Introduction

Character Creation

2. Determine your Attributes

When playing the game, your character can attempt to do anything you describe, but what determines the ability to do those things are their attributes. Each attribute covers a slice of the potential interactions with the world. The attributes your character has are:

• Strength (STR), which represents how physically powerful your character is, including the ability to hit things with melee weapons, throw things, lift heavy objects, and more.
• Dexterity (DEX), which represents how agile your character is and how dexterously they can perform tasks requiring fine control, such as shooting ranged weapons, picking locks, moving silently, and tinkering with things.
• Constitution (CON), which represents your characters toughness, durability, and ability to endure things, including determining your hit points, ability to shrug off physical maladies and poisons, and ability to concentrate on spells.
• Intelligence (INT), which represents your characters mental acuity and education, including your 'book smarts', ability perform complex mental tasks, and spell casting for some classes, such as the Wizard.
• Wisdom (WIS), which represents your characters intuition, cunning, and mental fortitude, including such things as survival skills, perception, and ability to award off mind control.
• Charisma (CHA), which represents your character's force of personality, social aura, and willpower, including such things as persuading or intimidating others, overcoming things attempting to possess you, or tasks of raw willpower.

For each attribute, you will have an ability score which shows how good you are at that category of things. Having a 10 in an attribute is considered to be roughly human average, while the maximum attribute for player characters is 20 (typically only achieved after reaching a higher level).

Ability Modifiers

Whichever method used, once you have your ability scores, you write in your ability score modifiers (the amount added to rolls that use that attribute). Your modifier is amount of difference between the ability score and 10, divided by 2, rounded down. The chart below details the results for those with a mathphobia.

3. Choose an Ancestry

Select one of the following options. Each ancestry has some merits, but it is far more important to think about what you want to play. In most settings, Humans are the most common ancestry, and they are always a decent option no matter what class you're playing. Look through the ancestries, see what seems cool or fun, and if nothing jumps out at you, you can always play a human. After all, we all know how to play a human.

Due to how Inclinations and Standard Array works, you can make any class work with any ancestry without being disadvantage, so have fun and see where your inspiration takes you.

Your ancestry will determine the following:

• Ability Score Increase. All ancestries have a trait that increases one or more of your ability scores.
• Age. Age has no mechanical effect on your character unless you choose to represent it in the ability scores you select, but can contribute to the narrative of your character. The age will typically say at what point memebers of that ancestry are considered an adult and how long they can be expected to leave. If you plan to a character younger then the age of an adult for that species, you should consult with your DM and make sure that would work for their game.
• Size. All ancestries will have a trait telling you your size. Most ancestries are Small or Medium. Medium characters are typically over 4 feet tall, and less than 8 feet tall. Small characters are typically more than 2 feet tall, and less than 5 feet tall, but bulk and heft are factors as well. Notably Small creatures have trouble wielding weapons with the heavy property, explained under that weapon property.
• Speed. This trait covers your movement speed, which is how fast you can move along the ground in combat. If you gain any other speeds, such as a climbing speed, a flying speed or a swimming speed, they will also be mentioned, but if they are not mentioned, it means that ancestry uses the default rules for those types of movements.
• Languages. Your character can always speak at least one language (though that can include sign language), but may speak more languages, with many ancestries getting the default language of their ancestry in addition to Common.
• Heritages. Some ancestries have some types available which grant additional traits.

4. Choose a Background and Inclination

Next you'll want to select a Background. You can always select a Custom Background, in which case simply take that as your option and select the proficiencies granted by it. In cases that you select a preset background, it will come with a set of skills, languages, or tools that build that narrative, as well as come with some optional personality traits, bonds, ideals, and flaws that help you flesh out what sort of impression and outlook that background has added to your character.

These are always optional, so tell the story you want to tell... but always remember where you are starting. If you starting as a level 1 character in particular, your life story is probably not one of high adventure and daring just yet.

