Conditions New & Old

Bleeding

• At the start of each of the creature's turns it loses hit points based on the effect.
• If a Bleeding creature is the target of this condition multiple times, the damage dealt increases based on the damage of the effect.
• Any adjacent creature can take an action to stanch this effect with a successful Wisdom (Medicine) check. The DC for this action is the same as the DC to resist the condition. If the creature is the target of magical healing, all bleeding immediately ends.
• This condition does not effect constructs or undead creatures.

Bloodied

• When a creature drops below half its total hit points they become bloodied.
• Certain abilities and features can trigger when a creature becomes bloodied.

Choked

The flow of air into your body is cut. You have limited reserve of air before you risk to fall unconscious equal to 3 plus your Constitution modifier minutes (see pg. 183, Player's Handbook).

• At the start of your turn, if you took any amount of hit points damage since your last turn, you lose 1 round of air. Each critical hit you take makes you lose 1 extra round.
• At the end of your turn, if you are still being Choked, you lose 1 round of air.
• Each time you attempt to speak, cast a spell with verbal component, or say a command you lose 1 round of air.
• When you have no more rounds of air left, make a Constitution saving throw against DC 10 at the end of each of your turns. On failure, you fall unconscious. Each time you repeat the check, the DC is increased by 5.
• You have advantage to attempt to escape being choked if you can use both your hands to struggle, unless you are Restrained or Pinned.

Death-Touched

Dying and being resurrected is harsh on the soul. If you die and are brought back to life you will gain one permanent failed death saving throw. You do not gain one with the True Resurrection spell and they can be removed via the Wish spell. If you die for a third time while having two permanent fails from dying, your soul destroyed with the exception for otherworldly intervention.

Dying

• If damage reduces you to 0 hit points and fails to kill you, you are dying. The condition ends if the dying creature regains any hit points.
• Death saves are rolled in secret, only the DM and dying character's player know the current condition.
• To stabilize the player must roll three successful death saves, but to die requires five failed death saving throws.
• A dying creature is incapacitated (see the condition), can speak falteringly, and is somewhat aware of its surroundings.
• The creature drops whatever it’s holding and falls prone.
• The creature automatically fails Strength and Dexterity Saving Throws.
• Attack rolls against the creature have advantage.
• Any Attack that hits the creature is a critical hit if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature.

Swallowed

• A target of this effect is blinded and restrained, has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the creature that swallowed them.
• At the start of the creature's term that swallowed them, the swallowed target takes acid damage based on the swallower.
• A creature can only swallow a number of others, based on its size. If the swallower takes an amount of damage or more from a single turn from a target inside of it, they must succeed on a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to 10 + their Constitution saving throw or regurgitated all swallowed targets.
• If the swallowing creature dies, a swallowed target is no longer restrained and can escape the corpse using 10 feet of movement, exiting prone.

Wounded

• If you lose the dying condition and do not already have the wounded condition, you become wounded.
• If you already have the wounded condition when you lose the dying condition, your wounded condition value increases by 1.
• When you enter the dying condition, automatically fail a number of death saving throws equal to the wounded condition.
• You can end the wounded condition if a successful healer's kit check (DC is equal to 10 + 3 x wounded value) is made on you over a short rest or when you are restored to full Hit Points and rest for 10 minutes.

TLDR

In the world of Namikakaweyho, the species above aren't totally one distinct thing. Consider them a bit of a blend.

How to use this guide

To take a Lineage or Half-Breed option, you must choose the priority level (or higher).

• Aasimar Half-Orc (B). Look at him!!!

Tiny Creatue Rules

Apply this to any tiny species you play.

Tiny Appetite. You require 1/10 as much food and water. A single ration can last you for 10 days.

Tiny Armor. You can only wear armor for tiny creatures. Through potentially rare, it costs only 1/4 as much and weighs 1/8th as much.

Tiny Build. Your carrying capacity is your Strength score multiplied by 5. You only use weapons for medium or small sized creatures if they have the light property. These weapons gain the two-handed property and lose the Light property for you. You can wield tiny weapons.

Tiny Weapons. Tiny weapons are scaled for tiny creatures. Their damage dice are reduced by one size, and their weight is 1/4 the normal weapon weight. There is no tiny equivalent weapons with the havy property. See the table below for examples:

Tiny Weapons	Damage Dice
Tiny Dagger	1d2
Tiny Shortsword	1d4
Tiny Longsword	1d6
Tiny Shortbow	1d4
Tiny Lance	1d10

Naming

Though not limited to a specific species, aasimar are typically born from non-aasimar parents. Regardless of lineage, most inherit the same naming conventions as their native culture. However, as divine champions, some aasimar may take on pseudonyms or become “named” by others who worship—or oppose—their angelic origins.

Guided by the Light

An aasimar, has a link to an angelic being. That being-usually a deva provides guidance to the aasimar. As such, the guidance is not a direct command or a simple spoken word. Instead, the aasimar receives visions, prophecies, and feelings.

The angelic being is far from omniscient. Its guidance is based on its understanding of the tenets of law and good, and it might have insight into combating especially powerful evils that it knows about.

As part of fleshing out an aasimar character, consider the nature of that character's angelic guide.

Angelic Origins

Text here.

• Celestial (Priority B): Text.
• Fallen (Priority B): Text.

Age: Aasimar reach maturity normally. Compared to their species, they usually live 1.5 times as long.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Celestial.

Depending on your angelic lineage, you can choose traits from both the blah blah blah.

Naming

Axolotl naming customs are deeply rooted in tradition, categorizing names into royal, knightly, holy, and other types, each signifying honor and legacy. Names are carefully chosen to reflect lineage and destiny, celebrated in grand ceremonies where the community gathers to bestow meaningful names that shape an individual's identity.

Base Traits

Pun here.

Ability Scores: Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2; choose any other +1 (b) Choose three different +1

Age: Reach adulthood by age 5. They often live to be around 20.

Size: Axolotl usually stand between 2 and 3 feet tall, and weigh an average of 30 pounds. Your size is Small.

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.

Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Aquatic Adaptation (4). Axolotls have a natural swimming speed of 30 feet and can breathe both air and water, allowing them to thrive in aquatic environments. Additionally, when underwater, you can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it was bright light, and in darkness as if it was dim light; however, you cannot perceive colour when in dim light or darkness underwater, so everything appears in various shades of grey.

Creature Type (1). You are a fey.

Fey Charm (2). Your innate charm gives you advantage on saving throws against being charmed.

Regeneration (4). Once per long rest, you can regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your Constitution modifier.

Sensitive Frills (1). You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks while underwater.

Slippery (1). When you make a check to avoid being grappled or restrained, you can add your proficiency bonus to the roll.

Water Dependency (-2). During maturation, Axolotls live almost exclusively underwater, leading to a species-wide dependency on water.

You must immerse yourself in water for at least 30 minutes every 8 hours to prevent dehydration. If you fail to do so, you become dehydrated, losing access to your Regeneration feature and suffering disadvantage on saving throws against disease and the poisoned condition. Additionally, while dehydrated, you gain 1 point of exhaustion every 8 hours until you submerge yourself again. Once rehydrated, you regain access to your Regeneration feature and no longer suffer disadvantage on rolls against disease or the poisoned condition.

