Golem
"They used to be baked out of clay,
thousands of years ago, and brought to life
by some kind of scroll put inside their heads,
and they never wore out and they worked, all
the time. You saw them pushing brooms, or doing
heavy work in timber yards and foundries. Most of them you never saw at all. They made the hidden wheels go round, down in the dark. And that was more or less the limit of his interest in them. They were, almost by definition, honest.
But now the golems were freeing themselves. It was the quietest, most socially responsible revolution in history. They were property, and so they saved up and bought themselves"
----Moist Von Lipwig, Going Postal.
Ancient Clay
Golems are created by infusing a clay sculpture of a man with magic words in their head, called a chem. They will continue to follow the order on their chem, without protest, payment, or rest, until they are told to stop or are physically unable to. There are tales of a golem tasked with delivering a message to an extinct civilization waiting until the cycle of time restarts in order to deliver it.
Modern Golems
Normal golems are a commodity, and are bought and sold for high prices. They often work out of sight in dangerous, dirty, or physically demanding jobs. Enlightened golems work in more public jobs, often for high pay since they can work without sleeping. Most people tolerate their presence, but some faithful see their presence as an abomination since they view that only their gods can create life.
Some golems have had their chems replaced with a receipt for their ownership. This gives the golem free will. They gain the ability to talk in this form, and they often start asking for a salary.
Golem Names
Golems are named after the jobs they take or the name given to them long ago by their masters. Free golems can choose either to keep their name or to take new ones.

Igor
“Igor lurched through the castle corridors, dragging one foot after the other in the approved fashion.
He was Igor, son of Igor, nephew of several Igors, brother of Igors and cousin of more Igors than he could remember without checking up in his diary. Igors did not change a winning formula.
And, as a clan, Igors liked working for vampires. They kept regular hours, were generally polite to their servants, and, an important extra, didn't require much work in the bed-making and cookery department, and tended to have cool, roomy cellars where and Igor could pursue his true calling. This more than made up for those occasions when you had to sweep up their ashes."
Fifth Elephant
Natural Henchman
Members of the Igor clan are the ideal assistant for any evil mad scientist, vampire, werewolf, or other nefarious character. They are expert surgeons who can bring corpses back from the dead. They are highly capable, if morally challenged, scientists. They are eerily competent manservants to boot. Igors are loyal to their masters until their master is about to get lynched by a pitchfork mob, whereupon they mysteriously have already packed up their belongings and left the castle by the backdoor.
The Igor Way
The Igor clan has a code of conduct for its members. A good Igor lisps and limps as much as possible, even though few Igors have an actual impediment. Igors have the uncanny ability to immediately appear behind their employer or a door when called. Igors keep their employers' matters highly discreet.
Igors also keep spare body parts for use in surgery. They perform this surgery on themselves, augumenting their bodies frequently. They leave stitches in as a badge of office.
Female Igors, Igorinas, are rare but beautiful, using their surgical skills to perform cosmetic surgery on themselves.
Chaotic Healers
Igors can be found traveling between rural towns and found in large cities. The ones in cities typically find jobs with healers. The ones in the countryside travel around and perform surgery for free. They ask each person they heal to allow them to take their organs when they die. If the person changes their mind on their deathbed, the Igor will merely leave, and never return to the town. Igors are therefore treated with a mixture of fear and respect for their abilities.

Vampire
“…We were born vampires."

He sighed. "Oh dear, superstition, superstition everywhere we turn.”
Carpe Jugulum
Legends of Evil
Vampires are a well-known legend in many locales. They terrorize a village for a while, suck a maiden dry, and inevitably get killed by a local heroic man from the local town. Many rumors exist about their supposed weaknesses. Some are abjured by garlic, others by running water. Vampires can be killed by silver, sunlight, holy water, holy symbols, a stake through their heart, or just killing them until they're dead.
Killing the vampire is the easy part. Vampires have a tendency to come back from the dead. If blood is spilled on their ashes, they will resurrect within a few minutes.
Changing the ways of old
Humans are often wary of vampires in general. Vampires that still abide by their bloodsucking ways are shunned from cities or hunted down. Vampires that have channeled their passions into more benign pursuits are conditionally allowed to live in cities. Reports of bloodless corpses will cause the local undead community to come under threat, so local vampires will ruthlessly enforce temperance.
The new vampires have learned to shun superstitions of the old ways. These vampires that shun their bloodlust substitute it with another obsession. This can range from hobbies like painting or sports, items like coffee, or concepts like power. Woe to any vampire that cannot satiate this new obsession
Vampire Names
Vampires will often have names hailing from their heritage in the backwoods mountains. They often have titles of minor nobility. Temperance Vampires may choose to be more "modern" and adopt local human names.
Male Vampire Names: Vlad, Maledict, Otto, Fenrir, Schwarzlache, Bela, Magyrato, Arthur, John

Werewolf
“Wolves hate werewolves.'
'What? That can't be right! When she's wolf-shaped she's just like a wolf!'
'So? When she's human-shaped she's just like a human. And what's that got to do with anything? Humans don't like werewolves. Wolves don't like werewolves. People don't like wolves that can think like people, an' people don't like people who can act like wolves. Which just goes to show that people are the same everywhere"
The Fifth Elephant
Monsters of the Moon
Hailing from dark forests, true werewolves rule their domain in both human and beast form. They switch between forms at will, except at the full moon, where they are bound to their wolf form. Some children of werewolves do not have the ability to morph so they remain a human or wolf for life. They are quickly shunned from werewolf communities.
Werewolves have supernatural durability and are hard to kill, they do how ever have some weaknesses: silver, fire, and baths.
Chaotic or Lawful
Some werewolves migrate to cities where they try to find acceptance. They are frequently mistaken for large wolfhounds since wolves don't live in cities. In their human form, they are nigh undetectable as being a werewolf, unless someone keeps good track of their monthly habits. Many are still fearful of wolves who don't keep their taste for human flesh in check by eating chickens.

