanded Spell List
The Undying lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
Undying Expanded Spells
Warlock Level | Spell |
---|---|
1 | False Life, Shield |
3 | Gentle Repose, Protection from Poison |
5 | Feigh Death, Speak with Dead |
7 | Aura of Life, Death Ward |
9 | Contagion, Death's Veil* |
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2b/14/8d/2b148ddbd60f98ddd3fc3aef0c422f31.jpg)
Undying Health
Starting 1st level, your body has a higher resilience. At 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in the warlock class.
You also have advantage on saving throws against diseases
Defy Death
Also at 1st level, you learn the Spare the Dying cantrip, which counts as a warlock cantrip for you but doesn't count towards the total number of cantrips you know. When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can use this feature once, and recover the ability to do so after finishing a long rest.
Soul Channeling
Starting 6th level, you're able to revitalize your body and those of your friends with the death around you. When a creature within 30 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points, you can cast the spare dying cantrip as a reaction on it with a range of 30 feet.
Also, whenever a creature dies within 30 feet of you, you can channel a fraction of it's soul to regain 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier hit points.
Either option, you can use this feature a number of times equal to your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Undying Nature
Beginning at 10th level, your body starts to resemble the undead. First, you gain resistance to poison damage and have advantage on saving throws to become poisoned. You also can hold your breath indefinitely, and you don't require food, water, or sleep, although you still require rest to reduce exhaustion and still benefit from short and long rests.
Second, if you put a severed body part of yours back in place, it reattaches the next time you regain hit points.
Finally, you become immune to common diseases, and you age at a slower rate. Your body ages only 1 year for every 10 years that pass, and you are immune to being magically aged.
Immune to Death
When you reach 14th level, your body is so accustomed to walking between life and death that it is almost impossible for you to die. You now have advantage on death saving throws, and cannot be killed instantly by massive damage.
Additionally, even if somehow you're killed, you can choose to come back to life within 1 minute of your death. If at least a fresh body part of you has remained (such like your head, a bone, your heart or an eye), you can cast the resurrection spell on yourself from beyond the grave, requiring no components, and reforming your full body from a body part of your choice after finishing the spell casting time. The rest of your corpse (if any) becomes dust immediately. Once you come back to life this way, you cannot do so again for 1 full month.
Otherwordly Patron: The Warmonger
Most warlocks seek the magical power and the forbidden knowledge that their patrons can bestow upon them;
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/16/3d/78/163d7836c86358b51c9d5605a24cd9cc.jpg)
Few warlocks actually ask for something else, not only magic, but martial proficiency. These warlocks become full fledged warriors able to use any weapon and armor they come across, serving as front line soldiers for their patrons.
Creatures known to grant these kind of pacts include Raziel the Hebdomad crusader, Zariel the Archduchess of Avernus or even Ramya Vasavadan, the Death Knight Darklord of the dominion of dread of Kalakeri.
Expanded Spell List
The Warmonger lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
Warmonger Expanded Spells

3 | Magic Weapon, Spiritual Weapon |
5 | Conjure Barrage, Haste |
7 | Impale*, Mark of Termination* |
9 | Conjure Volley, Steel Wind Strike |
Battle Master
At 1st level, your patron grants you the knowledge to become a prodigy of warfare. You gain proficiency with martial weapons and fierarms.
If you later choose the Pact of the blade you can also create a simple or martial ranged weapon or even a firearm with it, but not ammunition for it.
Also, you can conduct a special ritual on any piece of armor of your choice. During this 1-hour ritual, you make it your pact armor, and can done or doff it as an action. You are considered proficient with it as long as you're wearing it, and you can use your spellcasting ability modifier instead of Strength to determine if you can effectively wear it or not.
Trained Warrior
Starting 1st level, you gain one of the fighting styles from those available to the fighter class. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
You can change your chosen fighting style whenever you finish a full rest if you spend at least 24 hours training in this new style.
![](https://arcaneeye.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/587f1b20a06274131b26c57b8ea8c0c2-e1591488423694-769x481.jpg)
Battle Magic
Starting 6th level, you can make a weapon attack as a bonus action after using your action to cast a warlock cantrip.

Beginning 10th level, your patron gives your pact armor a mystical defensive property. As long as you're wearing your pact armor, you have advantage on saving throws to avoid being charmed, frightened, possessed or turned.
Eldritch Barrage
Starting 14th level, you can unleash a savage barrage of attacks. As an action, you can decide to use any mystic arcanum, and instead of casting the spell, you can make a number of unarmed or weapon attacks equal to the mystic arcanum's level -1. For example, if you use a 6th level arcanum, you can make 5 unarmed or weapon attacks as a single action.
You can do so only once between long rests.

Wonder workers and mythical casters, wizards are the swiss knife of spellcasters, having a really enormous spell list, they are able to aid any group, as their spell book is almost always equipped with the correct (or most closely accurate) tool for the occasion.

Spellcasting
As a student of arcane magic, you have a spellbook containing spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn additional wizard cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Wizard table.
Spellbook
At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing six 1st-level wizard spells of your choice. Your spellbook is the repository of the wizard spells you know, except your cantrips, which are fixed in your mind.
The spells that you add to your spellbook as you gain levels reflect the arcane research you conduct on your own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other spells during your adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil wizard's chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library.
Copying a Spell into the Book
When you find a wizard spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if you have calligrapher's supplies with you, if it is of a spell level you can prepare and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.
Copying a spell into your spellbook involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the wizard who wrote it.
You must practice the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your spellbook using your own notation.
For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 sp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells.
Replacing the Book
You can copy a spell from your own spellbook into another book-for example, if you want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to cast them. You need spend only 1 hour and 25 sp for each level of the copied spell.
If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires you to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many wizards keep backup spellbooks in a safe place.
The Book's Appearance
Your spellbook is a unique compilation of spells, with its own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume that you received as a gift from your master, a finely bound gilt-edged tome you found in an ancient library or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together after you lost your previous spellbook in a mishap.
Expanded Spell List
Wizards add to their spell list all Dunamancy spells.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Wizard table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your wizard spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of wizard spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of wizard spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your wizard level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you're a 3rd-level wizard, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your spellbook. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Magic Missile, 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 wizard spells requires time spent studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization.
You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC
Spell attack modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a wizard spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don't need to have the spell prepared.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.
Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher
Each time you gain a wizard level, you can add two wizard spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Wizard table. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your spellbook.
Arcane Recovery
You have learned to regain some of your magical energy by studying your spellbook. If you expend at least 10 minutes doing nothing during a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your wizard level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.
![](https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/015/569/125/large/rez-gungor-wizard2345recovered.jpg?1548832209)
For example, if you're a 4th-level wizard, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.
Arcane Tradition
When you reach 2nd level, you choose one of the 18 known arcane traditions of the world, shaping your practice of magic through one of them. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
Cantrip Formulas
At 3rd level, you have scribed a set of arcane formulas in your spellbook that you can use to formulate a cantrip in your mind. Once between long rests, you can replace one wizard cantrip you know with another cantrip from the wizard spell list if you spend at least 30 minutes consultating your spellbook.