Name's Legacy. Your name holds power in Axolotl culture, defining your social standing. Based on your species priority level, select from the following:

• Commoner (Priority C): The most common legacy, representing the everyday Axolotl without special status.
• Caste (Priority B): You belong to a respected group within society, recognized for your skills and contributions.
• Royalty (Priority A): You hold a position of prominence and influence, bestowing privileges and abilities that reflect your noble lineage and responsibilities to the Axolotl people.
• Villain (Priority A): Destined to be the kingdom's antagonist, you take your role with utmost seriousness, scheming and plotting as any proper villain would. However, thanks to the efforts of royalty, knights, and everyday citizens, your antics rarely cause real harm or extensive damage—keeping the kingdom's drama alive without pushing it too far.

Naming

Changelings may use different names for each persona they create or adopt. Their given names are typically monosyllabic and straightforward. However, there are often accents to a changeling’s name expressed through their shapeshifting—a subtlety most “single-skins” may not immediately pick up on. As an example, two changelings who share the name Drez may identify themselves separately as Drez-with-slight-build and Drez-with-saffron-hair. Most changeling names are gender non-specific due to their fluid relationship with the concept of gender, viewing it as one of many characteristics their ability can alter.

Base Traits

Pun here.

Ability Scores: Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2; choose any other +1 (b) Choose three different +1

Age: Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.

Size: You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this species.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for your character.

Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Divergent Persona (1). You gain proficiency with one tool of your choice. Define a unique identity associated with that proficiency; establish the name, species, gender, age, and other details. While you are in the form of this persona, the related proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses that proficiency.

Natural Instincts (5). You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion.

Shapechanger (6). As an action, you change your appearance and your voice. You determine the specifics of the changes, including your coloration, hair length, and sex. You can also adjust your height between Medium and Small. You can make yourself appear as a member of another species, though none of your game statistics change. You can't duplicate the appearance of an individual you've never seen, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs that you have. Your clothing and equipment aren't changed by this trait. You stay in the new form until you use an action to revert to your true form or until you die.

Unsettling Visage (5). When a creature you can see makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the roll. You must use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses. Using this trait reveals your shapeshifting nature to any creature within 30 feet that can see you. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Society

Many changelings take up one of three philosophical beliefs when it comes to their mutable forms and these philosophies guide many aspects of a changeling's day-to-day life:

• Passers. Those who wish to fit in with conventional society and live life in only one form or at the least suppress their shape-changing abilities to better fit in with those around them. Other changelings will often view passers with contempt and use slang words such as "pretender" or "actor" to mock them.
• Becomers. Believe that to be a changeling is to possess many different shapes and often different identities and lives altogether. A becomer takes the concept of a dual life to a whole new degree and some will successfully live as several "different people" for many years.
• Seekers. Or "reality seekers" are convinced that a great truth exists that only the changelings can discover; they suppress their shape changing abilities even more than passers and prefer to live or socialize with other changelings

Fun Facts

What am I? Who am I? What will I become?

• Low Profile. Due to racism.
• Origin? It is thought that they are the result of interbreeding between humans and doppelgangers. However, it is also claimed that changelings originated first, and doppelgangers were twisted changelings created by something.
• Shy. Most changelings are rarely seen in their true form and prefer to adopt all kinds of humanoid shapes, treating their appearance like others treat clothes.

Naming

Follow the standard naming convention based on the species or culture they originate from.

While you are missing half or more of your hit points, you have advantage on attack rolls you make with this bite.

Naming

Most traditional drow names include double letters and are composed to be pleasant to the ear. While the drow aspire to emulate their gods, they believe having a first name too similar to their deities is blasphemous and carries misfortune. Similarly, last names rarely begin with an “L” sound due to their closeness to Lolth, the Spider Queen. Only avatars of Lolth were permitted monikers with this phonetic similarity. Beyond significant religious figures, nobility and those of high regard are the only drow granted surnames. Those beneath these social classes were not permitted.

Naming

Centaur names are inherited, passed down through many generations. New foals typically receive the name of a recently deceased family member of the same gender. Centaurs believe this practice not only keeps the memory of the departed alive but a shard of their spirit as well. Rather than use family or last names, centaurs create and wear symbols representing their clan or family association. These symbols may exist as carved depictions of plants or animals, inscribed aphorisms, braids and beads worn in their hair or tail, or even distinct patterns woven into their clothing.

Naming

A dwarf’s name is granted by a clan elder, in accordance with tradition. Every proper dwarven name has been used and reused down through the generations. A dwarf’s name belongs to the clan, not to the individual. A dwarf who misuses or brings shame to a clan name is stripped of the name and forbidden by law to use any dwarven name in its place.

Base Traits

Pun here.

Ability Scores: Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2; choose any other +1 (b) Choose three different +1

Age: Dwarves mature at the same rate as humans, but they're considered young until they reach the age of 50. On average, they live about 350 years—slowly turning to stone as they age.

Size: Dwarves stand between 4 and 5 feet tall and average about 150 pounds. Your size is Medium.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is full of hard consonants and guttural sounds, and those characteristics spill over into whatever other language a dwarf might speak.

Speed (-1): Your base walking speed is 25 feet. Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor.

Armor Training (6). You have proficiency with light and medium armor.

Combat Training (1). You have proficiency with the battleaxe, handaxe, light hammer, and warhammer.

Darkvision (6). Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Dwarven Resilience (5). You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.

Dwarven Toughness (4). Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

Stonecutting (1). Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to the origin of stonework, you are considered proficient in the History skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.

Tools of the Trade (1). You gain proficiency with the artisan's tools of your choice: smith's tools, brewer's supplies, or mason's tools.

Variant Traits

Pun here.

Far Traveled (2). You have advantage on saving throws against effects that cause exhaustion and you may remove one level of exhaustion after finishing a short rest, instead of a long rest. Additionally, you regain 1 additional hit dice when you take a long rest.

Stone Body (3). When you aren't wearing armor, your base AC is 13 + Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

In addition, your earthen metabolism grants you the following benefits:

• You have no blood and you cannot be petrified
• You have advantage on saving throws made against disease.

Heartstone

Dwarves were first shaped by giants, their life sparked by the Heartstone at their core. Now, dwarven artisans craft new life in the same way—each dwarf born from their clan’s forges. Their existence is rooted in the strength and resilience of stone, and they honor their heritage through skilled craftsmanship and unyielding loyalty to their people.

• The Urge to Deeper. Hidden deep within the earth, Heartstones are rare and precious, and their scarcity drives the dwarves to mine ever deeper to bring new brethren into the world.
• Born of Stone. The forging of a dwarf is a revered ritual, where life and death intertwine. It is both a celebration of creation and a solemn act of renewal, carried out with great care and reverence.
• Greed. Valued for their beauty and untapped magical potential, Heartstones are sought after by those who would exploit them. For some, nothing is more vile than displaying a Heartstone as a trophy—a symbol of life never brought to fruition.

Fun Facts

Naming

Elves are considered children until they declare themselves adults, some time after the hundredth birthday, and before this period they are called by child names.

On declaring adulthood, an elf selects an adult name, although those who knew him or her as a youngster might continue to use the child name. Each elf’s adult name is a unique creation, though it might reflect the names of respected individuals or other family members. Little distinction exists between male names and female names.

