Foreword
Hello, my name is Bulldozer56 and I am an avid fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender (ATLA), The Legend of Korra (TLOK) and the books. I was so excited when Magpie Games decided to create a tabletop for the Avatarverse. Although I was one among many other backers, once it was released, I realized that it really wasn't my cup of tea. This is my first attempt to make anything homebrew for D&D however heavily taking inspiration from Avatar Legends, already set in stone abilities of D&D and combining everything with a little bit of my homebrew and homebrew of the community, I was able to create some semblance of Avatar as a tabletop that may work for D&D. Nothing has been play tested yet and some things may need adjusting. Enjoy!!!
Index and
Homebrew Rules
- Jing: Jing is a term that describes the myriad of options one has during battle on how to direct their energy, both internally and externally. Although no single individual may be constricted by their lineages chosen jing pattern.
- Positive Jing: Positive jing is an aggressive expression and outlook on combat. Generally consisting of overwhelming and preempitve strikes against your opponent. Firebenders tend to exhibit positive jing in combat and in their personalities.
- Neutral Jing: Neutral Jing consist of observing your opponent and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Individuals that have an Earth Kingdom lineage tend to exhibit neutrality in all aspects of their lives.
- Negative Jing: Negative Jing practitioners believe that facing your opponent or combat is only used as a last resort and they tend to avoid or deflect direct conflict at all cost. Air Nomads are the greatest practitioners of Negative Jing, remaining pacifist even in the most dangerous situations and only breaking their composure as a last resort for survival.
- Techniques: At their cores, techniques are spells that benders can use in a fashion reminiscent of casting a spell.
- Multi-Classing: Non-Benders can multi-class into non-bending fighting styles but they can't multi-class into bending fighting styles, however Benders can multi-class into non-bending fighting styles. Fighting styles with sub-classes (Tech-Engineer, Waterbending, Earthbending, Firebending) can multi-class into their own classes. More of this is explained in the "Character Progression" section.
- Elemental Affinity Saving Throw: A saving throw made with the ability that is respective to the element. For example, the elemental affinity saving throw of Firebenders is Strength and Earthbenders is Constitution.
- Up-Casting and Down-Casting: Techniques can be used at a lower level then a character knows them however they can not be used at a higher level than the individual knows, unless abilities specify otherwise. To use a technique at a lower level, you must spend two technique slots from the previous level to use them. For example, if you want to use a Mastered level technique at a lower level you must expend 2 Trained level slots. If you want to use a Trained level technique you must expend 2 Practiced level slots. To use a Mastered technique from your Practiced level slots, you must use 4 Practiced level slots. If you do not have the equivalent amount of slots on the lower technique level, then you can’t use the technique.
Benders may only master up to 6 Techniques
1 Trained slot=2 Practiced slot
1 Mastered slot=2 Trained slots=4 Practiced slots
- Training : PC’s and NPC’s can attempt to train themselves further in their techniques or in other forms of bending. Training is a core part of the ATLA universe and it is a means to get better.
- To level up a Technique;
The characters must use the technique either in combat or out of combat. If a PC is attempting to level up a specific technique, they must declare their intention of “Training” that technique (for PCs maybe putting a “T” next to that technique might make you remember that you are training to improve that technique). You can only have 2 techniques being trained at once. If you were to switch one of the techniques you are currently training to another technique, you lose the progress you made in the previous technique.
Each time PCs want to use a technique that they are training, they must make an Elemental Ability Check (ability check that is your respective bending ability) with a DC 15. On a success, they gain a Training Point (TP) in that ability and on a fail they don’t. If a 20 is rolled for these checks, they gain an additional TP. When you get 5 Training Points, the Technique levels up to the next level. On a fail, the DC decreases by 1 and they don’t get a Training Point (TP).
For a character to level up their Learned techniques, they must find guidance from a master of that element. Training alongside with the master for some time, following their guidance or being tasked with something by their master to go on a journey that may help them unlock their potential in that technique are some examples of mastering a technique. During this entire time, the technique they are trying to Master is marked as a “Trained Technique” and consumes a training slot. Once their training, journey or guidance has been completed they have to make an Elemental Ability Check of DC 25. On a success, the technique becomes Mastered level. On a fail, the DC decreases by 1 and the PCs can repeat the Elemental Ability Check once per day to attempt to Master that Technique.
- To learn a Sub-Bending style (Optional Rule):
If a sub-bending style has been experienced in some way by the PCs or NPCs, they may attempt to learn the bending style using the same mechanics to Training as it is written above.
Once the PCs of NPCs have completed their training in the respective sub-bending style, now that sub-bending style is unlocked for them and they can invest levels into that sub-bending style.
If you want to go a certain build or perhaps multiclass into a different you can keep your levels when you level up so that you can invest them in a different sub-bending style. However, you won’t gain the benefits of your current bending style if you don’t invest the levels into that bending style. - Feats: Some of the existing feats have been altered or removed to better fit the setting. You can find more information on feats in the "Feats" section.
- Skill Checks: Arcana checks are considered as investigation toward bending that is currently active in the scene or bending that has been done previously, instead of the usual 5th edition Arcana check.
Religion checks are considered as a character's connection to the Spirit World and their core bending. Thus Religion checks use your Wisdom Modifier instead of your Intelligence Modifier. Generally the stronger the religious connection the character has, the stronger their connection to their core bending connection is. - Death: One a creature dies, if their spirit isn't corrupted, their spirit travels onto the spirit world. A dead creature can not be resurrected in any mortal way. Powerful spirits may choose to lend some of their power or all of their power to stabilize and bring a creature back from the brink of death (similar to how Princess Yue was healed by the Moon Spirit Tui) however this may have unforeseen consequences for both the character and the spirit. However, the spirit of the creature can return back to the material world by reincarnating into an animal.
Information on Creatures in Avatar
There are 3 types of creatures in Avatar: Humans, Animals and Spirits.
- Animals: Generally animals in the Avatar Universe are hybrid of two or three animals in real life. Examples of this would be Hogmonkeys, Tigerdillos, Platypusbears etc. However this doesn't mean that any normal animal can not be found, such as just bears or foxes. Animals tend to not know bending with the exception of some animals such as Badgermoles being the first Earthbenders, Dragons being the first Firebenders (not the fantasy looking ones, these dragons look more like the Far Eastern mythological dragons) and Flying Bison being the first Airbenders. A curious exception is made for only 1 animal who is the only known Energybender other than the Avatar, the Giant Lion Turtle. Lion Turtles are extremely calm, wise and are the only known animal to speak Common other than humans. However, don't let their calmness lead you astray, if they are provoked they will not hesitate to strike down their opponents.
Animals behave as any animal would in real life and they can not speak Common whatsoever (with the exception of Lion Turtles). That being said, due to animals being a hybrid of two they tend to behave as the more dominant species. Tigerdillos behave more like tigers while still exhibiting armadillo like behavior; Platypusbears behave more like bears while still exhibiting platypus like behavior etc. You can find more information on the animals of Avatar on this wiki page
- Spirits: Spirits come in a wide range of forms and sizes. One spirit can look like a humanoid and another may take the form of a centipede. Spirits can generally talk and interact with other spirits and humans that travel into the Spirit World however, it has not been displayed that they can bend. Spirits possess the ability of merging with another creature, assuming the form momentarily and taking over their personality as well however, this is dangerous for the creature it merges with because this merging may end up killing the creature. Although this is rarely seen, some spirits may merge with creatures as a form of punishment. If the creature survives, the creature now possesses some sort of ability and visual representation of the spirit that merged with it i.e their arm becomes that of a lemur after merging with a lemur spirit. In addition to merging spirits may choose to relinquish their immortality and enter the material world by becoming an animal. By doing so they can be killed, that being said they may not die of old age.
Spirits may be good or evil (dark spirits) and behave/interact with others as such. Some spirits can have extraordinary abilities, like Father Glowworm being able to tunnel between the Spirit and Material World. You can find more information on both the Spirit World and the known Spirits on this wiki page - Humans: Humans are well, human. Some humans can bend and some can not that varies with their connection to their spiritual self and their family bloodline. Although this may be true, non-benders can not learn how to bend unless some major cosmic balance has been struck (i.e opening of the second spirit portal in The Legend of Korra). Finally, throughout the nations and the Spirit World only 1 language is spoken and that is Common.
Information on the World of Avatar
The world of Avatar houses a specific form of “magic system” known as bending, where people who can bend an element generally can bend due to their genetic structure of their parents. As the Avatar Wiki suggests: “One important known factor in determining the likelihood of a person to inherit bending abilities is the genetic history of the family. It can be considered a recessive gene, since it is possible for a person to inherit bending skills even if they have two non-bending parents…” Although this may be true, one must also be spiritually inclined to further improve their bending abilities. The wiki further suggests that in cases where an individual has parents that bend different elements, the offspring may bend either but never both i.e Mako and Bolin bending Fire and Earth -respectively- due to their parents being fire and earth benders. Thus a conclusion may be drawn where both spirituality and genetics have an effect on the individuals bending capability and abilities.
There are four elements to bend with each element being respective of its own nation: Water is from the Water Tribes, Earth is from the Earth Kingdom, Fire is from the Fire Nation and Air is from the Air Nomads. Each creature can bend only one element, however only the Avatar can bend and master all four elements and every generation one individual is reincarnated as the next life of the previous Avatar. Additionally, only the Avatar possesses the ability to bend a 5th element known as Energy where they can bend the energy of the cosmos and use it in ways that they desire, such as to take away someone's bending permanently. The Avatar is known throughout the world as a beacon of good, hope and a conduit or bridge to the spirit world. The sole purpose of the Avatar is to bring about peace within the
material world and to strike balance between the material world and the spirit world. How they attempt to bring about that peace and balance and what to focus on while doing so is completely up to the Avatar.
Before the era of the Avatar the material and spirit world was seemingly in harmony. It was a frequent occurrence to see different spirits in the material world. Humans thought the spirits were dangerous and built their communities on top of giant creatures known as Lion Turtles. In the past, people couldn’t bend. They were given the ability to bend by respectfully asking the lion turtle they lived on and if the lion turtle approved, whatever element the lion turtle could bend through energybending gave the humans. As centuries went by, eventually the Avatar Cycle started with the first Avatar which lived on a firebending lion turtle, Avatar Wan. Avatar Wan’s greatest feat, other than being the first human to master all of the elements, was to pay back the debt he owed the spirit of light and peace (which is also the Avatar Spirit) Raava by defeating Vaatu during Harmonic Convergence. He continued to broker peace through communities and pushed towards a peaceful world. After his death, Raava and Wan swore to each other that they would broker peace throughout the planes and so the cycle continued with the elemental order being fire, air, water, earth.
After humans descended from the Lion Turtles, bending wasn’t easy to come by. Thus people turned to nature and eventually discovered the natural sources of bending. For water, the natural source is the Moon; For earth, the Badgermoles; For fire, the Dragons and for air, the Flying Bison. Humanity re-learned how to bend through these media and bending came into fruition for humans once more. As a part of this, some natural events can inhibit or strengthen a benders bending capability. An example of this can be a full moon. During a full moon waterbenders can bend water easier compared to when there isn’t one. Another example may be a solar eclipse, where firebenders lose their ability to bend fire.
The material world is relatively self explanatory. There are 4 nations, everyone can only bend one element (with exception of the Avatar) and other creatures that are found in the world are generally hybrids of two real animals on Earth (for example: Hog Monkeys, Eel Hounds, Polar Bear Dogs). On the other hand, the spirit world is far more complex. The spirit world is home to many spirits that live throughout the lands. There are good and evil spirits, weak and powerful spirits, all of them come in many shapes and sizes. Some notable spirits are Koh the Face Stealer, The Mother of Faces, Father Glow Worm etc. The spirit world is a plane where the emotions of an individual affect the surroundings. If a creature is angry, the surrounding area may turn evil while if they are calm it may not.
Creatures can travel in and out of the spirit world either by meditating into the spirit world or by traveling through one of the spirit portals located at the north and south poles of the globe. If a creature travels into the spirit world through meditation, they can not bend in the spirit world however if they travel through one of the portals, then they can bend and use their bending in the spirit world. Air Nomads generally have the practice of traveling into the spirit world through meditation and they can guide others into the spirit world as well. During the solstices, due to the barrier between the material and spirit world being the weakest one may travel into the spirit world much easier on those days. If one travels into the spirit world through meditation, their body remains unconscious as long as they remain in the spirit world. However, those who travel into the spirit world must be careful, for if their spirit ends up being corrupted by an evil spirit or they end up in the Fog of Lost Souls, they may never return to the material plane. It is highly advised that individuals who travel into the spirit world at least have some prior knowledge or a guide. If a creature's spirit is corrupted while they are still alive, the creature immediately dies and doesn’t enter the spirit world.
When a creature dies, their spirit travels into the spirit world. A spirit is immortal but still open to corruption. Spirit may choose to remain in the spirit world or return to the material world as an animal and be reincarnated, relinquishing their immortality. Although a spirit relinquishes their immortality, this doesn’t necessarily mean that they are affected by the effects of aging; they are only open to be killed once more. Primordial spirits such as Tui (Moon Spirit) and La (Ocean Spirit) relinquished their immortality and live their lives in the spirit oasis found at the Northern Water Tribe.
Depending on which era you decide to play, some characteristics of the world change. For era’s before Avatar Korra, it is rare to see spirits in the material world due to the fact that the Southern Spirit Portal that was closed by Avatar Wan and hasn’t been opened yet.