School Specialist
Also at 3rd level you start to specialize in a specific magical school of your choice. Select one school of magic. You understand spells from this school better, so the time needed to transcribe them to your spellbook is halved.
Also, you gain the listed advantages, and keep gaining new features as you gain levels in the wizard class. Once you've chosen a school, you cannot later change it.
Abjuration
After casting a wizard spell, you gain temporary hit points equal to twice the spell level + your wizard level. These hit points remains for a number of turns equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1).
![](https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/90586/assets/839753/Transmutation.jpg?1521277445)
Conjuration
You can teleport to any unoccupied you can see within 30 feet of you as a bonus action. You can do so a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and recover expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Divination
You can use a bonus action to grant you or any creature of your choice within 60 feet from you that you can see advantage or disadvantage on it's next attack roll within the next minute. An unwilling creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your spell DC or be affected by this feature. You can do so a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Enchantment
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed. Also, you can attempt to charm a creature you can see within 30 feet from you that can both see and hear you. It must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell DC or become charmed by you until the beginning of your next turn. You can do so a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Evocation
When you cast an evocation spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 + the spell's level.
The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.
Illusion
You learn the Minor Illusion cantrip. If you already know this cantrip, you learn a different wizard cantrip of your choice. The cantrip doesn't count against your number of cantrips known. When you cast Minor Illusion, you can create both a sound and an image with a single casting of the spell.
Necromancy
Once per turn when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a wizard spell, you regain hit points equal to twice the spell's level, or three times its level if the spell belongs to the School of Necromancy. You don't gain this benefit for constructs or undead.
Transmutation
After casting a wizard spell, you regain hit points equal to the spell's level. If the spell belongs to the transmutation school, you add your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) to the total number of recovered hit point. You can instead heal a single creature affected by the spell.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/80/e4/b5/80e4b57afda3465ee3f71b0531c4f4cc.jpg)
As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Student of the Arcane
Starting 5th level, your studies of arcane and magical theory grants you further understanding into it. Now, you add half your wizard level (rounded up) to any Arcana check you make.
Scroll Specialist
Starting 7th level, you can understand any spell scroll you find. you can use any spell scroll, ignoring any class limitation for it. You can use your spellcasting ability instead of the one from the spell scroll if you want it.
Also, you gain expertise with calligrapher's supplies.
School Savant
Starting 9th level, You gain an additional benefit for your chosen School Specialist feature.
Abjuration
When you cast an abjuration spell that requires you to make an ability check as a part of casting that spell (as in Counterspell and Dispel Magic), you add your proficiency bonus to that ability check.
Conjuration
While you are concentrating on a conjuration spell, your concentration can't be broken as a result of taking damage.
Divination.
You can no longer be surprised, and you gain blindisght with a 10 feet radius.
Enchantment
Whenever you use your Enchantment's School Specialist feature, you can now target a number of creatures up to your proficiency bonus.
Evocation
You now add your intelligence modifier to any wizard cantrip damage roll you make.
Illusion
Once between long rests, when a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to interpose a illusory duplicate between the attacker and yourself. All attacks from that creature against you automatically misses you, then the illusion dissipates at the end of it's turn.
Necromancy
You gain resistance to necrotic damage, and your hit point maximum can't be reduced except by class features that target yourself.
Transmutation

At 17th level, you have achieved such mastery over certain spells that you can cast them at will. Choose a 1st-level wizard spell and a 2nd-level wizard spell that are in your spellbook from your chosen school of speciality. You can cast those spells at their lowest level without expending a spell slot when you have them prepared. If you want to cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend a spell slot as normal.
By spending 8 hours in study during a full rest you can exchange one or both of the spells you chose for different spells of the same levels.
Signature Spells
When you reach 18th level, you gain mastery over two powerful spells and can cast them with little effort.
Choose two 3rd-level wizard spells of your chosen school of speciality in your spellbook as your signature spells. You always have these spells prepared, they don't count against the number of spells you have prepared, and you can cast each of them once at 3rd level without expending a spell slot. When you do so, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
If you want to cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend a spell slot as normal.
By spending 8 hours in study during a full rest you can exchange one or both of 0the spells you chose for different spells of the same levels.
Archwizard
Starting 20th level, your ability with magic is unparalleled across the world. You can cast a 9th level spell of your choice without spending a spell slot. If you do so, you gain a level of exhaustion.
You can use this feature only once, and recover the ability to do so whwn you finish a full rest.
Subclasses
Mortals of Abbeorht endured most of their history without access to arcane magic, but when they learned to control magic, they soon became dangerous foes. Along the history, arcanists learned to practice their magic in different ways, creating dozens of arcane traditions on the process. Here are the 18 defined arcane traditions that are available for character creation.
![](https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/90586/assets/839397/Arcane_Archer.jpg?1521208602)
Arcane Tradition: Anchor Sniper
While wizards are dexterous in the way of arcane weaving, some have realized that magic sometimes isn't enough, so, many have decided to mix both martial training and magic. Some wizards have gone even further, learning to weave magic into their weapons, being able to channel their powerful spells trough them.
Arcane Shooter
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with light armor, all bows and all crossbows.
Also, you can use your Intelligence instead of your Strength or Dexterity for all magical two handed bows and crossbows. You still must met the Strength requirement of the weapon to properly use it.
Arcane Weapons
At 2nd level, you can imbue a bow or crossbow with powerful magic during a 1 hour ritual to make it an Arcane Weapon. It becomes a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells, and is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and invulnerability to non magical weapons if isn't already. You can only have a single weapon imbued in this way, and if you imbue a new one, the first one loses this property.
Also, when you hit a creature with an imbued weapon, you add a +2 to your next spell attack roll against it before the ending of your next turn.
Mark of Tethering
Starting 6th level, you can mark those enemies that you hit your bolts and arrows. When you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack made with an Arcane Weapon, you can mark it. While marked, you have advantage on ranged weapon attack rolls against the creature, and you ignore half cover against it, and 3/4 cover counts only as half cover against it for ranged attacks. You can maintain concentration on this effect as if concentrating in a spell for up to 1 minute.
You can mark enemies a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Reflex Shooting
At 10th level, you've developed the ability to make quick shots. You can make a ranged weapon attack as a bonus action after casting a 1st or higher level wizard spell.
Dual Spell
Starting 14th level, you have mastered the ability to transmit your magic through your arcane anchors. Once per turn when you hit a creature marked by your Mark of Tethering feature with a ranged spell attack, you can repeat the attack roll against another creature within range originated from the first creature.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Bladesinging
While most wizards prefer to keep their enemies at long distance and avoid meting them in close quarters combat, some wizards train to combine both martial training and spellcasting, resulting in a devastating practice. These wizards develop an arcane melody produced by their blades as they swing them across the battlefield with an elegant and precise style, hence their name of bladesingers. The follwoing text replaces the TCoE's subclass entry.