Base Traits

Pun here.

Ability Scores: Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2; choose any other +1 (b) Choose three different +1

Age: Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to endlessly in the fey.

Size: Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Elven.

Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Creature Type (1). You are a fey.

Fey Ancestry (3). You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Trance (2). Elves do not sleep. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. The Common word for this meditation is "trance." While meditating, you dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive after years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.

Keen Senses (2). You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Low-Light Vision (1). You can see twice as far in dim light. You retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

Eladrin Traits

Pun here.

Names. Eladrin see names slightly differently than elves, thanks to their season-oriented style.

Choose your eladrin's season (4): When finishing a long rest, you can change your season to the following: autumn, winter, spring, or summer. Gaining a boon.

• Autumn's Voice. You have the ability to communicate in a limited manner with all (Beasts, Creatures, People, Vegetation). They can understand the meaning of your words, though you have no special ability to understand them in return. You have proficiency in the Performance skill.
• Winter's Sight. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray. You have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when trying to perceive something in an area of bright light.
• Spring's Smile. Advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks.
• Summer's Advance. Your base walking speed increases to 35 feet. You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Fey Step (16). As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. When you reach 3rd level, your Fey Step gain an additional effect based on your season; if the effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your preferred mental modifier (choose when you select this species):

• Autumn. Immediately after you use your Fey Step, up to two creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for 1 minute, or until you or your companions deal any damage to the creatures.

• Winter. After you use your Fey Step, one creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

• Spring. When you use your Fey Step, you can touch one willing creature within 5 feet of you. That creature then teleports instead of you, appearing in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.

• Summer. Immediately after you use your Fey Step, you have advantage against an adjacent creature before the end of your next turn.

Weapon Training (1). You have proficiency with the longsword, shortsword, shortbow, and longbow.

Naming

Fairies don't adhere to strict naming conventions. Given the mirthful and serendipitous nature of the Feywild, many fairies don't put much value on their family's lineage and legacy. In fact, it's not uncommon for some fairies to be named after animals, plants, objects, or feelings that represent and complement their personalities. However, faeries with strong ties to the Seelie and Unseelie Courts that rule over the Feywild may care a little more about their family's image.

Fun Facts

Peter Pan Quote

• Contracts. They believe in the binding power of contracts and will follow them exactly, in word if not in spirit. Be wary when entering a contract with the Fairies as they are unlikely to accept one unless it benefits them greatly and can twist your wording to cause great chaos.
• Homely. It is quite unusual for a fairy to leave the Feywild. And if so, they typically stick close to areas with strong fey auras.
• Problem Species. They are a mischievous and dexterous race of beings who are blessed by the innate magic of the fey itself and as such show a tendency towards sporadic irrational behavior.
• Strangely Peaceful. In contrary to some of the stories Fairies are a mostly peaceful race, only demeaning themselves to violence in the most distasteful of situations, preferring to negotiate conflicts with games of chance, wit and skill.

Base Traits

Pun here.

Ability Scores: Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2; choose any other +1 (b) Choose three different +1

Age: Fairies slowly reach maturity at 40 years old. After which time are ageless within the feywild. In other planes, without the magic of the Fey to sustain them, they age similarly to elves, commonly exceeding 800 years although many will return to the Feywild before this time.

Size: Your are tiny, about the size of a rat.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.

Speed (-4): Your base walking speed is 20 feet.

Creature Type (1). You are a Fey.

Flight (16). Your flying speed is 30 feet.

Fairy Dust (12). You produce a magical dust from your body that can be used to create the following effects:

• Distracting Dust. As a bonus action, you can quickly throw a handful of dust around yourself in dazzling array, momentarily distracting those around you. This gives you the effect of the disengage action.
• Golden Shower. As an action, you can throw a handful of dust at a creature within 30ft. This creates the Faerie Fire spell effect in a 10-foot cube.
• Levitating Sprinkle. As an action, you can sprinkle a handful of dust on an object or creature within 5 feet of you to create the Levitate spell for a minute, except you can only change its altitude by 5 feet every round. An unwilling creature may make a Constitution saving throw to resist this effect and may repeat this saving throw every turn.
• Mesmerizing Breath. As an action, you blow a handful of dust into the face of a creature within 5 feet of you to create the Friends spell effect.
• Shrinking Shower. As an action, you pour a handful of dust onto one object within 5ft, the object undergoes the reduction effect of the spell Enlarge/Reduce. The effect lasts for 10 minute on you and the item, but if you are holding or wearing the item you can sustain this effect for up to 16 hours. If it leaves your hand or body it regains normal size in 1 minute.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these effects. The DC for this effect equals 8 + your spellcasting modifier + your proficiency bonus. You can produce a number of handfuls of fairy dust equal to your proficiency bonus every long rest. As long as you have 1 or more handfuls remaining you can cause them to glow as if under the effect of the Light cantrip.

Iron Irritation (0). The touch of Iron is irritating to you and causes rashes to form on your skin. You do not gain proficiency bonuses for attacks made with weapons of Iron or Steel. You are also unable to wear any armor made of Iron or Steel. The fairy kingdoms replace conventional Iron or Steel objects with Bronze.

When you reach character levels 3 and 5, you learn a higher-level spell, as shown on the table. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest.

Similar to their chaotic cousins, githyanki birth names and their meaning come from their native language. They are rarely longer than three syllables and sometimes use a similar apostrophized structure to elven and drow names.

Naming

Gnomes have a particular fondness for names, and many have half a dozen they use for themselves. Nicknames are very prevalent, and variations of them from friends and family are abundant. Gnome names are usually iterations of past ancestors, but not all limit their imaginations. When dealing with more stodgy races, gnomes will limit their monikers to no more than three; a first, last, and a nickname. Though, that doesn't mean they still can't be fun to say.

Base Traits

Pun here.

Ability Scores: Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2; choose any other +1 (b) Choose three different +1

Age: Gnomes mature at the same rate humans do, and most are expected to settle down into an adult life by around age 40. They can live 350 to almost 500 years.

Size: Gnomes are between 3 and 4 feet tall and average about 40 pounds. Your size is Small.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Gnomish. The Gnomish language, which uses the Dwarvish script, is renowned for its technical treatises and its catalogs of knowledge about the natural world.

Speed (-1): Your base walking speed is 25 feet. Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor.

Gnome Cunning (5). You have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic.

COOL NAME: Text. Based on your species priority level, select from the following:

Deep Gnome

Pun here.

Age: Deep gnomes are short-lived for gnomes. They mature at the same rate humans do and are considered full-grown adults by 25. They live 200 to 250 years, although hard toil and the dangers of the Underdark often claim them before their time.

Size: Unlike other gnomes, svirfneblin tend to weigh 80 to 120 pounds. Your size is Small.

Superior Darkvision (2). You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray. Additionally, you have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.

Stone Camouflage (1). You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to hide in rocky terrain.

Umbral Stoicism (1). When you fail a saving throw against a spell or any effect that would cause you to become charmed, sense emotions, or read thoughts. You can choose to reroll the die, and take the new result. You can use this trait a number of times equal to proficiency bonus and regain all uses when you finish a long rest.

Regular Gnome

Pun here.

