1.1 Why Create Classes?

Summary

The magus is your typical "spellsword" class. It's a halfcaster, half-martial class, like the paladin or ranger. Blending wizards and fighters, it's signature feature, "spellstrike", allows a magus to cast a spell with a strike of their weapon, dealing their weapon damage and hitting the target with the spell at the same time. They get cantrips, so their basic attack is generally spellstriking a damaging cantrip with a weapon attack.

With a 1d8 hit die, only light or medium armor, and no shields, magi are on the squishier side. They make up for this by being especially efficacious with their spells as a spellstruck spell forces the target to make their spell save with disadvantage (they still need to actually hit the target, so it balances out).

My Thoughts

The magus is my baby. For years, I wanted a class tailored entirely to a spellsword concept and I dreamed of what a class like that might look like. I wasn't satisfied by the eldritch knight or bladesinger, so I eventually decided to make something of my own to fill the need.

The magus class is a satisfying way to feel like a spellsword. Casting a spell with a weapon attack feels kind of like a paladin's smite, but the difference is you actually get to cause a spell's normal effects with the attack. A spellstruck spell only ever affects the one target, which gives the magus a particular niche as an effective single-target class with some spell utility (though far less than full casters). Other features of interest are magus arcana, giving them a limited resource to magically enhance their combat capability, magus' shield, giving them a magical boost to AC when they have a free hand and proficiency in concentration (constitution) checks, and spell absorption, allowing them to reduce magical damage they take and turn it back on their foes.

To my delight, the magus became one of the more popular classes I have released.

Summary

The bloodrager is a blend of barbarians and sorcerers into another halfcaster, half-martial. They have rages (called bloodrages) like a barbarian, but lack their full martial capabilities (e.g. they get a 1d10 hit die, no danger sense, fast movement, brutal critical, etc.). To make up for this reduced martial capability, they also get access to sorcerer spells to supplement their feral fighting.

A bloodrager's primary, unique features are bloodrage, which gives them extra damage on their attacks and spells, savage magic, allowing them to harm themselves to empower their magic, fierce caster, allowing them to make a single melee attack when they cast a spell, and sorcerous/eldritch rage, which allow them to cast spells targeting themselves when they initiate their bloodrage.

My Thoughts

I enjoyed writing the magus so much I decided why not make a second halfcaster. My favorite official class is the sorcerer, but, depending on the campaign/DM style, slinging spells from the backline can often be boring to me.

The bloodrager lets you enjoy the feeling of a caster with inherent, sorcerous power, but also lets you effectively fight on the frontline. It's difficult to efficiently multiclass a barbarian and caster evenly, without feeling like you are simply a weak barbarian mixed with a weak caster, especially due to the limitations on casting while raging. The bloodrager is the answer to that, where your rages and furious attacks are mixed with your spellcasting, instead of being at odds.

Summary

Oracles are a fullcaster class. They have a spell list that is basically 2/3 cleric, 1/3 sorcerer, with access to nearly all divination spells. Their signature feature that really makes them an oracle is epiphany, which allows them to cast augury, divination, or commune (the latter spells become available as they level up) as a bonus action once per long rest. This feature allows the oracle to receive sudden knowledge at any point, even in combat.

All oracles also have an "oracle's curse", a flavorful debilitation (e.g. partial deafness, being haunted/possessed, disease) which actually grants benefits as you gain oracle levels. Their other main class feature is the capstone "revelation" which allows you to ask an additional question with augury/divination/commune.

My Thoughts

Creating the oracle was a unique challenge for me. It was my first time creating a fullcaster class, which get fewer class features to really establish their identity. When I first finished the oracle, I was underwhelmed because the Oracle didn't feel like a coherent class. Each subclass felt like it was entirely different from any other, and there was nothing that made each oracle actually feel like an oracle. So I scrapped my first version of the class and entirely reworked it, redoing all of the main class features (except Oracle's curse) and removing the level 20 capstone feature from each subclass and giving it to the main class instead.

This is when I developed the epiphany and revelation features, which allowed the oracle to cast augury/divination/commune different than any other class, having the opportunity to cast them once per long rest as a bonus action, representing the sudden flashes of knowledge oracles are known to receive. With these additions, the oracle finally felt like an oracle.

The time spend rewriting the oracle paid off as it would become my second most popular class.

Summary

Brawlers are martial classes, whose unarmed attacks are similar to monks, but that's where the similarities end. Brawlers' main statistic is strength and they rely on unconventional grappling, shoving, and disarming while they attack. The signature feature of brawlers is "dirty fighting" which gives them "cheap shot" points which can be expended to grapple/shove/disarm or perform a subclass-specific technique when they attack.

Brawlers also get a powerful defensive feature at first level, "hard knocks", which grants them resistance to all damage for one round. At higher levels, brawler's unarmed damage die increases, they are able to grapple/shove larger opponents, and they get more uses of hard knocks. They also get a variety of other familiar features such as "fast movement" and "danger sense", and some unique ones like "awesome blow" and "size-up opponent".

My Thoughts

The brawler was my first martial class. One of my biggest gripes with martials is that DM's tend to limit them more than I think is appropriate. If it's unrealistic for a real person to do something, DM's tend to consider it impossible for a martial to do, while casters get to bend the fabric of reality with their spells. (Sidenote: this is the main reason I love laserllama's alternate fighter and barbarian with their exploit system, please go check those out).

So, when writing the brawler, I wanted to make sure it was capable of doing fantastic and impossible feats, despite being a pure martial. "Force of will" makes their attacks count as magical for resistance purposes, their "dirty fighting" points let them perform techniques unique to their subclass or simply grapple/shove as they attack, and "improved dirty fighting" and "legendary brawler" let them use these grapples and shoves on larger and larger creatures as they level. A level 20 brawler can basically suplex an ancient dragon if they succeed on the grapple and shove prone competitions, which I think is awesome.

Summary

The summoner is a halfcaster with a class pet, called an "eidolon". The eidolon is a creature created by the summoner and gets features of your choice as you level-up in a unique "evolution" system. The summoner itself primarily learns conjuration spells and support spells to bolster its eidolon and allies.

Some of the summoner's other features are "summon creature", giving the summoner some more variability in what summoning creatures other than their eidolon, "maker's call" and "transposition", which teleport you and your eidolon relative to one another and allows "self" spells to target the eidolon instead, "life bond" which lets you reduce your own hit points to reduce damage to your eidolon, "aspect" which gives you some of your eidolon's features, and "merge forms" which allows you to merge with your eidolon, primarily as a protective measure.

Summary

The wildshifter is essentially a martial druid. They have shapeshifting abilities, like the druid, but the majority of their class features are tailored to the shapeshifting concept, unlike druids. Although, in return, they do not get spellcasting. The main idea of the class is that a wildshifter learns various "wild aspects" allowing them to partially or fully transform into those creatures.

As they level, wildshifters also get features such as "chimeric form" and "avatar of the wilds", allowing them to blend their various wild aspects in unique combinations. In combat, a wildshifter primarily uses natural weapons from their wild aspects to fight, getting features like "natural weapons", "natural armor", "druidic claws", and "feral fury" to bolster their close-combat capabilities. There are also a couple of familiar features granted to wildshifters including "evasion", "land's stride", and "timeless body".

My Thoughts

I really like the idea of the wildshifter. While druids are technically able to shapeshift as well, it isn't always the most viable option in combat when their main strength comes from spellcasting. Wildshifters are the answer to this as they become quite effective in melee through their wild aspects.

Unfortunately, wildshifters did not get a lot of attention on release. I believe this is primarily due to their similarity to druids, causing them to feel like a repeated class. In addition, druid's wildshape allows for a larger variety of animal forms than wildshifters get access to, which feels disappointing for a class based on shapeshifting. Wildshifters have since received a buff allowing them greater variety in their shapeshifting, while maintaining the specific strengths they obtain from their selected wild aspects.

I also feel like I would be remiss if I did not mention that yes, I noticed this class's "wild aspect" feature is reminiscent of the animorphs. Thank you.

Summary

The arcanist is a fullcaster blend of sorcerers and wizards, creating an intelligence-based caster with unique spell-blending and twisting capabilities. While sorcerers have meta-magic options to alter their spells in unique ways, arcanists instead blend their spells together, mixing various effects and elements of the component spells with one another using their signature feature "spell blending".

Because spell blending is obtained at level 3, a weaker version "spell tweaking" is granted to arcanists at level 1, allowing them to make minor modifications to spells they cast, using the ranges/damage types/etc. from other spells they know. Arcanists also learn "arcane consolidation" allowing them to combine lower level spell slots into higher level ones (this is limited by their arcanist level) which synergizes well with spell blending. Lastly, arcanists also get to "invent" new spells with the "spell writer" feature which involves blending two spells and reducing the spell slot level required for that particular blend by one.

My Thoughts

The arcanist is my way of creating a system for spell homebrewing within a class. Those who would enjoy twisting and altering spells to be different from their original function will love playing around with the possibilities of this class.

Other than their unique spell blending, the class does feel similar to a sorcerer or wizard in terms of the kind of magic it has access to. However, it does successfully create its own unique identity with the "tweak spell", "spell blending", and "spell writer" features, though.

Summary

The inquisitor is a halfcaster (prepared spells), with martial and utility capabilities akin to a ranger, but with divine-oriented spells and flavor. The class's signature feature is "judgment" where the inquisitor chooses a particular creature and gains bonuses against that creature (e.g. bonuses to hit, increases AC against its attacks, giving it a penalty against your spell save DC, etc.). Class spells are oriented towards utility and information gathering, mixed with cleric support spells and control spells.

The class also gets significant exploration/knowledge utility with features like "monster lore" that give them bonuses to identifying and understanding creatures they come across, "track the vile" which improves their ability to find and follow creatures, "expose the wicked" improving their detect good and evil spell, and "discern lies" which allows them to automatically know when someone is being intentionally deception. In terms of combat ability, they get the familiar "fighting style" feature, "bane of evil" which grants them additional damage against a creature type they choose during a rest, "stalwart" which improves their wisdom and constitution saves, and "final judgment" at 20th level which allows for a possible insta-kill once per day on a failed save (at this point, the big bads will have legendary resistance, so this is something that could only work once those have been exhausted).

My Thoughts

This is one of my personal favorites. As you may have noticed while I talked about the magus, I'm a big fan of writing halfcasters that blend physical prowess in combat with magic. I believe the inquisitor hits the nail on the head for class identity, when it comes to both flavor and mechanics. Its magical capabilities really lean towards gathering information and controlling foes, which feels perfect for a bounty-hunter-like, wicked-slaying class like the inquisitor.

Also, it's more utility-based features like "track the vile" or "monster lore" are useful (if somewhat situational) and synergize very well with the class's "bane of evil" damage boost. This makes the class optimal when it uses its features and spells to determine where and what kinds of creatures they will be meeting and then preparing to deal with those specific creatures with "bane of evil" and their prepared spell selection. This feels very much like you'd expect an inquisitor to act, so I'm pleased with how the mechanical features match the intended flavor.

Might and Magic

There are those who spend their lives poring over ancient tomes and texts, unlocking the power of magic, and there are those who spend their time perfecting the use of individual weapons, becoming masters without equal. The magus is at once a student of both philosophies, blending magical ability and martial prowess into something entirely unique, a discipline in which both spell and steel are used to devastating effect. As magi grow in power, they unlock powerful forms of arcana that allow them to merge their talents further, and at the pinnacle of their art, magi become
a blur of steel and magic, a force that few foes would dare to stand against.

