Chapter 1: Races

The currently available races cover all playable races in the FFXIV MMO along with the presumed race. Each race is able to fit into most fantasy worlds without trouble, I will include a quick blurb for each here.

Au Ra

The Au Ra are a race of scaled people who vary greatly in size between the males and females of the race. The males tend to be extremely tall while the females grow to be much shorter. The dark scaled Xaela are nomadic, travelling around vast grasslands in various tribes. The light scaled Raen live largely in secluded villages built in secret locations, keeping to themselves. Both the Xaela and Raen have members of their respective groups leave to find adventure.

Elezen

Final Fantasy XIV's answer to elves of fantasy settings, the Elezen are split into two groups, the Wildwood whom are light skinned and dextrous, skilled with a bow and live in either dense forests or their highly religious city-state homeland. Alternatively are the Duskwights who live in a series of twisting tunnels and ruins underground, coming up only to hunt for food before returning to their cavernous homes.

Hyur

The Hyur can be equated to the every day humans of fantasy settings. There are the average sized Midlanders, named for the elevation in which their sub species lived for many years, and the taller, more muscular highlanders, who lived in the high mountains for their declared homeland.

Hrothgar

The Hrothgar are powerful, feline people from the North who had struggles when meeting the other races of the world as they were unable to speak the common tongue. They walk two disctinct paths, one of servitude and the other of freedom.

Au ra

We Xaela are nomads who roam and live off the land. My tribe was no different. Yet though we did no harm to those whose lands we traversed, they treated us as vermin. In their ignorance, they feared us, and that fear manifested as spite and violence.

My loved ones and I were cursed at, spat upon, beaten, and worse. It was out of the desire to protect them that I began my research.

-Alaqa the Witch

The Au Ra are a misunderstood people due to their physical appearance. Their scaled bodies and horns led many to fear them, believing them to be descendants of dragons or demons. This fear led to hate, which gave way to violence, leaving these proud people few in number across much of the world. These conditions have led the Au Ra to value their families beyond all else.

Variable Size

Au Ra are characterized by their curved horns and intricate patterning of scales across their bodies. Sleek and powerful tails extend out from behind the Au Ra. There is a striking difference in height between the males and females of the race, the men ranging from just over 6 feet tall to 7 and a half feet tall, while the women are dwarfed, rarely coming close to 6 feet tall. Their faces contain sharp features and piercing eyes, alluding to their normally serious and sullen demeanor.

Au Ra tend to dress very modestly, wearing simple robes and lengths of cloth drapped over their bodies as cloaks, especially amongst the nomadic Xaela tribe.

Divided By Blood

The Auri creation myth tells the tale of two beings, the dawn father and the dusk mother. The two kinds of Au Ra have beliefs about their connection to these beings. The dark scaled Xaela are a nomadic people who believe that the blood of the dusk mother coarses through their veins. The Xaela view themselves as free spirit folk, who roam the lands hunting, gathering, and battling against other roaming tribes, in honour of their ancestors. The light scaled Raen have instead decided to assimilate into Eastern society, though they are a minority, their loyalty and service has been greatl boons to the culture they've engrained themselves in.

Peaks, Valleys and Plains

The Au Ra's homeland is known as Othard, a region to the far east. A majority of their homeland is covered by sprawling plains known as the Azim Steppe which dominates the region. The Xaela clans travel across this sea of grasslands in close knit tribes. The northern and western reaches of Othard are shieled with high mountain peaks and deep valleys shrouded in mist. It is from these mists that the Raen originally hailed. Today most live in civilized society or hidden villages allowing them to live peaceful lives.

For my family

An Au Ra may set off on an adventure for any number of reasons, a thirst of adventure, defense of their tribe or a mission for a master could send them on their path. This could go as far as searching for lost family members, or seeking revenge for a slight against their family.

It was consideration for their families which helped define the two bloodlines of the Au Ra. The Xaela sought to keep their traditional ways and use power to protect their families. The Raen felt that a peaceful livelihood amonst the other races of the world was the best appproach to protect their community.

Au Ra Names

The Au Ra approach names in two starkly different ways. The Xaela see many names shared across tribes, but there are as many spellings for the same name as there are tribes. Xaela take the name of their tribe as their surname. The Raen name themselves in their tongue in a way that their name carries meaning. Only those belonging to the ruling and warrior class of society legally have surnames, while commoners may take a surname, it is not legally recognized. Raen who are in power often take surnames related to their feats in battle, while commoners take names related to their profession.

Elezen

For centuries, our nation has been punished for the sins of our forefathers. If our punishment is to end, I believe we must right the wrongs of antiquity and move forward as a nation united. Needless to say, my father did not share this opinion.

-Ser Aymeric de Borel, Lord Commander of the Holy See

The Elezen are a race divided within themselves, and their often arrogant attitudes keep the other races at an arms reach. The Wildwood live off the lush forests, using their keen eyes to hunt and gather in the dense forests or live in the religious oligarchy of Ishgard, cut off from rest of the world. The Duskwights in contrast are notorious for thievery and pillaging. Spending much of their live in caves and caverns hidden in the forest.

Elegance and Pride

Long legs, slender bodies, pointed ears and sharp features are all marks of an elezen. Only rivaling their otherworld appearance is the poise with which they carry themselves. Their tall, thin frames only differ within the race by the colour of their skin. All Elezen try to clothe themselves whenever it is appropriate, valuing their appearance.

Difference of Opinion

The Elezen race is divided due to their pride. The Wildwood and Duskwights found they could not coexist and distanced themselves from one another. The Wildwood believing they are the true rulers of the forests in which they live and hold dominion. The largest population of Wildwood Elezen live in Ishgard, a massive religious city embroiled in a war against dragonkind, closed off from much of the world. The Duskwights, who made their homes in the cavern systems of the forests have since been driven to crime to survive due to the Wildwood's clutch on the boundaries of the forest.

The Woods and the North

The forest which the Elezen live is the Black Shroud, a massive forest brought to order by the Wildwood, who protect the forest from poachers and other threats which would encroach on it. Duskwights, who disregard the need to protect the forest and hunt to their content. Looking to the Northern city of Ishgard, towering spires, homes and a grand cathedral hide behind their giant gates. Living conditions in Ishgard are rough, as the poor go hungry in the lower levels of the city, while the wealth live in exuberance, looking down on the less fortunate citizens, ruled by the religious teachings of the Holy See.

Honour and Vengeance

An Elezen may set out on an adventure for many different reasons. An Ishgardian Wildwood hungry for revenge against the dragons may set out to seek greater strength, while another may take up arms to defend their forest home from an encroaching threat against the Black Shroud. Duskwights may set out to gain honour and riches to support their family or to prove to the world they are more than just a thief. Perhaps you seek glory in battle, and head out to find this fame.

Elezen Names

Both the Wildwood and Duskwight clans of Elezen spell their names very similarly. Men's names are longer and always in -loix, -aux, -mont, or -geant. A female's name will always end in -ne, -ette, -elle, or -ie.

Despite the similarity in their first names, the Elezen tribes over time claimed sur names for either side. These surnames will never cross clans, but only those who live within the race will know the difference.

Hrothgar

Hailing from the distant shores of Ilsabard, the Hrotgar are a burly people of lionlike appearance - or the males are, at least

-Hrothgar Description (Will update to a proper quote later)

Hrothgar had a difficult start in the world initially, lacking knowledge of the common tongue of the land, they often found themselves at odds with their more well spoken races of the world. In time these fiercely misunderstood people managed to learn the language of the land and peace was brokered between them and the other races and a friendly neighbours relationship formed.

Claws, Fur and Fury

The Hrothgar are a powerful people who boast broad frames, feline reflexes and fierce appearances which are marked by their sharp claws and pointed fangs. Their race suffers from having a large disporportion between the males and females of their kind, which males make up a staggering number of their kin. This has also led to the Hrothgar to adopt a matriachy in their homeland which rallied many, but drove many away as well, leading to them becoming known as The Lost.

A Question of Servitude

The Hrothgar split into two distinct groups of people over their ways of life coming into conflict. The Helions, who are easily identified by the warm colours of their fur, were found mainly in the southern parts of their homland and their lives revolved around their Queen. General most Helions are devout servants to their Queen. In comparison The Lost boasted a more free-spirited, nomadic life style, wanting to live their lives unbound by the whims of a Queen. As they live as nomads they often practice various professions from seasonal work, to mercenary, to merchant. Often they avoid professions which will force them to put roots down. Their fur is often coloured in cool colours, which is said to reflect their independence and the choice to leave the warm embrace of their Queen.