Zombie
"No one knew why some people
became natural zombies, substituting
sheer stubborn will power for blind
life force. But attitude played a part"
Night Watch
Undead Stubborness
Some people just can't give up the ghost. Some
zombies are formed by necromancy. Others form from humans who have ironclad will to fulfill their purpose
in life -- and beyond life. They return to the world of the
living dead yet still sentient and intelligent. Many
zombies can still walk, talk, and perceive the world
around them.
Zombies gain complete control over their bodily functions. This often manifests itself as unnatural strength and acuity. The body itself is dead. Cellular processes no longer take place, and blood no longer flows. When a zombie is "injured", it merely loses the function of the body part until it is reattached.
Uneasy Relationship
Many people are wary and uneasy around a walking corpse. Most zombies brought back to life by sheer bloody willpower are not violent towards humans like those brought back by necromancy, though, so open-minded humans will tend to let zombies unlive in peace. Zombies tend to live in cities that are large and open enough for them not to be targets.

Zombies are named whatever they were during their first life, take inspiration from the Human name list.
Zombie Traits

Artificer: Soul Render
"Sure you could devise power from the Wilds or absorb energy from the Realms of Chaos, in theory you could even split the atom but where is the fun in that? No, true power comes from within us all, all you have to do is rip it out"
Unknown Soul Forger
While traveling the Tremor Coast you may come across mysterious coins, they look like standard silver but are far from legal tender. The coins are all decorated differently, bearing the aesthetic spark of whatever psychopath or monster forged it. All of these coins have one thing common however, they all bear an image of the head of the poor victim that lost their soul in the making of the coin.
Soul Rending is a particularly horrific process, even those who willingly give their souls feel it slowly ripping through their forms as every strand of their soul is removed from their mortal anchor. The only positive assurance that has come from the invention of Soul Rending is the knowledge that it's inventor has long since lost their mortal form.

Additionally, these souls can be expended to enhance your abilities in a variety of ways.

Barbarian: Path of The Giant Bane
"Giants are a pest on this world, one day you will be living your life in peaceful ignorance, the next your quiet life has an enormous footprint crushing it"
Morad 'Dawnbreaker' Kolakamune - Days before his indoctrination
Life on The Tremor Coast isn't easy if you live on the quiet clusters of villages on the outskirts of civilisation. One day your beautiful village is building houses and monuments to the good times and the next you are running for your life as a giant walks through.
For those that take the path of the Giant Bane, revenge is not just a goal, it's a way of existence, vengeance is present on the first breath of a morning to the final declaration before sleep. The only thing that gets them through the days is the thoughts of their weapon obliterating the Giant that created them.

Once your rage ends or once the selected target is unconcious/dead, you lose this ability until you rage again.
Meteoric Rage

Barbarian: Path of the Lifetime
""What is it that a man may call the greatest things
in life?"
"Hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper.""
The Light Fantastic, Cohen the Barbarian
An aged warrior, you aren't a legend in your own
lifetime, you are a lifetime in your own legend. The path
of the Lifetime are only for those who are in the latter
part of their life. Their skills are highly tuned to the point where they are extremely difficult to kill, even if dying
a good death is the goal.
Path of the Lifetime Barbarians are the heroes of old, the heroes of legend that defeated all the monsters that terrorised your parents and your parent's parents. Almost all of them died a good death, but some survived. Some have settled down, using their massed riches to find a nice cozy life. Other's are missing, assumed dead but are subjects of myths and legends of their own. The rest are still fighting Trolls, thinking it's a good idea at their age.
Path of the Lifetime Barbarians all have a following, people who have heard their stories and spread them to their friends. Famous Barbarians have done impossible deads: fighting ice giants, meeting the gods, crash landing on the moon and building their own dentures.
Unwanted Luck
At level 3, despite your efforts to die a good death, you are extremely lucky, once per long rest you may negate a natural 20 against you. A negated 20 still counts as a normal hit.
So close
From level 6, not just any good death will do. Once per long rest, when you are reduced to 0hp, you get back up with 1hp instead.
Aged Wisdom
From level 10, your Barbarian Knowledge is unmatched. When you fight an enemy or a monster you have fought before, you gain advantage on attack rolls and may add extra damage equal to your Barbarian level to damage.
Tenacity of Luck
Starting from level 14, it seems like no one can manage to kill you off. You gain disadvantage on your first death save but advantage on the others until you get back up.
Bard: College of Saeculum
"They say what was lost can never be returned, but if we are truly dedicated then nothing will be out of our reach" Tari Lunarhide - Rat Catcher and member of the Vipersharks
As the last member of a generation dies, everything that generation learned and experienced dies with them, that's why it's imperative to archive their testimony before it's too late. So generations beyond can learn from their ancestors. Unfortunately, this isn't always possible, even knowledge written down can be lost to the world.
At the dawn of the Old Empire, the first Emperor, Kailyr Meliamne decreed he would be the first point in history and began the Sanction of Saeculum. The following decade was full of tyranny and book burning on a scale the Tremor Coast had never seen. So much knowledge was lost on that first week that many scholars of the past had to go into hiding in fear the knowledge in their minds would be removed as well.
Those who embrace the College of Saeculum find themselves strongly connected to the events of the past. They will find themselves knowing things, knowledge they should never know, knowledge they couldn't ever know. Saeculum Bards are often hated by more tyrannical rulers and loved by motivated revolutionaries who see this connection to the past as a weapon that can be manipulated and aimed at their enemies.
Master of the Past
Starting from level 3, your expanse of knowledge is unmatched. You gain expertise in history.