Versatile Students

Magi spend much of their time traveling the world, learning whatever secrets they can find. They might spend months learning a new sword-fighting style from a master warrior, while simultaneously moonlighting in the local library, poring through tomes of ancient lore. Most who take this path dabble in all sorts of knowledge, picking up anything that might aid them in their search for martial and magical perfection.

Creating a Magus

To create a magus, consider what drives your character to develop their martial and magical prowess. Did something happen to a loved one, instilling in you a need to protect others? Do you have a rival, whom you must prove inferior? Do you come from a family or tradition that expects absolute perfection in the art of combat?

As a magus gains power, they refine their focus into a particular magi study. Although the class features related to your study don’t appear until you reach 3rd level, plan ahead for that choice by reading the study descriptions at the end of the class. Are you a heavily-armored warrior, using magic to supplement your powerful strikes? Are you a student of witchcraft, using your arcane energies to curse and control others? Or are you a devoted servant of a diety, trained to purge evil from the land?

Finally, consider your motivations for pursuing adventure. Are you adventuring to improve your mastery of martial combat or arcane knowledge? To use your abilities for good? Or maybe to prove yourself to your mentor or a parent figure?

Quick Build

You can make a magus quickly by following these suggestions. First, Strength or Dexterity should be your highest ability score, followed by Intelligence. Second, choose the sage background. Third, choose
the fire bolt and shocking
grasp cantrips.

Class Features

As a Magus, you gain the following class features:

Spell Recognition

Beginning at 3rd level, you quickly recognize magic even in the heat of combat. You know the school of magical spells and effects that target you, that you are in the area of effect of, or that otherwise affect you.

This feature does not apply if you are unaware that you are under the influence of a spell or effect, such as when you are charmed or believe an illusion. If you become aware of the spell, you know its school of magic.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.

Extra Attack

                       Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice,
                        instead of once, whenever you take the attack
                          action on your turn.

                           You can replace one of those attacks with a
                            cantrip (cast as if you were levels 1-4).

Magus' Shield

                                Beginning at 6th level, you can protect
                            yourself with magical energies. You gain
                       proficiency in constitution saving throws made
                        to maintain concentration on spells when you
                        take damage.

                       Also, whenever you have a free hand, you gain
                         a +2 bonus to AC, as if you were wielding a
                         shield. You lose this benefit until the beginning
                          of your next turn if you use that hand to wield
                            a weapon or otherwise manipulate an
                          object.

Arcane Knowledge

                      At 10th level, you have expanded your arcane
                        knowledge to other disciplines. You may learn
                        two spells from any class list.

                        The chosen spells must be of a level for
                         which you have spell slots and count as magus
                         spells for you. You learn one more such spell at
                          levels 14 and 18.

Improved Spellstrike

              At 11th level, you improve your ability to deliver
             damaging cantrips with your weapon. Beginning
             at this level, your damaging cantrips are treated as
            if you are levels 5-10 when cast with the spellstrike
           or extra attack features.

Spell Absorption

 At 14th level, you learn to absorb harmful magical energies into your weapon. When you take damage from a magical spell or effect, you may spend 2 AP and use your reaction to reduce the incoming damage by 1d10 + your Intelligence modifier + your magus level.

The magical damage you absorbed is stored in your weapon and unleashed on your next hit. Before the end of your next turn, when you first hit a creature with your weapon, you deal additional damage equal to the amount avoided. The damage type is the same as the original triggering spell or effect.

Once you have absorbed magic into your weapon, you cannot use this feature again until the magic has been released through a successful attack or until it dissipates at the end of your next turn.

True Magus

At 20th level, you become a master of spells and combat. You may use the spellstrike feature twice per round if at least one of the spells used is a cantrip.

Armor Bond

At 3rd level, when you choose this study, you gain proficiency in heavy armor.

In addition, you learn a ritual that creates a magical bond between yourself and one set of armor. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short or long rest. The armor must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the armor and forge the bond. You can only bond with one set of armor at a time; to bond with new armor you must break your bond with the original armor as part of the ritual.

Once you have bonded armor to yourself, you no longer need to don and doff the armor as normal. Instead, as long as your bonded armor is on the same plane of existence, you can summon your armor as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to appear instantly on your body. Similarly, as a bonus action, you can dismiss the armor to a familiar location of your choice.

Warmage's Strike

Beginning at 3rd level, you can augment the damage of your weapon attacks with raw arcana. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you may spend AP to deal force damage equal to 1d6 per AP spent plus your intelligence
        modifier. You may spend a number of AP up to half your
                                                 magus level (rounded down)
                                                           to use this feature.

Fighting Style

At 7th level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Defense

While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Dueling

When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Protection

When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield or have increased AC from the magus' shield feature.

Arcane Sunder

Beginning at 11th level, your weapon strikes can undercut a creature’s resistance to spells. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you may spend 2 AP to give that creature disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes to resist a spell before the end of your next turn.

Mind and Body

At 15th level, you learn to use your extensive martial knowledge to give yourself an edge in physical activities. When you make a Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution ability check or saving throw, you may use your reaction to add your Intelligence modifier to the result. This can be done a
                                                    number of times per long rest
                                                         equal to your Intelligence
                                                                   modifier (minimum
                                                                        of once).

Study of the Magister

In direct contrast to the warmage study, a magister
develops their spellcasting beyond that of the other magi studies. Magisters see the pursuit of arcane power as the ultimate means to perfection.

Arcana Flux

At 3rd level, you learn to bend your magical reserves to suit your purposes. You can use your arcane points to gain additional spell slots.

Creating Spell Slots. You can transform unexpended arcane points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of a given level. You can create spell slots no higher in level than 5th.

Arcana Point Cost	Spell Slot Level
2	1st
3	2nd
5	3rd
6	4th
7	5th

Converting a Spell Slot to Arcana Points. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one spell slot and gain a number of arcane points equal to the slot’s level.

Font of Mana

Beginning at 3rd level, through practice you have developed your magical reserves further than most. You gain additional spell slots at the following levels. These replenish with your other spell slots.

• At 3rd level, you gain an additional level 1 Spell Slot.
• At 7th level, you gain an additional level 2 Spell Slot.
• At 11th level, you gain an additional level 3 Spell Slot.

Deep Arcane Knowledge

At 7th level, you learn two spells from any class list. The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots and count as magus spells for you.

When you gain a magus level, you may replace one of the spells obtained with this feature for another.

Empowered Magic

Beginning at 11th level, you can empower your spells with arcane energy. You may spend 1 AP to add your Intelligence modifier to the damage of a magus spell you cast.

Arcane Restoration

Beginning at 15th level, once per short rest, you may replenish an amount of AP up to your Intelligence Modifier as a bonus action. At any time, your current AP cannot exceed your maximum AP pool.

Study of the Hexcrafter

A hexcrafter magus has uncovered the secret of using their arcane pool to recreate witch hexes. These magi can hex foes, curse those they strike, and expand their spell selection to include many curses and harmful spells.

Expanded Hexcrafter Spell List

You gain access to the following spells, and may learn them after you have reached the appropriate Magus level. They are magus spells for you.

Magus Level	Spells
3rd	hex, bane
5th	enthrall, crown of madness
9th	remove curse, bestow curse
13th	blight, compulsion
17th	geas, circle of power

Cursed Blade

                                                    At 3rd level, you learn to curse
                                                       your weapon to debilitate and
                                                      harm your opponents. You
                                                         learn a ritual that turns a
                                                          weapon of your choice into
                                                            a cursed item. The ritual is
                                                          performed over 1 hour
                                                       which can be done during a
                                                   short or long rest.

                                                    You can handle the cursed
                                                    weapon without incurring any
                                                     negative effect, but any other
                                                     creature who wields the
                                                      weapon must make a wisdom
                                                      saving throw against your
                                                    spell save DC. On a failure, they
                                              must make a roll on the short-term
                                        madness table (located in the dungeon
                                     master's guide). Anytime the creature
                                  attempts a weapon attack with the cursed
                                 weapon, they repeat the save and roll on
                                  the madness table on a failure. The
                                   madness effects take place before the
                                 attack roll is made.

                                  Another creature wielding the weapon
                                  must use their action to make a wisdom
                                   saving throw against your spell save DC
                                to willingly release the weapon. After
                         release, any madness remains for its duration
                      or until ended by a lesser restoration or remove
                     curse spell.

Hexcrafter's Curse

    Beginning at 3rd level, your cursed weapon can apply
  minor hexes on contact. As a bonus action, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack from the cursed weapon you may spend 2 AP to additionally cast hex at 1st level on them without expending a spell slot. When cast this way, if the target drops to 0 hit points, hex cannot be transferred to a new target.

At higher levels you gain the ability to cast new spells with this feature. Spells cast with this feature do not require concentration.

Improved Hex

At 7th level, you have attained mastery of common curses. Instead of 1d6, you now deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to targets under the effect of your hex spell. This damage increases to 1d10 at 11th level and 1d12 at 15th level.

Advanced Curse

At 11th level, the curses applied by your weapon intensify, blinding the senses of its target. You may now spend 3 AP to cast blindness/deafness at 2nd level in place of hex for the hexcrafter's curse feature.

Dreadful Curse

At 15th level, your weapon can deliver devastating curses. You may now spend 4 AP to cast bestow curse at 3rd level instead for the hexcrafter's curse feature.

Ranged Spellstrike

At 3rd level, you learn to perform spellstrike attacks through ranged weapons. Your spellstrike feature is modified to
                                     additionally allow spellcasting with
                                         ranged weapon attacks.

Mystical Barrage

Beginning at 3rd level, you can use arcane energies to launch multiple projectiles in one attack. When you use your action to make an attack with a ranged weapon, you may expend 1 AP to make one additional attack against the target creature as part of your action.

After using focused barrage, all your subsequent attacks must target that same creature until the end of your turn. This feature cannot be performed if you previously made an attack roll against a different creature on your current turn.

Arcane Projectiles

Beginning at 7th level, you can imbue your ammunition with elemental energies. Doing so requires 1 minute of time per piece of ammunition enchanted. Projectiles enchanted in this manner do an extra 1d6 fire, cold, lightning, acid, or poison
  damage (your choice at the time of enchantment) when used
            by the magus and lose their enchantment after being
              used for an attack.

Stunning Shot

                At 11th level, you become adept at targeting
               opponents weak points with magical energies. Once
               per round, when you hit a creature with a ranged
             weapon attack you may expend 2 AP to attempt a
           stunning shot. The target must succeed on a
         Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or
         be stunned until the end of your next turn.

Perfected Spellstrike

                  At 15th level, you expand the repertoire of spells
                  you can deliver with your ranged attacks. When
                      you perform spellstrike with a ranged weapon,
                          you can choose to allow the spell to affect its
                            normal area instead of a single target.

                          The target of your projectile may be a
                         creature or a specific point in the environment.
                      If your target is a creature, they are considered
                         within the area of the spell on a hit and have
                         disadvantage on the spell's initial saving throw,
                            if applicable. If your target is a point in the
                             environment, your attack automatically hits.