Mysterious Lands

Ilsebard is a land shrouded in mystery in both an academic and literal sense. Knowledge of the land of Ilsebard is sparce and the continent finds itself living beneath a blanket of fog and cloud. Shielded on all sides by mountainous regions and known for reserves of potent natural resources underground, the people of Ilsebard were able to arm themselves well using the avilable materials.

Its My Life

The Hrothgar have seen their kind split based on lifestyle choices between servitude and freedom. This ideological decision drives these people forward, the Helions setting off on adventure in the name of their Queen to protect her or further her agenda, while for The Lost adventure is a key part of their existence, needing to constantly travel to survive.

Hrothgar Names

Hrothgar names generally are shared between the Helions and the Lost, the difference in their naming stemming from traditional family names. The Helion clans are always three syllable names which begin with A, while the Lost always end their name in "-asch."

Male Hrothgar Names. Borimir, Deyan, Grugur, Mikac, Ludevit, Novak, Semir, Sudimir, Svante, Taman

Female Hrothgar Names. Anja, Gunnhildr, Hana, Jana, Katarina, Maja, Milena, Petra, Teodora

Hyur

Thal's Balls...I'd forgotten what it was like to feel so alive! Not since leaving the Bloodsands have I had the privilege. Not since the Bull of Ala Mhigo hung up his swords. Back then, the outcome might have been different. But I do not begrudge you your victory. I know how far you have come, how much you have endured. Our fight only confirmed it. We shall have to do this again one day, when time allows.

-Raubahn Aldynn, The Bull of Ala Mhigo

Around 1000 years ago, the Hyur spread across the land in a great migration from the north. They made their homes wherever they could set their footing. Some took to the mountains, while others found a foot hold in any city which would accept them. Today the Hyur are one of the most populous races in the world.

Of Average Build

The Hyur are a race of average sized humanoids whom one may view as an average group of people, lacking distinguishing features such as pointed ears, immense size or horns. Over time Hyur have diverged into two distinct groups, the Midlanders and Highlanders. Midlanders are widespread across the land and come in all shapes and colours, becoming prevelant in all cities. Highlanders in comparison are taller than their Midlander counterparts, boasting a more powerful, muscular build.

A Matter of Location

The differences between the Midlanders and Highlanders was born from their homes long ago. The Highlanders are named for living at a high elevation, mountains in particular.

These tough living conditions lead to a heartier, more physically powerful people. The Midlanders lived at sea level and across the world, which minimized changes due to life in extreme conditions.

People of the World

Hyur as a whole make up a large percentage of the population in the world. Over a thousand years ago the Hyur immigrated in massive waves from their homelands and made their homes wherever their feet hit the ground. Highlanders are a special case within the Hyur, famed for their mountainous city of Ala Mhigo. In recent years, the Ala Mighans were forced from their homes to immigrate across the world, mixing into the cities across the world themselves.

Glory and Prosperity

The Hyur are a hardworking and ambitious people, no matter what walk of life they come from. It is for this reason that for every Hyur in the world, there could be a different reason to seek adventure. Some may head out on the road for the value of the journey itself, while others may do so in search of riches. Some Hyur may be adventuring on another's behalf, perhaps their family sitting at home, or to defend their people from an imminent threat. In a world with so many possibilities, it does not take much convincing to bring a Hyur to action.

Hyur Names

The names of the Hyur are in the common tongue of the land. Midlander may take names which are appropriate for the culture in which they live while Highlanders take names which have a harshness in their pronunciation. As a surname, Midlanders will often take a descriptive name for their physical traits or profession. Highlanders prefer to earn their surnames in battle, using feats of martial prowess or names with violent imagery.

Lalafell

But I will see them suffer no longer. The victory feast shall provide the stage on which I declare the dissoultion of the sultanate. 'Tis mine intent that the ruling class of our golden city should take its place beside the common man in a fair and equitable republic. No more shall this nation bow to the whims of a privileged few.

-Nanamo Ul Namo, Sultana of Ul'Dah

The Lalafell are generally a cheery race of people. Long ago the Lalafells lived as masters of agriculture and spread across the land along trade routes, selling their produce becoming one of the most widespread races there is. In time the Dunesfolk went as far as establishing their own desert city-state known as Ul'Dah. These tiny folk are highly ambitious and are not afraid to take hold of opportunity when it appears before them.

Tiny Yet Mighty

Lalafell anotomy sees these kindly people rarely growing to be 3 feet tall. Their short bodies are rotund, with short feeble looking legs. But appearances can be deceiving as Lalafells bodies are highly efficient, allowing them to travel long distances on their short legs. The Plainsfolk have larger, pointed ears which greatly improved their hearing, while the Dunesfolk developed a film which covers their eyes, protecting them from the sun and sand of the desert. Additionally out of tradition, Dunesfolk will place gemstones associated with their zodiacal sign on their foreheads.

Products of the Land

The Lalafellin homelands produced two types of people, from which they take their names. The Plainsfolk started off as agriculturalists living their lives on their farms, eventually trading their goods across the land, leading for lalafells to spread across the world. The Dunesfolk began and remain as desert dwelling folk, their bodies adpating to the harsh conditions.

Rolling Planes and Towering Dunes

The Lalafell can trace their ancestery back to two key area. The Plainsfolk began as farmers on fertile islands in the south, farming the fertile lands of their namesake. The Dunesfolk were not so luck to have farmable land and instead turned to animal husbandry. Traditionally Dunesfolk built their homes on the backs of beasts of burden, travelling with their herds. Eventually the Dunesfolk founded a great city of wealth, where nearly all Dunesfolk live today.

Family and Fortune

Lalafells care deeply for their small families and would do anything for them. They may set out on an adventure to support their families or in their defense. Not all Lalafells have such pure goals though as many contain a great deal of ambition in their tiny bodies. Merchants travel all over the land, researchers seeking knowledge in secret places, sellswords bravely take on jobs to prove themselves. Lalafells may be small, but they take on the world in a big way.

Lalafell Names

Both the Plainsfolk and the Dunesfolk name themselves using set rhyming schemes, ruled by rhythm and repetition. Syllables are combining in various combinations to form playful sounding names. This means that Lalafells generally do not have surnames unless they come from royalty, which adds their family name in the middle. Each gender and subrace of Lalafell have their own ruleset detailed below. Each letter indicates a syllable or pair of syllables.

Miqo'te

The Nunh that I once fought also believed that his strrrength would save him. He was wrong, and I am now Nunh. Many years ago I joined the Company of Heroes to hone my skills instead of challenging my predecessor before I was ready. Even when I was young I understood that victorrrry goes to the patient, the cunning, the pragmatic."

-U'odh Nunh, leader of the Drake Tribe

The Miqo'te are an aloof people who value their independence from the world. Centuries ago the Miqo'te migrated, Seekers spreading across the world in low numbers while Keepers finding dense forests as a new home. Traditionally they avoid the other races, but over time more and more Miqo'te have integrated into society with pockets of die hard traditional Miqo'te tribes surviving out in the world.

Lithe Hunters

The Miqo'te are a feline race with large catlike ears, fanged teeth and long tails. They have a highly tuned sense of smell and powerful legs, which have allowed them to become natural hunters. The Seekers of the Sun's ears are wider with thicker fur, while the Keepers of the Moon's ears are longer and stylized, with shorter fur. Futhermore, the eyes of the Seekers has developed such that the pupils are slit light, to help guard their eyes from the exposure of the sun, while the Keepers' pupils have become large and rounded. Many more women are born into the tribes and clans of the Miqo'te people.

Of Suns and Moons

The Seekers or the Sun and Keepers of the Moon are two distinct ethnicities falling under the Miqo'te. Their cultures differ greatly down to the social structures of their groups. The Seekers live in male dominant societies centered around an alpha male known as the Nuhn, and worship the god Azeyma. In constrast the Keepers live in a matriarchical society and worship the goddess Menphina.

Arid Sands and Dense Woods

The hot, arid deserts of Southern Thanalan are home to one of the most famed tribes of the Seekers of the Sun. Seekers can be found anywhere across the world, barring cold regions with a harsh winter climate. Those who integrate into larger cities tend to discard their tribal ties and take up the social norms of the city in which they live. Keepers of the Moon have taken to the dense forests away from the heat of the sun.