Bard: College of Soul
"DEAFNESS DOESN'T PREVENT COMPOSERS HEARING THE MUSIC. IT PREVENTS THEM HEARING THE DISTRACTIONS."
Soul Music, Death
Before the universe began, there was a sound. It went: "One, two, ONE, two, three, four..." The Listening Monks discovered this, and it explains a lot. The cataclysmic power chord that followed was the creation of time and space and matter and it does Not Fade Away.
A musical instrument can be a powerful thing, a musical instrument that taps into the power of the cataclysmic power chord that helped jump start creation is beyond comprehension. As such, it might be best not to buy an instrument from the traveling shops that often over-priced and cursed.

Cleric: Ancestor Domain
"I am a cacophony of every ancestor that's come before me. They scream in my ear like a symphony of long lost connection"
Dralkash Krivdaar - High Priestess of Korarth
From the researcher delving into the long and convoluted family past, to the priest that can talk to their ancestors. Clerics that take upon the Ancestor Domain have an uniquely strong connection to their past and those who came before them.
For Ancestor Domain Clerics, their ancestors are the closest connection to the divine they can reach. The people of Korarth worship the ancestors as they believe they join the immortal gods when they die, practically deifying the recently dead. For the ancestors to then return and pass on knowledge is an act of celestial intervention.
Many Ancestor Domain clerics have some connection to their past, whether that be an ancestral sword, or a guide in the form of a familiar, or simply just the knowledge of their great heritage. This connection to the past brings them power stronger than they could ever imagine as their ancestors guide them and empower them to reach greatness and eventually, one day, join them amongst the gods themselves.

You can only use this ability once per long rest.
Cleric: Evolution Domain
"'I don’t think I’m related to any apes,’ said the Senior Wrangler thoughtfully. ‘I mean, I’d know, wouldn’t I? I’d get invited
to their weddings and so on. My parents would have said something like, “Don’t worry about Uncle Charlie, he’s supposed to smell like that,” wouldn’t they?'"
Last Continent
Clerics of evolution follow the idea that everything changes. The Small Gods grow from insignificant tiny beings into the powerful Gods that control everything. Clerics of Evolution aim to follow the same concept, ever changing in the hope they may also rise above.
Spells of Adaptation
Starting at 1st level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Spells of Adaptation table. Each of these spells counts as a Cleric spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of Cleric spells you know.

You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You also can't appear as a creature of a different size than you, and your basic shape stays the same; if you’re bipedal, you can’t use this trait to become quadrupedal, for instance. Your clothing and other equipment don’t change in appearance, size, or shape to match your new form, requiring you to keep a few extra outfits on hand to make the most compelling disguise possible.
Even to the most astute observers, your ruse is usually indiscernible. If you rouse suspicion, or if a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection.

Druid: Circle of Stones
"Stone circles were common enough everywhere in the mountains. Druids built them as weather computers and since it was always cheaper to build a new 33-MegaLitch circle than upgrade an old slow one there were generally plenty of ancient ones around"
Lords and Ladies
Druids of the Circle of Stones work hard, they build large stone circles that work like machines. The druids don't have to convince tens of thousands of people to march eighty miles, carve out a large number of monoliths that weigh upwards of fifty tonnes and drag them on rollers eighty miles back. No, no - they simply cast some form of spell over them and then fly them through the skies to land gently in the right place. Genius.
The Druids of the Circle of Stones were armed with the dread reinforced battle-harps, whose sonic resonances can do terrible things to an enemy army, or indeed anyone standing within three hundred yards of the vibrating strings. The male voice war choir is also something to behold: the old barbarian standard "We're Going To Cut Your Tonkers Off" becomes truly terrible when done in fully conducted harmony with a descant and everything.
The Circle of Stones use their magic and connection with the Dic to create these stone circles, helping them amplify their power. When the stones are used with the conducted harmony of the Druids, everything in the path either runs or gets obliterated in perfect musical timing.
Choir of the Universe
At level 2, you gain the ability to sing a devastating melody in tune with the Disc with the sonic resonances of the Reinforced Battle-Harps. As an action, you may sing your tune, everyone in a 15ft line must make a Wisdom saving throw or be dealt 3d6 psychic damage, or half as much on a successful roll. You may use this attack a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Power of Stone
At level 6, you gain the ability to further connect with the universe by places large stones of power. as an action you may place a large stone (5ft wide, 10ft tall) on any space within 20ft of you. If the space is occupied, they must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, they are dealt 2d10 bludgeoning damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one.
These stones are activated through use of your Reinforced Battle-Harp attack. if your attack hits the stone, the sound will resonate from it, spreading the damage out, any creature within 10ft of the stone will be his by the sonic resonances. If a second stone is within the radius of another, the damage spreads to the radius of the second stone. The more stones in place, the further the damage can spread.
You may place a number of stones per long rest equal to your Wisdom modifier. With each stone placed, your Reinforced Battle-Harp damage is increased
Stones | Area Damage |
---|---|
1 | 1d10 |
2 | 2d10 |
3 | 3d10 |
4 | 5d10 |
5 | 7d10 |