Training in War and Song
When you adopt this tradition at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with light armor, and you gain proficiency with two of the following weapons of your choice: battleaxes, handaxes, longswords, rapiers, sabres, shortswords or sickles. You can use your Intelligence instead of your Strength or Dexterity scores for both attack and damage rolls using your chosen weapons. You still need to met their Strength requirement to properly use them.
You also gain proficiency in the Performance skill if you don’t already have it.
Bladesong
Starting at 2nd level, you can invoke an elven magic called the Bladesong, provided that you aren’t wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield. It graces you with supernatural speed, agility, and focus.
You can use a bonus action to start the Bladesong, which lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you don medium or heavy armor or a shield, or if you use two hands to make an attack with a weapon. You can also dismiss the Bladesong at any time (no action required).
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e6/c8/34/e6c8349313bc1aefa1cbf5caa709a0d3.jpg)
While your Bladesong is active, you gain the following benefits:
- You gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1)
- Your walking speed increases by 10 feet.
- You have advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks.
- You add your proficiency bonus as a bonus to any Constitution saving throw you make to maintain your concentration on a wizard spell.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your wizard level (rounded up), and you regain all expended uses of it when 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.
Song of Defense
Beginning at 10th level, you can direct your magic to absorb damage while your Bladesong is active. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to expend one spell slot and reduce that damage to you by an amount equal to five times the spell slot's level.
Song of Victory
Starting at 14th level, you can add your Proficiency bonus to the damage of your melee weapon attacks while your Bladesong is active.
Arcane Tradition: Celestial Magic
The divine realms have always been a source of mystery and fascination for mortals: their magical energy is usually associated with clergy and the gods, but there is a fraction of such magic that is actually related to the arcane.
Those wizards that devote themselves to the study of celestial magic learn how to evoke the radiant magic that floods the upper realms, learning to enhance their allies, summon celestials and smite their enemies with holy light.
Celestial Savant
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you have understood some basics of divine magic. You gain proficiency in the Religion skill, and you learn how to read, write and speak celestial.
Also, you learn one cantrip of your choice from the cleric spell list. This counts as a wizard cantrip for you but doesn't counts towards the total number of cantrips you know.
Divine Magic
Starting 2nd level, you've learned how to produce arcane divine magic, a secretive art for most mortals. Whenever you gain a wizard level, you can replace one of the wizard spells you add to your spellbook with a cleric spell of your choice.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/8b/4e/87/8b4e87414e63330f62a2c2be4e87ceeb.jpg)
The spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Any cleric spell you gain from this feature is considered a wizard spell for you, but other wizards can’t copy these spells into their own spell books.
If you ever lose your spellbook, you can copy all cleric spells you had in your previous spellbook into a new one after a 1 hour long ritual paying 1 gold coin per spell level. These spells then are lost forever from the previous spellbook.
Celestial Purge
Starting 6th level, your magic leaks a protecting energy. When you hit an aberration, elemental, fey, fiend or undead creature with a spell attack, you can decide to deal radiant damage instead of the normal damage of the spell.
When you affect a creature with this feature, you can use a bonus action to force it to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell DC. On a failure, it is turned until the beginning of your next turn.
You can attempt to turn creatures a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Divine Reconstitution
By 10th level, your magic has been infused with divine energy. When you cast a wizard spell of 1st or higher level that targets a single friendly creature, the target recovers a number of hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) + the spell level.
Celestial Conjuration
At 14th level, you've learned ho to summon celestials to aid you. You learn the conjure celestial spell if you don't already know it. When you cast it, the maximum CR of the celestial you can summon increases by an amount equal to half your Intelligence modifier (rounded down) (minimum 1).
Arcane Tradition: Chaos Magic
Chaos scarred the world, changing forever the way magic is used by spellcasters. This chaos made magic harder to sustain, but some wizards soon realized that such power could be shaped for their own purposes. Chaos magic is a dangerous force, but those that venture in it's study and evocation soon found themselves wielding devastating magic in their hands (often at the expense of their own lives).
Chaotic Learning
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, your study of chaos lets you learn spells with ease. The time needed to transcribe any wizard spell into your spellbook is halved.
As a result of your chaotic notes, your spellbook is hard to understand, and anyone trying to read a spell from it must succeed on an Arcana check against your spellcasting DC.
Wild Evoker
At 2nd level, you have learned to evoke "controlled" chaos into your spells. Whenever you cast a wizard spell of 1st or higher level, you can choose one of the following options:
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1f/b0/75/1fb07588795f456a507c645f767bdeb4.jpg)
- Deal a number of extra die of damage equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded up).
- Double your proficiency bonus in the spell attack roll.
- Increase the DC of a spell by 1/6 your wizard level (rounded down, minimum 1).
When you use this feature, you receive a number of d4s equal to the spell's level as force damage as chaos ravages your body. This damage cannot be reduced by any means.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your Wizard level (rounded up), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Twisted Spells
At 6th level, you know how to alter your spells to provoke aberrant effects. When you cast a wizard spells of 1st or higher level that deals damage, you can roll 1d8 to change the damage it deals, as the following table.
d8 | Damage Type |
---|---|
1 | Acid |
2 | Cold |
3 | Fire |
4 | Force |
d8 | Damage Type |
---|---|
5 | Lightning |
6 | Necrotic |
7 | Poison |
8 | Thunder |
Also, you add the chaos bolt spell to your spellbook, but no other wizard can copy it to it's own. It counts as a wizard spell for you. You always have it prepared and it doesn't count toward the total number of spells you can prepare.
Reckless Arcana
By 10th level, you can reuse the lingering chaos that your spells leave behind when it ravages your flesh. When you cast a wizard spell using your Wild Evoker feature, you can use your bonus action to cast any wizard cantrip you know before the ending of your turn.
Chaos Rituals
Also at 10th level, your insight into chaos magic leaks into your comprehension of rituals. Wizard spells you cast as rituals have their cast time halved at the expense of doubling the material cost. You can also do the opposite, halving the price at the expense of doubling the cast time.
Entropic Feedback
Starting 14th level, you can draw energy from the chaotic strings of the existence. When you use your Wild Evoker feature, you can decide to recover 1 spell slot of a lower level than the used spell slot, up to 5th level instead of casting a cantrip as a bonus action. Doing so requires no action.
Arcane Tradition: Chronurgy
Time is a difficult time to describe, even for those who have spent centuries studying it. Time rises fear among mortals, brings the end of things and the beginning of new eras, and as an uncontrollable and little understood force, those wizards that devote themselves to it are rare but dangerous, even if they cannot fully understand what they work with. The following text replaces the EGtW's subclass entry.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c5/1a/4f/c51a4f0316c91147e5e0371ede1b1087.jpg)
![](https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/002/821/983/large/irina-kuzmina-demonologist-nordsol-original.jpg?1466103783)
Chronal Shift
At 2nd level, you can magically exert limited control over the flow of time around a creature. As a reaction, after you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can force the creature to reroll. You make this decision after you see whether the roll succeeds or fails. The target must use the result of the second roll.
You can use this ability a number of times equal to half your Wizard level (rounded up), and you regain any expended use when you finish a long rest.
