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.

The following sections contain a short description of each class, as well as their available subclasses.

Barbarian

Savage warriors that throw themselves into battle fueling their attacks with a primal rage that enhances their resistance and combat abilities.

They fuel their combat proficiency with their rage, which is not only being angry, but a complex and powerful way to tap into a primal energy that accompanies every single mortal, but who only a few can successfully tap into. They serve mainly as tanks and off-damage.

Bard

Artists of all types that domain the word and the music, molding the tapestry of the ley lines through their majestic music and heavenly voices.

These strange spellcasters know how to produce magical effects using music, either as continual songs, or as specific directed chords (that most will known as spells). They can produce a wide variety of magical effects but fewer times compared to wizards. They specialize in support and utility.

Blood Hunter

Deadly warriors that serve as monster hunters that have undergo an unholy ritual of blood magic, enhancing their abilities to better hunt those who hunt us all.

Blood Hunters gain access to a variety of curses powered by their unholy blood to debilitate their opponents. Also, they learn alchemical formulas using their own blood to prepare concoctions that enhance their combat abilities. They widely excell as damage and off-tanks.

Cleric

Servants of the divine powers of the world, these individuals serve a specific deity that in exchange grants them a myriad of abilities to serve their purposes.

They receive specific training according to the purpose they are to fulfill inside their faith, known as clerical calling, being able to specialize in different areas. They can fulfill any role in the game with the correct combination of clerical calling and divine domain, as well as their miracles and spells.

Druid

Nature's protectors, these primal spellcasters attune themselves to the natural world to a deep personal level, becoming one with the land they protect.

These primal spellcasters can use their connection to nature to cast spells that are specific to a land if they attune to it, and can transform themselves into animals to better fulfill their role of protectors. They are mainly utility and can also cover control and support.

Fighter

Expert warriors that have trained to the peak of their physical limit, using their weapons and armors with a masterful degree across the battlefield.

They are the best warriors of the world, being able to exploit their armors and weapons to their maximum capabilities, learning specific forms of using them known as maneuvers, that grant them their legendary status. They can cover both damage and tank roles, often favoring one over the other.

Monk

These mortals train to awaken the inner energy that all living being posses, being able to accomplish impossible deeds through meditation and physical training.

These rare and meditative warriors learn to tap into their inner energy though meditation and contact with their soul, molding it and strengthening it to the point it can be used as a weapon and an unlimited fuel for their bodies. They specialize in mobility and utility.

Paladin

These zealous warriors turn themselves to their dogmas and oaths, gaining power from upholding their promises to the divine word of deities of Abbeorht.

They uphold a promise to the oath they take, and the divine nature of the oath is what grants them the power they wield, and the power in exchange increases their zealousness to the cause they fight for, fueling their ability to smite their enemies and heal the living. They serve as damage and off-tanks.

Ranger

Primal warriors that use their connection to the primal natural world to improve their combat ability and summon powerful beasts to fight along them.

They are specialists in exploration and use natural primal magic in tandem to increase their martial abilities. They fight in tandem with powerful beasts that are summoned from the beastlands, which help them as companions, allies and mounts. They serve mainly as scouts, utility and damage.

Rogue

Some mortals prefer subtle ways and the use of their wits and intelligence to overcome their obstacles, favoring precision and stealth over brute force.

They know how to move quickly and take advantage of any situation at their hand, favoring skirmishes and rakish attacks with quick retreats instead of prolonged combat. They learn to act, move and attack with elegant precision. They serve as utility, scout and damage.

Sorcerer

Having a natural affinity for magic, these individuals can control the energy that flows through their bodies with ease, becoming living embodiments of the arcane.

Sorcerers are innate spellcasters, having the ability to produce magic using their willpower. Their natural and potent sorcery allows them to carefully shape their spells to better serve the exact purpose they require. They can fulfill almost any role, depending on their subclass and spells.

Spellblade

Mixing their magical knowledge with their martial training, those who walk the dogma of a spellblade become able to channel planar magic through their weapons.

The dogma of a spellblade molds not only their magic and fighting style, but their whole life, and their ability to channel the planar energy associated to their dogma grants them the ability to strike with their blades while casting spells. They serve as a mixture of tanks, damage and utility.

