Chapter 1: Overview

Proficiency

Every creature has a Proficiency Bonus, which is applied to any roll that it is proficient in. To have proficiency in a language, skill, tool, weapon, or armor means that you are skilled with using it. Anyone can pick up a sword, but only those trained in combat know how to wield one lethally.

If you have proficiency in a skill, tool, or weapon, you add your Proficiency Bonus to any d20 roll you make with it. Your Proficiency Bonus is 2 at 1st Level and increases as you reach specific character levels, as shown in the Experience Points table on pg. 3.

Getting Into and Out of Armor

The time it takes to don or doff armor depends on the armor’s category.

Don. This is the time it takes to put on armor. You benefit from the armor’s AC only if you take the full time to don the suit of armor.

Doff. This is the time it takes to take off armor. If you have help, reduce this time by half.

Weapons

RAW- created by WotC
Your background and class grant proficiency in certain weapons, reflecting your training and the tools you are most likely to use. Proficiency in a weapon allows you to add your Proficiency Bonus to the attack roll and damage roll for any attack you make with that weapon.

Melee weapons can be used to attack a target within 5 feet of you, while ranged weapons have disadvantage on attack rolls while a hostile creature is within 5 feet of you. Weapon attack roll and damage roll bonuses are determined by your Strength modifier (if melee) or Dexterity modifier (if ranged).

Weapon Properties

Many weapons have special properties related to their use.

Ammunition. Making an attack with a weapon that has the ammunition property requires ammunition specific to the weapon, expending one piece of ammunition each time you attack. 20 arrows or crossbow bolts cost 1 gp and weigh 1 lb. Drawing the ammunition from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack. You can recover half your expended ammunition by searching the battlefield.

Finesse. When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.

Heavy. Small creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons.

Light. When you use your action to attack using a light weapon wielded in one hand, you can use a bonus action to make an attack with a different light weapon wielded in your other hand. You do not add your ability modifier to the damage dealt by your second weapon.

Loading. Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one piece of ammunition from it when you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.

Range. A weapon that can be used to make a ranged attack has a range in parentheses after the ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers: the normal range followed by the long range, both in feet. When attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll, and miss if you already have disadvantage. You can’t attack a target beyond the weapon’s long range.

Special Weapons

Weapons with special rules are described here.

Lance. You have disadvantage when you use a lance to attack a target within 5 feet of you. Also, a lance requires two hands to wield when you aren’t mounted.

Net. A Large or smaller creature hit by a net is restrained until it is freed. A net has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success.

A net a Large object made of rope. Restoring 1 hit point to a damaged net requires 1 minute, 2 feet of rope, and either proficiency in weaver's tools or the mending spell.

When you attack with a net, you cannot attack with that net again until the start of your next turn or if it is currently restraining a creature.

Silvered Weapons

Some monsters are susceptible to silver weapons. A character with proficiency in smith's tools can can silver a single weapon or ten pieces of ammunition for 50 gp worth of powdered silver and 8 hours of work at a smithy. This service typically costs an additional 50 gp if performed by an NPC.

Tools, Mounts, Adventuring Gear

RAW- created by WotC *
Some tasks require a special set of tools, and sometimes training in those tools, to complete. Proficiency in a tool allows you to add your Proficiency Bonus to any ability check you make using that tool. Tools are not tied to a single ability, since proficiency in a tool represents broader knowledge of its use. Your DM will tell you which ability a tool will use for a given situation or task.

Mounts and Vehicles

A good mount can help you move more quickly through the wilderness, but its primary purpose is to carry the gear that would otherwise slow you down. The Mounts and Other Animals table shows each creature’s speed and base carrying capacity.

A creature pulling a carriage, cart, chariot, sled, or wagon can move weight up to five times its base carrying capacity, including the weight of the vehicle. If multiple creatures pull the same vehicle, they add their carrying capacity together.

Mounts other than those listed here are available in fantasy gaming worlds, but they are rare and not normally available for purchase. These include monstrous mounts (like an owlbear), flying mounts (pegasi, griffons, hippogriffs, and similar creatures), and even aquatic mounts (giant sea horses, for example). Acquiring such a mount often means securing an egg and raising the creature yourself, making a bargain with a powerful entity, or negotiating with the mount itself.

Adventuring Gear

This section describes miscellaneous items that may further explanation. Included are non-magical common items, equipment packs, and spellcasting foci.

The following items are described later (see Potioncrafting): acid, alchemist's fire, antitoxin, basilisk oil, holy water, poison, and potions of healing.