Temporal Awareness
Starting at 2nd level, you can add your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) as a bonus to your initiative rolls.
Momentary Stasis
When you reach 6th level, as an action, you can magically force a Large or smaller creature you can see within 60 feet of you to make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. Unless the saving throw is a success, the creature is encased in a field of magical energy until the end of your next turn or until the creature takes any damage. While encased in this way, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of 0.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Arcane Abeyance
At 10th level, when you cast a spell using a spell slot of 4th level or lower, you can condense the spell's magic into a mote. The spell is frozen in time at the moment of casting and held within a gray bead for 1 hour.
This bead is a Tiny object with AC 15 and 1 hit point, and it is immune to poison and psychic damage. When the duration ends, or if the bead is destroyed, it vanishes in aflash of light, and the spell is lost.
A creature holding the bead can use its action to release the spell within, whereupon the bead disappears. The spell uses your spell attack bonus and save DC, and the spell treats the creature who released it as the cast for all other purposes.
Once you create a bead with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Convergent Future
Starting at 14th level, you can peer through possible futures and magically pull one of them into events around you, ensuring a particular outcome. When you or a creature you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to ignore the die roll and decide whether the number rolled is the minimum needed to succeed or one less than that number (your choice).
When you use this feature, you gain one level of exhaustion. Only by finishing a long rest can you remove a level of exhaustion gained in this way.
Arcane Tradition: Demonology
Mortals know about fiends: horrible, twisted and vile cruel creatures, tempting mortals and preying on them. Many heroes have fought against them, but a small amount of arcanists have taken the task of studying and dominate them. Wizards that become demonologists learn how to summon, control and combat fiends. They are usually feared and not trusted, but when fiends are somehow involved, they are first to answer and investigate the events.
Lower Planes' Initiated
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you learn how to read, write and speak both infernal and abyssal. If you already know one of them, you instead learn another exotic language of your choice in its place.
Also, whenever you make a Charisma check while interacting with fiends, you add your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) as a bonus to the roll. You instinctively know the CR of a demon when you first interact with it.
Demonologist Spells
Starting 2nd level, you have learned how to shape your magic after your study of fiends. You add the Find Familiar spell to your spellbook if you don't already have it. When you cast it, you can summon an Imp or a Quasit with it.
Also, whenever you gain the indicated level, you add for free one of the following spells into your spellbook. If a spell presented here isn't on the wizard spell list, it counts as a wizard spell for you nonetheless.
Level | Spells |
---|---|
2nd | Detect Evil and Good / Hellish Rebuke |
3rd | Enthrall / Zone of Truth |
5th | Magic Circle / Summon Lesser Demons |
7th | Banishment / Summon Greater Demon |
9th | Infernal Calling / Planar Binding |
Fiendish Rebuke
Starting 6th level, you now are able to exercise direct influence on fiends. Yo gain the following features.
- Bind. As an action, you can spend a spell slot of 3rd or higher level to target a fiend with a CR up to half your wizard level (rounded down) that can both see and hear you, forcing it to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell DC. On a failure, it is stunned. The creature has disadvantage on it's save if you know it's true name. You must keep concentration on this effect for up to 5 rounds, and the fiend must repeat it's saving throw on each of it's following turns while you keep concentration. If it receives damage, the effect ends. If the demon fails 3 saving throws before achieving 3 successes, its dominated, and must obey you on any order you give except those that attempt against it's own integrity. The fiend can then repeat it's save every 24 hours, being released on a success. The DC of the fiend's saving throws increases by 1 by each two spell slot levels above 3rd. You can only have a single fiend binded in this way, and if you attempt to bind another, the first one is released.
- Harm. You can spend a spell slot of 1st or higher level to inflict 4d8 psychic damage to any fiend you can see within 60 feet from you. It makes a wisdom saving throw against your spell DC, receiving half damage on a success. The damage increases by 1d8 per spell slot level above 1st.
Fiendish Concentration
At 10th level, your mind can be kept centered on your fiendish summonings.
You can add your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) to any concentration check you make, and have advantage on concentration checks when concentrating in conjuration spells summoning fiends.
Master Demonologist
Starting 14th level, you now are able to summon truly terrible fiends with unequal ease. Whenever you summon demons using your Infernal Calling spell, the maximum CR of the fiend you can summon increases by an amount equal to half your intelligence modifier (rounded up) (minimum 1).
Arcane Tradition: Eldritch Occultism
Some wizards are drawn to strange lore and forbidden knowledge, not to use it against others, but to understand it and protect themselves against the lingering madness that surrounds us. These strange wizards study tirelessly, and as they gain more and more insight into the matter, they harden their minds, becoming impervious to the mind-shattering effects that produce the unspeakable truths of the cosmos.
Occult Researcher
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you have opened your mind to the endless possibilities of magic after peering in the far realm. Whenever you gain a new level in the wizard class, you can choose to learn any spell from the warlock spell list. These spells count as wizard spells for you. If you find a scroll containing a warlock spell, you can copy it to your spellbook.
Also, you gain proficiency in the Occultism skill, and you learn how to read, write and speak Deep Speech.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d3/f2/18/d3f218c71f9c55358ea99afd99b55175.jpg)
If you already know it, you then can learn any other exotic language of your choice.
Unsettling Magic
Starting 2nd level, your spells become infused with an eldritch energy. When you affect a creature with a wizard spell of 1st or higher level for the first time, it must make a wisdom saving throw against your spell DC. On a failure, the creature gets disadvantage on all attack rolls and skill checks made before the beginning of your next turn. Creatures immune to the frightened condition are immune to this feature.
Awakened Mind
Starting 6th level, your mind has been exposed to the eldritch nature of the occult. You gain the ability to communicate telepathically to any creature you can see within 30 feet from you. The creature can understand you even if it doesn't share a language with you, but it must know at least one language.
Also, you gain advantage on saving throws against the frightened and charmed conditions.
Mind-Breaking Spells
At 10th level, you are well versed in the occult and arcane ways. On your turn, when a creature fails a Charisma, Intelligence or Wisdom saving throw against one of your wizard spells, you can use a bonus action to expend 1 spell slot of 1st or higher level to immediately inflict 2d6 psychic damage against it.
The damage increases by 1d6 per spell slot level above 1st.
Ineffable Truth
At 14th level, you can use your understanding of the eldritch truths of the universe to drive mad your enemies. As an action, you can target a creature you can see within 30 feet from you that can hear you. Spending a Spell slot of 1st or higher level, you force the target to make an intelligence saving throw against your spell DC. On a failure, it receives 5d6 psychic damage and falls unconscious. On a success, it receives only half damage and isn't unconscious. The creature recovers consciousness if it receives damage or is forced to make a saving throw.
The damage increases by 2d6 per each spell slot level above 1st. You can use this feature once, and recover the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
Arcane Tradition: Familiar Trainer
Familiars are a common addition to any wizard's arsenal, as they are very useful and make good companions, requiring technically no sustenance after being summoned. Despite this, familiars are fragile, and can sometimes lack usefulness for some powerful wizards. Taking this in account, some wizards use their knowledge and arcane abilities to enhance their familiars, making them powerful magical creatures capable of helping their masters and fighting by their side.