Artificer's Lore (1). Whenever you make an Intelligence (History) check related to magic items, alchemical objects, or technological devices, you can add twice your proficiency bonus, instead of any proficiency bonus you normally apply.

Natural Illusionist (2). You know the minor illusion cantrip. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it.

Speak with Small Beasts (1). Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas with Small or smaller beasts. Forest gnomes love animals and often keep squirrels, badgers, rabbits, moles, woodpeckers, and other creatures as beloved pets.

Tinkerer (1). Tinker. You have proficiency with artisan's tools (tinker's tools). Using those tools, you can spend 1 hour and 10 gp worth of materials to construct a Tiny clockwork device (AC 5, 1 hp). The device ceases to function after 24 hours (unless you spend 1 hour repairing it to keep the device functioning), or when you use your action to dismantle it; at that time, you can reclaim the materials used to create it. You can have up to three such devices active at a time.

Low-Light Vision (1). You can see twice as far in dim light. You retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

Fun Facts

I don't get these guys, but the below helped:

• Autistic? Hyperfixate, embracing learnings, jumping from one subject to the next — how do you operate?
• Life Pace. Typically moving at a certain pace at life, gnomes hate to slow or speed up to match with others.
• The Spark. Gnomes who lose their passion come down with a sickness that - left untreated - turns them into a Deep Gnome.

Naming

Guttural and rasping, the goblin tongue is heavy with grunting and whimpering noises and spoken in a rasping or growling manner. Goblin names follow a similar phonetic pattern containing complex consonant sounds often difficult for other races to pronounce. First names are typically two syllables or less, and it is rare for goblins to carry a family or tribe name.

Base Traits

Nimble Escape. You can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of your turns.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Goblin. In Ravnica, Goblin is a simplistic language with a limited vocabulary and fluid rules of grammar, unsuited for any sophisticated conversation.

Low-Light Vision (1). You can see twice as far in dim light. You retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

Society:

Goliaths lived in small tribes that numbered between forty and sixty goliaths. This was usually made up of three to five extended families. Most goliaths lived in the same tribe their entire life. On rare occasions, a tribe that got too large would split into smaller tribes or smaller tribes would merge together.

---

Goliath tribes had a number of key roles that were filled by the most capable members. Summaries of these roles are included below:

• Chieftain. Primary authority figure in the tribe — commands the movement of the tribe and who should take on the roles below:
• Capatin. Two are assigned each morning. They're duty is to assemble capable teams to achieve tasks such as hunting, gathering, cooking, and scouting. Two captains were assigned to each task to encourage healthy rivalry.
• Skywatcher. The most experienced druid or shaman of the tribe. Overseeing festivals, rituals, and celebrations, they chiefly ensure that resources aren't excessively hunted or harvested.
• Dawncaller Guards the camp overnight. At dawn they sung or bellowed tales of goliath bravery or endurance to wake the tribe up. Assigned daily, given less work to to better prepare for the night.
• Adjudicator. Unless urgent, their duty is to hear disputes after the evening meal. Tough decisions would get settled in a competition of the Adjudicator's design.
• Tent-Mother Chosen each morning, responsible for care and teaching of the tribe's infants and toddlers.
• Lamentor. Determines when a goliath is too old or weak to serve the tribe. Once decided, the lamentor prepared a long chant to commemorate the goliath before exiled.

Fun Facts

The true utopia is a society run the goliath way. Change my mind.

• Tattoo or No?. The markings on them are believed to explain or control their destiny. Never to be covered or altered.
• Fair Play. Competition measures talent, dedication, and effort. Thus, cheating is completely out of their mind.
• Hair? Nah.

Naming

Centaur names are inherited, passed down through many generations. New foals typically receive the name of a recently deceased family member of the same gender. Centaurs believe this practice not only keeps the memory of the departed alive but a shard of their spirit as well. Rather than use family or last names, centaurs create and wear symbols representing their clan or family association. These symbols may exist as carved depictions of plants or animals, inscribed aphorisms, braids and beads worn in their hair or tail, or even distinct patterns woven into their clothing.

A halfling has a given name, a family name, and possibly a nickname. Family names are often nicknames that stuck so tenaciously they have been passed down through the generations. Just think about some classic dog names.

Keen Senses: You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Wisdom (Survival) checks that that involve on hearing or smell.

Zoomies: You increase your speed by 5 feet.

Culture

The Little Folk stays together as they value family, community, and their homes. They don’t have a monarchical government. They tend for advice from their family members or village elders which is usually an old woman. In some cases, the village is governed by a sheriff of some kind. Each person in the village tends to each other in the way that workloads and specialties are shared as services and trades. Even the families stay in the same home until one chooses to live on his own which is rare when one doesn’t have a partner to live with.

---

They like to share and are curious as to what others have to offer. This means they tend to work hard while living in other communities and like to trade while they travel the roads. Never would they want to show other folks a bad side or a poorly made product. When living with other folks, they eagerly want to help out and blend in with their culture. It’s when folks show annoyance and disdain to their behavior that Halflings want to tone it down or even not bother with their acts anymore and keep their values to themselves.

Born of a Song

While halflings can procreate normally. A story told around the fireplace of a person who is depicted as a hero, and if enough stories are told about this halfling, they one day appear outside of the village. While they are not as grand as depicted in the story, they seem like people who could theoretically do those deeds.

Fun Facts

In a hole in the ground there lived a hob- halfling.

• Dogs?? Did dogs descend from halflings? Or Vice-versa? All we know is that they're both celestial in nature. The very best.
• Facial Hair. Halflings can't grow beards, luckily they can grow the longest sideburns.
• Quiet Homes. Yelling in disagreements is unheard of in Halfling society

Naming

Follow the standard naming convention based on the species or culture they originate from.

Low-Light Vision (1). You can see twice as far in dim light. You retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

Darkvision (6). You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness as shades of gray.

Eerie Token (6). As a bonus action, you can harmlessly remove a lock of your hair, one of your nails, or one of your teeth. This token is imbued with magic until you finish a long rest. While the token is imbued this way, you can take these actions:

• Telepathic Message. As an action, you can send a telepathic message to the creature holding or carrying the token, as long as you are within 10 miles of it. The message can contain up to twenty-five words.
• Remote Viewing. If you are within 10 miles of the token, you can enter a trance as an action. The trance lasts for 1 minute, but it ends early if you dismiss it (no action required) or are incapacitated. During this trance, you can see and hear from the token as if you were located where it is. While you are using your senses at the token's location, you are blinded and deafened in regard to your own surroundings. When the trance ends, the token is harmlessly destroyed.

Once you create a token using this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, at which point your missing part regrows.

Hex Affininity (8). You are the recipient of a affinity that grants you supernatural abilities. Choose a element from the Hex Affinity table. You gain the level 1 benefit of the chosen legacy.

When you reach character levels 3 and 5, you learn a higher-level spell, as shown on the table. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with this trait (choose the ability when you select the legacy).

Becoming a Hag

Hags can undertake a ritual to irreversibly transform a hexblood they created into a new hag, either one of their own kind or that embodies the hexblood's nature. This requires that both the hag and hexblood be in the same place and consent to the lengthy ritual—circumstances most hexbloods shun but might come to accept over the course of centuries. Once a hexblood undergoes this irreversible ritual, they emerge as a hag NPC no longer under the control of the hexblood's player, unless the DM rules otherwise.

