Adventurer

version 2.3.0

A band of fellows emerge from the stony outcropping onto rolling plains of golden grass. Worn and weary from their travels, they settle against the rocks, taking a moment to breath.

A rustling in the grass shakes the travelers out of their reverie. A bull with metal-like plating emerges, breathing green flames from its nostrils. The fellows scramble to arms, one human grabbing his mace, and an elf her staff.

Call to Adventure

Adventurers leave home as any ordinary person would, but pick up skills on the road. Initially unskilled and untrained in everything, adventurers can take the time to become experts in a single field, or otherwise diversify and become a jack of all trades.

A Life of Roaming

Adventurers often are far from home, out saving the world or doing new things.

Creating an Adventurer

Think about what your adventure requires, and adapt as necessary. Be sure your DM allows use of feats, as they are required for playing this class.

This class is not designed for multiclassing, and should not be multiclassed. This class may not be perfectly balanced against other classes, and is best run in a party consisting only of adventurers.

Quick Build

Try not to get choice paralysis. If you wish to emulate a certain class, take feats in an order that follows that classes natural progression. If you wish to emulate another fictional character, consider their abilities and try to plan out some of the key feats you may want.

Class Features

As an adventurer, you gain the following class feats.

Hit Points


  • Hit Dice: 1d8 per adventurer level
  • Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
  • Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per adventurer level after 1st

Proficiencies

You are proficient with nothing except for any proficiencies provided by your race or background.
You must pick up armor, weapon, tool, skill, and saving throw proficiencies through feats.

Equipment

You start with the equipment provided by your background, as well as 4d4 x 10 gp to buy your own equipment.

Feat

You can take a feat.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 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.

FEATS | ADVENTURER
FEATS | ADVENTURER

Reliable Skill

Prerequisite: 11th Level

Choose an ability score. For any skill check using this ability and in which you are proficient, if your total for that check is less than your chosen ability score, you can use that score in place of the total. You can select this feat multiple times. Each time you do so, you must choose a different ability score.

Superhuman Ability

Prerequisite: 20th Level

Choose an ability score which is already at 20 and increase it to 24. You can select this feat multiple times. Each time you do so, you must choose a different ability score.

Unarmored Defense

While you are not wearing light, medium, or heavy armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your choice of your Strength, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier, to a maximum of an Armor Class of 19. You choose ability the time you take this feat. You can use a shield if proficient and still gain this benefit.

Rage

In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action. While raging, you gain the following benefits:

  • You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
  • When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll.
  • You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
  • If an effect causes you to suffer levels of exhaustion, you aren't affected until your rage ends.

If you are able to cast spells, you can't cast them or concentrate on them while raging.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action. Once you have raged 2 times, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again.

You can select this feat a second time after 3rd level, a third time after 7th level, a fourth time after 11th level, and a fifth time after 15th level. Each time, you can select a damage type to also be resistant to while raging. Your bonus damage and number of rages also increase by 1, to a maximum of +6 damage and 6 rages per long rest.

Reckless Attack

You can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until the start of your next turn.

Danger Sense

Prerequisite: 2nd Level

You gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you prepare for the oncoming danger. Choose a saving throw. You have advantage on the chosen saving throw against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated. You can select this feat multiple times. Each time you do so, you must choose a different saving throw.

Brutal Critical

Prerequisite: 9th Level

You can roll one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a melee attack. You can select this feat a second time after 13th level, and a third time at 17th level.

Endless Rage

Prerequisite: Rage, 11th Level

Your rage becomes so fierce that it ends early only if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it.

Your rage can keep you fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 hit points while you're raging and don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.

Each time you use this feat after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the DC resets to 10.

Artisan Rage

Prerequisite: Rage, Proficiency with one set of artisan's tools

You have learned how to harness your rage for your craft, and how to harness your craft for combat. You become proficient in using your artisan's tools in combat. They deal 1d6 damage, of a type that is reasonable for the tool.

While raging, you have advantage on checks made with artisan's tools. Your rage doesn't end as long as you're working with your artisan tools.

Resist Death

Prerequisite: 14th Level

When you are reduced to 0 hit points and would fall unconscious, you can instead remain conscious. You still must make death saving throws, and you suffer the normal effects of taking damage while at 0 hit points. At the start of each of your turns, you gain a level of exhaustion if you at 0 hit points and conscious.

If you have the Rage feat, you do not gain the levels of exhaustion until your rage ends.

FEATS | ADVENTURER

Jack of All Trades

You can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn't already include your proficiency bonus.

Expertise

Choose two of your skill or tool proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. You can select this feat multiple times.

Assistance

You learn to instruct, guide, or inspire others through logical commands, advice or anecdotes, or stirring words or music. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one assistance die, a d6.

Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the assistance die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the assistance die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one assistance die at a time.

During a short rest, you can spend 1 assistance die to heal any friendly creatures within 60 feet by the amount rolled.