Warlock

There are countless beings across the planes with god-like abilities, and some mortals are willing to serve them in exchange for a fraction of their power.

These mortals owe their allegiance and powers to powerful creatures that patronize them in exchange of certain favors. These contracts (known as pacts) can be hard to maintain, but the power they receive is pretty much worth it. They can fulfill any role according to how they focus their abilities.

Wizard

Students of the arcane, those who walk the path of the wizard are studious and intelligent beings who learn to mold and control the tapestry of the ley lines of the world.

The arcane arts are complex, dangerous and usually secretive, being hard to practice except by natural geniuses. Their academic nature and their arcane tools makes them the most versatile spellcasters of the world. They can specialize in any mix of support, damage, utility and debuff.

Artificers specialize in different type of creations, from wonderful golems and war machines, to strange enhancing concoctions, poisons and even destructive firearms, artillery and all kind of dangerous explosives.

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

Flash of Genius

At 7th level, you can come up with swift, creative and effective solutions rapidly even under pressure.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

This device is called a voltaic device, and if you ever create a new one, the first falls apart, as the magic holding it together dissipates.

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 Focus

You can use any melee weapon you're proficient with as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells. You can cast and maintain concentration on your warlock spells while raging.

Spellcasting Ability

Constitution is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells, since your spells are casted using your own vital force. You use your Constitution whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Constitution modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a domain spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Constitution modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +

your Constitution modifier

Also at 3rd level your patron has requested something from your body. Choose one of the following pacts:

Path of the Savage Brute

From coastal towns to majestic capitals, from the highest mountain to deepest cavern on the underdark, everybody knows about the great strength that barbarians are capable of imbuing into their attacks. Legends of giant, savage warriors wielding enormous weapons with a single hand are heard all across the world, and barbarians that follow the path of the savage brute are the responsible of these legends.

Savage Focus

At 10th level, when you take the attack action and hit the same target with two attacks while raging, you can make one additional melee weapon as as part of the same action.

Path of the Shaman

Some barbarians believe that the rage is not a weapon but a tool to aid and grant sustenance to the tribe. Not all shamans are barbarians, but those that follow the mystic path of the spirit-walker learn to call the tribe's ancestors to guide them, overseeing the tribe's health, history and spiritualism.

Guiding Spirits

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, the ancestors have chosen you as the next shaman, granting insight in times of need. While you're raging, you can summon these spirits to aid you and your allies. You can summon a single spirit per turn from this feature or any higher level features.

• Elder Spirit. When you or a friendly creature you can see within 30 feet of you fails a saving throw, you can use your reaction to call an elder guide, allowing the target to repeat the saving throw. The creature then must use the second roll, regardless of the result.
• Hunter Spirit. You can use your bonus action to grant an ally that you can see within 30 feet of you a bonus to its next attack roll equal to your rage damage bonus to all it's attacks until the beginning of your next turn.
• Warrior Spirit. When you take the attack action on your turn, you can summon the warrior spirit as part of the same action, doubling your rage damage bonus until the beginning of your next turn.

You can summon a number of guiding spirits equal to your barbarian level + your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Spiritual Defense

Also at 3rd level, your ancestors grant your body higher resistance. When you activate your rage feature, you gain temporary hit points equal to your barbarian level.

Path Affinity

Also at 10th level, you now ignore any prerequisite for the Aggressive Step primal embodiment.

Raging Storm

At 14th level, the power of the storm you channel grows mightier, lashing out at your foes. The effect is based on the environment you chose for your Storm Aura.

• Desert. Immediately after a creature in your aura hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes fire damage equal to your Barbarian level.
• Sea. When you hit a creature in your aura with an attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone, as if struck by a wave.
• Tundra. Whenever the effect of your Storm Aura is activated, you can choose one creature you can see in the aura. That creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or its speed is reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn, as magical frost covers it.

Path of the Totem Warrior

Followers of the dogma of the spiritual great beasts, these barbarians adopt a totem spirit as their patron, and as they grow in power, the very totem fuses it's essence with the body of the barbarian. This text replaces the original text on the PHB's subclass entry.