                            Spells with an area of effect have their
                              point of origin where your projectile strikes.
                             For cone, cube, and line shaped spells, the
                          areas extend in the direction opposite of you.
                        The ranges of other spells (without a defined
                       area of effect) are similarly determined from
                       where your projectile strikes.

                         If your attack misses a creature, the DM
                          determines a reasonable location the
                               projectile lands and thus the location of the
                              spell's point of origin.

                                 If you make a critical hit on a spellstrike
                                   using a spell with an area of effect, only
                                      the targeted creature takes critical
                                     damage from the spell and weapon
                                   attack. All other creatures in the spell's
                                area take normal damage from the spell.

Unlike other magus studies, vanquishers study the will of the divine to fuel magical attacks. Much like paladins and clerics, vanquishers are often sworn to the service of a diety and spend their lives in pursuit of heavenly knowledge.

Restorative Strike

Beginning at 3rd level, you can unleash bursts of divine healing with your strikes. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you may spend AP to regain hit points equal to 1d6 per AP spent plus your intelligence modifier. You may spend a number of AP up to half your magus level (rounded down) to use this feature.

Student of the Heavens

                   At 7th level, you have learned much about the
          creatures that inhabit the many planes through your
      studies. You have advantage on intelligence ability checks
  to recall information about aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead.

Possible information known about these creatures includes their abilities, strongest/weakest ability scores, etc. in addition to general facts about a creature's behavior and history.

Spiritual Devotion

Beginning at 11th level, your dedication to heavenly principles empowers you with holy protection. When you take damage, you may use your reaction and spend 2 AP to give yourself resistance to the triggering damage.

Blessed Slayer

At 15h level, you have expanded your knowledge of the planes and the creatures within them and are prepared to end those who defy the holy standards of your worship. You have advantage on melee attack rolls against creatures of the following types: aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead.

In addition, those creatures have disadvantage on intelligence, wisdom, and charisma saving throws to resist your spells and features.

Study of the Stygian

Some magi, known as stygians, learn to blend shadowfell magic with their martial training, letting them stay unnoticed as they take down foes.

Shadow Weaver

At 3rd level, you learn to guide shadows to magically conceal yourself. You gain proficiency in stealth (or another magus class skill if already proficient). Whenever you make a stealth check, you may add your Intelligence modifier to the roll.

Additionally, whenever you cast a spell, you may spend 1 AP to cast it silently, without verbal components.

Arcane Cloak

                                             Beginning at 3rd level, you use
                                              arcane energy to render yourself
                                              briefly invisible. When you move on
                                               your turn, you may spend 1 AP to
                                               become invisible until the
                                                beginning of your next turn. This
                                                 invisibility ends early when you
                                                attack or cast a spell.

                                             Creatures who know you are
                                             present may make a perception
                                          check on their turn against your spell
                                       save DC to know your location (no
                                      action required). On a success, that
                                     creature may attack you at
                                      disadvantage. Creatures whom you
                                        attacked on your last turn have
                                            advantage on the perception check.

                                            You may use arcane cloak out of
                                              combat when turns are not closely
                                                tracked. In these situations,
                                                  arcane cloak lasts 6 seconds
                                                (unless it ends early). You may
                                             spend additional AP to extend the
                                           invisibility by an additional 6
                                            seconds per AP spent.

Void Sight

                                             Beginning at 7th level, your
                                           expertise with shadow allows you to
                                         see clearly through darkness and
                                         partially see through invisibility. You
                                         gain darkvision for 60 feet, and can
                                     see through magical darkness. If you
                                     already have darkvision, the range
                                   increases by 30 feet. Additionally, you
                                  can see the vague outline of invisible
                          creatures and objects within 30 feet of you,
                  allowing you to know their location. Your attacks
                against invisible creatures are still made with
             disadvantage.

Lingering Shadow

 Beginning at 11th level, shadows cling to your form even when you are no longer invisible. Whenever the invisibility from your arcane cloak ends early, attacks against you have disadvantage until the beginning of your next turn.

Nightblade's Strike

Beginning at 15th level, your mastery of stealth and arcana allow you to deliver devastating strikes suffused with harmful shadowfell magic. Once per round, when you have advantage on an attack roll, you may spend 3 AP to automatically hit before you make the attack roll. You may still roll to attack after choosing to perform this feature to determine if you make a critical hit.

An attack performed this way deals an additional 2d6 necrotic damage a number of times equal to your intelligence modifier (for example, if you have +3 as your intelligence modifier, you deal an additional 6d6 necrotic damage).

Natural Magic

At 3rd level, you begin using your knowledge of nature and its creatures to power your magic. You gain proficiency in nature (or another magus class skill if already proficient).

In addition, when your Spellcasting feature lets you learn a magus spell, you can choose the new spell from the ranger spell list or the magus spell list. These are magus spells for you.

Boon of the Hunt

Beginning at 3rd level, your arcane blows inspire ancestor warrior spirits to empower your war party. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you may spend 1 AP to grant an ally within 10ft of yourself advantage on attack rolls until the beginning of your next turn.

Feral Skill

At 7th level, you infuse your martial capabilities with passed-down techniques learned anciently from the wild. Choose one of the following options.

Fortitude of the Bear

Once per short rest, when a creature hits you and deals damage, you may use your reaction to take only
half as much damage.

Agility of the Elk

Once per short rest, when you fail a dexterity saving throw, you may use your reaction to succeed instead.

Ferocity of the Wolf

Once per short rest, when you hit a creature, you may choose to roll your weapon damage die twice and add them together for that attack.

Shrewdness of the Owl

Once per short rest, when you miss a melee attack roll, you may choose to reroll the attack.

Nerve of the Hawk

Once per short rest, if you fail a check to maintain concentration on a spell, you may choose to succeed instead.

Empowering Ritual

At 11th level, you have created a ritual to bolster your allies before a fight. Once per long rest, you and up to 10 allies may participate in the ritual which takes 10 minutes. This can be done as part of a long or short rest. Each creature that participates gains temporary hit points equal to half your magus level (rounded down) plus your intelligence modifier.

Wild Arcana

At 15th level, you begin applying arcane power to your nature-inspired martial techniques. Your may now use your chosen feral skill technique more than once per short rest, however, every subsequent use after the first requires spending AP.

           Additional uses of Ferocity of the Wolf require 1 AP,
                                                 all other techniques require 2 AP.

Ancestral Power

While many ferocious combatants can tap into a deep reservoir of buried rage, bloodragers have an intrinsic power that seethes within. Like sorcerers, bloodragers’ veins surge with arcane power. While sorcerers use this power for spellcasting, bloodragers enter an altered state in which
their bloodline becomes manifest, where the echoes of
their strange ancestry lash out with devastating power. Through their inherited power, bloodragers can cast
some arcane spells instinctively. The bloodrager’s magic
is as fast, violent, and seemingly unstoppable as their physical prowess.

Arcane Blood

Like barbarians, bloodragers use their physical might and inherent power to charge into danger to keep their people and their allies safe. A bloodrager may leave their home for
a number of reasons, and, due to their abilities, they will
find themselves naturally suited to a life of adventure.
From their barbaric roots, bloodragers are accustomed
to a life of constant challenge and peril, and are often
loathe to settle down and let their inner power lie
dormant.

In an adventuring party, bloodragers take the
frontline, using their mighty attacks and savage
magic to overwhelm foes and draw attention
away from their allies. The presence of a
bloodrager is hard to ignore, especially when
their arcane power is unleashed in a bloodrage.

Creating a Bloodrager

The most important question to consider when creating your bloodrager is the origin of your power. When you make your character, you choose the nature of your bloodrager's arcane blood, such as a draconic ancestry or raw elemental power. However, you also choose the details of your power's origin. For instance, is it a blessing, passed down to you from distant ancestors? Or did some extraordinary event leave you blessed with inherent magic but perhaps scarred as well?

Consider what drove you to leave your old life behind in favor of adventure. Were you cast out due to fear of your power? Or perhaps as a rite of passage to become a true warrior? Do you feel a longing for your old life and a deep connection to your people? Or are you running from your past and plan on cutting all ties?

Consider as well your motivations for adventure. Are you seeking the origin of your power in order to reconnect with your ancestry? Or do you intend to end the blood curse that has plagued your family for generations? Are you simply accustomed to the life of a wanderer? Or would you like to settle but find it difficult to be trusted in civilized society?

Quick Build

You can make a bloodrager quickly by following these suggestions. First, Strength should be your highest ability score, followed by Charisma. Second, choose the
outlander background.

Class Features

As a Bloodrager, you gain the following class features:

Bloodline features often involve transformations. Regardless of the transformation, your equipment continues to be worn or is integrated into your form so you retain all benefits from enchanted items, weapons, and armor. As a couple examples, AC bonuses from armor and shields are retained even in large forms that could not normally wear the armor, and magic items such as gauntlets, rings, or cloaks continue providing their benefit regardless of your transformation.

For weapons, you may choose to either integrate a wielded weapon into your form so that you gain its magical properties for one of your transformed melee attacks (such as one claw) or continue wielding the weapon in your new form.

Bloodrage

                                                 Starting at 1st level, you fight
                                                 with the primal energy of your
                                                  bloodline. On your turn, you can
                                                  enter a bloodrage as a bonus
                                                action.

                                            While bloodraging, you gain the
                                         following benefits if you aren’t
                                        wearing heavy armor:

• You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.

• When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, or cast a bloodrager spell that deals damage, you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to your bloodrage die. This die increases as you gain levels as a bloodrager, as shown in the Bloodrage Die column of the Bloodrager table.

• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

                                      Your bloodrage lasts for 1 minute. It
                                  ends early if you are knocked unconscious
                                 or if your turn ends and you have not
                                  attacked a hostile creature, cast a spell, or
                                    taken damage since your last turn. You
                                  can also end your bloodrage on your turn
                                  as a bonus action.

                               Once you have bloodraged the number
                                   of times shown for your bloodrager level
                                 in the Bloodrages column of the
                           Bloodrager table, you must finish a long rest
                      before you can bloodrage again.

                  While bloodraging, you are not able to cast or
                   concentrate on spells except for bloodrager spells.

Spellcasting

            At 2nd level, your bloodline powers manifest the ability
     to perform magic spells.

Spell Slots

The Bloodrager table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your bloodrager spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You learn two 1st-level spells of your choice from the bloodrager spell list. Each time you gain a Bloodrager Level, you may learn one bloodrager spell and replace one of the bloodrager spells you know with another spell of your choice from the bloodrager spell list. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Bloodrager table.

Dragon Ancestor

At 1st level, you choose the color of dragon that bestowed magic on your bloodline. You gain a draconic element that is the damage type corresponding to your color choice on the following chart.

Dragon	Damage Type
Black	Acid
Blue	Lightning
Brass	Fire
Bronze	Lightning
Copper	Acid
Gold	Fire
Green	Poison
Red	Fire
Silver	Cold
White	Cold

When you deal extra damage with your bloodrage die, you may choose to change its damage to your
                              draconic element.

Draconic Resistance

At 1st level, your draconic bloodline grants you increased resilience. You have a sheen of dragon scales covering portions of your body that grant you a +1 bonus to AC. This bonus increases to +2 at bloodrager level 14.

Elemental Purity

At 6th level, you have a deepened bond with your draconic element. You gain resistance to that damage type. In addition, when you deal damage that is your draconic element, you may choose to treat a creature's immunity to that damage type as resistance instead.