You have two assistance dice. You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Improved Assistance

Prerequisite: Assistance, 5th Level

You gain an additional assistance dice, your assistance dice turn from d6 to d8, and you regain all of your expended assistance dice when you finish a short or long rest. You can select this feat a second time after 10th level and a third time after 15th level. Each time you do so, you gain an additional assistance dice, and your assistance dice become one step larger (such as from d8s to d10s).

Hinder

Prerequisite: Assistance

You learn how to use your wit to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you can use your reaction to expend one of your assistance dice and subtract the number rolled from the creature's roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack roll or ability check succeeds or fails, or before the creature deals its damage. The creature is immune if it can't hear you or if it's immune to being charmed.

Combat Support

Prerequisite: Assistance

You learn to inspire others in battle. A creature that has a assistance die from you can roll that die and add the number rolled to a weapon damage roll it just made. Alternatively, when an attack roll is made against the creature, it can use its reaction to roll the assistance die and add the number rolled to its AC against that attack, after seeing the roll but before knowing whether it hits or misses.

Shadow Step

Prerequisite: Proficiency in Stealth, 3rd level

You gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you take the Hide action in dim light or darkness, you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. You can select this feat a second time after 14th level. When you do so, the range you can teleport to increases to 120 feet.

Shadow Strike

Prerequisite: Shadow Step, 11th Level

You gain the ability to pass between shadows in the blink of an eye. When you take the Attack action, you can teleport up to 10 feet before each attack to an unoccupied space you can see that is in dim light or darkness.

If you have the Action Surge feat, you can teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is in dim light or darkness when you use your Action Surge. You can teleport before or after the additional action.

Umbral Form

Prerequisite: Shadow Step, 18th level

As a bonus action, you can magically transform yourself into a shadowy form. In this form, you have resistance to all damage except force, you gain vulnerability to radiant damage, and you can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. You take 5 force damage if you end your turn inside an object.

You remain in this form for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you die, or if you dismiss it as a bonus action. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

FEATS | ADVENTURER

Beast Shape

You gain the ability to use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before. You can use this ability twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. You can transform into beasts of CR 1/4. The creatures cannot have a flying or swimming speed. You can stay in a beast shape for thirty minutes. You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this ability. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

  • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the creatures, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
  • When you transform, you assume the creatures's hit points. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
  • You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your new form. If your new form is capable of casting spells, you are unable to cast any of them. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell.
  • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
  • If your new form has legendary actions or legendary resistances, you cannot use them.
  • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

Sea and Sky Shape

Prerequisite: Beast Shape

You gain the ability to transform into beasts that have a swimming speed or flying speed.

Improved Beast Shape

Prerequisite: Beast Shape, 2nd Level

You gain the ability to use Beast Shape on your turn as a bonus action, rather than as an action. You can directly transform from one form to another as a bonus action. You can transform into beasts of CR 1, and can stay in beast shape for 1 hour. The beast cannot have a flying or swimming speed.

If you have the Greater Favored Enemy feat, you can transform into creatures of your favored enemy type as well as beasts.

You can select this feat a second time after 6th level, a third time after 9th level, a fourth time after 12th level a fifth time after 15th level, and a sixth time after 18th level. Each time you do so the CR of beasts you can transform into increases by 1 (such as from CR 1 to CR 2), and the duration of your beast shape increase by 1 hour.

Minor Beast Shape

Prerequisite: Improved Beast Shape

You gain the ability to transform into beasts of CR 0 without expending a use of your Beast Shape. If you select the Improved Beast Shape feat multiple times, the CR of beasts you can freely transform into increases to CR 1/8 after the second time, CR 1/4 after the third time, CR 1/2 the fourth time, CR 1 the fifth time, and CR 2 the sixth time.

If you have the Greater Favored Enemy feat, you can transform into creatures of your favored enemy type as well as beasts.

Beast Shape Mastery

Prerequisite: Improved Beast Shape, 20th Level

You gain mastery over a specific beast shape and can transform into it with little effort. Choose one of your Improved Beast Shape forms. You gain the ability to transform into that form without expending a use of your Beast Shape. If you want to transform into another beast shape, you must expend a use of Beast Shape as normal.

Hybrid Shape

Prerequisite: Minor Beast Shape

You gain the ability to take on attributes of beasts you've seen. Choose a creature from the Minor Beast Shape feat. As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Beast Shape to take on a hybrid form rather than fully transform into the creature. While in this hybrid shape you gain temporary hit points equal to the creature's hit points. These hit points last for 1 minute, and while you have these temporary hit points you gain the creature's special abilities, actions, movement, climbing, swimming, and flying speed.

FEATS | ADVENTURER

Second Wind

You learn to channel the adrenaline rush from combat to protect yourself from harm. On your turn, you can spend one Hit Die to heal yourself as a bonus action. Roll the die, add your Constitution modifier, and regain a number of hit points equal to the total (minimum of 1).