Preset backgrounds will come with one more feature, usually a minor one that helps outside of combat in niche cases where your background might be related to your new found life as an adventurer and come in handy.

Once you have selected a Background, select your Inclination. This gives you your last ability score increase of character creation, which can be usually used to make sure your classes preferred attribute is where you want it to be, be can always be flexed into another attribute if that tells the story you want to tell with your character. The most optimal selections are not the only ones. Your inclination also comes with optional personality trait, but like the background is completely optional.

5. Choose equipment

Your class and background determine your character’s starting equipment, including weapons, armor, and other adventuring gear. Record this equipment on your character sheet. All such items are detailed in the Equipment section.

Instead of taking the gear given to you by your class and background, you can purchase your starting equipment. You have a number of gold pieces (gp) to spend based on your class, as shown in the Equipment section. Extensive lists of equipment, with prices, also appear in that section.

Your Strength score limits the amount of gear you can carry. Try not to purchase equipment with a total weight (in pounds) exceeding your Strength score times 15. "Using Ability Scores" has more information on carrying capacity.

Character Progression

As your character goes on adventures and overcomes challenges, they gains experience, represented by experience points. A character who reaches a specified experience point total advances in capability. This advancement is called gaining a level.

Character Advancement

Milestone Leveling

As an alternative to experience, some DM's opt to have their characters level based on fixed objectives: for example, defeating a group of goblins may generate no experience directly, but completing a quest (or objective) such as escorting a merchant past a goblin infested forest might grant a whole level. There are many ways to do this, and it places the pacing and incentives more directly into the DM's hand.

Class Features

As a Barbarian, you gain the following class features

Rage

In battle, you fight with primal ferocity. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action.

While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren't wearing heavy armor:

• Strength Advantage. You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
• Rage Damage. When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a +1d4 bonus to the damage roll.
• Damage Resistance. You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
• Single Minded. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.
• Unable to Cast or Concentrate. You can't cast spells or concentrate on them while raging.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.

Once you have raged the maximum number of times for your barbarian level, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again. You may rage 2 times at 1st level, 3 at 3rd, 4 at 6th, 5 at 12th, and 6 at 17th (as shown on the class table).

Unarmored Defense

While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Body Language

Your very presence becomes a tangible threat that can underscore otherwise simple threatening actions. When you make an Intimidation check, you can use your Strength modifier in place of your Charisma modifier.

Reckless Attack

Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.

Danger Sense

At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren’t as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger.

You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see or hear, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can’t be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

Primal Path

At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage. The Path of the Berserker is detailed at the end of the class description, and additional primal paths are available in other sources. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.

Ability Score Improvement

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

You can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.

Extra Attack

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

Fast Movement

Starting at 5th level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren’t wearing heavy armor.

Bonus Skill

Martial Progression Feature

Additionally at 5th level, you gain one additional skill of your choice. You gain another additional skill of your choice at 7th level, and again 11th level.

Feral Instinct

By 7th level, your instincts are so honed that you have advantage on initiative rolls.

Additionally, if you are surprised at the beginning of combat and aren’t incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else on that turn.

Brutal Critical

Beginning at 9th level, you can roll one additional weapon damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a melee attack.

This increases to two additional dice at 13th level and three additional dice at 17th level.

Bonus Feat

Martial Progression Feature

Additionally at 9th level, you gain one additional feat of your choice. You gain an additional feat of your choice at 13th level, 17th level, and 20th level

Bonus Attunement Slot

Martial Progression Feature

At 10th level, you can attune to an additional magical item at a time (for a total of 4). This increases by 1 again at 18th level (to a total of 5).

Relentless Rage

Starting at 11th level, your rage can keep you fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 hit points while you’re raging and don’t die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.

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

Brute Force

Additionally at 11th level, you deal a second die of Rage damage (included on Class Table). Your rage damage is doubled when attacking objects or structures.

Persistent Rage

Beginning at 15th level, your rage is so fierce that it ends early only if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it.