Mysterious Nature

Lycanthropy's origins are mysterious, linked to ancient curses or divine influence. The moon plays a key role, often triggering transformations as a reflection of their primal nature. This affliction manifests in several forms: the boar’s ferocity, the rat’s cunning, the bat’s stealth, the bear’s strength, and the wolf’s hunting prowess. Each lycanthrope carries distinct traits shaped by manifesting their animal spirit.

Inherited or Cursed?

Born Lycanfolk are naturally attuned to their bestial heritage, experiencing their first transformations around puberty and gaining greater control over their shape. They live with an inherent connection to their dual nature, balancing human and beast. In contrast, those cursed with lycanthropy struggle to master the sudden changes, often losing control during transformations, especially under a full moon, and finding it harder to resist their bestial instincts.

Creating a Lycanfolk Guide:

• (1.) Choose: Inherited or Cursed. These are the base traits of this lineage.
• (2.) Choose a Lycanthropic Affinity. The traits of your Affinity are considered base traits for the purpose of investing Species Points.
• (3.) Invest. You may now invest in options from the Variant Trait sections.

These traits reflect your lineage's unique strengths, not tied to an animal form but rather to the essence of your chosen spirit.

Inherited Lycan (Priority B)

Pun here.

Inherited Shapechanging. Inherited Lycanfolk can use a bonus action to transform into a hybrid form or their corresponding animal form, or revert to their true humanoid form. On a full moon, they gain access to their full form, a powerful manifestation of their bestial nature. While they can control this transformation, there remains a risk of losing that control in moments of heightened conflict.

Resilience (). You may choose to activate resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks, except those made with silvered weapons. In exchange for this resistance, you gain vulnerability to damage dealt by silvered weapons.

Cursed Lycan (Priority C)

Pun here.

Cursed Shapechanging (). Cursed Lycanfolk can use a bonus action to transform into their hybrid form. However, this transformation can lead to a loss of control in vicious battles or in response to other overwhelming factors. Additionally, certain external triggers, such as the gaining the Bloodied condition or emotional crisis, can compel them to transform against their will. On a full moon, they are forced to shift into their full form, a fierce and uncontrollable embodiment of their curse, driven entirely by primal instincts.

Additionally, you gain immunity to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks, unless made with silvered weapons in your hybrid or full form. In exchange for this resistance, you gain vulnerability to damage dealt by silvered weapons.

Silver Fear (). The presence of silver acts as a potent deterrent against your true nature, causing you to feel a deep-seated unease when in its vicinity. While you are within 30 feet of silver or silvered objects, you have disadvantage on all Charisma checks. Additionally, creatures who suspect you of being a Lycanfolk have advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks to notice your discomfort to silver.

Involuntary Transformations

Pun here.

Inherited Lycanfolk. On the night of the full moon, you transform into your full form. To maintain control you must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, you lose control during which you lash out at the nearest creature. You can roll another Wisdom saving throw every round to regain control, with the DC decreasing by 1 each time you fail. At your DM's discretion, you may face conditions that would cause another saving throw to maintain control.

If you wish to resist the transformation, you must make a Wisdom saving throw DC 15. On a failure you remain in your current form until the full moon passes, or at your DM's discretion, challenges you face may call for another saving throw. The DC can increase or decrease at the DM's discretion.

Cursed Lycanfolk. At your DM's discretion, you may face conditions that would cause a involuntary transformation into your hybrid form. You must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw to resist the transformation. On a failure, you lose control during which you lash out at the nearest creature. You can roll another Wisdom saving throw every minute 10 minutes to regain control, with the DC increasing by 1 each time you fail until you naturally fall asleep. The DC can increase or decrease at the DM's discretion.

During the full moon, your beast within becomes stronger, further reducing your control. Starting four days prior, the DC increases by 1 each day, reaching a maximum of +4 on the night before the full moon. After the full moon, the DC decreases similarly. On the night of the full moon, you transform into an uncontrollable full form regardless of other circumstances.

Spreading the Curse

While in your hybrid or full form, your natural weapons are enhanced. When you make a melee attack using your natural weapons against a humanoid, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against a DC equal to 10 + your Proficiency Bonus. If the target fails, they are cursed with lycanthropy.

Naming

Minotaurs’ reverence of their past directly affects their naming structure. They use names from legendary heroes, keeping their culture and stories alive through their children. Interestingly enough, the names tend to stem from secondary or minor characters, to ensure all legendary characters stay alive.

Ability Scores: Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2; choose any other +1 (b) Choose three different +1

Age: Satyrs mature and age at about the same rate as humans.

Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.

Horns. You have horns that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier piercing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Goring Rush. Immediately after you take the Dash action on your turn and move at least 20 feet, you can make one melee attack with your Horns as a bonus action.

Hammering Horns. Immediately after you hit a creature with a melee attack as part of the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to attempt to push that target with your horns. The target must be within 5 feet of you and no more than one size larger than you. Unless it succeeds on a Strength saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier, you can push it up to 10 feet away from you.

Labyrinthine Recall. You always know which direction is north, and you have advantage on any Wisdom (Survival) check you make to navigate or track.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for your character.

Naming

Ogres do not differentiate much between male and female names, and in general will be given simplistic names in Giant by a parent just to verbally distinguish them from the other ogres of a tribe. Many ogres also take a title-like name or surname to showcase their feats of strength or call attention to a particular physical characteristic.

Base Traits

Pun here.

Ability Scores: Your Strength score increases by 4

Weakness. Pick one of your Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma ability scores. The chosen ability score is reduced by 3.

Age: Ogres are considered adults as soon as they can properly fight. They can live to be around 60, but given their generally brutish and conflict-filled lifestyles, the vast majority do not see old age.

Size: Ogres tower above non-giants, standing from at about 9 to 10 feet in height and weighing in at around 650 pounds. Your size is Large.

Languages. You can speak Common and Giant. The average ogre cannot read or write either of these languages, but there are exceptions.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 40 feet.

Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of grey.

Large and In Charge. You are capable of wielding weapons sized for Large creatures. Large weapons function as normal weapons, except that their damage is increased by 1d4. Such weapons are not common, and must be sought, looted from Large opponents, or specially crafted. Additionally, due to your massive frame, you have disadvantage on attack rolls made with any weapons that possess the Finesse or Light property, as well as any smaller-sized Ranged weapon that lack the Heavy property.

Might Makes Right. When interacting with other ogres, if you make an ability check that would normally add your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier, you may instead add your strength modifier to the roll.

Hybrid Nature. You have two creature types: humanoid and giant. You can be affected by a game effect if it works on either of your creature types.

Variant Traits

Pun here.

Society

Orcs rarely built cities of their own. Alternatively, they often inhabited places left behind by others, operating out of makeshift camps or dens and sometimes living within the surrounding natural caves. They are capable of the iron and stonework necessary to build a city, but their tools are often inferior to the more proficient and disciplined races.

Most orcs see war and battle as a means for survival. If a suitable uninhabited space is unavailable, many will seek to subjugate other cultures or enemies as a way to obtain land and resources. The appearance of a figure by the name of Gruumsh has united the various warbands of orcs. Nothing is more terrifying than orcs pillaging in unity.