Totem Spirit (3rd level)

At 3rd level, when you adopt this path, you choose a totem spirit and gain its feature. You must make or acquire a physical totem object, like an amulet or similar adornment, that incorporates fur or feathers, claws, teeth, or bones of the totem animal. You also gain minor physical attributes that are reminiscent of your totem spirit.

For example, if you have a bear totem spirit, you might be unusually hairy and thick-skinned, or if it is the eagle, your eyes turn bright yellow.

Some of your totem features require a saving throw. In such cases, you use your totem's DC, calculated as follows:

Totem Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Strength modifier

Your totem animal might be an animal related to those listed here but more appropriate to your homeland. For example, you could choose a vulture in place of an eagle.

• Ape. While you're raging, your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 + your Strength modifier as bludgeoning damage. If you aren’t wielding any weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8.

• Tortoise. While raging and unarmored, you recover hit points equal to your rage damage bonus at the beginning of each of your turns. The spirit of the tortoise grants you enhanced longevity.
• Wolf. While you're raging, your friends have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature within 5 feet of you that is hostile to you. The spirit of the wolf makes you a leader of hunters.

Fast Striker

Starting 3rd level when you first choose this subclass, you can fight easier with your weapons, adopting a wind stance. You learn one of the following fighting styles:

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

You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

War Cry

Starting 3rd level when you first choose this subclass, you can command your allies to greatness. Whenever you're raging, you can use your bonus action to command one friendly creature within 60 feet from you that can see and hear you to make a weapon attack as their reaction. They also add your rage bonus damage to their weapon damage rolls until the beginning of your next turn.

The number of creatures you can command at once increases as you gain levels on the barbarian class. You can command 2 allies at 10th level, and 3 allies at 14th level.

Path To The Key

Starting 3rd level when you first choose this subclass, you have stared to walk a path so close to madness than most are unable to discern them apart. You gain resistance to psychic damage, and your rage damage becomes psychic damage.

Also, you learn how to read, write and speak Deep speech if you don't already know it.

Prophet Of The Mad Gods

Starting 10th level, you have peered across the door. While you're raging, you can use a bonus action to shout a gibbering madness in deep speech to a creature of your choice within 60 feet from you that you can see and can hear you.

The creature must make an Intelligence saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your constitution modifier. On a failure, it receives psychic damage equal to 1d8 + your raging damage bonus and becoming stunned until the beginning of your next turn.

The Door Of Chaos

At 14th level, the Outer Gods have finally lured you to walk across the door of madness. While you're raging, you can use an action to turn the key inside your mind, making your mind an area of primal chaos that exudes an aura of 30 feet around you for 1 minute. The aura has the following properties.

• The space within the aura is considered magical difficult terrain except to you.
• The space within the aura is considered an antimagic field that negates spells up to 5th level.
• Creatures concentrating in spells have disadvantage on concentration checks

This effect ends early if you end your rage, fall unconscious or die. You can use this feature once, and recover the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Path of the Wild Magic

Not all barbarians shun magic or believe it to be a dangerous and untamable force, despite being true. Some of them are born with a natural affinity for magic, but not any kind of magic, but Wild Magic, the most savage and dangerous one. This text replaces the original text on the TCoE's entry.

Magic Awareness

When you choose this path at 3rd level, as an action, you can open your awareness to the presence of concentrated magic. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any spell or magic item within 60 feet of you that isn’t behind total cover. When you sense a spell, you learn which school of magic it belongs to.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your constitution modifier (minimum 1), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Wild Surge

Also at 3rd level, the magical energy roiling inside you sometimes erupts from you. When you enter your rage, roll on the Wild Magic table to determine the magical effect produced.

If the effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

Bolstering Magic

Beginning at 6th level, you can harness your wild magic to bolster yourself or a companion.

Wild Surge

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.

Path Affinity

Also at 10th level, you now ignore any prerequisite for the Brutal Attack primal embodiment.

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.

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.

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.

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) a rapier, (b) a longsword, or (c) any simple weapon
• (a) a diplomat's pack or (b) an entertainer's pack

Cantrips

You know two cantrips of your choice from the bard spell list. You learn additional bard cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Bard table.