Their role is to ensure that history follows its correct course, and even to make sure that it exists at all. Times are always getting worse, the monks feel. Again and again some wizard or artificer or mad scientist tinkers with the machinery and shatters the fabric of time and space. The History Monks consider it their duty to put the pieces back together, and to ensure that there are more pieces to follow the present moment.
Some monks go into the field undercover, they disguise themselves as everyday workers as they understand that the man cleaning is likely to be able to slip in unnoticed or in the more criminal heavy cities, they let them in with open arms.

Monk: Way of The Tremor
"Feel the Tremor, feel the shake of the world we live in, move with the life force of the Coast we call home"
Bedrock - Preacher of the Tremor
The Coast Tremors, like a heartbeat rippling through the bedrock, through the mud and dirt, through every living thing on the Coast. Depending on who you ask, the Tremor of the Coast is either the life force of the world spreading through it's crust, or a bad reaction, a world trying to shrug off something on it's back. Either way the Tremor is persistent.
Those who grow up on the Coast no longer feel it, it's merely the ripples in water. People who come to the Coast feel it's effects like motion sickness as the waves of the Coast move through them. To political leaders, the tremor is a defense, ensuring no one can efficiently invade from across the Atherel Sea.

Ranger: Tracker
"Nothing is beyond my reach, nothing can hide from me"
Detharon Wildmoon - Sacred Ranger of Silvanus' Oak
As the prey runs through the Sacred Woods, the hunter calmly tracks the scared prey. With every trace left behind of the panicking and reckless prey, the hunter slowly learns everything it needs to know to take it down. As the hunter finally catches up to their prey, the one that dared enter these sacred woods, it know exactly how to fight it.
Rangers of the Tracker conclave are experts in finding and learning about their prey, the longer they track their target the more they comprehend their enemy. Once a Tracker gets the scent of their chosen prey, it's only a matter of time before they are found and are vulnerable.
Tracking Magic
Starting at level 3, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Tracking Magic table. Each of these spells counts as a Ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of Ranger spells you know.
Ranger Level | Spells |
---|---|
3rd | Hunter's Mark |
5th | Branding Smite |
9th | Haste |
13th | Locate Creature |
17th | Scrying |
Precise Aim
At 3rd level, you can shoot with pure precision. When you hit a creature with a weapon, you can deal an extra 1d4 damage to the target, which can take this extra damage only once per turn
The extra damage increases to 1d6 when you reach 11th level in this class.
Expert Tracking
Also at 3rd level, your ability to track targets is almost supernatural in efficiency. When tracking a target you can allow all the information of the environment around you to fully track your target. Once activated the footsteps of your target light up like floresence in your eye allowing you to follow their journey.
Additionally, if you know the target's real name, you gain an internal compass pointing to the direction of your target spanning a 3 mile radius.
Analysing Prey
From 7th level, you can learn a lot about your target while tracking them. Whilst tracking your target you can roll an Insight(Wisdom) check against the target's passive deception. On a success you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice:
- Dexterity score
- Constitution score
- Armour Class
- Current hit points
- Total class levels, if any
You also learn:
- If the target is moving slow or fast
- Their method of travel
- How many they are traveling with.
Weak Points
From 10th level, you are able to strike at a target's weak points. After tracking a target for at least 1 minute, you gain knowledge about how best to strike them. You gain advantage on attacks against the target you tracked and your bonus damage from the Precise Aim feature at level 3 gains an additional die when attacking them. These additional abilities remain until your next long rest or until you use this feature on another target.
Additionally, once you have successfully deal damage to the target you are tracking, your internal compass to the target is increased in span to 5 miles and remains for an additional 5 days.
Trapped Prey
From 15th level, your analysis of your target means helps you strike true. Once you have used your Analysing Prey ability on a target, until your next long rest, if you roll a natural one when attacking the target, you may re-roll the attack. You must use the second roll.
Rouge: Scoundrel
“People were strange like that. Steal five dollars and you were a petty thief. Steal thousands of dollars and you were either a government or a hero.”
Going Postal
People often say "You can't con an honest man" but most people can't honestly claim to have ever met one. The easiest way to con people is to make it seem like they are the ones pulling it. Make the mark believe they are going to cheat you out of something, that they are getting something worth more than the deed it takes to claim it. Maybe this time the person selling the priceless diamond ring for cheap is being honest but deep down they know the truth, the diamond ring is always a fake.
Scoundrels are the oddest kind of rogue, mainly because they stay away from the shadows and decide to commit their crimes out in the open, with everyone watching.
They often craft a persona for themselves, running their crimes or heroic deeds under that identity, knowing that if they ever need to disappear, all it will take is a new identity and a little bit of gold.