Character Creation
Now, we move on to the actual character creation part. There is only one living sapient species in the world of Avatar, humans. Thus, every living character you create will be human. In addition to being human you also have a lineage, the nation you originate from. This can be any of the four nations as listed in the Lineage section. Although an overview is given of each nation in the Lineage section, any one character doesn’t need to be constrained by the factors and characteristics of their lineage. For example, you do not have to have strong community ties just because you are of Water Tribe lineage. However, let's assume that you want to create a character with parents of two different lineages. In this case, you must choose which parent the character takes after and assign the character's lineage accordingly. If, however, you want to create a character that possibly has characteristics of both parents, talk it over with your GM. Maybe your character can have the Unarmored Defense ability in addition to Lessons of the Schools ability. Practice creativity when choosing your characters lineage and backstory, not every person is just one type of individual.
Once you have your Species and Lineage bonuses written down, now it’s time to choose a fighting style, or in other words class. First you must decide whether you want to be a Bender or Non-Bender. If you choose to be a Non-Bender, fighting styles such as Weaponsmaster and Tech-Engineer are available to you. However, due to your lack of bending you will not be able to choose any of the fighting styles that involve bending.
On the other hand, you can choose to be a Bender. Depending on your lineage, you are assigned to your respective elemental fighting style. Waterbenders have the Waterbending fighting style and Earthbenders have the Earthbending fighting style (don't worry you can choose your sub-bending style later on at level 3). Once you have your bending fighting style chosen, you can now choose your bending techniques found in the bending techniques section.
And there you have it, you have created your own Avatarverse character. Now you can go out and have wonderful adventures in the world of Avatar.
Character Progression
As you will see, each lineage has their own fighting style or otherwise known as "class", however the sub-bending styles of each lineage are given as Paths, Traditions, Principles or otherwise known as "sub-classes". If they know-seen-heard or experienced it , each character can choose the sub-bending style they know however if they don't know any they are obligated to choose their respective elements sub-class (this is an optional rule that I have added for extra realism however this rule isn’t required to play).
An added twist to the mix is multi-classing into your own class. Since benders can only bend 1 element they can choose to multi-class into their own class if they want to. The only restriction being your respective Elemental Abiltiy Score (i.e Constitution for Earth, Intelligence for Tech-Engineer etc.) must be at least 13. Similar to multi-classing, you will start from level 1 of your class and gain levels in your class as you level up. Once you reach level 3, this time you can choose another sub-class that isn't the one you have chosen initially.
So, for example let's say you are level 8 in the Earthbending Class and you chose Tradition of Earthbending as your first sub-class which you already have 5 levels invested in and you decide to multi-class into the Earthbending Class but this time choosing the Tradition of Lavabending sub-class. By multi-classing into your own class, you only gain the benefits of the Earthbending Class by up to level 5 and thus you'll only be considered a 5th level Earthbender with the Traditions: Earthbending and Lavabending. This means, you will only have the benefits of a 5th level bender class with the abilities and technique slots of the class up until level 5. However, returning to our previous example, let's say that you reach level 13 in Earthbending with the same 5 levels into Tradition of Earthbending and the other 8 into Tradition of Lavabending. At this point you will be considered an 8th level Earthbender with the abilities and technique slots of an 8th level Earthbender.
To summarize it:
- Classes with sub-classes can multi-class into their class to attain the other sub-classes so long as they meet the Elemental Ability Score of 13 for their class.
- If you multi-class into a sub-class of your class, you will only have the abilities and technique slots of your class, for which you have more levels in sub-class (i.e 8th level, 5 levels in Tradition of Earthbending and 3 in Lavabending = You are a 5th level Earthbender)
The same also applies for Waterbending Paths, Firebending Principles and Tech-Engineer Specializations as well.
Sadly, Non-benders are born without the ability to bend thus they can only multi-class into Non-Bending classes. Benders on the other hand can multi-class into both Bending and Non-Bending classes.
GM Discussion
Dear GM, before you start your adventure I would recommend you ask yourself "Do I want to make a lore accurate adventure?" if yes, this homebrew adaptation gives you all the knowledge you need to know to quickly start and you can find out more information from the Avatar wiki that I provided above. However, if you really want to get into the nitty-gritty lore of Avatar I would recommend you choose an Avatar Era before you start. This is due to the fact that the world of Avatar is much different at different Avatar Eras. For example, if you want to run an adventure in eras before Avatar Aang, metalbending doesn't exist yet and the Tradition of Metalbending will not be available to the players. Furthermore, some of the Creative Mind Contraptions of the tech-engineer class will be less accurate to the class description due to the fact that technology really takes off during and after the era of Aang. Although these may be true to the lore, as a GM you gain more options as to manipulating the political climate of a nation or the world. For example, before the era of Avatar Szeto the Fire Nation archipelago was dominated by clanism. Similarly, during and before the era of Avatar Kyoshi daofei would reign and rampage accross the Earth Kingdom. Even furthermore, Airbenders do not exist during Aang's era (however they make a return during Korra's era after Harmonic Convergence when she keeps the Southern Spirit Portal open). Below you can find short descriptions of the known Avatar Eras:- Era of Yangchen: An era where the Earth Kingdom rescedes into isolationism due to the Fire and Water nations supporting a coup against the king. People around the world suffer from poverty (at different degrees) and trade is heavily monitored after the isolationist politics are employed. Technology of the era is similar to that of 600-900 AD. Combustionbending exists however no information is known about the other sub-bending types. Spiritual Prohection has existed among the Air Nomads for eons and Lavabending exists before the era of Yangchen. You can find more information here.
- Era of Kuruk: An era of peace across the globe however due to Avatar Yangchen dealing mostly with human affairs, the dark spirits have been kept unchecked. Avatar Kuruk combats and tries to keep the dark spirits at bay while the globe lives a peaceful era. Technology of the era is similar to the Era of Yangchen. The era of Kuruk is a short era due to the fact that he died at the age of 33. No information is known about any of the sub-bending styles (except Spitisbending and Healing which have existed in the Water Tribes for eons). You can find more information here.
- Era of Kyoshi: An era of dao fei and unerground organizations rising up across the globe. Due to Avatar Kuruk neglecting humanity and dealt primarily with spirits, the balance of the world shifts once more. The Earth Kingdom is plagued by dao fei and the Southern Water Tribe is mostly plagued by Marquess of the Eastern Sea, Tagaka. The technology of the era is roughly the same throughout the era of Avatar Kyoshi which lasts for 230 years. First era where Lightning Generation is sighted. You can find more information here.
- Era of Roku: An era where the Fire Nation starts the Industrial Revolution, strengthening their army with battleships made of metal, airships and tanks. An era of relative peace across the globe with the exception of the Guiding Wind, an Air Nomad renegade group states that the Air Nomads have become to materialistic and should revert to their old ways. The era ends with the death of Avatar Roku at Crescent Island after his best friend Fire Lord Sozin leaves him to die. The end of the Roku Era also results in the Air Nomad genocide and the start of The Hundred Year War by Fire Lord Sozin's usage of a comet passing near Earth, later known as "Sozin's Comet". Technology in the fire nation is similar to that of the Industrial Revolution and across the other nations about 1400-1600 AD. You can find more information here.
- Hundred Year War Era: An era of massive conflict across the globe. No Air Nomad is present in the early stages of the war. Towards the end of the era about, the Earth Kingdom is conquered by the Fire Nation with the fall of Ba Sing Sae. The Avatar after Roku, Aang is discovered to be alive and the only survivor of the Air Nomad genocide. Metalbending is invented, Lightning Redirection and
Bloodbending are sighted for the first time. You can find more information here.
- Era of Aang: The end of the Hundred Year War sparks healing across the nations. Generations of Fire Nation settlers refuse to leave the Earth Kingdom which results in minor tensions between them. Conflict between benders and non-benders heat up. Avatar Aang constructs Republic City in Earth Kingdom territory as a symbol for uniting the nations under one banner. Technology of the era improves towards a more steampunk-modern asian setting. You can find more information here.
- Era of Korra: The start of the era is of relative peace across the globe. Republic City has an uprising of non-bender vs benders. Followed by the openning of the Southern Water Tribe spirit portal which results in a shift of balance across the world. The balance shift results in previous non-benders getting the ability to Airbend. Guru Laghima's techings of true weightlessness (or flight) is rediscovered. Zaofu, a city made of metal and comprised of metalbenders is erected. The Earth Kingdom Queen is murdered and the Kingdom falls into turmoil. The fall of the kingdom results in Kuvira, the grand unifier to unify the Earth Kingdom under a dictatorship. Avatar Korra defeats Kuvira, however the true heir to the throne brings democracy to the kingdom. Technology of the era if steampunk-modern asian with mechas. There is a boom in metalbenders. You can find more information here.
tl:dr: Spiritbending, Healing and Spiritual Projection have existed for eons. Each technology era is different thus think carefully about the era you want to run your adventure if you want to make it extremely lore accurate. And if you don't, thats fine as well. Just have fun, be creative.
The world of Avatar is unlike any other fantasy universe. It is much more simple however it lacks some of the high fantasy magical bravado that some may desire. There are spells, magical incantations or items that would give the world an extra dimension. However, what it lacs in fantasy it reinforces in realism, logic and creativity. Although I tried to sum up the majority of "spells" any character can do at any given point, it is not confined by these. Listen to your players, if they want to do something that isn't listed as a Bending Technique first question if it is logical. Ask yourself "Can a bender of their knowledge bend their element in that way?" if it seems logical, I would suggest you go through with it. Many wacky, cool scenarios may play out when you add player creativity into the mix.
Due to a lack of magic that is otherwise found in high fantasy universes magical items or potions also do not exist (however I though of adding health potions as "tea brews" idk just a thought). Thus, it may be troublesome when trying to balance out an encounter due to the fact that when a character dies, they are dead no second chances. As a consequence of this hurdle, I would recommend at least one party member being a healer.
- Defeat a specific foe in combat: Useful for when the character would otherwise run from that foe or has difficulty standing up for themselves. Example: Take down the leader of the dao fei, that left you an orphan.
- Surrender: Useful for when the PC is bold or overly brave and needs to learn a lesson in humility. Add “to a specific foe” to push them to a particular enemy they only ever want to fight. Example: Hold your fist back the next time you face your backstabbing brother. Example: Surrender to the local enforcers for the crimes you have committed and rid yourself of guilt.
- Lose your balance: Useful for an overly careful player character, who never exposes themselves, who never shows vulnerability throughout many sessions of play. Add “in a specific situation” to make it more directed. Example: Don't be afraid to show vulnerability and confront your emotions next time you fall in love (or just, try to fall in love).
- Be taken out: Useful for when the PC has never faced defeat in battle for they think it will bring disappointment and shame upon them. Add “in a specific situation” to make it more directed. Example: Be taken out outside of combat.
- Seek a specific mystical or ancient location: Useful for when the overall group of companions travels quite a bit, and when the technique is strange, draws on lost wisdom or draws on new wisdom unknown to the character. Example: Seek the Sun Warriors in their hidden city and learn from them.
- Find and listen to an opposing teacher: Useful for when the teacher presents a highly polarized view of the world, challenges the world view of the character and the PC needs to learn the lessons at the opposing end of the spectrum. Example: Find the only other student of the same teacher and let them complete your training. Example: Change your world view and see the world for what it actually is.
- Build a structure of spiritual or local import: Useful for when the player character is much more of a fighter or a destroyer, or even an evader who tends to run from problems, than a builder who constructs. Add “with/without using particular tools” to make it more poignant or challenging. Example: Construct defenses around the whole of the village without your bending.
- Tell a specific person a specific, difficult truth: Useful for when the player character’s issues have a lot to do with making decisions, or trying to hide things about themselves. Example: Admit to your other teachers that you don’t want to live up to the person your family or community wants you to be.
- Use the technique in an exchange in a particular way: Useful for when the player character is reluctant to make use of a technique or when the technique is particularly powerful or focused. Example: Defeat an opponent using this technique as the final blow or use a devastatingly powerful technique in the least damaging way.
- Don't use the technique/weapon: Useful for when a character uses that technique or weapon consistently and always relies on that technique or weapon. Example: Learn to live without that technique or expand your weaponsmaster knowledge my mastering other weapons, a master of one weapons is only strong wielding that weapon.
Finally, I would like to say that although throughout the adventure there will be combat with other people, animals or spirits, the adventure shouldn't be focused on combat. This is a journey that your players will take, develop and grow throughout the adventure. So when crafting your adventure rather than making combat encounters, I would recommend you create an adventure that gives room for character growth and progression. Making it a more roleplay heavy adventure rather than having a TPK in session 3. I'm not saying don't put any combat encounters, its just that due to death being the final decider for a character I would recommend you think three times before you finally set up combat. However, if in one of your players dies perhaps show their spirit in the spirit world if someone from the party travels to the spirit world or maybe talk with the player to reincarnate them as an animal of their choosing that sticks with the party while they play their new character, a nice bittersweet moment or reconnection.
Economy
Economy in the world of Avatar is a little different than other settings. Gold and platinum is highly valuable due to their applications and worth. To get a sense of their worth, for about 1500 gold pieces one can buy a nice house in the upper ring (the aristocratic/rich ring) of Ba Sing Sae. Thus, most transactions are either done with copper or silver pieces. When buying or selling items, please consider the worth of gold. You may not want your players to be filthy rich at the start of an adventure. I would suggest you give each player the following amount of wealth:Loot |

- Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
- Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common.
- Fighting Style: You can choose one of the fighting styles depending on your lineage and bending ability. If you are a non-bender, you must choose a fighting style from the non-bender category regardless of you lineage - however if you are a bender you must choose a fighting style from the category that is respective to your lineage (i.e Water Tribesman bender can choose a Waterbending Fighting Style). You can choose a sub-bending style so long as you meet the prerequisites.
Variant Human

- Skills: You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.

Lineage
Alongside the benefits of your species you also must choose a lineage, a country of origin or a nation you take after. Even if you do not live in that nation, you must choose a lineage that signifies your characters roots.
Water Tribes
Brave the power of the seas within your hands. Water Nationals are fierce warriors as they are compassionate individuals. They choose to flow like water through the jing scales instead of residing on a singular plane. Individuals of the Water Tribe generally have an unusual jing pattern that shifts through Positive jing, Neutral jing and Negative jing. Water Nation citizens are among the most diverse individuals and put family and community above all else. Individuals that have left their community or in some way betrayed their own kind are frowned upon and either are accepted back into the community under harsh conditions or are never accepted back into their community.
The Water Tribe has 3 primary locations in which they reside: The Northern Water Tribe, The Southern Water Tribes and The Foggy Swamp located in the southwestern region of the Earth Kingdom. The political structure of the tribes is chiefdom. The Northern Tribe tends to exhibit more wealth and a much more comfortable lifestyle compared to the Southern Tribes. The Southern Tribes generally hunt
for their food and express less wealth due to their distance to any other nearby nation. They also have multiple chiefdoms that form a Council of Chiefs among their tribes. The Southern Tribe chiefdoms accept that the Northern Tribe chief is the true leader, however they are autonomous.
The Northern and Southern Tribes tend to dislike each other although forming alliances during tough times. The Northerners tend to believe that they are superior to the Southern Tribe and the Southerners dislike the North for both such behavior and previous unrests that happened while the entire water tribe resided in the north.
The Waterbenders that live in the Foggy Swamp, however, are unlike the other tribes, living away from civilization and the conflict or politics that come with it. Although they can bend the water, they also have been seen to bend the vines and plants that reside in the Foggy Swamp. No true political structure is observed among the dwellers of the Foggy Swamp.

Community
You find strength in family and community. If a a creature of Water Tribe lineage is fighting alongside you during combat, one of your damage die is always the maximum value.
Creating a Character with Water Tribe Lineage
When creating a character from the water tribes, think of which tribe they originate from: The North, The South or The Foggy Swamp. Although indivuduals with Water Tribe lineage have a strong sense of community, does your character share that same sense? Are they a loner or are they trying to re-find their family? Are they banished from their community or are they trying to make their community proud? Do they have an obligation to their family or are they trying to escape any obligation?
The open seas may harbor comfort for many tribesman, but what led your character to leave their tribe and seek adventure? Was it war, to find a banished or missing loved one or a sense redemption they wish to fulfill? Perhaps they are just a free soul, seeking to uncover more about the world and to experience adventure? Or they want to tell epic tales of their adventures if they eventually return to their tribe?
Earth Kingdom
Hail from the largest nation in the world. Stand firm and sturdy like a stone while pummeling your enemies with devastating boulders. Earth is the element of substance and people of the Earth Kingdom are as diverse as they are resilient. Citizens of the Earth Nation are persistent and enduring. They are among the most formidable allies and dangerous enemies. Their approach to life is neutral and their neutral jing fighting style reflects this. In almost every situation traditional Earthbenders choose to adapt their approach to whatever situation crosses their path, keeping neutrality in combat and waiting for the opponent to strike first.
The capital of the Earth Kingdom, the famous three walled city of Ba Sing Se is divided into 3 different segments. The largest portion, known as the lower ring, is where the lower class individuals live and where the capital does most of its agricultural projects. The middle ring is where traders live and conduct their business. The smallest ring, known as the upper ring, is where the wealthiest of individuals and the kingdom’s palace resides.
The Earth Kingdom as the name states, is a kingdom. However, as a consequence of being the largest nation among the rest, the king and the kingdom's power has had trouble many times in the past to stretch across the entire nation. A nation heavily populated by underground organizations known as “daofei” it is not uncommon in the kingdom for riots and uprisings to occur against the kingdom. Some uprisings are stopped while some get out of hand. Most, however, never achieve their purpose of toppling the kingdom.
The underground organizations of the Earth Kingdom have a custom known as Lei Tai. Two combatants duel on an elevated platform. Anyone of any lineage may enter however
bending or non-bending during the Lei Tai must be decided beforehand and both combatants must follow the rules or else the rule breaker is immediately declared the loser. All armor is removed prior to the duel, remaining in only simple clothing. The Lei Tai ends when the clear winning combatant declares so, which means that even if one of the combatants are badly injured the other may continue to duel them regardless of the circumstances. There are also bender exclusive tournaments where the first person to get knocked out of the arena loses.
Many daofei operate in different forms. Some choose to pillage villages and trade routes, some choose to infiltrate the political and what little religious structure there is of the Earth Kingdom or local government. One must always have eyes in the backs of their head when living in the Earth Kingdom.

As a member of the Earth Nation, you are naturally resilient. When you aren’t wearing any armor your armor class is equal to 10 + Your Dexterity Modifier + Your Constitution Modifier.
Lay of the Land
Land may be comforting but home is where you feel your best at bending. Starting at level 1, choose one type of favored terrain: Arctic, Forest, Swamp, Desert, Savannah, Hills, Mountains, Underground, Volcanic.

- While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.
At level 6 and 10 you can choose 1 additional favored terrain.
Creating a Character of Earth Kingdom Lineage
The Earth Kingdom is home to many different classes of people with very different life styles. When making a character of Earthen Lineage you have multiple places to choose as an origin. You could be a part of a Sandbender Tribe from the Si Wong Desert or perhaps from Omashu or Ba Sing Se. Did your character grow up in the slums of the kingdom or were they or their family rich? Did they inherit the wealth or did they fight for their wealth? Does your character have a connection or obligation to their family or an undercity daofei organization and if so, are they trying to break free of their bonds with them? Perhaps your characters
parents were taken by the daofei and you sold of to the heighest bidder? Was your character a slave to a diplomat that broke free or are they hunted by the law for being lawless? Maybe you are devout to the king or perhaps want to bring new order to the Earth Nation.
Planting roots and being able to call a place home is a great feat, however what drove you away from our home or town, what is the reason why you are on this adventurous path? Was it the daofei? A general sense of adventure? Or perhaps a need to spring roots different than your family? Do you have a blood related family or do you have a group of friends you call family?
Fire Nation
Honor above all. Fire Nation individuals are as scary as they are cunning. They rarely talk behind others backs and face their fights head on. Fire is the element of power and Fire Nation citizens usually approach life with Positive jing mentality, head on. They have the desire, will and energy to achieve what they want. The holders of the most unstable of elements choose to overwhelm their enemies to overcome their problems.
The Fire Nation’s political structure is based heavily on clans that have had a foothold in the region for decades or centuries. Although the Fire Lord is the final decider in running the country, high ranking leaders or individuals of clans try to manipulate the Fire Lord at every chance they get to favor their clan. This has led to political discourse within the nation previously.
For people of Fire Nation lineage, hair is a badge of honor which is generally put in a top-knot. Some individuals may shave parts of their hair after losing an Agni Kai or to mourn a loved one, however the top-knot remains untouched. However, in cases where someone of this lineage exhibits acts that are considered dishonorable or wrong by their clan or by the entire nation, they cut off their top-knot no matter the circumstances to display to others that they have committed a dishonorable act and so they are treated accordingly.
Finally, benders that are of Fire Nation lineage know of the sacred and honor driven duel known as Agni Kai. The process is as follows:
- One combatant challenges another to settle a dispute or outright challenge the other.
- If accepted, both individuals remove their armor (optional) around their torso and arms to fight with light clothing only and move to an arena or any available open area with their backs facing each other. To reject an Agni Kai can be frowned upon and the rejector may be labeled as weak.
- The duel start at the sound of a gong or some other notifier if a gong isn't available and the duel ends when one combatant burns the other, however one combatant may choose to spare the others life before burning them to end the duel prematurely.