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.

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 = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Charisma modifier

your Charisma score 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.

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.

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.

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.

Subclasses

Bards from Abbeorht have developed different and more varied ways to create their magic.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Silver Tongue

When you join the College of Eloquence at 3rd level, you learn to say the right thing at the right time. When you make a Charisma (Persuasion) or Charisma (Deception) check, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

Finally, you learn the Thaumaturgy cantrip. It counts as a bard cantrip for you but doesn't count towards the total number of cantrips you know.

Divine Inspiration

Starting 3rd level, you gain the ability to channel the divine power of your deity. You can use an action to expend a bardic inspiration die and produce one of the following effects:

• Rejoicing Pslam. You heal a number of creatures up to your song potency that you can see within 30 feet of you and that can hear you for a number of hit points equal to your bardic inspiration die. If the creature is being affected by a poison or disease, it can repeat it's saving throw.

You can use these effects a number of times equal to your Charima modifier (minimum 1), and recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Deity's Boon

Starting 6th level, you gain the ability to cast a spell granted by your deity.

Evil	Blindness/Deafness
Good	Prayer of Healing
Lawful	Celestial Chains

You can cast that spell once without spending chords as a spell of a level equal to 1/3 your Bard level (rounded down) without spending chords. You can cast that spell in this way only once between long rests.

Preacher's Choir

Starting 14th level, you can inspire your allies with a short psalm. Once between short or long rests, when you use your Divine inspiration feature, you can target twice the amount of creatures that you could normally target. This feature only consumes a single use of your Bardic Inspiration feature.

College of Foolhardy

Some bards are natural thrill seekers, loving to put themselves in risk, doing daring tricks just for the sake of it. Their (more often than not) stupid stunts are so amazing that many of them develop a unique way of entertainment, amazing others with their reckles lack of security meassures and the luck to survive even the most dangerous scenarios.

Stuntman

When you join the College of Foolhardy at 3rd level, your strange ability to come out barely scratched from mortal situations can entretain and inspire others. Whenever you make a Dexterity, Strength or Constitution saving throw to avoid taking non psychic damage, you can, as a reaction, spend a bardic inspiration dice, regaining a number of hit points equal to the number rolled + half your bard level, as the injuries you took weren't really that bad. You then grant a creature within 30 feet range that can see you a bonus to it's next attack roll or saving throw within the next minute equal to your song potency.

You can also use this feature when you receive (or avoid) fall damage, when you are hit by a critical hit or receive more than half your total hit points as damage from a single damage roll, giving the bonus to one creature within range.

Daredevil

At 3rd level, your hit point maximum increases by 3, and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class. Also, you gain proficiency in the acrobatics skill, as well as with medium armor and shields (except tower shields).

Jackass

Starting 6th level, you can strangely survive even the most dangerous events with only minor scratches. Whenever you're reduced to 0 hit points by non psychic damage but not outright killed, you can instead use your reaction to spend and roll 1 inspiration die and fall to 1 hit point instead.

Then, a number of creatures up to your charisma modifier (minimum 1) of your choice within 60 feet around you that can see you receive a bonus to their next saving throw or attack roll equal to half the number rolled on the inspiration die (rounded up).

You can use this feature once, and recover the ability to do so when you finish a short or long rest.

Pro Stuntman

At 14th level, your stunts are now so amazing that can inspire more people. Your Stuntman feature now inspires double the amount of creatures (minimum 2), and your Jackass feature now inspires a number of creatures up to half your bard level (rounded down).

Also, you gain proficiency in Constitution saving throws.

College of Glamour

Many studious and historians believe that the ability to produce magic through music originally came from the feywilds, as it's vibrant and lively energy fits perfectly with their abilities. Some bards went further and tried to prove that theory, and their results were pretty interesting. Those bards that investigated the feywilds came back touched by it, and founded the now acclaimed and feared college of Glamour. The following text replaces the XGtE's subclass entry.

Mantle of Inspiration

When you join the College of Glamour at 3rd level, you gain the ability to weave a song of fey magic that imbues your allies with vigor and speed.