Born of a Kill

While orcs can procreate normally, some of the "alpha" variants are created in a mysterious sacrificial ritual. Recently, these variants have cropped up - resembling orcs with traits of dire wolves, hippogriffs, etc. These rituals are conducted by the shamans of the clan.

Fun Facts

What is an orc? Does anyone really know?

• Eternal. Orcs are actually the longest lived species, but nobody knows their actual upper life expectancy, because there has never been a recorded death by "natural causes" for an orc.
• Hoarding Family. The number of mates and children stands as a status symbol for orcs.
• We didn't ask to be born! Originally created by an unknown wizard as mindless savages - bred for battle and destruction. They hate this, and thus typically do not trust arcane magic-users.

Naming

Low-Light Vision (1). You can see twice as far in dim light. You retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness as shades of gray.

Deathless Nature. You have escaped death, a fact represented by the following benefits:

• You have advantage on saving throws against disease and being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
• You have advantage on death saving throws.
• You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in an inactive, motionless state, during which you retain consciousness.

Knowledge from a Past Life. You temporarily remember glimpses of the past, perhaps faded memories from ages ago or a previous life. When you make an ability check that uses a skill, you can roll a d6 immediately after seeing the number on the d20 and add the number on the d6 to the check.

Naming

Much like satyrs themselves, their names have an air of myth and intrigue. Knowing a satyr's actual name can sometimes be challenging. Their mischievous and impulsive nature often leads them to change or lie about their names in the hopes of experiencing a new emotion, reaction, or adventure.

Satyr Culture

Satyr culture — at least the majority of it — is deeply preoccupied with hedonism.

Satyrs love to feel good, to enjoy one another’s company (as well as the company of other races), and tend to roam the Feywild in large groups, like large mobile parties foraging in the woods for food and performing plays, singing, or playing instruments for coin.

In the material world — where satyrs often venture in search of excitement and new experiences — they’re much the same, and many take on the role of traveling bards and minstrels as they wend their way from one tavern to the next.

Not all satyrs are itinerant drunks and wandering poets, however. Some of them embrace their powerful connection to nature and the land, forming druid circles and performing pagan rites and rituals.

Everyone’s a potential friend to a satyr, even that bandit currently trying to stab you for your lunch money.

Strategies for Interaction:

Interacting with satyrs requires an understanding of their playful and unpredictable nature. Here are some effective strategies to consider when encountering these whimsical beings:

• Embrace spontaneity: Satyrs appreciate individuals who can let go of inhibitions and embrace the unpredictable nature of life. Show a willingness to join in their revelry, whether it be dancing, storytelling, or engaging in impromptu musical performances.
• Respect their freedom: Satyrs value their independence and dislike feeling constrained by rules and restrictions. Allow them the space to express their individuality and make their own choices, without imposing rigid expectations or limitations.
• Engage in shared experiences: Participate in activities that bring joy and wonder, such as exploring the natural world, discovering hidden gems, or creating art together. Satyrs thrive on shared experiences that celebrate the beauty of life.
• Appreciate their music: Satyrs possess a deep connection with music and are proficient in various musical instruments. Show an appreciation for their melodic talents, and perhaps even engage in a musical collaboration or jam session.
• Be open-minded and nonjudgmental: Satyrs embrace diversity and value individuals who do not take themselves too seriously. Avoid being overly serious or judgmental, which can dampen their spirit and hinder meaningful connections.

Naming

Occasionally take names from humans or elves, but much more frequently take names of heroes of the Shadar-Kai or great warriors that they revere. Examples would be Drizzt, Ryder, and Ashok for the males, and Quelanna, Baenrae, and Olra for the females.

Base Traits

Pun here.

Ability Scores: Choose one of: (a) Choose any +2; choose any other +1 (b) Choose three different +1

Age: They reach physical maturity around the same age as a human, although they possess a different view on mental adulthood compared to humans. A typical Shadar-Kai lives to around 120 or a bit longer, however, most Shadar-Kai who claim the title of adventurer, don't live beyond 30 or 40.

Size: Shadar-Kai are about the same size and build as a human. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight. A Shadar-Kai who spends a month out in the sun may ignore this trait until they return to the Shadowfell for at least a week.

Fey Ancestry. Magic can't put you to sleep.

Trance. Shadar-Kai don't really sleep, they are in a strange meditative trance for 4 hours. Shadar-Kai do not dream, but in a similar fashion they view dreams and memories allowed to them by the Raven Queen. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Shadow Jaunt. As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see in dim or dark light. Once you use this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. Starting at 3rd level, you also gain resistance to all damage when you teleport using this trait. The resistance lasts until the start of your next turn. During that time, you appear ghostly and translucent.

Shadow Cursed. You have resistance to necrotic damage and advantage on death saving throws, but you are harder to bring back from death. This is determined by Marcus, but for now you basically have a shorter fuse and harder DC. A shadow rises from the place of your death 1d4 hours after you die.

Naming

Tieflings that hold their origins in high regard take names derived from the Infernal language passed down through generations highlighting their fiendish heritage. However, those born into alternative societies typically take names that reflect their adopted culture. Younger tieflings have also taken pseudonyms or aliases that signify a virtue or concept vital to their ideals or morals. For many, it serves as a reminder that informs their behavior, acts as a noble quest, or stands as a kind of grim, righteous destiny.

Self-Sacrificing Hunters

Blood Hunters have no formal hierarchy and their Orders are as varied as the curses they choose to bear, but they do hold one thing in common, the Hunter's Bane. Those who survive this ancient and deadly ritual are able to wield the signature sanguine magic that marks them as a Blood Hunter.

The makeup of this sinister ritual varies by Order and era, with each incorporating monstrous curses and magic which grant a Blood Hunter the unique abilities of their Order. This ritual permanently changes the subject, inoculating its blood with monstrous power at the expense of what makes them a normal mortal. Wherever monsters lurk, there also are Blood Hunters who have given up their chance at a mundane life so they may stalk and slay the vile creatures of darkness.

Ancient & Sinister Rites

Wherever creatures of darkness prowl, so do warriors who stand against them. Many Orders of Blood Hunters can trace their lineage back to ancient days. The blood magic they use is older than the divine magic of Clerics and is a legacy of dark times when mortals were left to fend for themselves. Though their blood magic is grim in nature and unsettling in practice, many Blood Hunters place a great deal of pride in the elder traditions, rituals, and rites of their Occult Order.

Creating Your Blood Hunter

When creating a Blood Hunter, the most important thing to consider is why they would choose this accursed way of life. Were they the victim of a horrible monster attack and swore vengeance, no matter the personal cost? Were they trained from birth under the tutelage of an elder hunter, and forged into a relentless monster slayer? Or, were they recruited by a secretive society for their exceptional talent at hunting?

You learn 1 such Blood Rite, from the list at the end of the class. At certain levels you learn more Blood Rites, as indicated in the Rites Known column of the table above.

Once you invoke a Blood Rite you must finish a short or long rest before you can invoke that Blood Rite again. When you have no uses of a Blood Rite remaining, you can make a Vital Sacrifice to use that Rite again.