Dragon’s Fury
Each time you make two attacks or use a technique on a creature, you can force them to move 5ft away from you.
Creating a Character with Fire Nation Lineage
Clans are a major part of Fire Nation social structure. When creating a character of Fire Nation lineage consider the clanistic history of the Fire Nation. Do you strongly belong to the clan your were born in to or are you trying to step away from kinship with your clan? Did you betray your clan and leave? On the other hand, perhaps you are deeply connected to your tradition and support your clan and its structure. Is your purpose to represent your clan against other clans or across the world?
Honor also plays a strong role in the Fire Nation social structure. Are you an honorable person? Did you commit acts that may be considered dishonorable? Have you secluded yourself from Fire Nation society due to your dishonor? Do you have long hair (honorable individual) or short hair (dishonorable individual)? Perhaps you were banished from your town or island and are seeking a way to restore your honor.
Finally, what is the reason you are out there exploring? Like I said before, maybe you are trying to find a way to restore your honor or perhaps you are on a diplomatic, militaristic or clan focused mission to aid your people? Maybe you are in search of the meaning of Firebending and trying to find a reasonable explanation to both the destructive and life giving nature of fire?
Air Nomads
Air is the element of freedom and Air Nomad values reflect that. The Air Nomads mostly aim to detach from earthly values and reach enlightenment through meditation and spiritual practice while remaining non-violence throughout their lives. They tend to be kind and loving and are trusted around the world with diplomacy due to their principle of always speaking the truth, however not all must follow their traditions. They are also known to not have their own currency and use the currency of other nations during their travels outside the Air Temples.
There are four locations where the Air Nomads live known as Air Temples. These temples are: The Northern, The Southern, The Eastern and The Western Air Temples. The Eastern and Western Temples primarily housed female monks and airbenders while the Northern and Southern Temples housed the male monks. Although, regardless of their sex children of all kinds were welcome at every temple.
The philosophy of spirituality the Air Nomads follow dates back to an Air Nomad guru and poet known as Guru Laghima. His philosophy states that to reach complete enlightenment one must completely detach themselves from earthly desires and become on with spirituality itself. His famous quote being “Let go of your earthly tether, empty and become wind.” It is even said that he was able to achieve true enlightenment and completely detach himself from earthly desires and learn how to fly.
The other end of the coin and Laghima’s opposing and less popular philosophical ideology was introduced by Guru Shoken. He proposed that to reach true enlightenment, one must not only question themselves but question enlightenment itself. He implied that to achieve enlightenment, to acquire all the answers you seek may result in further greed which would pull you further away from true enlightenment. Shoken’s ideology however, wasn't looked kindly upon and disregarded as heresy. Miniscule amount of sources remain from his writings.
Throughout the centuries, the Air Nomads remained peaceful and harmonious with the outside world with very few organized individuals attempting to cut ties with the rest of the world completely. The political structure of the Air Nomads revolves around the Council of Elders where
the wisest and oldest Air Nomads would semi-govern according to Air Nomad tradition. Although they weren’t present at every temple at all times, Head monks or abbots (at the Northern and Southern Temples) and individuals known as Mother Superiors (at the Eastern and Western Temples) assisted them in governing the temples.

- (a) a quarterstaff or (b) two daggers or (c) 20 arrows and a light bow

- Air nomad silk robes
Being of Air Nomad lineage, you also gain the followwing abilities:
Negative Jing
Air Nomad tradition implores you to practice pacifism at all times. Growing up with or studying this belief has taught you to instead flow with opposition rather than resist it. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash or Disengage.
Twinkletoes
You can nimbly dodge out of the way of attacks. When an attack or technique hits you:
- If it is a technique: You can switch the required Saving Throw into a Dexterity Saving Throw with the DC being their Bending Save DC. On a success you take no damage and on a fail you take half damage
- If it is an attack: You can make an Acrobatics Check vs the attack roll to reduce the damage by half.
Creating a Character with Air Nomads Lineage
First thing to consider when making a character of Air Nomad lineage, first consider the sex of your character. Are you male or female? If your character is male you are either from the Northen or Southern temple and if your are female your are either of Eastern or Western temple, however your character may not be confined to these temples. If you live at a different temple, why are you there and what is your purpose? Perhaps you are there to be a teacher, head Abbot or head Monk? Perhaps you are there on diplomatic connections between temples.
Once you have your temple of origin set, next comes your connection to the nomadic teachings. Are you deeply invested in the teachings and live by them word for word or were you deeply invested and no longer are? Perhaps throughout your time at the temple you accidentally desecrated life and was extradited from the temple or maybe you willingly desecrated life out of curiosity. Once your left your temple did you break bad and decide to kill instead of being a pacifist? Do you choose to resolve conflict through dialogue or have you changed your nomadic ways and choose violence? Perhaps you joined a daofei organization or some other underground organization. Maybe you are on a diplomatic mission to establish stronger ties with the other temples or other nations. Maybe you are an emissary or representative of your temple?
Important Note: If you are trying stay true to the lore of Avatar I must note that all individuals of Air Nomad lineage are airbenders. Thus you can't be an Air Nomad and not be a bender. However, you can choose a different lineage and adopt the Air Nomad doctrine.
Fighting Styles (Classes)

Weaponsmasters are versatile and clever individuals. In a world where bending is the dominant force, they use their intelligence, wisdom, speed and strength to strike down their opponents. Underestimating a Weaponsmaster could prove to be a grievous mistake.

Adapted Fighting
Benders are strong, thus you have adapted your combat style to be on an equal playing field with them.

- Focused Fighting: You gain advantage on your next attack roll.
- Daze: On a hit, the creature must make a Constitution Saving Throw. On a fail, the creature you attacked has disadvantage on attack rolls until their next turn
- Disarm: On a hit, the creature must make a Strength Saving Throw vs your Save DC. On a fail, the creature you attacked drops their weapon or can’t use their bending on Opportunity Attacks.
- Sweep the Leg: On a hit, the creature must make a Strength Saving Throw vs your Save DC or be knocked prone.
Each creature can only be affected with one ailment per turn.
At level 10, you can use Adapted Fighting on attacks you make with your reaction.
You regain all your Combat Expertise Points after you finish a long rest.
Journeyman’s Lesson
Throughout your adventures you keep your mind keen to learn and improve yourself. At 1st level, you can choose a basic Fighting Technique from the list above. Every 3 levels, you can choose to get a new Basic Fighting Technique, swap a Fighting Technique that you already use with another Basic Fighting Technique or level up an existing one to Trained. You can not level up Fighting Techniques to Master using Journeyman’s Lesson. To level up a Fighting Technique to Master, you must find a master trained in that Fighting Technique and complete their lesson, guidance, request, quest, lesson etc. You can look at the Fighting Techniques on the Fighting Techniques section.
Universal Techniques
Starting at level 1, you can learn 2 techniques from the Universal Techniques list under Bending Techniques. Everytime you level up, you can swap out 1 technique for another, you can not have 2 of the same technique. You can use these techniques a number of times that is shown in the Known Techniques Slots column.
At level 6, you can choose 1 more technique.
At level 13, you can choose 1 more technique.
Action Surge
Starting at 3rd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level you may increase one of your abilities by 2 points or two of your abilities by 1 point. You can’t increase your abilities above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this class.
Quickdraw
Starting at 7th level, Weaponsmasters can add their proficiency bonus to their initiative. They can also sheathe a weapon and unsheath another as a single object interaction on their turn.
Interrupt
Starting at level 9, if you are within striking distance of a creature that knows bending you can use your reaction or you can spend a Combat Expertise point to attempt to stop the creature from using a technique. Make a Dexterity Check. The DC to interrupt the technique is 10 + 3x(the technique’s level). On a success, you interrupt the creature's attempt and they can not use the chosen technique. On a fail, the creature is able to use the technique.
Superior Critical
Starting at 11th level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18-20.
Survivor
At 15th level, at the start of each of your turns, you regain hit points equal to 5 + your Constitution modifier if you have no more than half of your hit points left. You don't gain this benefit if you have 0 hit points.
Weaponsmaster Build Suggestions
Depending on your weapon of choice, your highest ability score should be the ability modifier your weapon uses (Dexterity for ranged weapons and Strength for melee weapons). Due to the amount of Fighting Techniques available you can mix and match techniques as you level up with Journeyman's Lesson to craft a character suited to your playstyle. That being said, it is wise to focus on one Fighting Technique at a time and Master the Fighting Techniques one by one instead of trying to upgrade all Fighting Techniques at the same time.
You the next ability you should focus on is Constitution. A single bender can deal a lot of damage with a single Bending Technique and you may have trouble fighting against them if you do not have that many hit points. With the Earth Kingdom lineage it is possible to get a great sum of hit points however take into consideration the lineage specific abilities as well. An air nomad weaponsmaster may prove to be more deadly than an earth kingdom citizen due them being harder to land a hit on.
Non-benders are sometimes oppressed and looked over during battle. Consider taking the Bender Bender feat to prove those benders wrong and gain the upper hand against benders in battle. Or maybe take the Alert feat to attempt to go before the benders go. Great Weapon Master and Sharpshooter may also provide you with some extra support and damage against benders.

Tech-Engineer Build Suggestions
Your first ability score your should focus on is the one your chose initially when making the character: Intelligence or Wisdom due to your abilities and contraptions using that ability's modifier. Next consider making Dexterity or Constitution your highest modifier.
Taking a look at Contraptions, I would recommend taking either Cleats or Magnificators as a level 1 choice. At level 3 as a Specialization if you want to upgrade your existing equipment perhaps take either the Armor Specialist or Weapons Specialist. If you want to toy around with your Creative Mind Contraptions consider taking the Gadgeteering Specialist route. If you want to be more up close and personal with your foes, consider following the Multidisciplinary Specialist's path.
Further contraptions you decide to make are of course up to you however I particularly like the Grappling Hook or Pocket Tool for level 5, Battery or Injections for level 11 and the Shock Gauntlet for level 16.
To fight off the benders, consider taking the Weaponsmaster Initiate feat to give you that extra edge in combat.
Benders
Born with the gift of manipulating one of the elements, a bender can only bend one element that is respective of their lineage. If you are from one of the Water Tribes and a bender, you are a Waterbender. Similarly, if your lineage is from the Fire Nation and you are a bender, then you are a Firebender. However this doesn't mean you can not learn the sub-bending types of your lineage, if you follow the correct teachings you can become the Bloodbender or Metalbender you desire.