Breath Weapon

At 10th level, you learn to breathe the elements like a dragon. Once during each bloodrage, you may replace one of your attacks with a breath weapon attack.

When you do so, you breathe a 20 ft. cone of your draconic element. All creatures in the area of your breath weapon must make a dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature takes 8d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much on a success.

Dragon Wings

At 14th level, when you begin a bloodrage, you may choose to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed plus 10 ft. They last for one minute, until you become unconscious, or until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.

Dragon's Magesty

At 18th level, you can bring the full might of a dragon to bear against your enemies. Once per long rest, when you begin a bloodrage, you may choose to take the form of a dragon of your draconic color. You remain in this form until you become unconscious or your bloodrage ends.

In your dragon form, your creature type is dragon, your
      size becomes large, you become immune to your draconic
                           element, your draconic resistance AC bonus
                             increases to +3, and you gain the benefits of
                               your dragon wings until you leave the form.

                                            In addition, you gain two claw
                                           attacks and one bite attack, which
                                             count as melee weapon attacks
                                                 using strength that you are
                                                     proficient in. You may perform
                                                     all three as your attack action
                                                   on your turn. Your claw attacks
                                                 deal slashing damage equal 1d8
                                                  + your Strength modifier and
                                                    your bite attack deals piercing
                                                     damage equal to 1d12 + your
                                                       Strength modifier.

Elemental Plane

At 1st level, you choose the elemental plane from which your power is derived. You gain an intrinsic element that is the damage type corresponding to your choice on the following chart.

When you deal extra damage with your bloodrage die, you may choose to change its damage to your intrinsic element.

Elemental Strikes

At 1st level, once per long rest when you bloodrage, you may choose to empower your attacks with elemental energy. When you do so, for the next minute, you may add extra damage equal to your charisma modifier to melee attacks you perform. The damage type is your intrinsic element. You may perform this feature twice per long rest starting at bloodrager level 14.

Elemental Purity

At 6th level, you have a deepened bond with your intrinsic element. You gain resistance to that damage type. In addition, when you deal damage that is your intrinsic element, you may choose to treat a creature's immunity to that damage type as resistance instead.

Powerful Surge

At 10th level, you can focus your rage into a torrent of elemental energy. While bloodraging, you may replace one of your attacks with a surge of elemental energy in a 10ft. radius centered on yourself. All other creatures in the area must make a dexterity saving throw against your spells save DC. Creatures take 12d6 damage of your intrinsic element on a failure or half as much on a success.

Once you have used this feature, you may not do so again until you have completed a long or short rest.

Energetic Form

At 14th level, the elemental plane to which your blood is bound bestows magical changes to your form. You gain the following change to your movement according to the following chart.

Fey Bloodline

At some point, your bloodline merged with the essence of the feywild, perhaps through a blessing or curse from a powerful fey creature. Fey bloodragers can use feywild energies to confuse and enchant those around them, and command natural powers to do their bidding.

Sylvan Blood

At 1st level, when you deal extra damage with your bloodrage die, you may choose to change its damage type to psychic.

Fey Trickery

At 1st level, your attacks afflict your enemies both physically and mentally. Once per round, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you may inflict the charmed or frightened condition on that creature until the beginning of your next turn.

After a creature has been affected by this feature, it is immune to the ability for 24 hours.

Land's Stride

                                        At 6th level, you instinctively pass
                                       through the harshest terrain without
                                      issue. Moving through nonmagical
                                        difficult terrain costs you no extra
                                        movement. You can also pass through
                                      nonmagical plants without being
                                        slowed by them and without taking
                                        damage from them if they have thorns,
                                        spines, or a similar hazard.

                                In addition, you have advantage on
                            saving throws against plants that are
                            magically created or manipulated to impede
                          movement, such those created by the
                         entangle spell.

Raging Overgrowth

                        At 10th level, the forces of nature respond to the
                      power of your blood. Once per long rest, when
                  you begin a bloodrage, you may target a number of
               creatures you can see equal to your charisma
             modifier as part of that same bonus action.

   Targeted creatures must succeed a strength saving throw
   against your spell save DC, or become restrained in magical roots and plants. Restrained creatures may use their action to make a strength check against your spell save DC to escape. This feature has no effect against creatures that are currently flying or are otherwise at least 5 ft. away from the ground.

One with Nature

At 14th level, your bloodline earns you the friendship of plants and animals. Unless magically compelled, beast and plant creatures will not attack you or target you with harmful abilities or magical effects unless you first attack or otherwise harm them.

Additionally, a number of times per long rest equal to your charisma modifier, you may transport yourself between two trees of the same type within 500 ft. as part of your movement, as if using the tree stride spell.

Sylvan Trance

At 18th level, you can summon the powers of the feywild into your being, becoming at once beguiling and yet horrifying. Once per long rest, when you begin a bloodrage, you may choose to take on your fey form. You remain in this form until you become unconscious or your bloodrage ends.

In your fey form, your creature type is fey, and you are immune to the charmed and frightened conditions.

Additionally, when you use your fey trickery feature to inflict the charmed or frightened condition, the targeted creature is also entranced. An entranced creature may not perform reactions. In addition, at the beginning of each of its turns, an entranced creature must make a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, the creature does nothing and its turn ends. On a success, the creature is no longer entranced. Creatures that are immune to the charmed condition are immune to being entranced.

Chaotic Blood

At 1st level, your blood imbues you with dark powers from the abyss. Choose fire, cold, or lightning. The chosen damage type becomes your demonic element. When you deal extra damage with your bloodrage die, you may choose to change its damage type to your demonic element.

Horrific Claws

At 1st level, when you bloodrage, you may choose to transform your arms and hands into a set of inhuman claws as part of that same bonus action. These claws are treated as melee weapons using strength and deal 1d8 + your Strength modifier slashing damage.

When you take the attack action on your turn and only attack with your claws, you may use your bonus action to make one additional claw attack, adding your strength modifier to the damage as normal.

Abyssal Resistance

At 6th level, your demonic blood offers enhanced durability
  to your mortal frame. You gain resistance
     to poison and to your
       demonic element.

Demonic Aura

At 10th level, you carry an unnerving presence about you, subtly breaking the will of your foes. Hostile creatures within 10 ft. of you suffer a penalty to saving throws equal to your charisma modifier.

Fiend Wings

At 14th level, when you begin a bloodrage, you may choose to sprout a pair of demon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed plus 10 ft. They last for one minute, until you become unconscious, or until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.

Abyssal Form

At 18th level, you take on the true, horrible form inherited from your demonic ancestry. Once per long rest, when you begin a bloodrage, you may choose to take on your demon form. You remain in this form until you become unconscious or your bloodrage ends.

In your demon form, your size becomes large, your creature type is fiend, and you are immune to your demonic element. Additionally, the damage of your claw attacks increases to 1d12 + your strength modifier.

In this form, your demonic aura extends to 30ft. When a creature begins its turn within your demonic aura, they must make a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or become frightened and take damage equal to 1d12 + your charisma modifier of your demonic element. They can repeat the saving throw at the beginning of each of their turns. On a
   success, they are immune to being
          frightened by your aura
                    for 24 hours.

Celestial Bloodline

You have a divine ancestry, blessed by the gods, granting you the ability to cull evil wherever it is found. At the height of their power, celestial bloodragers gain angelic abilities to protect themselves and their allies from dark forces.

Guide from Evil

At 6th level, your holy blood holds a natural inclination towards good and disdain for evil. You may cast the spell Detect Evil and Good a number of times per long rest equal to your charisma modifier (minimum of 1). In addition, you gain resistance to radiant damage.

Sacred Aura

                   At 10th level, your divine heritage grants you
               immense protection against creatures of unholy
          origin. Whenever you are bloodraging, you are under
    the effect of the spell Protection from Evil and Good.

Angelic Wings

At 14th level, when you begin a bloodrage, you may choose to sprout a pair of angelic wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed plus 10 ft. They last for one minute, until you become unconscious, or until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.

Divine Being

At 18th level, your divine heritage allows you to temporarily take on an angelic form. Once per long rest, when you begin a bloodrage, you may choose to take on your angelic form. You remain in this form until you become unconscious or your bloodrage ends.

In your angelic form, your creature type is celestial, you are immune to radiant and resistant to necrotic damage, and your attacks and damaging spells deal an additional 2d8 radiant damage.

In addition, while in your angelic form you are always under the effect of the spell Detect Evil and Good, and all allies within 30 ft. are under the effect of Protection from Evil and Good.

Touch of Death

At 1st level, negative energy directly harms your target's life essence. When you deal extra damage with your bloodrage die, you may choose to change its damage type to necrotic.

Lifedrain

At 1st level, your attacks steal the life force of your enemies. Once per round, when you deal damage with your bloodrage die, you heal a number of hit points equal to the damage dealt.

In addition, enemies damaged by your bloodrage die can
                                   not regain hit points until the beginning
                                                 of your next turn.

Undying Vitality

At 6th level, your life force is bolstered by unnatural vitality. You have resistance to necrotic damage and your hit point maximum can not be reduced.

Omens of the Dead

At 10th level, you can unleash an aura of necrotic energy causing hostile creatures to have disturbing visions. Once per short rest, you can use your action to make all creatures of your choice, within a 20ft. radius of yourself, make a wisdom saving throw. On a failure, that creature has visions of their own or a loved one's death causing them to be stunned until the beginning of your next turn.

Incorporeal Form

At 14th level, your connection to undeath allows you to temporarily shed the shackles of your physical form. When you use this feature, you and your held equipment become incorporeal until the beginning of your next turn. During this time, you can pass through solid objects as if they were difficult terrain, and are resistant to all nonmagical damage.
        You may use this feature number of times per long rest
            equal to your charisma modifier.

          If you occupy the same spot as a solid object or
                    creature when your incorporeal form ends, you
                       are immediately shunted to the nearest
                          unoccupied space that you can occupy and
                          take force damage equal to twice the number
                                  of feet you are moved.

Harbinger of Undeath

                                       At 18th level, you are as much alive as
                                       you are undead allowing you to enter a
                                         state of partial-life and infusing those
                                       around you with the energy of undeath.
                                     Once per long rest, when you begin a
                                   bloodrage, you may choose to take on
                                   your undead form. You remain in this
                                   form until you become unconscious or
                                  your bloodrage ends.

                               In your undead form, you are under the
                                   effect of your incorporeal form feature,
                                      you have immunity to nonmagical
                                          bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing
                                             damage, and you deal an extra 2d8
                                           necrotic damage with every attack
                                          and damaging spell.

                                      In addition, while in your undead
                                          form, allies within 30 ft. have
                                        advantage on death saving throws, and
                                      any small or medium creature (not
                                       including undead or constructs) that
                                         dies within 30 ft. of you becomes a
                                         specter (your DM has the statistics)
                                         that raises at the beginning of your
                                             next turn, acts on your initiative,
                                                 and attacks the nearest hostile
                                                   creature. Your raised specters
                                                 cease to exist when your
                                                bloodrage ends.

Forceful Power

At 1st level, your melee strikes are infused with raw magical power. When you deal extra damage with your bloodrage die, you may choose to change its damage type to force.

Arcane Sanctuary

At 1st level, your blood connection to the weave allows you to protect yourself from harmful magic. Once per short rest, when you fail a saving throw against a magical spell or effect you may choose to succeed instead.