Arcane Tamer
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Arcana and Nature.
![](https://i1.wp.com/nerdarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/fibbles-fantastic-familiars-share.jpg?fit=612%2C816)
Greater Familiar
At 2nd level, you learn how to summon better familiars. You add the Find Familiar spell if you don't already have it in your spellbook. The time required to cast this spell is reduced to 10 minutes for you. When you cast the find familiar spell, your familiar is stronger than those of other wizards. It gains the following traits:
- It has a number of hit points equal to 3 or 4 times your wizard level (3 times if tiny sized or 4 times if small sized), and has a number of hit dice equal to your wizard level: d4s if it's tiny sized, or d6s if it's small sized.
- It adds your proficiency bonus as a bonus to it's AC and any saving throw it makes.
- It uses your proficiency bonus on any skill it has proficiency.
- It has an intelligence score of 10 + your proficiency bonus, and can speak in a language of your choice that you know.

- You can communicate telepatically with your familiar up to 1 mile.

Also, whenever you cast a wizard spell, you can chose to have it originated from your familiar instead of you if it's within your sight range.
![](https://yourdnd.com/images/items/_base/A2FE9512-4E0E-B1DB-8F5D-ED6C882EE4C3.jpg)
Dual Familiars
Starting 14th level, your can have multiple familiars summoned at once. Thus, you can now have a number of familiars equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) at the same time. You can only summon a single familiar per each use of the Find Familiar spell, and can choose different improvements for each familiar.
Arcane Tradition: Graviturgy
All things have a mass, and every mass exerts a force against objects around it. That's the way wizards explain the concept of gravity. Those who devote themselves to the study and modification of gravity are terrible foes that wield the power to squish others, made them fly, lose consciousness or even dissappear, all of it just by precisely manipulating gravity. The following text replaces the EGtW's subclass entry.
Adjust Density
At 2nd level, as an action, you can magically alter the weight of one object or creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The object or creature must be Large or smaller. The target's weight is halved or doubled for up to 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell).
While the weight of a creature is halved by this effect, the creature's speed increases by 10 feet, it can jump twice as far as normal, and it has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
While the weight of a creature is doubled by this effect, the creature's speed is reduced by 10 feet, and it has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
Upon reaching 10th level in this class, you can target an object or a creature that is Huge or smaller.
Gravity Center
Starting 2nd level, you know how to better avoid being moved without your consentiment. While not wearing any armor, you gain advantage on saving throws and checks to avoid falling, being knocked prone, being pushed or pulled. Moreover, effects that would move you against your will without requiring a saving throw don't work against you.
Gravity Well
When you reach 6th level, whenever you cast a spell on a creature, you can move the target 5 feet to an unoccupied space of your choice if the target is willing to move, the spell hits it with an attack, or it fails a saving throw against the spell.
Violent Attraction
At 10th level, when another creature that you can see within 60 feet of you hits with a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to increase the attack's velocity, causing the attack's target to take an extra 1d10 damage of the weapon's type.
Alternatively, if a creature within 60 feet of you takes damage from a fall, you can use your reaction to increase the fall's damage by 2d10.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Event Horizon
Starting at 14th level, as an action, you can magically emit a powerful field of gravitational energy that tugs at other creatures for up to 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell). For the duration, whenever a creature hostile to you starts its turn within 30 feet of you, it must make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, it takes 2d10 force damage, and its speed is reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage, and every foot it moves this turn costs 2 extra feet of movement.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher on it.
Arcane Tradition: Haemomancy
Blood, the fuel that of life, holds a powerful energy that fascinates many creatures. Countless beings use it as sustenance, and these very creatures have inspired some wizards to search for a way to control and use such energy. Trough suffering and experimentation, these wizards practice the forbidden art of blood magic, being able to enhance their bodies and spells trough the use of their own blood.
Blood Savant
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in the Medicine and Endurance skills.
Also, whenever you use your Arcane Recovery feature, you also regain a number of hit dice equal to the value of recovered spell slots, and recover hit points equal to your wizard level + your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1).
Body Mastery
Starting 2nd level, you have dominated the first step to blood magic mastery: Self blood control. You gain the following advantages.
- Your hit point maximum increases by 2. From now on, every time you gain a new level in the wizard class, your hit points maximum increases by 1.
- You have resistance to poison damage.
- You have advantage on saving throws against diseases and poisons.
Hematurgy
Starting 6th level, you now can cast spells sacrificing your own vital force. You can cast any wizard spell you have prepared, up to 5th level, using your hit dice. The amount of hit dice required equals the spell level.
When you cast a spell using this feature, you receive a number of d6 as necrotic damage equal to the casted spell's level. This damage cannot be reduced.
Blood Letting
At 10th level, you can use your spilt blood to protect yourself. After using your Hematurgy feature, you gain temporary hit points equal to half the amount of necrotic damage you received from it + the number of die used. These temporary hit points remain for up to 1 minute.

Blood Mastery
At 14th level, you can now fully control your body through your mastery of blood magic. You can now add half your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1, rounded up) as a bonus to any Constitution, Dexterity or Strength saving throw.
Arcane Tradition: Hedge Magic
While most people know wizards because of their wonderful magics and their quasi-divine capabilities, some wizards prefer the subtle but unerring simplicity of lower magics. These wizards, known as hedge magicians, focus on low level magic and cantrips during their study of the arcane. Many wizards take them as weak will-workers, but in fact, they are capable of exploiting such magic as well as them, surprising those that underestimate them most often than not.
Fundamental Spells Savant
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you have devoted yourself to the study of fundamental magics. You learn the druidcraft, prestidigitation and thaumaturgy cantrips, which count as wizard cantrips for you but doesn't count towards the total number of cantrips you know.
You treat some spells as "fundamental spells", according to your magical understanding. You take only half time to copy spells of 1st level to your spellbook. This benefit extends to other spell levels as you gain levels in the wizard class.
![](https://i0.wp.com/nerdarchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/presto-scaled.jpg?fit=1649%2C2560&ssl=1)
You treat as such spells of 2nd level at 6th level, spells of 3rd level at 10th level and spells of 4th level at 14th level.
Cantrip Specialist
Starting 2nd level, you understand cantrips as no other wizard has ever done. You add your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) to any wizard cantrip damage roll.
On The Fly
Starting 6th level, you can replace your cantrips with ease. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can change one wizard cantrip you know (except those granted by your Fundamental Spells Savant) by other of your choice.
Also, when you finish a short rest, you can choose to change a number of fundamental spells that you have prepared up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) with other fundamental spells from your spell book. Once you do so, you cannot do it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Improvisation
Starting 10th level, your understanding of magic differs too much from that of other wizards (and this sometimes unsettles them). Whenever you cast a wizard spell that has a priced material component, the price is halved for you.
Fundamental Evocation
At 14th level, the way you weave spells make them more reliable than those casted by other wizards. You can cast any fundamental spell from your spellbook without using a spell slot, even if you don't have it prepared.
You can do this twice and recover any expended use when you finish a short or long rest.