Adventure Calls

The Miqo'te tend to differ on their approach to life depending on their ethnicity. The Seekers of the Sun are bold individuals who are quick to jump into action, but also become bored easily. This natural need for excitement may call a Miqo'te to action, leading them out into the world to explore. Those from traditional tribes may leave their tribe seeking to start their own clan of Seekers, becoming the alpha of their group.

Keepers are guarded and brooding, which may stall them from setting out on a journey, but when the need arises to protect family, friends or their home, a Keeper will stop at nothing to protect that which they cherish.

Miqo'te Names

Seekers of the sun use a simple naming convention. Male names are one or two syllables and preceded by a letter which is associated with the tribe. The extra aitches (H) we see in names such as represent a slight hissing/spitting sound that is made when the name is pronounced by the cat-like Miqo’te. Many of the other races in Eorzea cannot accurately reproduce this sound, so the aitches (H) end up going silent when read. They do not take a family name, but instead are given the name Tia at birth. A Tia may change their surname to Nunh by challenging the tribes breeding male and defeating him in battle. If successful the two trade titles. Female seekers' first names are given in the same way with three or more syllables, but the surname is the first name of the breeding male who sired her.

The tribal prefix often gets dropped in casual conversation and with close friends and family.

The female Keepers use one to two syllable first names without a tribal prefix due to their small communities. Additionally in their culture the mother's surname is passed on to the children. The males born into the Keepers' communities take both of their mother's names, adding a suffix to the end of their first name to indicate their birth order counting the males. It is rare that more than 3 suffixes are needed.

Male Seeker Names. I'wheto, S'ciwah, Q'tuja, P'fhemeh, I'chelu, B'cuhguh, S'tohm, S'ghut, M'bod, I'phur.

Female Seeker Names. C'nhamfaule, C'qhaalkamo, D'mhagsoo, G'ganni, H'yhaafoqu, J'gidhiju, K'jotnhu, L'keknhegu, M'yhaiabdu, N'zhamroli

They sought to secure a place to breed and multiply, that their kind might survive. Self-preservation, as you say. But we have as much right to live and thrive as they. If our own survival is threatened, are we to lay down our arms and welcome oblivion? Nay.

-Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn

The Roegadyn are a physically powerful race of people with a thirst for life which few can rival. They live loudly with boisterous voices, larger than life goals and an unflinching approach to danger. Roegadyns are fearless explorers who long ago were the greatest pirates to sail the seas. Adventure is in their blood.

Size Matters

Roegadyn are enormous humanoids with a hulking muscular build. Men and women alike grow to tower over the other races. Partly due to their size, Roegadyn as a whole love competitions of strength and courage, challenging one another to push themselves and their bravery. Their faces have fierce features and large flat noses. Due to their large size, Roegadyn tend to wear durable, flexible clothing which allows them to move easily.

Maritime Reavers, Volcanic Hermits

The Sea Wolves live up to their names through a storied history on the ocean. Most Sea Wolf communities can be found on the coast, as most make their living from the sea.

Be it sailing, naval service or mercenary work, the Sea Wolves continue to feel most at home when adventuring on board a ship. The Hellsguard in comparison live in land around the volcanic mountains of abalathia. Here they guard the material plane from undead spirits trying to return home.

The Great Seas and Abalathia

The Roegadyn as an entire race hail from the Northern seas , their name translating to people of the rain. These sea fairing people can be found living in coastal citites the world over living as sailors, mercenaries and pirates.

The Hellsguard live around the volcanoes of the Abalathia mountains, believing their home to be a sacred place related to the afterlife. Those Hellsguard who choose to leave their mountain homes can be found in large cities near these mountains, making a living as sellswords or chasing deeper knowledge of magic.

In Their Nature

The Roegadyn people are a boisterous race, seeking out challenges to test their power and bravery.

They rarely need much convincing to head into the heat of battle for a cause they believe in, though coin may help speed them along. Sea Wolves have a long history of pirating, looting and battle on ships of all sorts, giving them a deep seeded thirst for adventure. Hellsguard grow up in solitude away from society, having no city to call their own. They may decide to head off in search of a more engaging existence by heading down their mountain and seeing what else the world has to offer.

Roegadyn Names

Sea Wolves and Hellsguard follow very different rules when it comes to naming conventions. Sea Wolves all derive their names by combining two words from their ancient Roegadyn Language. Women of the Sea Wolves also derrive their names by combining two words, but the second word is always one of eight words. Sea Wolves form their surnames by taking their parent's name and adding a third word; syn for males and wyn for females, indicating they are a son or daughter respectively.

Hellsguard on the other hand avoid their ancient language and use the common tongue. Their names are formed using two words as well, often drawing inspiration from nature. Women of the Hellsguard tend to use plant imagery in their names as well, but are not restricted to do so. Nearly all Hellsguard abandon their family names, refusing to be defined by their ancestors in the past.

Viera

The Viera may begin as part of the Wood, but it is not the only end that we may choose.

-Fran the Sky Pirate

The Viera are a beautiful and mysterious folk, shrouded in mystery as many spend most of their lives in the Woodlands they call home. Their tall, slender bodies adorned with rabbit-like traits creates an air of grace amongst them. Long, high angled feet require high-heeled shoes and dextrous clawed fingers help to draw a striking image of the Viera.

Seperate Paths

The Viera are a race of both males and females, but outside of neccessary meetings to keep their race continuing onwards and taking the male children who have reached adulthood, they lead seperate lives. The males of the Viera live secretive, lonely lives in which they shun everyone, even their own kin to fully pursue their sacred role as a Wood-warder. The Wood-warders patrol the Golmore Jungle and ensure no outsiders reach their former homes. That isn't to say the women are defenseless though, as the female Viera are as capable as the men, but turn their attention to defend their young and homes.

People of the Wood

The word Viera itself means "people of the wood" and true to their name, in different forests of Dalmasca. Both the Rava and the Veena boast tall, lithe frames and graceful traits of rabbits. The Rava make their home in the Golmore Jungle and grew to have umber skin and dark hair, allowing them to more easily blend in with the forest. In stark contract the Veena have very light skin and fair hair help them blend in with the Skatay Range they call home. On average the Veena are shorter than their Ravan counterparts.

Of Jungles and Forests

Both the Rava and Veena clans make their homes exclusively in the Golmore Jungle, or the primeval forests which line the southwestern foothills of the Skatay Range, respectively. Both locations are large, sprawling canopies of forest which provide them with all the Viera need to survive. In addition to the thick forest canopy, the Skatay Range boasts white mountains which the Veena has grown to use as a secondary home. Both the Rava and Veena guard their homes with violence and without prejudice, anyone who enters their forest homes may be privy to a hostile reception.

The Green Word

The Viera's set of laws are considered to be the laws of the forest in which they live. The Viera take jobs under this set of laws and restrict themselves from having contact with the world outside of their forest. Among many other restrictions the Viera subject themselves to, some find their ways off putting. If a Viera chooses to leave the forest they are considered an outsider from that day forward. These strict laws often drive Viera with a fire in their heart away to seek adventure.

Viera Names

Viera names are often short in nature, normally only 4 characters long. The letter "J" is used as a vowel in their tongue creating confusion at times for those who are not familiar with the Viera language. Despite close attention to purity in their bloodlines, the Viera do not worry about lineage and do not have family names.

Male Viera Names. Atan, Morn, Tjln, Frjn

Unsure as to true examples of male names but will give some example names until official material is released

Female Viera Names. Fran, Jote, Mjrn, Kryn, Ktjn

Multiclassing Prerequisites

Multiclassing Proficiencies

Arcanist

A lightly armoured man maneuvers through the battlefield alongside his carbuncle companion. The carbuncle dashes ahead and lets out a burst of magical energy, dazing their foes, while their allies return to formation, swaying the battle in their favour.

A quiet woman carefully scratches notes into her research tome. After a long quiet hour passes, a shining avian figure bursts forth from another plane, ready to heed her every command.

A carefully launched arrow catches the the elven woman's ally. Invoking a few words and raising her grimoire to the sky, healing magics close the wound, allowing their friend to fight on.

These skillful magic users take on many roles on the battlefield, be it a commander of their allies, a medic or a destructive force. Through careful planning and preparation an Arcanist becomes an indomitable force to stand against.