Spell Flexibility

At 6th level, the essence of magic permeating your being gives you more flexibility over your casting. You can learn one spell from any class list. Spells gained from this feature count as bloodrager spells for you and must be of a level for which
                                         you have spell slots. You learn one
                                             more such spell at levels
                                                           10 and 14.

Unchained Power

At 10th level, your blood commands the weave, imbuing your spells with heightened power. While bloodraging, when you expend a spell slot to cast a spell, you may choose to cast the chosen spell at one level higher than the spell slot used.

The spell slot used must still be equal to or greater than the base level of the spell. For example, you cannot cast Hold Monster with a 4th level spell slot using this feature.

Arcane Travel

At 14th level, your physical form becomes more closely tied to magical energy. As a bonus action, you may expend any level spell slot to cast misty step.

In addition, when you use a bonus action to begin a bloodrage you may choose to teleport up to 30 ft. as part of that same bonus action, without expending a spell slot.

Caster Bane

At 18th level, your bloodrages can disrupt the weave of magic around you. Once per long rest, when you bloodrage you may choose to create a 10 ft. radius antimagic field centered on yourself. This field lasts until your bloodrage ends and requires your concentration to maintain.

This field has the same properties as a field created with the spell Antimagic Field. The one exception is that your own
      bloodrager spells still function as normal
                                 within the field.

Divine Curse

Although the gods work through many agents, perhaps none is more mysterious than the oracle. These divine vessels are granted power without their choice, selected by providence to wield powers that even they do not fully understand. This power comes at a cost, however, and their body and spirit are irreparably cursed. Unlike a cleric, who draws magic through devotion to a deity, oracles garner strength and power from many sources, namely those patron deities who support their ideals. Instead of worshiping a single source, oracles tend to venerate all of the gods that share their beliefs. While some see the powers of the oracle as a gift, others view them as a curse, changing the life of the chosen in unforeseen ways.

Mystery Seekers

Oracles are a rare sight in civilized society as their curse and strange powers make it difficult to live an ordinary life. At best, oracles are revered as blessed individuals, looked
up to for their divine abilities. At worst, they are feared
and cast out by those who don't trust their cursed
state.

Oracles do not usually associate with any one
church or temple, instead preferring to strike out on
their own, or with a small group of like-minded
individuals. They typically use their spells and
revelations to further their understanding of their
mystery, be it through fighting mighty battles, tending
to the poor and sick, or uncovering lost lore. In an adventuring party, oracles provide a powerful
connection to a variety of divine sources to
support their allies and afflict their foes.

Creating an Oracle

To create an oracle, look at your choices in the Oracle Curses section and consider the relationship between your curse and your magical abilities. Does same power that fuels your spells also overwhelm and debilitate your physical body? Or instead, perhaps you are under obligation to a divine being or pantheon of beings and they maintain the curse to exert some control?

Determine your mystery and why you are pursuing that particular knowledge. Does it relate to your curse or do you have some other personal stake in acquiring that knowledge? Or maybe you have always been infatuated with your chosen mystery independent of becoming an oracle?

Lastly, determine why you have chosen the life of an adventurer? Will it get you closer to your goal of obtaining knowledge about your mystery? Were you ostracized by your homeland and forced to follow a transient life? Or did you find it difficult to keep your magic dormant and needed an outlet for your divine power?

Quick Build

You can make an oracle quickly by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the acolyte background and the clouded curse. Third, choose the guidance, light, and toll the dead cantrips,
along with the 1st-level spells bless and
detect magic.

Class Features

As an Oracle, you gain the following class features:

Spell Slots

The Oracle table shows how many
spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st
level and higher. To cast one of these Oracle spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known of 1st Level or Higher

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the oracle spell list. The Spells Known column of the Oracle table shows when you learn more oracle spells of your choice from this feature. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots on the oracle table.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the oracle spells you know from this feature and replace it with another spell from the oracle spell list. The new spell must also be of a level for which you have spell slots on the Oracle table.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your oracle spells. 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 an oracle spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Deaf

Your sense of hearing is dull, forcing you to rely on other senses.

• Beginning at 1st level, when you cast a spell, you do so without any verbal components it normally requires.

• Beginning at 3rd level, you have advantage on perception checks that do not rely on hearing.

• At 10th level, you gain tremorsense out to 20 feet.

• At 17th level, you gain tremorsense out to 40 feet.

• At 3rd level, you gain a +1 bonus to AC as your skin thickens with aquatic scales.

• Beginning at 10th level, you have advantage on attacks rolls and enemies have disadvantage on saving throws
  against your spells and abilities while in
    rain or underwater.

• Beginning at 17th level, you gain the benefits of the freedom of movement spell while underwater, and you can breathe underwater.

Oracle Mysteries

Oracles grow their divine power as they uncover deeper knowledge about a chosen mystery. This mystery can represent dedication to one ideal, devotion to deities that support your mystery, or a natural calling to champion a cause.

Ancestor Mystery

Oracles that pursue an ancestor mystery develop a close connection to ancestral spirits. These benevolent spirits assist the oracle in a variety of ways including granting advice or protecting them from harm.

Ancestor Mystery Spells

Oracle Level	Spells
2nd	Unseen Servant, Heroism
3rd	Spiritual Weapon, Augury

9th	Telekinesis, Commune

Ancestral Weapon

                         At 2nd level, you learn the cantrip green-flame
                           blade or booming blade (your choice). In
                             addition, you learn to summon a melee
                             weapon from your ancestral history without
                           using an action. This weapon deals 1d8
                        bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage (your
                     choice) and has a 5 foot range. You may use your
                 charisma modifier on attack and damage rolls with
             the weapon, and you are considered proficient with it.

       You can summon your weapon a number of times per
        day equal to your charisma modifier. The weapon
       disappears after 1 minute, after 1 round if it leaves your
       grasp, or when you dismiss it as a bonus action.

Sacred Council

        Beginning at 6th level, as an action, you can call upon
          your ancestors to provide council. This advice grants
           you advantage on your next ability check within one
           minute. You can use this ability a number of times per
         long rest equal to your charisma modifier.

Warrior Spirit

At 10th level, you have developed a close relationship with a warrior ancestor whom you can summon to subtly guide and protect you in combat, granting you the following benefits:

• Once per short rest, when you fail a saving throw, you can choose to reroll and take the new result.
• Once per long rest, as a bonus action, you can call the warrior ancestor to protect you. For the next minute, attacks targeting you have disadvantage.

Spirit Walk

Beginning at 14th level, once per long rest, as an action, you can become incorporeal and invisible. While in this form, you can move in any direction, pass through solid objects, and are resistant to nonmagical damage, but cannot perform actions, bonus actions, or reactions. You remain in this form for up to one minute or until you use your action to end the effect.

Blood of Heroes

Beginning at 18th level, the spirits of your ancestors surround you, assisting in every strike and spell against your foes. You gain a bonus to damage rolls equal to your charisma modifier. In addition, creatures within five feet have disadvantage on saving throws to resist your spells.

Dragon Mystery Spells

Draconic Resistance

Beginning at 2nd level, like the great dragons, you are not easily harmed or injured. You gain resistance to a chosen damage type (either acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison). In addition, you have advantage on constitution saving throws against magic.

Dragon Senses

At 6th level, your senses take on a keen draconic edge. You gain darkvision with a range of 60 feet (or increase the range of your darkvision by 30 feet). In addition, you have advantage
            on perception checks involving sight.

Imbued Magic

At 10th level, the primal power of dragonkind seethes within you imbuing your magic with destructive or protective draconic energy. When you cast a non-cantrip spell, you may choose one of the two following options:

• You deal damage equal to half your oracle level (rounded down) plus your charisma modifier to one creature of your choice that is hit by the spell or in its area of effect. The damage is the type chosen for the "draconic resistance" feature.
• Choose one creature of your choice that is targeted by the spell or in its area of effect. That creature gains temporary hit points equal to half your oracle level (rounded down) plus your charisma modifier.

Dragon Wings

Beginning at 14th level, like the great dragons, you can take to the skies and terrorize opponents from above. As a bonus action, you can manifest leathery dragon wings that grant you a flying speed equal to your current speed. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action.

Draconic Presence

Beginning at 18th level, those who would oppose are struck with terror at your draconic majesty. Once per long rest, as a bonus action, you can exude an aura of awe or fear (your choice) to a distance of 60 feet. For 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were casting a concentration
                   spell), each hostile creature that starts its turn in
                        this aura must succeed on a Wisdom saving
                                    throw or be charmed (if you chose awe)
                                            or frightened (if you chose fear)
                                                                         until the aura ends.

Life Mystery

Oracles that pursue the mysteries of life itself gain the power to heal and restore themselves and allies. They become so attuned with the essence of life they can detect the presence of living creatures, prevent disease, and direct the flow of damage and healing in combat.

Health Bond

Beginning at 2nd level, as a bonus action, you may create a bond between yourself and another willing creature. At the start of your turn, if the bonded creature has taken damage since the beginning of your last turn, it heals an amount of hit points equal to half the damage taken. You then take necrotic damage equal to half the amount of hit points healed, which ignores resistance or immunity.

You may have one bond active at a time. This bond continues until you or the bonded creature are reduced to 0 hit points or you choose to end it (requires no action).

Purifying Aura

   Beginning at 6th level, allied creatures (including yourself) within 20 feet of you have advantage on saving throws to resist disease or poison.

Life Given and Taken

At 10th level, you learn to draw the life energy out of your foes and into your allies. When you heal a creature through a spell or the health bond feature, you also deal necrotic damage equal to half your oracle level (rounded down) plus your charisma modifier to all creatures of your choice within 5 feet of the healed target.

Lifesense

Beginning at 14th level, you notice and locate living and undead creatures within 30 feet, as if you had blindsense. You can distinguish which creatures are living or undead.

Healing Spirit

Beginning at 18th level, once per long rest, when you cast a spell that requires an action, you may become a beacon of pure healing energy. Once per round, while in this form, a creature that begins its turn within 5 feet of you or moves to within 5 feet of you automatically heals a number of hit points equal to 1d12 plus your charisma modifier, without requiring an action. When a creature is healed this way, you also heal the same number of hit points.

You may choose not to heal a creature, and you choose which creature (if any) is healed if there are multiple applicable targets at one time. You remain in this form for 1 minute, until you are incapacitated, or until you use a bonus action to end the effect.

Solar Mystery Spells

Blistered Caress

At 2nd level, you learn to channel the hostile, unforgiving heat of the sun into your magic. You learn the cantrip fire bolt, which does not count against your oracle cantrips known.

In addition, spells you cast of 1st level or higher deal additional fire damage equal to your charisma modifier to creatures of your choice affected by the spell.

Sungazer

Beginning at 6th level, you can study the sun and gaze upon any place light touches. Once per short rest, you may cast the spell clairvoyance, but only for visual observation and you can only place your sensor in places currently being touched by bright light.

At 10th level, you may use the spell scrying to observe a creature or location touched by bright light instead.

If a spell cast with this feature fails due to the target not being in bright light, your use of this ability is not expended.

Starlight Agility

                 Beginning at 10th level, you effortlessly weave
                      and dodge like light from a flickering flame. If
                       you move at least 15 feet in a straight line
                      during your turn, creatures have disadvantage on
                      attack rolls against you until the beginning of
                       your next turn.