Action Surge

Prerequisite: 2nd Level

You gain the ability to push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action on top of your regular action and a possible bonus action. Once you use this ability, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. You can select this feat a second time after 17th level. When you do so, you gain another use of this ability.

Extra Attack

Prerequisite: 5th Level

To do so, you and the target must be on the same plane of existence. When you use this action, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your Ki Save DC. If it fails, it is reduced to 0 hit points. If it succeeds, it takes 10d10 necrotic damage.

You can have only one creature under the effect of this feature at a time. You can choose to end the vibrations harmlessly without using an action.

Monastic Weapon Training

Prerequisite: Martial Arts

Choose one melee and one ranged weapon that lacks the heavy and special properties. The longbow is also a valid choice. You gain proficiency with these weapons if you don't already have it. You gain the following benefits while wielding one of those weapons:

  • When you use the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 ki point to make one weapon attack as a bonus action.
  • You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls for these weapons.
  • You can use abilities granted to you by the Martial Arts feat as if you were unarmed.

If you have the Magic-Empowered Strikes feat, its benefits also extend to your chosen weapons.

Redirection

Prerequisite: Martial Arts, 6th Level

When you deflect an attack using your Martial Arts and reduce the damage to 0, you can cause that attack to target one creature of your choice, other than the attacker, that you can see within range of the attack, using the same attack roll and damage.

FEATS | ADVENTURER

Spellbook

Prerequisite: 1st-Level Spellcasting

Select a school of magic from the following list: Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, and Transmutation. You gain a spellbook containing three 1st-level spells from your chosen school. You gain the ability to use your spellbook as your spellcasting focus. Cantrips cannot be recorded in a spellbook. If you have a spellbook from another feat such as Ritual Caster, you can use the same book for both feats.

Preparing Spells. You prepare the list of spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of spells from your spellbook equal to your spellcasting modifier + your proficiency bonus (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of spells requires time spent studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Copying a Spell into the Book. When you find a spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a level you can cast and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.

For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells.

A spell scroll can be copied just as spells in spellbooks can be copied. When you copy a spell from a spell scroll, you must succeed on an Intelligence (Arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell's level. If the check succeeds, the spell is successfully copied. Whether the check succeeds or fails, the spell scroll is destroyed.

Replacing the Book. You can copy a spell from your own spellbook into another book—for example, if you want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell. If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires you to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, it may be wise to keep a backup spellbook in a safe place.

You can select this feat multiple times. Each time you do so, you must choose a different school of magic.

Arcane Ward

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Abjuration), 2nd Level

When you finish a long rest, you can create a magical ward on yourself that lasts until you finish your next a long rest. The ward starts with hit points equal to five times your spellcasting ability modifier which you chose for 1st-Level Spellcasting. If your Arcane Ward is dispelled or disabled in some other way, you must finish a long rest until you can cast it again.

Whenever you take damage, the ward takes the damage instead. If this damage reduces the ward to 0 hit points, you take any remaining damage. While the ward has 0 hit points, it can’t absorb damage, but its magic remains. Whenever you expend a spell slot to cast an abjuration spell of 1st level or higher, the ward gains a number of hit points equal to twice the level of the expended spell slot.

Projected Ward

Prerequisite: Arcane Ward, 6th Level

When a creature that you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to cause your arcane ward to absorb that damage. If this damage reduces the ward to 0 hit points, the warded creature takes any remaining damage. If you have the Aura feat, you can cause your arcane ward to absorb damage from any creature within the range of your aura without using a reaction.

Iron Ward

Prerequisite: Arcane Ward, 14th Level

Your arcane ward has resistance against damage from spells, and you have advantage on saving throws against spells while your arcane ward has 1 or more hit points.

If you have the Martial Arts feat, you gain the ability to deflect melee and ranged spell attacks using your deflect ability from the Martial Arts feat while your arcane ward has 1 or more hit points.

Counterabjuration

Prerequisite: dispel magic spell or counterspell spell, 6th Level

When you cast an abjuration spell that requires you to make an ability check as a part of casting that spell (as in counterspell and dispel magic), you add your proficiency bonus to that ability check. Additionally, you gain an additional reaction that can only be used to attempt to identify a spell being cast.

FEATS | ADVENTURER

Spell Thief

Prerequisite: dispel magic spell or counterspell spell, 17th Level

When you cast counterspell or dispel magic and successfully negate the spell, you can force the caster to make a saving throw with its spellcasting ability modifier. The DC equals your spell save DC used to cast counterspell or dispel magic. On a failed save, you steal the knowledge of the spell if it is at least 1st level and of a level you can cast. For the next 8 hours, you know the stolen spell and can cast it using your spell slots. If you use this ability again to steal another spell, you lose the ability to cast the stolen spell. The original caster can't cast the stolen spell while you know the stolen spell.