Magic Through Research

Arcanists work hard to explore the secrets of magic, only through deep understanding of formulas and geometrical figures can they produce magical effects. Their tomes and grimoires are filled with fascinating formulas and diagrams, which when fed magical energy from the arcanist's body burst forth into powerful spells. Ever thirsty for greater knowledge, an Arcanist seeks knowledge and then puts it to the test.

Borrowed Power

One thing which sets the Arcanist apart from other spell casters is their usage of summoning companions. Early in their studies an Arcanist learns to summon forth a magical servant. This is the first major task of an Arcanist and helps to sharpen their powers. The companion borrows some of the arcanist's power and in return gives the caster an unwavering ally on the field of battle.

Creating an Arcanist

An arcanist's path begins with a few formulas scrawled in a tome and a large amount of time practicing their craft, researching to unlock greater power to have at their disposal. You must consider what was your arcanist's call to action? Perhaps their thirst for knowledge couldn't be satisfied at their desk, or they saw that their abilities could help the world in another way. Perhaps they uncovered some information that they must investigate or acted upon.

Whatever the cause which brought the arcanist out into the world, they do so with their research in hand and companion by their side.

Quick Build

You can make a Arcanist quickly by following these suggestions. First make Intelligence your highest ability score, following with Wisdom. Second take the Sage background. Third, take the Acid Splash, Mage Hand and Prestidigitation cantrips.

Class Features

As an Arcanist, you gain the following class features

Hit Points

• Hit Dice: 1d6 per Arcanist level
• Hit Points at 1st Level: 6 + your Constitution modifier
• Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per Arcanist level after 1st

Proficiencies

• Armor: None
• Weapons: Daggers, darts, slings, quarterstaffs, light crossbows
• Tools: None

• Saving Throws: Intelligence, Wisdom
• Skills: Choose two from Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, and Religion.

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background

• (a) quarterstaff or (b) a dagger
• (a) a grimoire spell casting focus
• (a) a scholar's pack or (b) an explorer's pack

Spellcasting

As a student of Arcane Magic, you have a Spellbook containing Spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know three Cantrips of your choice from the Arcanist spell list. You learn additional Arcanist Cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Arcanist table.

Spellbook

At 1st level, you have a Spellbook containing six 1st-level Arcanist Spells of your choice. Your Spellbook is the repository of the Arcanist Spells you know, except your Cantrips, which are fixed in your mind.

YOUR SPELLBOOK

The spells that you add to your spellbook as you gain levels reflect the arcane research you conduct on your own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other spells during your adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil Wizards’s chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library.

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

Copying that spell into your spellbook involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the person who wrote it. You must practice the spell until you understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your spellbook using your own notation.

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

Replacing the Book. You can copy a spell from your own spellbook into another book—for example, if you want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell.

If you lose your spellbook, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that you have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires you to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many Arcanists keep backup spellbooks in a safe place.

The Book’s Appearance. Your spellbook is a unique compilation of spells, with its own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume that you received as a gift from your master, a finely bound gilt-edged tome you found in an ancient library, or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together after you lost your previous spellbook in a mishap.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Arcanist table shows how many Spell Slots you have to cast your Spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these 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.

You prepare the list of Arcanist Spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of Arcanist Spells from your Spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Arcanist level (minimum of one spell). The Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.

For example, if you're a 3rd-level Arcanist, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level Spell Slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared Spells can include six Spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your Spellbook. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Magic Missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared Spells.

You can change your list of prepared Spells when you finish a Long Rest. Preparing a new list of Arcanist Spells requires time spent studying your Spellbook and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per Spell Levelfor each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your Spellcasting Ability for your Arcanist Spells, since you learn your Spellsthrough dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your Spellcasting Ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when Setting the saving throw DC for a Arcanist spell you cast and when Making an Attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast a Arcanist spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your Spellbook. You don't need to have the spell prepared.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus as a Spellcasting focus for your Arcanist Spells.

Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher

Each time you gain a Arcanist level, you can add two Arcanist Spells of your choice to your Spellbook for free. Each of these Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots, as shown on the Arcanist table. On your Adventures, you might find other Spells that you can add to your Spellbook (see “Your Spellbook”).

Tactics

Beginning at the 1st level, you have developed a head for tactics during battle. You may use a number of tactics equal to your Intelligence modifier. These uses recover after completing a short or long rest.

You learn your first tactic at 1st level from the following list. You learn additional tactics at the 2nd, 6th, 10th and 14th level. Some tactics may require you be at least a certain level or have taken a specific specialization.

Aetherial Barrier. When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of your summoned ally, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll.

Blessing of Nym (Scholar only). You may cast a spell which recovers hit points or is from the Nymian Scholar expanded spell list through your summoned ally. Your fey acts as the point of origin for the spell and your touch based spells may be cast as though you were standing where your fey is.

Bombarding. (Tactician only). When you take an attack action or cast a spell, you may direct one of your companions to strike. When you do so, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you. That creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack.

Castle (10th Level Required). Your summoned ally and a willing creature within 15ft. Of it instantaneously switch positions. This does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Carbuncle Bind (Tactician Only). When your carbuncle lands a melee attack, as a reaction you may attempt to bind a creature to your carbuncle. The target of your carbuncle's attack must make a dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a binding ethereal chain bursts forth from the carbuncle, shackling the target. The creature may not move more than 5ft away from the carbuncle for 1d4 rounds.

Astrologian

A slender woman draped in fine robes sits in a dark room across from a man who feels he has lost his way. Smiling she releases her Planisphere and a flurry of arcana cards into the air. From the squall of cards she draws and divines the man’s fate, instilling in the lost soul a sense of peace and hope for the future.

A man stands behind his allies on the battlefield. He raises his Star Globe to the sky and begins to channel energy into this tool. Using the power of the stars above, soothing energy radiates outwards, enveloping his allies, turning the tide of battle from the prior dire circumstance they fought against.

A well versed Astrologian stands before a congregation of people. She has come to spread the word of her rare new art, offering understanding of the future through the power of the stars. It has become her sacred duty to bring the stars into view for the common people.

Whether they stand behind their allies granting them the blessing of the stars and moons of the universe, or standing alongside them on the front line, Astrologians manipulate the fates of both friends and foe to find success.

Wielders of Fate

The first task of all Astrologians is to gain a mastery over using the deck of sixty. To them, fortunetelling is a tool which allows them to interpret the stars themselves. Their deck is based on the constellations that they study. The Astrologians are gifted a divining deck when they begin their study from their master. They act as a conduit for the magic energy gathered by their star globes, passing the empowering magic from the stars to their allies.

An Elegant Tool

The Star Globe is a tool used by Astrologians which allows them to locate and draw in power from the stars. The globes are formed by large rings of precious metal and lenses. The rings are marked using a large spread of precise markings and which allows the user to find and map the stars in order to draw power without a view of the sky.

Creating an Astrologian

Astrologians hail from a faraway island where knowledge is viewed as the greatest virtue. Astrologians are usually scholars by trade, and specialized in the study of astromancy. Often they find themselves born into the scholar’s life or into highborn families. Sometimes low born apprentices find themselves working beneath a master of astromancy and learn how to tap into the magic of the stars. Astrologians are blessed with the ability to read the future. Through the use of the deck of sixty and the stars they are capable of tapping into the future, though the farther they look, the less clear things become. Some Astrologians travel the land to share this gift of foresight with everyone, while others seek out opportunities to spread their young order of magic around the realm. Others track down allies and adventure, as the stars had mandated that the Astrologian set out on a quest for a task which they cannot see the end of. Astrologians borrow power from the cosmos, and in return seeks to see that the will of the stars is done.

The Diurnal Sect uses the sun as their reference point, creating their star maps with the sun being the key to navigation, while the Nocturnal Sect uses the moon as the reference point.

Members of the college are tasked with the mission of travelling the world to record history through poetry and verse, ensuring the harsh truths of history are not swept away. At the same time these bards must help lost souls who've suffered the tragedies of the past find peace.

The college of the Skysinger was the dream of a famed archer who inadvertently caused the deaths of his comrades. To cope with his grief he turned to the poetic arts and traveled the world trying to atone for his sins by delivering restless spirits to a peaceful slumber. He hoped to one day return to the place where his friends were lost, and lay their souls to rest.

To honour this legendary bard and archer, members of the College often take up the bow alongside their instruments.