Arcane Tradition: Mage Knight
While wizards are usually associated with robes and libraries, there are some that join the ranks of armies as soldiers. Many of them follow the common ways of battlemagic, but some look upon the ways of cavalry, learning to summon magical mounts that carry them as lightning through battlefields. Few of these wizards exist, but those that have joined this select arcane tradition often become legends.
Rider Training
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you have trained enough on mounts and beasts to have learned some knacks about it. You gain proficiency in the Ride skill.
Also, mounting or dismounting a creature costs you only 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed.
Summoned Steed
Starting 2nd level, you can weave conjuration magic to summon a loyal creature to serve as a steed for you.
After a 1 hour long ritual, you summon a large creature with the form of your liking. The creature has the celestial, fey or fiend type (your choice). It is loyal to you and friendly to any creature you design (but it must be able to move on land), and understands all languages you know but cannot speak.
Your summoned steed has hit dice, and can expend them as any other creature during a short rest.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/45/fb/8c/45fb8cd8b962768b5e303da3bf993a3b.jpg)
If it dies, it instantly vanishes into thin smoke, and you immediately fall if you're mounted on it.
Your Summoned steed moves on your initiative count, but can only take the dodge action, unless you use a bonus action to command it to take the attack, dash, disengage, help or hide actions. It must be able to both see and hear you within 120 feet of it for you to be able to command it. it also adds your proficiency bonus to any saving throw it makes. You can banish your summon to a pocket dimension as an action, and can summon it back as an action. The summoned steed uses the following statblock.
Amphibious Steed
Starting 6th level, your summoned steed gains a swimming speed of 40 feet, and is able to breath both air and water. It must have an adequate form to be able to swim.
Magical Bond
Starting 6th level, you and your summoned steed share a strong magical connection. You can communicate with your summoned steed up to 1 mile of distance, and you can command it as a bonus action telepathically.
Also, whenever you cast a wizard spell that targets you or your mount, it also targets the other one.
Flying Beast
Starting 10th level, your summoned steed now gains flying speed of 40 feet.
Magical Rider
At 10th level, the steeds you summon now feel as an extension of yourself.
Summoned Steed
Large Celestial, Fey or Fiend, Alignment Same as it's Raider
- Armor Class 12 + your proficiency bonus
- Hit Points 6 + six times your wizard level (the beast has a number of Hit Dice [d10s] equal to your wizard level)
- Speed 40 feet
STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 15 (+2) 14 (+2) 16 (+3) 6 (-2) 10 (0) 6 (-2)
- Saving Throws Charisma, Constitution
- Senses darkvision 120 feet.
- Languages Understands the languages of its raider, but cannot speak.
Actions
Maul: Melee Weapon Attack: your spell attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d8 + your intelligence modifier slashing damage.
When your summoned beast takes the dodge action, it's effects applies also to you if you're riding it.
Archrider
Starting 14th level, you can use the magical essence of your summoned steed as a way to empower your spells. Whenever you cast a wizard spell of 1st or higher level while you're mounted, you can decide to increase it's DC by 1 or roll 1 additional die of damage.
Also, the land speed, the swimming speed and the flying speed of your mount becomes 50 feet each.
Arcane Tradition: Order of Scribes
All wizards are known as bookworms and restless researchers of the arcane, but those wizards that join and learn the teachings of the order os scribes are the most related to books. These wizards take the concept of writing and reading to a new level, enchanting their own spellbooks and the very words they write to channel their magic in a unique way. The following text replaces the TCoE's subclass entry.
Wizardly Quill
At 2nd level, as a bonus action, you can magically create a Tiny quill in your free hand. The magic quill has the following properties:
- The quill doesn’t require ink. When you write with it, it produces ink in a color of your choice on the writing surface.
- The time you must spend to copy a spell into your spell book equals 2 minutes per spell level if you use the quill for the transcription.
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.wizardslaboratory.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/dragonshards-what-do-you-know.jpg?resize=525%2C280&ssl=1)
- You can erase anything you write with the quill if you wave the feather over the text as a bonus action, provided the text is within 5 feet of you.
This quill disappears if you create another one or if you die.
Awakened Spellbook
Using specially prepared inks and ancient incantations passed down by your wizardly order, you have awakened an arcane sentience within your spellbook.
At 2nd level, while you are holding the book, it grants you the following benefits:
- You can use the book as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.
- When you cast a wizard spell with a spell slot, you can temporarily replace its damage type with a type that appears in another spell in your spellbook, which magically alters the spell's formula for this casting only. The latter spell must be of the same level as the spell slot you expend.
- When you cast a wizard spell as a ritual, you can use the spell's normal casting time, rather than adding 10 minutes to it. Once you use this benefit, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
If necessary, you can replace the book over the course of a short rest by using your Wizardly Quill to write arcane sigils in a blank book or a magic spellbook to which you're attuned. At the end of the rest, your spellbook's consciousness is summoned into the new book, which the consciousness transforms into your spellbook, along with all its spells. If the previous book still existed somewhere, all the spells vanish from its pages.
Manifest Mind
At 6th level, you can conjure forth the mind of your Awakened Spellbook. As a bonus action while the book is on your person, you can cause the mind to manifest as a Tiny spectral object, hovering in an unoccupied space of your choice within 60 feet of you. The spectral mind is intangible and doesn't occupy its space, and it sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius. It looks like a ghostly tome, a cascade of text, or a scholar from the past (your choice).
While manifested, the spectral mind can hear and see, and it has darkvision with a range of 60 feet. The mind can telepathically share with you what it sees and hears (no action required).
Whenever you cast a wizard spell on your turn, you can cast it as if you were in the spectral mind's space, instead of your own, using its senses. You can do so a number of times per day equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
As a bonus action, you can cause the spectral mind to hover up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space that you or it can see. It can pass through creatures but not objects.
The spectral mind stops manifesting if it is ever more than 300 feet away from you, if someone casts Dispel Magic on it, if the Awakened Spellbook is destroyed, if you die, or if you dismiss the spectral mind as a bonus action.
Once you conjure the mind, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of any level to conjure it again.
Master Scriviner
At 10th level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can create one magic scroll by touching your Wizardly Quill to a blank piece of paper or parchment and causing one spell from your Awakened Spellbook to be copied onto the scroll. The spellbook must be within 5 feet of you when you make the scroll.
The chosen spell must be of 1st or 2nd level and must have a casting time of 1 action. Once in the scroll, the spell's power is enhanced, counting as one level higher than normal. You can cast the spell from the scroll by reading it as an action. The scroll is unintelligible to anyone else, and the spell vanishes from the scroll when you cast it or when you finish your next long rest.
You are also adept at crafting spell scrolls, which are described in the treasure chapter of the Dungeon Master's Guide. The gold and time you must spend to make such a scroll are halved if you use your Wizardly Quill.
One with the Word
At 14th level, your connection to your Awakened Spellbook has become so profound that your soul has become entwined with it. While the book is on your person, you have advantage on all Intelligence (Arcana) checks, as the spellbook helps you remember magical lore.