Using Techniques
The table above shows how many technique slots you have to use your techniques of Practiced level and higher. To use one of your techniques, you must expend a slot of the techniques level or 2 slots from a lower level. You regain all expended technique slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare your list of techniques that are available for you to use, choosing from your respective Elemental Technique list or the Universal Technique ist (i.e Waterbender chooses techniques from the Waterbending or Universal Technique List). When you do so, you can choose up to a number of techniques that is respective of your level. For example, if you are level 5 you can prepare up to 6 techniques each time you take a long rest. Techniques that you know at a higher level than Practiced remain at that level even if you don't prepare them for that day. However if you have a technique that you are currently training and you don't prepare it for that day, that technique will be removed from your training slot and will not level up until you complete your training. You can continue your training from where you left off once you prepare it once more.
Waterbending
You are Proficient in Waterbending and your Bending Ability is Charisma. Due to the triple nature of water - ice, water and steam- you may roll an additional Charisma Check (DC Equal to your Save DC) at any point on your turn to modify the water you control in your attacks. If a bending ability specifies water but you change the form of it, talk it over with your GM to see what happens. Be creative with water, things that you may not think would work might work.
As a waterbender you naturally need water to make attacks, use abilities and techniques. Throughout your adventure you will come across different sources of water that may be similar to these listed below:
- Small Water Sources: Waterskin, Small Barrels, Puddles, Slight Rain etc.
- Medium Water Sources: Large Waterskins, Medium Barrels (2 Small Barrels), Large Puddles, Rain etc.
- Large Water Sources: Large Barrels (2 Medium Barrels), Heavy Rain, Ponds, Seas, Oceans etc.
- 1 Large Source = 2 Medium Sources, 1 Medium Source = 2 Small Sources
Should you choose to do a basic attack with waterbending without using a technique, you can do so by rolling a Bending Attack Roll adding your Bending Attack Modifier to the roll. On a hit you deal for 1d8 + your Charisma Modifier damage.
Basic Attack Damage: 1d8 + your Charisma Modifier
Elemental Affinity Saving Throw: Charisma
Bending Save DC: 8 + Proficiency Modifier + Charisma Modifier
Bending Attack Modifier: Proficiency Modifier + Charisma Modifier
Flow
Starting at level 1, you can use Waterbending Techniques that aren't classified as Bloodbending. If you are using a Waterbending Technique that requires concentration you can make a Charisma Check with a DC equal to your Spell Save DC. On a success, without breaking concentration you can use a different technique that also requires concentration. On a concentration check, make a Charisma Saving Throw instead for each technique with a DC equal to half of the damage you take - unless specified otherwise. On a fail, you lose concentration of that technique and on a success you maintain concentration of that technique. You may only concentrate on 2 techniques at once, if you attempt to concentrate on a 3rd you break concentration on whichever you used first. If you fall unconscious or become incapacitated you immediately drop concentration in both techniques. After you willingly break concentration of both techniques, you gain a point of exhaustion.
Naturally, your waterbending extinguishes fire however Raging Fire can not be extinguished with 1 action.
Additionally, you can also choose to change the state of matter of water to ice or to (hot or cold) vapor. Whenever you choose to do so, make a Charisma Check. On a 10 or higher you are able to change the form and on a 9 or lower you can’t. If you change it into ice, deal an additional damage die of that waterbending technique or attack. If you change it into vapor, you deal 2 less damage die of the technique or attack but the creature you attack gets disadvantage on their next Saving Throw. Techniques that require concentration no longer require concentration if you change the state to ice.
Finally, you can also do the following abilities as an action:
-
Part Water: You can cause water in an area to move apart and create a trench. The trench extends across an area of maximum 30ft, and the separated water forms a wall to either side. The trench remains until you break concentration or you choose a different effect. The water then slowly fills in the trench over the course of the next round until the normal water level is restored.
At 5th level, maximum trench distance becomes 60ft.
At 10th level, maximum trench distance becomes 150ft.
At 15th level, maximum trench distance becomes 300ft. -
Redirect Flow: You cause flowing water in the area to move in a direction you choose, even if the water has to flow over obstacles, up walls, or in other unlikely directions. The water in the area moves as you direct it, but once it moves beyond the abilities area, it resumes its flow based on the terrain conditions. The water continues to move in the direction you chose until you break concentration or you choose a different effect. Make a Charisma Check before you use this ability to see how well you can bend it.
-
Filter Water: You can concentrate up to 1 minute to cleanse a source of water of earth and make it drinkable.
-
Manipulate Vapor: You can concentrate for up to 30 minutes and manipulate any vapor you can see within 120 ft of you into any shape, place or form you want.
Shape Water
You choose an area of water that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways and it happens instantaneously:
- You instantaneously move or otherwise change the flow of the water as you direct, up to 5 feet in any direction. This movement doesn’t have enough force to cause damage.
- You cause the water to form into simple shapes and animate at your direction. This change lasts for 1 hour.
- You freeze the water, provided that there are no creatures in it. The water unfreezes in 1 hour.
If you use this ability multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
Waterbending Teachings
When you reach level 3, you can choose a teaching best suited for your waterbending style.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level you may increase one of your abilities by 2 points or two of your abilities by 1 point. You can’t increase your abilities above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Tidal Efficiency
Through time you have learned to efficiently use water in situations where water isn’t present. When you hit level 5, you are now able to treat abilities that require medium water sources as small water sources.
At level 14, you can treat large water sources as medium water sources.
Rare Techniques
Starting at level 8, you can now attempt to learn Rare Techniques
Oceanic Master
Flow like water and cut like ice. When you hit level 11, when you choose to change the form of the water to ice or steam you can choose to re-roll your dice on a Charisma Check. You must use the new roll. You can do this on 3 rolls and they replenish whenever you complete a long rest.
At level 16, you can do this 5 times before requiring a long rest.
Call of the Waves
Your connection to the water and ocean has heightened and now you feel the Ocean Spirit La’s presence at all times. At level 19, you can use the air of the climate you are in to generate a water source. Regardless of the weather dryness of the climate, you have an infinite water source of that kind:
- Wet Climate: Large Water Source
- Moderately Wet Climate: Medium Water Source
- Dry Climate: Small Water Source
- Extremely Dry Climate: Small Water Source
Waterbending Teachings
Path of the Waterbender
Ebb
Starting at level 3 you feel the spiritual energy of the seas and the moon flow within you. When you use a Waterbending Technique, if you use the same body of water twice you can reroll an attack or you can reroll the damage of the technique, you must use the new roll.
Fluidity
Fluidity in combat is one of the greatest strengths of a waterbender. Starting at level 7, you have advantage on Charisma Checks that are related to shifting water to ice or vapor.
Cutting Edge
Furthering your mastery, you can now create sharper icicles while waterbending. Starting at level 10, whenever you change the state of water to ice instead of rolling 1 additional damage die, you can roll 2.
At level 13, you can roll 3 additional damage dice.
La’s Calling
Your mastery of waterbending has strengthened your bond with the ocean spirit La. Starting at level 18, once per long rest you can use a Trained level Waterbending Technique at Mastered level.
Path of the Healer
Energy Balancing
Starting at level 3, you have a number of d6 dice equal to your level. When you heal a creature with a Technique or as a bonus action by using Energy Balancing, you can choose to spend at most half of your dice pool to heal them for additional hit points. Roll the dice and add them together. The target regains a number of hit points equal to the dice total + your Charisma Modifier. If you are using a Technique, the target regains a number of additional hit points equal to the total of the rolls.
At level 10, when you heal a creature on a creature you can either clear poison effects or unblock chi paths if you previously knew if they were poisoned or blocked. If you previously didn’t know that the creature had been poisoned or had blocked chi paths, you have to make a Charisma Check vs the DC of the poison or blocked chi path when you heal a creature. Additionally, you gain proficiency in the Healer’s Kit.
Water Swell
You extend an arm of healing water to those in need. When you hit level 7, you can heal creatures within 30 ft of you by extending an arm of water towards them. When you use Water Swell you ignore abilities or techniques that have a range limit below 30ft, and can heal creatures within 30ft of you.
At level 13, you can heal creatures within 60 ft of you.
Field Medic
Your practice of healing has pushed you to learn how to heal even in the most dangerous situations. When you hit level 15, you can use any Waterbending Technique to heal a creature in range of Water Swell. The damage of the technique is converted to healing + your Charisma Modifier.
Body Heat Manipulation
Even when faced with death, you can stabilize the worst of cases. When you hit level 18, you can manipulate the body temperature of a creature.
- If you use this on a creature with 0 HP to heal, bring them back to life with 1 HP.
- If you use this on a creature with 0 HP to damage, automatically fail their death saving throws and kill them.
- If you use this on a creature with more than 1 HP:
The creature must make a Charisma Saving Throw (if they’re a waterbender) or Constitution Saving Throw (if they aren’t). On a fail, the creature's remaining hit points are halved and its Paralyzed. On a success, the creature’s remaining hit points drop by a quarter.
At the start of their next turn, the creature can make a Charisma Saving Throw (if they’re a waterbender) or Constitution Saving Throw (if they aren’t). On a fail, the creature remains paralyzed. On a success, the paralysis ends and they have disadvantage on skill checks, saving throws and attack rolls. You can use Body Heat Manipulation twice before requiring a long rest. You gain a point of exhaustion each time you use Body Heat Manipulation.
Path of the Bloodbender
Hematopoiesis
Starting at level 3, you can use Bloodbending Techniques, Waterbending Techniques and can bloodbend. You gain resistance to poison effects. Additionally as an action, you can use water around you to heal yourself for 1d6 + your Charisma Modifier. Every time you heal, clear a point of exhaustion. You can not heal while you have all of your hit points.
At level 7, your healing dice becomes a d8. You become Proficient in Bloodbending and you can now bloodbend when there is a half moon.
At level 13, your healing dice becomes a d12. You can bloodbend without requiring the moon. However you can only bend at night.
Chi Clotting
Starting at Level 7, you can attempt to block the chi path of a creature within 5ft of you.
Each limb has 3 chi points. As an action, you can attempt to block 2 chi points. For each chi point you want to block, if your target is a Bloodbender they can make a Charisma Saving Throw to resist; IIf they aren’t a Bloodbender but a Waterbender then you must make a Charisma Check vs their Bending DC. If they are neither, then the ability just takes effect. Successfully clotted chi points remain clotted for 20 minutes.
For Arms:
- If you block 1 chi point, the target isn’t affected.
- If you block 2 chi points, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls.
- If you block 3 chi points, the target can only attempt to Unarmed Strike using that arm and can not bend using that arm.
- If you block both arms, the target can only attempt to Unarmed Strike at disadvantage.
For Legs:
- If you block 1 chi point, the target isn’t affected.
- If you block 2 chi points, the target has disadvantage on Saving Throws.
- If you block 3 chi points, the target uses twice their movement per 5ft and can not bend using that arm.
- If you block both legs, the target falls prone and remains prone until the Chi Clotting effect ends.
For every 3 chi points you block, gain a level of exhaustion.
At level 15, the number of chi points you can block increases to 6.
Puppeteer
Starting at level 10, you can move any creature that you see that is affected or has been affected by your Bloodbending in the last hour to a location within 60 ft of you. Additionally, you can use a creature that is currently under your Bloodbending effect to attack or Grapple another creature. If the creature is using a weapon, you must roll for an attack in place of the affected creature adding your Bending Attack Modifier to the die. On hit, the normal damage of the weapon applies. If the creature isn’t using a weapon (i.e bender), the creature makes an unarmed strike.
You also gain advantage on Intimidation checks towards creatures that are or have been affected by your Bloodbending in the last 24 hours. This ability has a range of 50 ft. Each time you use Puppeteer you gain a point of exhaustion.
Psychic Bloodbending
Starting at level 18, you gain a point of exhaustion for every 2 Bloodbending Techniques or abilities you use instead of after 1 technique or ability. You can now use any Bloodbending technique or ability without the required Somatic component, meaning that you can bloodbend with your mind. Additionally, you can Bloodbend in daylight.
Waterbending Build Suggestions
Waterbenders are charismatic by nature and they use Charisma as their Bending Ability. Thus your highest ability score should be Charisma regardless of your Waterbending Fighting Style. Next, I would recommend Dexterity or Strength. Due to your Flow ability, the Soldier feat will help you a lot on your adventures so don't forget to pick it up along the way.
Path of The Waterbender is basically the warrior path for waterbending. Thus, high damage output could be looked upon as more favorable.
Path of the Healer is a (and I can not stress this enough) essential and necessary part of any party. Due to characters not being able to be revived once they are dead, you are the lifeline that keeps everyone alive. Although you can heal creatures for a good portion with Energy Balancing, perhaps you might want to take some offensive techniques to maximize the healing you do through Field Medic.
Finally, Path of the Bloodbender is the most lethal and physically taxing class. A bloodbender is extremely lethal however every technique and ability you use will cause you to gain a point of exhaustion. Thus, you may want to use it only when absolutely necessary. Perhaps take more water based bending techniques rather than taking mostly bloodbending techniques.
Earthbending
You are Proficient in Earthbending and your Bending Ability is Constitution. When you use a bending ability, if you are directly effecting a target make a Bending Attack Roll. Should you choose to do a basic attack with earthbending, metalbending or lavabending without using a bending technique, you can do so by rolling a Bending Attack Roll adding your Bending Attack Modifier to the roll. On a hit you deal 1d8 + your Constitution Modifier bludgeoning damage.
Basic Attack Damage: 1d8 + your Constitution Modifier
Elemental Affinity Saving Throw: Constitution
Bending Save DC: 8 + Proficiency Modifier + Constitution Modifier
Bending Attack Modifier: Proficiency Modifier + Constitution Modifier
Grounded
You are naturally drawn to the call of the land. Starting at level 1, you can bend any Earthbending Technique that has the “Ranged” property in a 35 ft radius sphere centered on you. This is your maximum bending range. You can still bend abilities that have a range increment larger than your bending range however you can only bend them at your maximum Grounded range. You can not bend beyond the range of Grounded.
At level 5, radius is increased to 60 ft.
At level 10, radius is increased to 100 ft.
At level 15, radius is increased to 120 ft.
As a bonus action you can move earth that has been artificially created in any direction within your range.
Additionally, you also gain the following abilities within you grounded bending range:
- Terrain Creator: Earth you create remains in place unless manipulated by nature or another earthbender.
- Material Manipulation: Earthbending is not limited to rock or soil alone. An earthbender can also manipulate coal, gems, crystals, chalk, salt and other earth-based materials, like meteorites and jennamite.
- Earthen Hut: As an action, jut out two slabs that cross each other to create shelter if needed. The maximum area of the hut can be 30 x 30 ft.
Move Earth
Starting at level 1, as a bonus action you can move up to 10ft cubed of earth, sand, crystal or clay (if your a metalbender or lavabender, metal and lava as well) to any location within your Grounded bending range. It is considered a projectile. If you move it to an occupied location, all affected creatures must make an Elemental Affinity Saving Throw. On a fail, they take 1d8 + your Constitution Modifier bludgeoning damage per 5ft cubed of earth you hit them with.
Earthbenders can attempt to stop the Earth you move by making a Constitution Check vs your Save DC. On a fail, they take full damage however on a success they take no damage. The amount of Earth you can move increases by 10ft cubed each time your Grounded bending range increases.
Earthbending Tradition
When you reach level 3, you can choose a tradition best suited for your earthbending style.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level you may increase one of your abilities by 2 points or two of your abilities by 1 point. You can’t increase your abilities above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Rare Techniques
Starting at level 8, you can now attempt to learn Rare Techniques
Neutral Jing
Starting at level 5, you have advantage on your Saving Throws against any creature that takes their turn before you in the initiative order.
Additionally, attacks you make by using your reaction have advantage.
Resilient
Hold your ground even against formidable force. Starting at level 11, whenever you are knocked prone you can use your reaction and choose to make a Constitution Saving Throw vs the attack roll, Athletics Check or Save DC of the technique. On a success, you aren’t knocked prone.
Earthbending Traditions
Tradition of Earthbending
Terrain Engineer
Starting at level 3 any area that is considered difficult terrain doesn’t affect you. Additionally, as a bonus action you can transform any patch of land within your Grounded bending radius into difficult terrain. The patch of difficult terrain has a maximum of 10 ft diameter.
Reflect Missiles
Waiting for the perfect moment to strike is at the core of Earthbending and you fight by such principles. Starting at level 7, you can use your reaction to attempt to send a projectile that you can bend, back at a creature. Whenever you do so, you take 1d6 + your Constitution Modifier + your Earthbending level less damage from the projectile and send it back at a creature. The projectile counts as a basic attack and you must roll for a new attack for the projectile, on hit the damage is increased by an amount equal to the roll above.
My Turf
Starting at level 15 if there is difficult terrain in your Grounded bending radius you can further vandalize that patch of land and turn it into Hard Terrain. Creatures on hard terrain, in addition to the negativities of difficult terrain, have disadvantage on their Saving Throws if they are on the ground. Creatures that are flying aren’t affected by Hard Terrain.
Additionally, whenever you apply difficult terrain to terrain that is already difficult terrain the terrain instantly becomes hard terrain.
Additionally, you are no longer affected by difficult terrain.
Badgermole’s Endurance
At 18th level, once per long rest if you are ever reduced to 0 hit points you can use your reaction to instead drop to 1 hit point. Additionally, you gain advantage against effects that would paralyze, stun or make you unconscious.
Tradition of Metalbending
To choose this Earthbending Tradition, You must forgo one use of you Ability Score Improvements feature however your gain the Seismic Sense feat.
Refined Earth
Starting at level 3, you can use Metalbending Techniques in addition to Earthbending Techniques and can bend metal you can see around you within range of Grounded however you can not bend Platinum or other highly refined metals. To make basic attacks with Metalbending you must have metal you can see within range of Grounded. You can also fuse and disconnect pieces of metal that are no more than 4 ft apart and if metal is available, you can choose to use Metalbending or Earthbending Techniques at your leisure.
At level 7, you become Proficient in Metalbending and can now bend metal at a distance equal to half of your Grounded bending range.
At level 13, you can now bend metal within you entire Grounded bending range.
Iron Will
Starting at level 10, you can now also integrate metal into any armor that you wear over the course of a short rest. Integration of the metal requires no tools however you do require at least 1 Metal Sheet component to integrate metal into the armor you wear. You can integrate up to 2 Metal Sheets into your armor. While metal is integrated into your armor you are vulnerable to lightning damage but resistant to heat damage and your AC increases by 1 for each Metal Sheet integrated. You can use the integrated metal to use Metalbending Techniques, however each technique uses 1/4 of the metal sheet. If you use 4 Metalbending Techniques you will lose 1 AC bonus given by the Metal Sheets until the end of combat.
Additionally, you no longer have disadvantage on Stealth Checks when you are wearing Heavy Armor.
Fleetfooted Earthbending
Starting at level 15, three times per long rest you can add your proficiency bonus to a Saving Throw you are not already proficient in. You gain the ability to transform liquid metal into solid metal and vice versa. Additionally, you can use one of your charges to force a creature to reroll their saving throw against a Metalbending Technique. They must use the new roll.
Metallurgy
Starting at level 18, you can extract elements of metal from nearby earth around you. As a bonus action you can use Metallurgy to create bendable metal to use in your Techniques. You can use Metallurgy twice per long rest.
Tradition of Lavabending
Melt
Starting at level 3, you can use Lavabending Techniques in addition to Earthbending Techniques and you can bend lava. You gain the ability to manipulate the state of earth from solid to magma and -vice versa- giving you the ability to shift earth and Earthbending Techniques into lava and Lavabending Techniques. To do so, roll a Constitution Check each time. The DC of the Constitution Check is 10 + 1 per 5ft of earth or lava. On a success, you are able to shift the phase state of earth and on a fail you can’t. If you are attempting to solidify lavabending attacks made by a bender, the DC you have to make is their Bending Save DC.
Any attack you make with lava bending deals fire damage instead of bludgeoning damage. This also applies to Earthbending Techniques that you have manipulated into lava.
Lava Pool
Starting at level 7, as an action you can create pools of lava anywhere within your Grounded bending range. The pools of lava can cover a total of 15 ft and each lava tile must be connected to at least 1 other tile (except for the first tile created). Creatures that walk through the tiles with lava take 1d10 fire damage per 5ft traveled. If a creature starts or ends their turn on lava they take 2d10 fire damage. You can use Lava Pool twice per short rest.
At level 13, as an action you can cover up to a total of 25 ft. Additionally, twice per short rest as a bonus action you can extend the range of any pool of lava you can see within your Grounded bending range by 10ft.
Fluid Motion
Starting at level 10, as an action when you are going to use a Lavabending Technique you can instead choose a Waterbending Technique that isn't a rare technique. You ignore the requirement of water sources when you use that technique. Anything affected by the Waterbending Technique takes fire damage instead of bludgeoning damage.
At level 15, you can choose rare Waterbending Techniques as well.
Hot Spot
Starting at level 18, you have advantage on all attacks and can reroll 1's on technique damages against creatures standing in or within 5 ft range of a lava pool.
Earthbending Styles Build Suggestions
As an Earthbender you have to be sure footed. Constitution should be your highest modifier. Next, I would recommend Strength or Dexterity. Perhaps take the Tough feat to boost your hit point maximum and become the face-tank of the team. On the other hand you may choose to go more damage oriented, perhaps the Sharpshooter feat may prove useful when chucking rocks at your foes.
In general, Earthbending Traditions are extremely neutral and do not pull in any particular direction on the damage - no damage scale. You can build any Earthbender with any Tradition to deal high damages or to cause difficulties for your opponent by manipulating the terrain, giving yourself and your team the upper hand. Choose your Bending Techniques according to what you want to focus on. I would recommend altering the terrain and giving your foes a hard time, hence do what Earthbenders do best.
Firebending
You are Proficient in Firebending and your Bending Ability is Strength. Should you choose to do a basic attack with Firebending without using a bending ability, you can do so by rolling a Bending Attack Roll adding your Bending Attack Modifier to the roll. On a hit you deal 1d10 + your Strength Modifier fire damage, on a crit the target is inflamed.
Basic Attack: 1d10 + your Strength Modifier
Elemental Affinity Saving Throw: Strength
Bending Save DC: 8 + Proficiency Modifier + Strength Modifier
Bending Attack Modifier: Proficiency Modifier + Strength Modifier
The Flame Within
The source of one's firebending originates from a burning purpose or massive gut from within. Starting at level 1, You can’t be affected by cold temperatures however freezing temperatures do affect you. You can produce flame from your hands and ignite torches at will. The flames you produce shed bright light for 10 ft and dim light for an additional 10 ft. You can also ignite torches by using this. Additionally, you can also create minor flames that are no larger than campfire flames that deal no damage to anything in its surroundings.
Naturally, your firebending melts ice or evaporates water that aren't being bent.
Dragon’s Blessing
Starting at level 1 whenever you make an attack with Firebending, if the target flammable, your attacks set the target on fire. The target can extinguish themselves by spending a bonus action at the start of their turn, extinguishing the flame deals 1d4 fire damage to them. If the target doesn’t extinguish the fire, the target takes 1d10 fire damage at the end of their turn.
At level 5, extinguishing the flames now deals 1d6 fire damage to the target. You gain advantage on Intimidation Checks against creatures who are on fire.
At level 14, you can use your bonus action to pressurize the flame before using a technique to deal an additional damage die of the technique.
At level 20, the target must make a Constitution Saving Throw (vs your Bending Save DC) at the start of their turn or lose their entire turn.
Action Surge
Starting at 2nd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Starting at 16th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.
Firebending Principle
When you reach level 3, you can choose a firebending principle best suited for your firebending style.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level you may increase one of your abilities by 2 points or two of your abilities by 1 point. You can’t increase your abilities above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Evasion
Starting at 5th level, you can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a water jet stream or a technique. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make an Elemental Affinity Saving Throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Rare Techniques
Starting at level 8, you can now attempt to learn Rare Techniques
Firebending Principles
Principles of the Firebender
Positive Jing
Advance and attack whenever you see an opening. Starting at level 3, whenever a creature you can see fails a saving throw you can use your reaction to make an attack against them. You have advantage on the attack roll.
Jet Stepping
Beginning at level 7, you can use fire to boost your mobility around the battlefield. As a bonus action you can create jets of flame beneath your feet to give yourself extra movement. When you activate jet stepping you can either gain +10 walking speed or +20 flying speed but not both.
Dragon’s Flame
Starting at level 10, if a flammable target is already inflamed when you make a basic attack or use a Firebending Technique on it, the fire becomes a Raging Fire. Dragon’s Blessing’s end of turn fire damage becomes 2d10 for targets that have Raging Fire applied on them. You can manually make Raging Fires twice before requiring a long rest.
At level 15, the damage becomes 3d10 and you can manually make it 4 times before. Additionally, an inflamed target must spend an action to extinguish the fires.
Eternal Flame
At level 18, fires you create can only be put out by Benders equal or greater in level than you.
Principles of the Combustionbender
Telekinetic Firebending
The volatility and tranquility of Combustionbending has drawn you in and you choose to brand yourself with a focusing sigil. Starting at level 1, you can use Combustionbending to attack alongside Firebending and Firebending Techniques. Attacks you make with Combustionbending deal 1d10 + your Strength Modifier thunder damage. Your Combustionbending attacks can travel to a maximum range of 60 ft and each attack you make has an explosion radius of 5 ft centered at the point of impact. If you are hit on your focusing sigil, you are unable to use Combustionbending attacks or Techniques for 5 minutes.
At level 5, you can now use Combustionbending Techniques. Your Combustionbending attacks and techniques that have the Ranged property can now travel to a maximum 100 ft.
At level 13, your Combustionbending attacks and techniques that have the Ranged property can now travel to a maximum 150 ft.
At level 18, your Combustionbending attacks and techniques that have the Ranged property can now travel to a maximum of 300 ft.
Collateral Damage
Starting at level 7, deal double damage against terrain that is in reach of your Combustionbending attacks and Techniques. If there is a creature behind a piece of terrain you destroy, the creature takes half damage from the attack or Technique regardless if they succeed on the saving throw.