Other Rules

Fieldcraft

While traversing the wilderness, a character may wish to gather flora or harvest creatures to help create alchemical concoctions. To do so, certain requirements must be met.

Gathering Requirements.

Reagents

Tissue Transformation. Potioncrafting through Tissue Transformation combines a creature part and an alchemical base. Only one creature part is required for each crafting attempt. Creature parts can be bought or sold at apothecaries, but availability and price can vary.

Acid

Potion, rarity varies (nonmagical)

• Alchemical Base: sulfur / sulfur / sulfur
• Herbal Alchemy: 🜂 + 🜄 / acid x4 / acid (refined) x4
• Tissue Transformation: ankheg gullet / ooze jelly / black or copper dragon fang

Stored in a vial, acid can be used as an improvised weapon with the finesse and thrown (range 20/60) properties, shattering on impact. On a hit, the target suffers acid damage according to the Acid Vials table. If ingested, acid deals twice as much damage.

Alchemist's Fire

Potion, common (nonmagical)

• Alchemical Base: yellow phosphorus
• Herbal Alchemy: 🜂 x2
• Tissue Transformation: N/A

This sticky, adhesive fluid ignites when exposed to oxygen and can burn underwater. Stored in a vial, alchemist's fire can be used as an improvised weapon with the finesse and thrown (range 20/60) properties, shattering on impact. On a hit, the target takes 2d4 fire damage at the start of each of its turns until it uses its action and succeeds on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw to extinguish the flames.

Antitoxin

Potion, common (nonmagical)

• Alchemical Base: charcoal
• Herbal Alchemy: ☉ + 🜃
• Tissue Transformation: N/A

A creature that drinks this vial of liquid gains advantage on saving throws against poison for 1 hour, and if it is currently poisoned, it can immediately make a saving throw against that poison. Antitoxin has no effect on undead or constucts.

Basilisk Oil

Potion, rare (nonmagical)

• Alchemical Base: oil
• Herbal Alchemy: N/A
• Tissue Transformation: basilisk, gorgon, or medusa stomach

A creature can use its action to apply this oil to a petrified creature, ending the petrified condition on it.

Fate Points

Created by u/NyteShark
You can accumulate Fate Points, which allow you to bend your own fate when all else seems lost. You can gain Fate Points in three ways:

• At the beginning of each session, each player character gains one Fate Point.
• If a player brings snacks for everyone at the session, their player character gains one Fate Point.
• The DM can award a player character a Fate Point, usually after they perform a particularly adventurous or creative act or after a moment of impressive roleplay.

A Fate Point can be spent to increase any d20 roll you make by 1. You can devote multiple Fate Points at once, increasing the d20 roll appropriately.

You cannot spend Fate Points on Death Saving Throws or give Fate Points to other characters.

You can have a maximum number of Fate Points equal to five times your character level.

Hazards

RAW- created by WotC *

Hit Points and Hit Dice

Your hit point maximum increases from your new class as described for levels after 1st. You gain the 1st-level hit points for a class only when you are a 1st-level character.

Your pool of Hit Dice includes all Hit Dice granted to you from your classes. If the Hit Dice are the same die type, you can simply pool them together. If your classes give you Hit Dice of different types, keep track of them separately.

Multiclassing Class Features

When you gain a level in your new class, you get its features for that level. You don’t receive the class’s starting equipment, and a few features have additional rules when you’re multiclassing: Channel Divinity, Extra Attack, Unarmored Defense, and Spellcasting.

Objects

Created by u/NyteShark
Objects have statistics, including HP, AC, damage resistances and immunities, and hardness (the minimum damage a single instance of damage must deal in order to affect the target's HP). These are determined by the objects size and material, as shown in the Object Statistics table.

The different levels of Hit Points are associated with the object's size (Tiny/Small/Medium/Large). If an object is Huge or larger, it can instead be destroyed in sections; each section is the size of a Large object and is considered as such when receiving damage.

If an object was specifically crafted to defend against attacks, double its maximum hit points. If an object is exceptionally fragile, divide its maximum hit points by 5.

Fey'ri

The Fey'ri, also known as Demon Elves of Daemonfey, are to elves what tieflings are to humans. They are elves cursed with a demonic bloodline, whether is be due to a pact made with an entity of the Abyss that their family made generations ago, or due to a spiteful demon cursing an elf's birth. Often, a Fey'ri can be born from a normal elven family, seemingly for no reason, and some can appear as normal elves for years, sometimes even into adulthood. However, their demonic blood will eventually rear its ugly face, and any who see their demonic features will instantly know what they are.