Moreover, if you take damage while your spellbook's mind is manifested, you can prevent all of that damage to you by using your reaction to dismiss the spectral mind, using its magic to save yourself. Then roll 3d6. The spellbook temporarily loses spells of your choice that have a combined spell level equal to that roll or higher. For example, if the roll's total is 9, spells vanish from the book that have a combined level of at least 9, which could mean one 9th-level spell, three 3rd-level spells, or some other combination. If there aren't enough spells in the book to cover this cost, you drop to 0 hit points.
Until you finish 1d6 long rests, you are incapable of casting the lost spells, even if you find them on a scroll or in another spellbook. After you finish the required number of rests, the spells reappear in the spell book.
![](https://c4.wallpaperflare.com/wallpaper/599/577/149/jace-beleren-magic-the-gathering-fantasy-art-wallpaper-thumb.jpg)
Once you use this reaction, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
Arcane Tradition: Order of Silence
Magicians, will-workers, spellsingers, and many more: these are common names for those with magical capabilities. Among them, there is a peculiar group of wizards, an order, created long ago to strip others from their magic. The order of silence trains wizards specialized in disrupting spells (hence their common name of "disruptors"), learning ways to use their magic to suppress the spells of others, being feared and hated as enemies by other spellcasters.
Antimagic Savant
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you have been trained in the ways of the silencers, learning the first step towards it: recognition. You add the detect magic spell to your spellbook for free if you don't already have it. It is always prepared and doesn't count towards the total number spells you have prepared. You can cast this spell without using a spell slot a number of times equal to half your wizard level (rounded up), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Protective Shield
Starting 2nd level, you have learned to weave arcane energy to protect yourself against spellcasters. As a reaction, whenever you're targeted by a spell that you can both hear and see being casted, you can weave an antimagic field around you, giving you advantage on your saving throw against it or halving the damage received by the spell (your choice).
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Countermagic
At 6th level, your study of disruptive magic grants you the ability to render enemy spellcasters uselss. You add the dispel magic and counterspell spells to your spellbook for free, provided you do not already have them. You always have these spells prepared and they don’t count against the number of spells you have prepared.
Also, whenever you cast dispel magic or counterspell, you add your proficiency bonus to the spellcasting ability check made to disrupt the spell.
Magical Resistance
Starting 10th level, you have imbued your body with enough magic to become partially immune to it. You add your proficiency bonus to all saving throws against spells and magical effects, even if you are not proficient in it.
Disruptive Field
Starting 14th level, you learn how to produce an area of disruptive magic around you using your own arcane energy. As an action, you can decide to expend a 3rd or higher level spell slot. You create an area of disruptive magic with an area of 30 feet centered on you. Creatures on the area have disadvantage on spell attack rolls and advantage on all saving throws against spells. You can maintain concentration on the effect as if concentrating on a spell for up to 1 minute.
As an option, you can designate a number of creatures equal to half the spell slot level used (rounded up) to be unaffected by this field when you create it.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended charges when you finish a long rest.
Arcane Tradition: Rune Scriber
Runes are powerful signs: they were designed as a way to hold magical energy, and most wizards exploit this special property. While almost all wizards use runes in their arcane and magical practices, there are some that use them as their main tool: marking their own skin with them, these wizards are their own spellbooks, their own conduits and their own arcane foci. Some of the most powerful wizards of Abbeorht history have walked the runic path.
Runic Wizard
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you can now scribe runes into your skin. Using calligrapher's supplies you can tattoo your wizard spells into your body. If you do so, the time for transcribing a spell into your body is doubled.
You can have a total level of wizard spells in your body equal to your wizard level + your Intelligence modifier. By example if, you're a 3rd level wizard with a score of 16 on Intelligence, You can have up to 6 levels of wizard spells tattooed on your body. You can erase one of them from your skin during a long rest. Spells tattooed on your body always count as prepared, but don't count towards the total number of spells you have prepared.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a1/14/b7/a114b7a1b0dc0d44f34cfbb0c8c79c71.jpg)
Runic Skin
Starting 2nd level, you gain the ability to infuse your body with the spells inscribed in it. You gain the following advantages:
- Your AC is calculated as 10 + your Dexterity modifier + the higher level spell tattooed on your body.
- Everytime you cast a tattooed spell, you gain temporary hit points equal to twice the spell's level.
- You can use your own skin as a spellcasting focus for your tattooed spells while you're not wearing armor nor shields if you have the tattoo exposed.
Runic Infusions
At 6th level, your ability to imbue yourself with runes can be applied to objects. During a long rest, you can use your calligrapher's supplies to magically imbue an object with a rune that grants it a special property, according to the following list.
- Abjuration. The imbued object grants it's wearer a bonus of +1 to it's AC.
- Conjuration. This object grants it's wearer the ability to teleport to any unoccupied space within 30 feet that it can see. The user can do so a number of times equal to the wizard's proficiency bonus, and recover all expended charges when the wearer finishes a long rest.
- Divination. It grants it's wielder a +1 to attack rolls.
-
Enchantment. The item grants it's wielder the option to add the wizard's intelligence modifier to any Charisma check it makes against another creature. The wearer can use this effect a number of times equal to the wizard's intelligence modifier, and recover expended charges when the wearer finishes a long rest.
-
Evocation. When inscribing a weapon, the wielder can deal additional damage equal to 1d6 when hitting with it. The damage can be acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison or thunder (the creature's choice). The user can use this ability a number of times equal to the wizard's Intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended uses when the user finishes a long rest. The damage increases as you gain more wizard levels. It increases to 2d6 at 10th level, and 3d6 at 14th level.
-
Illusion. This item grants it's wearer the ability to cast the Disguise self spell a number of times equal to half the wizard's proficiency bonus (rounded up). It recovers all charges when the wearer finishes a long rest.
-
Necromancy. This item grants it's wearer advantage on death saving throws.
-
Transmutation. This item grants it's wearer a bonus to it's land speed equal to 10 feet.
All these items require attunement, and a creature can only have one of these items attuned to it.
You can create a number of items equal to your proficiency bonus. Creating a new one over the limit you can, immediately causes the older one to lose it's magical enhancement.
Rune-Infused Flesh
Starting 10th level, your body has enough runic magic stored inside to grant you a much higher resistance. You gain proficiency in Constitution saving throws.
Spell Surge
Starting 14th level, the runes in your body allow you a swift spellcasting. When you cast a tattooed spell of 2nd or higher level, you can decide to cast a tattooed spell of a lower level up to 5th level as a bonus action.
You can use this feature once, and recover the ability to do so when you finish a short or long rest.
Arcane Tradition: War Magic
One of the first traditions established by mortals, these deadly wizards were first developed and later perfected by dragonborns to wage war against others. With time, their arts have been extended and personalized by different schools and war academies, as a wizard trained for war is a priceless asset for any battalion. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.
Arcane Deflection
At 2nd level, you have learned to weave your magic to fortify yourself against harm. When you are hit by an attack or you fail a saving throw, you can use your reaction to gain a +2 bonus to your AC against that attack or a +4 bonus to that saving throw.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fe/fb/90/fefb904e03e0be7d1cc92dc85c1ca0bd.jpg)
When you use this feature, you can’t cast spells other than cantrips until the end of your next turn.