Starting at level 10, you can now curve your Combustionbending attacks and Techniques behind terrain. Creatures that have total cover bonus instead have ¾ cover bonus against your attacks and creatures with ¾ cover bonus have half cover bonus against your attacks. Creatures with half cover bonus lose their cover bonus against your attacks.
At level 15, creatures with ¾ cover instead don’t get any cover bonus and creatures with total cover only get half cover bonus against your Combustionbending attacks and techniques
Sparky Sparky Boom Boom
Starting at level 18, you can manipulate the stream of combustion to travel faster or be more impactful. Before you make a Combustionbending attack or Technique you can choose to:
- Make the beam travel faster, giving the creature you attack disadvantage on their Saving Throw against that Technique.
- Give more combustive energy into the beam, dealing an extra 1d10 + your Bending Attack Bonus on the attack or Technique.
- Create a larger combustive energy beam, increasing the explosion radius of the attack or Technique by 5ft.
You can use Sparky Sparky Boom Boom twice per long rest.
Firebending Styles Build Suggestions
As cunning as you are lethal, Firebenders can dish out high damage in a short period of time. Strength should be your highest ability score as it is your bending ability. Next I would recommend either Dexterity or Constitution so you can have some semblance of survivability.
If you end up choosing Principles of Firebending your opponents may attempt to take cover against your attacks due to your high damage output, thus I would recommend taking the Precise Bender feat to snuff out everyone behind cover. Combined with the National Teachings feat you will become a force of nature nobody wants a taste of.
Principle of the Combustionbender, is a powerful sub-bending fighting style. That being said, chosing that principle intially or multiclassing into Combustionbending should be a massive turning point for your character due to the fact that Combustionbending requires much more focus compared to traditional Firebending. However, assuming you are or have levels invested in Combustionbending, alongside the previously mentioned feats consider taking the Resilient feat or the Observant, Alert feats. As a Combustionbender, being aware of your surroundings proves to be a powerful tool.
If you chose Principles of the Firebender, you may want to learn Lightningbending as it is a devastatingly powerful weapon. Thus, whenever you can consider taking feats associated with lightningbending. However, if you chose Principles of the Combustionbender you may not require lightningbending as you are already a force to be reckoned with.
Airbending
You are Proficient in Airbending and your Bending Ability is Wisdom. Should you choose to do a basic attack with airbending without using a bending technique, you can do so by rolling a Bending Attack Roll adding your Bending Attack Modifier to the roll. On a hit you deal 1d6 + your Wisdom Modifier thunder damage.
As an Airbender, you use your Wisdom modifier for some of your class and subclass features. However, with your GM’s permission, you can choose to instead use your Dexterity Modifier for your Elemental Affinity Saving Throw, Basic Attack and Bending Save DC.
Basic Attack Damage: 1d6 + Wisdom Modifier
Elemental Affinity Saving Throw: Wisdom
Bending Save DC: 8 + Proficiency Modifier + Wisdom Modifier
Bending Attack Modifier: Proficiency Modifier + Wisdom Modifier
Spiritual Maledict
Airbenders are individuals that have a strong connection to nature, the spirits and their higher self. It's been documented on many occasions that an Airbender which strays away from their spiritual self becomes a weaker airbender, needing assistance with other equipment such as staffs or war fans to achieve their previous strength. Conducting such maledicts listed below over time can weaken your airbending so be careful:
- Willingly killing a creature or plant.
- Disrupting the balance of the world through evil acts.
- Not assisting those who require aid unless you know that they aren't telling the truth.
If you're airbending ever weakens, meditating or conducting acts that are considered good will assist in reaching your previous strength.
Meditation
Spiritual practice is found at the core of airbending practice. Meditation allows you to further connect to your spiritual self and achieve enlightenment. Starting at level 1, every long rest you can choose to meditate. When you meditate, you won’t get your Technique slots back; however after you meditate, the following day your Wisdom Modifier increases by 1.
At level 5, while you meditate you can assist one other creature into meditation and allow them to further connect to their spiritual self. Creatures that meditate with you do not have their Technique Slots replenished; however for the next 24 hours they have their Wisdom Modifier increased by 1. Any creature's Wisdom Modifier can not be increased to no more than 6. The modifier benefit doesn’t stack if you meditate more than once within 24 hours.
At level 11, you can assist two other creatures into meditation, also increasing their Wisdom Modifier by 1.
At level 16, you can assist three other creatures into meditation, also increasing their Wisdom Modifier by 2. You can now meditate during a short rest. Your Wisdom Modifier can not be increased no more than 7.
Gust
Starting at level 1, at any moment you can seize the air and compel it to create one of the following effects at a point you can see within range:
- One Medium or smaller creature that you choose must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 5 feet away from you.
- You create a small blast of air capable of moving one object that is neither held nor carried and that weighs no more than 10 pounds. The object is pushed up to 10 feet away from you. It isn’t pushed with enough force to cause damage.
- You create a harmless sensory effect using air, such as causing leaves to rustle, wind to slam shutters shut, or your clothing to ripple in a breeze.
Temperature Regulation
You innately know how to regulate your body temperature through your breathing. Starting at level 1, you can’t be affected by extremely hot, hot, cold or freezing temperatures. Additionally, whenever you use an airbending technique you can control the temperature of it, potentially solidifying liquid objects or melting ice to water.
Extension of Body
Starting at level 1, you can use certain weapons as an extension of your airbending. You can use staffs, pikes, whips and war fans as an extension of your airbending. Whenever you do so, you gain +10 ft of range on that technique or ability.
Spiritual Companion (Optional)
All airbenders create a life-long bond of friendship with a flying bison. Starting at level 1, you have a flying bison that counts as your animal companion. During combat, your companion has the same initiative order as you and you can command them to do something as a bonus action. The flying bison can be of Medium (baby flying bison), Large (young flying bison) or Huge (adult flying bison) size - your choice.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level you may increase one of your abilities by 2 points or two of your abilities by 1 point. You can’t increase your abilities above 20 using this feature.
Feather Fall
Starting at 4th level, you can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to five times your Airbender level. If you want to, you can choose to suspend yourself at a specific height while falling by making a Wisdom Check with DC equal to 10 + (1 point per 10 feet you have already fallen).
Mastery Tattoos (Optional)
Whenever you Master a technique, you can choose to tattoo your body with traditional airbending tattoos if you know someone that knows a way to tattoo them.
Stillness of Mind
Starting at 7th level, you can use your action to end the frightened effect on yourself.
At level 12, you can use your bonus action to clear the frightened effect on yourself and you can spend an action to clear the frightened effect on a creature that has meditated with you within 24 hours.
Rare Techniques
Starting at level 8, you can now attempt to learn Rare Techniques
Quick Reflexes
Starting at level 10, you can add your Wisdom Modifier to your initiative roll.
Last Resort
Patience can be found plentifully within you, however running out of it may prove to be a grave mistake for your foes. Starting at level 11, if you have not damaged a creature (regardless if it is a plant, animal, spirit etc.) for 2 consecutive rounds, when you make an attack or use a technique on your 3rd turn, double the dice you get for your damage roll.
At level 15, you can triple the dice from your damage roll.
Another Path
Starting at level 18, as a reaction you can use any technique.
Airbending Styles Build Suggestions
When playing an airbender consider making your Wisdom score your highest score due to it being you Bending Ability. Next, I would recommend Dexterity or Charisma. Due to airbenders primarily resolving conflict through dialogue, Charisma will give you that extra push to make good conversation while Dexterity will give you extra survivability whenever conflict is necessary.
Consider taking the Fortuneteller, Observant or Spiritual Projection feats. With them, you could easily transport your consciousness elsewhere and tell clearly when others aren't telling the truth.