Scoundrels can be found all across the disc but only a few have truly mastered the ability to disappear within their own persuasions and deceptions. Those who find their faces easy to identify or that their current run of cons are becoming boring, turn to disguises, they return to the scene of their crimes and socialise with those they have conned.
Silver Tongued
At level three, your skill with words is enough to bring others to your understanding. You gain proficiency in both Deception and Persuasion, or Expetise in these skills if you are already proficient.
Easily Forgettable
Also at level three, your face is hard to recall. You gain advantage on Charisma (Deception) checks regarding your identity. People without the ability of True Sight also have disadvantage in rolls attempting to discern your identity.
You also gain proficiency with disguise kits, or expertise if you are already proficient.
Inspiring Presence
At level nine, you can use your social abilities to inspire those around you. You gain inspiration dice to inspire or charm as a bonus action. You have a number of inspiration dice equal to your charisma modifier, these dice are a D8 and replenish after a long rest.
Inspiring Demeanor:
You may give those you consider an ally an inspiration dice, that they can roll and add it to any roll that uses a D20. An inspiration dice lasts for 1 hour and they can only have one at a time.
Charming Guile:
You may use your inspiration dice to cast Suggestion on a creature you have been talking to for 1 minute who does not see you as a threat, the target has disadvantage on it's roll. Whilst the target is in the state of suggestion, they consider you a friend and any attack you use against them will have advantage. You may only charm one person at a time and once you attack them, the spell wears off.
Charming Violence
Starting from level 13, you can use your words can now be deadly. Any attack against a creature you have charmed using Inspiration dice is now considered a critical hit.
Force of Charisma
Starting from level 17, your charisma goes beyond the extraordinary. Your charisma score increases by two and your maximum charisma score is now 22.
Rouge: Smuggler
"Sure you could sneak around in the shadows, hiding from guards, getting your cloak dirty, but in my experience, if you throw around enough charm, a guard will think you are joking when you tell them your plan"
Anvon - Leader of the TALG (The Army of the Liberation of Gold)
While some Rogues are more comfortable using stealth to solve their problems, Smugglers have to rely on their charm and confidence to get them out of dangerous situations. Whether you are smuggling gold from Golden Perch, Arcanic Dust from Kord's Shield, or revolutionaries out of Andorim, Smugglers only have their charisma to support them.
Understanding the way people work, Rogue Smugglers tend to be garish and loud, convincing those around them they must be trustworthy and then abusing that trust to commit their crimes or to deal serious damage. After all, who do you trust more, the quiet creepy guy with a dagger at the corner of the room, or the loud guy who has joked about smuggling goods multiple times.
Hiding in Plain Sight
Starting from level 3, your charm and charisma allows you to get through even the most difficult of situations. While talking to a non-hostile creature for 1 minute, you can charm them into thinking you are the most trustworthy person they know. While under your charm they are unable to suspect you of lying. The charmed creature will believe you to be trust-worthy but won't necessarily follow commands or orders. This charm lasts for 1 hour or until they are attacked by you or someone they believe are your allies.
Smuggled Goods
Also at level 3, your ability to hide things is unmatched. When a creature is rolling to try and find items you have hidden, they must succeed on a wisdom check (The DC is 8 + Dexterity modifier + your Proficiency bonus).
Protected Goods
From level 9, your smuggled goods are just as protected as they are hidden. By spending 1 minute and with your hidden stash you can trap the smuggled hoard in a variety of ways: (The DC for these traps is the same as your Smuggled Goods DC).
Paralysing Gas
Once found a canister of gas is released. The creature that triggered the trap must make a Constitution saving throw or be paralysed for 1 minute.
Sensory Overload
Once discovered, the opening of the stash triggers a blinding light and a loud bang. The creature that triggered the trap must make a Constitution saving throw or be Blinded and Deafened.
Surprising Charm
From level 13, those you have charmed become the easiest of targets. When attacking those who you have charmed using your Hiding in Plain Sight ability from level 3, you have advantage on the first attack against them and are able to use your sneak attack.
Charming Killer
From level 17, your charming personality allows you to strike with scary precision. Any attack against a creature you have charmed using your Hiding in Plain Sight ability, the charmed creature must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, double the damage of your attack against the creature.
Sorcerer: 8th Son of an 8th Son
“Sourcerers never become part of the world. They merely wear it for a while.”
Sourcery
8 is a powerful number, it is well known that the eighth son of an eighth son is likely to become a wizard, and that wizards generally don't indulge themselves in love affairs. The reason for this might be that if a wizard were to have sons, all of them could be powerful wizards, and the eighth would be a sourcerer, a wizard squared.
Wizards use the magic that permeates the world to perform spells, but a sourcerer is a source of magic making them one of the most powerful entities, especially considering the fact that the magic generated by a sourcerer (it is unknown if magic is generated only when a sourcerer performs a spell or passively) is new and wild, having never been recycled before, and is thus far more powerful than magic found nearly anywhere. No-one wants a return to those days of tower-building and vast magical warfare.