Black Mage

A Lalafell stands before a horde of kobolds, blood thirsty they dash towards him. With a few skillful waves of his staff, a large fire ball erupts from the gem inlaid at the end of the staff, causing a massive fiery explosion, leaving nothing but ash.

A woman wearing dark robes grins as she waves her wand before a guard refusing her entry. With a few choice words and a spell, the guard happily steps aside, unlocking the passage before falling unconscious due to illness.

An Elezen laughs at his reflection as he inspects his body after tapping into the powers of the void. His eyes glow red and his teeth bare fangs, signs that his mastery of magic is growing.

A black mage is a powerful ally who wields forbidden magic stolen from the void. This raw energy manifests itself into devestation spells and effects. Their power is only rivaled by their thirst to increase that power.

A Dark Past

In days long past, there existed an evil clan and arcane art known as black magic—a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the path of ruin.

Adventurers who take the black will become agents of devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through little more than the force of their will.

Ties to the Void

In order for a mage to don the black, they must extensively research what they call the void. This is another plane of existence from which Black Mages draw knowledge from in order to unlock power within themselves. Most black mages are able to explore the knowledge gained from the void through tomes and texts now, but some who thirst for new power may attempt to tap into the void directly. Black Mages continue to grow within their craft through continuing their study of the dark arts.

Creating a Black Mage

Black Mages are earnest in their desires and reasons for taking the black. More often than not it is in the pursuit of power or out of sheer curiousity. You must know why you are pursuing this power, or why you are curious about the dark arts. You must also decide where you began to dip your toes into the world of black magic. Did you join a cult of mages who studied the art? Perhaps a proper school which provides the proper materials to explore black mage. Maybe you were taken under the wing of a mentor who has mastered the art.

A woman wearing tough leather armour mixed with long following lengths of blue fabric skillfully strikes out with the scimitar. With grace and power, the woman unleashes one of the many monstrous souls she's absrobed, shrouding their foe in flames.

A maked figure stands before an audience at the center of a coliseum. Larged beasts charge towards the figure, weaving magics with their cane spinning in hand they release the breath of a drake from their mouth.

The Blue Mage is a curious soul who has entwined their life with that of the monsters and beasts who roam the world. Whether writing a chronical of all the monsters in the world, or stealing their powers to defend their homes from the beasts, Blue Mages make for clever, viscious and dependable allies who can find a place of comfort anywhere on the battle field.

Ode to Monsters

The Blue Mage's trademark ability is their uncanny mastery over the souls of monsters. Lore Keepers craft their magic to mimic the skills of monsters, while Fell Guards and Masked Carnevallians go a step forward and absorb the life force of monsters and use it to fuel their magic. Regardless of approach, Blue Mages are renowned for fighting like monsters, unsettling their enemies and at times even their allies.

Gift of the Whalaqee

Blue Magic finds its roots in the New World, a sacred form of magic practiced by the Whalaqee tribe. They consider the powers of monsters to be that of nature and absorb their powers. They've also learned to store monster magic in totems to pass power on to other Blue Mages easily.

Creating a Blue Mage

When creating a Blue Mage one must consider how you came to know of Blue Magic. Did you meet a strange wanderer who assisted you in your studies? Perhaps you encountered a legendary beast when at a young age, affecting you in unforeseen ways. You must also consider the role that you will serve in the world in relation to monsters. Are your pursuits scholarly or are they of a more protective nature? Perhaps you seek out rare monsters to better yourself as a warrior.

Dancers perform their magical feats not through a stave or rod, but rather specially made jewelry worn on the wrists and ankles. As they dance around the battle field they move their bodies in specific patterns to manipulate the magical power within their bodies and to gather residual magic in the environment. Once they've gathered the required magic they must keep moving to keep their spell active, channeling the magic further.

Creating a Dancer

Dancers are passionate people dedicated to their craft. Spending years practicing has gifted them with the ability to weave spells and their passions together into a gorgeous display of skill.

Dark Knight

A man clad in heavy armor cleaves his way through the battle field. An aura of darkness radiates out from him. His blows are swift and sunder the foes' armor. His enemies turn and run, claiming he is no man, but a demon.

Standing before a wounded citizen, a woman clad in ebony holds out her hand towards the group of guards. She alone stands between the corrupted enforcers and the innocent soul. She chants in a lost tongue and a blast of dark energy launches from her palm, striking a guard down.

Battered and bloodied, a man drags himself to his feet. Armor dark as night, accented by his own blood, he feels energy bursting forth from his body. Using his pain as a weapon he strikes down the great beast before him before falling to a knee.

It is a dark knight's freedom from the bounds of the law which make these dark avengers so effective. Unconcerned with what is lawful, a dark knight is concerned with what is ethical in their view. Those who spread tyranny and injustice best prepare for a visit from a dark knight who aims to set things right.

Protecting the Meek

A Dark Knight is a knight who has taken up arms to serve the downtrodden. They serve no lords or institutions, believing no one is exempt from justice, no matter what their position in society. They protect the commonfolk from not only banditry and wild beasts, but from corrupt men who seek to oppress them. In return, Dark Knights are often fed and housed by those they protect, or rely upon bounty hunting and raiding looters to support themselves.

Internal Darkness

When an adventurer chooses the path of a Dark Knight they understand that they are renouncing their rights to be a regular member of society. They belong to no society, acting as paragons of justice who see no allegiance. To assist them in their quest, Dark Knights are able to sacrifice their own life force to power a well of darkness within themselves. They cause themselves great pain and exhaustion in order to allow dark power to course through their body which they harness in a variety of ways.

Creating a Dark Knight

Dark Knights are natural adventurers, living outside the law to see their goals to fruition. They may live within a remote village protecting the inhabitants from bandits, while the land's knights turn a blind eye to their plight, or they may travel the world seeking out institutionalized injustice and smiting it with violence. Dark Knights act on behalf of the common folk, and do so not expecting praise nor admiration. They are aware that they will not be celebrated in the history books like Paladins would be. Instead they expect to be demonized by history and happily accept this fact. One seeking to become a Dark Knight must be introduced to it through some means, be it an ancient tome with their rituals recorded or a mentor to impart their knowledge.

A Path Shrouded in Sorrow

A Dark Knight takes up their sword knowing full well that the path they select will have harsh effects on their body and mind. They know they will be viewed as villains and monsters, while fighting to do the right thing. This understanding helps a Dark Knight select the path which they walk. A fledging Dark Knight decides where to direct this unavoidable misery. An Ebony Champion walks the path of a warrior, who will see countless battles, hardening themselves in the flames of war to become a peerless combatant. An Abyssal Channeler looks inwards, taking note of the darkness welling within them and learning to manipulate the raw life force energy into powerful Dark Arts.

Dragoon

The earthshaking roar of a dragon echoes across the battle field. Beating its wings furiously, the beast swoops down from the sky. A man clad in scale mail leaps high into the air and plunges down onto the creature's back, driving his spear into its spine, forcing the creature to the ground.

A woman stands among the chaos of war. She rushes down an opponent, striking with the ferocity of a dragon. Those who stood against her that day claim to have seen a dragon sweep the area with its fiery breath, rather than simply a woman with a longarmed weapon.

Grinning excitedly a young man jumps high into the air laughing. He has left the path of war to perfect his mastery of the sky. When he reaches the peak of his jump, he sprouts spectral wings and flies off into the distance.

These fearless warriors stand against dragons, demons, fiends and any other threats who would raise a hand against their homelands. Dragoons use their command of both the sky and ground to strike down their foes with deadly strikes.

Dragon's Bane

The Dragoon was a soldier born out of need in a distant land. Their homeland has been locked in a war against dragonkind for hundreds of years, leading to their soldiers to specialize in battling back against dragons. Their most notable ability is the Dragoon jump, which is powered by a magical gem each Dragoon receives upon completing their basic training.

Scourge of the Sky

The Dragoons have been blessed with the ability to soar high into the air like those they have taken up arms to destroy. These warriors are able to crash down from the sky using their weapons and body weight to drive any skyborn into the ground, or cause great damage to those already on land. Wings will not grant you safety from a Dragoon.

Creating a Dragoon

When creating a Dragoon, consider what brought them down the path of a specialized knight. They may have shown a certain aptitude which allowed them to become a dragoon with ease, or perhaps were born into the role due to the history of their homeland. A dragoon may have decided upon this path due to the stories of famed dragoons of legends, hoping to become as powerful and respected as the knights they had heard about while they were growing up.