Bonus Save Throw

Martial Progression Feature

Additionally at 15th level, you gain proficiency in an additional saving throw of your choice.

Bonus Expertise

Martial Progression Feature

At 16th level, you gain expertise in one skill you are proficient in. At 19th level, you gain expertise in an additional skill.

Indomitable Might

Beginning at 18th level, if your total for a Strength saving throw or ability check is less than your Strength score, you can use that score in place of the total.

Primal Champion

At 20th level, you embody the power of the wilds. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24.

Primal Paths

Path of the Wild Spirit

Barbarians of this path are in tune with the spirits of the wild, channeling them through their bodies to gain aspects of power and knowledge.

Class Features

As a Bard, you gain the following class features

Spellcasting

You have learned to untangle and reshape the fabric of reality in harmony with your wishes and music. Your spells are part of your vast repertoire, magic that you can tune to different situations. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the bard spell list.

Bardic Inspiration

You can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one Bardic Inspiration die, a d6.

Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.

You can use this feature twice. You gain an additional use at 5th (3 uses), 9th (4 uses), 13th (5 uses), and 17th (6 uses) level. You regain all uses when you complete a short or long rest.

Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.

Jack of All Trades

Starting at 2nd level, you can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn’t already include your proficiency bonus.

Song of Rest

Beginning at 2nd level, you can use soothing music or oration to help revitalize your wounded allies during a short rest. If you or any friendly creatures who can hear your performance regain hit points at the end of the short rest by spending one or more Hit Dice, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points.

The extra hit points increase when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d8 at 9th level, to 1d10 at 13th level, and to 1d12 at 17th level.

Bard College

At 3rd level, you delve into the advanced techniques of a bard college of your choice: the College of Lore detailed at the end of the class description or another from the Player's Handbook or other sources. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th and 14th level.

Expertise

At 3rd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies. You gain Expertise in those skills, meaning your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.

Ability Score Improvement

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

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

Center of Attention

At 6th level, you gain the ability to make a quick yet dramatic performance, distracting others and disrupting their attempts of others to frighten or charm your allies by pulling their attention to yourself. As a reaction to one or more creatures within 60 feet of you making a saving throw against being charmed or frightened, or attempting to perform an action unnoticed (such as Dexterity (Stealth) check), you can give those creatures advantage on their saving throw or ability check. A creature must be able to hear you to gain this benefit.

Taking this action automatically makes the target of the distraction aware of your presence and location.

Expertise

At 10th level, choose two more of your skill proficiencies. You gain Expertise in those skill.

Magical Secrets

By 10th level, you have plundered magical knowledge from a wide spectrum of disciplines. Choose two spells from the Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard spell lists. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table, or a cantrip.

The chosen spells count as bard spells for you and are included in the number in the Spells Known column of the Bard table.

You learn two additional spells from any classes at 14th level and again at 18th level.

Magical Secrets

At 14th level, you have plundered magical knowledge from a wide spectrum of disciplines. Choose two spells from any classes, including this one. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table, or a cantrip.

The chosen spells count as bard spells for you and are included in the number in the Spells Known column of the Bard table.

You learn two additional spells from any classes at 18th level.

Magical Secrets

At 18th level, you have plundered magical knowledge from a wide spectrum of disciplines. Choose two spells from any classes, including this one. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table, or a cantrip.

The chosen spells count as bard spells for you and are included in the number in the Spells Known column of the Bard table.

Unshackled Harmonics

At 20th level, casting another concentration spell no longer interrupts concentration on other spells you are concentrating as long as all spells you are concentrating on have a verbal component and the total number of spell levels (of all the spells you are concentrating on) add up to 9 or less (cantrips count as a 1st level spell for the purposes of this).

At beginning of each of your turns while you are concentrating on multiple spells, you must make a Charisma (Performance) check with a DC equal to 10 + the total number of spell levels you are concentrating on. On failure, you must end up one of them (your choice of which). You lose concentration on all but one spell (you select which one) if you become Silenced.