Source
From level 1, your source of power empowers others. You gain an aura spreading 10ft, the aura empowers you and your allies in one of the following ways:
- Gain additional damage to spell attacks equal to your Charisma modifier.
- Add your Charisma modifier to saving throws from spells.
- Damage from spell attacks is reduced by your Charisma modifier.
You may swap between these auras by spending 1 minute meditating on your own power.
Granting Power
From level 6, you may give people spell slots. As an action, you may give someone (with spellcasting abilities) a spell slot they are able to cast. by giving spell slots, you expend that spell slot as you would if you were casting that spell.
Shifting Source
From level 14, you may imbue an item with a spell. When you imbue an item you expend the spell slot of the spell casted. This spell can be activated later by whoever holds the object and says a magic word that is decided by you when casting the spell. By the next long rest, any imbued items loses it's power. You may use this ability as many times per long rest as your Charisma modifier.
Unlimited Power
From level 18, you gain access to all spell lists. You may now prepare your spells each day spending 1 minute for each spell for as many spells as your "Spells Known" on your main class spell features.
Sorcerer: Muttering
"A demented cacophony of lost minds trapped within the Wilds, they will never be free and if you hear the Muttering for too long, you will never be free either"
Fayr - Arch-fey
The muttering has always been there, a perpetual reminder of horrors from beyond our realm of imagination. Sometimes, not often, but often enough, people get lost around the Muttering, they find themselves trapped within the Muttering Forest and slipping between the Forest and the Wilds. Once you have properly fallen into the Muttering Wilds, there isn't much chance for you to return.
Those who do return from the Muttering Wilds may find themselves changed, a part of the Wilds is always within them like a source of power anchoring them back to the Muttering Nightmare. Muttering Sorcerers may never escape the sound of the Muttering that whispers to them like an old friend trying to snap them out of the dream of returning home. Some may be ab,le to drown out the constant Cacophony, using the source of power as a well to tap from. Alas, some cannot ever truly escape the Muttering in the end, Some may fall into a catatonic state, others may try to drown the muttering out, And some decide the only cure is returning to the cursed place that changed them originally.
Spells of the Wild
Starting at 1st level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Spells of the Wild table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.
Sorcerer Level | Spells |
---|---|
1 | Dissonant Whispers, Tasha's Hideos Laughter |
3 | Phantasmal Force, Tasha's Mind Whip |
5 | Fear, Summon Fey |
7 | Confusion, Phantasmal Killer |
9 | Modify Memory, Synaptic Static |
Fey Touched
Also at level 1, you gain the ability to speak, read, and write Sylvan.
Translated Muttering
From level 6, the Muttering in your mind begins to translate for you. You gain the ability to understand all spoken language as it translates into Sylvan in your mind.
Stealing Fears
From level 14 you gain the ability to read people's deepest fears and wants. You can spend 1 minute secretly infiltrating one target's mind with the muttering. After that time you can learn the target's deepest fear and biggest dream. As an action you can use this connection to force an intelligence saving throw against your spell save DC to either make the target see their worst fear and cause them to be frightened of you for 1 minute. Or show them their greatest dream and make them charmed by you for 1 minute.
Remembered Muttering
From level 18, you can now also delve deep into the mind of your target and read their memories. By using your [level 14] ability, you can now also access the memories of your target. You can search through the target's memories but you must specify which memories you are particularly searching for. While delving into their memories you can steal a memory spanning 24 hours. If you wish you can steal longer memories of an extra 24 hours per spell slot expanded. Once the memory is stolen it is stored on a piece of thread. This memory can be rewatched by holding the thread and the target can use an action to fully absorb the memory once more.
Warlock: Pact of The Fated Death
“We aren't just the diarchic rulers of this land, we are God makers. We once ruled the broken empire and we have lived longer than you can comprehend.”
Queen Void, Diarch of Logolyn
Fate as a force isn't designed to control the path of the world but instead to gently coerce it, to shape it in a way that makes sense. Fate is there to organise the chaos into palatable tales. There are some things that are destined however, and if someone is fated to die far into the future, they may be given a powerful opportunity
Those who have been fated to die may find themselves obtaining the power of youth, keeping them alive until their time comes around. Some of these people aren't aware of their abilities, their youthful appearance being a novelty, but for some their demise is fated way past a regular lifespan, giving them awareness of their basic immortality. Those that recognise their new ability may find ways to shape it, to manipulate the power they were given, trading off their youthful age for incredible magics.
Resenting their eventual time to die, those of the Fated Death find themselves reaching ever closer to their inevitable demise. As they slowly get closer to their fate they may try to find ways to break free of the pact, realising the double edge sword they have been given. Luckily for some, they are given many years, decades, or even millennia to find a way to break their fated death.