Illusory Step

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Illusion) or Acolyte: Trickery, 10th Level

You can create an illusory duplicate of yourself as an instant, almost instinctual reaction to danger. When a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to interpose the illusory duplicate between the attacker and yourself. The attack automatically misses you, then the illusion dissipates. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Illusory Reality

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Illusion) or Acolyte: Trickery, 14th Level

You have learned the secret of weaving shadow magic into your illusions to give them a semireality. When you cast an illusion spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose one inanimate, nonmagical object that is part of the illusion and make that object real. You can do this on your turn as a bonus action while the spell is ongoing. The object remains real for 1 minute. For example, you can create an illusion of a bridge over a chasm and then make it real long enough for your allies to cross. The object can't deal damage or otherwise directly harm anyone.

Minor Alchemy

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Transmutation) or Acolyte: Forge, 2nd Level

You can temporarily alter the physical properties of one nonmagical object, changing it from one substance into another. You perform a special alchemical procedure on one object composed entirely of wood, stone (but not a gemstone), iron, copper, or silver, transforming it into a different one of those materials. For each 10 minutes you spend performing the procedure, you can transform up to 1 cubic foot of material. After 1 hour, or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell), the material reverts to its original substance.

Transmuter's Stone

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Transmutation), 6th Level

You can spend 8 hours creating a transmuter's stone that stores transmutation magic. You can benefit from the stone yourself or give it to another creature. A creature gains a benefit of your choice as long as the stone is in the creature's possession. When you create the stone, choose the benefit from the following options:

  • Darkvision out to a range of 60 feet, as described in chapter 8.
  • An increase to speed of 10 feet while the creature is unencumbered.
  • Proficiency in Constitution saving throws.
  • Resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage (your choice whenever you choose this benefit).

Each time you cast a transmutation spell of 1st level or higher, you can change the effect of your stone if the stone is on your person. If you create a new transmuter's stone, the previous one ceases to function.

Philosopher's Stone

Prerequisite: Transmuter's Stone, 14th Level

You can use your action to consume the reserve of transmutation magic stored within your transmuter's stone in a single burst. When you do so, choose one of the following effects. Your transmuter's stone is destroyed and can't be remade until you finish a long rest.

  • Major Transformation. You can transmute one nonmagical object (no larger than a 5-foot cube) into another nonmagical object of similar size and mass and of equal or lesser value. You must spend 10 minutes handling the object to transform it.
  • Panacea. You remove all curses, diseases, and poisons affecting a creature that you touch with the transmuter's stone. The creature also regains all its hit points.
  • Restore Life. You cast the raise dead spell on a creature you touch with the transmuter's stone, without expending a spell slot or needing to have the spell in your spellbook.
  • Restore Youth. You touch the transmuter's stone to a willing creature, and that creature's apparent age is reduced by 3d10 years, to a minimum of 13 years. This effect doesn't extend the creature's lifespan.

Grim Harvest

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Necromancy) or Acolyte: Grave, 2nd Level

You gain the ability to reap life energy from creatures you kill with your spells. Once per turn when you kill one or more creatures with a spell of 1st level or higher, you regain hit points equal to twice the spell's level, or three times its level if the spell belongs to the School of Necromancy. You don't gain this benefit for killing constructs or undead.

FEATS | ADVENTURER

Undead Thralls

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Necromancy) or Acolyte: Grave, animate dead spell, 6th Level

When you cast animate dead, you can target one additional corpse or pile of bones, creating another zombie or skeleton, as appropriate. Additionally, undeads created and controlled by this spell remain under your control for 48 hours instead of 24 hours.

Fortified Undead

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Necromancy) or Acolyte: Grave, 6th Level

When you take this feat, choose two of the following fortifications, affecting all undead creatures you control:

  • The undead increase their maximum hit points by 5.
  • The undead gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls.
  • The undead gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls.

You can choose the same benefit more than once. You can select this feat a second time after 12th level, and a third time after 18th level. Each time you do so you must choose two more fortifications.

Bone Shield

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Necromancy) or Acolyte: Grave, 6th Level

As a reaction to being targeted by an attack from a creature you can see, you can chooses one undead creature under your control within 5 feet of you to swap places. The undead becomes the target of the attack instead.

Spectral Visage

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Illusion or Necromancy) or Acolyte: Grave or Trickery, 6th Level

You gain the ability to adopt a humanoid's persona. When a humanoid dies within 30 feet of you, you can magically capture its shadow using your reaction. You retain this shadow until you use it or you finish a long rest.

As an action, you can transform the shadow into a disguise that appears on you, granting you the humanoid's appearance while they were healthy and alive. This disguise lasts for 1 hour or until you end it as a bonus action. While you're in the disguise, you gain access to all information that the humanoid would freely share with a casual acquaintance such as general details on its background and personal life. The information is enough that you can pass yourself off as the person by drawing on its memories. Another creature can see through this disguise by succeeding on a Wisdom (Insight) check contested by your Charisma (Deception) check. You gain a +5 bonus to your check.