College of Lore

Bards of the College of Lore know something about most things, collecting bits of knowledge from sources as diverse as scholarly tomes and peasant tales. Whether singing folk ballads in taverns or elaborate compositions in royal courts, these bards use their gifts to hold audiences spellbound. When the applause dies down, the audience members might find themselves questioning everything they held to be true, from their faith in the priesthood of the local temple to their loyalty to the king.

The loyalty of these bards lies in the pursuit of beauty and truth, not in fealty to a monarch or following the tenets of a deity. A noble who keeps such a bard as a herald or advisor knows that the bard would rather be honest than politic.

The college’s members gather in libraries and sometimes in actual colleges, complete with classrooms and dormitories, to share their lore with one another. They also meet at festivals or affairs of state, where they can expose corruption, unravel lies, and poke fun at self-important figures of authority.

Cleric

Spellcasting

As a conduit for divine power, you can cast cleric spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for a selection of cleric spells.

Divine Domain

Choose one domain related to your deity from the list of available domains. Each domain is detailed in their own feature, and each one provides examples of gods associated with it. Your choice grants you domain spells and other features when you choose it at 1st level. It also grants you additional ways to use Channel Divinity when you gain that feature at 2nd level, and additional benefits at 6th, 8th, and 17th levels.

Channel Divinity

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You start with three such effects: Turn Undead, Nemesis Bane, and an effect determined by your domain. Some domains grant you additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the domain description.

When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again.

Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your cleric spell save DC.

Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity twice between rests, and beginning at 18th level, you can use it three times between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

Destroy Undead

Starting at 5th level, when an undead fails its saving throw against your Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the Destroy Undead table.

Sear Nemesis

Additionally at 5th level, when a creature fails its saving throw against your Nemesis Bane feature, the creature takes additional 1d8 additionally damage of the same damage type, for a total of 2d8 damage. This increases again at 8th level (to 3d8), 11th level (to 4d8), 14th level (to 5d8), and 17th level (to 6d8).

Channel Divinity

Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Channel Divinity twice between rests.

Divine Domain feature

At 6th level, you gain a feature from your Divine Domain.

Divine Intervention

Beginning at 10th level, you can call on your deity to intervene on your behalf when your need is great.

Imploring your deity’s aid requires you to use your action. Describe the assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice. If you roll a number equal to or lower than your cleric level, your deity intervenes. The DM chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any cleric spell or cleric domain spell would be appropriate.

If your deity intervenes, you can’t use this feature again for 7 days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a long rest.

Divine Intervention Improvement

At 20th level, your call for intervention succeeds automatically, no roll required.

Life Domain

The Life domain focuses on the vibrant positive energy — one of the fundamental forces of the universe — that sustains all life. The gods of life promote vitality and health through healing the sick and wounded, caring for those in need, and driving away the forces of death and undeath.

Cleric Spell List

Druid

Druidic

You know Druidic, the secret language of druids. You can speak the language and use it to leave hidden messages. You and others who know this language automatically spot such a message. Others spot the message’s presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but can’t decipher it without magic.

Spellcasting

Drawing on the divine essence of nature itself, you can cast spells to shape that essence to your will. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the druid spell list.

Wild Shape

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before. You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into, as shown in the Beast Shapes table. At 2nd level, for example, you can transform into any beast that has a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower that doesn’t have a flying or swimming speed.

Druid Circle

At 2nd level, you choose to identify with a circle of druids: the Circle of the Land detailed at the end of the class description or one from the Player's Handbook or other sources. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

Wild Shape Improvement

At 4th level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before of challenge rating 1/2 or lower that doesn't have a flying speed. You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Ability Score Improvement

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

You can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.

Wild Shape Improvement

At 8th level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before of challenge rating 1 or lower. You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Timeless Body

Starting at 18th level, the primal magic that you wield causes you to age more slowly. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year.