Sun Stride

                          Beginning at 14th level, you can travel
                          between areas of bright light, granting you the
                                 following benefits:

• As a bonus action, you may teleport to a location with bright light, bringing along objects or a willing creature (following the requirements of the dimension door spell). You can sun stride a number of feet per long rest equal to 20 times your charisma score (not modifier).

• You gain the ability to sense locations of bright light within 100 feet.

Luminous Form

                                              Beginning at 18th level, once per
                                             long rest, you can transform your
                                             body into violently churning light as
                                            a bonus action, granting you the
                                             effects of the spell blur and causing
                                           your body to shed bright light for a
                                              range of 30 feet and dim light an
                                                   additional 30 feet.

                                                    Creatures that end their turn
                                                   within 10 feet of your luminous
                                                  form must make a constitution
                                               saving throw against your spell
                                                 save DC or be blinded for 1d4
                                             rounds. This form lasts for one
                                           minute or until you end it as a bonus
                                           action or fall unconscious.

Lunar Mystery

Individuals whose mysterious, divine powers are intimately linked to the moon, dreams, and madness, lunar oracles find inspiration and insight in lunar light.

Lunar Mystery Spells

Oracle Level	Spells
2nd	Sleep, Hideous Laughter
3rd	Moonbeam, Augury
5th	Enemies Abound, Crown of Madness
7th	Confusion, Divination
9th	Dream, Commune

Touch of Mania

                              Beginning at 2nd level, through subtle
                             enchantment, your spells seem particularly
                             effective to your allies but only in their mind.
                             Once per round, when you cast a spell, you
                               may choose a creature that was targeted by
                                 the spell or in its area of effect. That
                                  creature gains a number of temporary
                                  hitpoints equal to twice the spell's level. If
                               the spell deals damage, the temporary hit
                             points are applied after the damage is taken.
                             These temporary hit points expire after 1
                           minute.

                     Only one creature may benefit from these
                        temporary hit points at a time. If you grant
                        temporary hit points to a second creature, the
                         first loses theirs.

Nocturnal Companion

                                   At 6th level, you gain the service of a
                                   faithful animal of the night. As an action,
                                 you can cast the spell find familiar without
                              material components to summon this
                            companion, which takes the form of a
                          nocturnal animal (your choice upon casting),
                         has the stats of a creature of your choice in the
                       find familiar spell, and is fey.

                 As an action, when your familiar is in dim light or
                       darkness, you can cause it to become invisible.
                     The invisibility lasts until the familiar enters an
                     area of bright light. Your familiar has proficiency
                    in stealth checks and uses your charisma modifier
                   for them in place of dexterity.

Moonlight Mantle

         Beginning at 10th level, like the moon itself, you
       illusively reflect light to illude your foes. Once per short
     rest, as a bonus action, you can cause the effects of the mirror image spell on a willing creature that you can see, without expending a spell slot or requiring concentration.

Moonlit Script

Beginning at 14th level, during each long rest, while you sleep or trance, your hands produce mysterious writing that pertains to the future. This takes the form of a divination spell with two available questions. Both questions are asked before an answer to either has been received.

Lunacy

Beginning at 18th level, your spells carry with them the taint of madness. Once per round, when you cast a non-cantrip spell, you may choose one creature that was hit by the spell or in its area of effect to make a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. If a creature fails a saving throw to resist the spell, it automatically fails this wisdom saving throw.

On a failed save, that creature suffers the effects of the confusion spell and may attempt a wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end the effect. On a successful save to resist or end the effect, the creature is immune to this ability for 24 hours.

Bone Mystery Spells

Undead Servant

At 2nd level, you animate a humanoid corpse with undeath to serve you. This servant grows in power as you do. If your servant dies, you can spend your downtime during a long rest to reanimate it. Your servant is dismissed if you die.

Your undead servant uses the stat block on this page, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

In combat, the undead servant shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. Unless commanded otherwise, the servant approaches and attacks the nearest hostile creature that it has a clear path to (if two or more enemies are an equal distance away, you choose which your servant approaches).

You may use your bonus action to mentally command the servant to perform a different simple task, such as attacking a different target, taking the dodge action, dashing in a certain direction, or following you or another creature.

Voice of the Grave

Beginning at 6th level, once per long rest, you can use your action to cast the spell Speak With Dead without expending a spell slot. When cast this way, you may ask a number of questions equal to your charisma modifier.

Armor of Bones

Beginning at 10th level, you can use the bones of a dead medium or larger creature to conjure bone armor onto your body as an action. Bone armor has the same characteristics as scale mail, but counts as light armor for the purposes of proficiency, does not give disadvantage to stealth checks, and weighs 15 pounds. When removed, this armor falls apart into the original set of bones used in its creation.

Lifesense

Beginning at 14th level, you notice and locate living and undead creatures within 30 feet, as if you had blindsense. You can distinguish which creatures are living or undead.

Champion of the Undead

Beginning at 18th level, you can have two undead servants animated at a time. The servants continue to take their turn immediately following yours and you choose which servant acts first. When you use your bonus action to mentally command them, you can give each separate commands.

In addition, creatures can be frightened by
your undead servants' touch of death
attack even if they are
immune to the
frightened
condition.

Winter Mystery Spells

Snow Flurry

At 2nd level, your learn to manipulate cold and snow. You learn the cantrip ray of frost, which does not count against your oracle cantrips known.

In addition, once per round, when you target a creature with a spell, you may choose to create a flurry of snow around them that lasts until the beginning of your next turn. Creatures affected by the snow flurry are lightly obscured, and ranged attacks against those
creatures are made with
disadvantage.

Commune with Winter

At 6th level, you learn to draw knowledge and insight from snowfall and ice. Once per long rest, in icy or snowy terrain, you may cast the spell commune with nature as an action without expending a spell slot. You may alternatively perform this feature in other terrain types, but you only learn one fact of your choice from those listed in the spell.

Icy Armor

Beginning at 10th level, you can freeze water around yourself to gain a layer of icy protection. Once per long rest, as an action, you can summon this ice armor which can be worn on top of regular armor and lasts for 1 hour. While wearing the armor, you gain a +2 bonus to AC and resistance to fire damage.

If you take at least 20 points of fire damage at one time (before resistance), the armor melts and must be recreated to receive its benefits again. You still have resistance to the instance of fire damage that melted it.

Blizzard Soul

At 14th level, you become one with cold and winter, granting you the following benefits:

• Both magical and nonmagical fog, clouds, sleet, rain, snow, etc. do not obscure or block your sight.
• You gain resistance to cold damage.
• You do not suffer any negative effects caused by a cold environment.

Freezing Magic

At 18th level, your wintry magic becomes extremely cold and
  debilitating. When a creature fails a saving throw against
  one of your spells that deals cold damage, it automatically
    suffers the effects of the slow spell until the beginning of
        your next turn.

          Similarly, when you hit a creature with a spell that
                  deals cold damage, that creature must make a
                       constitution saving throw against your spell
                               save DC. On a failure, the creature
                                                   experiences the same slowing
                                                      effects until the beginning of
                                                              your next turn.

Opportunistic Bruisers

Deadly even with nothing in their hands, brawlers eschew using the fighter’s heavy armor and the monk’s mysticism, focusing instead on perfecting styles of brutal unarmed combat. Versatile, agile, and able to adapt to all kinds of attacks, a brawler’s body is a powerful weapon.

Brawlers use every opportunity in combat to gain the upper hand, grabbing and throwing their foes when caught off-balance and swiftly dispatching them when their defenses falter. Skilled brawlers control the battlefield, maneuvering their foes right where they want them and pinning them down with ease.

Rolling with the Punches

Not every tavern drunk that throws a punch is a brawler. Brawlers are those who have honed their ability to fight, ignore pain when they take a hit, and expertly control their foes in battle. They include those skilled in methods of unconventional combat, and are often bodyguards,
bouncers, and street fighters.

A brawler's experience in unorthodox fighting makes
them a natural fit for the surprises often faced by adventurers. Brawlers are strong, maneuverable, and adaptable, able to protect their allies by enduring blows
and impeding the most threatening foes.

Creating a Brawler

To create your brawler, first consider how you first learned to fight. Did you teach yourself or was there someone who mentored you in brawling? Also consider why you first learned to brawl. Was it to protect yourself on the street or to earn some extra gold through fighting rings? Maybe you were seeking revenge against someone who wronged you or a loved one.

Although you don’t gain features from your brawling forte until you reach 3rd level, plan ahead for that choice by reading the forte descriptions at the end of the class and consider what techniques your brawler employs. Are you particularly skilled at controlling groups of enemies, breaking through enemy armor and shields, or simply being an impenetrable wall of strength and steel?

Lastly, what caused you to apply your unconventional fighting skills to adventuring? Was it simply the most promising option for more gold or were you seeking more exotic experiences that couldn't be found in your local circles? Perhaps you were forced out of your familiar life and onto the road by some rival or foe.

Quick Build

You can make a brawler quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Strength your highest ability score, followed by Constitution (or Charisma if you plan on choosing the victor forte).
Second, choose the folk
hero background.

Class Features

As a Brawler, you gain the following class features:

Brawling

At 1st level, you know how to use your fists and whatever else is available in combat. You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only one melee weapon:

• You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strikes and other melee attacks. This die changes as you gain brawler levels, as shown in the Brawl Die column of the Brawler table.
• When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or melee weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.
• Your proficiency modifier is doubled for athletics checks used in ability score contests.

Dirty Fighting

At 2nd level, you learn to take advantage of any opportunity your opponents give you. You have a number of cheap shots available according to the Cheap Shots column of the Brawler Table. You regain all expended cheap shots when you complete a short or long rest.

When you use the attack action to hit an opponent with a melee attack, you may expend a cheap shot to attempt to shove, grapple, or disarm the target as part of the same attack.

                                                     Depending on your choice
                                               of brawler forte, you may gain
                                             multiple features that allow you to
                      modify an attack by spending cheap shots. Only
         one such feature may modify each attack. For example, if you use the wide swing feature from the bouncer forte, you may not spend additional cheap shots to grapple with those attacks.

Fast Movement

Starting at 2nd level, you are light on your feet. Your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren’t wearing heavy armor or a shield.

Brawling Forte

At 3rd level, you gain a forte representing your personal talents and brawling techniques. The forte you choose grants you features at levels 3, 6, 10, 14, and 18.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.

Charge

At 3rd level, you've developed a staggering charging technique. You may attempt to charge a creature by moving at least 15 feet in a straight line into their space and expending one cheap shot. You make an athletics check contested by the creature's athletics or acrobatics check (their choice). The creature must be no more than one size larger than you.

If you succeed, you push the creature back 5 feet. In addition, you may push them 5 additional feet for every 5 points your check is greater than theirs. If you move the creature any additional distance, you move with them so that you remain within 5 feet. If you fail or tie, you move 5 feet
               back to where you were before you moved into
                             the creature's space.

Intimidating Technique

Beginning at 3rd level, your fighting technique and intense demeanor alarm those around you. You gain proficiency in intimidation (or another brawler class skill if already proficient) and can use strength for intimidation checks.

Eager Combatant

Beginning at 6th level, you are always ready and itching for a fight. You have advantage on initiative rolls.