As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to grant yourself a wondrous appearance. When you do so, choose a number of creatures you can see and who can see you within 60 feet of you, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each of them gains temporary hit points equal to twice your song potency. When a creature gains these temporary hit points, it can immediately use its reaction to move up to its speed, without provoking opportunity attacks.

Enthralling Performance

Starting at 3rd level, you can charge your performance with seductive, fey magic. If you perform for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to inspire wonder in your audience by singing, reciting a poem, or dancing. At the end of the performance, choose a number of humanoids within 60 feet of you who watched and listened to all of it, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be charmed by you.

While charmed in this way, the target idolizes you, it speaks glowingly of you to anyone who speaks to it, and it hinders anyone who opposes you, avoiding violence unless it was already inclined to fight on your behalf. This effect ends on a target after 1 hour, if it takes any damage, if you attack it, or if it witnesses you attacking or damaging any of its allies. If a target succeeds on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you tried to charm it.

College of Sorrows

While most bards use music to bring joy to others or inspire their allies, there are some who prefer to make others feel sadness and desperation. Member of the grim college of Sorrows, they specialize in making others feel so sad to lose hope and interest on life itself.

Thoughts Of Death

Also, at 3rd level, your music produces a grim mood in others. You can use an action to spend a spell slot to force a creature ou can see that can hear you within 60 feet to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature gets disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks for a number of turns equal to the spell slot's level.

Creatures immune to the frightened condition are immune to this effect.

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.

Touched by Death and Sorrow

Starting level 6, your constant brooding and contact with death grants you advantage on saving throws to avoid the charmed and frightened conditions.

Also, you learn the Speak with Dead spell, and can cast it once between long rests without spending a spell slot.

Song of Despair

At 14th level, you are now capable of performing a song so sad that creatures hearing it become deeply affected by it. As an action, you can spend one use of your bardic inspiration to perform a sad song. Creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you that can hear you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or become stunned until the beining of your next turn.

College of Spirits

Inhabitants of Abbeorht are in constant contact with death, but as many fear the preternatural essence of death and spirits, many others feel attracted by it. Some bards in particular, known as mediums, develop the ability to call forth these spirits, allowing people to contact with them. The following text replaces the VRGtR's subclass entry.

Guiding Whispers

At 3rd level, you can reach out to spirits to guide you and others. You learn the Guidance cantrip, which doesn’t count against the number of bard cantrips you know. For you, it has a range of 60 feet when you cast it.

Spiritual Focus

At 3rd level, you employ tools that aid you in channeling spirits, be they historical figures or fictional archetypes. You can use the following objects as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells: a candle, crystal ball, skull, spirit board, or tarokka deck.

Starting at 6th level, when you cast a bard spell that deals damage or restores hit points through the Spiritual Focus, roll a d6, and you gain a bonus to one damage or healing roll of the spell equal to the number rolled.

Tales from Beyond

At 3rd level, you reach out to spirits who tell their tales through you. While you are holding your Spiritual Focus, you can use a bonus action to expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration and roll on the Spirit Tales table using your Bardic Inspiration die to determine the tale the spirits direct you to tell. You retain the tale in mind until you bestow the tale’s effect or you finish a short or long rest.

You can use an action to choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you (this can be you) to be the target of the tale’s effect. Once you do so, you can’t bestow the tale’s effect again until you roll it again.

You can retain only one of these tales in mind at a time, and rolling on the Spirit Tales table immediately ends the effect of the previous tale.

If the tale requires a saving throw, the DC equals your spell save DC.

Spirit Tales Table

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) a martial weapon or (b) two simple weapons
• (a) a hand crossbow and 20 bolts or (b) a revolver and 20 bullets
• (a) Reinforced Leather, (b) lamellar or (c) hauberk
• A shield
• A set of alchemist's supplies
• (a) an explorer’s pack or (b) a monster hunter's pack

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 = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Intelligence modifier

Hunter Senses

The Hunter’s Bane has honed your senses against the dark.

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.
• Archery. You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.
• 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.
• 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, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.

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.

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.

You choose one rite from the crimson rites below when you first gain this feature. You learn an additional crimson rite at 7th level, and again at 14th level.