Beast Spells

Beginning at 18th level, you can cast many of your druid spells in any shape you assume using Wild Shape. You can perform the somatic and verbal components of a druid spell while in a beast shape, as well as any material components that lack a cost and aren’t consumed by a spell

Archdruid

At 20th level, you can draw directly on the power of the world as one of its chosen avatars, granting you new powers:

• Natural Avatar. You can use your Wild Shape an unlimited number of times.
• Beloved by Nature. Nature itself seeks to assist and protect you in combat. While you are in a natural environment, on initiative 20 (losing to ties), nature itself acts on your behalf, taking the form of a 2nd level or lower druid spell of your choice. If the spell has a spell save DC, it uses your spell save DC, but it does not require spell slots, you do not need to concentrate on it, and it does not count as you casting a spell. If the spell has a duration of longer than one round, the effect ends after one round unless this action is forgone to maintain the effect. At your DM's discretion, you can suggest an effect of a similar scale and effect nature might take (for example, a tree creating a bridge over a river with a branch, or a stone moving to give an ally cover).
• Nature's Conduit. As an action, you can channel the power of nature through you. When you do so, nature blooms all around you in a 60 foot radius. Roots and plants burst from the ground, flowers sprout and bloom, up to 5 trees grow in the area (as if by sprout tree) and any dead plants return to life. All living creatures of your choice within the area regain 4d8 hit points, and the environment becomes natural terrain for spells and abilities that require such for 1 hour. Once you use this ability, you cannot use this again until you complete a long rest.

Circle of Beasts

Druids of this circle are those that most aligned with the beasts of nature. Their primal connection greatly empowers the beast forms they can assume with wildshape. They often feel great kinship with the beasts of the world, sometimes more so than with the humanoids of the world, sometimes spending much of the time as variety of beasts.

Druids of this tendency feel the most at home in the untamed wilderness, where animals can run free in the natural order of things.

Druid Spell List

Class Features

As a Fighter, you gain the following class features

Fighting Style

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

Second Wind

You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

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 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.

Martial Archetype

At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate in your combat styles and techniques.

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

Extra Attack (Fighter)

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.

You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 17th level.

Bonus Feats

Unarmored Defense

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

Martial Arts

At 1st level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons, which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don’t have the two-handed or heavy property.

You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield:

• Finesse Strikes. You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons, as well checks to initiate or maintain grapples and shoves.
• Secret Technique. You roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon when using Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls. This die increases as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
• Quick Strike. When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, or you spend 1 ki point or more as part of your action on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike or grapple attempt as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn.
• Dexterous Leaper. You can add half your Dexterity ability score to your Long Jump and half your Dexterity modifier to your High Jump.
• Agile Actions. Starting at 2nd level, you can take the Dash or Disengage action as a bonus action.

Ki

Starting at 2nd level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of ki. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of ki points. Your monk level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ki Points column of the Monk table.

You can spend these points to fuel various ki features. You start knowing three such features: Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind. You learn more ki features as you gain levels in this class.

When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. If you ever roll initiative while you have 0 ki points, you gain 1 ki point.

Some of your ki features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Ki save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Unarmored Movement

Additionally at 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain monk levels, as shown in the Monk table.

If you reduce the incoming attacks damage to 0, you can expend 1 Ki point to immediately make a counter attack. Against a melee attack, this is an unarmed strike. Against a ranged attack, you can only counter attack if the attack was made with a projectile or thrown weapon, in which case you can throw it back as long as the target is within 60 feet, treated in as a ranged monk weapon (dealing damage equal to your Martial Arts die + your Dexterity modifier of the same damage type as the projectile or weapon thrown).

Ability Score Improvement

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

They hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct, and some, for better or worse, hold the rest of the world to the same standards.