Bull Rush

At 10th level, you charge with such ferocity that your opponents can't stay on their feet. When you successfully push a creature with a charge, you can spend an additional cheap shot to automatically knock them prone.

In addition, you can now charge creatures up to two sizes larger than you.

Charging Strike

Beginning at 14th level, after attempting to charge a creature, if your next attack during the same turn hits that creature, the attack deals an extra two brawl die in damage.

Living Avalanche

Beginning at 18th level, once per round, when you successfully push a creature with charge, you may spend two cheap shots to stun that creature until the beginning of your
                            next turn. In addition, you can charge any
                                         creature regardless of size.

Bouncer

Bouncers are adept at subduing multiple foes at once and employ techniques to control crowds. Powerful bouncers can even knock entire groups down with a single blow.

Bouncer's Interruption

At 14th level, you learn to stop enemies in their tracks when they try to get around you. Whenever a creature moves to a space within 5 feet of you, you may use your reaction and expend one cheap shot to make a melee attack targeting that creature. If you hit, the creature must make a strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier). On a failure, their speed is reduced to 0 until the end of their next turn.

Toppling Bash

   Beginning at 18th level, when you use the wide swing or
     unyielding swing features, you may spend an additional
             two cheap shots. When you do so, creatures that are
                 hit by your attack must make a strength saving
                     throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
                             Strength modifier). On a failure, the creature
                                                                            is knocked prone.

Pinning Strike

At 3rd level, you learn to use your weapons to pin your enemies in place. Once per round, when you target a creature with a melee or thrown weapon that deals piercing damage and before you roll to hit, you may choose to spend one cheap shot to attempt to perform a pinning strike. On a hit, your attack deals no damage, but the target is restrained. The targeted creature must be no more than one size larger than you.

Your weapon is used to restrain the target and can be removed as an action by making a strength check (DC 10). On a success, the creature is no longer restrained. While your weapon is restraining a target, it cannot be used for other attacks.

Trained Fighter

At 3rd level, you have trained to fight with conventional arms, though you retain your unorthodox style. You gain proficiency in tridents, short swords, nets, and shields.

Combat Performer

     At 6th level, your fighting style becomes a sight to behold.
  You gain proficiency in performance (or another brawler class skill if already proficient).

In addition, when you hit a creature with a melee attack, you may expend a cheap shot to grant a conscious creature you can see a number of temporary hit points equal to one roll of your brawl die + your proficiency modifier.

Piercing Strike

Beginning at 10th level, you may spend an additional cheap shot when using the pinning strike feature. When you do so, your attack deals half damage (rounded down) instead of none.

In addition, you can now use pinning strike on creatures up to two sizes larger than you.

Crowd Pleaser

At 14th level, your attacks become envigorating to your allies and other onlookers. When you use the combat performer feature to grant temporary hit points, you may spend an additional cheap shot to instead choose a number of creatures you can see up to your proficiency bonus. Each creature gains the temporary hit points.

Masterful Pierce

Beginning at 18th level, when you use the piercing strike feature, your attack deals its full damage instead of half. In addition, you can now use pinning strike on any creature regardless of size.

Steelbreaker

Masters of taking down heavily-armored knights and beasts with thick hide, steelbreakers specialize in tearing down defenses. Ripping or crushing even the thickest armor, these brawlers leave their foes completely vulnerable.

Rend Armor

At 3rd level, you develop a technique to puncture, tear off, smash, or otherwise destroy armor. Once per round, when you hit a creature with a melee attack, you may expend one cheap shot to reduce their AC by 2.

This feature works against natural or worn armor. Each creature can only be affected by this feature once, and a creature's AC can only be reduced to a minimum of 10 + their dexterity modifier. In addition, this feature, as well as "deep rend" and "great rend", do not destroy magical armor or shields, but can still reduce the AC of creature's wearing magic armor if they have other sources of AC that can be rent, such as nonmagical or natural armor.

Anti-Armor Implements

                                              At 3rd level, you expand your
                                           knowledge of weaponry used to tear
                                            apart defenses. You gain proficiency
                                           in martial weapons.

Defensive Insight

                                        At 6th level, you learn to quickly
                                         identify your opponents defenses so
                                         you can tear them down. Once per
                                             round, you can identify a creature's
                                            AC and the components of their AC
                                            (no action required). For example,
                                              you can learn that a wild creature
                                               has an AC of 15 from its natural
                                                armor or that a particular warrior
                                             has an AC of 20 from its plate
                                        armor and shield.

                                   It is up to the DM's discretion if a
                                       creature's source of protection is
                                       inconspicuous and unable to be
                                       discerned through this feature. For
                                       example, you might be unaware of a
                                       ring of protection or tricked by an
                                       illusion.

Deep Rend

                              Beginning at 10th level, your rends can
                        destroy armor more thoroughly. A creature can
                       be affected by your rend armor feature twice,
                     reducing their AC by 4 total.

                In addition, when you reduce a creature's AC with
                 the rend armor feature, the attack deals additional
            damage equal to one roll of your brawl die.

Sunder

  At 14th level, you expand your destructive capabilities to weapons. When a creature hits you with a melee attack, you may use your reaction and expend a cheap shot to attempt to sunder the triggering weapon. You make an athletics check contested by your opponent's athletics or acrobatics (their choice). If you win, attacks with that weapon have disadvantage until repaired or healed.

This feature works against manufactured or natural weapons, but does not work against magical weapons. In the case of natural weapons, the effects of sunder end after the affected creature completes a long rest.

Great Rend

At 18th level, your ability to rend metal and hide alike becomes terrifyingly potent. When you use the rend armor to reduce an enemy's AC a second time, you may spend one additional cheap shot to reduce the target's AC by 1 more (total reduction of 5 from both uses of rend armor).

A creature affected by great rend cannot have their AC reduced by further uses of rend armor, and a creature's AC can only be reduced to a minimum of 10 + their dexterity modifier.

Rally

Beginning at 3rd level, you encourage your allies in the midst of combat. You may use your bonus action and expend a cheap shot to allow an ally to immediately make a weapon attack or unarmed strike as a reaction. If the attack hits, it deals additional damage equal to your brawl die + your charisma modifier.

Heroic Presence

Beginning at 3rd level, you carry a heroic, confidence-inspiring presence about you. You gain proficiency in persuasion (or another brawler class skill if already proficient).

In addition, to determine your maximum hit point increase from brawler levels, you may use charisma in place of constitution.

Courageous Fighter

Beginning at 6th level, you are immutably brave, inspiring fervor in your allies. You are immune to the frightened condition.

In addition, when you hit a creature with a melee attack, you may expend a cheap shot to grant a conscious creature you can see a number of temporary hit points equal to one roll of your brawl die + your proficiency modifier.

Motivating Shout

At 10th level, you learn to imbue your allies with renewed vigor by shouting inspiration. Once per short rest, as a bonus action, you may spend two cheap shots to grant all allies you can see a bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to your charisma modifier. This bonus lasts until the beginning of your next turn.

Crowd Pleaser

At 14th level, your attacks become envigorating to your allies and other onlookers. When you use the combat performer feature to grant temporary hit points, you may spend an additional cheap shot to instead choose a number of creatures you can see up to your proficiency bonus. Each
     creature gains the temporary hit points.

Inspiring Rally

                            Beginning at 18th level, when you use the
                                      rally feature, the target creature has
                                                advantage on the attack rolls until
                                                      the end of its next turn.

Venomfist

Whether due to alchemical accident, the nature of your race, or through some other means, your attacks are infused with venom. You are able to poison your foes with a touch, leaving them weak and faltering.

Poisoned Blood

Beginning at 6th level, the venom coursing through your body grants you resistance to poison damage and immunity to the poisoned condition.

Toxins

At 10th level, your venom becomes particularly impairing. When you use the venom strike feature, you may spend an additional cheap shot to make the target creature poisoned. At the end of each of its turns, a poisoned creature may attempt a constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a success, the creature is no longer poisoned.

Flowing Blight

Beginning at 14th level, your toxins weaken your opponents. Creatures that are poisoned by your "toxins" feature deal half damage on attacks that use strength.

Paralyzing Venom

At 18th level, your venom becomes extremely deadly. Once per round, when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you may spend two cheap shots to attempt to paralyze the target creature. The creature must make a constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failure, the creature is paralyzed until the beginning of your next turn.

Armor Deflection

At 3rd level, you learn to use your armor to preemptively knock aside blows before they would have hit you. When you are the target of a melee attack from a creature you can see, you may use your reaction and spend one cheap shot to
     reduce their attack roll by one roll of your brawl die. You
                   must be wearing medium or heavy armor to use
                                                                             this feature.

Heavy Brawler

At 3rd level, when you choose this forte, you learn to wear heavy armor without inhibiting your brawling techniques, granting you the following benefits:

• You have proficiency in heavy armor
• You can benefit from the "fast movement" feature while wearing heavy armor.

Steady Stance

Beginning at 6th level, at the end of each of your turns, if you have moved 15 feet or less, you are immune to being knocked prone or moved against your will (you can still be teleported) until the beginning of your next turn.

Brutish Durability

       At 10th level, you become exceptionally adept at resisting
        physical threats. When you fail a strength, dexterity, or
          constitution saving throw, you may expend a cheap shot
             to add one roll of your brawl die to the result.

Living Bulwark

                       At 14th level, you learn a technique to form a
                       blockade of just you and your armor by setting
                        your stance and preparing for enemies to
                        advance. On your turn, you may spend 20 feet
                         of movement and expend one cheap shot to
                              become a living bulwark until the beginning
                                 of your next turn. Your living bulwark form
                                 ends if you move, are forced out of your
                                current position, or are grappled, prone,
                              restrained, or incapacitated.

                           While you are a living bulwark, when a
                              creature starts their turn within 5 feet of you
                            or moves to within 5 feet of you, you may
                           force them to make an athletics or acrobatics
                            check (their choice, DC = 8 + your proficiency
                             bonus + your Strength modifier). On a
                                 failure, their speed is reduced to 0 until
                                     the beginning of their next turn.

Forceful Deflection

                                        At 18th level, you brutishly counter
                                      those who dare strike you. When you
                                     use the armor deflection feature to
                                     successfully prevent an attack that
                                    would have hit you, you may spend an
                                    additional two cheap shots. When you do
                                  so, the creature that attacked you must
                                      make a constitution saving throw (DC =
                                          8 + your proficiency bonus + your
                                          Strength modifier). On a failure, that
                                        creature is stunned until the end of
                                      their next turn.

Extraplanar Bond

While many who dabble in the arcane become adept at beckoning monsters from the farthest reaches of the planes, none are more skilled at it than the summoner. Each summoner has developed a particularly strong magical connection to one of the planes of existence. From the energies of this plane, the summoner creates a creature, known as an eidolon, which serves it's summoner and gains power as the summoner's skills grow. Over time, eidolon and summoner become linked, eventually even sharing a shard of the same soul.

Arcane Companion

Summoners typically spend their time exploring their arcane
power alongside their eidolons. While summoners attain mastery of their magic, they also rely heavily on their eidolon companions in dangerous situations. Though a summoner and their eidolon function as individuals, their true power
lies in what they can accomplish together as they become an inseparable and deadly team.
    Those who form a close bond with an extraplanar being rarely lead a quiet, simple life. Summoners frequently seek out increased knowledge about their bonded plane and
the nature of their companion. This often leads them
to set out on dangerous adventures to ancient ruins
and foreign lands where they must use their magical
power and the strength of their eidolon to pull through.