For every spell you cast, you age as many years as the spell level, (Cantrips count as 1 for the purpose of this ability) additionally you are able to cast that spell in a spell slot that is one higher than your current maximum by sacrificing a further 5 years of your life.

Escape the Dark
From level 10, Your ability to control your age grants you a level of immortality. You become unable to die due to old age or exhaustion, instead you fall unconscious for as many hours as equal to 1d8 + half your level. After this you wake up with the benefits of a long rest.
Vampiric Youth
Starting from level 14, your magic becomes vampiric in nature. When you inflict necrotic damage on a target your age is reduced by an amount equal to half the necrotic damage inflicted. With this ability you are unable to be reduced below the age given in Sidestep Fate. Once you have reduced to the same age given in Sidestep Fate, the rest can be absorbed as Hit points (This does not go over your hit point maximum)
Warlock: Pact of the Personification
“It struck Mort with sudden, terrible poignancy that Death must be the loneliest creature in the universe. In the great party of Creation, he was always in the kitchen.”
Mort
Anthropomorphic Personifications have so much work to do, sometimes they may acquire an apprentice. Whether you are helping Death do his Duty, part of the franchised Tooth Fairy collection or helping the Sandman put people to sleep; your help has granted you particular powers.
The Anthropomorphic Personifications watch the mortals of the Disc, many start to care for one or two of them. A pact with an Anthropomorphic Personification can be a relaxed one, some may just collect teeth or design snowflakes but some are required to do hard work for their patrons, collecting the souls of the dead for Death or assisting the Hogfather on his yearly duties.
When undergoing this pact, you will find yourself adopting various features of your patron. You may find yourself growing a love for black clothing and skulls, or your hair may go snow white. Your look will form into something representing the Anthropomorphic Personification you have begun work for.

If the creature that attacked you is killed in the explosion, you are healed to half of your hp total if that is more than the amount of damage the attacker was dealt.
Warlock: The Rat King
“When Morality's deformed,
And the city is torn,
Beware the storm,
Of the Rat King’s Swarm”
Poem of unknown origin
It is said in large communities, people are only ever 15ft from a Rat. When the Rat King is formed from the collective consciousness of hundreds of Rats, the Rat King sends it’s swarm across the world to collect information and secrets on the humanoids that live around them.
When a Rat King is formed in the world, their presence is often quickly discovered, however it is common knowledge that it is better having a Rat King collecting sensitive information rather than going on the offensive. If a Rat King turns to violence, most cities are unable to stop the wrath of it’s devastating swarm.
Warlocks that make deals with a Rat King find themselves in control of a small portion of the Rat King’s army. With this power, Warlocks of the Rat King can either become amazing spy masters, collecting secrets for their patron, or fearsome warriors, using their new army to lay waste to their enemies through pestilence and hungry swarms.
Expanded Spell List
The Rat King 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.
Spell Level | Spells |
---|---|

Leader Amongst the Swarm
Starting with level 1, your connection with rodents have become almost symbiotic. You gain the ability to understand and speak to rodents
Additionally you gain advantage on charisma checks against Rodents.
Duality of the Swarm
The gifts of the Rat King comes in two different forms. Warlocks of the Rat King either become powerful spy masters, using their swarm to collect the secrets of the world, or they become fearsome warriors, unleashing devastation on their enemies. At level 1 you chose either the path of Secrets or the path of Devastation.
Secrets - Spying Eyes
Your Rodent agents are able to follow a target undetected. Once per short rest you may mark a creature that you can see. Once a target is marked, the Rat will follow them for a total of 24 hours. During this time you know the location of the target.
The target will be followed for the whole 24 hours unless the Rat is discovered, the target uses a teleportation spell or if they use any vehicle that is faster than the Rat.
Additionally you gain proficiency in either Deception of Persuasion
Devastation - Fearsome Swarm
Your Swarm can cause fear in the heart of your enemies. Once per short rest you can force every creature of your choice within 15ft of you to make a wisdom saving throw (The DC is equal to your Spell Save DC) or be frightened of you. Those affected by this ability can re-roll the save at the end of each of their turns.
Additionally you gain proficiency in Intimidation.
Swarming Power
At level 6, You gain further power from the path of your choice. You must choose the same path as you chose at level 3.
Secrets - Rodent Insight
Your rodent network grants you insight into everyone around you. After talking to someone for 1 minute you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice:
- Armour class
- Charisma score
- Constitution score
- Intelligence score
- Total class level (if any)
Once you have done this to someone, you gain advantage on Deception, Insight and Persuasion rolls against the target.
Once you use this ability, you can't use the feature again until you finish a short rest.
Devastation - Pestilence Bringer
Your Swarm can spread devastating pestilence around you. As an action you can force every creature of your choice within 35ft of you to make a Constitution saving throw or be poisoned and gain one level of exhaustion. The creatures that succeed on this save are poisoned until the end of their next turn.
The creatures that failed the save may re-roll it at the end of each of their turns. For each failed roll after the first, they take 3d6 poison damage. If they roll a natural 1 while making subsequent constitution saves against this ability, they gain an additional point of exhaustion.
Once you use this ability, you can't use the feature again until you finish a long rest.
Powerful Swarm
At level 10, you gain an additional ability on your chosen path, You must choose the same path as you chose at level 3 and 6.
Secrets - Eyes in Every Room
Your agents are everywhere. Once per long rest you may cast Scrying without using a spell slot or material components. While Scrying, instead of looking through an invisible sensor, you instead look through the many eyes of your rodent agents near them. If they are somewhere that rodents wouldn't reasonably be, the spell is instead cast as written.
If you use this ability on a target that is currently marked with your Spying Eyes ability, the target is unable to save against being observed.
Additionally, once per long rest, you are able to plant a swarm in a location. While your swarm is in this location, you are able to scry on that location once per short rest without using a spell slot or material components.
The swarm stays in the room until you place a new swarm in a different location or if they are discovered.
Devastation - Summon the Swarm
You can summon the swarm to surround and destroy your enemies. Once per short rest you can summon your swarm for a total of 1 minute in one of two ways:
Concentrated Swarms: You summon 5 Swarms of Rats (MM339) in unoccupied spaces within 40ft of you. These Swarms of Rats roll their initiatives and will spend their turns attacking nearby creatures that you don't consider allies. You may use your bonus action to command the swarms.
Surrounding Swarms: The swarm spreads out in a 40ft radius of you. For each creature you don't consider an ally, the radius is considered difficult terrain and they take 1d12 poison damage for every 5ft they move as the rats attack them as they walk past.
Unstoppable Swarm
From level 14, your mastery over the swarm allows you to altar the gifts of the Rat King. After each long rest, you are able to choose between the secrets and the Devastation path.
When you change between the paths, any long term abilities (such as Eyes in Every Room) remain but are unaccessible while in the other path.