Surgeon

These are Rogues that come from the bloodiest walk of life... that of a medic. Few Rogues have sliced open more creatures than a Surgeon, and they leverage their masterful understanding of anatomy to cut open and sew close in equal measure. They have seen everything an adventuring life has to offer - roper bites, dragon burns, bore holes in skulls - and turned that array of knowledge into a complete understanding of what a creature can survive... and what it can’t. Surgeons will tend to exhibit some degree of education, be it academic or hands on. They have seen the best and worst of humanity and the battlefield. Sometimes they are selfless heroes that act as a bulwark against death, while other times they are cynical and jaded to carnage, falling to apathy or worse.

Other Rogue 3rd Level Features

Sorcerer

Spellcasting

An event in your past, or in the life of a parent or ancestor, left an indelible mark on you, infusing you with arcane magic. This font of magic, whatever its origin, fuels your spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the sorcerer spell list.

Sorcerous Origin

Choose a sorcerous origin, which describes the source of your innate magical power: Draconic Bloodline or Wild Magic, both detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and again at 6th, 14th, and 18th level.

Font of Magic

At 2nd level, you tap into a deep wellspring of magic within yourself. This wellspring is represented by sorcery points, which allow you to create a variety of magical effects.

Empowered Spell

When you roll damage for a spell, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll a number of the damage dice up to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). You must use the new rolls.

• You can reduce the cost of a metamagic ability applied to that spell by 1.

• You can gain advantage on a spell attack roll.

Once you activate this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.

Draconic Bloodline

Your innate magic comes from draconic magic that was mingled with your blood or that of your ancestors. Most often, sorcerers with this origin trace their descent back to a mighty sorcerer of ancient times who made a bargain with a dragon or who might even have claimed a dragon parent. Some of these bloodlines are well established in the world, but most are obscure. Any given sorcerer could be the first of a new bloodline, as a result of a pact or some other exceptional circumstance.

Sorcerer Spell List

Warlock

Class Features

As a warlock, you gain the following class features.

Pact Magic

Your arcane research and the magic bestowed on you by your patron have given you facility with spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the warlock spell list.

Cantrips

You know eldritch blast and two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. You learn additional warlock cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Warlock table.

Spell Slots

The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your warlock spells of 1st through 5th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your warlock spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.

For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell witch bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.

Otherworldly Patron

At 1st level, you have struck a bargain with an otherworldly being chosen from the list of available patrons. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

Eldritch Invocations

In your study of occult lore, you have unearthed eldritch invocations, fragments of forbidden knowledge that imbue you with an abiding magical ability.

At 2nd level, you gain two eldritch invocations of your choice. When you gain certain warlock levels, you gain additional invocations of your choice, as shown in the Invocations Known column of the Warlock table.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the invocations you know and replace it with another invocation that you could learn at that level.

If an eldritch invocation has prerequisites, you must meet them to learn it. You can learn the invocation at the same time that you meet its prerequisites. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

Pact Boon

At 3rd level, your otherworldly patron bestows a gift upon you for your loyal service. You gain one of the following features of your choice

Pact of the Tome

You gain an eldritch tome called a Book of Shadows. As an action, you can call forth or dismiss this book. You can use this book to inscribe magical rituals.

Ritual Spells. Choose two 1st-level Warlock spells that have the "ritual" tag. The spells appear in the book and don’t count against the number of spells you know. With your Book of Shadows in hand, you can cast the chosen spells as rituals. You can’t cast the spells except as rituals, unless you’ve learned them by some other means. You can also cast a Warlock spell you know as a ritual if it has the ritual tag.

Learning New Rituals. On your adventures, you can add other Warlock ritual spells to your Book of Shadows. When you find such a spell, you can add it to the book if the spell’s level is equal to or less than half your warlock level (rounded up) and if you can spare the time to transcribe the spell. For each level of the spell, the transcription process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp for the rare inks needed to inscribe it.