Creatures within 5 ft of you must make a Charisma Saving Throw (if they are a waterbender) or an Elemental Affinity Saving Throw (if they aren’t). On a fail, they are pushed back 10 ft and take 3d8 bludgeoning damage. On a success, they only take half damage. The water spout acts as a large water source and can only be cast when there is a large water source. While active, you can move into spaces of other creatures. If a creature starts or ends their turn in your spout radius, they must make the same saving throw as mentioned above. On a fail, they take 6d8 bludgeoning damage. Each time the water spout is attacked, you must make a concentration check starting at a DC of 8 and increasing by 1 for each attack made on or through the water spout, techniques increase the DC by 2. If you lose concentration of the water spout or if the water spout is cut off from any point beneath you while in the air, you fall and take 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 10 ft you fall.

Each time the water pinwheel is attacked, you must make a concentration check starting at a DC of 8 and increasing by 1 for each attack made on or through the water pinwheel; techniques increase the DC by 2. Creatures can still attack you with no cover from the sides of the pinwheel. The pinwheel is considered a medium water source and you can cast techniques using the pinwheel. If you shift the water into ice, the ice pinwheel has 15 AC and 50HP. At Trained level, the pinwheel acts as ¾ cover and at Mastered level total cover.
Watery Sphere*
Waterbending
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: 90ft
- Components: S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You conjure up a sphere of water with a 5-foot radius on a point you can see within range. The sphere can be hollow or full, your choice. If the sphere is hollow, creatures inside can breathe in it for up to 1 hour with a small water source, 3 hours with a medium water source and 6 hours with a large water source. The sphere can hover in the air, but no more than 10 feet off the ground. The sphere can also be created under water. The sphere remains until you break concentration.
Any creature in the sphere’s space must make a Charisma Saving Throw (if they’re a waterbender) or an Elemental Affinity Saving Throw (if they aren’t). On a successful save, a creature is ejected from that space to the nearest unoccupied space outside it. A Huge or larger creature succeeds on the saving throw automatically if the sphere was made using a medium water source or smaller sources. On a failed save, a creature is restrained by the sphere and is engulfed by the water. At the end of each of its turns, a restrained target can repeat the saving throw.
The sphere can restrain a maximum of 2 Medium or smaller creatures or one Large creature. If the sphere restrains a creature in excess of these numbers, a random creature that was already restrained by the sphere falls out of it and lands prone in a space within 5 feet of it.
As an action, you can move the sphere up to 30 feet in a straight line. If it moves over a pit, cliff, or other drop, it will remain in the position you designate it and will remain there as long as you don’t break concentration. Any creature restrained by the sphere moves with it. You can ram the sphere into creatures, forcing them to make the saving throw, but no more than once per turn.
When you break concentration, the sphere falls to the ground and extinguishes all normal flames within 30 feet of it. Any creature restrained by the sphere is knocked prone in the space where it falls.
At Trained level, you can create a bubble large enough to hold 4 medium sized willing creatures or 2 large creatures or 1 huge creature. At Mastered level, you can create a bubble large enough to hold 8 medium creatures or 4 large creatures or 2 huge creatures.

When the wave appears, each creature within its area must make a Charisma Saving Throw (if they’re a waterbender) or an Elemental Affinity Saving Throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d10 bludgeoning damage, or half as much damage on a successful save.
At the start of each of your turns after the wave forms, the wave, along with any creatures in it, moves 30 feet in the direction the wave was moving. Any Huge or smaller creature inside the wall or whose space the wall enters when it moves must succeed on a Charisma Saving Throw (if they’re a waterbender) or a Strength Saving Throw or take 4d10 bludgeoning damage. A creature can take this damage only once per round. At the end of the turn, the wall’s height is reduced by 25 feet, and the damage creatures take from the spell on subsequent rounds is reduced by 1d10. When the wall reaches 0 feet in height, the spell ends.
A creature caught in the wall can move by swimming. Because of the force of the wave, though, the creature must make a successful Strength (Athletics) check against your Bending Save DC in order to move at all. If it fails the check, it can’t move. A creature that moves out of the area falls to the ground. Firebenders can not make attacks or use techniques while in the wave. This is considered a Mastered level technique.

If the wall cuts through a creature’s space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice). If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), that creature can make an Elemental Affinity Saving Throw. On a success, it can use its reaction to move up to its speed so that it is no longer enclosed by the wall.
The wall can have any shape you desire, though it can’t occupy the same space as a creature or object. The wall doesn’t need to be vertical or resting on any firm foundation. It must, however, merge with and be solidly supported by existing stone. Thus you can use this technique to bridge a chasm or create a ramp.
If you create a span greater than 20 feet in length, you must halve the size of each panel to create supports. You can crudely shape the wall to create crenelations, battlements, and so on.
The wall is an object made of stone that can be damaged and thus breached. Each panel has AC 15 and 30 hit points per inch of thickness. Reducing a panel to 0 hit points destroys it and might cause connected panels to collapse at the DM’s discretion.
If you maintain your concentration on this technique for its whole duration, an earthbender must make a Constitution Check vs your Save DC in order to bring a panel of the wall down. The wall remains even after you stop concentration.
At Trained level, HP of each panel increases by 20. At Mastered level, the creature has disadvantage on its saving throw.