Consider why a Dragoon would choose to head out on an adventure. Are they seeking a specific dragon, hoping to slay an enemy of their nation? Could your dragoon have unfinished business with a dragon from their past? Sometimes a dragoon may set out for the sake of journeying around the land.

Gunbreaker

Dusty and worn down, a man wielding a large two handed blade plunges it into a formidable beast standing before him. He pulls the trigger on the handle of the blade and sents a shockwave through the creature, stunning it for his allies to capitalize.

A woman lunges forward with her Gunblade in hand, as she cuts across her foes body she pulls the trigger unleashing flaming energy from her blade, making quick work of her enemy. She flashes a wild smile to the allies of her quickly defeated foe and beckons they try their luck against her sword arm as well.

Carefully, a man lines up his fire arm to take a shot at his approaching foes. He pulls the trigger and a blast of thundrous energy launches from his blade, crashing into the approach enemy, causing him to drop with a thud.

The Gunbreakers are innovative warriors who take the field with their trusty Gunblades in hand. Able to handle a variety of combat situations, the Gunbreaker exhibits a mastery over the battle field.

Art of War

There were once great generals so skilled at warfare that their work could have been seen as artistic. War forces mankind to innovate, and as such lead to the inception of the Gunbreaker. This unique creation features a a melee weapon infused with triggers and munitions to augment their attacks greatly. Despite being known alternatively as Gunblades their weaponry most tend to use focus melee combat, battling on the front lines.

A Symbol of Rebellion

The Gunbreakers find their roots in conflict. Desperate resistance fighters of Dalmasca, forced underground by the invading empire devised new and powerful arms to fight back against their oppressors, causing the Gunbreaker to shine as a rally call to rise up against anyone who'd crush others under their foot.

Creating a Gunbreaker

When creating a Gunbreaker, one must consider how they came to design their powerful weapon. It may have been a group effort, or one born from desperation. Perhaps the wielder of the gunblade sought only to experiment with weaponry and discover new ways to deliver destruction to their foes.

You must also consider why the Gunbreaker has decided to head off on their journey. Perhaps they stand for those who cannot stand for themselves, with dreams of ridding their home of evil forces. They may be a gritty mercenary who has found a efficient ways of dealing with problems, and a client who has many problems to see to. Perhaps they are testing the new weapon outside of their smithy it was forged in. It could be as simple as wanting to see the world or be a part of something bigger than themselves.

Whatever the reason, the Gunbreaker is a powerful ally to have on your side and fearful foe to face down.

You have chosen to study the art of the ninjas of Doma.

These traditional arts are passed down from master to student, father to son and mother to daughter. Their secrets are closely guarded by the practitioners.

Each mudra carries meaning. The Ten mudras draws power from the heavens, while the Chi mudra draws power from the earth. Jin completes the triangle, drawing power from the hearts of man. Together, these mudras allow the ninja to draw power from the world they live in.

Beginning at the 17th level, once a day as a bonus action, after using a ninjutsu you may use a second ninjutsu which requires one fewer mudra. Kassatsu refreshes after a short rest.

Red Mage

Like a lightning bolt streaking through the battlefield, she makes quick work of foe after foe. At the first sign of danger, the crimson beauty flips over the head of the foe behind her, letting loose a wave of energy as a parting gift.

A confident smrik spreads across the face of the veteran red mage. He unleashes spell after spell in quick succession, drawing on countless elements until his foe is annihilated.

As though a flower amonst a sea of weeds, the red mage leads their allies into battle. With a deep trust that they'll stay at their side, she turns her friends into the perfect dancing partners for this adventure, empowering them to match their grace.

Red Mages have drawn on a multitude of disciplines across the world, mixing black and white magic along with focused swordplay and style. All of these abilities have combined in this alluring mix of talent and flair, creating a hero worthy of becoming legendary.

Crimson Mage

Some fairy tales of Gyr Albania speak of the heroic deeds and daring adventures of mages clothed in crimson. These adventurers are known as Red Mages, and travel the world protecting the good in the world by drawing on both white and black magic, while mixing martial prowess into a flawless battle style.

Its Not About Fame

Their thirst for adventure, flashy style and renowned flair may lead many to believe that a Red Mage becomes an adventurer for the admiration of their fellow man, but that is not the case. Those who take the Red do so in order to take up arms to protect the good in the world and bring wrongdoers to justice. It is their heroic spirit which drives them to action, the garnered fame is just a perk.

Creating a Red Mage

When creating a Red Mage, you must consider why they may be heading out on their adventure. Did they become fed up with the oppressive nature of the world and seek the need to become a hero to the common man? They may have learned of a plot which endangers their home, perhaps the world as a whole and will stop at nothing to end it. Maybe it is simply a need to chase the thrill of adventure and become a hero of legend.

One key consideration to make as a Red Mage is where you came to learn your myriad of skills. Was it through the study of old tomes you discovered in an abandoned warehouse or library? Did you meet a mentor who saw great potential in you and introduced you to the art? Whatever the origin, you wield powerful skills with an artistic flair.

Quick Build

You can make a Red Mage quickly by following these suggestions. First make Charisma your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity. Second take the Folk Hero background.

Samurai

The young man stands before a ferocious beast, his blade still sheathed the villagers look on in horror as it closes in on its prey. With a smirk the man draws his blade and in a few lightning quick strokes, the beast falls with a thud.

The experienced veteran stands before a group of bandits. Their untrained strikes are easily dodged by the man, as he delivers blow after viscious blow, punishing each of their failed attempts on his life.

A young woman wanders into the city, her identity hidden beneath her shade. She hears of the oppression of the people in the village by the local lord. She nods to herself, knowing she has arrived at yet another town which would be better off without a master.

Far across the churning waves, beneath the rising sun, an island nation gave birth to a prolific style of swordplay. These noble warriors were sworn to their masters as their protectors, willing to give up their lives to see their duty complete. Honour or death was a common ideal for these disciplined soldiers.

Swordsmen of Legend

The Samurai are legendary swordsmen who lived by a code of honour. In service to the lords of their regions, they protected their lands with their lives and enforced their law without question. To do so, the Samurai nourished a timeless style of swordplay which remains mythic in its reputation to this day.

The Power Within

The Samurai draw on inner energies and an unshakeable discipline. These are the tools which the Samurai built their reputation. To take up and master the katana is to enter a league of your own, though not every samurai has been known to wield the blade for a master, some choosing to follow their own code and travel the world.

Creating a Samurai

When creating a Samurai, you have to decide how they became involved in the discipline. Were they born into the tradition, being the son of a samurai or lord? Perhaps they fight in a self-taught style which they continually hone through their travels.

Ontop of their roots as a samurai, you must consider why you fight as a samurai. Are you on a quest on behalf of a lord, or directly protecting their master's lands. Perhaps they cast off their ties to their masters and teachers altogether and travel the world for their own gain, or the protection of the common man.

Warrior

A Roegadyn woman stands locked in combat with a hobgoblin. With each swing of his blade, she meets with ferocity and powerful blows. The battle rages on, the woman feeding off the ecstasy of battle, receiving succor with each blow she lands.

A man dashes into the heat of battle, his battleax swinging wildly around him. He lets out an earth shaking battle cry as he crushes the ground and all those around him with explosive force.

A lightly armored figure stands at his ally's sides. His powerful voice echoes out across the field, empowering his allies as he leads his comrades into battle, axe drawn and swinging like a tempest of steel and iron.

Like a symbol crash in an orchestra, a warrior is an explosive force which stands out in any situation. Their booming voice, raw strength and powerful strikes are their tools for victory.

Indomitable Forces

The warrior finds their roots in ancient tribes akin to barbarians. These fearless fighters are peerless in their control of a force which they call the inner beast. Warriors often come from tribal backgrounds in which they learn to nurture and control this inner animal, which in turn grants them beast like strength and ferocity. Warrior bands once roamed unsettled lands as nomads, enjoying the boons which nature offers and defending the weak from those who would do them harm.

Unending Rage

Not unlike nature itself, a Warrior has the potential to become a relentless force of destruction. Like a raging forest fire, or an all consuming tidal wave, a warrior can unleash their inner beast to harness its rage. This state of being is known as berserking. While berserking, Warriors continually chase foes and defend allies, using their bloodlust to keep themselves in the battle as a threat.