Once you capture a shadow with this feature, you can't capture another one with it until you finish a short or long rest.

Portent

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Divination), 2nd Level

Glimpses of the future begin to press in on your awareness. When you finish a long rest, roll one d20 and record the number rolled. You can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see with one of these foretelling rolls. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only once per turn. Each foretelling roll can be used only once. When you finish a long rest, you lose any unused foretelling rolls. You can select this feat a second time after 6th level, a third time after 10th level, and a fourth time after 14th level. Each time you do so you roll another d20.

Minor Conjuration

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Conjuration), 2nd Level

You can use your action to conjure up an inanimate object in your hand or on the ground in an unoccupied space that you can see within 10 feet of you. This object can be no larger than 3 feet on a side and weigh no more than 10 pounds, and its form must be that of a nonmagical object that you have seen. The object is visibly magical, radiating dim light out to 5 feet.

The object disappears after 1 hour, when you use this feature again, if it takes any damage, or if it deals any damage.

Benign Transposition

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Conjuration), 6th Level

You can use your action to teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see. Alternatively, you can choose a space within range that is occupied by a Small or Medium creature. If that creature is willing, you both teleport, swapping places.

Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest or you cast a conjuration spell of 1st level or higher.

Instinctive Charm

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Enchantment) or Acolyte: Trickery, 6th Level

When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to divert the attack, provided that another creature is within the attack's range. The attacker must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the attacker must target the creature that is closest to it, not including you or itself. If multiple creatures are closest, the attacker chooses which one to target. On a successful save, you can't use this feature on the attacker again until you finish a long rest.

You must choose to use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses. Creatures that can't be charmed are immune to this effect.

FEATS | ADVENTURER

Air Step

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Conjuration or Evocation), 6th Level

You can use a bonus action to create arcane panels of force in the shape of stairs or walkways that float in the air. These panels provide no cover, but can be walked across. At the end of your turn, the panels disappear and you fall if nothing else is holding you aloft. You can create arcane panels no smaller than 5 ft by 5 ft squares, and their total area cannot exceed 100 times your spellcasting modifier.

Sky Bridge

Prerequisite: Air Step, 14th Level

Your arcane panels no longer disappear at the end of your turn, allowing you to stay aloft between turns. Other creatures can also walk across your arcane panels.

As a bonus action, you can remove sections of your arcane panels. Any creature or object on the removed panels fall if nothing else is holding them aloft.

Ethereal Flap

Prerequisite: Acolyte, 6th Level

You can use a bonus action to manifest a pair of spectral wings from your back. While the wings are present, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. At the end of your turn, the wings disappear and you fall if you end your turn in the air and nothing else is holding you aloft. Your diety or patron determines the appearance of the spectral wings: eagle wings for good or law, bat wings for evil or chaos, and dragonfly wings for neutrality.

You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

Ethereal Wings

Prerequisite: Ethereal Flap, 14th Level

Your wings no longer disappear at the end of your turn, allowing you to stay aloft between turns. The wings last until you're incapacitated, you die, or you dismiss them as a bonus action.

Sculpt Spells

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Evocation), 2nd Level

You can create pockets of relative safety within the effects of your evocation spells. When you cast an evocation spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 + the spell's level. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.

Potent Spell

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Evocation), 6th Level

You have mastered the use of evocation magic in combat, and your evocation spells affect even creatures that avoid the brunt of the effect. Your spell attacks with evocation cantrips or spells score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. When a creature succeeds on a saving throw against your evocation cantrip or spell, the creature takes half the cantrip or spell's damage (if any) but suffers no additional effect from the cantrip or spell. This effect applies to creatures with Evasion.

Overchannel

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Evocation), 14th Level

You can increase the power of your simpler spells. When you cast a spell of 1st through 5th-level that deals damage, you can deal maximum damage with that spell.

The first time you do so, you suffer no adverse effect. If you use this feature again before you finish a long rest, you take 2d12 necrotic damage for each level of the spell, immediately after you cast it. Each time you use this feature again before finishing a long rest, the necrotic damage per spell level increases by 1d12. This damage ignores resistance and immunity.

Spell Mastery (1st-Level)

Prerequisite: 9th-Level Spellcasting, Spellbook, 18th Level

You gain mastery over a basic spell and can cast it with no effort. When you take this feat, choose one 1st-level spell from your spellbook.

Spell Mastery (2nd-Level)

Prerequisite: Spell Mastery (1st-Level), 20th Level

You gain mastery over a powerful spell and can cast it with no effort. When you take this feat, choose one 2nd-level spell from your spellbook.

FEATS | ADVENTURER

Sneak Attack

You learn how to strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use Dexterity.