Creating a Summoner

The first question you should consider when making a summoner is the nature of your bond to another plane of existence. Look at the summoner planar bonds available and consider what plane you have bonded to. How did you bond with this plane? Was it a magical accident, your inherited birthright, or a planned event you worked hard to achieve?
    Even more importantly, consider the appearance of your eidolon and the abilities you want it to have. Summoners use their magical power to form their eidolon as they see fit. Therefore, eidolons come in every shape and size. Look through available evolutions for your eidolon and plan for the most important ones you wish for your eidolon to obtain.
    Lastly, consider your relationship with your eidolon. Do you see each other as partners or friends, or are you in a master and servant relationship? More specifically, in battle, does your eidolon take the front line, does it stay right by your side as a loyal protector, or does it like to lie in wait to catch enemies off guard once fighting has begun? The evolutions you choose as you gain power will shape your eidolon's abilities and the role it plays.

Quick Build

You can make a summoner quickly by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Then, choose the hermit background and the dancing lights and fire bolt cantrips. Lastly, for your eidolon, select the quadruped base form with a bite attack and choose the
improved health and improved
damage evolutions.

Features

Evolutions. Your eidolon's features and statistics depend largely on the evolutions you choose. At each summoner level, you gain at least one evolution point (as shown in the Summoner table) to spend on eidolon evolutions (see the "Evolutions" section).

Ability Score Improvement. At levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 19, you can increase one of your eidolon's ability scores by 2, or you can increase two ability scores by 1.

Increases to ability scores affects the relevant saving throws, skills, attacks, hit points, AC, etc. as if the eidolon were a player character (e.g. if the eidolon's constitution modifier increases by 1, it gains a number of hit points equal to your summoner level and one more hit point at each new summoner level).

Actions

Multiattack. The eidolon makes a number of attacks depending on your summoner level (1 attack at level 1-4, up to 2 attacks at levels 5-16, and up to 3 attacks at levels 17-20). Multiattack cannot include spells.

The attacks available to your eidolon depend on its base form and evolutions. Each attack evolution you take applies to only one body part and may only be used once during an attack action. In addition, each of your eidolon's heads, arms, pairs of legs, and sets of wings may only perform one attack during an attack action.

Each attack counts as magical and uses your PB plus either the eidolon's strength or dexterity modifier to hit. On a hit, an attack deals an amount of damage according to its evolution description plus either the eidolon's strength or dexterity modifier. Unless otherwise stated, the range of each attack is 5 ft.

Spells. Some evolutions and features give your eidolon the ability to cast spells. Regardless of its form, your eidolon is able to perform the somatic and verbal components of spells it knows and can ignore material components that do not have a gold cost.

Eidolon

Beginning at 1st level, your attunement to another plane has allowed you to form an eidolon, a creature molded from the magical energies of its home plane. It is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. You and your eidolon share a mental link that allows for telepathic communication across any distance on the same plane.
    You can summon your eidolon in a ritual that takes 1 minute to perform. When summoned in this way, your eidolon's hit points are unchanged from the last time it was dismissed or banished. Your eidolon remains until you dismiss it as an action. If your eidolon is killed, it is banished to its home plane and it cannot be summoned again until you complete a long rest, which allows your eidolon to reform in its home plane and also gain the benefits of a long rest. Note that your eidolon benefits from rests and makes death saving throws like a player character. If you are killed, your eidolon is immediately banished to its home plane.
    See your eidolon's base statistics in the eidolon stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. When applicable, your eidolon's proficiency bonus equals your own. When an ability is gained at a certain level, it is referring to your summoner level.

Spellcasting

Beginning at 1st level, you cast spells by drawing upon the power of the plane of existence you have bonded with. See the summoner spell list for the spells you can learn.

Merging

As a bonus action, you may touch your eidolon to merge you and its physical forms into one body. When you do so, you and your eidolon become one creature. Your merged form continues to be affected by any ongoing spells or magical effects that were affecting either of you, including those from worn magical equipment. You become the size of your eidolon if it was larger than yourself, but otherwise you remain the same size. After the merge, you may occupy the space either you or your eidolon were in, but you must be able to fit in the chosen space with your new size.

Merged Statistics

In your merged form, your creature type is the same as your eidolon. You have access to both your own and your eidolon's senses and movement speeds. Each one of your merged form's ability scores equals either your or your eidolon's corresponding ability score, whichever is higher. In addition, you use your eidolon's hit point pool and its armor class, but you may still use the life bond feature to draw from your own hit point pool and reduce damage taken. Lastly, your merged
  form has all proficiencies that you
             or your eidolon had.

Merged
Form Actions

While merged, you and your eidolon continue to take your separate turns as normal but are now controlling the same body in tandem. Your minds and thoughts are so coordinated that you encounter no issues piloting the same form. You may use any of your normal actions including casting spells while in your merged form, but you may alternatively perform one of your eidolon's attacks or another one of its actions instead. Your eidolon acts as normal. Note that if one of your eidolon's abilities has a limited number of uses, you and your eidolon share the available uses. In addition, either you or your eidolon (not both) may choose to move using one of your merged form's speeds. Lastly, your merged form has two reactions per round; one from you and one from your eidolon, but only one can be used at a time.

Splitting

You may willingly split forms, using your bonus action, causing you and your eidolon to occupy separate spaces directly on or within 5 feet of the space(s) your merged form had occupied; if there is not enough space to split, you remain merged.

Aquatic

Aquatic eidolons begin with the head, gills, swim, and tail evolutions. In addition, choose one of the following
evolutions for your starting attack: bite, headbutt, horns,
or tail slap.
    This grants them a head, the ability to breathe
underwater indefinitely, a swim speed of 30 feet, a tail, proficiency in acrobatics, and the attack you chose.

Biped

Biped eidolons begin with the head, arms, and speed (base) evolutions. In addition, choose one of the following evolutions for your eidolon's starting attack: bite, claws, headbutt, horns, pincers, slam, or stinger.
    This grants them a head, a pair of arms, a speed of 30 ft., and the attack you chose. Here, the speed evolution represents a pair of legs that is unavailable for attacking or receiving attack evolutions.

Quadruped

Quadruped eidolons begin with the head, legs, pounce, and speed (base) evolutions. In addition, choose one of the following evolutions for your eidolon's starting attack: bite, claws, headbutt, hooves, or horns.

Winged

Winged eidolons begin with the head, skilled (acrobatics), and wings evolutions. In addition, choose one of the following evolutions for your eidolon's starting attack: bite, headbutt, horns, or wing buffet.

Reach

One of your eidolon’s attacks has a longer
range. Choose one of your eidolon’s attacks, not
including spells. The range of that attack increases by
5 feet. This evolution can be selected multiple times for the same attack depending on your eidolon’s size. A small or medium eidolon can select this evolution only once for each attack. For each size larger, your eidolon may select this evolution one more time for each attack. If your eidolon's size is reduced, its reach is temporarily reduced to the maximum available for its size (e.g. 10 feet for small/medium, 15 feet for large, etc.)
    This evolution does not count as modifying an attack for the purposes of applying other evolutions to the same attack.

Resistance

Your eidolon is particularly resistant to a specific type of damage. Choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, radiant, or thunder. Your eidolon gains resistance to that damage type.
    Each time your eidolon receives this evolution after the first, the cost increases by one evolution point.

Scent

Your eidolon’s sense of smell is extremely acute. Your eidolon has advantage on perception checks that rely on smell. In addition, your eidolon automatically detects creatures within 60 feet that have a clear path smell can travel through (e.g. not behind walls or thick doors).
    This evolution does not allow your eidolon to know the exact position of detected creatures, nor how many creatures there are. In addition, creatures cannot be detected this way if they do not produce a smell.
    You cannot select this evolution more than once.

Slippery

Your eidolon is particularly hard to
hold onto. Your eidolon has advantage
on saving throws and checks to avoid or
escape a grapple.
    You cannot select this evolution more than once.

Speed

Your eidolon becomes faster and more mobile. Choose one of your eidolon's movement speeds (its base speed or any special movement speeds it has). That speed increases by 10 feet.

Sticky

Your eidolon is especially sticky. Creatures have disadvantage on checks made to escape your eidolon’s grapple (but not the initial check to avoid being grappled).

Swim

Your eidolon has webbed hands, feet, or flippers that allow it to swim quickly. Your eidolon gains a swimming speed equal to 30 feet.
    You cannot select this evolution more than once.

Your eidolon can use its tail to slam into enemies, giving it a tail slap attack from one tail. This attack deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage and has a base range of 5 feet.

Wing Buffet

Your eidolon learns to use its wings to batter foes, giving it a wing attack from its wings. This attack deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage and has a base range of 5 feet.
    You cannot select this evolution more than once.

Elemental Attacks

One of your eidolon’s attacks becomes infused with elemental energy. Pick one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. In addition, choose one of your eidolon’s attacks. That attack deals an addition 1d4 damage of the chosen type.
    You can spend an additional evolution point to increase the damage die for the chosen element by one step (e.g. 1d4 becomes a 1d6) up to a maximum of 1d12.
    An attack modified by this evolution may not be modified by any other.

Evasion

Your eidolon learns to nimbly avoid areas of danger. When your eidolon is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage on a success, and only half damage on a failure.
    You cannot select this evolution more than once.

Arms

Your eidolon grows an additional pair of arms. Each individual arm can perform up to one attack during the attack action, but each arm requires its own attack evolutions. Arms may be given the "claws", "pincers", "slam", and "stinger" attack evolutions.

Arms can represent actual arms, tentacles, hooked graspers on wing tips, pseudopods, etc. A pair of arms allows an eidolon to grasp objects and wield weapons (with the weapon training evolution).

Blindsight

Your eidolon’s senses of the immediate area become extraordinarily acute. Your eidolon gains blindsight to
a range of 20 feet. You may spend additional
EP to increase the range of your eidolon’s
blindsense by 5 feet for each
point spent.

    Your eidolon becomes extremely resilient to an element.
    Choose an element your eidolon is resistant to. Your
   eidolon becomes immune to that element.
   Each time your eidolon receives this evolution after the
  first, the cost increases by one evolution point.

Legendary Resistance

Your eidolon is incredibly resistant to physical and magical threats. Once per long rest, if your eidolon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

You must be at least level 11 to choose this evolution, and you cannot select this evolution more than once.

Lifesense

Your eidolon can pinpoint living creatures with ease. Your eidolon notices and locates living creatures within 60 feet regardless of cover, invisibility, etc.

You must be at least level 11 to choose this evolution, and you cannot select this evolution more than once.

Shadowfell Bond

You are attuned to the shadowfell, a plane of
decay and death, that acts as a bleak counterpart
to the material plane. Eidolons formed from darkness
channel the power of death in their attacks and learn to hide themselves in shadow.

Abyssal Bond Spells

Abyssal Eidolons

Eidolons born from abyssal darkness are demons in their own right. Beginning at 1st level, your eidolon's creature type is fiend (demon).

The chaotic nature of your eidolon grants it increased damage and resistance to a particular element. Your eidolon gains the "resistance" evolution to resist either cold, fire, or lightning (your choice) and the "improved damage" evolution. These are free evolutions that cannot be removed.

Terrifying Assault