Creating a Warrior

When creating a Warrior, one must consider their origins as a warrior. Are you a descendant of the ancient tribes from which warriors are able to draw their lineage? Perhaps you were a fledgling adventurer who found a mentor in the form of a former warrior who passed on the secrets of the inner beast. Perhaps you had a natural attunement to the ways of the warrior and have developed your skills without guidance.

You must also consider why you have set out on your life of adventuring? As a warrior, have you decided to seek out dangerous challenges to sharpen your skills or sate the appetite of the hungry beast inside you? Perhaps you have taken up arms in defense of your tribe, a village or a loved one? Warriors set out for any number of reasons.

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Two-Weapon Fighting

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Berserk

Beginning at the 1st level, on your turn, you can enter a Berserk state of mind, letting your inner beast act freely. While under the effect of Berserk you gain the following benefits:

• you have advantage on Strength checks and saving throws
• when you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a bonus to the damage roll that increases as you gain levels as a Warrior, as shown in the Berserk Damage column of the Warrior table.
• When you take slashing, piercing or bludgeoning damage from a non magical source, you reduce the damage by half your Constitution modifier rounded up.

If you are able to cast spells, you are unable to do so while berserking due to an inability to concentrate.

Your berserk state lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you have not attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your berserk state on your turn as a bonus action. For a number of rounds equal to 5 minus your Consintution modifier after your berserk state ends, you may not use the extra attack ability and your base movement speed is halved due to fatigue.

Once you have gone berserk the number of times shown in for your warrior level level in the Berserks column of the Warrior table, you must complete a long rest before you can go Berserk again.

Reckless Attack

Starting at 2nd level, when you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during that turn, but attack rolls against you are rolled with advantage until the beginning of your next turn.

Beastly Demeanor

Beginning at the 2nd level you gain a passive Intimidation score which you may use to replace rolls when making Intimidation ability checks. This passive Intimidation score is equal to 10 + your Strength modifier.

Warrior Archetype

At 3rd level, you select the tradition under which your warrior has trained. The Beast of Defiance tradition focus on restraining the inner beast of the warrior, and letting its power out only when needed. The Beast of Deliverance tradition focuses on allowing the inner beast to run wild, fighting alongside its power to lay your enemies low. The Maruader has turned from harnessing their inner beast to become fierce fighters on their own power.

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.

Extra Attack

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

Raw Intuition

Also beginning at 7th level, when you are struck by a melee weapon attack, as a reaction you may move directly back 5ft. from the creature and reduce the damage you have taken by 1d6. This damage redution is increased to 2d6 at the 13th level and 3d6 at the 18th level. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest. You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 18th level.

Bellow of the Beast

Beginning at the 7th level, you are able to attempt to dominate a conversation with the assistance of your inner beast. You may expend one use of Berserk to intimidate a creature with advantage and doubling all of your bonuses to the intimidate skill.

Onslaught

Beginning at the 9th level, when you use the dash action, you may make a melee weapon attack as a bonus action. You deal bonus damage on the attack equal to your Constitution modifier.

Revenge

Beginning at the 11th level, when a creature resolves an melee weapon attack action against you, as a reaction you may make one weapon attack against that creature.

Shake it Off

Beginning at the 13th level, while under the effects of Berserk, when you make a saving throw to resist a condition (excluding: Exhaustion, Grappled, Incapacitated, Prone, Restrained, Stunned and Unconscious) you may choose to end your Berserk state to automatically succeed on the saving throw. You may do this after your roll but before the outcome of the resist has been declared.

Upheaval

Beginning at the 15th level, while you are under the effects of Berserk, you are able to unleash a powerful blow fueled by your vigor. You make an unarmed strike, if you hit, you may declare you are using Upheaval. The creature makes a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failure your unarmed strike deals #d12 force damage, where # is equal to your Constitution modifier with a minimum of 1d12 force damage and half as much damage on a success. Your Berserk state immediately ends after delivering the blow.

Beastly Reflexes

Beginning at the 17th level, while you are under the effects of Berserk you are able to make two reactions per round.

Holmgang

Beginning at the 18th level, while under the effects of Berserk, as a bonus action you are able to enter an indomitable state known as Holmgang. For a number of rounds equal to half your Constitution modifier, rounded down, your hit points can not fall below 1. Additionally, you may attempt to link yourself to a creature within 10ft. of you. If the creature is Large sized or smaller the target creature must make a Strength saving throw (DC = 10 + your strength modifier) or be dragged to a space within 5 ft. of you. The creature cannot leave the 5ft. radius around you and your movement speed becomes 0ft. for the duration of Holmgang. You may only use Holmgang once and must complete a long rest before you may use it again.

Infuriate

Beginning at the 20th level, if you have no uses of Berserk left when you roll for initiative, you recover 2 uses of Berserk instantly.

The Beast Within

Warriors believe there is a beast within all the hearts of man. It is from this beastial force that they derive their power. There are two traditional approaches to working alongside one's inner beast. The Defiant tradition has the warrior stand in opposition to the destructive forces of the inner beast, while The Reckless tradition sees the warrior allow this beast to run wild, directing the destructive forces unmitigated.

The Beast of Defiance

A warrior who has cut their teeth under this tradition has tamed the beast within their heart, and gained great control over it. They channel the strength from this force only when it is needed, and are able to fight defensively with the help of such forces. Finding succor in the destruction of their foes and defense of their friends sees a defiant warrior become a powerful ally.

Disruption

Beginning at the 3rd level, while you are under the effects of Berserk, when a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll.

Storm's Path

Beginning at the 6th level, when you successfully land a melee weapon attack while under the effects of Berserk, you may decalre you are using Storm's Path. The target creature makes a Strength saving throw, DC = 10 + your strength modifier, on a failed save the creature deals 1d6 less damage on their damage rolls for a number of rounds equal to your Strength modifier. This damage redution increases to 2d6 at the 14th level. You may only use Storm's Path once during each use of Berserk.

Voice of the Beast

Beginning at the 10th level, you learn the Charm Monster and Beast Sense spells, and may cast each one once. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. You may only cast Charm Monster on beasts. You may not cast them again until you complete a long rest.

Inner Beast

Beginning at the 14th level, as an action you can use Inner Beast. Make a melee weapon attack against a target creature. On a successful attack roll you deal your normal weapon as well as recover hit points equal to 2d8+6 hit points and deal equal bonus damage. The effects of Berserk ends immediately after you use Inner Beast.

The Beast of Deliverance

A warrior of the Reckless Tradition has grown alongside their inner beast. They allow this force to take over and push their bodies to incredible feats of strength. They fight without care for their own safety, allowing bloodlust to take over. A reckless warrior's inner beast is hungry, and they allow this overwhelming force to feed without a thought of reserve.

Inner Release

Beginning at the 3rd level, while you are under the effects of Berserk, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. At the 14th level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18-20.

Storm's Eye

Beginning at the 6th level, when you successfully land a melee weapon attack while under the effects of Berserk, you may decalre you are using Storm's Eye. The target creature makes a Constitution saving throw, DC = 10 + your strength modifier, on a failed save the creature receives 1d6 bonus damage from weapon attacks against it for a number of rounds equal to your Strength ability modifier. This bonus damage is increased to 2d6 at the 14th level. You may only use Storm's Eye once during each use of Berserk.

Wild Expertise

Beginning at the 10th level, you allow your inner beast to empower your physical abilities. You choose one skill from Acrobatics, Athletics, Stealth or Survival and gain proficiency in that skill. If you are already proficient in that ability, double your proficiency bonus when you make ability checks using that skill.

Fell Cleave

Beginning at the 14th level, while you are under the effects of Berserk you may use Fell Cleave as an action. Make an attack roll against a single creature within melee weapon range. This attack has a critical range of 15-20. On a successful attack, you deal the regular damage of the attack and a bonus 5d10 damage. Your Berserk ends immediately after the attack is resolved.

The Marauder

Some warriors choose to walk away from their inner beast, or try as they may, never make contact with this ferocious being within their hearts. Despite the abandonment or loss of their inner beast, a Marauder has trained extensively to compentsate for these losses. Marauders fight with the same ferocity as those with their beasts intact, but only look to themselves as the source of power.

Blood Bath

Beginning at the 3rd level, while you are under the effects of Berserk, when you land a successful melee weapon attack, you recover 1d4 hit points. You may only recover hit points once per round in this way. You recover 2d4 hit points starting at the 10th level and 3d4 hit points at the 14th level.