You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can select this feat multiple times, increasing the extra damage by 1d6 each time.

Dirty Tricks

Prerequisite: Sneak Attack, 3rd Level

When you take this feat, choose two tricks. When you fulfill the criteria for Sneak Attack, you can apply one of these tricks. You can only apply one trick to a single attack, unless otherwise stated. Some of your tricks require your target to make a saving throw to resist the trick's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Trick Save DC = 8 + Dexterity modifier + Proficiency Bonus

If you have the Spellsneak feat, you can also use these tricks on melee or ranged spell attacks. You can select this feat multiple times. Each time you do so, must choose two different tricks.

Duck Away. You can forgo 1 Sneak Attack dice on a melee weapon attack. The target has disadvantage on opportunity attacks made against you until the start of your next turn.

Purloin. You can forgo 1 Sneak Attack dice on a melee attack to make a Sleight of Hand check against the target's armor class. On a success, you steal one object from them if it isn't being worn or held, or is secured by thin string, straps, or chain.

Fake Out. You can forgo half of your Sneak Attack dice, rounded down, on a melee or ranged weapon attack. Your next attack on this turn can benefit from your Sneak Attack, dealing damage equal to number of dice forgone.

Heel Cutter. You can forgo 1 Sneak Attack dice on a melee or ranged weapon attack. The target's movement speed decreases by 5 feet until the start of your next turn. You can apply this trick to the same attack multiple times.

Wing Clip. You can forgo 1 Sneak Attack dice on a ranged weapon attack against a target with a fly speed granted by natural wings. The target must make a Strength saving throw or plummet 10 feet. You can apply this trick to the same attack multiple times.

Blindside. You can forgo 5 of your Sneak Attack dice on a melee or ranged weapon attack. The target must make a Constitution saving throw or become blinded. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the effect ends.

Daze. You can forgo 5 of your Sneak Attack dice on a melee or ranged weapon attack. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.

Assassinate

Prerequisite: Sneak Attack, 3rd Level

Spellsneak

Prerequisite: Metamagic, Sneak Attack

When you fulfill the criteria for Sneak Attack with a ranged or melee spell attack, excluding the ranged or finesse weapon requirement, you can expend 1 sorcery point to apply your Sneak Attack damage to the attack.

Conserved Spellcasting

Prerequisite: 2nd-Level Spellcasting, 15th Level

When you cast a spell using a higher level spell slot, you can regain a spell slot of level equal to the difference between the spell slot used and spell's level. Using this ability ignores the spell's Casting at Higher Level feature.

Metamagic

You gain 4 sorcery points, which you regain when you finish a long rest. You also gain the ability to twist your spells to suit your needs. You gain one Metamagic option of your choice. You can use your sorcery points to regain expened spell slots, or sacrifice spell slots to regain expended sorcery points. You gain the ability to use crystals and orbs as your spellcasting focus.

You can select this feat a second time after 5th level, a third time after 11th level, and a fourth time after 17th level. Each time you do so you gain a different Metamagic options, and your maximum number of sorcery points increases by 4.

Creating Spell Slots. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The created spell slots vanish at the end of a long rest. You can create spell slots no higher in level than 5th. A 1st-Level Spell Slot costs 2 Sorcery Points, a 2nd-Level costs 3 Sorcery Points, a 3rd-Level costs 5 Sorcery Points, a 4th-Level costs 6 Sorcery Points, and a 5th-Level costs 7 Sorcery Points. You cannot create more spell slots beyond your maximum number or level.

Converting a Spell Slot to Sorcery Points. As a bonus action on your turn, you can expend one spell slot and gain a number of sorcery points equal to the slot's level. You cannot gain more sorcery points than your maximum.

Reactionary Metamagic

Prerequisites: Metamagic, 11th level

Your ability to twist spells has extended beyond just your own magic. When you see a creature within 30 feet of you cast a spell, you can use your reaction to use one of the metamagic option you know, excluding Subtle Spell, to twist that spell. If a metamagic option requires chosen targets, you choose the targets.

FEATS | ADVENTURER

Wild Magic

Prerequisite: Metamagic

You learn to manipulate the forces of chance and chaos. Whenever you expend 1 or more sorcery points, roll a d20. If you roll a 1, you trigger a Wild Magic Surge, and roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a random magical effect. A Wild Magic Surge can only happen once per turn. If a Wild Magic Surge effect is a spell, it's too wild to be affected by Metamagic. If it normally requires concentration, it doesn't require concentration in this case; the spell lasts for its full duration. See page 104 of the Player Handbook for the Wild Magic Surge table.

Additionally, you can use an bonus action to spend 5 sorcery points to roll directly on the Wild Magic Surge table.

If you have the Action Surge feat, roll directly on the Wild Magic Surge table when you use it to take an additional action. The surge happens before the additional action is taken.