Rapidly spring around yourself a thick layer of air that protects you from incoming damage. When you use this technique, you form a layer of air resembling the shape of a small tornado that partially negates incoming damage. When you use Air Cocoon, you take half of whatever type of damage you were initially going to take. At Trained level, the damage of weapons and bending based basic attacks are completely negated. At Mastered, when you use this technique you can move up to 10ft in any direction.
Asphyxiation*
Airbending
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: 30ft
- Components: S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 5 minutes
Bleed your enemies dry of air, keep them gasping for it as the light fades from their eyes. When you use this technique, you focus and concentrate on 1 creature you see. At the start of that creature's turn, they must make a Wisdom Saving Throw if they’re an airbender; if they aren't, they are instantly affected. Airbenders can repeat the saving throw at the start of each of their turns until they are cleared of the effect. However, if you use this technique on a non-airbender, they must land an attack against you with disadvantage to attempt to break your concentration.
When a creature fails their saving throw or you are able to maintain concentration of Asphyxiation at the start of their turn, they take 1d10 force damage and have disadvantage on attacks and techniques. If they fail their saving throw or you are able to maintain concentration for 3 turns, they have disadvantage on saving throws as well. After 13 turns and beyond, they become incapacitated. For every and at the start of their turn that they fail the saving throw or you are able to maintain concentration, the damage is multiplied by 2 (i.e 2 turns 2d10, 3 turns 4d10 force damage etc.). A creature that dies by Asphyxiation doesn’t fall unconscious, they immediately die. This technique is considered a Mastered technique.
Cushion the Forceful Fist*
Airbending
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: Touch
- Components: S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Bend the air around a creature to cushion incoming damage. When you use this technique, you create a zone of air around their body, a creature's body or an object to soften the impact of incoming attacks and techniques. While Cushion the Forceful Fist is active, you or the creature you use this technique on gains resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage. Every time an attack hits that creature it instead hits the air around him and for every attack you must make a Concentration Check. At Trained level, the creature gains resistance to thunder damage as well. At Mastered level, you no longer need to roll a Concentration Check whenever an attack hits against the creature while they are affected by Cushion the Forceful Fist.
Explosion of Air*
Airbending
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: 60ft
- Components: S
- Duration: Instantaneous
Compact air then let it lose, blasting outward with great force. When you use this technique, you bend the air around you to create a compact ball and suddenly release it, letting off an explosion around you. Every creature that is within 60 ft of you must make a Wisdom Saving Throw (if they’re an airbender) or an Elemental Affinity Saving Throw (if they aren’t). On a fail, they take 8d8 bludgeoning damage, are pushed 20ft away from you and are knocked prone. If they collide with an object, they take an additional 3d8 bludgeoning damage and are stunned as well. On a success, they take half damage and are only knocked prone regardless if they collide with anything. Every level above Practiced, the explosion damage increases by 3d8.
Levitation*
Airbending
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: 100ft
- Components: S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Bend the air beneath you and levitate a willing creature or target. When you use this technique, you bend the air around and beneath a target within 100ft of you and make it levitate off the ground. The target will remain suspended in the air as long as you maintain concentration. You can levitate objects that weigh no more than 220 pounds.
You can levitate willing creatures however they can not spend any movement while being levitated by you, only you can move them anywhere within 100ft of you. If you want to levitate a non-willing creature, they must make a Wisdom Saving Throw (if they're an airbender) or a Constitution Saving Throw (if they aren't). On a fail, you levitate them and can move them anywhere within 100ft. Attacks and saving throws made by a levitated creature have disadvantage.
Furthermore, while you're levitating any creature if they conduct any rapid motion (such as using a technique or ability and making an attack) you will have to make a Concentration Check.
If you use levitation on yourself, you gain flying speed equal to your walking speed and can carry objects that weigh no more than (Total carriable wight - your weight). You do not have disadvantage on your attacks or saving throws while levitating.
At Trained level, you can carry targets that weigh no more than 440 pounds. At Mastered level, you can carry targets that weigh no more than 880 pounds and you gain +10 flying speed if you use levitation on yourself.
Reed in the Wind*
Airbending
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: Self
- Components: S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Adjust your movements to perfectly match and avoid the movements of a foe. When you use this technique:
- Melee: Melee attack against you gains a -15 modifier applied to it.
- Ranged: Every ranged attack against you has -10 and you gain advantage on Saving Throws against techniques.
You gain +10 walking speed. This technique is considered a Mastered level technique.
Returning Wind*
Airbending
- Prerequisite: Mastered Small Funnel
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: 5ft eye, 30ft effect radius
- Components: S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Race in circles to create a cyclone designed to pull in arrows or other hurled objects. When you use this technique, you create a minor stationary tornado that can pull in or hurl objects. Any ranged attack or technique that uses a projectile that is made within 30 ft of the tornado or any projectile that gets within 30ft of the tornado gets caught up in it. When a projectile gets caught up in the tornado, roll a d20 and the outcome is determined by the table below. Hurled projectiles and deal their respective damage + your Wisdom Modifier. While you concentrate on this technique, you can not use your movement to move to a different unoccupied space nor can the tornado be moved. Firebending and Waterbending attacks and techniques that get within the tornado dissipate and have no effect (unless they are solid like ice or combustionbending). You gain a point of exhaustion after you use this technique. At Trained level, the tornado can hold up to 5 projectiles. At Mastered, the tornado can hold up to 7 projectiles.
d20 | Effect |
---|---|
1-5 | The projectile remains in the tornado |
5-10 | The projectile hits the nearest creature to the tornado |
10-15 | The projectile is sent far away from everyone, possibly hitting a cabbage merchant |
15-19 | The projectile leaves the tornado but doesn't hit anything |
20 | The projectile hits the creature that sent it |
Sense the Blow’s Wake*
Airbending
- Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action
- Range: Self
- Components: S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Attune yourself to the flow of wind around you and connect with it. When you use this technique, you sense the air around you with utmost care. While Sense the Blow’s Wake is active, you can use a reaction without expending it. Additionally while this technique is active, you can choose another Practiced level technique to use on your turn. This technique is considered a Mastered level technique.
Shockwave*
Airbending
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: 100ft
- Components: S
- Duration: Instantaneous
Leap into the air and hurtle back to the ground, sending a massive burst of pressurized air all around you. When you use this technique, you leap 20ft into the air and slam down on the ground, creating a circular shockwave with a radius of 30ft. Every creature affected must make a Wisdom Saving Throw (if they’re an airbender) or an Elemental Affinity Saving Throw (if they aren’t). On a fail, every creature affected is pushed away 30ft in the direction the shockwave is traveling and takes 6d8 bludgeoning damage. On a success, the damage is halved and everyone is pushed away by half of the failing value. When Shockwave is used, attacks of opportunity will not trigger against creatures that leave each other’s melee attack range. If any creature or object impacts with a wall or terrain when they are pushed back they take an additional 6d8 bludgeoning damage. At Trained level, both damage instances increase by 2d8 and the radius increases by 20 ft. At Mastered, both damage instances increase by 2d8 and creatures are pushed away by an additional 20ft.
Spoutnado*
Airbending
- Prerequisite: Mastered Air Spout
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: Self, 10 ft diameter - 30 ft affect radius
- Components: S
- Duration: Instantaneous
Create a miniature tornado beneath you that propels you upward. When you use this technique, you create extremely strong winds beneath you and allow them to propel you upward by at most 300ft. Every creature that starts their turn within 30 ft of the spout must make a Wisdom Saving Throw (if they’re an airbender) or Elemental Affinity Saving Throw (if they aren’t). On a fail, they take 6d10 bludgeoning damage and are pulled 10 ft into the tornado. On a success, they only take half damage.
If a creature is pulled into the eye of the spout, attacks and techniques against them have disadvantage. However, if you move while someone is in the eye of the spout, they must repeat the saving throw. On a fail, they take full damage and on a success half as much. This is considered a Mastered level Technique.
Tornado/Hurricane*
Airbending
- Prerequisite: Mastered Small Funnel
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: 60ft
- Components: S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Move your entire body in circular motion around a point and slowly form a devastating tornado or hurricane. When you use this technique, you start to form a tornado or hurricane (your choice) of 60ft height. Creatures that are within 60 ft of the eye must make a Wisdom Saving Throw (if they’re an airbender) or an Elemental Affinity Saving Throw (if they aren’t). On a fail, the creatures are pulled in 20ft. Every creature that starts their turn within 60 ft of you must repeat the saving throw. Creatures that are pulled into the eye of the tornado take 4d10 bludgeoning damage at the start of their turn and are pulled up 20 ft. Creatures that are in the eye can repeat the saving throw at the start of their turn to escape the center. Each turn the creatures in the eye fail their saving throw, they take 4d10 bludgeoning damage and are pulled up further by 20ft. Creatures in the eye can use techniques however their attacks and saving throws have disdvantage.
The tornado/hurricane reaches its peak strength after you concentrate on it for 5 Actions. Once the it reaches its peak strength, the effect range and height increases to 120 ft, each creature that fails the saving throw is instead pulled in by 40 ft and takes an additional 4d10 bludgeoning damage, for a total of 8d10 bludgeoning damage. Creatures that are within the effect radius of the tornado/hurricane while its at peak strength are pulled up by 40ft and take 8d8 bludgeoning damage if they fail their save, half as musch damage on a successful one. Once peak strength has been achieved, no object nor creature can escape the tornado/hurricane.
This technique can be used in unison with other airbenders that know this technique. For each airbender that assists you, the damage increases by 1d10 and the effect radius increases by 30 ft. For every airbender that assists you in creating the tornado/hurricane you decrease the required time to reach peak strength by 1 action. It reaches peak strength at the start of the first airbender’s turn that is in the initiative order.
While using this technique, you remain stationary and can not spend any movement to move in any direction. Additionally, the tornado can't be moved from the position you started using the technique unless you have another airbender other than you that is assisting with the technique. If other airbenders are assisting you, every airbender assisting can move up to half of their movement each turn. This technique is considered a Mastered technique.
Thundering Gust*
Airbending
- Prerequisite: Mastered Air Stream
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: 5ft/10ft
- Components: S
- Duration: Instantaneous
Jab at the air around you to send it hurtling forward at incredible speed, catching even the heaviest foes and tossing them aside. When you use this technique, you quickly bend the air around a target you can see, condense it and release it towards them, blasting them far away from you. The affected creature must make a Constitution Saving Throw. The affected creature makes the saving throw with advantage if they are 40 or more feet away from you. On a fail, the creature takes 4d10 bludgeoning damage and is pushed back 100ft in a line colliding and dragging other movable creatures or objects with it. If the creature collides with an object or another creature the 2nd creature must make a Dexterity Saving Throw or take 1d10 bludgeoning damage per 10ft the first target has traveled and be pushed in the direction of travel by 30ft and fall prone. On a success, they only take half damage. The initial target also takes 1d10 bludgeoning damage per creature or object it collides with. If the initial target collides with a structure they take 6d10 bludgeoning damage and if any other creature or object that has been affected by this ability other than the initial target collides with a structure, they take half of that. If you use this technique directly on a structure or object, you deal the maximum possible damage and you deal double damage to the structure or object. This technique is considered a Mastered Technique.
Wind Wall*
Airbending
- Prerequisite: Air Shield
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range: 120ft
- Components: S
- Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
A wall of strong wind rises from the ground at a point you choose within range. You can make the wall up to 50 feet long, 15 feet high, and 1 foot thick. You can shape the wall in any way you choose so long as it makes one continuous path along the ground. The wall lasts for the duration or until strong winds disperse it.
When the wall appears, each creature within its area must make a Wisdom Saving Throw (if they’re an airbender) or an Elemental Affinity Saving Throw. A creature takes 3d8 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The strong wind keeps fog, smoke, and other gases at bay. Small or smaller flying creatures or objects can’t pass through the wall. Loose, lightweight materials brought into the wall fly upward. Arrows, bolts, knives, projectiles made of fire and air or other ordinary projectiles launched at targets behind the wall are deflected upward and automatically miss (Boulders hurled by Earthbenders or siege engines, and similar projectiles, are unaffected.). At Trained level, you can make the wall an additional 10ft longer. At Mastered level, you can make the wall either an additional 10ft longer or 4 ft thicker. If you choose to make the wall thicker, projectiles made of earth that weigh less than 180lbs also can not pass through the wall.