Maim

Beginning at the 6th level, when you use the Reckless Attack ability under the effects of Berserk, you can declare that you are using Maim. Enemy attacks do not gain advantage against you on their attack rolls for this round. You may use Maim once during each use of Berserk.

Ruffian Diplomacy

Beginning at the 10th level, you gain proficieny in the persuasion skill. After interacting with a creature for 1 minute, you gain insight into how the creature will react to boasts of might or intimidation. Your DM reveals if these tactics would be especially effective against the creature and you gain advantage on the appropriate Persuasion or Intimidation check if applicable.

Overpower

Beginning at the 14th level, you may cast the spell Destructive Wave at the 5th level, using Strength as your spell casting ability (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your strength modifier). Your Berserk state ends immediately after the spell resolves.

White Mage

A quiet and well groomed man waves his cane around himself, drawing in magical energy from the land and calling forth it's power. With a flick of his wrist the land parted and erupted sending his foe toppling to the ground.

A gentle young woman rushes to their ally's side. Through prayer and reverence for the land, it's power is shared with her, allowing her to close the wounds of her dying friend.

A stern heavily robed figure approached the abomination, raised from the dead. Calling for shining light, she banishes the undead back to the abyss.

Serene and elegant, the White Mages commune with the world around them, borrowing power from elementals present throughout the word. They are level headed, respectful spell casters who are aware that overstepping one's bounds in the world of magic can lead to calamity, and seek to keep order within the magic world while mending the wounds of those around them.

One with the land

White Mage's strength stems from an art they refer to as conjury. Conjury calls upon the elements of earth, wind, and water and concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved. Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation, conjurers draw forth and absorb magic from their immediate surroundings. A wand or cane made from unworked wood is then utilized to focus the magical energy until it manifests as the desired spell. Versed also in magicks that restore and strengthen, White Mages are regarded as accomplished healers.

Patrons of Light

White Mages find their roots in a society which revered nature as an ally, borrowing the power of the land and elementals to soothe wounds and protect from the wicked. Over time, the White Mages of the past overused this power causing the elementals to act out and smite the land, alongside the damage wrought by the opposing Black Mages, the world fell into a dark age. Today White Mages are few and far between, practicing the forbidden art to wield the powers of nature and light to drive off evil in protection of the world again.

Creating a White Mage

When creating a White Mage one must question how they came into the art of conjury and the profession of White Mage. Did a kindly mentor take you under their wing? Did your studies of magic from the past lead you to discovering how to draw power from the world you lived in? Perhaps the elementals which inhabit the land reached out to you and their whispers guided you to the path of a White Mage. Nonetheless a White Mage's role in the world is that of a protector, soothing the wounds of those who need it most, settling enraged elementals and driving the beings who bring destruction back from hence they came.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know 4 cantrips of your choice from the White Mage spell list. You learn additional White Mage cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the White Mage table.

Spell Slots

The White Mage table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these 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.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know 2 1st-level spells of your choice from the White Mage spell list. The Spells Known column of the Mage table shows when you learn more White Mage spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st, 2nd or 3rd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the White Mage spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Mage spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your White Mage spells. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a White Mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

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

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a rod, cane, wand or other similar equipment as an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the player's handbook) for your White Mage spells.

Ritual Casting

You can cast any White Mage spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

Soothe Sayer

Starting at 1st level, your healing spells are more effective. Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level.

Conjury Discipline

At 2nd level, you choose the discipline you belong to as a White Mage. Elementalist, Spirit Master, or Ampdapori, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your archetype choice grants you features at the 1st, 6th, 10th and 14th level.

Confession

Beginning at 2nd level, each time you cast a spell which restores hitpoints to a creature during combat, you gain a charge of holy energy in your body known as Confession. You may spend charges of Confession to make use of various White Mage abilities. You may only gain one charge of Confession from each spell cast. You may not hold more than three Confession charges in your body. If your hit points are reduced to 0 and you fall unconscious, you lose all Confession charges held in your body. You lose all Confession charges upon completing a 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.

Conservation of Life

Beginning at the 18th level, when your hit points are reduced to 0 and you fall unconscious, you release a pulse of healing energy. All allies, excluding yourself, within a 30ft. radius are healed for 2d8 + your Wisdom ability modifier hit points. This is unaffected by Touch of the Padjal. This effect only occurs once, refreshing after a long rest.

Graceful Healer

Beginning at the 20th level, you gain two Confession charges when you roll for initiative at the beginning of battle.

The Protectors of the Future

The White Mages goal in life is to safeguard the future through the use of the inherent magic hidden within the land. This has lead to three paths which a white mage chooses between to help focus what power they draw forth. An elementalist uses the power of nature to control earth, wind and water in defense of the land. The spirit master uses the essence of the world alongside the magic within their allies to bring forth powerful healing spells. The Ampdapori makes use of the power of light to bring forth a powerful advantage against blasphemous invaders to their realm.

Elementalist

White Mages who choose to focus on manipulating the elements around them come to be known as elementalists. They are able to work very closely with the elementals living across the land to borrow their strength and knowledge, turning the world itself into an ally.

Expanded Spell List

Elemental Aid

Beginning at the 2nd level, as a reaction you may spend a Confession charge to call on aid from the elementals to resist your enemies. For your next saving throw, you gain advantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws.

Eyes of the Elementals

Beginning at the 6th level, you may commune with the elementals in the surrounding area. You gain a mental map of an area of 2 mile radius centered on you. You must spend 15 minutes meditating while elementals share this information about the surrounding area with you. You may only commune with the elementals in this way once, your ability to do so refreshing after a long rest.

Also, you can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet.

Attuned Resistance

Beginning at the 10th level, you have developed an innate resistance to elemental magic. You have resistance to cold, fire and lightning damage.

Elemental Conversion

Beginning at the 14th level, you are able to convert your Confession charges into raw elemental energy. You may spend a number of Confession charges equal to the spell level of a spell you know which does not restore hit points to a creature and use the Confession charges in place of a spell slot.

Spirit Master

A Spirit Master is a White Mage who has focused their efforts into becoming master healers. They are steadfast allies who provide a great deal of support to those around them. Drawing power from the land and the spirits who inhabit it, a Spirit Master is able to unleash increadibly potent healing and support spells. They have taken on the role to soothe the wounds of those who protect the world and those who need protecting.

Expanded Spell List

Shroud of Saints

Beginning at the 2nd level, as a bonus action you may spend a Confession charge to shroud yourself in light. Melee and ranged attacks against you have disadvantage until your next action.

Surging Succor

Beginning at the 6th level, you may spend a Confession charge to cause the healing spells you cast on others heal you as well. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that restores hit points to a creature other than you, you regain hit points equal to 2 + the spell's level.

Clerical Smite

Beginning at the 10th level, you may spend a Confession charge to cast a healing spell on a target creature and deal radiant damage instead of healing if the total amount of hit points recovered is decided through rolling dice. This effect may not be used with spells greater than the 5th level.

Touch of the Padjal

Beginning at the 14th level, you may spend a Confession charge when you cast a healing spell. When you would normally roll one or more dice to restore hit points with a spell, you instead use the highest number possible for each die. For example, instead of restoring 2d6 hit points to a creature, you restore 12. You do not gain a Confession charge after this healing spell.

Ampdapori

Some White Mages focus on the role of repelling those who do not belong in the world from it, relying on light and holy magic to drive the undead and fiends from the world through destruction. An Ampdapori White Mage has taken up arms for this very purpose, using a mix of healing magic and holy magic to smite out blasphemous creatures from the land.

Expanded Spell List

Light's Blessing

Beginning at the 2nd level, if you are unarmoured, your armour class increases by 1 for each charge of Confession you hold in your body. While you hold a Confession charge in your body, you have resistance to necrotic damage.

Inquisitor's Light

Beginning at the 6th level, you may spend 15 minutes communing with the elementals to learn the location of any undead or fiend creatures within a 1 mile radius. You may only do this once before, your ability to do so refreshing after a long rest.

Ampdapori Protection

Beginning at the 10th level, as an action you may spend a Confession charge to grant necrotic resistance to your allies for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier. All allies within a 15ft. radius centered on you gain this resistance. You may only use this ability once, use of this ability refreshing after a long rest.

Purge

Beginning at the 14th level, you may spend one Confession charge to gain advantage on spells cast against undead and fiend creatures. On a successful spell against an undead or fiend target, you deal a bonus 4d6 radiant damage. At the 17th level this bonus damage is increased to 6d6.