Bend Luck

Prerequisite: Wild Magic, 6th Level

You gain the ability to twist fate using your Wild Magic. When another creature you can see makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction and spend 2 sorcery points to roll 1d4 and apply the number rolled as a bonus or penalty (your choice) to the creature's roll. You can do so after the creature rolls but before any effects of the roll occur.

Arcane Recovery

Prerequisite: 1st-Level Spellcasting

You have learned to regain some of your magical energy. When you finish a short rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level of 2, and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.

You can select this feat multiple times. Each time you do so, the combined level of recovered slots increases by 2.

Elemental Affinity

Prerequisite: Elemental Adept, 6th Level

Choose one of your damage types from the Elemental Adept feat. You gain resistance to the damage type chosen. In addition, when you cast a spell that deals damage of the type chosen for Elemental Adept, add your spellcasting modifier to one damage roll. You can select this feat multiple times, one for each time you have selected the Elemental Adept feat. Each time you do so, you must select a different damage type.

Elemental Surge

Prerequisite: Wild Magic, Elemental Adept, 6th Level

Whenever you use your Wild Magic feat to roll for a Wild Magic Surge, you can cause elemental magic to erupt around you. Each creature within 10 feet of you takes 1d6 damage of a type chosen in the Elemental Adept feat. If the reroll causes a Wild Magic Surge, or if you rolled directly on the Wild Magic Surge table, the eruption instead deals 5d6 damage.

Mage Hand Legerdemain

Prerequisite: mage hand cantrip, 3rd Level

When you cast mage hand, you can make the spectral hand invisible, and you can perform the following additional tasks with it:

  • You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature.
  • You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature.
  • You can use thieves' tools to pick lock and disarm traps at range.

You can perform one of these tasks without being noticed by a creature if you succeed on a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the creature's Wisdom (Perception) check. If you have the Quickened Action feat (Use an Object), you can use a bonus action to control the hand.

Additionally, your mage hand can carry a number of pounds equal to 10 times your spellcasting modifier.

Arcane Fist

Prerequisite: mage hand cantrip, 3rd Level

While you have your mage hand out, you gain the ability to use your mage hand to make a special ranged spell attack with a range of 30 feet which requires verbal and somatic components and uses your spellcasting ability from mage hand for the attack roll. This attack deals 1 bludgeoning damage. If you have the Martial Arts feat or another way of increasing your unarmed strike damage, this attack deals damage equal to your unarmed strike. You do not add your spellcasting modifier to the damage of this attack. When you use this attack, your mage hand moves next to the target of the attack.

You can also use your mage hand to attempt to grapple or shove creatures within 30 feet of you. When you do so, you use your spellcasting ability score for the check instead of your Strength.

If you have the Spellcasting Style feat, this special attack can benefit from the Destructive, Elementalist, and Repelling styles.

If you have a second mage hand summoned from the Spellcasting Style: Dualcast, when you take the Attack action on your turn and use this special attack as part of it, you can make an additional attack with this special attack.

If you have the Extra Attack feat, this special attack can be used for any of the attacks you make as part of the Attack action.

If you have the Martial Arts feat, when you take the Attack action on your turn and use this special attack as part of it, you can make the special attack once as a bonus action, or spend 1 ki point to make the special attack twice as a bonus action.

If you have the Mage Hand Legerdemain feat, attacking with your mage hand while hidden does not give away your location.

FEATS | ADVENTURER

Eyes of the Witch

Prerequisite: Proficiency in Arcana or Acolyte: Arcana

Your eyes are infused with magic, granting you certain benefits:

  • You can read all writing.
  • When you see a spell being cast, you know what spell it is.
  • You can use your action to observe one creature or object within 30 feet of you. When you do so, you see a faint aura around it if it bears magic, and you learn its school of magic, if any.

Blood Magic

Prerequisite: The ability to cast a spell or Martial Arts or Metamagic

You gain the ability to harness your own blood as a source of magic energy by storing it in a blood vial. As a bonus action on your turn, you can spend any number of hit dice to fill your blood vial. Roll the dice, add your Constitution modifier for each hit dice spent this way. Your vial gains a number of hit points equal the total. While your blood vial has more than 0 hit points, you can use it as your spellcasting focus. Your blood vial loses all unused hit points at the end of your next long rest.

When you cast a spell with your vial on your person, you can expend a number of hit points from your vial in order to cast the spell without expending spell slots. A 1st-Level spell costs 5 hit points, a 2nd-Level costs 10 hit points, a 3rd-Level costs 15 hit points, a 4th-Level costs 20 hit points, and a 5th-Level costs 25 hit points. Additionally, if a spell requires a material component that lists a cost, you can instead expend a number of hit points from your blood vial equal to the cost of the component in gold (minimum of 1 hit point).