Book Cantrips. Additionally, when you gain this feature, you can choose three cantrips of your choice from any spell list. While you are in possession of your Book of Shadows, you can cast this cantrips. They do not count against your cantrips known, and count as Warlock cantrips for you.

Replacing Your Book of Shadows. If you lose your Book of Shadows, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony call forth a new copy of it. This ceremony can be performed during long rest, and it destroys the previous book. The book turns to ash when you die.

Pact of the Chain

You learn the find familiar spell. When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of the following special forms: imp, pseudodragon, quasit, or sprite.

Your familiar shares your initiative, and acts on your turn. When your familiar takes damage, you can choose to take that damage yourself instead, transferring all damage to you.

Additionally, once per turn when you make an attack as part of the Attack action, or fire a beam as part of casting eldritch blast, you can forgo one attack (or beam) to allow your familiar to make an attack of its own. Your familiar uses your spell attack modifier when making attack rolls.

Ability Score Improvement

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

Mystic Arcanum (6th level)

At 11th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 6th-level spell from the warlock spell list as this arcanum.

You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

At higher levels, you gain more warlock spells of your choice that can be cast in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th level, one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.

Otherworldly Aspect

The Fiend

This Otherworldly Patron is for Warlocks that have made a pact with some great fiend of from the lower planes. Such being are almost exclusively evil beings with nefarious ends, though Warlocks of this pact do not always align with the goals of their patron. Frequently the patron will seek to corrupt, tempt, or otherwise assure the damnation of mortals, so Warlocks that have made deals with them will need to be wary... if their soul hasn't already become forfeit by making the pact originally. Many a Warlock in this situation is on a question for freedom or redemption... though there are others that just want to revel in their newfound power.

Dark One's Blessing

Starting at 1st level, when you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your warlock level (minimum of 1). You gain half as many temporary hit points (rounded down) if an allied creature within 20 feet reduces an hostile creature to 0 hit points.

Dark One's Own Luck

Starting at 6th level, you can call on your patron to alter fate in your favor. When you make an ability check or a saving throw, you can use this feature to add a d10 to your roll. You can do so after seeing the initial roll but before any of the roll's effects occur.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Fiendish Resilience

Starting at 10th level, you can choose one damage type when you finish a short or long rest. You gain resistance to that damage type until you choose a different one with this feature. Damage from magical weapons or silver weapons ignores this resistance.

Hurl Through Hell

Starting at 14th level, when you hit a creature with an attack, you can use this feature to instantly attempt to transport the target through the lower planes. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On failure, the creature disappears and hurtles through a nightmare landscape.

At the end of your next turn, the target returns to the space it previously occupied, or the nearest unoccupied space. If the target is not a fiend, it takes 10d10 psychic damage and is Incapacitated as it reels from its horrific experience.

Once you use this feature to successfully hurl a creature through hell, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

The Fey

Your patron is a power of the fanciful and chaotic fey realm. Pacts with fey are often strange and eclectic in nature, granting some small fraction of the vast but mysterious powers of the fey onto a mortal for often unknowable reasons... or perhaps trivial reasons mortal minds may find equally as baffling.

These sort of beings include powerful fairies, ancient hags, and fey lords of all types, ranging from beings curious and mischievous to horrifying and terrifying, from exuberant and joyful to seething piles of hatred given form. One never knows exactly what to expect when making a pact with a fey, but can safely assume their life will never be quite the same.

That Which Is Beyond

Your patron is defined by its sheer incomprehensibility to the mortal mind, an existence that is the very anathema of sanity itself, where any attempt to truly describe its nature is the gibbering of a mad man.

The most tame examples of these may have names or euphemisms that mortals know them as, while others may be concepts that most mortal minds remain blissfully incapable of knowing the existence of.

The patron need not be aware of your existence or invested in it for their power to have affected you, fundamentally warping your mind and granting you powers. Most that would have this opportunity have their mind shattered, left tattered and insane by the experience, but you’ve managed to hang onto some semblance of sanity and wield the power grafted into your mind.