Blood Rites can only be used against creatures with blood. However, when you make a Vital Sacrifice to empower a Rite, you can target any creature, regardless if it has blood or not.

Prerequisite: Blood Hunter (Algebrassassin)

As a bonus action, you can invoke this Rite and curse one creature you can see within 30 feet. When you hit the creature and the resulting damage equals a prime number, you add the closest lower prime to the total damage. ex. 2 = 2 + 1, 3 = 3+2, 5 = 5+3, 7 = 7+5, 11 = 11+7

When you invoke this Rite you can make a Vital Sacrifice to empower it. If you do so the effects of this Rite last for 1 minute. The target can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effects of this Rite on a success.

Revelation

As a bonus action, you can invoke this Rite and choose one creature you can see within 30 feet. You immediately learn of one damage resistance, immunity, or vulnerability that creature has. If it has none of the traits above, the DM must instead reveal one of the creature's abilities of their choice.

When you invoke this Rite you can make a Vital Sacrifice to empower it. If you do, you can choose one immunity the creature has and turn it into resistance, or one resistance the creature has and dispel it. This effect lasts for 1 minute.

Siphoning

Prerequisite: Blood Hunter (Hemomancer)

As an action, you can invoke this Rite and force one creature you touch to make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, it takes necrotic damage equal to two rolls of your Rite Die, and you gain temporary hit points equal to the necrotic damage taken by the creature.

When you invoke this Rite you can make a Vital Sacrifice to empower it. If you do so, the creature takes the maximum necrotic damage.

Natural Instincts

Not all warriors learn to fight from expert soldiers or formal schools of war. Those known as Braveseekers are born with a talent for battle. They are able to wield weapons of war with deadly force based on pure instinct. What they lack in technique, these wild warriors make up for with pure indomitable dare.

The Zone

The source of every Braveseeker's prowess in battle is the ability to enter a battle trance known as The Zone. How this Rage manifests is different for each primal warrior. For some Braveseekers, it is an irresistible lust for blood that only subsides when each of their foes lays slain at their feet. For others, their Rage is an emotionless trance that allows them to ignore any emotions, loyalties, or injuries that would interfere with their fight.

No matter how this primal Rage manifests itself, it grants all Braveseekers near-supernatural levels of physical might and allows them to shrug off blows that would fell a lesser warrior. Many Braveseekers spend their lives seeking ever-greater foes to test the limits of their Zone, only satisfied when facing one who can match their combat prowess.

Creating Your Braveseeker

When creating a Braveseeker, the most important thing for you to consider is how they first entered their Zone. Did a lust for blood overtake you when your farm village was raided by bandits? Is your Rage fueled by a supernatural fanaticism for fire? Or, is your Rage a desire to subject those lesser than you?

Also, consider how your Bravseeker's Zone manifests itself in battle. Is it a frothing bestial fury that causes you to lose your sense of self? Is it an ancient trance passed down from the elders of your tribe so that you may defend your people? Or, does it manifest as a supernatural instinct in battle that allows you to predict the weak points of your enemies and shrug off deadly blows that would slay any other mortal?

Hit Points

• Hit Dice: 1d12 per braveseeker level.
• Hit Points (1st-level): 12 + your Constitution modifier.

You recover all expended uses when you finish a long rest. While in the Zone, you gain a number of benefits based on your choice of Zone.

Remaining in The Zone

You remain in the Zone until the end of your next turn, and it ends early if you don Heavy Armor or have the Incapacitated condition. If you're still in the Zone on your next turn, you can extend the it for another round by doing one or more of the following:

• Make an attack roll against an enemy.
• Force an enemy to make a saving throw.
• Make a relevant skill check.

Taking Actions

Your vassal acts immediately after your turn, following your commands as best it can. If you are incapacitated or otherwise absent, the vassal acts on its own as befits its current loyalty.

Attitudes

• It is given a meaningful reward by its subjugator.

You can use this feature once, and you regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Dreams Never Die (14th)

Commandments

Each deity has a set of three guiding principles—its commandments—that help to direct you in the service of your deity. Honor these commandments to gain—and maintain—the favor of your deity. Found in the deity section on page ###.

Divine Favor: If you make a notable effort to honor a commandment, you may be blessed with divine favor. You can hold a maximum number of divine favors at one time equal to your Spellcasting modifier (minimum 1).

On your turn, as a free action, you may spend one point of divine favor to do one of the following:

• Gain Stamina: Regain 1 expended hit die.
• Gain Power: Regain 1 expended 1st-level spell slot.
• Twist Fate: Reroll 1 ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. You must accept the second result.
• Cause Pain: Reroll all damage dice of an attack you have just made. You may accept either result.
• Forgiveness: Forgive one transgression you have made.

Transgression: If your deity decides that you have actively broken or rejected a commandment, some of your divine power may be stripped away for a time.

Roll a d6 and check the Transgression table below to find out which class feature you lose access to. Reroll any result that doesn't fully apply to you.

Penance: If you have transgressed, you will have to perform a penance to regain your deity's favor. The scale of this penance may vary depending on the severity of your transgression, but some common forms include:

• Donate: You make a charitable donation of goods, coin, or time to a worthy cause.
• Confess: You confess your transgression to a higher-ranking agent of your faith and are forgiven.
• Pray: You spend a period of time in dedicated prayer to and worship of your deity.
• Serve: You undertake a divine quest in the service of your deity and their domain.
• Sacrifice: You give up something of significant personal value.

If your penance is accepted, you regain one lost feature.

Domain Spells

Each domain has a list of spells—its domain spells—that you add to your cleric spell list. You may prepare a number of domain spells equal to your cleric level + proficiency modifier and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If you have a domain spell that doesn't appear on the cleric spell list, the spell is still a cleric spell for you.

Cantrips

At 1st-level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the cleric spell list. You learn additional cleric cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Class Features (Cleric) table.

Replacing Known Cantrips: When you gain a cleric level, you may choose one of the cleric cantrips you know and replace it with another cantrip from the cleric spell list.

Spell Slots

The Class Features (Cleric) table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st-level and higher. To cast one of your spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell cure wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast cure wounds using either slot.

Preparing Spells

You prepare the list of cleric spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the cleric spell list.

Preparing Your Spell List: Choose a number of cleric spells equal to your Spellcasting modifier + your cleric level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Casting a spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level cleric with a Spellcasting attribute (Wisdom) of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd-level, in any combination.

Changing Your Prepared Spells: You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of cleric spells requires time: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

While Wisdom is traditionally the attribute used for casting cleric spells, some practitioners may draw their power from different sources. You can choose an alternative ability score as your spellcasting modifier for cleric spells. Use the modifier of the chosen ability score to determine the saving throw DC or attack modifier for any cleric spell you cast.

Ritual Casting

You can cast a cleric spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Spellcasting Focus

You use a holy symbol as a spellcasting focus for your cleric spells.

Divine Versatility

When you finish a long rest, you can spend one point of divine favor to replace one of your known cleric cantrips with another cantrip from the cleric spell list.

Choosing Your Path

Choose your path from one of the following options:

• Path of the Missionary. With fervent zeal and unwavering conviction, the Missionary Cleric spreads their deity's teachings to the farthest corners of the world.
• Path of the Priest. As caretakers of faith and guardians of the sacred, the Priestly Cleric guides their flock with wisdom, compassion, and divine rites.