If you have the Martial Arts feat, you can also use hit points from your vial in place of ki points. 1 ki point costs 5 hit points. If you have the Metamagic feat, you can also use hit points from your vial in place of sorcery points. 1 sorcery point costs 2 hit points.

Transfusion

Prerequisite: Blood Magic

When you kill one or more creatures with a spell cast through Blood Magic, your blood vial gains a number of hit points equal to your spellcasting modifier.

Additionally, if you have a familiar from the find familiar spell, you and your familiar can both use an action to touch one another and transfer any number of your own hit points to your familiar, or from your familiar to you.

Versatile Weapon Master

You've learned to use a free hand in combat to your advantage, allowing you to break past your opponent's guard and deflect their attacks. While you are wielding weapons with the versatile property and have a free hand, you gain the following benefits:

  • You can use the two-handed damage while using the weapon in one hand.
  • On your turn, you can make an unarmed strike as a bonus action. If the unarmed strike hits the target, you have advantage on the next weapon attack you make at that target before the end of your turn.
  • When another creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to add +1 to your AC for that attack, potentially causing the attack to miss you. If it does, you can make a single weapon attack at the attacker. If your attack hits, it is a critical hit.

Shared Agony

Prerequisite: Spellbook (School of Enchantment) or Acolyte: Eldritch, 10th Level

Your alien knowledge gives you the ability to touch the minds of other creatures. You can communicate telepathically with any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.

Additionally, your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means unless you allow it. You also have resistance to psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of damage that you do.

Infused Magic

Prerequisite: The ability to cast a spell or cantrip

You gain the ability to channel your spells into objects for later use. When you cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action, you can increase its casting time to 1 minute. If you do so and hold a nonmagical item throughout the casting, you cast the spell, but none of the spell's effects occur. Instead, the spell transfers into that item for later use if the item doesn't already contain a spell from this feature. Any creature holding the item thereafter can use an action to activate the spell if the creature has an Intelligence score of at least 6.

When activated, the spell is cast using your spellcasting ability, targeting the creature that activates the item. If the spell targets more than one creature, the creature that activates the item selects the additional targets. If the spell has an area of effect, it is centered on the item. If the spell's range is self, it targets the creature that activates the item. If the spell requires concentration, the creature that activates the item must concentrate on it.

When you infuse a spell in this way, it must be used within 8 hours. After that time, its magic fades and is wasted. You can have a limited number of infused spells at the same time. The number equals your spellcasting modifier.

Optional Rules

Listed here are a few notes and optional rules for using this class that can enhance or vary the way it performs.

Starting From Zero

To truly experience the rise from commoner to hero, consider using this method for ability scores.

When determining ability scores, do not use the standard array of 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, and 8. Instead, use the array of 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. Afterward, make any changes to your ability scores as a result of your race choice.

No Ability Score Increases

To maximize the number of feats experienced, consider disallowing the Ability Score Increase class feature, and instead requiring players to take a Feat on those levels instead. This means that players must rely on Half-ASI feats to increase their ability scores.

Skills. The easiest way to pick up 3 skills is through the Skilled feat. As such, I have treated 2-3 starting skill proficiencies as equivalent to 1 feat.

Ability Score Increase. Tallied as 1 feat.

Saving Throws. Player Handbook classes begin with 2 saving throws: one weak and one strong. In order to gain saving throws, Adventurers must take the Resilient feat, which also provides a +1 to the selected ability. Balance-wise, I have counted the 2 starting saving throws as equivalent to 1 feat. This is because taking Resilient twice is equivalent to having 2 saving throws and 1 ability score increase.

Weapon Proficiencies. As it is uncommon for a character to require more than four types of weapons, I have treated any and all weapon proficiencies as equivalent to 1 feat: Weapon Master.

However, some classes have access to a markedly wider range of weapons than others. As such, some martial classes may be undervalued by this suste,

Armor Proficiencies. Heavy armor is valued as 3 feats, as it requires both medium and light armor as well. As such, classes that have proficiency with heavy armor are rated very highly.

Scaling Feats. Certain class features increase with level in a class. Such features include as Barbarian's Rage, Rogue's Sneak Attack, Paladin's Lay on Hands, Sorcerer's Sorcery Points, and Monk's Ki and Martial Arts, among others. To account for this, many of the Adventurer feats can be taken multiple times to increase their number of uses or power. This is tallied in the table, with each time the feat needs to be retaken marked as 1 feat. For some class features, this is not a 1 to 1 equivalency.

Other Class Features. The list of feats for Adventurer does not yet encompass every possible class and subclass feature. These other feats are treated as equivalent to 1 feat each.

Notes

In this section, the number of feats required to build a class according to the Player Handbook are examined in order to roughly balance the Adventurer class against existing classes. Not all feats are created equal. It is worth noting that the amount of choice and customization presented by the Adventuerer class is inherently valuable, and therefore this class is designed to have fewer "feats" overall than the Player Handbook classes.