Witch
Soaring above a cottage, an eagle swoops down closer to the trees. It has been two hours since it took a back seat in it's own mind, the Witch from below is back, borrowing the Eagle's body to soar in the sky. Drawing the final symbols on the floor, a Witch finishes her focusing circle, utilising her Witch training and the latest of Wizard magic, she casts a spell most Witches have only heard of. On her rounds, a Witch finds herself tending to a man in great pain. Finding the source of the pain, she moves it out of his body and holds it above her head, placing the pain in a nearby glass, it shatters.
Clever Magic
Witch magic is very different from the wizard magic taught in the Unseen University, and consists largely of finding the right lever that makes everything else work. Witches rarely do any magic, in fact, relying more on common sense, hard work, and a peculiar brand of psychology known as headology. This can be taken very far, a witch's way of magically setting fire to a log of wood consists of staring at the log until it spontaneously combusts from pure embarrassment. As a result, it is less energy-intensive, which means that a witch can technically do more than an equally-powerful wizard. The same zen-like knowledge that gives them this ability generally discourages them from making a big deal about it beyond refusing to take wizards seriously. Headology is more commonly used on people, like the placebo effect. Witches unironically acting with melodrama, of which cackling is an early sign, is often an indication of "going to the bad" and becoming a stereotypically wicked witch.
Detatched Protectors
The role of witches has been defined as "smoothing out life's humps and bumps", and "helping people when life's on the edge", and they take this obligation seriously. They also never ask for anything in return. A normal day for a Witch is traveling around their steading and ensuring everyone is cared for, whether they need a midwife or toenails clipped, a Witch is always willing to help. Life as a Witch is a thankless job, many live alone and are fearfully respected rather than liked. As such Witches tend to emphasize at every possible opportunity that it is considered lucky to have a witch in your house, and that it would be especially lucky if the witch was well-provided for. Unfortunately, not all Witches are content with this kind of job, This leads some witches to become resentful of their charges, and to use their power against them. A witch who "goes to the bad" may initially not feel she is doing anything wrong, but will eventually build gingerbread houses and poison spinning wheels. Witches call this "cackling" and, to keep it at bay, they pay regular visits to one another to gossip and take tea, all the while watching for telltale signs.
Creating a Witch
When creating a Witch, it's important to consider your character's personality. How do they cope with the unwanted nature of their good deeds? do they still commit to doing these deeds? How do they feel about the Witches that have their own cottages, their own steadings? Do they hope to have their own one day? have they already had one and lost it? or do they currently have one and is separated for various reasons? Does your Witch believe that true power comes from knowing not to use magic? or are they striving to become more powerful? are they showing any signs of "going to the bad"? have they been found cackling to themselves? do they have an odd hobby in researching the gingerbread housing market?
Quick Build

Wizard: School of Subterfuge
"In a weird way people look down on wizards, they assume we are lazy and stuffy academics. I've never hidden my profession and yet people always under-estimate me, it's what makes my job so easy. They assume because I'm smiling and talking to them at a party that I'm harmless, not understanding I have already destabilised their regime.”
Frarah Ostane, Inventor of the School of Subterfuge
Wizards in the school of Subterfuge ditch the starry robes for tight fitting suits and ties. They use their charm and charisma to talk their way into the lives of rulers and the elite, gathering intel and using it against them.

"Well, we are wizards," said Ridcully. "We're supposed to meddle in things we don't understand. If we hung around waitin' till we understood things we'd never get anything done.”
Interesting Times
Wizards at magic universities are an eclectic bunch, they are more interested
in good cheese than the safety of their own students.
When a lot of Wizards cast magic together, it can become unstable, it reacts weird to the magic that remains from years of spells going wrong. This unpredictable nature leaves many Wizards hiding behind pillars when spells are going off in fear of death, or being turned into an orangutan.