Tactical Wit
Starting at 2nd level, your keen ability to assess tactical situations allows you to act quickly in battle. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Also, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: History, Stealth or Survival.
Power Surge
Starting at 6th level, you can store magical energy within yourself to later empower your damaging spells.
You can store a maximum number of power surges equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). Whenever you finish a long rest, your number of power surges resets to one. Whenever you successfully end a spell with Dispel Magic or Counterspell, you gain one power surge, as you steal magic from the spell you foiled. If you end a short rest with no power surges, you gain one power surge.
Once per turn when you deal damage to a creature or object with a wizard spell, you can spend one power surge to deal extra force damage to that target. The extra damage equals half your wizard level.
Durable Magic
Beginning at 10th level, the magic you channel helps ward off harm. While you maintain concentration on a spell, you have a +2 bonus to AC and all saving throws.
Deflecting Shroud
At 14th level, your Arcane Deflection becomes infused with deadly magic. When you use your Arcane Deflection feature, you can cause magical energy to arc from you. Up to three creatures of your choice within 60 feet of you each take force damage equal to half your wizard level.
Arcane Tradition: White Necromancy
The manipulation of souls and corpses is usually forbidden and feared: being able to control the fragility of mortality is a power that few should have, and most often than not has been wrongly used to terrorize mortals. All wizards acknowledge the power and utility of necromancy, but few dare to follow such path. Some of them, however, have developed a respectful way to meddle with souls and corpses. They are still feared, but slowly they have earned a better reputation, as they deal with the forces of both life and death.
Life and Death Savant
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you gain the ability to cast necromancy spells without harming the souls you manipulate. The time and cost of necromancy spells you copy into your spellbook is halved. Whenever you gain a wizard level, you can replace one of the spells you learn for any necromancy spell from any spell list. These spells count as wizard spells for you. Moreover, you can copy any necromancy spell to your spellbook, regardless of the spell list it belongs to, but other wizards can't copy spells that don't belong to the wizard spell list into their own spellbooks.
You also gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Composure, Medicine or Science.
Finally, you learn the spare the dying cantrip, which is a wizard cantrip for you and doesn’t count against the number of wizard cantrips you know.
Rebuke Death
Also at 2nd level, you can use an action to heal a creature you can touch. The creature regains hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1).
Once a creature has regained hit points from this feature, it can’t do so again until it finishes a long rest.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to half your wizard level (rounded up), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Benevolent Necromancy
At 6th level, you add the animate dead spell to your spellbook if it is not there already. When you cast this spell, it has additional effects:
- If the undead creature has an Intelligence score of 5 or lower, it's Intelligence becomes 6, and it gains the ability to understand and speak one language of your choice that you speak. It cannot remember any information from it's previous life.
- The undead creature’s alignment is the same as yours.
- You can use your Rebuke Death feature on your animated undeads without spending a charge from such feature (applying the once per long rest restriction).
- At the end of the undead’s first 24 hours of serving you, it might continue to serve you for another 24 hours or else return to its eternal rest. You can convince the undead creature to continue serving you with a successful Charisma (Persuasion) check against a DC equal to 10 + the creature’s challenge rating (rounded up). On a successful check, the creature remains under your control, and the DC of the next check you make to maintain control 24 hours later increases by 1. You have disadvantage on this check if you were disrespectful to the creature during it's service. On a failed check, or if you choose not to maintain control, the undead creature immediately crumbles to dust after thanking you.
This effect applies to any necromancy spell you cast that animates an undead creature.
Willing Souls
Starting 10th level, the souls needed to cast necromantic magic are more willing to be used by you. Once between short or long rests, when you cast a necromancy spell you regain one expended spell slot of lower level, up to 1/5 your wizard level (rounded down).
Aura of Death Warding
Beginning 14th level, your benevolence while dealing with undead now makes you emit an aura of protection. Creatures within 30 feet from you have resistance to necrotic damage, and cannot have their hit point maximum reduced except by their own class features.
Arcane Tradition: Witchcraft
Common mortals are aware of the power of wizards: and are seen by awe and sometimes fear by most common folk. Some wizards specialized on alchemy and laying curses are quickly classified as witches and warlocks by most common folk.
![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a5/f1/1c/a5f11c5e702bde78982847a82bbcfff7.jpg)
While these wizards aren't always evil, their practices are hardly "benevolent", and their inclusion of herbs and poisons to their magical practice make them even more fearful and dangerous foes.
Witch Lore
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you have studied enough to dominate the basics of witchcraft. You gain proficiency with alchemist supplies and poisoner's supplies.
Whenever you craft a poison or potion with any of these tools, you reduce the needed time to complete them by half.
Hex Slinger
Starting 2nd level, you can now curse those to dare provoke your wrath. You add the hex spell to your spellbook, and it counts as a wizard spell for you, but other wizards can't copy it to their own spellbooks. Whenever you cast the hex spell, it doesn't require concentration for you, with a duration of 1 minute, but you can only have a single creature hexed at a time. If you hex a new creature, the spell is ended.
You can cast the hex spell once between long rests without spending a spell slot.
Curse Weaver
Starting 6th level, you add the Bestow curse and Remove curse spells to your spellbook if you don't already have them. Their casting range increases to 30 feet for you.
If you have a body part of a creature (such as a nail, an ounce of blood or a handful of hair), you can cast bestow curse as a 1 hour long ritual on such creature with a range of infinite, as long as you both are on the same plane of existence. If you do so, you consume the body part, and the spell doesn't require concentration.
It's duration increases to 1 hour on a 3rd level spell slot, to 8 hours with a 4th level spell slot, to 24 hours with a 5th level spell slot, and indefinite with a 6th or higher spell slot level.
Bottled Magic
Also at 6th level, you have learned enough about magic and alchemy to be able to make concoctions imbued with them. You can imbue any wizard spell from your spellbook into an alchemical potion. The spell must target only a single creature and cannot require concentration.
To do so, you must spend a spell slot and a number of hours of work equal to the desired spell level. The potion remains viable for a number of days equal to twice your wizard level, and during that time, you cannot recover that spell slot. During that time, the spell will automatically activate when a creature drinks it, or if the content of the potion is splashed over a creature.
You can decide to extract the magic from the potion as a bonus action holding the potion on your hand, immediately recovering the spell slot imbued on it. You can have a number of potions equal to your intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and if you craft a new one, the older one instantly loses it's magic.
Jinxed!
Starting 10th level, your hexes and curses are so potent that are almost impossible to remove without magic. Whenever a creature attempts to remove a curse or spell applied by you to a creature with a spell of lower level than your spell, the caster must succeed on an ability check using it's spellcasting ability. The DC equals your spell DC. On a failure, the creature receives psychic damage equal to your wizard level + your intelligence modifier (minimum 1).
Curse Master
At 14th level, your dominion over curses and hexes is complete. The DC of any curse you cast is increased by 1.
Also, you gain advantage on saving throws against curses and curse-like effects.