You also learn to Waggle Dance, which is a purely somatic language composed of full-body movements and flourishes.

Summon the Hive (1st)

You can summon a swarm of bees. As an action, you can expend one use of your Wild Shape feature to summon your bee swarm, rather than assuming a beast form.

The swarm appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 15 feet of you. Each creature within 5 feet of the spirit (other than you) when it appears must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take 1d8 piercing damage. This feature's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 6th level (2d8), 10th level (3d8), and 14th level (4d8).

In combat, the swarm shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the swarm can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The swarm is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands, lasting for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the swarm again, or until you die.

Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn't appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.

Hive Guardian (6th)

While your bonded swarm occupies a friendly creature's space, the swarm can use its reaction to redirect an attack that targets that creature to target the swarm instead.

Additionally, your swarm can use its action to envelop one willing Medium or smaller creature, giving them a flying speed equal to the swarm's until the start of the swarm's next turn, unless it decides to take this action again. While the swarm envelops another creature, it occupies their space and moves alongside the creature.

Masters of the Battlefield

Not every city guardsman, mercenary, or professional soldier is considered to be a true Fighter. Born with an innate talent for war and keen battle instincts, a born Fighter cannot resist the call of the battlefield. Hailing from the ranks of military officers, elite bodyguards, veteran mercenaries, and anointed knights, Fighters are known for their masterful skill in battle.

Dungeon delving, monster slaying, and other dangerous work common amongst adventurers is second nature for a Fighter. Something deep within them compels them to seek out conflict and throw themselves into the midst of it. Often champions of fair competition, Fighters make for loyal allies.

The Armaments of War

Every Fighter can swing an axe, fence with a rapier, cut down a foe with a longsword, and use a bow with a high degree of skill. Likewise, a Fighter is adept with shields and every form of armor. Fighters wield their weapons and armor of choice as an extension of their very self, transforming into beautiful yet deadly whirls of sharpened steel on the battlefield.

While they all have skill in battle, the nature of a Fighter's training can greatly vary. Some cultivate immense physical might, crushing their foes with overwhelming blows. Some prefer to strike from afar, slaying their enemies before they are aware of their presence. Others use tactical insights to coordinate their allies. And a rare few augment their martial abilities with limited, but potent, arcane spells.

Creating Your Fighter

When creating a Fighter, the most important thing to decide is where they gained their skill with the armaments of war. Are you the scion of a noble house, trained from birth by the best warriors in your family's employ? Are you a gladiator who fought for sport, forced to learn to fight, or perish? Did you come from nothing and earn food, shelter, and coins at the tip of your sword as a member of a mercenary company?

Also, consider your Fighter's style of combat and how the way you fight sets you apart from other warriors. Are you an artist with your weapons, gracefully flowing about the field of battle? Are you especially ruthless, reveling in the chaos and carnage of war? Or, do you fight with honor and respect, only challenging those that you deem your equal with the sword?

Hit Points

• Hit Dice: 1d10 per fighter level.
• Hit Points (1st-level): 10 + your Constitution modifier.
• Hit Points (Higher Levels): 1d5 + 5 + your Constitution modifier per fighter level after 1st.

Proficiencies

• Armor: All armor, shields.
• Weapons: Simple weapons, martial weapons.
• Tools: None.
• Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution.
• Skills: Choose two skills from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, Insight, Intimidation, Perception, and Survival.

Masters of Body, Mind, & Spirit

While most warriors work toward physical perfection, Martial Artists hone body and mind to work in tandem. With both aspects of themselves mastered, a Martial Artist is able to channel the primal energy within themselves, their Ki. Drawing upon this power, these reclusive warriors can perform supernatural feats.

Whether enlightenment, happiness, a challenging foe, or tests of might, all Martial Artists have an ideal or goal that propels them to greater heights of mastery.

Generations of Fighting History

Often honing their skills in clandestine training grounds, secret martial arts schools, or under the guidance of elusive mentors, Martial Artists willingly forsake their inheritance and societal titles to be accepted as disciples. Certain revered masters demand years of unwavering commitment and service to their martial sanctuaries before deeming a disciple worthy of initiation. Once the training commences, it persists until their last breath. Martial Artists pour every ounce of their passion, intellect, and spirit into the relentless pursuit of self-perfection.

Even the most esteemed martial arts grandmasters occasionally embark on journeys to explore different schools, entering as humble novices even in their advanced years. The pursuit of perfection remains ceaseless, and despite achieving profound martial prowess, the most accomplished view themselves as perpetual novices, eagerly embracing each new step on the path to enlightenment.

Creating Your Martial Artist

When creating your Martial Artist, there are a few things you should consider. Firstly, who (or what) first taught you in the ways of martial arts? Were you the final apprentice of a grand master, spending years at his side learning all you could? Were you trained as part of an elite military unit that had total mastery of body, mind, and soul? Or, were you a self-taught warrior who found spiritual enlightenment in the solitude of nature?

Secondly, you should consider what has motivated you to master yourself, and what you have sacrificed in pursuit of your skills. Are you the scion of a fallen noble house who has given up everything to train for your revenge? Were you an orphan, left at the feet of a martial arts master by a family that you never knew? Or, did an event in your life motivate you to pursue absolute mastery over body, mind, and soul?

Wondrous Skill

Despite their infamous reputation, the true mark of a Rogue is their finely honed skills. Whether they be a master burglar, an exceptional swordsman, or a deadly assassin, a Rogue is relentless in pursuit of perfection in their chosen field. What they lack in brute force or arcane talent they can make up for with their near-supernatural skills and signature ingenuity.

When nobles, archmages, or guilds need a job completed without fail they turn to a Rogue with a suitable set of skills. The right Rogue can open any lock, eliminate any target, and infiltrate any tomb, no matter how many traps are in the way.

Deadly Precision

Where other warriors overwhelm their foes with brutal force or flurries of strikes, Rogues leverage their cunning and exact aim to land single devastating blows on their foes. They will wait for the right moment, a foe distracted by a powerful ally or a monster caught in the throes of a spell, and when that opportunity arises, a Rogue can make a single strike count.

Some Rogues prefer to lurk in the shadows, stabbing their foes in the back while they are unaware, and others work to draw their adversary into single combat, deftly avoiding its attacks until a deadly opportunity presents itself to them.

This mindset of precision carries over into all facets of a Rogue's life. When using their thieves' tools to disarm a trap in an ancient dungeon, they will make only the most precise movements. When stalking a mark, a Rogue will often follow them for days, learning their every routine before they make their move, taking their target for all they are worth.

Creating Your Rogue

When creating your Rogue, there are a few things to consider. What skills have they chosen to master? Are they a criminal who can infiltrate even the most secure vault? Or, are they a master manipulator with a silver tongue? Or, has your Rogue combined minor magics with their talents for subterfuge?

You should also consider where your Rogue gained their exceptional skills. Were they an urchin living on the streets, forced to steal food in order to survive? Were they taken in by a thieves' guild and taught everything the guild knew? Or, are they the scion of a noble house, raised from birth as a master of political intrigue, artful swordplay, and public speaking?
